Datang Live Room

"Turn on the stove!"

Yan Xiaoer shouted excitedly, and then rushed into the restaurant with Sanya and Li Wanshun.

Today is the day to turn on the stove.

Yan Kai and his family came over early to prepare.

Opening the stove was as important a ceremony as raising the beam in ancient times.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it can even be ranked No. 1.

Because eating has always been the most important thing in ancient China.

Miaoying sent an invitation to the Kitchen God, and then invited Yan Kai and others to worship the Kitchen God.

After the worship, Yan Kai lit the incense candles, placed the tributes, and worshiped again.

Next, paper is burned in each stove, which represents offering money and materials to the gods.

Seeing the smoke rising, Mrs. Yan said excitedly: "The Kitchen God has received our offering."

After doing all this, it means that the Kitchen God agrees to their use of these stoves.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also watching, and some people asked strangely: "Isn't it the Kitchen God? Why is the statue of the Kitchen God worshiped in the anchor room a woman?"

Yan Kai walked to the corner and said: "Actually, the Kitchen God only had a name after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. According to the Stove Book cited in Du Taiqing's "Jade Candle Book" of the Sui Dynasty, the Kitchen God's surname was Su, his given name was Ji Li, and his wife's name was Bo Jie."

These were actually what Zheng Zhixun and Miao Ying told him.

I can only say that the ancients were really good at reading, and they could almost remember the source clearly.

Of course Yan Kai thinks this has something to do with the fact that they have relatively few books.

But this did make Yan Kai show off in the live broadcast room.

"The anchor is quite knowledgeable!"

"Yes, otherwise, I would have always thought that the Kitchen God has always been a male since ancient times."

"It's normal. I heard that Guanyin in ancient times was also a male, and then she gradually became a female."

At this time, Li Dazui shouted: "Set the pot!"

Then several cooks placed the large pot they had prepared on the stove.

As the flames in the stove ignited, everyone laughed happily.

The stove is completed and we are waiting for the auspicious day to open.

Miaoying has already calculated that six days will be the best time to open the business.

"Okay, let's make pig meat today!" Yan Kai shouted, and everyone got busy.

Those wild boars were indeed in good health. After being brought back and spent in the yard for more than a day, they began to chirp.

Yan Kai let them live for another day, and then slaughtered them all after making sure that each wild boar was in high spirits and free of the poison of the drunken fairy peach.

"Sauerkraut, put more sauerkraut!" Li Dazui directed his younger brother in the kitchen: "This wild boar has a strong fishy smell. You need to add more sauerkraut to suppress the smell to make it delicious!"

"And those who are making soup here, don't forget to add pepper!"

"Wow, the anchor made a big move today!"

"It's not that bad, this butchered pig dish is quite good!"

"This can at least be eaten by a hundred people! My mouth is watering just looking at it."

Some netizens can tell that they are from the Northeast just by typing.

There were even several netizens from Northeast China who started discussing the difference between their pork-killing vegetables and those here in Yankai.

These wild boars are prepared in advance and look just like ordinary pork.

Yan Kai didn't dare to play with the wild boar live. Although that thing was no longer a rare animal, it was still not something that could be eaten casually.

After Li Dazui gave instructions one by one, he said to Yan Kai: "Mr. Yan, using such spices in this meal is not cheap."

"It's okay!" Yan Kai patted Li Dazui: "As long as everyone is happy."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Yan, I guarantee that today's dish will be prepared for you. Just leave it to our brothers. You can go outside."

Li Dazui patted his chest and said.

Before the restaurant even opened, everyone’s families and children came over one after another.

And Yan Kai kept his promise and taught these children literacy and arithmetic.

Within a few days, each child learned to write the names of their respective family members.

That day, Li Dazui saw his eldest and second son come back and write the character "Li" crookedly in the mud. The almost 30-year-old man burst into tears.

After crying, he took a two-meter-long stick and told his two sons that if anyone did not learn from Mr. Yan, he would be beaten to death with this stick.

Li Dazui's daughter-in-law, who usually loved his two sons the most, would get angry with him even if she scolded him. At this time, he nodded and said that he would play doubles with Li Dazui.

So now, let alone helping Yan Kai's family cook, he would not hesitate even if Yan Kai asked him to go up the mountain with a stick and fight a wild boar.

Of course, the largest group of wild boars in the nearby mountains had been divided into pieces by them.

Yan Kai saw that he really couldn't get involved in the kitchen, so he walked out.

"Mom, Sister Axiu, what are you busy with?"

"Isn't this the sausage stuffing you taught me!" Mrs. Yan stepped aside halfway, and Yan Kai saw the two of them stuffing sausages into a bamboo tube.

The earliest records of sausages in China date from the Northern Dynasties, but only in a small area south of the Yangtze River.

Sister Yan and the others couldn't even eat meat in the past, so naturally they couldn't know how to make it.

I heard from Yan Kai that after washing the pig intestines, the scraps of pork would be used to make sausages from the bamboo tube.

It’s just right to eat during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Kai eats sausages every Chinese New Year. If he didn't eat sausages, he wouldn't feel the same, so he told Aunt Yan and the others.

"I'm here to help too!" Yan Kai said with a smile. As long as the meat is prepared in advance, it won't be a troublesome thing to make.

Compare it with your hands. If it is slightly longer than a card, tie it with a rope.

Yan Laoer took Zhou Tong and others to make bacon on the side.

Although the weather is getting colder, it is easier to preserve and taste better if you handle it.

At this time Yan Xiaoer ran in: "Brother, all the villagers from the nearby village are here!"

Sister-in-law Yan pushed him: "Go and receive him."

Now Yan Kai is the head of the family. Although he is young, he has to ask questions about all the big and small things in the family.

Yan Kai could only wipe his hands and walked out.

"Mr. Yan!" There were a few limping people among the people who came over, all of whom had received treatment here a few days ago.

Everyone was carrying something in their hands, and the leader Muramasa said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Yan, you and several doctors treated me a few days ago, and I also helped you clean up the animals that came to the village to cause trouble. Everyone also I have nothing to repay you, I can only bring you some things from my own family, I hope you won’t dislike it.”

After saying that, everyone began to put things in front of each other, including eggs that looked like they were raised at home, and eggs from birds who didn’t know where.

Some are one fish, some are two handfuls of vegetables.

Only the little girl who had been kowtowing to Zhen Quan to save her father that day didn't take anything. She walked up to Yan Kai and said sincerely: "I... don't have anything. Can you let me work for your family from now on? Don't look at me. Xiao, I can do many jobs, and I wash all the clothes in my house.”

Yan Kai inquired that day and found out that the child must be malnourished. In fact, he was much older than Sanya, already over five years old, but he still looked as thin as three or four years old.

Yan Kai touched her head: "Okay, do one thing for me."

"Yeah." The little girl nodded.

"Take good care of your father and live well. Good times are coming soon."
