Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 79 Hot Pot in Winter

With the experience with Cui Yuniang.

Next, Li Huaian became much more skilled.

Like a tool man, he came out of Cui Yuniang's house in Qinghe and then entered the yard where the eldest daughter of the Boling Cui family lived.

The reason why the legitimate daughters of the two families named Cui are placed in adjacent courtyards is purely because Cui Yu's wife is the daughter of Boling Cui's family.

In Cui Yueniang's house in Boling.

Like Cui Yuniang, Li Huaian said a few words, drank a glass of wine, and then came out. As for cultivating feelings, he could only wait until later and take his time.

Then, the five surnamed girls in the remaining five courtyards are, in order, Li Youniang from Zhaojun, Lu Shuniang from Fanyang, Zheng Liniang from Xingyang, Li Jinniang from Longxi, and Wang Wenniang from Taiyuan.

Ok.

The names of these seven women with the fifth surname all have the character for "mother" at the end of their names.

It's easy to remember.

When Li Huaian walked out of Wang Wen's house in Taiyuan, he was muttering the names of seven girls with the fifth surname. He wondered if he could make a wish by putting together the names of nine girls.

Or activate Super Girl, Wu Meiniang?

Choose to choose.

Originally, I wanted to hold the New Year's Eve banquet in the dining room of the house.

But I feel like there is something missing.

In other words, it's too much business as usual.

At last.

Li Huaian still arranged the New Year's Eve banquet in the vegetable greenhouse. Li Ruoqiu, the maid Taohua, and seven girls with five surnames, a group of people can eat together and celebrate New Year's Eve. They can also watch the snow scene through the spacious glass, and they can see the sky when they look up. starry sky.

Wouldn't it be more poetic?

In particular, there is a large open space outside the vegetable greenhouse, which is very suitable for setting off fireworks. You can see the fireworks when you look up from inside the house without going out to freeze.

Simply perfect.

the most important is.

Li Huaian planned to eat hot pot tonight, so he asked Old Wu Tou to make a batch of copper hot pots in advance so that during the Chinese New Year, the house could cook meat and eat it at any time.

After all, how can we miss hotpot mutton in winter?

There are a total of four copper hot pots placed in the greenhouse.

One taste in one pot, clear soup, medicinal food, spicy, slightly spicy.

It can be said that it caters to everyone's taste.

Another advantage of making hot pot in a hothouse is that you can pick whatever vegetables you want from the field at any time, wash them and put them directly into the pot to eat. The whole process will not take more than 1 minute.

"Sister Ruoqiu, this is the greenhouse built by the Marquis with glazed glass. Winter here can be the same as spring. It can also be used to grow vegetables, so that the house can eat different vegetables every day."

Cui Yuniang, who arrived at the vegetable greenhouse in advance, looked at the greenhouse and the vegetables grown in the greenhouse with a look of shock. She just stood on the bluestone platform and took a rough look at the vegetable patch in the greenhouse. The vegetables grown in it, There were actually many vegetables that she had never seen or knew about.

In particular, there is a piece of land with more than a dozen vegetables that have turned from green to red and look like persimmons. They look very tempting. I don’t know what they are called.

I just heard from a maid in the greenhouse that it was a vegetable called tomato, also called tomato.

It's delicious served cold with sugar.

Seeing that she was curious, he went to pick a few, took them down, and asked the cook to make them cold with sugar and bring them to him.

all.

Cui Yuniang was very curious.

This Shouchang Hou Mansion is really different from other high-level courtyards, whether it is the maids in the mansion, some architectural decoration equipment, or the rules in the mansion.

Although these maidservants wear jade pendants representing their rank around their waists, their relationship with each other is very harmonious, except when giving orders, they are divided into ranks.

Other times, no identity difference can be seen.

During this time.

Cui Yuniang also met Li Ruoqiu, the maid Taohua, and the other twelve maids in charge of the mansion with gold and jade pendants.

The maid who just introduced tomatoes to her is the maid named Meihua among the twelve maids with gold and jade pendants.

these findings.

It’s not just Cui Yuniang.

The same is true for the other six women with the fifth surname.

When I saw a greenhouse made entirely of glass for the first time, I was filled with disbelief when I saw that it was as warm as spring and could grow a lot of vegetables in winter.

Planting vegetables on such a large scale.

Even the five surnames and Qi Wang can't do it at home. At most, they rely on some conveniences to grow some vegetables that can survive the winter. These vegetables need to be supplied to the important elders in the family who are getting older and cannot eat meat regularly. They eat.

They, the younger generation, can't get a bit of it.

Unexpectedly.

On the night of the first day after marrying into the Shouchang Hou Mansion, the New Year's Eve banquet we had had a lot of vegetables that were rare in winter. I saw a maid constantly placing all kinds of juicy vegetables on the table. I had never seen this before. Yes, what I have seen has already dazzled seven women with the fifth surname.

For a moment.

These seven girls with five surnames felt like they were village girls from the countryside, standing on the edge of the bluestone platform, while their respective maids were standing on the green brick path below the bluestone platform. A group of people didn't know what they were doing.

Can only stand.

Watching the twelve flower goddess maids who were on duty in the glass greenhouse tonight, they kept shuttling through the vegetable garden in the greenhouse. Various dishes were placed on the Eight Immortals table. There were four large ones that I had never seen before, and burning charcoal was placed inside. , a kind of copper utensil called hot pot, staring at the mist coming out of the copper hot pot and smelling the smell.

The rest is just waiting for Li Huaian to come over.

As for why he hasn't arrived yet.

It was because, after Li Huaian came out of the house of Taiyuan Wang Wenniang, the last woman with the fifth surname, he originally wanted to go directly to the glass greenhouse.

but.

On the way, I heard the maid coming to report that Princess Changle had come to the house.

last resort.

Li Huaian could only rush to the gate of the mansion to meet Li Lizhi.

In fact, he never thought that Li Lizhi would skip the New Year's Eve banquet held by the saint in the palace, run out of the palace, and come to Shouchang Hou Mansion to spend New Year's Eve with him.

"Changle, why did you run out of the palace so late at night?"

On the way to the glass greenhouse, Li Huaian asked about the reason why Li Lizhi came to Shouchang Hou Mansion.

He was not very worried about Li Lizhi's safety when leaving the palace at night. No one in Chang'an City dared to collide with Princess Changle's carriage, and Li Lizhi would bring many guards with her every time she left the palace. This was completely guaranteed. Safety along the way.

So he doesn't need to worry about it.

As for the nighttime curfew in Chang'an City.

During the Chinese New Year.

The nighttime curfew in Chang'an City has been temporarily lifted until the end of the Lantern Festival.

There are probably people outside now taking to the streets to have fun.

"Ha ha."

Li Lizhi smiled and explained the reason.

"My father holds a New Year's Eve banquet every year. In the front is my father with a group of ministers and nobles, and in the back is A Niang with a group of princesses, ladies, and ladies. It's really boring."

"Chang Le thought that Brother Huai'an didn't come to my father's New Year's Eve banquet, so he wanted to come over and see you."

Li Huaian smiled when he heard this.

"Then you're here. I'm going to eat the hot-boiled pork in a copper pot that you haven't eaten before. It's very suitable for winter."

"Really, then I want to have a taste."

Li Lizhi's eyes lit up when she heard something she had never heard of or eaten before.

Then something came to mind.

Li Lizhi opened her palms, revealing the white jade sword she took from Li Shimin, and handed it to Li Huaian.

"Brother Huai'an, this is a New Year's Eve gift."

"The Saint's White Jade Destruction Jue?"

When Li Huaian saw the white jade sword in Li Lizhi's hand, he naturally recognized it as the unique trapezoidal white jade finger ring in Li Shimin's hand. After all, he had been thinking about it for a long time. When he picked up the Daxia Longque Dao, he had already become familiar with this special shape. The white jade finger puller never forgets it.

with his current abilities.

Just a white jade destroyer.

As long as you want, you can completely fill a room with White Jade Destruction Jue.but.

He happened to fall in love with the white jade destroyer in Li Shimin's hand at first sight. It was the first time he saw this unique shape of the white jade destroyer, so he was unwilling to find a substitute.

Only after getting the white jade destroying technique in Li Shimin's hand will it be possible to consider other destroying techniques.

did not expect.

Li Lizhi really brought it to him.

Li Huaian took over the white jade destroying weapon that was still warm, and finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at the destroying weapon.

The entire Dejue is simply carved. On the high side, that is, the side facing the palm, there is an artificial horizontal shallow groove on the outside. This shallow groove is used to hook the bow string.

This white jade destroyer is not only a tool for playing, but also a practical tool.

Tried it on my right thumb.

very suitable.

Li Huaian put away the white jade sword and asked Li Li.

"Changle, you gave me this white jade destroying weapon. Isn't the saint angry?"

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and realized that Li Shimin was indeed angry, but as a daughter, she knew that she was just pretending to be angry, so she shook her head and explained.

"Father doesn't have one. There are many of these kind of Destroyers. This one is just a recent acquisition by father, so he often holds it in his hand. After a while, when he loses interest, he will throw it aside. .”

"Giving it to Brother Huai'an is a good use of it."

Hearing that Li Shimin still had many destructive skills, he felt more at ease, and even felt much less guilty about the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword he had stolen.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so rich that it was not difficult for him to take advantage of this.

"Come on, let's go eat hot pot, and I'll take you to set off fireworks later."

"What are fireworks?"

"A beautiful, fleeting, colorful fireworks in the sky."

"Is it true? Changle wants to see it."

"eat first."

"it is good."

"Cui Yuniang."

"Li Youniang."

"Mother Wang Wen."

"."

"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."

"Get up."

As soon as she arrived at the glass conservatory, Li Lizhi met the seven women with five surnames who had arrived earlier.

So seven women with five surnames hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.

No matter how much Qi Wang, the fifth surname, looked down on the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty.

But in etiquette.

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was also higher than the five surnames and Qiwang families.

Therefore, the seven women with the five surnames should treat Li Lizhi as a monarch and minister.

After Li Lizhi asked the seven girls with the fifth surname to get up, she began to look at the seven girls with the fifth surname, with small expressions and postures, showing the majesty of Princess Changle.

"In two years' time, we will be sisters. We are both women from the Shouchang Hou Mansion. Although I take the title of the head wife, you don't need to care too much about this in the manor. Getting along well is the most important thing. .”

"You seven don't have to be too restrained when you see me. You can relax a little."

"Tonight is New Year's Eve. I am here at Shouchang Hou Mansion to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. Since we are all a family from now on, we shouldn't talk so much about etiquette."

Done.

Li Lizhi looked at Li Huaian.

His eyes signaled Li Huaian, as the husband of the house, if he wanted to say a few words. After all, they were the two masters of the house, a man and a woman.

It's just that it will take two years for her to become the legitimate mistress of Shouchang Hou.

"great."

Li Huaian gave Li Lizhi a thumbs up, feeling that the future lady of his Shouchang Hou Mansion was a bit cool.

then.

He waved to a group of beauties.

"Let's have dinner."

Talking is such a waste of time.

It's better to just cook.

I heard that hot pot can promote the relationship between men and women, especially spicy hot pot, but I don’t know if this is true.

"Ruoqiu, how many kinds of dipping sauces have you prepared?"

"Mr. Lang, the cook prepared two kinds according to your instructions, one with sesame sauce and one with oil dish."

"Changle, what kind of condiments do you like to eat with it?"

"Brother Huai'an, I want to try both."

"it is good."

"Where are you ladies?"

"."

"Peach Blossom, come sit here. On New Year's Eve, don't stand around."

In the glass greenhouse, Li Huaian and a group of beauties cooked hot pot, enhancing their feelings for each other.

after all.

It was the first time for him and the seven women with the fifth surname to meet each other. After tonight, they might sleep on the same bed soon. If they are not familiar with each other, it is inevitable that there will be some progress bars that are difficult to enter.

You can't force downloading.

The entire Shouchang Hou Mansion.

In addition to the glass conservatory, other places are also filled with the aroma of copper hot pot.

The maids who were not on duty for the time being gathered in the meeting hall of the courtyard where they lived, eating hot pot, singing songs, and spending this year's New Year's Eve.

Of course, we have not forgotten the guards who sent Li Lizhi to the Shouchang Hou Mansion. They were all arranged in rooms in the front yard and served with hot pot.

However, these guards of Li Lizhi have no vegetables, they all eat meat.

because.

Even the maids in the house only have a few vegetables on the table.

Until the hot pot is almost done.

Seeing that New Year's Eve was about to pass and the New Year was coming, Li Huaian proposed to go out to set off fireworks. He had not forgotten his promise to take Li Lizhi to set off fireworks.

"Brother Huai'an, how do you set off these fireworks?"

Li Lizhi looked at a huge firework placed in the yard, holding a fire certificate in her hand. She was a little at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the fireworks in front of her.

"Here, use the fire stick in your hand to light this fuse."

Li Huaian hugged Li Lizhi from behind, held Li Lizhi's flaming hand, and placed it on the fuse of the fireworks. He immediately saw sparks coming from the fuse.

see.

Li Huaian immediately picked up Li Lizhi and began to retreat quickly regardless of the exclamations in his arms.

until retreating to a safe location.

just stopped.

He reminded Li Lizhi in his arms.

"There will be loud noises after a while. If you are afraid, plug your ears first and slowly get used to it."

"Ah, loud noise?"

Li Lizhi didn't understand. She hadn't recovered from being hugged by Li Huaian and retreated quickly, let alone realized that she was still in Li Huaian's arms.
