Chapter 183 The New Year Taste (9)
Liu Lian'an was busy with Wu's family, and Meng Shuzhi felt relieved in his grandmother's room. Even if Liu Lian'an usually did a lot of work by his side, every time he poured water for him, he felt that doing these things was too abrupt for his cousin.The cousin lives in the mansion, how can she be allowed to do the things that the servants do.At this moment, without Liu Lian'an's distraction, Meng Shuzhi studied harder in his grandmother's room. What Du Yingran said was right, when he was named on the gold list, his grandmother could also feel happy.

As the New Year approached, every family was busy, but the small and small Du Mansion in Jidi Lane was still as peaceful as before. Du Fei had no relatives in Beijing. It's also a new hobby to go to teahouses, just like my daughter said, "It's interesting to listen to these scholars read some poems and talk about political affairs."

After Du Fei went to the teahouse, he got interesting from going back and forth. He used to be an official in the court, so the political affairs he came into contact with were naturally deeper than these students who talked about military affairs on paper. The doctor in the pharmacy was actually talented, and the more he respected him, the more famous Du Fei's pharmacy became.

When Du Yingran went to the pharmacy, there were often scholars who would ask Du Fei for advice, and Du Fei would also give advice to the students.So this year's Chinese New Year, many scholars sent gifts, which surprised Du Fei. Before traveling to doctors, they were gifts from family members of patients who could not refuse during the New Year.In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

The kitchen knife made a rattling sound on the wooden chopping board, and the top-quality red and white pork belly was chopped into fine minced meat fillings. Xiao Wu watched Du Fei's movements, and he used a rolling pin to grind one by one into dumpling skins .Du Yingran scooped up a spoonful of dumpling stuffing with a spoon, placed it in the center of the dumpling wrapper, and after three or two strokes, it became a dumpling with a bulging stomach.Du Yingran's right hand has neatly placed rows of dumplings.

On New Year's Eve, a notice on how to find the house was posted on the door, and the three huddled in the kitchen to make dumplings.

The scalding hot water was boiling in the stove, and when the lid was lifted, Du Yingran felt the steam in the pot blowing towards her face, she put the dumplings in, and waited for the dumplings to be cooked before eating.After working hard all afternoon, this dumpling includes people from all over the house.

"Sit down, all of you." Du Fei said to Gladiolus Iris and the gatekeeper, "Today is Chinese New Year, so don't hold back, let's have a lively meal together."

Seeing that everyone was a bit cautious, Du Yingran first pulled Jianlan to sit down, and then Yuanwei, seeing the two maids sitting down, after Jianlan thanked the two maids, the concierge family also sat down awkwardly.

Du Yingran smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "All the year round, I have to bother your family too much. Eating dumplings on New Year's Eve seems a bit shabby, but eating some mutton dumplings in winter is enough to warm you up. We all get together to celebrate the New Year. It's serious."

Du Yingran's words were touching, Du Fei replaced the wine with tea, and everyone drank a cup, and the atmosphere in the banquet became more relaxed.

Yuanwei looked at Jianlan. Before that, Jianlan was still a thin and small sweeping maid. She followed Du Yingran. Her eyebrows and cheeks were also plump. no the same.Seeing her own appearance reflected in the tea, Yuanwei still left the mansion at ease. Not only did Du Yingran feel that she was under the fence back then, but she was also like this in the mansion. There was also a begonia, which made her almost unable to lift her head.
