By the time the dishes are ready, it’s almost dinner time.
After Uncle Qin came over and said something, Xiao Siye led Yan Xingxuan to the banquet hall.
Originally, when a family had a meal, they could just go to the dining room, and it was quite lively around the table.
But, aren’t there still guests here?
Although he may be a prospective son-in-law, he still has to pretend to be polite.
If you go to the banquet hall to eat, you will share the meal.
There is one table for each person, and the dishes are served in small plates.
Xiao Nianzhi and the others were naturally prepared in advance. Even the cabbage was specially selected from the tenderest part of the cabbage heart, and then carefully carved into beautiful shapes one by one. After cooking, they were put into the prepared broth.
.
The moment the cabbage blooms in the soup stock, it does look very delicate and beautiful.
This is the first time Aunt Qin has seen such dishes. Although she knows that the dishes of powerful people are very delicate, she doesn't have many opportunities to see them.
Now when she saw the cabbage in boiling water, especially the moment the cabbage entered the water, the slightly yellow and tender leaves bloomed quietly, as if a small flower bloomed directly in her heart. The flower was beautiful and warm, which made Aunt Qin excited for a moment.
.
Maybe the atmosphere was too good, or maybe the broth was too fragrant, Aunt Qin couldn't control it, her eyes were red, she looked away, wiped it quietly, and then saw the steamed pagoda meat coming out of the pot.
Taking into account the sharing of meals, each piece of meat is processed into small pieces. Finally, it is cut and stacked into a pagoda shape. Naturally, it is also very small. It is placed on a small plate, layered on top of each other. The color is bright and the meat is soft and tender.
The pagodas are stacked there, and they look a little shaky when you hold them up. Just looking at them is amazing.
What’s more, it smells delicious!
The aroma of thick oily red sauce is already irresistible.
Fortunately, Xiao Nianzhi also prepared some for them.
Steamed in this pot, the small plate is for the host family, and the big bowl is naturally for them.
There are not many servants in the house, and there are also dumplings and other dishes, so there must be enough to eat.
The dishes are served one after another, and finally there are round, white and cute dumplings.
In fact, the shapes and sizes are almost the same, but there are some differences in the details because the people who pack them are different.
However, these do not affect their deliciousness.
Different fillings have different tastes.
Xiao Nianzhi likes mushroom chicken, and this one is seasoned with chicken soup, which is particularly delicious.
Through a layer of faint wheat aroma, you can vaguely smell a little bit of fresh fragrance.
After getting his things ready, Xiao Nianzhi went back to his room, changed his clothes, and then came to the banquet living room.
Yan Xingxuan had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw the person approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up to greet her.
Xiao Siye and his son have lost their sight.
But now in my own house, I am not afraid of others looking at me.
Xiao Siye thinks that young people...
Understandable.
As for Xiao Zhou and Xiao Qing...
What they consider more is that they cannot earn a good reputation in the future, not for themselves, but to protect Xiao Nianzhi.
After all, being a royal wife is not that easy.
Although His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a good person, this cannot be changed. He comes from the royal family.
The two brothers looked at each other and both felt that reality was difficult, but they were not afraid of it!
Naturally, it was not easy for Xiao Nianzhi to sit in the same place as Yan Xingxuan, so she sat down from Xiao Zhou, in front of Xiao Qing.
Xiao Siye is not restricted to men and women. As for his family, they are ranked directly down according to their age.
Don’t want to be behind?
Then who made you small?
Yan Xingxuan was sitting opposite them. Xiao Siye was the head of the family, so he looked better sitting in the main seat.
Although he also intended to give in, Yan Xingxuan didn't dare or didn't want to!
The dishes were all served, and the sound of lively firecrackers was heard outside.
It was too cold to put the dishes away, so Xiao Siye simply said a toast, and then everyone started using their chopsticks.
Xiao Nianzhi originally wanted to invite Aunt Yu to join him. After all, the other party was alone. Xiao Nianzhi even thought that if her aunt found it inconvenient, she would go over and accompany him during the New Year.
There are several brothers in the Xiao family, and everyone can warm each other up together.
However, Aunt Yu is left alone.
As a result, before Xiao Nianzhi could invite her, Aunt Yu passed by the Xiao Mansion early in the morning and gave her a New Year's gift, and then told Xiao Nianzhi that she had gone to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
Xiao Nianzhi felt relieved knowing that Aunt Yu had someone to accompany her.
As the fireworks outside became more and more intense and the sound of firecrackers became louder and louder, Xiao Nianzhi and his family’s New Year’s Eve dinner also came to an end.
During the meal, we all agreed that we would go out to watch the fireworks together and set off some by the way.
Yan Xingxuan prepared early because he originally wanted to be alone.
However, how can brothers Xiao Zhou and Xiao Qing rest assured?
Yan Xingxuan was not upset at all. At least the Xiao family and his son agreed to let him take Xiao Nianzhi out. This attitude seemed promising.
Although the attitude of the Xiao family has always been conniving, Yan Xingxuan was unsure!
Especially now that he inexplicably has another future in-law to deal with, it's impossible not to feel nervous.
However, the Xiao family's attitude now gave him hope.
We have to work harder and rush forward!
Several young people, with their maids and servants, happily rushed out.
With Yan Xingxuan and several others protecting him, Xiao Siye didn't have anything to worry about.
Besides, aren't there still guards from Chang Shan and Yan Xingxuan?
Everyone has enjoyed the delicious food, now it’s not too much to do your part to protect yourself, right?
Xiao Siye smiled and then went to the next door with the wine.
His old friend is probably a loner, but he is very stubborn. He even invited Yu Jijiu and refused to come.
What can we do?
He took the initiative to find me!
Xiao Nianzhi and the others have already arrived on the street. Today is New Year's Eve, and there are actually not many people on the street.
Most of the young people can't sit still and come out to watch the fireworks. Some of them will set off some themselves if they get interested.
More are prepared by each government, and some are prepared by the palace.
Xiao Nianzhi and the others watched the excitement for a while, then found a place and opened it directly.
Today’s fireworks are far less diverse and varied than in the modern era.
It’s pretty good if some flowers can blow up to the sky.
There are even more loud fireworks.
However, this is the lively atmosphere of the New Year. Even if the noise is loud, it is still a festive joy for everyone.
Yan Xingxuan and the others came out in a carriage to watch the excitement, and the firecrackers and fireworks were all pulled over on the carriage.
At this moment, after finding the place, Xiao Qing couldn't help but jump out of the car and called to Xiao Nianzhi: "Sister, come quickly, let's order this first!"
