Chapter 440 New Year's Eve
Shen Qin ran into the kitchen like a gust of wind to inform Shen Qingqian, and then ran away like a gust of wind.
"This child is getting more and more naughty. One day I'll really have to ask your elder brother to teach him a lesson." Mrs. Xiao Lin was cutting vegetables. Seeing her son's behavior, she felt really worried.
Shen Qingqian smiled, "Sister-in-law, Qin'er is doing very well. He is lively and likable, and he studies very seriously. As long as you guide him well, he will definitely have a good future."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I think Qin Ge'er and Jin Jie'er are both very well-behaved. It's okay for them to be naughty occasionally." Shen Qingning was cooking her specialty - stir-fried pork with peppers.
Xiao Lin smiled and shook her head, "You aunts just spoil them too much."
Today, only sisters Xiao Lin and Shen Qingqian were in the kitchen, while Wu and others were warming themselves by the fire in the main hall.
Shen Qingqian grew peppers using random seeds. After drying them, she took the pepper seeds as seeds and asked Jiang Goudan and others to plant them in the greenhouse. She then found opportunities to use some accelerating fertilizer from time to time, and finally harvested a batch of peppers before the New Year.
This is a rare item that has never been seen in the capital. Because of the Hu City in northern Hubei, some people have seen the appearance of dried chili peppers, but no one pays attention to it, so chili peppers have never taken root in northern Hubei.
This gave Shen Qingqian an opportunity to make money.
The first batch of peppers was not large in quantity. Only the Shen family kept a small portion in Huanxiyuan, and most of the others were sent to Yunzhongxian Restaurant. Another small portion was sent to the military kitchen.
Chili peppers can keep out the cold. If they can be promoted among the army in northern Hubei, the Shen family will be able to live a worry-free life just by growing and selling chili peppers.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the people in Huanxiyuan have agreed that each family will first have a reunion dinner at home, and then stay up together to welcome the New Year.
Sheng Ze and Ling Yun were sent somewhere to do some work a few days ago and haven't come back since. Mrs. Wu was worried about them in the morning, but who would have thought that they would come back just in time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The Shen family's New Year's Eve dinner menu and quantity were decided yesterday. Now that Sheng Ze and Ling Yun suddenly came back, the food they had prepared before was not enough.
Shen Qingqian thought about it and decided to add some minced meat peas and braised pork ribs.
The peas were planted in the corners of the small valley last year. The yield was average, and after the harvest, the temperature dropped sharply. Shen Qingqian avoided everyone's sight and stored the beans in the system warehouse.
At this time, I pretended to dig a few times in the snow in the yard and pretended that the peas were taken out of the snow. This could explain the freshness of the peas.
Sheng Ze said a few words in the room and felt a little bored. He wanted to go back home first. When he came out, he saw Shen Qingqian's actions and immediately smiled knowingly.
"Sixth sister, long time no see." He greeted her.
Shen Qingqian turned her head and looked over. "Third Brother Cheng," she called out, then paused and said, "Not even a few days, right?"
During this period, her opinion of Shengze changed again.
She hated the Sheng family, but Sheng Ze's actions seemed different from those of other Sheng family members. At least he was working hard for the people. For the safety of northern Hubei, she didn't know what he sacrificed to Princess Chengyu. The Jiayu tribe sent people to negotiate peace ten days ago.
When Sheng Ze heard this, the smile on his face disappeared. He lowered his eyes and said silently in his heart: It feels like three years since I last saw you.
Shen Qingqian didn't know what he was thinking. She nodded at him and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
The cured spareribs were obtained by Shengze and Lingyun from hunting during their exile. There were not only wild boar ribs, but also rabbit ribs. They were cooked together at that time.
As the aroma in the kitchen grew stronger, the Shen family's New Year's Eve dinner was served one after another.
As the head of the family, Mrs. Wu stood up after taking her seat and looked at the family sitting in an orderly manner, feeling filled with emotion.
"I'll update this chapter today, mainly to tell you guys, there will be more to come. I'll try to write more and update as much as I can. You can come back around 12 o'clock or tomorrow morning to read it."
