After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 185 New Year's Eve
Jiang Yu was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and got up from the bed in a daze. She only knew that it was not bright yet, and the outside was already full of excitement.

Xing Yu heard the commotion inside, quickly took the plate of candied fruit on the table, went in and opened the curtain: "Girl, don't talk, open your mouth."

Jiang Yu, who hadn't opened her eyelids yet, felt a chill in her mouth, and a piece of candied dried apricot was fed into her mouth.

"Sweet or not?" Xing Yu pricked a few more on the fork, looking a little nervous.

Seeing this posture, Jiang Yu thought to herself that if she is not sweet, she should be fed until she is full?It's not fun to not even wash up in the morning.What's more, the dried apricots are really different from the usual ones, as soon as they enter the mouth, they feel like a lump of honey in the mouth.

The voice of the person who just woke up is inevitably a little unnatural: "Sweet."

After hearing this, the servant girl immediately beamed with joy: "That girl's life this year must be sweet!"

What kind of custom is this?It is also the first time for her to come here to celebrate the New Year, and there may still be many customs that she does not understand.Without waiting to ask, Xing Yu said again: "You don't know, in my hometown, every New Year's day, I have to eat something sweet in my mouth immediately. This is called 'asking for sweets'. The days of the year are also good."

The maidservant with the copper basin came over to wait for Jiang Yu to wash, rubbed a cotton towel in the water, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you fell asleep, today is New Year's Eve, and it will be the first day of the new year."

There was an oolong in the past half day, and everyone present laughed.Xing Yu recalled what happened just now, when Jiang Yu just woke up, she rushed to her face, and before anyone could react, she stuffed candied fruit, and didn't let anyone talk... She couldn't help but feel ashamed; "It's all my fault, don't make jokes me."

"Okay, let's eat today." Jiang Yu wiped her face, "Then I will wait for you to give me sweets tomorrow."

Because this is the first reunion year of the Chu family in the true sense, everyone attaches great importance to it.The wives of the two housekeepers not only bought new clothes for everyone in the house, but they even had to look at the lanterns with different patterns.

When the old man is free, he doesn’t spend all day in the study tossing about his group of "babies". He simply writes Spring Festival couplets for his own entertainment; Auspicious New Year's purse, when the time comes, put the New Year's money in it. As for who has more and who has less, it depends on the performance of this year.

The imperial court gave the two lords annual leave. During the rare leisure time, they put down their official duties and went out to buy and buy like the pillars of an ordinary family. They did not forget to bring some gifts back to the children. Fortunately, these "children" have grown up. aldult.

Chu Yanjing was sorting out the account books of his caravan this year; it seemed that Chu Yanyou was the only idler in this huge mansion, and he was teasing the parrot.

"My lord, you should restrain yourself. The second master will scold you when he comes back later, and if the wife sees you, she will say that you are not doing your job!" Rong Qing kindly reminded him.

But often good intentions do not "reward".Chu Yanyou kicked immediately: "Get out! Tell me, did you report the letter before!" Rong Qing had nothing to say, turned his head and left.

Only the parrot was left to imitate the second son: "Get out! Get out!"

Chu Yanyou: ...Okay, I'm the one who scolds myself in the end?
How can Jiang Yu be missing in a place with fireworks?Rao is that on weekdays, the food in the Chu Mansion is no different from that of ordinary people during Chinese New Year, but when it comes to Chinese New Year, this good food is still like running water.Any delicious meat dishes, refreshing vegetarian dishes, and delicious thick soups must be put on the table.

In order to ensure the taste of the dish, someone has to take a little from the plate to try the dish before passing it on.This Meng Hu is standing here, how can he just watch this good job fall on someone else's head?As soon as the chopsticks are picked up, they immediately enter the mouth.

"This one isn't very good, it's a little salty. I'm afraid the old man and the old lady won't be able to eat it with a strong taste."

"This soup is a little short, and the taste is not very good, too weak."

"I always feel like something is missing in this one, by the way, chili pepper! Did you put chili pepper?"

Jiang Yu was ashamed, this is not a food test, is this a provocation?When she turned her head, she met a big face with a beard: "Hey, if you want me to say that what they do is not as good as what you do, girl, what you do is really a..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yu dragged him away.Good guy, she can understand complimenting her, but stepping on her is still not worth it. If it weren't for the fact that he is Chu Yanjing's person, those cooks would have already been unable to control themselves and dunked with iron spoons!

On New Year's Eve, the main event still has to be at night.After dinner, all the people who worked in the Chu family went home, and they would not come back until the third day of junior high school, and the servants who signed the deeds of selling themselves and could not go home also went back to their rooms to rest.

Those who are still active in the main hall in front of them are really a family.The two masters simply stopped hiding and took out all the gifts they bought for the younger generation.

In order of size, Chu Yanjing came first.For this junior who has not returned home for a long time, the elders are really happy and angry.

The second master first handed over a box, opened it to see that it was an abacus made of Hetian jade.This kind of jade is warm and moist, no matter it is winter or summer, it will not feel so cold to the touch.It can be seen that when choosing a gift, you really put your heart into it.

In contrast, this father's gift was not so gorgeously packaged, and a stack of tickets was slapped on the table, and he said directly: "Don't you like doing business? Okay, this is your father's and mine. If you do a loss-making business, let's see how I deal with you!"

Chu Yanjing laughed.It's more real than being flashy, but not being flashy.As soon as the prestige words came out, Mr. Chu immediately squinted, which made the uncle immediately shut up.

My own old man is sitting there, how dare he pretend to be old man in front of his little one?Let's talk about it behind closed doors.

The eldest son has worked hard for many years to get the approval of his family, but Chu Yanyou is not so lucky.Opening his father's gift, he immediately howled: "Father! What do you want?"

Ming smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Yanyou, why are you in a hurry, why don't you open the one that your uncle gave you first?"

right!A light lit up in Chu Yanyou's eyes immediately. If his own father gave him something he didn't like, wouldn't there be an uncle?Let him see what it is, and when he lifted the lid, he immediately showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Negotiated, must be negotiated!Otherwise, after he saw his father giving brushes and ink sticks, his uncle bought rice paper and inkstone!The two brothers directly put together the four treasures of the study for him!
hatred!
The second master saw that his son was not only unhappy, but also showed a half-dead expression on his face, and after learning the lesson from the uncle, he winked at Chu Yanyou with his nostrils:
boy!Don't force me to go back and beat you!
