Chapter 36 Family New Year

Chinese people have a deep love for the New Year, because there is only one day of the year and you don’t have to work. [Every household has prepared the best food to welcome the new year.

Yun Xiao thought that foreigners jumped and jumped in the New Year, just making some unreal fancy things. Or we Chinese are real, so we only eat the New Year in just one word.

From dumplings to Lantern Festival to food from all over the country, Chinese people use various ingredients to interpret the food culture with Chinese characteristics.

The Yun family lives in a villa in Jimo Hou Mansion, and Liu Cheng is very good at enjoying it. This villa is located at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, with beautiful mountains and rivers. It actually allows this fat guy to occupy it. Yun Xiao decided to beat the rich man. In the future, the Yun family will live here when they come to Jimo again.

Miss Yun Er and Master Yun were lying on the kang, with snot flowing in their noses and saliva flowing in their mouths, oh, oh, walking and crawling. From time to time, they grabbed things they were interested in to try, from the toy wooden balls to the white and tender palms of my father.

"Ouch." Yun Xiao, who was teasing Yan Xian, suddenly felt a pain in his fingers. He pulled his hand back and saw that Young Master Yun was really grinning with saliva. Two dimples were left on his round face, revealing two small teeth like white rabbits. Yun Xiao looked at his fingers and was bitten out of two rows of fine small tooth marks.

Xiao Yunai was biting her fingers attentively, very despised by her father's stingy behavior. Seeing her younger brother looking at him, she took the finger out of her mouth generously and handed it to her younger brother who was eager.

Ellis quickly took back the silly daughter's hand, but the child's mouth was not heavy. The pink little fingers were not bitten.

Yun Xiao grinned and watched his children playing with their kangs. The maids set up a large table in the middle of the house with a panel rolling pin and a large pot of mixed dumpling filling.

"I haven't been home for the Chinese New Year. If I want to see the snow scene, I have to run outside. After standing for a while, my feet are numb from cold."

Yan Xian was very dissatisfied with looking at the bamboo slips through the candlelight. At Yun’s house, she could lie in front of the large glass bed. The sunshine in winter was like a waterfall. The cold wind was blocked by double-glazed windows outside. The sunshine in the room made people feel warm and the warmth in the heart.

The goddess was obviously still at the stage of foodie, and her ability to move her mouth is higher than that of doing it. After pinching two things that looked like buns and dumplings, Yun Xiao decided to let her lie on the recliner and look at the bamboo slips. This was not helping, it was simply causing trouble.

Yan Xian twisted her butt and sat back on the recliner. She snorted gently from her nose. Continue to look at her bamboo slips. This woman is not good. No wonder Confucius said that a woman has no talent and is virtuous. A young literary woman who is not touched with her fingers will not do housework. Yun Xiao remembered his wife in later generations.

Fortunately, Elis is a capable person. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and dumplings are more beautiful than Yun Xiao. It fully demonstrates the meaning of cleverness.

Unfortunately, there is no TV or Spring Festival Gala now. Otherwise, the whole family would watch the Spring Festival Gala around the table and make dumplings while talking and laughing. If there is a phone call, it would be best to call the left-behind Nangong.

It’s not like now. The family silently made dumplings without even making any noise. The maids were like quails, and none of them dared to show their youthful and lively.

Suddenly I felt someone pulling his robe, and looked down and saw that it was his eldest daughter.

"Dad, Yunmi wants to set off firecrackers." Xiao Yunmi was not in the mood to play with her younger brother and sister. She held the windmill made by Yun Xiao in one hand. She raised her smile and looked at Yun Xiao with a longing look on her face.

It's bad, the eldest daughter is developing in the direction of tomboys. Whose girl loves to set firecrackers? Shouldn't the little girl hide far away when setting firecrackers and scream in her mouth?

"Dad, Yunmi is going to set off firecrackers." Seeing Yun Xiao stunned, Xiao Yunmi hurriedly pulled Yun Xiao's robe again. Her big eyes looked at Yun Xiao with watery eyes. The arhat cast by copper and iron could be melted by this sad little look. Alas, she seems to be a disaster for the country and the people when she grows up.

"Girls can't play firecrackers at home, they have to learn to make dumplings." Yun Xiao decided to lead his eldest daughter to the right path. The lady must go out of the hall and enter the kitchen. If she goes out of the hall, she seems to need to teach the goddess. If she goes into the kitchen, she may have to rely on her father. This matter must start from the baby and cannot be delayed.

"Yun Mi wants to set off firecrackers, but she doesn't learn to make dumplings." The eldest daughter stuffed a finger into her mouth and began to act cute at Yun Xiao. Seeing that Yun Xiao was still the same, her round little body climbed onto the stool with difficulty. She hugged Yun Xiao's face and printed her wet lips on Yun Xiao's cheeks.

Well, the daughter's invincible act of coquettishness is really invincible. Yun Xiao had no choice but to rub off the flour in his hand and take out a firecracker from the cabinet. He ordered the maid to find the iron guard to lead him, but he didn't dare to let the girl let her go and let her go. It was not a joke.

The little girl ran out happily, and soon there was a crackling sound of firecrackers coming from outside.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers, Yun Xiao felt that there was a little flavor of the New Year. In the next generation, if there was no sound of firecrackers, there would be no more flavor of the New Year.

I made a big basket of dumplings, but it was still the steamed dumplings that Yun Xiao liked to eat. The noodles from Shandong and Guanzhong were very powerful, and they tasted much better than the dumpling noodles from later generations.

I don’t know if the iron guard couldn’t resist the eldest lady’s begging and took firecrackers again. Anyway, the crackling sounds outside never stopped. Fortunately, the Jimo Hou’s villa was lonely at the foot of Laoshan Mountain. There were no houses nearby, otherwise it would have caused a sensation. Firecrackers are quite novel to the people of the Han Dynasty, and the people here are not as common as the Yunjiazhuang households.

The ground in Shandong is evil, everything is big. Onions can grow more than one meter high, and garlic is also very big. Its characteristics are white skin, with a large head and a clove, thin skin as thin as paper, pure and as spicy as jade, and a fragrant fragrance. This kind of garlic, which is said to be produced in Cangshan, is very popular among goshawks, and it is not said that it was cultivated by his ancestors. He even had to go back to search for theoretical support.

Yun Xiao was embarrassed to say, you all have blue eyes. At most, you can count as a hybrid variety, and you can help the ancestors put gold on their faces.

The garlic cloves cannot be slapped with a kitchen knife, so they have to be chopped directly with a knife. The cut should be broken, but the Cangshan garlic is indeed good. The kitchen knife is chopped and cracked. Ellis's knife skills are pretty good, and he is mainly patient. He knows that Yun Xiao likes to eat chopped garlic, so he chopped a bowl of garlic paste the size of millet grains.

This thing tastes perfect for dipping it with soy sauce.

Pour a bowl of steamed wine from Yun's family, and the more you drink the dumplings, the more you drink it. As soon as you see the dumplings served, the goddess stood up from the lounge chair. She lazily made it in front of the table, and waved her hand and brought the wine. Her every move shows her style. No wonder she is said to be a good thing. You let Elis, who is full of garlic and apron, play with this style, but she can't play it no matter what.

The eldest daughter came back after setting off the firecrackers, and her little face turned red. The little nose was squirting, and Ellis quickly pulled out a cloth towel to blow her nose.

"This kid, look at it's cold. Let the eagle go into the mountain to hit a few foxes tomorrow, and make us a fox-skinned hat and scarf for our little Yunmi." Ellis covered Yunmi's red face with both hands and looked back at Yun Xiao.

"Okay, okay." Yun Xiao took a sip of steamed wine, picked up a dumpling in his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing it.

The fox skin must be prepared and shot in through the eyes, so that the fox skin has no eyes. The thin hair is really done with the hawks, and the sea in the middle of winter will not be able to go down. Since there is no chance to harm the fish swimming in the water, Yun Xiao decided to go up the mountain to find trouble for the beast. Take Gong Along's two giant dogs, let alone rabbits, even tigers can be driven out.

Forget it, Xiaobai, this guy is still angry with him. He has been neglecting himself for a long time. Should he go and send some dumplings to this guy to ease the tension?

The New Year’s Eve dinner has no taste, no longer the cups and cups, no longer being criticized every year, but the Spring Festival Gala is indispensable every year. I always feel that something is missing. Fortunately, I have two wives and a daughter by my side. The warmth of the family makes Yun Xiao’s melancholy feel much more calm.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Xiao walked into the yard with a cloak. It was as dark as a ball of dark ink, and the lights were lit everywhere in the yard. The guards shouted in the yard, and the sound of the rock-scissors was heard far away.
