The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

The Jiang family members who were originally cleaning the house diligently discovered that for some reason there was not a speck of dust in the house and it was extremely clean.

Old Mrs. Jiang was still a little unconvinced. After checking everywhere, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing cleaning.

The work that was supposed to take half a day suddenly didn't need to be done anymore, and the Jiang family suddenly had some free time.

Jiang Qingyi stood at the kitchen door and laughed secretly. As long as no one saw it with their own eyes, she would deny it even if someone guessed it.

In the palace, the chief of the imperial guards went to meet the emperor and reported everything he had seen in the mountains.

"Oh? You mean there are no wild animals found in Taiyan Mountain? Why is that?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have not found the reason."

"It doesn't matter. There is something wrong with the mountain top that was struck by lightning."

"No, the top of the mountain was charred black, and the rocks nearby were also broken into powder. If there were people there, they would most likely not survive."

"I understand. Okay, you can go back."

"Subordinates retire."

The emperor sat in his chair and pondered for a long time, and put the matter aside for the time being.

……

The Jiang family’s lunch was pancakes stuffed with butter and celery.

Mrs. Chen made the pancake too big, so Jiang Qingyi only ate half of it, so she had to save some food for the hotpot in the evening.

The Jiang family knew that Jiang Qingyi was preparing to make a new food. Chen was most interested in this and urged Jiang Qingyi to get busy after lunch.

Old man Jiang and several of his sons were playing cards in the main room, while Old Mrs. Jiang was watching from the side with her hands in her pockets. Jiang Ping and several other boys were playing cockfighting in the yard.

Jiang Xiaoya was playing cat's tangle with Xiaotian.

The youngest, Xiaojie, was looked after by Old Lady Jiang, and Zhao also put on an apron and went to the kitchen to help.

Everyone was ready. Jiang Qingyi took out the ingredients from the space, including two live chickens, three grass carps, five kilograms of beef, a deer and half a sheep that she had brought back when she fled famine a long time ago, and the rest were various fresh side dishes.

Zhao and the others were all stunned when they saw the two large baskets of things Jiang Qingyi took out, but they quickly reacted.

Wang rolled up her sleeves and said, "Third sister-in-law, I'm going to kill a chicken. Can you help me boil some water to scald the chicken feathers?"

Chen also said, "Then I will go kill those fish."

Jiang Qingyi took two small baskets to use as fruit baskets. She went back to the room, and when she came out, the small baskets in her hands were full. Most of them were various snacks rewarded by the task system, nuts such as melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and maltose and caramel wrapped in oil paper.

Jiang Qingyi took it directly and placed it in the main room, inviting Old Lady Jiang and others to eat it.

In the kitchen, Jiang Qingyi watched the fish being filleted and put on a plate, and the chicken being chopped into pieces to make the base of a clear soup.

Chop the rest of the ingredients and place them in a large bowl.

The weather is cold enough, so there is no need to worry about the prepared ingredients going bad.

Around five in the afternoon, Jiang Qingyi asked Chen to start frying the butter base, which was then added with various spices and lots of chili peppers.

It was fragrant and choking when it was fried, and several people in the kitchen kept coughing.

At six o'clock, two small stoves were brought to the table, and the chicken soup that had been simmering for half the afternoon and the flavorful beef tallow soup base were served.

It was getting dark and the kitchen was lit by candlelight.

The adults of the Jiang family sat around the table, and the children stood beside them with their bowls in their hands. The family was very lively.

Jiang Qingyi stood beside Old Lady Jiang and used chopsticks to blanch a piece of venison and put it in her bowl. "What we are eating today is called hot pot, or shabu-shabu. Anyway, it's just putting raw food into the pot and cooking it while eating."

After the two old men took a bite, the rest started eating.

Jiang Qingyi naturally preferred the butter base. She picked up a few pieces of raw meat and put them in. After it was cooked, she took it out and put it in a bowl and ate it slowly while standing aside.

"This is really good. It keeps my stomach warm after I eat it, unlike before when the food would get cold before it even reaches the table." Old Man Jiang exclaimed with satisfaction.

"That's right. I feel warm all over after taking this bite. But it would be better if there was some wine." Jiang Dahe added.

“This hot pot gets spicier the more you eat it, but it tastes so good that I want to eat more.” After Wang said this, she started to sizzle.

Most of the Jiang family likes spicy hotpot, but they also like the soft chicken stewed in clear soup.

The Jiang family had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in a steaming hot pot.

Jiang Qingyi prepared too many ingredients this time, and some of them were left over.

After dinner, the family stayed up all night in the main room.

The two old people are in good health now, and they are also good at staying up late.

Only a few little ones couldn't hold on and went to bed early.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qingyi took out the bamboo sticks again, got a plate of larger pieces of meat from the kitchen, put them on and started grilling.

Jiang Ping, who was a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic after seeing this, "Sister, give me one too."

Jiang Dahe was the first adult to get involved.

Later, under the leadership of Jiang Qingyi, the family had another barbecue supper.

After twelve o'clock, Jiang Dashan lit a string of firecrackers in the yard, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Jiang Qingyi went to Old Lady Jiang's room as soon as she left the house. "Congratulations on your prosperity, good health, and all the best!"

Old Mrs. Jiang smiled from ear to ear, took out a small purse from her bosom and put it in Jiang Qingyi's hand, then touched her head lovingly, "This is the New Year's money your grandfather and I gave you. Our Xiaowu must also grow up safely."

Jiang Qingyi grinned and put the small purse away, "Thank you, grandma."

Then she went to see her eldest and second uncles, said a bunch of auspicious words, and successfully got two small purses.

Finally, it was his parents' place, and Jiang Dahai happily gave them a bigger purse filled with copper coins.

Breakfast was dumplings. Jiang Qingyi suggested preparing two fillings: beef and celery and leek and egg.

Because it is the new year, Grandma Jiang told her daughters-in-law to put more stuffing in the dumplings, so that the new year will be more prosperous.

In this way, every dumpling Jiang Qingyi ate was the size of a baby's fist, with solid fillings and delicious taste.

After the Jiang family came to the capital, they only became close to Ji Houde's family. They also asked people to bring New Year gifts, and Old Lady Jiang also prepared return gifts. There would definitely be a lot of braised food, and some other things. Although they were not so valuable, the most important thing was the thought. The Ji family would not care about these things.

It was lively for several days in a row. Jiang Qingyi ate and drank at home every day, and she felt that she had gained weight.

In fact, Jiang Qingyi did not grow horizontally, but she became a little taller.

It was just that when she saw that the other people in the family looked much better and had gained some weight, she had the illusion that she had gained weight as well.

I don't know where Jiang Dahe heard that there would be a temple fair on West Street on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he said he wanted to go and see the fun.
