Chapter 193: New Year
Cooking skills like my father-in-law's are really rare. It's no problem to cut vegetables and make dumplings.
Where is the problem?
smell!
There is nothing delicious about that dish after dish, except for the bowl of rice in his hand!
However, my father-in-law still has a sense of self-confidence. He stubbornly thinks that he is pursuing the most original and purest taste of ingredients. In fact, his own cooking skills have already reached perfection, but you don’t know how to appreciate it...
Good guy, if you are capable of pursuing the most original taste of ingredients, you can hold a pig and eat it!
The culinary realm of my father-in-law is probably beyond the reach of a mortal like Xu Qing.
...
One of the dumplings was torn by Su Qian. Su Qian lowered her head and pursed her lips and said, "I... seem to have made a mess."
Xu Qing, who was sitting next to Su Qian, encouraged Su Qian with a smile, "It's the first time a lady can make a wrap like this, which is already better than most people."
With that said, Xu Qing stood up and came behind Su Qian, took Su Qian's hand holding the dough, laid it flat, then put a spoonful of fillings on it, and finally Xu Qing held Su Qian's two hands with both hands. With your hands, gently pinch the dumpling wrappers that have been filled with fillings to form them.
After repeating this for nearly ten times, Su Qian was finally able to make dumplings well by herself.
In the Su residence, not only the host's family is making dumplings, but even all the servants are making dumplings, with meat and vegetarian fillings, and they can make whatever they like.
The money Xuqing is out!
Not only the Su Manor, but even Xu Qing in Qingxue Study allocated a sum of money so that the maids and buddies in Qingxue Study could have a good New Year.
The servants in the two places not only had dumplings to eat, but also had lucky money issued by Xu Qing.
This naturally made the people under these maids be grateful.
Especially the maids of Qingxue's study, not only grateful, but even a little fearful, after all, they all had a part in tying the master up to the mountain...
...
The happy and happy time always passes quickly, and it is night in a blink of an eye.
Su Qian and Xu Qing cooked a big New Year's Eve dinner together in the kitchen. Originally, the father-in-law thought that such an important day should not only keep his daughter and son-in-law busy, but he should show his skills.
As a result, the county magistrate Su was pushed out by Xu Qing and Su Qian as soon as he entered the kitchen.
in the kitchen
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said, "My lady seems to be much better today."
Su Qian lowered her head when she heard the words, a touch of pink appeared on her cheeks and said, "I really feel much better."
In fact, where is the disease of being in good health but having no strength and inexplicable lethargy? I just want to keep Xu Qing by my side for a while...
As for Su Qian's petty thoughts, Xu Qing also had that kind of tacit thought. He already knew that his wife didn't have such a disease that required no strength at all.
A few days ago, Su Qian was able to get up alone in the middle of the night and walk to the table to drink a glass of water, and then walk back to lie down. Xu Qing knows...
Half of the New Year's Eve dinner is filled with salty and sweet dishes, such as sweet and sour short ribs, braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, etc. Su Qian likes to eat these sweet and delicious dishes.
As for the dishes magistrate Su likes to eat? Xu Qing thinks that what he and his wife like to eat, his father-in-law should also like...
During the meal, the father-in-law took out a red envelope and handed it to Su Qian. Su Qian was slightly startled, and then reached out to take it.
County magistrate Su said: "Although my daughter is married, I still have to give the lucky money."
Su Qian said softly: "Thank you, father."
County magistrate Su nodded with a smile on his face. In the past, no matter how much lucky money his daughter had given her, her own daughter would not talk like this. Since Xu Qing came, everything has become better, but... Qian'er's Mother is...
Just when Su County Magistrate felt a little sad, he suddenly saw Xu Qing's hand stretched out. Su County Magistrate looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Qing took it for granted, "New Year's money..."
County Magistrate Su snorted: "You are a dignified owner of Qingxue Study, a big man, what lucky money do you need?"
Xu Qing chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, in fact, my son-in-law is still a child..."
Su County Magistrate took out another red envelope from under the table and stuffed it into the hands of Xu Qing with a not wanting face: "Take it, take it."
Xu Qing looked at the red envelope in his hand and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Father-in-law really prepared it?"
He stretched out his hand just now as a joke, but I didn't expect this father-in-law to really prepare two copies...
The county magistrate of Su looked at Xu Qing with a smile after distributing the red envelopes: "The money is not much, don't be too little."
Xu Qing waved his hand, pocketed the red envelope and said, "How could it be, how could it be... Courtesy is less important than affection..."
You can't sleep on New Year's Eve. This is called keeping the year old.
After happily eating, Su Qian and Xu Qing returned to the room.
Xu Qing took out a red envelope from nowhere, handed it to Su Qian and said with a smile, "This is the lucky money for my wife."
At this time, Su Qian showed surprise on her face: "New Year's money? Is your husband also a concubine as a child?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "My lady doesn't want it? Then I will take it back."
At this time, an afterimage flashed by, and the red envelope in Xu Qing's hand had disappeared.
Su Qian shook the red envelope in her hand and said, "But since it's the husband's wish, the concubine will naturally accept it."
Xu Qing embraced Su Qian who was holding a red envelope and said, "My lady will always be a child in my heart."
Su Qian was held in Xu Qing's arms, her pretty face was gradually covered with a faint pink.
After collecting the red envelopes, the two of them sat by the bed, and a series of fireworks rose outside at some point, reflecting the sky brightly, against the little snowflakes falling in the sky, it looked warm and beautiful.
If the snow falls harder, we can build a snowman again tomorrow.
It should be said that fireworks are not only used as decorations for festive moments, nor are they just used to drive away Nian beasts during the New Year. The smoke produced by the burning of sulfur and saltpeter also has a certain effect of disinfecting viruses. To a certain extent Reduced the prevalence of disease and plague.
Look, the things invented by the ancients have profound meanings!
However, by the time of Xu Qing, the medical conditions were already very developed, and the sterilization effect of fireworks was not as important as in ancient times, and the denser population would easily disturb the people and cause fires, so fireworks were gradually banned. Switched to electronic fireworks with only sound but no smoke and flame.
Originally, the two of them agreed that they should observe the New Year's Eve well, and no one is allowed to sleep.
But, halfway through the New Year's Eve, Su Qian still leaned on Xu Qing's shoulder and fell asleep...
