The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the end of the year.
Anyang city is becoming more and more lively.
There are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, full of Chinese New Year flavor.
On the Yun Mansion, red lanterns were hung up everywhere and Spring Festival couplets were posted.
Shen Han, Mrs. Yun, and Xiao Cailing went out to buy some new year's goods.
Seeing the scene in front of me, the joy of family reunion lingered in my heart.
In the past few days, Shen Han did not continue to practice.
After shopping for the New Year's goods, we went home together and made snacks and desserts in the dining room.
"Cailinger, you are responsible for kneading the dough, and leaving the dough to Xiaohan.
You little girl, you’ve been learning how to make dim sum for so long, but you’re not as good at making dim sum as Xiaohan~”
This snack called dumplings is actually somewhat like glutinous rice balls.
Mix glutinous rice and flour and knead into dough.
Then pinch off a small lump of dough, fill it with some filling in the middle, and wrap it up.
These steps are similar to glutinous rice balls, except that in the end they are not cooked but fried in a pan.
When he was in Shen Mansion, Shen Han always had a lot of work to do during the Chinese New Year.
Among them, making dumplings, I have done it many times, and I am naturally very skillful.
Hearing Mrs. Yun's words, Xiao Cailing pouted, a little unconvinced.
"I want to compete with Master Han. I will make the dumplings. They will definitely be round!"
As she spoke, Cailing picked off a piece of dough and began to make dumplings.
After a while, a round and beautiful dumpling was indeed formed.
"Qiang Qiang~ Madam, young master, look at how round the colorful bell is~"
Cailing showed off somewhat ostentatiously, with a somewhat proud smile on her face.
Seeing her smiling happily, Shen Han picked up a dumpling he had kneaded and threw it into the pot, along with the one Cailing had kneaded.
When the two dumplings started to fry in the pan, I immediately discovered the problem.
"You saw it, Cai Ling'er~
Although the dumpling you pinched is very round, once it goes into the pot, the filling will be exposed~"
Mrs. Yun said with a smile.
The three of them were playing around and were in a really happy mood.
Living in Yun Mansion is actually much more comfortable.
The snacks and desserts were ready, and after picking them up, they hurried to the hall.
Today is the New Year's Eve, and the entire Yun family is busy preparing for a grand family banquet.
There were already more than twenty tables set up in the hall.
Cold dishes have been served on the table first, and they are elegantly presented and pleasing to the eye.
At first glance, it’s obvious that he is a master chef, and he has accumulated good skills over the years.
Looking at the dumplings he, Mrs. Yun, and Xiao Cailing made together, the gap was too big.
Shen Han was a little embarrassed, so he secretly extracted a few "colorful, fragrant and delicious" terms and applied them to the snacks made by the three of him.
Xu Shi.
It was already dark, fireworks were set off in many places, and occasionally there would be a few firecrackers.
It should make people feel noisy, but hearing this, there is an inexplicable peace of mind.
The Yun family's New Year's Eve dinner finally began.
Different from the rules of the Shen Mansion, the Yun family's New Year's Eve dinner can be served by the servants in the mansion.
Tonight, they don't have to serve the master. Everyone can drink and talk happily tonight.
When the banquet started, the head of the Yun family invited everyone to raise their glasses and have three drinks together.
"Everyone, after being closed for more than twenty days, everyone must be a little uneasy.
Perhaps you are still wondering whether a huge change has occurred at home.
Is it because of offending the Shen family that our Yun family will decline?
Tonight, the head of our family solemnly tells everyone that the Yun family is doing very well and will get better and better!
After this new year passes, next year, the Yun family will completely transform.
The Yin family and the Xu family are not taken seriously by our Yun family.
Even the arrogant and rude Shen family will come to beg our Yun family in the future and beg us to sell them pills.
If you don’t believe it, then take a look and see how we became the first family of Dan Dao in the Great Wei Dynasty! "
After saying this, everyone in the Yun family was extremely excited.
Especially some core members of the Yun family who knew the inside story were even more excited.
In the past, the Yun family could only rely on low-grade elixirs and high output to make profits.
Not only is it hard, but you can’t make much money.
If the Yun family had not had their own medicine garden, the price of the elixirs purchased by the Shen family would have been completely unprofitable.
But now, refining middle-grade elixirs is not only more profitable, but also less tiring.
The most important thing is that it is more respected.
I heard that you can refine middle-grade elixirs, and the people in the city will at least respectfully call you pharmacist.
Shen Han, Mrs. Yun, and Xiao Cailing were all placed at the main table.
Seeing the maid Cailing sitting at the main table, the Yun family felt a little strange.
But since the head of the Yun family wanted to make such an arrangement, he naturally had his reasons.
"Xiaohan, are you sure you want to go back to Shen Mansion?
Why bother with that bullshit clan performance appraisal?
Grandfather supports you, and you have offended the Shen family anyway, not least this time. "
Hearing the words of the head of the Yun family, Shen Han smiled and shook his head.
“I know my grandfather is thinking about me, but it’s really hard for me to be absent during the performance evaluation in this clan.
My father, the old prince of the Shen family, was already extremely dissatisfied with me regarding the break-up of the engagement.
Not returning this time gave them another reason to accuse me. Thinking about it, a label of unfilial piety fell on my head.
Even if I claim to be sick, they are afraid they will find a doctor to come and test me thoroughly. "
After hearing what Shen Han said, the head of the Yun family frowned, with some worry on his face.
Next to them, Mrs. Yun and Xiao Cailing also had worries in their eyes.
“Third Madam, Cailing, you don’t have to worry about me.
Now that the engagement has been cancelled, although the Shen family is a little resentful towards me, at least they are not as eager to force me to become disabled as before.
Besides, I still have the reputation of being a descendant of the Shen family, so I am always safe in front of others. "
The head of the Yun family sitting next to him thought for a moment and sent the two guards beside him to Shen Han.
"Xiaohan, you should call these two uncles. Their strength has reached the peak of fifth level and they have been in the Yun family for many years.
Let them accompany you when you return to Shen Mansion this time.
The Shen family holds the army in their hands and is powerful, but it is always safer to be accompanied by two guards. "
Shen Han didn't hesitate and accepted the kindness of the head of the Yun family.
"Give the Yun family some more time, Xiaohan, look at it, it won't be long before the Yun family's elixirs will become popular throughout the Wei Dynasty.
When the time comes, the Shen family will beg the Yun family to give them some elixirs. "
"I believe Grandpa, this day won't be long."
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the Yun family also invited a theater troupe.
It was a lively night of juggling and singing.
The night got a little deeper, and Shen Han was about to go back to his yard, but was stopped by Mrs. Yun.
I got Shi Yuezhu's sound transmission instrument from Shen Han, told Shi Yuezhu about Shen Han's return to Shen Mansion, and asked her to protect it.
As Mrs. Yun thought, Fairy Shi agreed without much hesitation.
It seemed that her treatment of Shen Han was really unusual.
