Although New Year's Eve didn't come, because Wei Shan went home, the meal in the evening was particularly sumptuous, even richer than the reunion dinner in previous years.
There are abalone, five-finger peach chicken, braised goose, braised lamb with radish, braised rabbit meat, taro pork belly, fried squid with peas, braised squab, steamed grouper, steamed blue crab, and chrysanthemum soup.
Among them, abalone, grouper, green crab and squid were all delivered by the ancient shopkeeper. They are all fresh seafood, each one is particularly large, and the abalone has been cooked long ago.
In fact, the county next to Shaxi County is close to the sea. Seafood is not difficult to buy, but it is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
However, since Mrs. Xuanyuan moved to the villa, the weak family has often been able to eat fresh seafood, and even stored a lot of valuable dry goods, such as bird's nests and sea cucumbers.
Mrs. Xuanyuan was generous. Every time she got something good, she would give a share to the weak.
However, when Xiuxuan went to the mountains to study, she often brought fruits and vegetables grown at home and wild products dug from the mountains. Many of them were grown or raised with her spiritual power. Eating them can strengthen the body and prolong life.
Although Shenjun Xuanyuan would let Old Madam Xuanyuan eat two fruits that he had nourished with his spiritual power every day, it was not because Xiuxuan was bragging. She felt that the fruits she planted or ripened with her spiritual power were definitely better than those of Shenjun Xuanyuan!
After all, her spiritual power is the power of vegetation, which is best for plants, and she understands plants better than Xuanyuan Shenjun.
Xuanyuan Shenjun may be better than her in many aspects, and a grown man can embroider better than her, but when it comes to plants, she is better!
So if we really talk about value, the seafood that Ruoxuan gave to Mrs. Xuanyuan is more valuable than the seafood, but outsiders don't know that.
But Old Madam Xuanyuan knew that when she was young, she fought in all directions, and her body had long been suffering from various ailments. She thought she would die soon, but since she ate the fruit given to her by her grandson, her physical ailments have become worse day by day. Better, now, she is a healthy old man.
And the fruit Xuan Bao gave her felt very good after eating it, which was even better than the fruit given to her by her grandson.
She knew it all, she just saw through it without saying anything.
There were some things that she just knew and could not let others know. There were some secrets that she planned to take into the coffin.
Ruoxuan brought an abalone to Ruoshan and put it on a plate: "Uncle Wu, try it."
That abalone is half the size of a plate!
Ruoshan knew that life at home was easy, but he didn't know it was so easy.
Ruoshan works as a medicine boy in a medical clinic. Since the weather has been cold, the medical clinic has been overcrowded every day. In the past few months, he has been so busy that he has no time to eat, let alone rest and go home.
After Ruoxuan woke up, he went back home once, and then he never had time to go home. Although he heard about the situation at home, he was still a little shocked when he saw the change with his own eyes.
The Fang family was wealthy, so they would also buy abalone and other seafood for New Year's Eve dinner, but those abalones were only as big as a small spoon, and I heard they cost a hundred cents each.
This bowl with a big mouth is probably only half a pound. How much silver does it cost?
And the bigger the abalone, the more expensive it is, especially if it weighs several taels, it costs several taels of silver, right?
He works as a medicine boy in a hospital and only has three taels of silver a year, which is not enough to buy an abalone!
Ruoshan hurriedly placed the abalone in front of Xuan Bao: "Uncle Wu doesn't like eating it, so Xuan Bao will eat it."
Ruoshan saw a few abalones in the casserole, but he couldn't bear to eat them. He should save these good things for his nephews and nieces!
There is so much meat tonight, he can only eat the rest!
Mrs. Lei smiled and said: "You eat it, Old Five! One abalone for each person is just enough. You are blessed with Xuan Bao. Remember to love Xuan Bao more in the future."
After hearing this, Ruoshan said: "What did mother say? Isn't it right to love Xuan Bao so much? But are these all rewards given to Xuan Bao by the emperor?"
When the fourth brother entered the city, he told him that Xuan Bao had received a reward from the emperor. Whenever he thought about it in the hospital, he would be as happy as if he had received a reward.
Ruoxuan brought another piece of mutton to Ruoshan: "No, this is what Grandma Xuanyuan gave to us. Uncle Wu, please try this."
"And this blue crab, this one is so creamy and plump!"
Ruoxuan kept serving dishes to Uncle Wu, and the bowls and plates in front of Ruochuan were piled as high as a hill.
"Enough! Enough! Uncle Wu can't eat that much!" Ruochuan refused again and again.
Wu Shui helped Wu Xuan cut the abalone into small pieces and put it in front of her. He said sourly: "You can eat it if you want it, Lao Wu! I didn't know that I thought Xuan Bao was your biological child!"
Ruochuan hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, how did you know? Ruoxuan is my daughter, my own daughter!"
Others also cheered, "Nonsense, Ruoxuan is my daughter, my biological daughter! Fourth son, don't even think about monopolizing Ruoxuan!"
"Yes, Xiuxuan is also my daughter!"
The weak Xuan's head was so big that she hurriedly slid down the stool and wanted to grab one for everyone. It's not easy to be a girl!
Mrs. Lei motioned to Xuan Bao to eat by herself, then pretended to be angry and cursed, and the family had a lively reunion dinner in advance.
But halfway through the meal, an unexpected guest came.
"Ruohe! Ruohe, please save me! The people from the gambling house want to take me back, and my parents don't care about me anymore! I finally escaped!" A woman with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes ran in , as soon as I entered the room and saw the dishes on the table, my eyes widened!
Oh my God!
So much meat!
The weak family has indeed become so rich!
It’s not even the Chinese New Year yet, and you can eat so much meat!
Mrs. Zhao's eyes shone, and she stretched out her hands to grab the abalone on the table. The whole family saw that her dark right hand was missing two fingers.
Ruoxuan had a dark face. She imitated Xuanyuan Que and waved her sleeves, and Mrs. Zhao flew out!
She felt that it was quite majestic and refreshing to be like this, especially when dealing with the big bad guy!
At this time, two tall and powerful men rushed in and punched and kicked Zhao.
"You bitch, how dare you run away! Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
Mrs. Zhao huddled on the ground and wailed: "Don't hit me! This is my husband's house, and they have money! I'll pay back the money! Ruohe, help! Help!"
When they heard this, they stopped and looked at the weak family members.
The whole family of the weak family came out, and people in the village also came to watch the fun.
Ruohe's face was livid with anger: "I am not your husband, you have been divorced long ago."
Mrs. Lei was almost furious: "Bah! Who is your husband? Don't talk nonsense! You have nothing to do with my family anymore."
Mrs. Lei said to the two men again: "This person has nothing to do with our family. Take him away quickly!"
Mrs. Zhao cried and shouted: "Mom, I know I was wrong! Don't deny me! I will change it in the future, and I will never gamble again! Please help me pay them five hundred taels of silver! I will give it to you for the rest of my life, mother." Just be a cow or a horse, wuwu, I don’t want to be captured by them! It’s too miserable! wuwu.”
