Yunshan Villa.
Listening to Li Zexuan's serious talk about the pig killing feast, Han Yuxi was also a little excited, but...
"My lord, although the pig-killing feast is nice, please don't forget that you are still grounded by His Majesty!"
Grounded, grounded...
The look of covetousness for the pig-killing feast that had just appeared on Li Zexuan's face immediately disappeared without a trace. Once this person becomes complacent, he easily forgets about himself. He is now a typical example of this!
"Okay then! Let Uncle Wang share all the pork with the farmers!"
Li Zexuan waved his hands in a dazed manner.
At first, he thought being grounded for two months was no big deal. He liked staying at home anyway, but now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he realizes how frustrating it is to not even be able to go down to Yunshan Mountain!
"Alas! Now if you don't want to be an otaku, you have to be an otaku!"
Li Zexuan sighed in his heart and said.
He still listened to what his father-in-law said to him before. He understood that he had caused too much trouble this time, so he took advantage of being grounded to stay low-key and dormant for a while, so that everyone could gradually forget about the Cui family. , is the wisest move!
During this period of time, Li Zexuan will definitely not make any tricks to give people any clues!
"Puch~!"
When Han Yuxi saw that Li Zexuan was as depressed as a child who didn't get a toy, she felt a bit of love in her heart. She couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, why are you so depressed? We can't hold a pig-killing feast this year. We can do it next year! Anyway, we celebrate the New Year every year!"
Li Zexuan shook his head helplessly, then forced a smile and said: "Haha! Madam, you don't have to comfort me. It's just a pig-killing feast. Your husband, I am not a greedy person!"
When Han Yuxi heard this, she smiled and thought disapprovingly: "If my husband, you are not a greedy person, then who else in the world has the nerve to call himself a greedy person?"
.....................
The 30th of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve!
After much anticipation, New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
Yan Lide and Yan Liben had moved their families to Yunshan two days ago to live with Yan Shaoning, because the imperial court would give officials a "New Year's Eve and Yuanzheng holiday" every year, which added up to 7 days, which was New Year's Eve and the three days before it. , and the first, second and third day of the lunar month, so Lao Yan and his family happened to be here for vacation!
Although Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong both have houses in Yunshan (allotted to them by Li Zexuan of course), they still have many relationships to leave in Chang'an and have no time to come over during the day.
Sun Simiao also rarely gave himself a day off today and suspended the free clinic activities at the foot of the mountain. Lao Hu's family has been working tirelessly to help him clean up the house and buy New Year's goods these days. Therefore, although the old Taoist has been running down the mountain recently, but this Chinese New Year Very well prepared!
At noon, Li Zexuan, the "host", invited this large group of people to his home and had a meal to welcome them to celebrate the New Year in Yunshan.
To be honest, there is no simple person who can be a "long-term resident" in Yunshan. They are all very knowledgeable, and most of them know each other, so they drank and chatted with each other during the dinner. lively!
The meal ended around the end of the meal. Li Zexuan lay at home for a while, then took Shan Bao out and walked towards the academy.
He is indeed confined at home now, but Yanhuang Academy can also be regarded as his home. The current situation is that as long as he doesn't go down to Yunshan, no one will be upset with him!
After entering the academy, Li Zexuan went straight to the cafeteria. He found Wang Dahu, the manager of the cafeteria, and said, "Dahu, are the flour and ingredients that I asked you to prepare earlier ready? Huh? Are you here, Erhu?"
But it was Li Zexuan who saw Wang Erhu who was busy not far away!
When Wang Erhu heard the sound, he ran over quickly and said, "Well! Young Master! The holiday starts today at Zuixian Tower, so I'm here to help my brother! By the way, the whole family is having a reunion at the academy!"
In modern times, it stands to reason that during the Chinese New Year, the best business is in the hotel and catering industry. Generally, hotel and restaurant employees will not take holidays at this time, because many people are too lazy to cook New Year's Eve dinner, so they will spend the New Year together in hotels.
But it was different in ancient times!
In this era, the concept of family is still very important to people. During the Chinese New Year, basically no one would go out to have family reunion dinner, so Li Zexuan simply gave everyone in Zuixian Tower a holiday!
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Erhu, have you brought your father and your mother over?"
Wang Erhu quickly waved his hands and said: "How can this be possible! This is an academy, how can my parents come in casually? I asked my father and mother to wait at the village house at the bottom of the mountain. After my brother and I finish our work, we will go to the bottom of the mountain to find them. Let’s have a reunion dinner together!”
With a "pop" sound, Li Zexuan slapped Wang Erhu on the back of the head, and heard him say: "It's such a cold weather now, how can you think of leaving the two elders at the foot of the mountain? Although Yanhuang Academy does not allow outsiders to come in at will, you and I Dahu, you are not an outsider! Get your parents over here now! Your family happens to be having a reunion with so many students in the academy today!"
By the way, who wouldn’t want to reunite the whole family if possible? But the academy is a holy place for saints. In fact, outsiders can enter just by asking? That's why Wang Erhu didn't dare to take his parents directly to the academy!
At this time, after listening to Li Zexuan's words, Wang Erhu and Wang Dahu both looked touched. They bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
After that, Wang Erhu ran out of the canteen in a hurry.
Only then did Wang Dahu have time to answer Li Zexuan's previous question, "Master, the flour and ingredients you want are all ready here! The quantity is definitely enough!"
Li Zexuan laughed and said: "Haha! Okay! Put everything on the table, and today I will let the students have a dumpling-making competition!"
This is the Chinese New Year. How can we call it Chinese New Year if we don’t make dumplings?
Wang Dahu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Dumplings? Chief, what are dumplings? At first I thought you were making wontons!"
"Wontons? Ahem! In fact, the two are almost the same, they just have different names! From now on, it will be dumplings, not wontons! You must eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year!"
Li Zexuan explained hurriedly.
In fact, the name dumplings did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, but there were dumplings in the Tang Dynasty!
"Today's wontons are shaped like a dying moon, and they are eaten all over the world." This is the earliest saying about dumplings in ancient Chinese literature, written by Yan Zhitui, a writer and educator in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Although Yan Zhitui said "wontons", he was talking about wontons in the shape of "Yan Yue". So, aren't wontons in the shape of "Yan Yue" just dumplings?
And the reason why he said this is because at his time, there was no name for "dumplings".
By the mid-Tang Dynasty, dumplings had a new name: Lao Wan.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from wontons, people began to knead this stuffed food into the shape of a crescent moon, which is actually a triangle with two pointed corners, and called it "jiaozi". There is a record of "various colored buns and various colored dumplings" in "Old Stories". Since both "jiaozi" and "dumplings" have appeared, the name "dumplings" appears naturally.
Therefore, "dumplings" were officially named in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Dahu nodded confusedly, and Li Zexuan said to Sanbao: "Sambo, ask Mo Zhong and the others to inform all the students currently in the academy to come to the cafeteria to participate in the dumpling-making competition!"
"Yes! Master!"
