The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 627

[Chapter 627 New Year’s Eve]

Fang Xiu has never been a sentimental person, but it is impossible to say that he was not touched at all when he heard these two words.

He just nodded and said, “Okay.”

Xiu’er had already bought the ingredients before.

In this era, few people eat pork because it has a strong taste and has not gone through that process. Most of the meat on the market is mutton. Although it has a slight smell, people can accept it.

In fact, this is also nonsense.

In previous lives, not many families could eat meat every day. What’s more, in this era, ordinary families can be considered relatively wealthy if they can eat meat once a year.

As for people like Fang Fu who cannot live without meat and vegetables, they are really in the minority.

“I’ll make the stuffing, Fang Xiu, and you can make the noodles.”

This time, Zhao Yan vowed to do the whole process by herself. Except for the fact that the ingredients were prepared in advance, no servants were allowed to help with anything else.

This is also a bitter experience. I thought that during the festival, I could be a salted fish with clothes to stretch out my hands and rice to open my mouth.

I didn’t expect that I would even help with the dough making.

Of course, this problem is really nothing to him.

In his previous life, he often kneaded noodles by himself and made noodles to eat.

The reason is the same as before, because it’s cheap.

A large bag of flour and a pack of mustard for one dollar can last for several months.

It is no exaggeration that

Fang Xiu has taken on the heaviest physical work.

The rest of the work was naturally divided among the three.

After working for a long time, I finally made the dumplings, which looked terrible.

Even so, several people still felt a sense of accomplishment, especially Zhao Yan, who had never cooked before, and she was even more proud.

In her opinion,

insisting on dividing a portion of the dumplings and sending them to Lin Wanqing might be a way of showing off.

But in Fang Xiu’s opinion, it was simply embarrassing.

Soon, New Year’s Eve arrived.

The servants of Fang Mansion gathered in a courtyard, while Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan, Fang Ru, Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun were in the backyard.

The fiery red lanterns reflected the happy faces.

“Here are the dumplings!”

Bai Xiaochun walked over quickly carrying several plates of hot dumplings and placed them firmly on the table.

“Miss Zhao, would you like to try it first?”

There was no other reason, except that Zhao Yan had said before that she made most of these dumplings, so naturally she had to be the first to eat them.

Zhao Yan looked at the plate of dumplings in front of her and immediately felt a sense of accomplishment. She picked up her chopsticks, picked up one, and took a bite.

“How does it taste?”

Fang Ru next to her looked at Zhao Yan and asked curiously.

“It’s delicious!”

Zhao Yan showed an expression of joy, as if she had never expected it.

When Fang Ru saw this scene, a look of suspicion appeared on her face.

When Zhao Yan was mixing the stuffing, she was watching from the side.

The celery was not washed, so much salt was added, and sugar was added!

Can this be delicious?

However, it doesn’t look like Zhao Yan is faking it.

She doubtfully picked one up and took a bite.

In an instant, the same expression appeared.

He even gave a rare compliment to Zhao Yan: “Zhao Yan, this is the first time I know that you can actually cook!”

Zhao Yan glared at her and said angrily: “No matter how big or small, Call me Master!”

Seeing this, Xiu’er couldn’t hold back and took a bite.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he didn’t think much about it.

There are so many seasonings, and there are mutton and celery, even if the taste is not good, no matter how bad it is, it should not be much different

. So, without any hesitation, I put the whole dumpling into my mouth and started chewing it.

The next second, his expression gradually turned ferocious.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at Zhao Yan and Fang Ru: “You can also eat this!?”

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

Zhao Yan and Fang Ru saw this scene, and they laughed like pigs in unison.

Even Xiu’er couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, Liu Cheng brought the carriage to Fang Mansion, naturally picking up Zhao Yan.

“Your Highness Princess, it’s time for you to return to the palace. Your Majesty is still waiting for you.”

Liu Cheng walked to the courtyard gate and happened to see this scene, his expression became a little strange.

After waiting for a moment, he dared to speak.

Zhao Yan heard Liu Cheng’s voice, looked back at him, nodded, and said, “I understand.”

Then, he packed up his clothes and prepared to leave Fang Mansion.

As soon as he took a step, he thought of something, turned back, picked up a plate of dumplings, walked up to Liu Cheng, and said with a smile: “Eunuch Liu, these are the dumplings made by this princess myself, do you want to try them?” “

Your Highness, you really praise me, slave, slave,”

Liu Cheng showed a moved expression on his face, and tears filled his eyes as he spoke.

If someone who wasn’t familiar with him saw this scene, they would really think that he was so moved by such a dumpling.

But Fang Xiu and the others knew that this old fox always looked like he was crying with gratitude whenever he met any of the royal children and was given a little reward.

Therefore, Zhao Yan didn’t feel the slightest sense of guilt for tricking him.

What’s more, this is not a trap. This dumpling was originally going to be brought to the palace for the father, the emperor’s grandmother, and the mother’s concubine to taste.

Although it tasted terrible, it was his first time to cook.

Liu Cheng reached out and took the chopsticks handed over by Bai Xiaochun. He carefully set up a dumpling, as if it were some kind of treasure. He slowly put it to his mouth and bit it gently. Down.

“Okay, okay!”

The next second, Liu Chenggong let out a burst of admiration, his eyes lit up, and he even said with some excitement: “Your Highness is indeed Your Highness. It is your first time to cook, and you can make such delicious

food.” After living for decades, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious dumplings!”

“”

“”

“”

Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan, and Fang Ru were all speechless.

It seems that it is really not luck for people to be able to go all the way from a young eunuch to a eunuch.

Not to mention anything else, just this acting skill, in his previous life, he was definitely at the level of an actor.

Zhao Yan originally wanted to tease him, but after hearing these compliments, she felt a little embarrassed. She waved her hands and said, “Okay, there is no need to say these words.

I still know what level this princess is.

Return to the palace . “

Yes

, Your Highness, please slow down.”

Liu Cheng accompanied him, naturally cautious.

After Zhao Yan left, the courtyard seemed less lively than before.

But after Fang Xiu told a few stories about New Year’s Eve, the Spring Festival, and the Nian beast, the atmosphere became lively again.

Several people also made dumplings again.

This time, it was Xiu’er who prepared the stuffing, and the taste was completely different from Zhao Yan’s.

If it weren’t for the dumplings made by Xiu’er, Fang Xiu would have thought that the dumplings were as unpalatable as those made by Zhao Yan.

All in all, there was nothing particularly memorable about this New Year’s Eve.

However, whether it is Fang Xiu, Fang Ru or Xiu’er, it may be unforgettable in their lifetime

because this is the warm memory of the first Chinese New Year in their memories, including Fang Xiu’s.
