The system is invincible, but this kitten is very depressed

After waking up, washing up, and having breakfast, Zhang Shan and Yang Yanxi went to the carriage shop again.

It was the same shopkeeper who saw Yang Yanxi taking out his household registration. He just raised his head and glanced at him without saying anything. He asked him to pay two taels of silver. There were still seats for the last carriage of the day, so he directly asked someone to take the carriage. .

There were still five people sitting in the carriage, several of them sitting next to each other, which was just full. Zhang Shan had no seats, so he had to be held by Yang Yanxi. It was cold and crowded, so he could just keep warm.

The carriage drove along the official road. The wheels were wrapped with iron chains and the horses were equipped with iron shoes. They drove steadily even on the muddy ground.

For seven consecutive days, Zhang Shan spent his time eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, and occasionally listened to their chat.

The other five people in the car were an old man and a young couple who were rushing back to Fucheng after doing business, a young man went to Fucheng for business, and a taciturn middle-aged man who came back to fulfill his filial piety because his father was seriously ill.

When the middle-aged man was young, he was arrogant and disobedient to discipline, so he stole the few silver coins at home and went out with a few friends. He was homeless for three to five years and never even sent a letter back.

Later, after the middle-aged man had been wandering around for a long time, experienced the dangers of society, and was exhausted mentally and physically, he remembered his parents' sincere teachings and selfless love, so he wrote a letter and sent it home, and then he learned that his parents had given him a younger brother.

Because his parents missed him, they gave their love to their youngest son. Under the doting of their parents, the youngest son became rebellious and naughty. In an accident, he offended the son of a powerful family and lost a lot of money. His father was even beaten. I couldn't get out of bed, and occasionally felt cold, my condition worsened, and I didn't have much time left.

Everyone was silent at first, then some comforted and some ridiculed.

But it was too late to say anything.

They arrived at Fucheng at noon on the seventh day. Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Shan and Yang Yanxi found an inn to stay.

The next day is the last month of the year. It has been half a year since Zhang Shan came to this world. She remembers that it was July when she came here. If you think about it this way, the New Year is almost over there.

I haven't been home this year, and I don't know if my parents will be anxious? Do you think she is dead?

And she has just been admitted to a job in the system, and she has a happy, free and wonderful youth...

Zhang Shan asked Yang Yanxi next to him.

"Xiaoxi, do you miss home?"

Yang Yanxi was silent for a while. He didn't know which home to talk about, so he asked, "Master, are you homesick?"

After a long time, I heard a soft voice, "Yeah."

"Master, is the New Year celebrated in the Demon Realm as well?"

"Well, some are better than others."

"Master, can you tell me about your family?"

After a long silence, Zhang Shan said, "Xiaoxi, do you know how to cook?"

"Uh, I haven't cooked yet."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Shan turned to look at Yang Yanxi, smiled softly and said, "I will teach you."

Yang Yanxi looked at the master, stunned, and said: "Okay."

Borrowing the inn's kitchen, Zhang Shan directed him to chop meat, soak onions and ginger in water, knead noodles, and make wontons.

"Cut the meat into strips first. Don't leave out the skin. Cut off the skin, right, then cut it into finer pieces, then mince it..."

"Peel the ginger and cut it into pieces, even as large as this size. Soak it in hot water with the green onion. Leave some green onion and stir it into the meat..."

"Add flour to water, little by little, don't add so much, oh! I told you not to add so much, but you poured it all in."

"Let's add some flour. Sprinkle some flour on your hands and it won't stick to your hands. Sprinkle some on the cutting board. Okay, let's start kneading the dough. You know how to wash clothes by hand. That's the posture..."

Yang Yanxi listened to Zhang Shan's instructions in a jerky manner. He followed every sentence Zhang Shan said. If he didn't understand, he would stop and ask Zhang Shan, "Is that so?", and only listened to Zhang Shan's answer before continuing.

It took a whole hour to wrap up the wontons. Looking at the wontons, which were big and small, so thin that they almost broke the mouth, and so thick that only some meat was stuffed, and the twisted seal, Zhang Shan felt, This wonton soup should be delicious.

From this aspect, he was undoubtedly successful.

When the water is boiling, the wontons can be taken out when they float out of the pot and served to the table with the soup, otherwise they won't be enough to eat.

After Yang Yanxi ate the wontons made by her own hands under the guidance of her master, she felt so happy that she wanted to share her joy with her master.

"Master, this soup is so delicious!"

"Yes, yes, you are right, my teacher also thinks that the craftsmanship is good!"

Yang Yanxi became even happier when her master praised her, and she grinned.

"Master wants to eat it from now on, I will cook it for him."

"Thank you. You are considerate. I am very happy to be my teacher."

"You're welcome, Master."

After finishing the wontons and soup, Zhang Shan burped. He was bored at night, so he chatted with Yang Yanxi.

"Xiaoxi, what do people do during the Chinese New Year?"

"Well... on New Year's Eve, we clean the courtyard, change the door gods, hang clocks, nail peach charms, have a reunion dinner in the evening, and watch the New Year..."

It is similar to that of later generations, but it is simpler in later generations. There are no taboos such as not eating fish during the reunion dinner, not turning off the lights, etc. There are also no activities such as flower lantern viewing or visiting temple fairs.

"Is Master afraid of gods on earth?"

"Be a teacher and don't be afraid."

"Is the master more powerful than the gods?"

"Ahem, it's only a little bit powerful."
