Chapter 179 Those things about eating copper coins
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lu family got up early in the morning.
Mrs. Zhao and Luo Fu got up earlier. When He Yunxi and Mrs. Liu got up, they had already kneaded the dumpling wrappers and glutinous rice flour, chopped the meat and vegetables, and were waiting for He Yunxi to make the stuffing.
.
He Yunxi got up and packed up, but when he went out, he was surrounded by four little guys.
"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
"I wish my sister-in-law good fortune in the new year!"
"I wish my sister-in-law a lot of smiles this year."
"I wish my sister-in-law to have a baby this year!"
The four little guys spoke together.
She heard that the previous one was okay, but when she heard Lu Yunqing's words, she secretly twitched the corner of her mouth.
I'm afraid this New Year's greeting may not come true.
She took out four red envelopes and gave them to the four little guys: "Happy New Year. In the new year, you should be happy, healthy, safe, and happy every day."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
The four little guys happily took the red envelope and ran to their house to open it.
He Yunxi gave each of the four little guys a tael of silver, which made them very happy.
Think about it, six months ago, their family bought medicine for their mother and they didn’t even have half a tael of silver.
These days are so great!
He Yunxi looked at the four little guys running away happily and shook his head with a smile.
At this time, Mrs. Liu also came out of the room, and He Yunxi went over and saluted: "Mom, Happy New Year. I wish my mother good health and a smile in the new year."
Mrs. Liu smiled gently and took out a red envelope from her sleeve pocket and gave it to her.
He Yunxi was slightly surprised: "Ah, I still have a red envelope to take!"
"Yes."
"Hey, I'm already so old..."
"No matter how old you are, you can get red envelopes from Mom."
He Yunxi took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother."
She took the red envelope and flipped it around, and she knew it should contain five taels of silver.
Lu Yan came out of the room and saw He Yunxi taking the red envelope. He leaned over and said, "Mom, where is mine?"
"You have one too." Ms. Liu took one and gave it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan also accepted it cheerfully, then looked at the red envelope in his hand, lowered his head and smiled.
It’s great that I can still get red envelopes in this life.
"Sister, Happy New Year!" Liang Jinxi came out of the house and immediately wished He Yunxi a New Year, and then gave a New Year greeting to Liu, "Aunt Liu, Happy New Year."
"Hey, happy, happy." Mrs. Liu didn't expect that Liang Jinxi, as the prince, would also wish her New Year greetings. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. After hesitating for two seconds, she took out a red envelope from her sleeve pocket.
"Thank you Aunt Liu." Liang Jinxi accepted the red envelope and was also very happy.
He Yunxi also gave him a red envelope, which was the same as several other children's. It only cost one tael of silver.
Liang Jinxi felt that the feeling of receiving red envelopes was very novel. In the past, her father, the Queen, and her mother received various rewards in the palace, but they had never given red envelopes.
This was the first time he received a red envelope, so he collected the two silver rice dumplings as a souvenir.
"Mom, I'm going to cook breakfast first." He Yunxi said to Mrs. Liu.
"Are we going to eat dumplings this morning? Let's make them together," said Liu.
"Okay." He Yunxi went to help Liu's family, "I asked Mother Zhao to prepare dumpling wrappers and fillings for making dumplings. I also prepared glutinous rice and brown sugar for making glutinous rice balls."
"sweet dumpling?"
"In some places, glutinous rice balls are eaten on New Year's Day, which means reunion."
"We'll all have a taste in that moment."
"OK!"
Lu Yan and Liang Jinxi also wanted to go together, but were stopped by four little guys who ran out. He Yunxi and Liu ignored him and went to the kitchen first.
Everything was ready, He Yunxi mixed the fillings, and then everyone gathered around the table to make dumplings. After a while, Lu Yan came with five little guys to help.
Fortunately for Lu Yunjiao, the other three dumplings could only be said to be barely closed. The glutinous rice balls were not round, but oval, but the brown sugar filling was fully enclosed.
He Yunxi took thirty washed copper coins and wrapped half of them in dumplings and glutinous rice balls. After the water boiled, he put them in a pot and cooked them.
"Ah, these dumplings and glutinous rice balls wrapped with copper coins have been cooked, and I haven't even had time to mark them yet!" Lu Yunjiao said.
"I'll definitely eat them first in a while!" Lu Yunqing kept looking at the pot, "I'll just keep an eye on them and pick them up later."
"Silly, you won't know which one is right after a while." Lu Qi said from the side.
"How could it be! I've been staring at it!" Lu Yunqing said.
Worried that the dumplings and glutinous rice balls would get stuck at the bottom of the pot, He Yunxi took a bamboo spoon and stirred it up. Then Lu Yunqing realized that he didn't know any of them.
"Oops, I really don't know anything anymore. I won't be the luckiest person this year." Lu Yunqing said a little depressed.
"It doesn't matter. If it's not you, it's still a member of our family. Isn't it the same for everyone?" Lu Yunjiao comforted her.
After all, Lu Yunqing was still a four-year-old child, and she wanted to be the first to eat it. Lu Yunjiao's words did not comfort her.
No, according to the calculation here, after the new year, they will be one year older. They are now five years old. Lu Yunjiao and Lu Yu are eight years old.
The dumplings and glutinous rice balls were cooked separately, but they matured at about the same time. He Yunxi scooped out a bowl of glutinous rice balls and a bowl of dumplings for everyone. The rest was divided among several servants.
When we arrived at the restaurant, everyone started eating together. Because they used to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, everyone was accustomed to eating dumplings. In his previous life, He Yunxi always ate glutinous rice balls on the first morning of the Lunar New Year, so he subconsciously picked up a glutinous rice dumpling first.
Everyone ate together, Lu Yan took a bite, and then paused.
He Yunxi sat next to him, tilted his head and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Yeah." Lu Yan lowered his head and spit out a copper coin.
"Wow, eldest brother is going to take the exam this year and will definitely pass high school!" Lu Yu said happily.
Ms. Liu was very happy. She was in good health now, and all she cared about was Lu Yan's exam.
"Brother ate the first one, then I want to eat the second one!" Lu Yunqing also took a bite of the dumpling, but this time there was still none.
The little guy looked disappointed.
Seeing her like this, He Yunxi smiled and touched her head: "Come on, maybe the next one will be fine."
After saying that, she lowered her head and ate glutinous rice balls.
The glutinous rice balls are not big, so I stuffed them in one bite, and then... my teeth broke.
"Did you eat it?" Lu Yan asked.
"Um."
He Yunxi spit out a copper coin.
"The eldest brother will get copper coins for the first bite of dumplings, and the eldest sister-in-law will also get copper coins for the first bite of glutinous rice balls. This year, eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely have good luck and everything will go well!" Lu Yunjiao said with a smile.
He Yunxi didn't care about this.
Eating copper coins during the Chinese New Year is just a metaphor, and what will happen if it is not true.
She is not a child.
The child Lu Yunqing never got a copper coin, and her mood became more and more depressed. He Yunxi watched her finish eating, went to the kitchen, scooped up a glutinous rice ball, stuffed a copper coin into it, and then served it to Lu Yunqing with the traced side facing the bottom of the bowl.
past.
Lu Yunqing finally got the copper coins, and the little man suddenly became happy, making He Yunxi burst into laughter.
