NOVEL WEB Chapter 87 Have you never eaten Yuanxiao?
"You two, big and small, what are your looks like?"
Mrs. Cao's eyebrows were soft, she hugged Yingying into her arms, and said softly, "I always feel that your smile is not that simple."
"It's really not that simple." Chang Maoming said with a sneer.
"Then Song Liang is not a good person. He has been jumping up and down in the past six months, and the money has been spent like water. Finally, he has planned something. But before he can take this position, he has made trouble in the ears of the royal family. I think he will never be able to sit in this position!"
"What do you mean by your husband?" Ms. Cao's mind was a little confused.
"I won't talk to you anymore. You can coax Yingying, and I'll go find my elder brother." Chang Maoming said and stood up to leave.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Cao shook her head and said softly. She was just a housewife and didn't understand the affairs of the court at all.
"Auntie, the Queen gave me a lot of things." Yingying pointed to the small box that was brought back with her.
"Brought back from the palace?" Mrs. Cao opened the box with some surprise. Most of them contained some common rewards in the palace.
Some dried fruits, some fruits, some snacks.
Although the snacks made in the palace are good, many of the fruits and the like are provided by the Chang family, so they are not too rare.
The palace had already given Mrs. Chang some of those dried fruits, and she would also distribute them to her children.
But other things are less common.
Several bolts of beautiful cloth, a set of headbands for children, and a pair of gold bracelets.
Gold bracelets are not rare, and no rich official lady has one, but this is an item from Dauchi, and the carvings on it are amazingly exquisite.
Even if it is reserved for Yingying to be used as a dowry in the future, it will be fine.
"Oh my god, why are there so many things!" Ms. Cao said in shock as she clutched the pair of bracelets and thought about her chest.
"Not as many as Long Baoer." Yingying explained. "Only hers..."
Cao Yingying couldn't say it, so she could only give a rough outline with her hands.
Mr. Cao nodded.
"Then are you envious? Are you angry?"
Cao Yingying nodded, "I'm envious, but not angry."
When Long Baoer supported her today, she was stunned for a while.
Obviously, her relationship with Long Baoer is not good.
Long Baoer doesn't even have anything to do with her. This belongs to her aunt and uncle's sister from the Chang family... It's so confusing, I can't figure it out. But Song Qian'er is her aunt's daughter.
In terms of close relationship, Song Qian'er should naturally be closer, but in fact, Song Qian'er never looked down on her, and would bully her, scold her, and falsely accuse her when he saw her.
Although she and she usually quarreled and competed in various competitions, when Song Qian'er scolded her, Long Bao'er stood up.
She unilaterally announced that Long Baoer would be her biological sister from now on. Song Qian'er is not her cousin.
Since she is her biological sister and got good things, how could she be angry?
Mrs. Cao looked at Yingying and nodded happily.
"My Yingying has become sensible." Mrs. Cao hugged Yingying again.
Long Baoer got a lot of things, that's for sure.
Originally, there was no one Yingying wanted to meet, so she just took him to play with her.
Ms. Cao was in a great mood.
"Are Yingying hungry? Today we want to eat Yuanxiao."
"want!"
"Then do you want to eat with Long Bao'er?"
"want!"
"Let's go!" Mrs. Cao took Yingying's hand and walked towards the dining room.
As for the letter from her brother Cao Wei, it had long been forgotten.
At this time, Long Baoer was being held by his brothers in turn to watch the lanterns in the yard.
Although Long Baoer got a lotus lantern in the palace, the lantern that she and Cao Yingying stood looking at at the window was also taken down later.
It was a fine fired porcelain lantern. It looks like a big peach, with green leaves at the bottom and a touch of pink on the top. Just looking at it, I feel that this peach must be very sweet and delicious.
But unfortunately, although the lantern was taken down, they forgot to take it when they left.
I must go and get it back another day.
Although the lanterns in the palace are beautiful, the lanterns made by my brothers are also very good.
This is what she did by watching her brothers love you with little effort!
At this time, there were lanterns hanging on the branches and under the eaves of the entire Zhenyuan Uncle's Mansion, and it was much more lively than before she left.
In fact, Long Baoer didn't know that these were bought and won by her brothers in the market after she followed her uncle and aunt into the palace.
If their sister is not at home, can they still stay at home?
Then we must go out into the wild!
Firstly, I was having fun, but secondly, I was worried that my sister would be confused by the lanterns in the palace, so I simply bought more and hung them all over the yard.
Long Baoer clapped hard, "It looks good!"
The folk lanterns may not be as exquisitely made and made of luxurious materials as those in the palace, but they are all kinds of strange and varied, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
Fortunately, both the Chang family and the Xue family had money, and the brothers spared no expense and bought back all the tricks they had that were not the same as what they had.
Only then did the courtyard become bustling and lively.
Long Baoer was held in his arms while watching the lanterns, and saw Cao Yingying coming with Cao from a distance. Long Baoer waved towards them.
Cao Yingying let go of Cao's hand and ran over, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"Cousin, look, the lanterns are more beautiful than those in the palace!"
The brothers' faces were suddenly full of pride, and their chests were pushed out hard.
Chang Chun thought it was funny, and just in time the kitchen manager came to ask, so Chang Chun nodded, "Let's cook it!"
Yuanxiao is eaten on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Chang family is no exception. Moreover, the Yuanxiao served by the Chang family is more delicious than those outside.
Others just use white sugar and white sesame seeds, or mashed black sesame seeds and seasoned with pork, or crushed roasted peanuts as a filling, or red bean puree as a filling.
But in the Chang family, sauces made from various fresh fruits are prepared and frozen into fillings, and then rolled in layers of glutinous rice flour, and that’s the delicious Yuanxiao.
There are five or six kinds of Yuanxiao in the Chang family when there are few, and there are more than ten kinds when there are many. And they are not cooked separately, but are poured into a big pot and cooked together.
It’s completely unpredictable what kind of fillings you’ll get in the end, and every one of them is a surprise.
So everyone is looking forward to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"Long Bao'er, what kind of Yuanxiao stuffing do you like to eat?"
Long Baoer thought hard, "What is Lantern Festival?"
It seemed like her uncle and brothers had never given her anything to eat!
Next to him, Yi'er had the same confused look. When he was taken away, he had no memory. As for the years he was trapped in the small mountain village, let alone the Lantern Festival, he was just like a domesticated animal.
Naturally, I have never eaten anything called Yuanxiao.
"Long Bao'er, you haven't eaten before?" Cao Yingying was shocked, then she patted her chest, "You can eat more later, and I can give you my share."
