Chapter 665 Fried Fish
"Grandma, you don't even help me." He covered his butt and pouted.
As if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Oh, grandma didn't hear you. Otherwise, Pingmei, please hit me again and I will go out to save Tongtu." Zhang Jinlan's words made Jiang Tongtu almost cry.
"grandmother!"
He stamped his feet on the spot.
"Okay, stop messing around. Come, grandma will reimburse you and give you two more taels."
Why get angry when you have money?
Jiang Tongtu was instantly happy.
"Fifth brother is so easy to coax. Look how worthless he is." Jiang Ruyi curled her lips speechlessly.
"Shh, don't let Fifth Brother hear it, or he'll cry in front of you." Jiang Fubao quickly covered his second sister's mouth.
Fifth brother only grows in age, not in brains.
His temperament is still the same as before.
He is greedy and playful, easily gets angry, but also easy to coax.
Jiang Tongtu, who got the silver, had no memory of being betrayed by his father and beaten up by his mother.
He ran to find the boy from the Liu family and returned the silver before coming back.
It was completely dark and the lanterns in the yard were lit one after another.
There is red light everywhere.
Jiang Fubao returned to her room and took a bath, which smelled delicious. She leaned on the bed with two pillows behind her waist.
Then he held the book and read it.
On the left hand side is a nanmu side table, on which are a plate of peeled peanuts, a plate of peeled grapefruits, and a cup of hot milk.
Xue Huan sat on the edge of the bed, cross-legged and read with her.
I would sneak a few peanuts from time to time.
Jiang Fubao chuckled.
This little idiot, the sound of peanuts crunching while chewing, does he really think there is no sound?
"Eat it if you want. I'll give you the grapefruit too."
"Hehe, thank you, miss." Xue Huan then started eating openly.
The young lady got a batch of storybooks from somewhere. They were written very beautifully and she was fascinated at the first sight. But just reading the storybooks made her mouth empty and she always wanted to eat something.
"Come and lean against me. It's bad for your eyes if you look down at the book like this."
Seeing her huddled on the edge of the bed, Jiang Fubao moved in a little and let Xue Huan lie side by side with her.
Don't forget to cover her with the quilt.
The master and servant have been together since childhood and are almost like real sisters.
After reading the book, the two even slept in the same bed.
The cold wind was blowing outside, rolling up the small snowflakes and blowing them everywhere until they fell down.
The lanterns were lit all night.
When I woke up at dawn, it was already white outside.
Jiang Fubao put on a pink silk cotton jacket. This kind of fabric was warm to the touch and very suitable for wearing in winter. It was sewn with thick cotton quilting inside, which was very warm.
The cuffs and collar are trimmed with a circle of white rabbit fur, making the wearer look more delicate and cute.
Jiang Fubao also wore a moon-white vest over the cotton-padded jacket, on which were embroidered many Chinese characters for "Fu" (meaning "blessing") with gold thread. It shone brightly in the daytime, and it was obvious at a glance that it was of great value. It was made of cloth that Yun Lan asked Butler Fang to send. Jiang Ruyi also had one.
As for her lower body, Jiang Fubao didn't wear too thick clothes. She stayed in the main room most of the time today. When she went to set off fireworks, she put on a thick brocade cloak. The lining of the cloak was fox fur, so she wouldn't feel cold even if she stood in the snow for a whole day.
"Miss, do you want to wear these shoes or these little deerskin boots?"
After putting on the clothes, Xuehuan brought out two pairs of shoes. One pair was made of silk and satin, and there was a piece of mutton-fat jade on the upper of each shoe, which was very gorgeous.
The other pair is for warmth.
There is rabbit fur inside and deerskin outside. The two layers of leather are sewn together. Not only is it waterproof, it can also keep your feet warm. It just doesn't look that good.
"It's snowing outside, so just wear small boots." Jiang Fubao said, pointing at the deerskin boots.
"Okay, miss." Xue Huan squatted down and helped her put on her shoes.
Jiang Fubao sat next to the dressing table again. In front of her was a bronze mirror, which made her look like a person in a painting, somewhat unreal.
"Let me comb a new bun for the young lady," Xue Huan said again.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Fubao has always doted on her.
It was already a quarter of an hour later when she came downstairs.
Jiang Fubao didn't wear any jewelry today. She only had a hairpin and a few golden flowers in her hair.
The buyao is in the style of a palace lantern and is very exquisitely made.
There was also a long string of tassels on it, and when one walked, the tassels made of gold made a slight tinkling sound.
Jiang Fubao deliberately did not walk along the corridor. She walked on the snow to the entrance of the courtyard. The deerskin boots did not make her feet feel cold at all.
Yesterday, she specifically told her servants not to clean the snow in the yard today.
Only with snow can there be artistic conception.
There was a festive atmosphere. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, she would make snowmen and have snowball fights in the yard with her brothers, sisters and nephew.
Isn’t it happy?
"Grandma, what do you want to eat in the morning?" The door to the main room was only half closed.
There are several charcoal stoves inside, which makes it very warm.
The contrast between cold and heat makes the temperature just right.
"Eat dumplings in the morning, so that the family can be reunited. There are boiled, fried, and steamed ones, and they also have sweet and salty ones. Fubao can make whatever he wants."
Zhang Jinlan has already started eating.
Jiang Fubao walked closer and saw that it was indeed as grandma said.
There are all kinds of dumplings.
Some are made of noodles, and some are made of glutinous rice and cabbage.
She tried one of each.
In the end, I discovered that boiled glutinous rice dumplings are the most delicious, especially those with sesame filling.
After breakfast, the Jiang family members went about their own business.
Some were putting up couplets, some were moving tables and chairs, and others were preparing bamboo cards and pitching pots, thinking of having fun after the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Do it yourself and it will add more festive atmosphere.
The servants were resting in the backyard.
Jiang Fubao went to the kitchen with his second sister, grandmother, and aunt to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
"The fish that Madam Yun sent seems to have been fried. It's called fried fish. We have never eaten it before. How do we eat it?"
Qian Xile felt a headache as he looked at the fish fried into a brown sauce in the basin.
Not to mention her, even the cooks can’t do it either.
But Jiang Ruyi just happens to know how to do it.
"I saw it on the street when Fubao took me to Jiangnan. The old man selling fried fish said that this was a unique way of eating in their county. The county was surrounded by lakes on three sides, and every household ate and sold fish all year round, and they lived a very prosperous life.
In winter, when people get tired of eating salted fish, they cut a certain type of fish with large bones and few bones into pieces, salt it, and fry it. This way, it can be preserved for a long time. Then, every time they eat it, they just need to simply roast it or steam it, without adding salt. ”
Jiang Ruyi likes cooking and pays attention to these things, even Jiang Fubao doesn’t know.
She actually knows so much.
"In that case, let Ruyi fry the fish. I'll go make the chicken soup." Qian Xile nodded as if he understood, and pushed the basin in his hand towards Jiang Ruyi.
The women in the family are all capable, but Jiang Fubao has little work to do.
She helps out here and there.
The main character does nothing, but gives people the feeling that she is very busy.
