Chapter 344

The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of the year.

This day passed very peacefully. After breakfast and dinner, I waited for the arrival of New Year's Eve.

The people who were sent by Fourteen to work in the surrounding states and counties all made good time and rushed back on New Year's Eve.

As for those who left the Henan Province, they sent letters when it entered the twelfth lunar month. Because the business was too busy and the journey was too far, they couldn't rush back to give her New Year's greetings.Especially since several shops have just opened this year, the people in charge dare not slack off in the slightest.

This is the case with Kang Simu and Lin Er. The two were sent to Shendu for five years, Lin Er only came back three times, and Kang Simu only came back once in the third year, in order to thank Fourteen. big favor.

This year, Lin Er was unable to come back because Qihuoju rushed to open at the end of the year.Fourteen asked Lin San to go home to spend the New Year with his family instead of him, and gave him a ten-day holiday, from the 28th of the year to the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the afternoon of the [-]th day, the housekeeper of the Fang family came to the door in person and brought a pair of cold and warm jade chess pieces to Shishi: "Miss Xiao, this was sent from the Scarlet Face Kingdom. It was just delivered an hour ago, and our Patriarch immediately Let the little one bring it to you."

"Thank you, Patriarch Fang, for me." Fourteen asked Yinzhu to give him the reward.

But the housekeeper refused to take it: "It's a small blessing to be able to serve Miss Xiao, Miss Yinzhu, please take it back."

Fourteen smiled and said, "Take it away, it's just Chinese New Year, so please be lucky."

"Yes, the little one just got a little bit of Mrs. Xiao's happiness, and got this auspicious luck." Then the housekeeper took the purse handed over by Yin Zhu, and as soon as he got it in his hand, he knew it was quite a lot.Mrs. Xiao is really generous, no wonder that group of boys rush to do errands here.

Because Xiao Yan wanted a set of chess pieces, Shisi has been collecting chess pieces through various means recently. There are already five sets in the warehouse, and today's set is the sixth set.

"Yinzhu, come and pick with me." She took Yinzhu to the warehouse.

"My lady." Yinzhu said as she walked forward, "I don't know how to play chess. If you want to choose a chess piece, you should ask Zuo Sanlang. He can play chess, so he must know what kind of chess piece is better."

"Oh." Fourteen didn't stop walking, and said casually, "Then go find him and help me choose together."

"By the way, is Ah Yan with him?"

"No, Mr. Xiaolang practiced with Zuo Sanlang at noon, and played the piano for another class after lunch, and now he is going back to his room."

"Oh, that's fine." Fourteen nodded and said, "Although Ah Yan already knows what I'm going to give him, I still have to keep some surprises."

The warehouse is also on the second floor, Yinzhu put the chess pieces sent by Fang's family inside, and went to call Zuo Qiuyue over.

Then he came to the door and waited on the grounds that he didn't understand.

Once this chess piece is picked, it takes nearly an hour.

Yinzhu was not in a hurry, but looking at the time, it seemed that it was time to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Just as she was hesitating whether to go in to remind Fourteen or wait, the door was opened from the inside.

"Miss, have you chosen?" Yin Zhu asked.

Zuo Qiuyue opened the door and let Shisi let her out first.

Fourteen raised his foot and stepped across the threshold: "We discussed it and decided to send it together. Anyway, it was originally prepared for Ah Yan."

Yinzhu: So you guys discussed this matter in an hour inside?

She was very curious, how did she negotiate for an hour for something that could be finished in two sentences?

But she didn't ask, but reminded dutifully: "My lady, it's almost time to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Is it this late already?" Fourteen noticed that the lights had already been lit in the corridor.

"Then let's go, let's prepare together." Zuo Qiuyue said, "You take charge of the cooking, and I will help you."

"Okay."

Yin Zhu, who was robbed of her job, followed silently.

……

Tong Yang and Fourteen still overestimated Qi Xian, and they didn't wait until after New Year's Eve.When the New Year's Eve dinner was halfway prepared, he rushed over.

At that time, it was already dark, and most of the dishes that should be served in the steamer were put in the steamer, and those that should be put in the oil pan were put in the oil pan.Some people were lighting the fire, some were chopping vegetables, and some were handing bowls and chopsticks to take spoons. In short, the whole family gathered in the big kitchen and were very busy.

Qi Xian saw Tong Yang who was wearing an apron standing next to a stove waiting for the water to boil at first glance, and while continuing to look at him, he came to his side: "Master, why didn't you see her? And Ah Yan, the two of them Where did you go?"

"It's next door." Seeing that the water was boiling, Tong Yang picked up the lid of the pot and poured a pot of well-proportioned pork ribs into the water to blanch.

"next door?"

"Kitchen."

"Oh, there are too many people here, right?" Qi Xian said and was about to go, "Then I'll go over and have a look and tell her that I'm back."

Just as he was about to leave, Tong Yang grabbed his arm and took a step back.

He looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Miss Xiao is preparing food for Xiao Langjun to celebrate his birthday, don't go there."

"Oh, cake?" Qi Xian said happily when he heard the words, "That delicious one is that Master only makes it on A Yan's birthday every year. Then I will go and see how she makes it, and I will try it when I learn it. try."

Qi Xian wanted to leave again, but was pulled back by Tong Yang.

"what happened again?"

It is enough to pass the ribs through the water for a while. Tong Yang saw that it was almost done, and put the colander into Qi Xian's hand: "Help me."

"Oh."

Tong Yang filled the porcelain pot next to him with half a pot of cold water, and Qi Xian began to scoop out the ribs in the pot.It was Xiao Wu who was sitting on the stove burning fire: "Xiao Wu? Aren't you taking care of that so-and-so? Where did he go? Did he leave?"

"It's really rare to see a person with such lack of vision around Shisi, and you're still her apprentice." Xiang Mai who was next to her finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, why are you here?" Qi Xian didn't like her, "Aren't you going back to your home after Chinese New Year?"

"You still have the nerve to talk about me, why don't you go back to your own home?"

"This is my master's house, and it's my house."

"This is my apprentice's home, and it's also my home."

These two childish ghosts, Yin Zhu and Tong Yang couldn't stand listening to each other, and separated them one by one.

"After taking it out, brush it clean." Tong Yang said first.

"Miss Xiang, don't be distracted when cutting vegetables, be careful not to cut your hands." Yin Zhu reminded Xiang Mai.

The big kitchen became even more lively after Qi Xian was added, and at this time in the small kitchen next door, Shisi handed the egg whites and milk to two humanoid mixers - Zuo Qiuyue and Xiao Yan without any psychological burden.

In recent years, due to the large number of people in the family, Shishi hardly cooks in the space, and Xiao Yan's birthday cakes are also made outside.The most time-consuming and labor-intensive step is the step of whipping cream. Thinking that Zuo Qiuyue has internal strength, it must be easier than her who only uses brute force, so Fourteen handed over this work to him with peace of mind.

As for Xiao Yan, out of curiosity, he asked to do it himself.

Both of them took off their cloaks, Xiao Yan wore clothes with narrow sleeves, which made it easier to move around, while Zuo Qiuyue tied up his wide sleeves with an arm rope, exposing his forearm with clear muscles and bones.

The two of them fought for a long time without complaining of being tired or pausing. Fourteen smiled and asked, "Is it because of your internal strength to protect your body? Are your arms not sore?"

If it was her, the muscles in her arms would definitely be sore after working mechanically for so long.

"It seems to be." Xiao Yan replied with a smile, "Mother, since I started learning internal skills from Master, I feel that my body is stronger and lighter than before."

"Then you study hard and let him teach you the lightness kung fu as well." Fourteen said.

"Master said, lightness kung fu requires a certain amount of internal strength as a foundation, and he will teach me lightness kung fu when I have accumulated enough internal strength."

"Do you want to learn?" Zuo Qiuyue took the opportunity to ask Fourteen, "If you want to learn, I can teach you too."

"I'm starting to practice now, it's too late."

"It's not too late." Zuoqiu Yue said, "The advantage of your moves is that you are clever and treacherous, and you can attack people's vital points. If you have internal power to assist, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Although it is best to start practicing internal power at a young age, at that time the muscles and veins of the whole body are in full swing. Growing up is the most suitable time, but it doesn't mean you can't practice after you reach adulthood."

Fourteen thought slightly: "Then..."

"My lady! My lady!"

A shout from outside interrupted her.

People from the two kitchens ran out one after another.

"What happened?"

"A lot of officers and soldiers have come outside, and they have already surrounded our house!"
