The winter solstice is just around the corner.

In the early morning of this day, Xia Yi got up.

He went out to buy a few Jin of meat before eating.

Xia Yi thinks that the temperature of this era should be lower than that of his life.

It's just the winter solstice. It's cold before counting nine.

Especially today, it seems to be much colder than yesterday, and the weather seems to cool down all of a sudden.

Get up early in the morning, talk early, you can see the white fog.

The hands holding the meat were stiff with cold.

Xia Yi shrunk her hand to the sleeve, thinking whether it's time to make some gloves.

Xia Yang and Xia Yue write on weekdays, so their hands are inevitably exposed.

On such a cold day, it's no wonder that last year's brothers and sisters' hands were rotten.

Especially Xia Yi, who has been working for many years, couldn't bear to look directly at her hands last year. Her hands were full of frostbite and her fingers were swollen like radishes.

Although this year is good, Xia Yi has to make plans early, so as not to be the same as last year.

It's just that the cloth shop hasn't opened yet, and I'll follow old lady Chu into the palace later. I'm afraid I don't have much time to make gloves.

Fortunately, these are all small things. It's not a waste of time. It's too late to do it tomorrow.

Thinking about this, Xia Yi is already at home.

She pushed open the gate and saw two people standing behind it.

Fortunately, her strength is not so great, otherwise, I'm afraid it just happened to be on two people's faces.

Xia Yang and Huo Jie are standing behind the gate.

Xu is cold, two people's faces are red, face also with the same grievance.

Xia Yi asked, "what are you doing standing here?"

Huo Jie sniffed. "I'm going out to look for you."

Then she rubbed her hands on her face and said, "I thought you were going out. We were going to be hungry."

Xia Yi raised the meat in her hand and said, "I'm going out to buy meat. We'll eat dumplings at the winter solstice."

Huo Jie and Xia Yang looked at each other and said happily, "great."

"Do you two want any help?"

Xia Yi strides into the gate and closes the gate well.

"Yes!" Two people coincidentally answer a way.

"Let's go." Xia Yi is ahead, while Xia Yang and Huo Jie are behind.

In the kitchen, Xia Yi first made a fire.

After closing the kitchen door, it's much warmer in the kitchen.

Huo Jie is given the job of chopping stuffing, while Xia Yi plans to prepare some porridge to feed them.

Huo Jie practices martial arts a lot on weekdays, so it's no problem.

She has a knife in one hand. She is very powerful.

After a while, the meat changed from foam to minced meat.

This is the first time Huo Jie is so handy in the kitchen.

She couldn't help showing off, "sister Xia Yi, I think the work of stuffing is specially prepared for me. Look..."

Xia Yi laughs, "I'll make dumplings after that. I'll call you to help me first."

"Of course." Huo Jie responded immediately.

Xia Yi said: "I'm afraid your parents won't let you out."

Huo Jie sighed heavily, "elder sister Xia Yi, how can you speak like brother Mu and poke people's hearts?"

Xia Yi couldn't help but smile more, "expound the facts."

"By the way, how did your parents let you out today?"

Xia Yi hasn't seen huojie for a long time.

Huo Jie replied: "today they go out, I said to them, today I will not go back, I take advantage of this day, to eat back the food that I didn't eat a few days ago."

"Sister Xia Yi, besides dumplings, I want to eat mutton hot pot at noon. Is that ok?" Huo Jie's bright eyes are full of expectation.

Xia Yi thought about it and said, "I'll fry you some dishes you like later. As for mutton hot pot, I'm afraid it won't be eaten at noon."

"Why?" Huo Jie was a little dejected, and the momentum of chopping dumpling stuffing disappeared.

"I promised grandma Chu to go to the palace with her for the winter solstice..." Xia Yi replied.

"Ah... Ok..." Huo Jie said helplessly.

She didn't expect that.

Today, the emperor's winter solstice banquet is a banquet for all officials, and even the eldest son of many officials is not qualified to join in the fun.

But since it's Mrs. Chu who brought it, it's another matter.

Xia Yi comforted: "well, if you can't eat this time, you will have plenty of opportunities to eat next time."

Huo Jiedu nodded with his mouth, but he still complained in his voice, "well, how come this time the old lady is going to take you? Maybe the emperor is greedy for your meal and asked you to go into the palace to help prepare the winter solstice banquet."

Xia Yi is noncommittal.

On weekdays, Xia Yi goes to the palace to cook for the emperor. A few days in advance, Duke Dou comes to inform Xia Yi and asks Xia Yi to call out the time that day.

On the day of entering the palace, Mr. Dou specially drove a carriage to pick him up.

Today is the day of winter solstice. Xia Yi still hasn't seen Dou Gonggong.

Maybe it's just that old lady Chu wanted to find someone to accompany her to the palace

With the help of Huo Jie and Xia Yang, although making dumplings is not much faster than Xia Yi's, the whole process of making dumplings is joyful.

Both of them are making dumplings for the first time. They are both ugly.

But two people still have to compare each other.

As a referee, Xia Yi can only regard it as not seeing the strange shape of their dumplings, and even some dumplings are missing the filling in advance.

"The shape of Yangyang's dumplings is so innovative that it can be recognized at a glance even after it is cooked."

"Huo Jie, you're not bad. The dumplings are so thin."

Huo Jie and Xia Yang after receiving Xia Yi's praise, the package is more hard, also package more serious.

After a few dumplings, Huo Jie and Xia Yang's faces were covered with a lot of flour, just like little cat.

But the dumplings made by two people have not made any progress. One is more and more strange in shape, some are flat and flat, and the stuffing is too full to get there.

Two people also don't think so, on the contrary, they regard their dumplings as treasures, shouting that they will eat those dumplings at noon.

Xia Yi naturally left the dumplings they made on the chopping board.

Of course, those who didn't pack it, Xia Yi returned to her hands for the second time, so she didn't have to cook them all.

The rest is in Xia Yi's lunch box, which she plans to take to old lady Chu.

Xia Yi has cooked many dishes for old lady Chu, but she has never made dumplings.

"These are for you and your master. Huo Jie, you will eat the dumplings then." Xia Yi exhorts.

"Well, it's on me." Huo Jie patted his chest.

Xia Yi is still a little uneasy, "do you know how to do it?"

Huo Jie raised an eyebrow, "haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? It's just boiling water first and then cooking it! "

Huo Jie did the job of boiling water, but he didn't worry about it. But Huo Jie didn't touch the job of making dumplings.

Xia Yi or seriously steps to huojie said again, "after boiling water and then under the dumplings, boiling in the middle, and then point cold water, point three dumplings cooked."

"Good, good." Huo Jie nodded. I don't know if I really remember it.

"Master has come to listen to him, but I come back to check my lessons." Xia Yi says to Xia Yang again.

Xia Yang reluctantly nodded.

When everything was ready, a knock was heard at the gate.

Open the door, then see the master, behind the master stopped Chu house carriage, this is to meet her into the palace.
