Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 117 Big New Year's Eve (Tears begging for pink!)
"By the way, there is also a reward for Kong Xi to protect the ten of them. I am inconvenient, so Chunfen and Ouyang will transfer it on my behalf. On such a family reunion day, they have to work hard to guard our house. The money is also worth it. Let’s talk about our family’s feelings. Let’s all go and get busy.”

Mu Ai took Simba Shuan to get up and go out, and everyone knelt down to thank him again...

It's the new year, everyone in the whole mansion has changed into new clothes, and they have received generous rewards, and they are all beaming with joy.Wen Bo put on the swastika-pattern brocade cotton padded jacket that his wife had given him, and walked around the yard twice with a smile, the wrinkles on his face piled up even more.Aunt Guo had a golden hairpin on her hair, and she was discussing the evening dishes with the autumn equinox with a smile on her face. Wu Ersao and Rou Lan squatted by the water basin happily playing with some fresh vegetables. Putting it in his mouth, he looked up and saw Roulan laughing at her, and couldn't help but blush.

When night fell, the banquets for the four tables were all set up. Autumn Equinox led two little girls with food boxes to send another table to the West Courtyard. Because the people in the mansion are almost over forty this year, all the banquets were well used. The porcelain is placed in the dining room of the large kitchen.

As for Kong Xi's off-duty guards, it was impossible for them to sit with the servants, so they made a separate seat in their room.

One of the guards with a baby face walked around the table in amazement and shouted joyfully, "Captain, look quickly, this... this is really a fresh dish, and the servants of this mansion actually have it." Such a good thing to eat?"

Kong Xi raised his hand and slapped him on the head with a stern posture, but unfortunately his strength was similar to slapping a mosquito. He reprimanded in a low voice, "Shut up! Don't look like you're worthless." He called the other three people at the table After sitting down, the baby-faced guard quickly picked up the flagon and poured wine for them, blushing slightly, "I just think it's amazing to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, and the captain is not surprised at all after seeing the world."

Kong Xi sat down next to him with a baby face, picked up a piece of ribs and put it in his bowl, his face softened a little, and said, "It wasn't you who guarded the gate a few days ago, the boys overturned the box Didn't you see the celery?"

"Ah, captain, you mean, this mansion is the one that delivers food to us adults?"

Kong Xi nodded, motioning for the other three to eat, and he took a taste of shredded beef with celery and chopsticks. I don’t know how this dish is cooked. The beef is not only not hard, but tender and soft. It is served with celery. The special aroma is really fresh and fragrant, and it is three points more delicious than the big kitchen food that I often eat these days, let alone compared with those stews in their Weifu. Several people also had the same expressions, and the baby faces wanted to bury their heads in the bowl.

Kong Xi couldn't help flashing a smile and pampering in his eyes, and raised his hand to grab another piece of pork belly for him.The baby-faced guard is called Ding San. He is the youngest among the dozens of brothers who retired with the adults. He likes to joke and play on weekdays, but his personality is surprisingly loyal.

That year they were still at war with the Baiqi Kingdom in the southwestern mountainous area. Those barbarians were good at making a kind of poison, which was rubbed on the arrows. Those who fell into a coma within three days would die immediately.At that time, just a few days after Ding San was assigned to his team, he reprimanded him for making a fool of himself in the general, but at the moment he was hit by an arrow, he ran for more than ten miles with him in spite of his own life. After arriving at the camp, he returned to the barbarian territory overnight, found a rare snake bone to detoxify him, and finally rescued him from the hands of Hades.Since then, he has always treated him like his own brother.

When this time came, the adults had a detailed discussion with him. Although he didn't say anything clearly, he still vaguely understood one thing between the lines.

The people selected this time are all family members. After the mission, they may be left here completely. They don't have to go back to the Wei Mansion, and they don't have to fight on the battlefield with their heads up. They can be a farmer in peace for the rest of their lives.

Although he was reluctant to leave his lord in his heart, he also knew that they were burdened by their family, and with his lord's temper, he absolutely couldn't bear to take them to the battlefield again, so he kowtowed gratefully, but still knelt down and begged him to replace him with another person. Ding San, who was still a bachelor, brought him out.Those of them who have survived the bloody storm many times, none of them do not expect an ordinary life.If you can only guard a few acres of land every day, guard your wife and children, and worry about some household chores, it would be a happy thing.

It has been more than half a month since he came to this mansion, he observed coldly, the servants here have meat for every meal, the padded jackets are thick and brand new, there are carriages for every entry and exit, everyone has a smile on their faces no matter what they do, and they will never be lazy Slippery.Obviously they lived a very contented life, and the mistress must be very generous and benevolent.

The woman had never met them in person due to her identity, but, out of curiosity, he had seen her practice flying needles all night long from a distance, and he couldn't help admiring her fortitude and hard work.

Such a woman is probably a place where their brothers can be loyal, and they can retire to the countryside with peace of mind...

Ah Da and the others entered the mansion a year earlier, and they are used to the banquet of eight dishes and one soup, but it is the first time for Mu Qi and the others to be treated so favorably. Bowl was at a loss.

Shuan Shuan went back to the west courtyard at noon. After all, it was her real home, and there were spirit tablets of her mother and grandfather to worship, so she still had to go back during the Chinese New Year.

Mu Ai took Simba into the table, looked at the steaming delicious food on the table and the smiles on everyone's faces, and suddenly felt a sense of belonging in her heart. When I was young, I never thought that one day I would be the support of so many people's survival and the source of so many people's happiness and satisfaction.

She smiled slowly, picked up the wine glass at hand, gave a few words of encouragement as usual, toasted a glass of wine, watched everyone drink it excitedly, then raised her hand and gave Simba a chopsticks of fish. Then he began to eat with his chopsticks, and after sitting for a while, Mu Ai led Simba back to the inner courtyard amidst the greetings of everyone.

As early as the autumn equinox, on the table under the window, several favorite dishes of the mother and son were prepared, as well as two plates of dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and pork.

Mu Ai smiled and asked her to go to the big kitchen to have fun with everyone, and took Simba to eat slowly.Simba was still a child, he was lively by nature, his little mouth was pouted, and he didn't understand why his mother brought him back.

Mu Ai patted his head, but didn't explain, these masters and servants are inferior, it's not something a four or five-year-old child can understand, and she also can't understand some explanations, she can only wait for him to grow up, and he will naturally understand.Slowly pick up some favorite food for him, and tell some allusions about the Chinese New Year, and soon make the fat boy happy.When the spring equinox came back from dinner, Simba had already leaned on Dabai and built a castle with building blocks.

Sending Xiao An back to watch the new year with his parents, Mu Ai took the vernal equinox to continue copying books, and when Simba was tired from playing, he took Dabai Erbai into the space and asked Xia Zhi to wash him, and then told everyone to go to sleep.

Mu Ai stood in front of the door quietly looking up at the endless black night sky, listening to the sound of branches from a distance from time to time, suddenly wanted to drink a glass of red wine.

When she didn't travel to this time and space, every time she climbed to the top of the mountain, or found a beautiful scenery, she couldn't help but sit down and drink a glass of red wine.Tasting the aroma of wine also tastes the beauty of nature and loneliness.

Walking slowly for 500 meters, he arrived at an open space where he had been practicing for the past few days. As expected, Ouyang leaned silently under the big tree with a long knife in his arms, just like in the past.Mu Ai walked over and said with a smile, "Today's New Year's Eve, can Master Ouyang allow the little girl to take a night off?"

Her rare joking tone caused Ouyang to raise his eyebrows, he looked at her carefully, and then nodded slightly to express his agreement.

Mu Ai expanded the aura shield around her body, and took Ouyang in.I dug out the linoleum from the space and spread it under the tree, with a layer of air cushion on top to keep it cool. Then I took a slightly larger hard plastic cutting board and used it as a tray. Put two goblets and a bottle of red wine on it. and a few fruits, and finally motioned Ouyang to sit down.

Ouyang seemed to hesitate, but in the end he followed her arrangement and helped unplug the cork from the top of the strange-looking thing. Watching her fill the two cups half full with a smile on her face, the air gradually Full of a special bouquet.Although following her for more than a year, he saw a lot of strange things, but for the first time, such a thin cup, which was almost colorless, and such a bright red blood-like wine made him curious.He didn't refuse the wine glass that Muai plugged in, and looked carefully at the light reflected from the snow outside.

Muai smiled and taught him how to taste wine, how to hold a glass, shake it, sniff it, taste it, pause for a while, wait for the wine to soak through the taste buds on the house, and then swallow it slowly.

Ouyang held the wine glass stiffly, as if he was afraid that such a thin glass would be crushed if he exerted too much force.Slowly follow her instructions, do it step by step, and finally give a rare slight nod of approval.

Mu Ai was immediately happy like a child, as if she had found a partner to play games with, raised her hand, touched his cup with a "ding", "Ouyang, Happy New Year!" Then, without waiting for his reaction, she raised her head The neck was the first to drink up the wine in the glass.

Ouyang was stunned by this sentence, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Mu Ai licked the wine stains on her lips, and breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, but she talked more, as if she had returned to the days when she met friends who met by chance and looked at Ouyang with a smile. , Said, "Well, this wine is delicious. After the new year, I will start to study how to brew this kind of wine. However, I am afraid that it is not as good as this bottle. This is a photo I took of a pilgrimage in Tibet that year , I won an award at a photography exhibition, and a Frenchman specially sent me this bottle of wine to the magazine, saying that my photos moved him. What a lovely foreigner.”
