Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1040
In order to avoid suspicion, Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer, Liu Rushi and others did not accept Ella's invitation to celebrate the New Year at Chu Yun's house, but chose to gather in the house Wu Keshan bought for Da Yuer and cook the New Year's Eve dinner by themselves.

"His Royal Highness, please ask me to help you finish the French swan stew." The servant brought by Princess Sofia saw that Princess Sofia was in a hurry to finish her cooking, so she couldn't bear to watch and wanted to help.

"No, they all have their own dishes, and I want to make a dish myself! You just tell me the steps." Princess Sophia said stubbornly, her face covered with ashes from the stove fire.

"Obey, Your Highness the Princess." The servant no longer argued with Princess Sofia, but murmured in his heart, hoping that the swan stew made by the Princess would not kill anyone.

While washing the vegetables, Da Yuer said to Liu Rushi, who was watching the fire, "Sister Liu, your application to enter the Department of Mathematics seems to have caused quite a stir in the Imperial University. It is said that you are the only one who applied to study Mathematics. A female student of a difficult subject."

"I'm the only one?" Liu Rushi was a little surprised when she learned that she was the only female student in the mathematics department.

"Be careful not to find someone to marry in the future. I have also been exposed to advanced mathematics, and the content is very difficult and abstract." Dayuer reminded.

"Maybe sister, your intelligence is more suitable for learning mathematics than mine." Liu Rushi sighed softly.

She came from a bad background and didn't care about whether she could get married, so she decided to become a scholar and devote herself to research.

"Being a scholar may be too boring for me. I can't bear the same life." Da Yuer also sighed.

"Sister Da Yu'er, since you want to get married, I heard that your elder brother has helped you choose many blind date partners, isn't there one of you who is not in love?" Liu Rushi asked.

"I...they don't look good..." Da Yuer prevaricated.

"Sister, do you like Lord Junzhu?" Liu Rushi said suddenly.

"Don't talk nonsense." Dayuer said with a straight face.

"Good sister, we've known each other for a while, and I can see what's on your mind."

Liu Rushi added firewood to the stove from time to time, and the flickering firelight imprinted on her face.She dares to take the initiative to challenge the difficult field of mathematics, and she is also a smart person.Chu Yun is far beyond the values ​​of men in this era, which makes her, a rebellious woman, admire her. She can understand Da Yuer's mood a little bit.

It's just that Liu Rushi still faintly feels inferior because of her background, and usually doesn't take the initiative to speak up.

Da Yuer's cheeks were slightly hot when Liu Rushi talked about the central matter, and she tried to maintain a calm expression: "Sister, you are also a smart person, it is better not to say some things."

"Yeah." Liu Rushi just nodded, and looked at the fire absently.

Da Yuer, Liu Rushi and others who were busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner spent two hours busy before they prepared the private New Year's Eve dinner for their women.

"Kummissie, moose meat, boiled mutton..."

"Tempura, salt-baked sardines, taro soup..."

"Mandarin fish fried in vinegar, money shrimp cake..."

Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer, Liu Rushi, Hezi and others came from different places, and they each showed their abilities during this New Year's Eve dinner, hoping to let each other taste the food that they had never seen before.

At the very least, their craftsmanship is superior, and they pay attention to the taste of color and fragrance. Even Da Yuer's Mongolian dishes are integrated with the concept of Chinese cuisine, and they pay more attention to appearance.

Among the people present, only Princess Sofia showed an embarrassing expression. She brought up a pot of stew with swan meat and various vegetables floating in the viscous soup.Several pieces of swan meat were stewed, making it doubtful whether they could be eaten.

"My French swan stew..." Princess Sophia said bravely, her face was full of shame, and she made a dish, and the appearance was touching.

Whether it is Liu Rushi's Jiangnan cuisine, Hezi's Dongying cuisine, or Da Yuer's Mongolian cuisine, at least they all have the same appearance. Only Princess Sophia's cooking method seems to be stewed in a mess, as if all the ingredients were brainlessly cooked. Stuff it in a pot and cook it.

"The princess's craftsmanship is surprisingly good." Da Yuer, Liu Rushi and others said against their will.

"For someone who is cooking for the first time, such a result is not bad." Xiao Xiuer encouraged.

"The little one has tasted the princess's craftsmanship. Although the appearance is not good, the taste is not bad." The maid said.

"This is the taste of swan meat, delicious!"

A little girl picked up a piece of swan stew and thought it was good.

"Yuanyuan, you can't move your chopsticks now, it's not in line with dining etiquette!" Liu Rushi lightly reprimanded.

"I can't help seeing so many delicious food..." Chen Yuanyuan pouted.

"I'll talk back to my sister, it seems that I have to send you to middle school this year." Liu Rushi said.

"I agree to send Yuanyuan to the middle school, and I can pay Yuanyuan's tuition." Da Yuer chuckled lightly.

"Several sisters bullied Yuanyuan together. They obviously don't need to pay so much attention to etiquette when eating together." Chen Yuanyuan protested.

Seeing that the girls did not despise her craft, Princess Sophia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, talking and laughing with everyone, she unknowingly integrated into Da Yuer's circle.

While the girls were having dinner, a couple of guests came outside Da Yuer's mansion.

"Selina, why are you here?" Sophia found out that the pregnant Selina came to visit them.

Originally, Selina was watching the New Year with Li Jinde and Aunt Li's family, but at this time she and Li Jinde came to Dayuer's house to visit, and she knew that the princess and others were having dinner here.

"Your Highness, it's the most important festival in the East right now, and I want to see how you and your friends are doing well," Sarina said.

"Li Jinde has met all the girls. According to our customs, we also give you red envelopes, please accept them." As a big businessman, Li Jinde and his hands are quite generous. Red envelope.

"A silver ticket of 66 taels! It just so happens that the money left by Sir Greenville is not enough!" Princess Sophia directly opened Li Jinde's red envelope in front of everyone.

Li Jinde and others knew the habits of Westerners, so they didn't mind Princess Sophia's behavior.

"Your Highness, you must pay attention to your image," the maid reminded.

If Charles I knew that his sister was complacent because she got 66 taels of New Year's money, I don't know what kind of expression it would be.

"Yuanyuan, this is the tuition that my sister subsidized for you." As an official, Da Yuer couldn't collect money from Li Jinde, and it was not a small amount like 66 taels, so she handed the red envelope to Chen Yuanyuan.
