Carefree Scholar Chapter 280: New Year’s Eve

It's only three days before the New Year's Eve. The closer you get to the new year, the easier it seems to have trouble.

The civilians in Fucheng have seen several people arrested and dragged away with iron chains around their necks today.

They were all familiar faces. Poppi, who was not doing business all day, was imprisoned. I don't know how many people clapped and cheered.

This time, the other poppies in the city immediately settled down, and they shrank at home honestly. They didn't dare to go out and wander around. All those people were taken away. I heard that they belonged to King Liu Yan. Command, Scar will have to peel off the skin this time without dying. It's better for them to rest a bit. The ghost knows if the iron chain will suddenly be wrapped around their necks.

One of the theater troupes in the city suddenly closed down, and several others followed suit. Only the theaters in the city and the hook-and-loop business outside the city remained hot, and there was an endless stream of spectators.

Seeing that all the poppies who had trouble were taken away by the officials, including the old man Sun, everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Now, even if they drive the hooks all over Anxi County, they will not encounter any obstacles. Who would have thought that the young man standing behind them was the county lieutenant, and who else would Poppi dare not open his eyes?

Li Yi just asked the arrester in charge of this street to pay more attention to this place. After today, old man Sun and the others will probably not encounter any obstacles.

……

……

Maybe it’s because of the New Year. I haven’t seen the girl who was apprentice in the past few days. Recently, it’s a busy day for women and children, cleaning up the dust, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, steaming various shapes with flour, three On the tenth day, the house was already littered with lights.

No matter ancient or modern, the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year. On New Year's Eve, a family can gather for a reunion dinner, which means that the family will have a surplus at the end of the year, which is the happiest thing to do.

Today is a special day. On the contrary, the streets in the city are not very lively. The shops are only open for half a day. As soon as the sky darkens, they will return home to prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.

Close the door of the house, and there will be a world of its own inside.

To the bear children, today is the most happy day. As long as they don’t get too mad, parents choose to keep one eye open.

After night fell, there was a fire in the outer house. The bear children kept throwing bamboo into the fire, listening to the sound of the bamboo bursting and crackling, compared to the louder the bamboo was thrown in. .

This is the most traditional "firecracker". As for the good-looking fireworks, they are too expensive, and parents are reluctant to buy them. They can only see the white light shot from the yard of another house bursting in the sky. Every sound is Can cause a scream of bear children.

Li Yi didn't have time to watch the fireworks. Later generations were tired of watching all kinds of large-scale fireworks exhibitions. The scene here is too small to arouse his interest at all.

To prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, the family is busy in the kitchen.

For the only a dozen families left in the house, this may be the most extravagant New Year's Eve ever in my life.

Even the poorest family, there will be no shortage of chickens, ducks, and fish tonight. The family is not short of this amount of money. Usually, it is fine to be frugal. Now is not the time to be frugal.

Li Yi moved a small bench and sat in the corner to deal with the fresh fish that he bought this morning. How could there be less sweet and sour fish on such a grand day.

Xiaohuan was adding firewood to the stove. Ruyi blanched the cut pieces of meat in the water before taking them out. Put them on a plate for later use. Next to the table, Liu Ruyi’s knife and tofu were flying. She was cut into triangles with uniform size and thickness. This was the only job she could do in the kitchen.

Tonight, everyone except Ms. Liu Er will cook two good dishes. Xiaohuan has been trained by Li Yi. In this world, he has become a chef-level existence.

Not to mention Ruyi, her cooking skills are not even comparable to Li Yi, and within a short while, the table is full of dishes.

In the past, Xiaohuan or Ruyi used to cook. Li Yi and Liu Ruyi only need to move their mouths. It may be that they saw that all three of them in the family cooked by themselves. Ms. Liu Er insisted on showing off her cooking skills, and the result was that there was a plate of dark objects in the middle of a table of delicious dishes.

Li Yi can hardly imagine that these dark objects are Liu Ruyi's fried chicken chops. He obviously puts his flour-wrapped chicken in oil and fries it out. With such a simple step, I arrived at Miss Liu Er. There, this product appeared.

Li Yi picked up the chopsticks and praised that Ruyi's soup was cooked just right. Xiaohuan's cooking skills had improved again. He just didn't want to touch the pile of coke-like objects.

"Try the taste of the dishes I made." Ms. Liu Er picked up a piece of chicken chop in the small ring bowl, and stared at him closely.

Xiaohuan's pretty face turned white, and the thing she worried most had happened, and she ran away quickly under the pretext of her stomachache.

Looking at Liu Ruyi's eyes already looked at him, Li Yi's face changed, and before he could react, there was a dark object in the bowl.

Ms. Liu Er obviously doesn’t intend to let him go. It’s the first time she’s cooking. If she saves her face this time, next time she might retaliate from where she will come back. After considering the pros and cons, she feels a little bit burnt. It’s okay to eat something burnt. This is what grandma told him when he was young. Although it has never worked before, maybe it will take effect here?

A good fried chicken chop can taste the taste of coke. Regarding Miss Liu Er’s cooking skills, Li Yi has a new evaluation. Such a girl can only be married in later generations. Here, no A woman who can cook is afraid that her mother's family will be driven out the next day.

"How?" Liu Ruyi asked while looking at him.

"Not bad." Li Yi picked a piece again and put it in her bowl, and said: "You can try it too."

After tasting her masterpiece, Miss Liu Er went to rinse her mouth with a dark face. After Xiaohuan came back, she hurriedly put the charcoal back in her absence, patted her chest, and she felt lingering in her heart. .

Ms. Liu Er, who came back from gargle, threw those things into the trash can after changing hands, never mentioning the cooking~IndoMTL.com~ After eating, there were more activities.

Xiaohuan and a few close sisters didn’t know what secret activities they were doing. Li Yi lit the fireworks, which caused bear children to scream around him, and the sky above his head burst into light from time to time...

Since memory, the first time there is no Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve, it just passed. When the bell came in the dark night in the distance, history opened a new page and time officially entered Jinghe two years.

Li Yi held the sleeping little maid who was Shou Sui, gently placed it on the kang, covered the quilt, and quietly walked out.

The fireworks in the distance are still brilliant. There will be no ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and there is no need to worry about the intrusion of smog. Li Yi stood under the corridor and looked at the bright and extinguished night sky in the distance.

The last time I saw a similar scene, it was not this piece of sky.

A long gown was draped over his body. Li Yi retracted his gaze. When he turned around, he hugged the woman in front of him. In her slightly surprised eyes, he took her hand into the room.
