Chapter 111 Chinese New Year
Chapter 111 Chinese New Year
Su Yue pulled Dali, who was still peeling peanuts, to the door, and the two of them started making snowballs.
Dali first made a small snowball, and then started pushing it on the ground. Before long, the snowball grew bigger and bigger.
Not to be outdone, Su Yue also started rolling snowballs around the courtyard, and the two of them had a great time.
There was also a hint that they were going to have a contest to see who could roll the biggest snowball. Don't let Su Yue's small size fool you, her strength was unmatched by Dali.
The snow continued to fall from the sky, and two figures in the courtyard easily rolled snowballs bigger than themselves.
The maids in the kitchen were also busy preparing for dinner.
The whole courtyard was filled with a delicious aroma. Fortunately, not many people live in the town now, and those they do live quite far apart.
Otherwise, just this aroma alone could make a bunch of little kids drool.
Su Yue looked at the snowball in her hand that was twice the size of her own, and then at the snowball that was about the same size as her.
Seeing that the two of them had rolled all the snow in the courtyard clean, they had no choice but to give up, but they were still a little worried.
If you stack two snowballs this big together, the snowman will be almost as tall as the house in the yard.
Su Yue was still looking forward to it; she had never seen such a big snowman before.
Using mental power, I slowly placed one snowball on top of another, and then sealed the connection point with snow.
He pulled a carrot out of the space to use as a nose, picked two big red apples for eyes, and a long red chili pepper for a mouth.
They even found a piece of cloth for the huge snowman and tied it in the middle to put a cape on it.
"Dali, how's it going?" Su Yue asked Dali, who was looking up at the snowman's two eyes, after finishing her work.
Dali focused all his mental energy on the two red apples and didn't hear what Su Yue asked, so he just nodded and said okay.
Su Yue couldn't help but laugh at Dali's greedy look. If she didn't give Dali an apple soon, she was sure he would steal and eat the snowman's two eyes in the middle of the night.
She took an apple out of her spatial storage before she finally looked away from the snowman's eyes.
Just as Dali was about to take a bite, he heard the sound of dinner being served coming from the kitchen.
Su Yue took the apple back from Dali's hand. "It's time to eat. If you don't eat now, you can eat later.
Dali heard that it was time to eat, but he thought, "Fine, I won't eat the apple now. Eating is the most important thing."
Ah Yue said that today is a holiday, and the aroma in the kitchen has been wafting all day. She's been drooling with envy for a long time.
"It's here, it's here." Su Yue's stomach was already growling from craving it.
Today, the maids put in more effort than usual to cook, and they were busy all day.
When Su Yue arrived at the dining table, the dishes were already served, so they could only start eating as soon as she arrived.
On the table were braised pork hock, braised pig's trotters, lotus root and pork rib soup, eggplant with minced meat, squirrel fish, and eight-treasure chicken...
I made a total of twelve dishes, and they were almost too much to fit on one table.
Looking at how delicious the food was, Dali was so happy he was practically blowing bubbles.
The maids who had set out the dishes were about to leave, but Su Yue stopped them.
How can we eat separately during the Lunar New Year? It's just her and Dali, it's not lively at all.
"You all sit together. The New Year is about family reunion. Come on, sit down and eat together." Su Yue urged the maids to sit down quickly, as she was also very hungry.
The braised pork knuckle that Qiaoxiang made was so delicious it almost made you dizzy with its aroma.
Seeing that Su Yue was serious and knowing her temperament, the maids all sat down to eat together.
Su Yue kept talking, saying every dish she ate was delicious, and in the end she ate without even lifting her head.
She was still planning in her mind that she must prepare more chicken, fish, and pork tomorrow, and have several maids make extra to put in her space, so that she could eat whatever she wanted whenever she was hungry.
Dali ate without even looking up. Although she had never gone hungry since following Su Yue, she still got hungry whenever she saw something delicious.
It might be related to my past fear of being hungry.
Feeling less hungry, Su Yue looked at the table and realized that she seemed to be missing some drinks, so she took out some fruit wine from her spatial storage.
The maids were already used to Su Yue suddenly taking out things; after all, she was a celestial envoy, and she wasn't just someone who made empty promises.
Su Yue poured a bowl for everyone, including herself.
"Come on, let's toast. I hope we'll have an even better tomorrow." Su Yue was the first to raise her bowl.
Dali also raised his bowl, "Hmm, I hope we can eat even better next year."
Qiaoxiang also raised the bowl in her hand and said, "I hope next year will be better, with no natural disasters and everyone having enough to eat."
Qiaoyun and Qiaoxia also raised their bowls.
The group clinked bowls and took a small sip of the fruit wine. It tasted delicious. It was Su Yue's first time drinking it, as she was still too young and not suitable for drinking alcohol.
After finishing their drinks, everyone started eating heartily again. Su Yue especially liked the squirrel fish, which was sweet and sour.
It was also thanks to Su Yue's abundance of seasonings, the fact that the fish had grown up in the space, and Su Yue's detailed explanation of how to cook the fish to Qiao Xiang.
This squirrel fish is exceptionally delicious; once you take a bite, you'll want to take another.
And then there's the lotus root and pork rib soup. The sweetness of the lotus root paired with the aroma of the pork ribs is so delicious that you could swallow your tongue.
No, no, I must take more ingredients from my spatial storage tomorrow, and make sure Qiaoxiang makes a lot so I can stock up on them.
Su Yue took another bite of the eight-treasure chicken; it tasted amazing.
Dali and the maids ate without looking up, occasionally taking a sip of fruit wine to cleanse their palates before continuing to eat.
When Su Yue was full and couldn't eat anymore, Qiao Xia got up and ran to the kitchen, and soon brought back a plate of dumplings.
Su Yue really couldn't eat anymore, but Qiao Xia still wouldn't let her go, forcing her to eat two more before finally letting her go.
Seeing that there was still a lot of food left on the table, Dali, that glutton, kept eating.
Su Yue even began to wonder if she hadn't been feeding Dali enough.
Watching Dali continue eating dumplings, Su Yue reached out her little hand and touched Dali's belly.
Dali saw that it was Su Yue touching her stomach, but she didn't care and let her touch it.
Goodness, this guy's belly is so big it looks like he's five months pregnant.
But this guy kept eating dumplings, and Su Yue was really afraid that he would burst his stomach, so she stopped him from eating anymore.
Dali felt she could still eat, but she was a little scared when she saw the way Su Yue looked at her.
She still remembers the last time she ate chestnuts, she wouldn't listen and ended up having a stomachache for a day.
If I don't want to eat, I don't have to. I'm already full anyway.
Qiaoxia looked at the food still left on the table and said while tidying it up, "May you have abundance every year."
Su Yue must be quite happy, so she told the maids to hurry up and get ready so they could keep watch together later.
Su Yue came here on her own. Actually, she's quite lazy. She'd rather lie down than sit, and sit than stand.
