Chapter 656: New Year's Eve Dinner
Today's New Year's Eve dinner was extraordinarily lively.
Xu Qing never thought that so many people could celebrate the Spring Festival together this year.
But fortunately, the table in the dining room is big enough, even if the current two families and the future family eat together, it will not be too crowded, and it is spacious enough to add a few more children.
Originally, on this lively and festive day, the Xian Wang would have a few drinks, but now that two people are pregnant, the Xian Wang suppressed this impulse forcefully, and only focused on the dishes on the table. Lower the chopsticks.
Xian Wang took a mouthful of ordinary green leafy vegetables first, but he couldn't help opening his eyes wide: "Yes! This dish is not only full of color and full of spring, but it is also delicious and crisp in your mouth. You can eat this kind of food in this winter. Waiting for fresh vegetables is really better than delicacies."
"It's no wonder that Xue'er is not at home to eat now but she has to come to you. If this king had known that you could eat such fresh dishes at home, this king would have come here early with the princess."
"Quickly tell me, how did you turn the world around and eat fresh vegetables in winter? Could it be that your brother Chunyang really has the magic of earth rejuvenation?"
In the past, King Xian was quite curious. In the past, his daughter only ate lunch at the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, and then it was dinner, and later, his good daughter who loved to sleep in bed when she was a child was able to get up early and go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion in a carriage. Have breakfast.
Now the answer to the mystery has been solved, the food here is indeed delicious.
But where did this kid get such a skill?
You know, even if he is a prince, he can only eat some vegetables in the cellar in winter. It is very difficult to eat fresh green vegetables. How many such precious things are there in the Marquis of An Ding's mansion, it is really impressive. Unbalanced mind.
Xiao Ruxue said from the side: "That's because Xu Qing built a greenhouse in Andinghou's mansion, which can keep warm and moisturize vegetables in winter, and even cultivate melons and fruits! And it has been expanded several times later. , there is no problem in supplying fresh vegetables in winter!"
"Greenhouse?" Xian Wang asked curiously: "This kid can always create some strange and weird things, but they can indeed have magical uses. I will bring a blueprint some other day, and this king will also try to build in the palace. Let’s try a warm pavilion.”
Xu Qing agreed straight away: "It's easy to say, easy to say."
...
Concubine Xian said: "Today there are pregnant women present at home, so we can't drink alcohol, why don't we have a cup of tea instead of wine?"
The Xian Wang nodded and said: "My concubine's words are reasonable, come, let's have a toast together."
Just when the few people were clinking glasses, bunches of fireworks in the sky flew up to Nine Heavens silently, blooming with dazzling brilliance, and even a towering fire tree shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire yard in an instant Bright as day.
Su Jiyuan was somewhat flattered today, he had never imagined that one day he would be able to sit at the same table with the virtuous king, although he ate it at his own home, but it was equivalent to half a royal banquet anyway, his father-in-law was also his teacher back then It's never been so beautiful.
Not to mention his teacher, not many important officials in the court have this honor.
He can be regarded as blue out of blue and better than blue.
But when he glanced at his own son-in-law, he knew that after all, he had never seen the world...
Look at the calmness on his son-in-law's face, there is even a trace of disgust in the calmness...
After eating half of it, Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing Xu Qing, zongzi, is the zongzi ready?"
Counting the time, Xu Qing said, "It should be almost there."
Concubine Xian asked suspiciously: "Have you prepared zongzi?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Xue'er likes to eat zongzi, so I prepared some."
Princess Xian smiled and said, "You have a heart."
Xiao Ruxue couldn't wait to say: "Concubine Mu, I'll get a zongzi to eat!"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxue ran out.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue who ran out, and hurriedly followed, "Don't lift the lid directly, be careful of scalding..."
King Xian looked at the two people who left the table and asked in confusion: "Just now what is the name of this kid Xu Qing called Xue'er?"
Concubine Xian said: "My lord, help me pick up one of your pork ribs, I can't eat it myself."
...
in the kitchen
Xu Qing opened the lid with a damp cloth, and clamped several bamboo tubes in the pot to the plate. Xiao Ruxue couldn't wait to pick one up, switching his left hand for his right...
After finally waiting for the temperature to drop, Xiao Ruxue couldn't wait to peel one off, dipped the white sugar next to it, and bit down.
Then she saw another rice dumpling stretched out from the side, fixed with chopsticks and rolled around on the plate...
Xu Qing handed one to Xiao Ruxue, picked up another one herself and said, "The ones in the bamboo tube, you have to eat like this."
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who was biting down the zongzi while blowing lightly, and asked, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't eat zongzi during the Spring Festival?"
Xu Qing took another bite, without blushing at all, and said, "Everyone has a really fragrant moment."
Xu Qing doesn't want to eat it either, but who made this zongzi so delicious?
The two finished dealing with the zongzi in their hands, and then brought the rest of the zongzi to the round table in the dining room for everyone to share.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Concubine Xian and Su Qian, Zheng Wan'er and the little maid were busy making dumplings.
Tomorrow we will eat dumplings during the Spring Festival.
King Xian looked at Su Jiyuan and said, "Go on to play chess?"
Su Jiyuan cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the dining room, King Xian changed his calmness just now, pursed his lips and said, "Do you have any wine here? It's not good to drink in front of a few children just now, it really suffocated this king." .”
The glutton in Su Jiyuan's stomach also ran out at this moment, and said: "This minister also has this intention."
The virtuous king said with a smile: "Heroes see the same thing, quickly bring out the good wine."
Su Jiyuan said: "My lord, please go to the tea room to sit quietly for a while, and I will go get some fine wine."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, they all have things to do, what are we doing?"
Xu Qing thought for a while, turned his head to look at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Do you want to see the astronomical telescope I told you about last time?"
Xiao Ruxue said in surprise, "The one who can see the stars?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Of course."
Xiao Ruxue immediately said happily: "I want to see, I want to see, take me there quickly."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Come with me, I installed him on the roof of a pavilion, so I can see him clearly."
But Xiao Ye couldn't understand more and more: "What are you whispering about? What telescope? What about looking at the stars?"
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao will know when you come here, by the way, Brother Xiao didn't like to study before, right?"
When Xiao Ye heard the word "study", his face showed disgust and said: "Brother Xu, don't you understand me?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's good."
