Chapter 253: Idleness
Jin Yang is the new daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, in the past, she only heard that the Dongshan Hou Mansion was lively for the New Year, but she had never experienced it herself, and now it has become her home.
A lot of things in the house are done by her and Xuan Shijing, who have only tasted good food in the past, but in the past few days, I can see Xuan Shijing doing it himself, some pickled lo-mei, fried fried goods and the like.
"I didn't expect these delicious foods to be made by my husband, and my husband really likes to tinker with these things." In the kitchen, Xuan Shijing was in front of the pot, flipping the fence in his hand, and some fried goods were fried in the pot.
"The people take food as the sky, who made your husband a glutton, you stay away, there is too much smoke in this kitchen." Xuan Shijing saw that Jin Yang was sitting on the bench behind him, and the kitchen was full of oil smoke, so don't choke.
"It doesn't matter, the husband is busy, and the concubine is the husband to help." Jin Yang smiled slightly.
Jin Yang thinks that occasionally the husband and wife do something in the kitchen, which can be regarded as the joy of life, and it is no wonder that his husband likes to cook occasionally, and occasionally, it is indeed an interesting thing.
Xuan Shijing scooped up the contents of the oil pot with a fence and buckled them in the porcelain basin on the side.
There are not many kinds of vegetables that can be eaten in winter, the lotus root is one of the same, Xuan Shijing cut the lotus root, and then cut a gap from it, stuffed the adjusted meat filling into it, wrapped it in flour outside, fried it in the oil pan, and when it was just fried out to the temperature that can be eaten, it is called a crispy outside and tender inside.
The noodles wrapped outside were fried to golden brown, and another batch was put into the pot, Xuan Shijing took one out of the porcelain basin, blew it, got a little pepper and salt and cumin from the side and sprinkled it on it, and handed it to Jinyang.
"Taste, just out of the pot."
Jin Yang took it, blew the hot air on it, and carefully took a sip to eliminate it, the outer dough was very crispy, the lotus root was also crispy, the meat inside was tender and juicy, and the mixed fragrance spread out in the mouth, making people want to stop.
"Delicious!"
Earlier, Jin Yang had also eaten these dishes sent to the palace by the Hou Mansion, but it was already cold when they were sent over, and the taste was different when the Shang Food Bureau was hot.
Shang Shi Bureau cooks, steaming, boiling, eating, three tricks of freshness, eating all over the day.
"Husband doing so much?" Jin Yang saw that there were still some unfried lotus root boxes stacked on the pot table, and they were all fried, so there were more than two pots.
"This is just what we eat in our own house, it's done, it's durable, two pots of farmers and merchants, and it's good to heat it up when we eat it." Xuan Shijing said: "This is an indispensable dish for the New Year in the house." ”
"Does that husband want to do anything else?" Jin Yang asked while eating.
"There are also some purple melons, which need to be done as well." Hyun Shijing responded.
Purple melon is eggplant, and there are two kinds of eggplant, one is meat filling, and the other is leek egg filling.
"Then I'll help my husband clean up those purple melons." Jin Yang stuffed the last lotus root box into his mouth and stood up.
"Just let the kitchen helper do it."
"But the husband is so busy, and the concubine also wants to help the husband, the kitchen helper, just let them get some firewood and prepare the ingredients."
"Okay, let's wash the purple melon and cut it."
In the afternoon, both of them were busy in the kitchen, Ming'er was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and at noon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Hou Mansion would eat a banquet up and down, and in the afternoon the sacrifices would be prepared and sent to the ancestral hall.
This year, there is one more person who can enter the ancestral hall of the Xuan family, that is, Jinyang, Jinyang is the eldest lady of the Xuan family now, and it is also a ceremony to visit the ancestral hall during the New Year's holidays.
After eating at noon on the thirtieth, the Wang family took Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang to the ancestral hall of the Xuan family, and the chief housekeeper Zhong Zishuo was also there, he could only wait outside the door, and waited until Xuan Shijing and they came out, and Zhong Zishuo, as a brother, could go in and offer incense to Xuan Mingde.
The ancestral hall of the Xuan family is very empty, and there are two tablets enshrined above, one is Xuan Mingde, the other is Xuan Mingde's adoptive father, Xuan Shijing's grandfather who is not related by blood.
The sacrifices enshrined in the ancestral hall, a sheep, a dolphin, and a cow are not available at the level of Xuan Shijing, and the rest are grains and some dried fruits and vegetables.
Cigarettes curled in the ancestral hall, Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang knelt on the futon and kowtowed respectfully, saluted, and told Xuan Mingde about some of the major events that happened this year, and then the two withdrew from the ancestral hall, and the rest was that the Wang family was in the ancestral hall and talked to the deceased husband.
"I have long heard that my husband's family is a separate family, and today I entered the ancestral hall, and it is really so." On the way back to the courtyard, Jin Yang talked about it.
"Yes, my father is an adopted child of the Xuan family, and he doesn't have any status in the Xuan family, if it is really according to tradition, the family business of the Xuan family should also be inherited by the Xuan Lindao family." Xuan Shijing said: "It's just that in the war, the Xuan family declined, and even the ancestral hall was destroyed, when my father followed His Majesty, he was also considered to have some ability in Chang'an, so he rebuilt the ancestral hall of the Xuan family, which can be regarded as repaying the Xuan family for raising him, but later, the Xuan Lindao family came to Chang'an, and moved out so many rights and wrongs, and simply returned the ancestral hall to them. Most of them are just family businesses earned by the hard work of this family, and there is absolutely nothing to do with the Xuanlin Dao family. ”
"Then the husband was poisoned."
"It has something to do with their family, but they don't pursue it too much." Xuan Shijing smiled: "What will happen if you really pursue it?" Murdering a Hou master, the Xuanlin Dao family will not survive, and the real Xuan family will be cut off from their grandchildren......"
"Do you still hate them?" Jin Yang asked.
"Hate, how not hate? But think about it the other way, there was no Xuan family, there would be no my father, and without my father, where did I come from? My grandfather died early, it was a troubled time, my father did not repay the Xuan family's nurturing grace, and if he owes others, it will be repaid by me, who is a son, and now, this kindness has long been clear, if the current Hou Mansion and the Xuan family, what does it have to do with it, that is, my grandfather is the Xuan family with strong roots. ”
When I was a child, Xuan Shijing wished that they would die, but after so many years, it has passed, and the water of the two wells does not interfere with the river water, and the current state is already very good.
"Speaking of this, it can also reflect how important it is for a man to marry a wife and be virtuous." Xuan Shijing smiled at Jin Yang.
