I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

The big meal didn't start until after the sun had set. Luo Shixing had almost prepared the dishes, and then he took a group of children out to start lighting lanterns.

From the courtyard gate to the gate of the warehouse next door, as well as the small lanterns under the eaves, everything was lit.

He is even very rich and powerful, and all he uses is soybean oil as lamp oil—no way, although soybean oil is not cheap, but animal oil is even more rare.

Alezhen and Wei Siwen also joined in the fun, but they didn't expect that lighting a lantern would make them exhausted.

Because Luo Shixing had hung too many lanterns, after all the lanterns were lit, the whole courtyard was only a little less bright than daytime.

Al really couldn't help but said, "How much money do you need to spend this year, and what do you do with so many lanterns?"

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "The picture is booming, and if Vulcan wakes up, he can catch the light and come over to have a look."

Al really looked at him in surprise: "Will Vulcan come?"

Luo Shixing shrugged: "Who knows, whether the old man comes or not is his business, and whether we are ready or not is our business."

Ale really thought so, so he didn't ask any more.

Cheng Jingwei on the side thought that it had something to do with Vulcan, it was because the little lynx was not good-looking enough.

Oh, in the original words of the little lynx: "We are already pitch-black in the mountains, and the red lanterns are not bright enough. If there are few lights, it will look like New Year's Eve. Isn't that like a haunted ghost?"

Like all horror movies or horror games, the most common scenes of Chinese horror are two red lanterns hanging in the dark and dilapidated scenes, and the two red lanterns are still flickering with the wind. Of course, they are also useful. of white lanterns.

However, Luo Shixing always felt that the white lanterns seemed to be inferior to the red lanterns in terms of horror atmosphere.

Probably because Li Gui wearing red clothes impressed him too much.

In order not to make their house look like a ghost house, Luo Shixing asked Cheng Jingwei to make a lot of lanterns and hang them up.

There are more lanterns, and the lights are bright. In addition, there is a big firepit in the yard, which looks much better after being lit. It is impossible to connect it with the eerie and haunted house.

Especially since their family has a large population, plus Alezhen, his three children and Wei Siwen, there are fifteen people in total, and there are more men and women than women, and they are full of masculinity.

This time, Luo Shixing didn't pretend to sit at the top, but asked Wei Siwen and A Lezhen to sit on it.

Of course the two of them were unwilling. Luo Shixing waved his hand and said, "Today we only talk about seniority, nothing else."

He was really embarrassed to let a junior sit on it.

Wei Siwen and Ale really laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and after sitting on their hands, they heard Xiao Shanshi shout angrily: "Let's go!"

The dishes were brought up one by one, and Wei Siwen and Alezhen were stunned to see them.

Not to mention Alezhen, there are many dishes on it, even Wei Siwen has never seen it!

The ones that Wei Siwen could recognize more probably were a whole fish and roast suckling pig, plus roast duck and roast chicken, etc. He had never seen many other dishes.

Maybe thinking that they might not know each other, a female slave specially stayed beside them with a smile on her face, and introduced in a soft voice: "This dish is called Sixi meatballs. Lord Luo said that four meatballs means blessing, prosperity and longevity." Happy four happy events, take auspicious meaning."

The four meatballs were placed on top of the green vegetable leaves in a golden color, and the aroma wafted to the tip of the nose with the steam. Wei Siwen stretched out his chopsticks and picked one into the bowl for a bite. He was immediately overwhelmed by the crispy and tender taste.

After eating a meatball, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "These are made of pork? It doesn't seem greasy."

Not only is it not greasy, but there seems to be something in it that tastes particularly refreshing.

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "It's not all pork, there are also some shrimp and fish, and a little bit of lotus root."

Originally, there should be horseshoes in Sixi meatballs, but they couldn't find any for sale in the county. Instead, a family happened to dig out lotus roots. He simply used lotus roots instead of horseshoes. The taste must be a little different.

But anyway, this dish hasn't appeared in this year, so he has the final say on what to put in it!

Wei Siwen nodded, looking curiously at another dish on the food table: "What is this? It looks like a shrimp tail?"

The female slave continued to explain: "Yes, Mr. Luo said that the name of this dish is Shrimp Shrimp."

Wei Siwen picked up a prawn, but he didn't recognize it just now because the prawn was covered with golden filaments, and because Luo Shixing made too many fresh things, he didn't dare to judge whether it was a shrimp. Not shrimp.

But since it's called silk-wrapped shrimp, it must be filled with shrimp meat. Wei Siwen put the golden-colored silk-wrapped shrimp into his mouth.

At the moment when the teeth bite down, the crispy shell and the delicious and tender shrimp meat bring great enjoyment to the tongue.

The prawns inside are headed and shelled and marinated, which is delicious.

Ale really didn't have that many problems, but after eating a silk-wrapped shrimp, he couldn't help being curious: "What's on the outside? It's so thin."

The female slave said: "It's very thin noodles made by noodles. Master Cheng has been busy for an hour for this."

After listening to Alezhen, he observed it carefully again, and couldn't help but praised: "Tiger's strength control is really good, and the thin strands are comparable to hair strands."

Of course, this is an exaggeration. Luo Shixing couldn't ask Cheng Jingwei, who was doing this for the first time, to stretch out the noodles to give the effect of hair strands.

But Cheng Jingwei really did the best, not much thicker than a hair, so the shell of the silk-wrapped shrimp after frying is crispy but not hard.

Although the shredded shrimp tastes good when eaten directly, Luo Shixing still served them with a bowl of sweet and sour sauce.

Originally, this thing could be dipped in tomato sauce, but now the tomato is still far away on the other side of the ocean. He had no choice but to mix a little sauce with bamboo fruit and honey. Not to mention, the taste is really good.

With the sweet and sour sauce, the oiliness of the fried food is somewhat concealed.

In addition to shredded prawns, there are ten dishes made up of honey elbow, steamed river fish, charcoal-grilled river mussels, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, spicy river crab, fruit platter and pearl emerald white jade soup, which means perfection.

I also used frying, frying, and frying all over again, and Wei Siwen was dazzled by the tricks, let alone Ale.

After explaining the varieties of vegetables, the female slave retreated and went to another yard with other slaves.

At this time, the other courtyard was also very lively. After all, it was New Year's Eve. Luo Shixing didn't want to treat these people preferentially, but he also didn't want to be harsh. Who would want to be scolded on New Year's Eve, even if they couldn't hear them!

What's more, some of the slaves here are Yi Lei's elder sister's family. This family took the initiative to join them as slaves. If they were not punished, they couldn't treat them badly.

And this family is relatives with Yi Lei and the others, even if Luo Shixing deliberately divides them into different classes, maybe they will secretly help relatives.

Judging from Yi Lei's elder sister finding her younger brother to intercede, the relationship between the two families should be pretty good.

Luo Shixing simply turned a blind eye.

So the remaining dishes after the dishes were distributed to everyone were taken away by these people to share.

Even if it's just some leftover corners and corners, and even Luo Shixing's failed works during his attempts, it is a rare delicacy for these people.

So these people sang local songs while eating.

Dozens of slaves singing together was quite a movement, and everyone in the restaurant heard it. Luo Shixing stopped his chopsticks and listened to it, a little confused: "They seem to be singing differently from the day of the Star Festival, Ah Wei, listen to it." ?”

Cheng Jing nodded slightly: "It's different."

Alezhen, who was sitting at the top, said with a smile, "Because they are blessing you."

During the Star Return Festival, everyone sings to pray for themselves, and the lyrics are of course different.

But this time the slaves were singing their blessings, hoping that they would grow up healthy and live a long life.

After hearing the explanation, Luo Shixing was rather at a loss: "They actually wished us well."

Wei Siwen took a sip of the fruit juice and suddenly said, "Have you studied "Meng Zi Gong Sun Chou"?"

Luo Shixing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react for a while, but Cheng Jingwei next to him looked thoughtful: "Do you want to say that the righteous will help more, and the unjust will not help?"

Wei Siwen nodded approvingly: "Exactly."

Xiao Shanshi was a little confused and said: "Isn't this the way of being a king?"

Wei Siwen smiled and said, "The principles are the same in the world, don't be so rigid."

Luo Shixing bit his chopsticks and felt that Wei Siwen might want to say that he was kind to those slaves, so the other party thanked him from the heart and blessed him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved. Since the three views are different, he shouldn't be too demanding. He has a principle in his heart and made the punishment he thought was appropriate. It doesn't matter whether those people really admitted their mistakes.

Once he knows that he made a mistake, he will not make it again. If he does not realize the mistake, he will not be relentless if there is a next time.

Oh, these people probably won't have a second chance, they've all fallen into his hands, so how can they let them out to harm others?

Thinking of this, Luo Shixing put down his chopsticks, and Cheng Jingwei, who was helping him with the crab meat, also put down his chopsticks when he saw this.

Spicy crab tastes good. Although Luo Shixing feels that there is no aroma of chili pepper, the deep-fried crab itself is crispy and has the unique fragrance of river crab. Coupled with the stimulation of eating dogwood, you can’t eat spicy food. Kids, everyone loves it.

It's just that Luo Shixing was too lazy to deal with it, and he didn't want to eat it without any image, so he didn't eat a few. Cheng Jingwei saw it and helped him start to chop the crab meat. At this time, he asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Luo Shixing nodded: "I'm full."

He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking like a kitten that was full and sleepy.

Cheng Jingwei stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, looked at his food table, and felt that he had eaten more than usual, so he said, "Wait, are you going to set off firecrackers?"

After hearing this, Luo Shixing regained his energy instantly, got up and said, "Let's go, let's set off firecrackers."

Well, their so-called firecrackers are really throwing bamboo into the fire and burning it. After the fire reaches a certain level, the bamboo bursts and makes a very loud noise.

The so-called firecrackers in fireworks originally referred to burning bamboo rather than firecrackers.

It can be said that before the appearance of firecrackers, people used this method to drive away Nian beasts.

The firepit is big enough, and they have prepared a lot of bamboo, and it is very lively after throwing it into it and crackling.

After the game was almost finished, Cheng Jingwei pinched the small ears on the tiger's head hat and asked, "Go back?"

Luo Shixing looked up at the sky and asked, "Is it almost midnight?"

Cheng Jingwei also looked up and replied, "It's almost there."

Luo Shixing shouted: "Children, go back and eat dumplings!"

The two adults who were among a group of children were caught off guard and brought back to the house by them.

Alezhen looked at a loss: "Still...still eating?"

He has eaten a lot just now, why no one reminded him to save some stomach!
