The Resplendent Farming Apothecary

On New Year's Eve, following my grandfather's custom, I ate a vegetarian meal. Fortunately, many dishes are from Aunt Yan's hands, and they are all good dishes that can be entered in Qingfenglou. However, for the Chu family, who loves meat, it is not as attractive as a big plate of elbows. Except for Jun, who was happy to eat, everyone else was supervised by General Chu and tried to put them in their mouths.

Chu Xiaosi smelled the fleshy smell of Xiaowu and Xiaoliu beside him, looked at their shiny mouths, complained that they ate it secretly and didn't bring him, and asked them what good food they ate.

Chu Xiaowu lowered his voice proudly and said, What else can I eat? Of course it's pig head meat!

Chu Xiaoshi was shocked: What! How dare you steal the pig's head that was offered to the Kitchen Lord? If grandpa finds out, he won't break your legs! Xiaoliu, why are you making fun of it?

During the sacrificial ceremony, a few of the six brothers in the Chu family had long been hooked by the offerings on the altar, and they were so greedy that they called out. It's just that the pork head meat braised in the small kitchen is so fragrant, the smell penetrates directly into the nose, and the saliva can not be controlled.

For some noble families in Beijing, pork is a crude and inferior ingredient, not to mention pig heads and pig offal. For the famous nobles, the pig's head is only used for sacrifice. The family of military generals like Chu's family is not so particular about pork, beef, sheep, chicken and fish, they don't pick it!

However, as for the pig's head, it is troublesome to clean up, and it looks strange and panicky, and the taste is not very good, so it has never been served on the table. The young and old men of the Chu family who participated in the sacrificial stove were all surprised that the pig's head could actually emit such a fragrance. The cook in the small kitchen really has the power to turn decay into magic!

No matter how greedy you are, the offerings cannot be eaten that day. You must wait for the Lord of the Stove to go to the sky before you can share the food. Chu Xiaosi was surprised at the boldness of the two younger brothers, who dared to attack the offerings!

Chu Xiaowu rolled his eyes at him and said, Who stole it? Don't put the charge on my head! The little kitchen in the little girl's yard is not just stewed with a pig's head. Xiaoliu and I smell it. The scent is gone... After saying that, she showed a smug look.

Chu Xiao's four noses seemed to still resonate with the tempting aroma of braised pig's head. With his hands under the table, he gently pinched the fifth brother a few times, and gritted his teeth: You kid! Go grab something delicious, I don't know how to call it. Fourth brother. Don't try to borrow a copper plate from me in the future!

Recently, Chu Xiaowu bought Anya some jewelry, clothes, rouge powder and so on from time to time. The monthly money in his hand was almost spent, and he didn't want to use the small vault, so he tried every means to borrow silver from his twin brother.

Chu Xiaosi has been staying in the military camp recently, and where he didn't have any money, he generously gave him all the monthly money for this month. Chu Xiaosi now regrets it, knowing that Xiao Wu is so unconscionable, he would rather give the money to buy meat and bones to feed the dog!

Oh, take it easy! Next time, I will definitely bring you next time, okay? Chu Xiaowu was pinched and grinned, afraid that he really wouldn't lend him money, so he hurriedly showed a pleasing expression, Tell quietly. You, little sister, are making a good thing called 'intestinal enema' tonight, I will definitely bring you tomorrow!

You two! Old General Chu saw that everyone's enthusiasm for eating was not high, so he implemented the method of contracting to others, The four dishes in front of you, two for each person. Also, if you don't eat two bowls of rice, don't do it. I want to get off the table. 'Filling the warehouse' means eating with an open stomach, so that in the coming year, we can make money and fill the warehouse!

Chu Xiaosi and Chu Xiaowu, who were named, saw the four dishes in front of them: a cabbage, a tofu, a radish, and a shredded potato. They couldn't be more vegetarian! They showed sad expressions, especially Chu Xiaowu. After eating a large piece of pork head in the kitchen, how could he eat dishes without oil and water?

Grandpa Chu knew that his granddaughter had a small appetite, so he didn't force her to eat anything. She ate two pieces of rice candy, and squeezed a few slices of apples and honeydew melons from the fruit bowl, then stopped her chopsticks and smiled as she watched her brothers eat with great bitterness.

She smiled and said to Chu Xiaowu: Fifth brother, you can imagine that the roasted radish in front of you is a piece of braised pork, exuding a strong fragrance, fat but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and your mouth is full of oil...

Little girl, stop talking! The more you talk about my plate of radishes, the more I can't eat it! Chu Xiaowu shoved the radish into his mouth bitterly and chewed it reluctantly.

You can imagine, substitute it... People want plums to quench their thirst, you can think of braised pork to satisfy your cravings! Gu Ye filled a small bowl of fruit glutinous rice balls and ate them in small bites.

Chu Xiaowu stretched out his chopsticks to the plate of shredded potatoes, his eyes lit up slightly, it was sour and spicy, and although it was a vegetarian dish, it still tasted good. He hurriedly made the first move, pulled the hot and sour potato shreds in front of him, and said to Chu Xiaosi, I will wrap this plate and that radish, and the rest of the cabbage and tofu are yours!

Chu Xiaosi raised his eyebrows, he wouldn't tell Xiaowu that idiot, the tofu is stewed with chicken soup and the mushrooms are fresh. The vinegared cabbage was also quite to his taste. That idiot grabs those two dishes, let him grab it!

Speaking of which, the vegetarian food on New Year's Eve every year is good this year. At least there are a lot more dishes, such as oyster sauce lettuce, shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables, dry pot eggplant, three fresh dishes... The taste is actually not bad!

After dinner, Gu Ye hugged the stove that his mother had stuffed, put on a heavy cloak, and strolled back to the Pearl Pavilion. In her boudoir, the earth dragon was burning warmly, Gu Ye changed into a light cotton pajamas, and lay lazily on the dresser.

I don't know where Brother Chen is now? This New Year's Eve, he can only spend it alone on the road! Gu Ye calculated silently in his heart according to the speed of the mutant leopard. If Brother Chen returned to Shengjing, at least Also three days. At this time, it should be close to the border of the Yan Kingdom, right?

Hua Hao and Yue Yuan looked at each other and didn't answer. They knew that the girl was thinking of her master. The relationship between the girl and the master is really good. After seeing each other for a day, she started talking about it. I remembered when the girl was injured, the master was such a noble and cold person, who took care of him beside the hospital bed in a disorganized manner, and never faked the hands of others when taking medicine and drinking water. No wonder the girl is becoming more and more dependent on him!

Seeing that the girl was not in a high mood, Yueyuan glanced at something on the table with the end of her eyes, and said with a hurried smile: Today, the steward of Yinzhen Pavilion has asked someone to bring a new item, saying that it was specially made by the master. It was spun for girls. The slaves have clumsy eyes and don’t know what to do. Girl, you have a lot of knowledge, can you tell the slaves?”

As soon as Gu Ye heard it, Brother Chen made it especially for someone, so he hurriedly propped up his head and looked at the item in Yueyuan's hand.

The ball of wool? How did Brother Chen know that I can knit wool? Gu Ye took the ball of wool and gently touched it with his hands. It was soft and comfortable, and it should have been mixed with rabbit hair.

She looked at the table, red, white, black, gray, four colors of thread, the table was full. In addition to the balls of thread, there are wool needles of different thicknesses on the table, even crochet needles!

Gu Ye picked up the crochet needle, closed his eyes and thought about it, the flying needle crocheted a small red and white flower, which was very delicate and beautiful. Yueyuan had seen the needle and thread made by the girl, it was really appalling. She never thought that her own girl could make such beautiful and novel flowers with one thread and one crochet.

The movements in Gu Ye's hands became more and more proficient, and it didn't take long for two identical flowers to be drawn. After thinking about it, she sewed the two woollen flowers on her cotton slippers. Yueyuan couldn't help but exclaimed: Wow! It's so beautiful! I didn't expect the girl to have this skill!

Gu Ye pursed her lips and smiled, she hooked up a few more white snowflakes and stuck them on the window glass, and the whole room suddenly became vivid.

In a previous life, when I was in college, there was a little girl in the dormitory who was good at knitting sweaters, gloves, scarves, and hooking hats and slippers. What a coincidence! She also studied for a while, and she was quite talented.

However, when she encountered the big ice cube in her previous life, it was already a time of chaos, and every day was precarious, and she had never shown this skill in front of others. I don't know how Brother Chen learned that she could weave, and let people send these...

After thinking about it, Gu Ye picked up two wool needles, chose white rabbit wool, and started to stitch. She planned to knit a scarf for her mother, with a white bottom and red begonia flowers on top. At the beginning, there were still some hands-on students, and gradually they became more and more handy.

The two maids sat next to the girl with their spring stools, holding their cheeks and watching her fingers jump up and down, two slender bamboo needles flew, and a slender thread could actually be woven into unique patterns.

It was late at night, and Yueyuan rubbed her sour eyes and reminded in a low voice, Girl, it's getting late, let's knit tomorrow...

Gu Ye looked at himself knitting a scarf that was more than two feet long. The stitches were well-proportioned and the patterns were meticulous. He felt a little proud—the craftsmanship was the same as before! She turned her neck, put down the wool needle in her hand, and lay down on the bed after washing up under the service of the maids.

Soon, she fell asleep. In the dream, Brother Chen awkwardly pinched two wool needles, weeping lasagna, and was knitting a sweater. And she was holding a small whip, grinning and supervising... Hmph, this is the price of leaving without saying goodbye!

After waking up the next day, Gu Ye thought of this dream and thought it was funny! Yes, this time, brother Chen must not be easily spared, so he will be punished... Let's knit a sweater for her! Sweater tutorial, she will send it with the letter!

After breakfast, Gu Ye buried her head and continued to knit scarves, without delaying her chatting with the two maids: Yue Yuan, have you sent someone to send the invitation?

Girl Hui, I have already sent it! In addition to Miss Yuan, Miss Lin, and Princess Anya, they also gave them to Miss Zhao of the five-city soldier Ma Si's family, the grandson of the general minister's family, and Yu, according to the girl's instructions. Miss Wei from Dr. Shi's family has also sent messages over there!

Yueyuan also took two sweater needles in her hand and knitted awkwardly. What she knitted was the most basic stitch that Gu Ye taught her.
