The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 311 New Year's Eve Dinner

The sound of firecrackers in the mountain village spread far away into the cave where He Jiongming lived temporarily, as if there was nothing there.Qian Lancui, who was squatting by the stove built of stones, cooking porridge and hot dry food, thought it was the crackling sound of the firewood in the pot.

"Today is New Year's Eve, the general ordered me to buy wine and meat from the mountain, brothers, don't drink too much."

There was a burst of cheers in the cave, and Qian Lancui also got up and looked over. Seeing the officers and soldiers who were buying put down their baskets, they took out ten small jars of wine and fragrant roast chicken and oil bags. He couldn't help licking his lips.

Dai Xia handed over a roast chicken, a catty of sauced meat and a few fresh vegetables to Qian Lancui, "Tui'er, pack these up and send them in for the general."

"Yes!" Qian Lancui, who was summoned as a maid, happily agreed, put the cutting board on the big stone, and began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.During the half a year of living in Tongyou Lane, Xuanzhou, Qian Lancui took the initiative to take on the errands of grocery shopping and cooking in order to get more oil and water from her mother, and she cooked well.

Seeing that she was quite agile, Dai Xia sent a secret guard to watch her, and went into the small hole to report the situation at the foot of the mountain, "There are more than 30 Raozhou army officers and soldiers in the village at the foot of the mountain, and they are ordered to patrol nearby. The leading lieutenant named Zhen Xing is from this county."

He Jiongming, who was painting on the fine silk, asked without raising his head, "Are they really the Raozhou Army?"

Dai Xia was very sure, "Yes, Zhen Xing speaks with a county accent, and looks like a local. These 30 people are lazy and lazy. It seems that Ti Ge is not paying their wages. They live in the village and buy money from the villagers. A lot of pork, stewed meat and firecrackers were set off to celebrate the New Year with great fanfare. The Xuanzhou Army led by Du Chenghou and the Youhouwei led by Shen Ge are still surrounding Luotuo Ridge."

He Jiongming nodded, "Since that's the case, don't worry about it."

"Yes." Dai Xia said with a smile, "This place is simple, but there are a lot of things that should be there. I bought wine and meat from the town. You should have a good New Year's Eve dinner."

Just now, He Jiongming heard what Dai Xia shouted outside, and he just told him, "Tell them not to get drunk."

"Don't worry, I bought five small altars of wine in total."

There are more than 130 people with five jars of wine. It is not bad if each person can get two taels of wine, and it is even more impossible to get drunk.

"It's--"

The fragrance of the vegetables spread into the cave with the sound of the vegetables being put into the oil pan, Dai Xia smiled lowly, "It's quite fragrant. Your Majesty is wise, bringing this little girl is really useful."

The corners of He Jiongming's lips were also curled up, obviously in a good mood.

At the time of You, the guards brought dishes into the cave where He Jiongming lived. Tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner has five dishes: fried bacon with cabbage, steamed fish, shredded chicken, and sauced meat.

Qian Lancui, who had washed her face and put on clean clothes, came in with a plate of steaming dumplings, and said auspicious words in a cheerful and clear voice, "General, tonight there will be chickens and fishes, riches and meat, Lancui Cui wishes you a good year, General, and I also wish you an early victory over the rebel stronghold, beheading the enemy, and advancing every step of the way."

Qian Lancui followed He Jiongming and marched all the way here, thinking that he was here to suppress the bandits under the order of Youhouwei.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Dai Xia rolled his eyes and looked at the top of the cave, while He Jiongming inside the cave kept smiling and said softly, "Thanks to the girl, today is New Year's Eve. Miss, do you miss your family?"

Qian Lancui lowered her head, "Think."

Think of a ghost!Those three members of the Qian family must be cold and hungry right now, they deserve it!

Ah.Seeing Qian Lancui's duplicity, He Jiongming sighed leisurely, "My uncle and father did something stupid, and more than a hundred members of the Zheng family were implicated. Now there are only a dozen people in my family. The family is cold now. Cool and clear."

Qian Lancui saw that "Zheng Changming" was full of sorrow, and her heart ached, "The general's family is doing well, my father was caught with the pirates, my uncle and aunt were divorced from our family, and only my mother and There are only four of us, siblings."

He Jiongming pretended to be surprised, "Why did the girl's family break up with the Lin family?"

Qian Lancui was left alone and independent, "I hate being ashamed of being relatives with us, and I am afraid that we will take advantage of them. The general has also heard the gossip on the street? They are all nonsense made up by them for the sake of face."

At the beginning of the conversation, the hatred in Qian Lancui's heart could not be hidden, "If they hadn't forced us into desperation, my mother would not have sold me to a sick child for joy. What did I do wrong? Why am I ? Why should they live a good life with the money from selling me?"

He Jiongming raised his eyes to look at Qian Lancui, He Jiongming was very familiar with the hatred that could not be hidden in her eyes. The same is true for myself who was abandoned by my father in Xingyang City when I was 11 years old.

After 20 years, when his father fled again, he still left him.But after that, he can no longer abandon himself.

Ah.

He Jiongming grabbed his sleeves and wanted to pour a glass of wine, but Qian Lancui took the lead.

Qian Lancui picked up the small wine jar with her little hands suffering from chilblain, and poured a full glass of wine for He Jiongming, "General, hurry up and eat, the food will be cold later."

"Thank you." He Jiongming took a sip, took a chopstick of fried bacon with cabbage and put it into his mouth, and paused.

How... so hard to swallow.

In the village at the foot of the mountain, Shen Ge, Lin Ruyu, Xianyin, Zhuang Ming, Zou Shun, and Luo Xian gathered around the table to have a New Year's Eve dinner.These tables of meals were prepared by the village cooks who specialize in preparing banquets for weddings and funerals. Although the appearance is not good, the taste is not bad.

Lin Ruyu especially likes the big stew made by the village cooks with pork, hazel mushrooms, cabbage, and tofu. This taste is very similar to the stew made by the orphanage on New Year's Eve every year when she was an orphan, except that the vermicelli is missing.This big stew is the biggest expectation of the children in the orphanage every twelfth lunar month.

Now every bite is full of the taste in memory, and it also makes Lin Ruyu more deeply realize how happy she is to have a family, a lover, and a healthy body.

Seeing Lin Ruyu eating happily, Shen Ge was also happy.When he is happy, he eats more.

He really had to eat a lot, as long as Lin Ruyu counted, he ate three white flour steamed buns and two plates of dumplings.In other words, one Chen Ge can eat more than six of them.

Seeing Lin Ruyu's eyes fell on him, Shen Ge stole his back and opened his shoulders, his fair face turned red, as if he had drunk wine.

Does she feel that she is too edible?

Shen Ge, who was [-]% full, put down his chopsticks, stood up and served Lin Ruyu a bowl of egg drop soup, "Drink some soup to warm your stomach."

"Okay." Lin Ruyu took it and started to drink the soup.

After Shen Ge handed it to Lin Ruyu, he served soup to Xianyin and others, each bowl was handed out with auspicious words.

When Shen Ge filled soup for everyone on the table, Lin Ruyu took a peek at his flat stomach again, where did he eat so much food?He ate with himself before, wouldn't he be full every time?
