Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

I am a housewife.From now on, if you come to the main room after half an hour, it will be a real reunion dinner. "

Could a few dishes still stump her?Pan Jinlian opened the door and went out. When she came to the door, she gave Chai Wu a sideways glance, and closed the door with a snort, but she didn't see Chai Wu's unlucky look of gloating.

After leaving the door of her own bedroom, Pan Jinlian saw Ying'er sitting on the mat on the steps with a box of maltose, candied haws and pastries, and when she came out, she quickly greeted her:

"Wife, when shall we eat, I'm already hungry."

"It's almost there. The fish and meat have already been packed, as long as they are ready, they can be eaten."

It was only then that Pan Jinlian realized that her stomach was also empty, and that those who were hungry during the New Year's Eve might ruin the next year's delivery, and it was Chai Wu who delayed it for herself.Ying'er looked behind her, and then replied:

"The food box for the eight dishes has already been brought back. Didn't you say that you don't want the lady to cook it yourself? I have already taken out all the vegetables in it and put them on our own plates and warmed them on the fire. As long as We can eat as soon as the husband and wife leave the house."

"Food box?"

Following Ying'er, she looked back at the door of the bedroom, there was a yellow halo of light inside, but nothing else could be seen.Pan Jinlian couldn't help feeling a bit sweet and sour in her heart, and asked with a smile;

"Where are those things, you take me to have a look."

Ying'er blinked, and took her to the half of the kitchen Mrs. Chai ordered to build. There were indeed two layers of plates hot on the stove, white-cut chicken, bad duck, squirrel mandarin fish, braised elbow flowers, Longjing cooking Shrimp slices, fried eggplant box, sweet and sour lotus root slices, assorted cold salad, a large bowl of pumpkin and crab claw soup, and a bowl of crystal green rice.

"This bad guy is waiting for me here, but I can't get angry."

Pan Jinlian looked at it and muttered to herself, Chai Wu really showed the treacherous nature of a businessman more and more, it was the time when she couldn't help laughing, loved and hated, and didn't worry at all.Ying'er looked at Pan Jinlian half-understanding, but said good things to Chai Wu:

"When the husband brought it, he said that the lady cooks very hard these days, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year should rest, so I gave the kitchen money to let them make it. If the lady doesn't want to see what they cook, wait until it's over. In this year, we will make better food by ourselves."

"Little girl, who told you to say this. The food is still good. We didn't eat the food from Chai's kitchen. It's just a new taste today. But the hardened fish can't be left there for nothing. You put the hot pot On the spot, I packed them up and put them in the hot pot, so it was not a waste of work."

Seeing that all the things in the small kitchen were put together, Ying'er lit a fire, while Pan Jinlian put the marinated fish on the chopping board, picked out the spines in the middle, and sliced ​​into thin fish fillets.After thinking about it, I also cut the tenderloin into small pieces, put oil in the pan and fried it with flour, and then took out the leftover rice crust that was baked and rolled up in the jar, chopped it up a few times, and fried it in the oil pan Now, use brown sugar, vinegar, ginger and garlic to make a thick juice, put it in a big bowl first, and wait for several dishes to be served on the table, Chai Wu also walked over slowly, sniffing Cai Shi asked, raised his finger and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, she is the housewife in our family. She really made such an authentic dish in less than half an hour. I am willing to bow down, and I will never dare to offend you again."

Pan Jinlian glanced at him with a half-smile, her face blushed slightly, but she complained:

"You have learned to make fun of me. I didn't make these things. They were all bought by you, Chai Wuye. Are you happy that you still look at me anxiously?"

"Well, I'm really glad to see you like that just now."

Chai Wu sat down on the first seat and replied with a smile, the chopsticks in his hand had already reached into the dish that Pan Jinlian had just prepared.

"I didn't buy this, I'll try it first."

"Wait a minute, this dish is not for now. I'll get you something later."

Pan Jinlian slapped his hands away, and went to the kitchen to take out the soup, poured it on the vegetables, and there was a crackling sound, which was comparable to the firecrackers outside.Chai Wu hurriedly withdrew his body to avoid the splashing soup, and praised with a smile:

"Sure enough, it's a Chinese New Year dish. My lady is so thoughtful, I admire it!"

"This dish is called a thunder on the ground, and it was eaten unexpectedly. Ying'er, come up to eat, don't need to watch the hot pot, just let it burn by itself, and it won't be too late to serve it later."

Ying'er was fanning the flames outside with a fan, when she heard Pan Jinlian tell her to pack her things and ran up, and sat down at the bottom, Chai Wu poured out a jar of pear blossom stuffing for herself, Pan Jinlian had boiled jujube pear juice earlier, I served two bowls for myself and Yinger, and I ate very happily.While drinking wine, Chai Wu told the two of them the anecdotes and strange things he encountered when he was out on business. Ying'er, on the other hand, nodded while eating, saying a few words from time to time.

After a while, the hot pot was ready. Pan Jinlian put on her clothes and went out to the yard to bring out the pot, and put it steaming hot on the table. Everyone ate happily, and when they arrived at Chai Wu, there was a pot of soup and water. Send it to a few management friends who have come back.

Pan Jinlian watched him walk out of the courtyard gate in the daytime, looked at the noisy sky, and slowly made a wish: the days to come will be better and better, and I will have my own home next year.

After chanting, she hugged Ying'er and closed the yard door, went back to the house to pack up the dishes, lit the lanterns, and the whole yard was even more red.Ying'er clapped her hands and sang a little tune from her hometown, then chirped and said:

"My lady, it's time for us to make dumplings. I have some new copper coins left over here. Let's put them in the dumplings and see who can eat them."

But I forgot about this. It was time to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Pan Jinlian nodded with a smile. It happened that there was still some minced meat at home. A lantern came back into the yard through the night, just about to be wrapped.Na Chai Wu also took a bag of things in his hand, put on his cloak and said with a smile:

"It's not a loss for me to go this time. It's full of local characteristics. They gave us New Year's Eve."

Pan Jinlian also felt curious, wiped the dough on her hand, opened the oiled paper bag and looked at everything carefully, but they were all kinds of cakes, some with pulp and nuts inside, and some with layered fillings, but they were all cakes. Sweet and salty, very delicious.Chai Wu also washed his hands and came over to help make dumplings. After a while, he finished making more than a hundred dumplings. Some of them had new copper coins in them, and Pan Jinlian put them aside.

When the drums were played several times, and the sound of firecrackers stopped and started again, Ying'er boiled the water and put the dumplings in the pot. Pan Jinlian watched from the side and waited for them to be picked up and filled three bowls. He took the one with the copper coins, but gave the one with the most to Chai Wu.Chai Wu was unprepared, and every time he ate, his teeth clicked, but he still smiled, very embarrassed.

The rest of the two watched the excitement, eating and holding back their smiles. Pan Jinlian showed no guilt at all. She did this to make Chai Wu happy, but since they are both husband and wife after making money, it is natural It's for two people.

Chai Wu had no choice but to eat all the dumplings, but put a pile of copper coins on a plate and bury them under the tree on New Year's Day, so that he could gather wealth next year.According to the rules here, one has to stay overnight on New Year's Eve, so after eating the dumplings, Ying'er squatted in the room to play with weaving ropes, and Chai Wu and Pan Jinlian gambled, but they were all for the small money for entertainment.

The gambling houses in the Song Dynasty were all ignored by the officials, but there were many ways to gamble. Chai Wu naturally knew these things when he went out to do business. He took a cup and two dice to teach Pan Jinlian to guess the size and many other things. I have only seen it on TV before, so it is naturally very novel.The two played for half a day, but Pan Jinlian lost all the money in his hand to Chai Wu.

"This thing looks simple, but it is infinitely profound," Chai Wu said while giving Pan Jinlian a malicious look, "If this lady loses again, I will have to use clothes to pay off the debt."

"We'll wait until you win," Pan Jinlian glared at him, thinking that if he wins, it's fine. If he loses, he can't deny it. What else can he do with himself? That's all, don't you want to go to those two rooms to pay respects to them, I don't want to see these two."

Thinking of the two daughter-in-laws of the Chai family who were fighting back and forth, Pan Jinlian couldn't bear it again, Chai Wu smiled and buckled the cup:

"That's not necessary. Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year. The two of them must go to the wife's room to accompany them, so it's fine to worship together. But tomorrow you may meet several concubines of the master and the young master. On the first day of the new year , all the female relatives are here."

The author has something to say: Sick ing...

Autumn is really a season that is easy to catch a cold.

35 Happy New Year

The first day of the Lunar New Year is a busy day, Chai Wu got up early, dressed himself up and went out of the yard. All the shops and homes had to pay respects, and he had to send some things to the guys, so he was very busy. .As for Pan Jinlian, she didn't sleep well either, so she got up after him, wrapped herself in a steamed bun, ate a bowl of porridge and left the gate.

It was a beautiful day, it was a sunny day, there was a piece of red paper scraps on the ground, like a snowfall, and several servants were sweeping along the stone road with a big broom that was as high as a person. His face was full of joy, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and he could see that he had been closed all night.

Smelling the smell of sulfur and saltpeter all the way through the small
