Wei Xi became interested in writing couplets, and the final result was that everyone present received a pair of handwritten couplets presented by Wei Xi.Even Xiao Qi, Mama Rong and Steward Wei also had a pair in their hands.It wasn't until the handwriting was sour that the interest faded.At the moment when the pen was put down, except for Wei Xi, everyone else in the room was silently relieved.The moral of this couplet is good, and the words are cute and tight, but it is really not suitable for posting.After a while, Mother Rong went out for a while and came back, walked to Fu Yuheng, and reminded, "Madam, it's time to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”Fu Yuheng put down the couplet in his hand, got up and asked the maid to roll up her sleeves, and beckoned, "Let's go." ”Wei Yun and Wei Zhao had already done a good job of taking care of themselves quickly, and seeing that the little sister was still at a loss, Wei Yun hurriedly pulled her out and explained: "Xixi, our family has a tradition, on the day of the New Year, everyone in the family has to cook a dish for the relatives at home, but you are still young, I can cook with Xiao Zhao and my parents, little sister, just wait to eat." ”Wei Xi subconsciously glanced at her father and her brother when she heard this, and she had to say that she was really a little curious about how these two cooked, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to see if I'm okay?"
”"Absolutely."
The family left the house and headed to the kitchen.Everyone in the house knows this tradition in the master's house, because when they passed, the people in the kitchen basically withdrew, except for the two mothers-in-law who were responsible for lighting the fire and moving things.As soon as she entered the kitchen, Wei Xi found that her mother's aura immediately changed."
Bring me the vegetables and meat and let me see."
The two mothers-in-law immediately complied.When the vegetables and meat were retrieved, except for Wei Xi, the other four people went to get the ingredients they wanted to use.Wei Xi's eyes also fell on the pile of ingredients.There are several kinds of meat, and there are also various kinds of sun-dried mountain delicacies, but there are very few types of vegetables.Wei Yun pinched the handful of vegetables he grabbed and looked at his eyes and frowned, "What I don't like the most about this winter is that there are not many vegetables to eat." ”Wei Xi sat on a small low stool specially found for her, and looked at a radish on the ground that was disliked by everyone.As the weather gets colder and colder, the dishes on the table of Weifu are mostly meat every day, and the green on the table can only be regarded as an embellishment.Naturally, the fruit is also pitiful.That's it, it was those merchants who tried their best to transport it from the south thousands of miles away.It sells for more than meat.It's not easy for them to even eat some vegetables and fruits, and it can be imagined that there is probably no greenery at all on the dinner table of those ordinary people.Thinking of this, Wei Xi couldn't help frowning.I just think that eating meat alone is not good for the body.Wei Zhao had already taken a knife to cut meat on the board, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wei Xi with his chin on his lips and a pensive look, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but bend, "What are you worried about, I'm afraid that my brother's cooking is not delicious?"
”Hearing this, Wei Xi looked up at his skillful meat cutting action, shook his head, and stretched out his finger to point to the somewhat wilted radish on the ground, "No, I'm thinking about how to grow vegetables in this winter." ”Wei Yun snorted and laughed on the side, "Xixi, my sister advises you not to think about it, it's really a bit whimsical!"
”When the words fell, Wei Xi didn't say anything for a long time.Wei Yun was afraid that it would hit the little sister's self-confidence, and was about to make amends, when he heard Wei Xi speak: "It's man-made." ”Wei Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then curled his lips and smiled, "Then sister is waiting for Xixi to grow vegetables that can grow in winter." ”The other three only listened to what the sisters said, only smiled and shook their heads, and naturally they didn't take to heart Wei Xi's idea of growing vegetables in winter.The family worked in the kitchen for an hour, and the meal was finally ready and placed on the stove to warm.The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner naturally could not eat only these four dishes, so the hosts withdrew, and the rest of the dishes were completed by the chefs in the house.At the end of the unitary period, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.Waiting for the next person to set the dishes on the table, the five masters of the house and Dong Xueqing came to the table.Wei Xi swept through the table full of dishes, and saw that her mother still had a jar of wine in her hand.Smelling the faint aroma of wine wafting over, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.Hungry?
Wei Xi was stunned."
Come, don't drink today, it's all full first, let's have a drink first."
Fu Yuheng's voice fell, and the maids hurriedly stepped forward and poured wine for the masters.Wei Xi also raised his cup.When the maid walked behind her, she paused in pouring wine, a little embarrassed, "Second Miss?
”Wei Yun stretched out his hand on the side to take away the cup in Wei Xi's hand, "Xi Xi is still young, drink honey water." ”Wei Xi: "" She clenched the cup, rarely insisting, "I want to taste it too." ”"That's it," Fu Yuheng was enlightened, and nodded at the maid, "It's just some fruit wine, and the taste is also light, so it's okay for Xi'er to taste it." ”Wei Xi's eyebrows immediately curled uncontrollably, and he said sweetly: "Thank you." ”Watching the pale red liquor flow into the glass, Wei Xi took a deep breath, and his smile couldn't help but widen a little.When the wine entered his throat, Wei Xi's eyes lit up even more.The wine is mellow, soft in the mouth, and has a moderate sweetness, which is really good.Wei Zhao saw her sparkling eyes and smiled: "Xixi, how does this wine taste?"
”Wei Xi praised without hesitation: "It's delicious." ”Wei Zhao: "I brewed it." ”Wei Xi praised sincerely: "Brother is so powerful!
”The smile on Wei Zhao's face suddenly expanded several times: That's it, satisfied!
Of the twelve Chinese New Year's Eve dishes, Wei Xi ate the four most special dishes first.When she ate it in her mouth, it tasted unexpectedly good."
Is it delicious?"
Wei Yan saw that the youngest daughter had made several chopsticks by herself, and asked."
Well," Wei Xi nodded very facefully, "It's delicious, Daddy's craftsmanship is very good." ”Dong Xueqing also just grabbed a chopstick, and when she heard this, her hand shook and she almost didn't hold the chopsticks.She looked up and secretly glanced at the Master Wei, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the surprise in her heart, and she controlled her hand to put the food into her mouth steadily.The gentleman is far away from cooking.Wei Zhao brewed wine, she can still accept it.Who would have thought that the guard of a county would actually cook by himself.Before coming to Zhuoting County, she never imagined that her family could get along like this.I have to say that this family has really surprised her more and more.After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Wei Zhao, Wei Yun, Wei Xi and Dong Xueqing all received the waist money.After Dong Xueqing saw the number of silver tickets wrapped in red paper, her mouth couldn't help but open slightly.It was almost time to finish the meal, and after the next person sent the refreshments and snacks for the masters to keep the New Year, and some leaf cards and other things to pass the time, Fu Yuheng also asked them to go back to reunite with their families.The subordinates thanked him and retreated, and Wei Yun had already scooped up the leaf cards and started to shuffle them.Wei Xi held a plate of preserved fruits, eating and watching beside him, and he didn't know that he had fallen asleep with a piece of dried peach at the end, and was finally carried back to the bed in Xiyuan by Wei Yun.This sleep directly slept until dawn, woke up and sat up, opened the bed tent and looked at the sunlight from the window paper, Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling refreshed.Xiao Qi hurriedly walked in when she heard the movement in the inner room, met the eyes of her young lady, blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Happy New Year, congratulations to Second Miss on growing up one year older." ”She's really looking forward to growing up.Wei Xi was in a good mood and bent his eyebrows, and replied: "Happy New Year Xiaoqi, congratulations on being a year older!"
