Mr. Minguo's kitchen

In view of the skills of the other two apprentices who could not be taught, most of the dumplings were finally made by the handicraft expert Zhenpeng. This was the first time that little Zhenpeng showed his culinary talent in front of everyone. Although he was still too young after all, Lin Weirui But he held his chin and began to think, whether he could consider taking another apprentice.Perhaps, the younger brother is a good seedling.

In the past, when Lin Weirui was not the first young master Lin, he also had an apprentice.

After the dumplings were made, Wu Mian and Feiyang Li also came to the door.A few days before the new year, Feiyang Li kept yelling that his father would not let him go home. If he wanted to go home, he had to inherit the family business.After Lin Weirui asked the owner's opinion, she let him go.

In addition to Fenglaiju's signature dishes and traditional Kanto New Year's dishes such as frozen tofu, pork stewed vermicelli, and nian nian yu, on the New Year's Eve dinner table, there are also Shenxian pots named by Ye Honghu as the main dishes.It was the first time that Lu Yuduo, who had the skills of a chef from Fenglaiju, looked at the people around him with his chopsticks, and was rarely stunned for a while.

Wu Mian and Jiang Kun next to him were familiar with the commander's cousin because the commander and Lu Liuye had some secret transactions in private on weekdays, and they had a lot of contacts, so they were familiar with him, but after so many years, they were the first New Year's Eve together.

However, they have long since gotten used to the strangeness. Ever since Mr. Lin came into existence, this practice of the Marshal's Mansion was meant to be broken.So the two greeted each other, and hurriedly followed behind Feiyang Li's ass to help serve the dishes.With that appearance, the monkey was very anxious, for fear of being late and being caught first.

Lu Yuduo looked at the people in the Marshal's Mansion with some surprise.There are two tables in the lobby. Although the close people serving on the left and right are not at the main table, they are arranged at the lower table, but this kind of blind date between master and servant is still somewhat surprising.Not only that, everyone had a different smile on their faces, talking and laughing, the formerly deserted and solemn Shuai Mansion was bustling with activity.However, just half a year ago, when he visited here, there was no such scene.

Even his cousin, who has completely changed since the death of his uncle and aunt, eight years ago to be precise, is different.At this moment, he was sitting next to that Mr. Lin, talking to him sideways, with an unconscious smile on the corner of his mouth. I don't know what he was talking about. That Mr. Lin glared at him, and his smile became more obvious .

Lu Xiaoliu suddenly felt that Brother Ye was blind.

The room is lit with warm yellow lights, and if you look up slightly, you can see the mist rising from the table.Ye Honghu, who was seated at the top, said a few words before everyone started to move.

The hot dumplings are placed in a circle, and there is a chef at home. Naturally, there are many choices of dumpling fillings. Pork and cabbage fillings and shepherd's purse and pork fillings are traditional fillings.In the ice and snow in the north, there is not a single vegetable leaf, but the wild vegetables growing underground have become a rare delicacy!The shepherd's purse root has a special fragrance, and the root is chopped and mixed with minced pork to make dumplings, not to mention how fragrant it is!It is no exaggeration to say that shepherd's purse can make people feel the breath of spring.This is the best in everyone's mind.

Lin Weirui, who was a southerner in her previous life, prefers three delicacies stuffing. There is a small secret to the processing of small sea cucumbers. They cannot be minced like the other two main ingredients - shrimp and pork. They need to be cut into very fine ginseng grains. In addition to the deliciousness of seafood and the soft texture of minced meat, the three delicacies dumplings have a slight grainy texture of sea cucumber. When you bite down, there is a creaking sound in your mouth, which is addictive.

Apart from the sound of bowls and chopsticks intertwined at the dinner table, there was a sudden reminder, Ye Honghu looked at the copper plate in his hand with a strange expression.

Wu Mian immediately answered: "Congratulations to the commander in chief, the next year will surely be full of wealth, and all wishes will come true!" The people at the bottom also congratulated one after another.With the first one to get the copper coins, there will be the second ones. In the end, Lin Weirui, Lu Yuduo and Fei Yangli all got the copper coins, more or less, and Ye Honghu got the most copper coins.Lin Weirui felt that it was simply because he ate the most dumplings that the probability was high.

But the little Zhenpeng next to him didn't know, he was so greedy and wanted to get some coins, children always like to imitate adults, in the end it was Lin Weirui who took a look at him and gave him a dumpling.With a warning, the copper coins were also paid out, but people and children were so happy, I guess they would not be so happy with the new year's money.

The dumplings he made under his guidance should have about the same weight from the dumpling wrappers to the fillings. There is a copper plate wrapped in it, and you can tell immediately when you clip it, so he always avoids these copper plate dumplings. It’s okay to eat What are the copper plates for?The only dumpling with a copper plate was put in his bowl by Brother Ye who was next to him.

Everyone toasted to celebrate the arrival of the Year of Gui Chou, the second year of the Republic of China.

On the wine is Lin Weirui's newly-brewed Tusu wine this winter. Tusu refers to herbs, and Tusu means to cut herbs to make wine. This Tusu wine is actually a kind of medicinal wine.The prescription is from "A Thousand Gold Medicinal Food Prescriptions", but it is quite different from the common folk brewing method.The youngest person should drink the Tusu wine for the Chinese New Year. Lin Zhenpeng, the little guy who was allowed to drink for the first time, immediately held on to the wine glass. Wrinkled into a ball, sticking out his tongue, everyone laughed.Grandma Hu and Fat Aunt at the other table hurriedly advised the host not to let the young master drink too much, but Lin Weirui took the glass away.It was Lin Weirui's first time brewing medicinal wine. She didn't know how it tasted, so she took a few sips and felt a little complacent. It seemed that although she hadn't learned how to brew wine, she still had a pretty good craft.

His evaluation is really modest. Tusu wine is pepper wine, very spicy, and it is different from the strong and mellow brewed by immortals. When the wine enters the throat, it will be ecstasy all the way to the heart. People immediately broke out in a hot sweat.If it is said that Immortal Brewing is drunk like a dream in Nanke Yimeng, then this Tusu Wine is yelled by a big man in Kansai with a shock of a gong, which is particularly exciting for this group of big men in the army!

After drinking three cups, everyone became drunk, and everyone started talking. Wu Mian began to babble about recalling the past in the green forest. Feiyang Li was the most supportive audience.

"...I was only 18 years old at the time, and I was still studying at Fengtian School. One day, I heard people from my classmates saying that the Dongying people had invaded the Northeast, and the newspapers were full of stories. I started packing up and going south. I was in a panic at the time, my parents were still in the north... There were many powerful people in the school at that time, but the most powerful was the commander. He led us who went north to hide from the Dongying people. Cannonfire returned home, but it was a pity that it was a step too late, all..."

Wu Mian choked up slightly, then took a sip of his wine, cleared his throat and continued as if nothing had happened, "Later we thought that this is the way things are going in the world, and the patrol envoys sent by the imperial court all ran for their lives, so we had to go on our own. Save yourself, killing a Dongying person counts as one, family enmity and national enmity are all blood feuds, and they are irreconcilable. Everyone found the commander-in-chief, and less than a hundred brothers took off their school clothes at that time, and went to be Liangshan heroes..."

"In the beginning, those who had no guns or ammunition, the brothers dug traps for ambushes, those who were engaged in chemistry could make some soil ammunition by themselves, and those who learned tactics proposed to fight guerrilla warfare. This method is good. The first batch of weapons and equipment were our spoils Not to mention that the guns of the Dongying people are really good! Occasionally, when you encounter those bandit dens that do evil things, you can use them as practice hands to suppress them. It was the general who picked Lao Kun out of the bandit dens back then."

Jiang Kun picked up his words, "Our Heifeng cottage is doing the work of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but there are too many people, and there will inevitably be differences. One of my father's men, who is fairly capable, fell in love with a girl from another family and robbed her." Go. That family has something to do with the Marshal's family, so I asked the Marshal for help. The Marshal said that my father is a man who values ​​love and righteousness and has a good reputation. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. One person single-handedly went to our hilltop... Finally, the matter was settled, I admired the commander in chief's deeds and heroism, so I resigned from my father and the commander in chief to fight the Japanese people and old men..."

Feiyang Li was drunk and courageous, and asked curiously: "Could it be that the girl is the commander's childhood sweetheart, who is married with her fingertips? Otherwise, why did your commander spare no effort to save people?"

Ye Honghu glanced at Lin Weirui, and saw that he didn't seem to hear clearly, he was holding a dumpling, and frowned because he ate a copper plate.Wu Mian glanced at the two people over there, and hurriedly rectified the commander's name, "Misunderstanding, that girl was a marriage arranged by the commander's parents when the commander was still studying in Fengtian. I don’t know, but the family didn’t want the marriage anymore when they saw that the commander-in-chief went up the mountain to become a bandit. The person who came to ask for help was to ask the commander-in-chief to help, and then the two families agreed to withdraw the marriage. The girl is now the mother of two children!"

After he finished speaking, he also took a look at his handsome man, and seeing his admiration in his eyes, he knew that his explanation was good.

Lin Zhenpeng urged Angkor to continue: "What happened next?"

"Later, we were self-reliant, worked hard, and finally drove the enemy away!"

This story obviously dissatisfied the audience who were aroused by their curiosity, and kept asking: "Tell us about the battle you fought!"

"Let me think about it, let's talk about the commander. Later, when we grew stronger, there were hundreds of people, and we were attacked by the government and the Dongying people. Don't you think it's annoying! Our own people help outsiders fight Our own people! We have few people and few weapons. Most of the brothers were folded in that time. We guarded for three days and ran out of ammunition and food. Lao Kun and I were fine. No, but fortunately they survived later.”

Lin Weirui listened and drank a few more glasses before he knew it. When Ye Honghu was toasted for a round of wine, he turned around and found that there was an extra drunk cat beside him.

He snatched the cup from the other party's hand and ordered someone to bring a bowl of hangover soup.

Lin Weirui's face was flushed with drunkenness, and she rested her hand on her delicate chin. Seeing that the cup was snatched away by someone who was not strong enough, she raised her chin, and stared at her with Danfeng's eyes, and called out: "Ye Hongyu!"

Ye Honghu supported his waist and back to prevent him from getting drunk, and responded: "Hey, I'm here, little ancestor."

Lin Weirui continued to stare at him, "Who is your ancestor, I am your uncle!"

Seeing that all the food on the table was swept away, he asked someone to clean up, and a group of drunks moved to the living room.

Ye Honghu couldn't help but look at the drunk man in front of him who insisted on "relatives" with him, coaxing him in a low voice to help him go to the house to rest.

Lin Weirui shook her head sternly and said, "No, the dean said that if you want to watch the year, you can't fall asleep first."

Ye Honghu paused for a moment, and suddenly his whole heart softened. He didn't insist on carrying him back to the house, but asked someone to move a chaise longue, so that he could lie comfortably.

The two were whispering together, and the people in the room started playing mahjong, not daring to disturb them.

"Then I will guard with you." The drunk cat ignored him.

He asked himself: "Did Xiaocao get any red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?"

The person lying on his side watching the snow didn't move for a while, and then said softly after half a day: "Yes."

"happy?"

"happy."

"What will the lucky money be used for?"

"Don't move, save it, go to school."

Ye Honghu felt a sudden pain in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at the sky, and after a while he raised his hand to touch his soft and black hair, "Well, that Xiaocao must have the best grades in the class."

The subordinate's head didn't move, and it took a long time for him to nod slightly.

Yes, he is indeed the best in the class.
