Chapter 199 199. New Year’s Eve dinner

When it got dark, the three Lin Chaodong brothers came back each carrying a basket full of things.

There are new dishes and chopsticks, incense candles, paper money, and...

Well, nothing more.

The three of them go out with baskets on their backs every day these days, in order to add some new flavors to the tables of every household, so they have been selling roasted sweet potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes in the town these days.

Today, they did not go out to sell sweet potatoes. They thought they would go out and pick up some bargains like in previous years. Unexpectedly, they only bought some bowls and chopsticks in the end. Or because they were looking forward to having their father-in-law come to issue the imperial edict in the coming year. The emperor had spoken orally before.

Didn’t I say that if I succeed in planting sweet potatoes, the emperor will reward me.

Of course, if there is no imperial edict, oral instructions will be enough!

Anyway, as long as people come to the capital again, their family will definitely not let those "noble people" use bowls with cracked mouths or drink water directly from ladles like last time.

This is the purpose of their return trip and carrying a basket of dishes and chopsticks.

As for the tea bowl?

Their poor farmers would never think of this.

Because teapots and teacups are only found in the homes of clan leaders and elders, and they are kept on the shelf.

Therefore, the three brothers, who thought they had made preparations for the reception, spent this year with great enthusiasm.

Mainly because of the sweet potato planting that will start in the spring after the new year. As long as they think that the sweet potatoes are planted and the emperor will reward them, their hearts will be filled with excitement!

"Why have you just come back? Hurry up and worship your ancestors! Don't forget to burn incense sticks for our father! Burn some paper money!"

Mrs. Liu quickly handed the prepared sacrifices to worship her ancestors to the three brothers, as well as the incense and candles they had just bought, and then watched them go out again without even taking a sip of hot water.

There is no way, we cannot delay worshiping our ancestors.

Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, washed all the bowls she had just bought and drained them of water before carefully putting each bowl into the back of the cupboard and stacking them neatly. These are all "valuable items."

ah!

The dishes were all ready. Mrs. Liu lit the fire and waited for them to come back. She immediately put the dumplings in the pot and waited for them to drink hot water to warm their stomachs before they started eating.

This year, the family has no worries about food and drink, so the New Year’s Eve dinner is also very rich. Steamed egg custard, boiled egg drop soup, boiled salted eggs, a cabbage heart, pickled radish strips, and a small boiled egg.

There was originally a portion of rabbit meat for the fish, but the little man'er cried loudly and refused to let it be slaughtered.

Although the rabbit meat is gone, there is no shortage of meat on the table because there are also dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.

That’s called a fragrance!

Maybe she really lacked nutrients. Yue Jiuyue, who didn't like eating eggs at first, not only ate egg custard this time, but also drank egg drop soup. She even ate half of the salted eggs and felt like she hadn't eaten anything.

enough.

The dumplings also come in one bite. There is no cucumber salad, but there is cabbage heart salad. The dumplings are served with cabbage hearts, and they are still very satisfying to eat.

In the city where Yue Jiuyue is located, dumplings are usually eaten with garlic, usually cucumbers with garlic paste. During the Chinese New Year period, they mostly eat shredded carrots mixed with garlic paste and vermicelli. Children like to eat vermicelli the most. The last plate

There are only carrots left in it.

Yue Jiuyue didn't know if this habit existed here, because there were no carrots at home, and there were no vermicelli here, and there were no cucumbers in the winter, so Yue Jiuyue chose cabbage hearts mixed with garlic paste.
