The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 162 The Belated New Year’s Eve Dinner
"King Changling!"

Bai Changhe told everyone what happened in court that day. Everyone was frightened when they heard it, and they even said goodbye!Just when he was supposed to apply cesspit gold to his face, he actually wanted to chop off my head. The Liao people didn't beat me to death, but I was almost killed by these officials.

Mr. Jing muttered: "This Prince Changling is a good man. If we have the chance, we should thank him very much."

Jing Li was confused: "It is said that this prince has always been mysterious and elusive, and he is not related to us. How could he suddenly come to our aid?"

Bai Changhe couldn't explain why, but Song Datong said with a big tongue: "I guess we are all from the military, and we can't stand the fake academic behavior of those rotten literati!"

Jing Li thought about it and felt that this was the case, otherwise it would not make sense. How could the powerful King Changling care about ordinary people like them?

When seeing Bai Changhe off the next day, Mr. Jing insisted on asking Bai Changhe to bring a thank-you gift to King Changling, which was two pieces of excellent ginseng and two pieces of wolf skin.

The old man sighed: "His uncle, we mud-legged people are not lucky enough to meet that prince, so I ask you to bring a message to say that we people at the foot of the old Beishan Mountain are grateful for his great kindness!"

Song Datong listened to the old man talking about an old man, and when he thought of the graceful King Changling, he couldn't help but find it funny. Bai Changhe kicked him twice, making him hold back his laughter.

After Bai Changhe and the others left, Jing Li said to everyone: "Tonight, we will arrange our family's New Year's Eve dinner. This is the first New Year's Eve dinner for us to bid farewell to the past. It must be lively."

Everyone immediately started working enthusiastically. Several door panels were pieced together, one end was chopping bones, and the other was slicing meat.

Chef Fan stood in front of the big iron pot. When the oil temperature rose, he put the sauce into the pot with a sizzling sound, and then put two large pots of fat goose into the pot. Today we will stew the big goose in the iron pot.

Jing Damei put the stretched noodles into the pot, and there was a sizzling sound in the oil pot. Xiao Su brought another pot of dough: "Second aunt, let's fry some twists for the kids as snacks!"

Su's side sliced ​​and shredded the pig's head and ears that had been stewed for a long time, and Fat Aunt minced the ginger and garlic and poured it with red oil. Dish after dish of fragrant and delicious cold dishes was ready.

The little Zhao Pidan and the other kids sniffed for a while to see if the goose in the pot was cooked, and then went to see Fat Aunt making cold dishes. Finally, they stopped in front of the big oil pot where Jing Damei fried rice dumplings and twists. foot.

Jing Damei quickly picked up a plate of twists and handed it to several children: "Eat it quickly, don't look back and let the oil splash on your face."

Fan Ershao is also very busy. He has inherited the mantle of his father and is making steamed vegetables. There are two large steamer baskets piled high. There are pork belly, eight treasures, longan with sand meat, steamed fish, Jingli also specially I told you that this is the first year that we can have a bumper harvest with pumpkin, taro, and sweet potatoes.

The old blacksmith turned over the roasted lamb and said with a smile: "We have to make a few more pots this year. There are too few pots and it is not enough."

In the school and the meeting hall, several charcoal basins were placed early, with copper pots placed on them. The bone soup in the pots was gurgling milky white. A large round table was surrounding the pots, and various meat and vegetables were placed on them.

That's right!eat hot pot!Jingli felt that there were so many people waiting for each dish to be cooked and served. Not to mention that it wouldn’t taste good when it was cold. Chef Renfan and the others couldn’t sit down together, which made the whole family unorganized. So they just imitated eating hot pot on a snowy day. It was warm and warm, and I ate lively.

Zhu Chengcai and the children were busy setting up tables and benches. Zhao Orion from the other end shouted: "Jinlong, are there enough stools?"

Wang Jinlong put a stack of stools on both sides: "It's not enough! Grandpa, I have to make at least ten more."

Normally, we eat while standing and squatting, but this is not the Chinese New Year, so we need to have a sense of ritual. We had to do it a long time ago, but the Liao people disrupted the rhythm.

Zhao Lihu and Ma Liu and other young men sawed and nailed the stool. After that, the boys polished the edges and corners, and the stool was ready.

Shen Huwei and others shook off the snow, dragged a bowl-sized bamboo pole in, and then came out with a saw and sawed a bowl.Mrs. Zhang quickly moved baskets of freshly made bamboo bowls to Xiao Cuiniang and the others. Xiao Cuiniang and Mrs. Qin were busy washing the dishes.

Xiao Su came over and said to Mrs. Qin: "Auntie, go and have a rest. I'll wash you!"

Mrs. Qin pulled the bamboo bowl in the water: "Go and do your business quickly. Take a look at where Xiao Tao'er and the others are going crazy. It's time to eat. Don't run away without finding anyone!"

Jingli brought the soaked mushrooms to the table and happened to see Lao Wangtou chopping bamboo strips. She quickly said to Lao Wangtou: "Master Wang, please chop more chopsticks. I can't see enough!"

Lao Wangtou held a knife in one hand and held the bamboo strips in the other and flew around: "Okay, I will cut it for you."

Mr. Jing knocked on a broken gong: "It's time to eat! Call all the little ones over for dinner!"

"Aliniang, hurry up and eat. Let me come here!" Old Mrs. Fan was about to get the knife in Su's hand.

Su quickly dodged: "No, no, I have two more plates to finish cutting. Madam, please stop fussing. Let's go. You go first."

Mrs. Ge came to coax the two of them away: "Come on, come and eat for me. Today is our New Year's Eve dinner. No one can miss it, hurry up!"

The school and the meeting hall are separated, and the partition door in the middle is also opened. People on both sides are crowded. Mr. Jing smiles with an old wrinkle on his face: "We have to build a house quickly in the spring, otherwise we won't be able to sit here even for dinner." , it’s over, the kids have to start families and get wives, and then it will be even more crowded with people.”

Chef Fan put the cooked big fat goose on the table: "It's great to have so many people! Our family just needs to be prosperous!"

The people in Jingjia Village were full and seated. Mr. Jing was holding the wine glass and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door from outside.

Who?Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they immediately picked up the weapons in the corner. Guard Shen and Uncle Tiesheng went to open the door. Standing at the door were Wang Youcai's family, Wang Dun's daughter-in-law, Shuizhen's wife, Tian Gengzi's old lady, and village head Wang Er. The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiuzhen.

Jing Damei saw a few people and hurriedly greeted them: "Ah, aunt, Sister Shuizhen, and aunt, why are you here?"

Wang Youcai's family was carrying two chickens: "I've been so busy these days that I can't even touch the ground. I'll bring you something if I have some free time today."

Jing Damei scolded a few people: "Just come here. We are all neighbors, not outsiders. What are you doing with things!"

Tian Gangzi's voice trembled slightly: "Your family are all good people. They helped our old Tian family take revenge. If you don't bring something here, I will feel very unhappy."

Jing Dafu came over and took the things: "Auntie, it's the New Year, let's be happy! Come on, sit inside."

When several people saw that someone was eating, they hurriedly wanted to leave, but Jing Damei and his brother forcibly pulled them in and sat down.

Mr. Jing raised his wine glass again when another knock on the door came from outside.

Who?Jing Li stood up and went to open the door. When she opened the courtyard door, she was dumbfounded.
