Chapter 236 New Year's Day
As the New Year comes, every household in Guzhuang adds a large jar to the stove.
In the jar, there is a layer of pork belly, a layer of radish, a layer of chicken, and a layer of fish, which gives you a perfect and good sign.
Even if some families are not that wealthy, they are unwilling to settle down during this year, so they should naturally be more frugal and cautious when they are around. But for the New Year, they should be more grand. Not only do they have to sweep the dust and sacrifice to the kitchen, but the food is also abundant, and every household will do their best and will never be extravagant.
Gu Xiang also started cooking New Year's dishes in Gu Ji's kitchen early.
Her dishes this year are not as simple as those of the villagers. In addition to more than a dozen pots of "perfect Buddha jumping feet", there are also a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat alone.
The dozens of chickens were stewed thoroughly in large ingredients first, and the stewed bones were crispy but not firewood. Then slowly smoked them with firewood, making them golden in color. Black and white flowers lie on the kitchen door with their little persimmons and stared at them eagerly, and Gu Xiang had to teach it: "Although the bones of my chicken are crispy, your little persimmons have a weak stomach and cannot be eaten. If you understand, you cannot eat them!"
"puff!"
Cherry couldn't help laughing.
Gu Xiang blinked, not angry at all, and said to the big cutie in a soft voice: "Today, I will leave all the cherry meat for you, I won't give it to her anymore, be good."
Black and White Flower: "Ahhhh!"
Little Persimmon: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
cherry:"……"
Gu Xiang smiled and added some firewood into it, raised the corner of his eyes, and opened the system interface. He saw that his rigid system was actually covered with a layer of red gauze, which looked quite festive.
Not only was there a layer of red gauze, but a New Year event gift package also emerged - 'The country is like a painting'!
This set is the same series as the "poetic and painting" bought by Gu Xiang.
It’s just that ‘poetic and picturesque’ is just a recipe, while ‘the country is like a painting’ is a New Year’s event banquet.
A banquet should have songs, dances, pomp and elegant atmosphere.
Gu Xiang opened the product introduction and looked carefully. Suddenly, she felt it was quite interesting. Even if she didn't order food, she wanted to play, and she became active immediately. She called Lao Du and the others to come over to see the stove, and then she got up to write an invitation.
Although family reunion is important during the Chinese New Year, everyone has to go home to rest during the New Year Festival, but there is not so much attention when people are in the mountain village.
And Gu Xiang personally cooked New Year's dishes and solemnly wrote the invitation to invite them. I believe everyone is willing to help the elderly and the young and come out to support this venue.
‘The Paintings of the Country’ is a New Year’s Welfare Event. The whole day of the banquet includes ingredients, water and wine, artists, and all the arrangements, but only 99 delicious food spots are lower than the price of the fracture.
Even the explanation in the subsequent suffix may attract strange diners, and Gu Xiang did not regard it as a disadvantage.
What are diners?
It is her parents who are fed and clothed. No matter what she is, she welcomes them.
Gu Xiang bought a stack of beautiful gold-plated invitations, all of which were covered with brocade, double-layer gold and silver thread embroidered with the name "Gu Ji".
After getting it, Gu Xiang first admired it: "Not bad!"
More than just good.
When County Magistrate Wang received the invitation from Lao Dog who sent someone to whip it, his eyes bulged out at first sight, and he almost dared to reach out to receive it. He washed his hands several times before he received the invitation carefully and placed it carefully on his bookshelf. He decided to stop taking it when he went to Gu Ji to the banquet, and turned around to make a shelf for it, and then prepared a piece of silk cloth to cover it well to avoid dust and dirt on the satin.
It’s no wonder that Magistrate Wang is so careful. He is a person who cherishes the words. This whole invitation not only looks luxurious, but also has a long-lasting quiet fragrance. It is really a good thing.
On this day, God was not so beautiful. From the morning when he woke up, dark clouds were pressing on the top, heavy snow fell, but as soon as he entered the ground, it was muddy and difficult to walk on the mountain road.
Since the morning was not dawn at night, the stove fire in the kitchen in Gu Ji was not extinguished, and the most time-consuming "Buddha jumped his feet" went on the stove early.
Countless palace lanterns were hung in the hall of "Gu Ji" early in the morning, and colorful silks were floating on the trees in the garden and decorated with ice sculptures.
Gu Xiang couldn't help but take Qiuli and Cherry around the garden for several times. The scenery was everywhere, making people linger.
"The only problem..."
It just doesn’t match the environment in Guzhuang, which makes people feel nervous.
This is not what Gu Xiang said, but the rough mothers hired by the restaurant began to be restrained when cleaning the courtyard. They always felt that they had accidentally entered the Dragon Prince's Crystal Palace, and they felt very uneasy. Their ancestors have lived in this small mountain village for generations and the most magnificent location they have ever seen, but it was built by Liu Chuanfu and Liu Yuanwai's house.
Fortunately, the servant of Gu Xiang's family is the master who can "subdue dragons and tigers", and the mere Crystal Palace can't scare him.
These palace lanterns and ice sculptures will never be seen again after the Chinese New Year. Gu Xiang arranged all the errands in the kitchen, so he hurriedly led the little maids around him to visit the garden.
The diners even stuck in the garden early and refused to leave.
A group of literati and poets led by Wang Magistrate Wang wrote ink, and a group of people wrote no less than a hundred poems and articles in one breath.
"Uncle..."
Wang Yi, the nephew of Magistrate Wang, arrived in Shouling County from his hometown yesterday.
He was eighteen years old this year and was a scholar. He was a young talent. His family sent him to Magistrate Wang and asked him to run errands for his uncle. On the one hand, he had a long experience and was a training. On the other hand, he also asked him to help his uncle, so that he could not have his own people around him.
Before he came, County Magistrate Wang and Wang Yi's father told him in advance that life would be difficult after he was over.
In the mouth of Magistrate Wang, he was surrounded by wolves, and was thrilling step by step. The danger on the surface was nothing, but what was even more terrifying was the danger hidden under the water.
And life is hard.
There is a king of hell on his head, with a small salary and a lot of life. He has no holidays and eats braised vegetables every day.
Wang Yi heard a lot of things, and was quite scared and nervous when he set off. Because he was thinking about his uncle, he gritted his teeth and did not retreat. However, he had made up for a lot of ideas and was ready to suffer for several years.
Their Wang family is not pretentious. When his uncle was not admitted to the Jinshi and became an official in the past, his parents and elders were often hungry. Even the county magistrate Wang has become an official in the court and has no spare money at home. The elders of his hometown are still very frugal.
When Wang Yilian practiced calligraphy, he finished writing on one side of the paper, and then turned it over and wrote the other side. He would never change his pen without baldness. He would often go to the bookstore to copy a few books and earn pocket money. He was not the nerd who was not suffering from the sufferings of the world and only focused on studying.
He has confidence that he will definitely not complain about being tired, and he will definitely follow his uncle for two years to work hard to temper his body and mind.
The sunset is about to set, and the sky is not yet dark. The palace lanterns in the garden are lit together, and the crystal ice sculptures are shining brightly, as beautiful as the fairy palace.
