Tianshi Museum

Hang new red lanterns at the gate of Tianbo, paste the cut flower paper, written blessing characters and couplets one by one, replace the statues of the gods with new ones, offer incense and candles, and most of the preparations for the New Year are completed.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

In the early morning, Xia Zha opened his eyes from meditation, and found that the weather today is very good, with sunlight slanting in from the window.

The Tuanzhuo Lingjiao in the nest turned over, with its belly facing up, and the silvery white and delicate belly scales glowed with the ups and downs of breathing.Its four claws are facing the sky, its mouth is also open, and its sleeping position is silly and cute.

The sun was shining on the little dragon's body, and it made a comfortable humming sound of "hululu" from its throat.

Xia Zha pursed his lips, stroked its body lightly, then got up and walked towards Shen Gon who had woken up.

Xia Zha said hello.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Xia Zha asked, "Why so early?"

Shen Gun gave the plastic bag in his hand: "Go out and buy something."

After speaking, he put away everything on the table, and then put the chopping board, pot, flour, minced meat, and various ingredients on the table in order, and the table was filled in a short while.

Xia Zha was curious: "This is?"

"Make dumplings, come?"

"Come on." Xia Zha rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'm already looking forward to it."

"Just look forward to it." Shen Gun said the most embarrassing words in the most arrogant tone, "This is my first time making dumplings, I hope I can eat them."

Shen Gong always eats for convenience, and only eats quick-frozen dumplings, which can be eaten after boiling in water.If it wasn't for the fact that the raw materials for refining Bigu Pill were decreasing year by year, he wouldn't even want to eat instant food, so he was a complete novice in cooking.

"Don't worry, it's my first time too." Xia Zha helped put the things on the table into categories, and said embarrassedly, "I...haven't been to the kitchen much before. This is not good, and I have to change it."

Shen Gun opened a video, put it in the middle of the table, and said, "It's good, we can study together."

"Wait a minute." Xia Zha took out a foot of cloth, used a fan like a sharp blade, and cut two aprons on the spot, then said, "You forgot this."

Dirt can only be solved with a spell or a talisman, but since dumplings are to be made in response to the New Year's scene, the atmosphere is indispensable.

Shen Gun took the apron, thought for a while, picked up the needle and thread used to refine the magic weapon, selected the silk spun by fire silkworms, and sewed a big upside-down "Fu" on the front of the apron, then helped Xia Zha put it on, and started With a harmless joke: "I call you that."

"I also call you." Xia Zha picked up another apron, hung the tie around Shen Gun's neck, took two steps back, rubbed his chin and pretended to meditate, "Happy, very festive."

In this way, the two followed the video teaching how to make dumplings, stumbled and started to learn from making noodles.

Fortunately, they are all smart and rigorous people, with good hands-on ability, and they did a decent job in a short time.By the time the reconciliation was about the same, the two of them looked very professional.

With that posture and demeanor, wearing a hat is a famous chef.

Shen Gun asked: "Do you adjust some meat and vegetarian fillings?"

Xia Zha said: "The ingredients are so complete, let's mix them up. Just make more and put them in the refrigerator. It will be convenient for you to eat when you are hungry."

"Okay, listen to you."

The two chatted while packing the stuffing.

Xia Zha recalled the past with chopsticks in his hand, and expressed his emotion about the current agricultural development: "In the past, even when the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity, not everyone could have enough to eat. At that time, the grain output was much lower than now, and the harvest was not enough. Well, it depends on God's temper. If every family can eat white flour dumplings filled with meat during the Chinese New Year, it will be a feast."

When the times are difficult, the Xia family is also very frugal in terms of food and food, which is consistent with the soldiers on the frontier.Because of his frailty, he occasionally drank plain porridge to take care of his body, and most of the time he ate brown rice.

It is even more difficult for the common people. When the harvest is bad, the whole family tightens their belts, and one meal of soup a day is too much.

At that time, Xia Zha wondered whether people's lives would be better when the wheat and rice could grow bigger.

"I didn't expect that when I woke up, all of this would come true." Xia Zha rubbed some flour on his face, and said softly, "In ancient times, people cherished the opportunity to eat dumplings, which is why they always appeared on important festivals. "

Shen Gun wiped the flour off his face with his thumb: "Do you cherish it too?"

"Of course." Xia Zha smiled, "I still cherish it now, because it was packaged with our Boss Shen."

Xia Zha's frankness always makes Shen Gun instantly at a loss.

He withdrew his hand, and said in a quicker tone to cover up his ears: "I cherish it too, I will eat more."

While adjusting the stuffing, Xiaoling Jiao's nose moved in his sleep, stretched a lot, turned over and half-opened his eyes in a daze.Because of turning over, half of its body and two front paws stretched out of the nest, dangling in the air.

Shen Gun poured oil into the seasoning, and the aroma of the seasoning instantly filled the whole room.

Lingjiao's nose twitched, and the whole dragon came out of the nest.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound resounded through the room.

Xia Zha turned her head when she heard the words, and found that Lingjiao was lying on the ground in all directions, her eyes were dizzy, obviously the fall was not light.

Before Xia Zha walked over to pick it up, it suddenly trembled, its eyes widened, and it rushed towards Xia Zha.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and Lingjiao fell into Xia Zha's arms.

If Xia Zha was an ordinary person, this blow could shatter his chest.Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person, so he can stand still in the same place every time.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!" Ling Jiao was unbelievably lively after waking up.

"We're making dumplings." Xia Zha took it down and put it on the table, "We're just making the stuffing, and we'll start making dumplings later, do you want to go together?"

Ling Jiao nodded: "Ji!"

Shen Gun: "With your claws, it's impossible to cover the stuffing."

Ling Jiao didn't believe it, so he reached out to grab the dough.

Xia Zha quickly stopped it: "Pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands first."

While Ling Jiao was running to wash his claws, Xia Zha specially took out a ball of dough as Ling Jiao's learning materials.When Ling Jiao came back, he gave it the dough and said, "This is your ingredient, let's knead the dough first."

In a blink of an eye, Ling Jiao waved his claws and fought with the dough.

An hour passed, and Lingjiao hadn't made a decent dumpling from the beginning to the end.Shen Gun and Xia Zha worked together to make more than 100 dumplings with various fillings.

They froze most of the dumplings in the refrigerator, saving the portion to eat tonight. After Shen Gun had a simple lunch, he began to study the New Year's Eve dinner with Xia Zha.

"Should the dishes be in odd numbers?" Shen Gun looked at the menu, "The hard dishes should be chicken, pig's feet, fish, shrimp, mutton, beef..."

Seeing that Shen Gon talked more and more, Xia Zha hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

"Huh?" Shen Gun was puzzled, and looked away from the phone screen, "What's the matter, is there anything else you want to eat?"

"It's too much." Xia Zha said helplessly, "If you can't finish it, you can't put it in the refrigerator."

Shen Gun didn't care: "Actually, I have a big appetite, and I won't be able to eat much."

"Really?"

"Of course, I have a special constitution and can digest as much as I eat." Shen Gun replied, "It's just that I'm too lazy to eat so much."

Xia Zha was amused.

"The New Year's Eve dinner should have the momentum of a New Year's Eve dinner." Shen Gong made a final decision, "That's all, nothing less. Vegetarian dishes should be made of organic cauliflower and eggplant..."

Both of them are people who haven't cooked much, and they can cook simple dishes. They still need to learn for this level of New Year's Eve dinner.Fortunately, the two of them have gradually become proficient, and they cooked a whole table of dishes without knowing it. The soup and dishes are complete, which is indeed very imposing.

"Do you still want to watch the Spring Festival Gala?" Xia Zha learned and used it flexibly, "I heard that in order to protect the environment, fireworks are now prohibited. Watching the Spring Festival Gala is the most festive thing."

Shen Gun picked up the remote control and turned on the TV: "The time is just right, there are still ten minutes left, enough time for me to clean up the trash and open a bottle of red wine."

"Red wine?" Xia Zha raised his eyebrows, thinking, "Or Wuliangye, Erguotou?"

Shen Gun chuckled, took out several kinds of wine and put them on the table.

Xia Zha saw it and said, "As expected of the New Year's Eve dinner, it's magnificent."

Ling Jiao jumped onto the table excitedly, chirping repeatedly.

Shen Gun tapped Lingjiao's paw with the end of the chopsticks behind his back: "Don't move around, it's not time for dinner yet."

Ling Jiao shook his head and asked, "Jiji?"

Shen Gun took three glasses and put one of them upside down on Ling Jiao's head: "That's right, we have to wait for the countdown to the party."

Although Xiao Pangjiao is still a two-hundred-year-old baby, he can still drink, but he doesn't know how much he can drink.After Shen Gun put the cup on its head, he didn't care about it anymore, and let him drink as much as he wanted. Anyway, he wouldn't die if he drank it, at most he would get drunk.

Xia Zha set the dishes and chopsticks, took the other two glasses from Shen Gong and poured wine.

Not long after, the party officially started, and Xia Zha and Shen Gun also toasted in the noisy background sound of the TV.The two of them surrounded the table full of dishes, it was the first time that the Tianshi Museum was so lively.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Zhao called, and it was still Xia Zha.

Shen Gun raised his eyebrows: "Hang up?"

Xia Zha answered the phone: "Maybe there is something urgent, otherwise he should send a message."

Sure enough, as soon as he got connected, he heard Lao Zhao's drunken voice: "Hey, hey, hiccup...is it Master Xia, how is Lao Shen today?"

"Very good." Xia Zha said, "What's the matter?"

"It's not that I have something to do, it's Qi Fengmao and the three of them! Hiccup...they got my home address from somewhere, and suddenly came to my home tonight, and insisted that I take them to find Lao Shen! You said it's a Chinese New Year... ... Hiccup... Do I have the guts to disturb our Boss Shen? Obviously... hiccup...obviously not! As soon as I refused, they didn't leave, saying they would stay at my house."

Xia Zha and Shen Gun looked at each other.

Shen Gun took the phone and said coldly: "And then?"

"Hi!" Old Zhao burped loudly, "Then I drank them down."

Shen Gun tapped the wall of the glass with his fingertips, and after a few crisp sounds, he said to the other end, "They can't do it anymore?"

The tone is sure.

"Hic! Yes! Hiccup!" Old Zhao said inconsequentially, "They said that they wanted to be happy recently, but they withered again, so they came to me, and insisted that you didn't cure them."

"The treatment is cured. But did I say that there will be no recurrence?"

"No... hiccup... no!" Dazed, Lao Zhao still remembered to ask for an answer to send these plague gods away, "What is the reason, and when will it be all right?"

"You tell them," Shen Gun said, "when they learn to respect women."

"Understood!" Lao Zhao laughed, "I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve! Happy Chinese New Year! Hiccup!"

Xia Zha said: "Let's have fun, and I wish you health and prosperity."

Hearing Xia Zha's voice, Old Zhao smiled and praised: "But Master Xia's handwriting is really nice, He... He Qiao! Hiccup! I wanted to praise it last time!"

Shen Gun said coldly: "I didn't say that, don't call."

Old Zhao rubbed his nose, and said weakly: "No... If you don't bark, don't bark, what's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone carefully.

Being single is hard.
