On New Year's Eve, every household will post Spring Festival couplets to worship their ancestors.

However, this has nothing to do with the three masters and disciples of Wangyue. They and the servants got up and started to work hard in Yinshi.

Many dishes can be cooked with broth, and the oil from the whole table and the banquet has to be refined by yourself.

A Yao wished she had three heads and six arms, and handled all the ingredients well. She clearly listed all the important and elegant things in her mind, but the reality was different from her imagination.

Wangyue looked around and saw his apprentice's hands trembling, and he was extremely slow in doing things: "Don't panic, do things in an orderly manner. First make the dishes, and then help prepare the whole dishes. After noon, it will be much easier at night."

A Yao's head was like a chicken pecking at rice. When she started cooking, she thought that the old lady's New Year's Eve dinner was so lively.

The hills made of dried cakes and fruits are decorated with fish playing in lotus fields cut with red paper, and the forests of pine, cranes, chrysanthemums and quails. These are the "looking dishes" on the table. They only look at them but don't eat them, but are indispensable.

In the front hall, there were endless people visiting. The families between the alleys and the walls sent servants to send New Year plates, mutton, green fish, and fruits. After ordering, they were piled up in boxes and placed in the side hall. The maid was busy giving rewards based on the relatives of each family.

In the inner room, the old lady watched her adopted son Meng Qianxiu who was rushing back to arrange ten thousand years of food for her in the inner room.

The bamboo radish is filled with white rice that is quickly washed, and all kinds of fruit ingot cakes are placed, red oranges, black lily, and water chestnuts are placed. The plum vase is inserted with pine and cypress branches, copper coins are hung on it, and the fruits are also booked. The picture of the cold-relieving picture is hung on the wall, which is like the white rice ingot cake that needs to be left for the New Year steamed food, and the meaning of surplus grain is collected.

"Entertainment Mother, if you don't go out to preside over the meeting, Xiaosui is probably going to cry." Xiaosui is the maid who usually takes care of Mrs. Meng. Meng Qianxiu supported Mrs. Meng and moved to the front hall.

"There is such an exaggeration. I, an old woman, have no one to come to see me. Each family just sends people to send me a New Year gift plate. What a big deal. Every year, the girl will do it." Old Mrs. Meng raised her hand, stopped this topic, held Meng Qianxiu's hand and asked about his recent situation: "Good one, you have lost a lot of weight this year. It's better not to get tired of your health. This time, I plan to stay in the town for a few days and leave after the New Year?"

"My adoptive mother, I'm worried that I won't leave anymore and stay in Jiangliu County. This year, I found a job in the western region and moved to Jiangliu County with my home. It happened that it was right next to you and I could have frequent contacts in the future. Are you happy?" Meng Qianxiu pointed to the high-walled courtyard opposite Mrs. Meng.

That was the original Lu family.

Lu Yuanwai's fame was deprived of, Lu Yuanwai helped the evildoer to abuse and helped his son to harm the children. Lu Yuanwai and his son were killed in the autumn, and the female family was mismatched and his family property was confiscated. Lu's house was empty, and the fence-bearing grass grew a few inches, and he welcomed a new master at the end of the year.

The Lu family had a murder case, and the backyard was buried in a thick and dense way. I don’t know how much resentment has accumulated. Many people want to start but have some concerns about this matter.

Old Mrs. Meng was surprised.

Meng Qianxiu smiled and explained to her clearly that the master also knew that the Lu family had a murder case before. Because they had a large family and were used to living in a big house, they could not live in any smaller house. They were not afraid of being slanted, so they bought the Lu family and renovated it.

"The house is now cleaned today. I want to bring the girl here to chat with you. Do you think you can do it?"

"Okay, I want to see her too. What kind of girl will make my literary talent willing to be Mr. Xixiu willingly." Mrs. Meng smiled and did not refuse Meng Qianxiu's request. She pondered for a moment: "The clan members arrived at about noon and left after dinner. You help me deal with it in the garden. When you are old, although you like to watch the fun, you can't stand it among so many people."

As Mrs. Meng expected, her tribe members were transporting the next year's gift at the meal time, and everyone's stomachs were bulging and thunderous, asking for food to be left, and Xiao Sui led the people to the garden to take their seats.

The garden was built with sheds, and at least five or six sheds were hung with gauze tents, and a charcoal stove was placed inside to burn red charcoal fires. Mrs. Meng's tribe members entered in a row, and in an instant, they were filled.

Before Xiaosui left, these people began to talk.

"I heard that the old lady invited the chef Wangyue this year. She is very valuable and the old lady is so generous!"

"It's more expensive than Sun of Fanlou, Beijing?"

"Who is Sun? Even the prince has to make an appointment several months in advance before meeting him. She is just a cook. She comes and goes when she calls him and leaves when she calls him. How can she compare with Sun? "The line is very much that everyone admires Sun and looks down on him.

"You can't say that. You can reward 10,000 yuan for a big banquet and twenty pieces of silk. This is her value. If you can pay this ten thousand yuan, Wangyue might listen to your order."

"Oh my God, is the old lady crazy? The money is not left to my descendants, but it is cheaper to outsiders. If I were to do this, I would never do this."

Humph, outsiders don’t leave this money to you, a group of ungrateful wolves!

Xiaosui cursed in her heart with a dark face and quickly walked back to the flower hall.

The old lady was talking to the girl brought by Meng Qianxiu.

"Xue Nianzhi, what a good name. Is Xue the Xue family in Hedong?" the old lady asked while pronounced her name.

Xue Nianzhi lowered his head and smiled.

The little girl was carved with jade, spoke softly and with a moderate manner. When the old lady saw her reaction, she thought about their behavior of buying the house opposite. She thought that she could not be wrong. She liked it more and more. She held her hand intimately and refused to let go. She gave her a gift of jade bracelet. Yu Guang saw Xiaosui coming back and asked her to call for food in the kitchen.

Xiaoshui glanced at Xue Nianzhihao's wrists were wearing jade bracelets like the rippling green waves of spring. The water head was very good. The old lady was used to wearing them. The jade bracelets were kept for years and were even more smooth and smooth. The old lady was reluctant to give them to Meng Qianxiu, but she gave the bracelets to the little girl, which shows that she pleased the old lady so much.

The kitchen was as nervous as the last sprint. The kitchen was watching the moon and the wind were still moving, stirring it constantly. The oil and temperature in the pan locked the gravy tightly in the meat. Finally, the spoon was picked up and covered it on the plate. A Yao took it over quickly and made the final decorative arrangement. The maid brought the dishes out.

Everyone was busy.

Fruits such as frozen pears, frozen grapes, dried fruits such as pine nuts and longans, golden fragrant medicines such as atractylodes such as atractylodes, carved oranges, green plums, lotus and other carved honey fried, fragrant green fish, fried shrimps with ginkgo fruits, braised East Goat, washing crabs, ingots and sunny meat, duck tongue sticks, mixed-colored fried flower buns, radish and chicken soup, and it came up like running water, and the tabletop was soon covered.

When the tribe members of the garden saw that their elders had used their chopsticks, they started to eat regardless of whether the old lady in the inner room had already raised the chopsticks.

Xue Nianzhi waited for the old lady to get up the chopsticks, then she moved the chopsticks. She was stunned for a moment and chewed slowly.
