six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 173 Recognition
On New Year's Eve, heavy snow fell early in the morning, decorating the world in white, and it was quite a New Year's atmosphere.

Crackling, Su Liu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, opened the curtains, looked out through the glazed window, and looked up to see the square eaves, covered with white snow, which is really beautiful.

The sound of firecrackers was exploding, and Su Liu knew that it was Mrs. Chen who was offering sacrifices to various gods and Buddhas early in the morning. There was nothing wrong with her, so she simply put up the window, retracted into the bed again, and lay on the bed watching the goose feathers and snow fall outside the window. Falling down, thinking about the trivial things after coming to this world.

Although she has only been in this world for more than half a year, many things have happened, such as being beaten, taking her mother away, opening a stall, making donkey-hide gelatin, getting acquainted with powerful people, and even tied herself to a general husband.

Everything seems to be going well, but it is unavoidable that there are various calculations and struggles. Although it is a little annoying to face those top relatives, it is not a worry. It is much better than life in modern times.

At least she now has a house, a car, a future husband and money.

It's just that with the exposure of Ning Guang's identity, she knows that the new year may not be so smooth, and the road ahead is long. If she chooses him, she will choose his life, and she will participate in it even if she doesn't like it.

Unless, Ning Guang never leaves here for the rest of his life, but is it possible?

impossible!
An eagle should live on the grassland and soar in the sky, so that it can be called an eagle!
"Is Miss Liu'er up yet?"

Just when Su Liu was thinking wildly, a female voice sounded outside, it was Zhong Cainiang.

"Well, the window is up." Ice Tea was a little surprised, and knocked on the door again: "Miss, are you up yet?"

"Get some water." Su Liu sat up and stretched.

It seems that I have fallen too much. When I first came here, what did I not do by myself?Now I have to wait for someone to wash my face.

After grooming and tidying up, Su Liu saw Zhong Cainiang standing outside the door, twitching the corner of her mouth, and said, "Miss Zhong got up so early? Are you feeling better?"

Zhong Cainiang was recognized by Ning Guang as his righteous sister two days ago, and she fell ill, but only two days later, that pretty face turned into a pointed oval face, looking a little pale, and even more lovable.

"Thanks to the girl, she is already well." Zhong Cainiang looked haggard and blessed Su Liu.

"This disease comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. Miss Zhong should be more careful. Now it's snowing heavily, and it's cold, so it's warmer in the house. You need to take good care of it." Su Liu smiled lightly.

"I have something to say to the girl." Zhong Cainiang seemed impatient with Su Liu's words, and said anxiously.

"Today's New Year's Eve, there are a lot of people in my family, and I still have a lot of work to do. I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with Miss Zhong. If you're not in a hurry, let's talk about it later in the year."

Su Liu left a sentence, ignored Zhong Cainiang's expression, and walked straight to the front hall.

What Zhong Cainiang wanted to say, she could probably guess, nine out of ten she wanted to ask her to let her stay with Ning Guang, and she didn't want to marry.It's a big Chinese New Year, such a festive day, Su Liu doesn't want to listen to these irritable words to make her worry.

Seeing this, Zhong Cainiang bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists as she watched Su Liu leave.

After breakfast, Su Liu and Mrs. Chen discussed the New Year's Eve menu with Mrs. Cui and explained the trivial matters before going to the outer courtyard.

Ning Guang and others with Tietou were posting couplets, while Chen Ye and Su Xiao were laughing and laughing, seeing her, Su Xiao saluted carelessly, but Chen Ye bowed his hands in a serious way .

When Tietou and the others saw Su Liu, they also called out Miss Liu'er, that is, the most ugly Zhang Xiaosi, although he was reluctant, he also invited him.

Su Liu smiled and saluted, said hello, and didn't talk too much.

She will not try to please them, after all, everyone has the right to like her, and she cannot control everyone to like herself.She also knew that these people disapproved of her, and felt that her status was not worthy of Ning Guang.

Her background was a flaw, and she couldn't change it.

Whether these people like it or hate it, what she can do is to respect each other, if they are too deliberate, it will be more artificial.

Now it's good to maintain face like this, if you respect me a foot and I respect you a foot.

Sun Xiucai helped to write the couplets. Many of the couplets in Da'ao Village were written by Sun Xiucai, and most of the people who begged would send some eggs or something as thanks.

"Actually, you should write our family's couplet this year, so as to be honored by the General." Su Liu said to Ning Guang in a low voice.

Ning Guang raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly: "My handwriting is naturally better than his."

Su Liu snorted lightly, why didn't I see you write it so well?

After posting the couplets, Su Liu took a basket and went to the field. Now the peppers are a little mature, and it is estimated that they will be harvested in the spring. On New Year's Eve, it is natural to try something new.

She just thought about making a hot pot at night. It's the most comfortable for everyone to eat hot pot together in cold weather.

The days are short and the nights are long, and the day passes quickly. At the second quarter of the hour, Su Liu starts to cook the New Year's dinner.

Now they have cooks and servants in their family, so Su Liu and the others don't need to do these jobs, but Chen is a restless and traditional woman who always thinks that it is New Year's Eve when she cooks for her family all year round. atmosphere of.

Su Liu didn't stop her either. After all, cooking is not a rough job. Cooking soup for the family is also a happy thing. She also cooks herself.

Because she wanted to make a hot pot, Su Liu had already ordered the kitchen to boil the soup base with big bones, and took out several hot pots, which were specially built at the blacksmith shop in the town. The bottom could put carbon, and there was a chimney in the middle. Outside the bottom is a circle of copper plates for meat and vegetables.

This kind of hot pot is what she thought of when she went to Yunnan to eat yak hot pot in her previous life. It is convenient and simple.

Su Liu first boiled the base soup and poured it into the fire boiler, then put the chopped red pepper, garlic, green onion, and ginger slices in one by one, and then simmered it with charcoal, and prepared other seasonings deftly .

Because it is the Chinese New Year, the ingredients prepared are very sufficient, not to mention the chicken, duck and fish. Ning Guang had nothing to do a few days ago, and he led Tietou and others to the mountains to hunt, and they even hunted a wild boar And civet cats, that's real game, are all boiling in the pot now.

"Achi, achi." Two girls, Iced Tea and Ya'er, walked into the kitchen with a large basket of vegetables, and immediately choked and sneezed wildly, "Miss, what does it smell like?"

Su Liu said with a smile: "This is a good thing. I'll keep it if you want to eat it after eating it. Go and make a meal."

The New Year's dinner was eaten in the front hall, and there were three tables, one table was Chen and Su Liu and the girls, one was Ning Guang and Tie Tou, and the other was Cui's family.

The dinner is very sumptuous, and the meaning is also good. There are fish every year (more), lotus root every year (yes), fried double happiness balls, gold and silver full house (steamed buns) and so on. The most surprising thing is , There are also a lot of green vegetables with water droplets.

"How can you grow vegetables in this weather?" Tietou was surprised.

"Of course it can't, but my elder sister can grow it. This is grown in our greenhouse." Su Xiao proudly showed off: "My elder sister came up with it. It's called greenhouse vegetables."

Tietou looked at Ning Guang, as if he was asking about the authenticity of Su Xiaohua.

Ning Guang nodded, with pride in his eyes.

Tie Tou and Luo Zi looked at each other, and they both saw prudence in their eyes. How many green vegetables can be grown in Daqi in winter?But they didn't say much, they were only attracted by the pot of things on the dining table.

"this is?"

"This is called spicy hot pot."

The iron head took a closer look, and there was a crescent-shaped thing that was red inside, mixed among the green onions, and the red and green were really beautiful.

But when he got closer, he felt a burst of pungent and pungent smell penetrated into the tip of his nose, itching, and almost sprayed into the pot. Fortunately, Luo Ziyan pulled him away quickly, otherwise he would be rude.

"Miss Liu'er, what kind of trick is this?" Luo Zi picked up a pepper with chopsticks and asked.

"It's called pepper. It's a food from a foreign land. We don't have it in Daqi, but next year, we will have it." Su Liu said with a faint smile. When peppers are planted, Daqi will have peppers in the future.

Several people looked at each other, and Ning Guang said: "It's a good thing." The chili is spicy enough to eat in winter, and it also warms up the body, and it can be eaten with rice, which is really good.

Since Ning Guang said so, Tietou and the others naturally wouldn't question it. After Ning Guang put down his chopsticks, they picked up a piece of meat. . .

"Ahem, it's so spicy, water, give me water."

"Cough, water."

"Mom, what is this?"

Su Xiao and Chen Ye smirked maliciously for a while, watching Tietou and the others scurrying around like flies looking for water.

Fortunately, Su Liu was well prepared. The iced tea and Ya'er were served with icy cold honey water, and she took a few big mouthfuls before she recovered.

The chili has just been boiled, so it’s actually not very spicy. Tietou and the others were not used to it for the first time, but after eating it, they found it interesting, especially when paired with strong wine, the spiciness mixed with the wine fell into the stomach , hot and spicy, that is called eating a profuse sweating, straight breath.

"Miss Liu'er has a pair of skillful hands." Luo Zi held up the bowl and wanted to respect Su Liu: "This New Year's Eve dinner is delicious, I, Luo Zi, respect you."

Su Liu was not a coy one either, she stood up with a smile, and said, "I wish you all a happy new year and all the best in the coming year." The two clinked glasses in the air, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Okay. Miss Liu'er, I, Tie Tou, will respect you too." Tie Tou also stood up.

"I wish you all the best of luck."

This started, the rest of the people also toasted one after another, and finally Zhang Xiaosi hesitated, but it was an apology wine, Su Liu didn't bother with him, and simply drank it.

After drinking a few bowls of water and wine, even though she drank fruit wine, her cheeks were as bright as peaches and plums.

Ning Guang looked at her from a distance, his eyes sparkled, obviously very happy.

He is really happy, although he has the final say on whether the person he chooses is worthy or not, but he also hopes that she can be recognized. Now, Tietou and the others finally see that she is good, and she is also sensible to save face, and has not brushed her off. His face, he is very happy.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Su Liu raised her chin proudly, and said with her eyes: "Xiao Mian, I've given you enough face."

The two exchanged glances, and in the eyes of Zhong Cainiang beside her, she didn't know whether it was because of being hot or something, she coughed until tears flowed out, feeling hot and sour.
