Chapter 1493: Endless fun
The noisy city of Yuejing suddenly became quiet on New Year's Eve. The bustling crowds on the streets disappeared completely, and countless shops on both sides of the streets closed one by one, leaving only big red lanterns dancing in the wind on the lintel.
Beggars have been together for three days! Today is a good day for family reunion. The whole family sits together, eat, drink, chat happily, shake off the fatigue of the year, cultivate the spirit of laughter and joy, and prepare to welcome the sprint of the new year.
Countless blue smoke swelled up from the chimneys of every household and rose to a certain height. When stirred by the wind, it immediately became a ball, blown by the wind, changing shapes constantly, moving from one end to another, and slowly drifting back from the other end.
There was no sun today, but even if it was sun, it would probably be blocked by the blue smoke.
If it were a normal day, it was not time to cook, but today was naturally different. In the past, three or two dishes could solve a meal, but today we had to do our best to get a table of dishes full of dishes. Whether it was a wealthy family or a popular citizen, the value of this table of dishes during the Chinese New Year may be different, but the heart is the same.
Qin Feng likes this atmosphere very much.
Each rippling smoke from cooking represents that the people under his rule have no worries about food and clothing, and the countless green smoke gathers together to declare that his empire is full of vitality like the rising sun.
For no reason, Qin Feng suddenly remembered a great wish that He Rentu once made.
"I wish there were no bandits in the world!"
Qin Feng just wanted to say one thing at this time: "I wish there will be no hungry people in the world."
Once upon a time, Qin Feng's desire to work hard was just to stand on a platform at the same height as Min Ruoying, then defeat him, capture him to the places where the Western soldiers in the Luoying Mountains died in battle, and cut off his head to sacrifice to the heroes who died in vain.
But now he realized that at some point, his wish had changed.
It turned out that the main goal was constantly retreating, while the new goal was occupying his mind day by day. Revenge became a few subordinates under this new goal, which could be said to be a trivial matter.
The motivation to urge him to move forward back then has now replaced him with more ambitious goals.
This New Year will not be as calm as today! He whispered in his heart. Tomorrow, thunders will explode on this continent.
Since I officially embarked on the journey, over the past ten years, Yue and Qin have disappeared under my own hands, and the next one is Chu.
It seems that what coincides with me is another powerful country under this sky. Qi Kingdom will also usher in a huge change tomorrow, and this New Year is destined to be recorded in history.
With a gentle smile, Qin Feng turned around and walked into the house. The thunder would fall tomorrow. Today, let him have a happy New Year like thousands of ordinary people.
In the lobby behind him, just like an ordinary person's house, Eunuch Le was kneading the dough hard, while Xiao Wu stood beside him curiously, looking at the dough that was constantly changing in Eunuch Le's hand, and from time to time he stretched out his fingers to poke a small hole on it, and then laughed happily.
Xiao Wen sat quietly beside Min Ruoxi. It seemed that Min Ruoxi's cultivation plan had little effect on Xiao Wu, but it successfully changed Xiao Wen. The little girl's model marriage at this moment really showed the princess' grace.
When Qin Feng sat next to the big table, Eunuch Le had already started to work on a small rolling pin and quickly rolled out thin dumplings.
"Xi'er, Xiao Wen and Xiaowu, all of us are here. Let's make dumplings together!" Qin Feng happily picked up a piece of dumpling skin, took a spoon and scooped a small ball of filling, and skillfully made a beautiful dumpling with edges and angles, and placed it on the big table in front of him.
"Father, it turns out that this is how dumplings are made!" Xiao Wu jumped to Qin Feng's side, staring at Qin Feng in a blink of an eye, and then he made several more.
"I don't know!" Min Ruoxi walked to Qin Feng, picked up a piece of dumpling skin, and looked embarrassed. Since she was a child, how could she have ever touched the spring water of her fingers? Even when she lived in Taiping City with Qin Feng, she had never done these things.
"It's very simple, come on, I'll teach you." Qin Feng laughed loudly, pressed Min Ruoxi's shoulder with both hands, and sat on Jindeng. The white flour on his hands immediately left a few fingerprints on Min Ruoxi's expensive clothes.
"I want to learn too." Xiao Wu jumped over again, took a piece of dumpling skin, scooped up a ball of filling and wanted to wrap it in, but he didn't expect that there was too much filling, so he broke the skin in an instant, making his hands full of greasyness, and he was stunned.
"No matter how simple it is, it won't work without learning skills." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Come on, let's do it again."
Eunuch Le smiled and rolled the dumpling skin while watching the emperor's family of four wrapping dumplings. He rolled the skin quickly. The four people who made dumplings had only one skillful hand. In a short while, the dumpling skins piled up a lot.
The dumplings made by the emperor were very beautiful, but the queen and princess were not good at it. The strange shape made Eunuch Le narrow his eyes with a smile.
Min Ruoxi is actually an extremely competitive person. Seeing that the one she wrapped and the one Qin Feng wrapped together, she was like a dressed princess standing side by side with the torn beggar. Qin Feng also secretly glanced at her from time to time and couldn't help but feel a little angry. Isn't it just to make dumplings? How difficult is it? He is also very smart at the moment. After all, he is extremely smart. He has not had much effort and becomes decent. She finally becomes more and more skilled, and her fingers fly, gradually catching up with Qin Feng's speed. When the big table was filled with dumplings, the dumplings made by Min Ruoxi with a clever finger looked more refined than Qin Feng's.
The water on the fire boiled away. Qin Feng laughed and put the dumplings in the boiling water, then glanced at Xiao Wen and Xiaowu and said, "I'm going to agree today. Whoever makes the dumplings will eat them!"
When Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu heard this, they immediately flattened their mouths. They had already worked very hard, but they still couldn't see the dumplings they made. Xiao Wen could still roughly see a look. Xiao Wu was impatient and was a little terrible. He was basically all dough.
Seeing the dumplings floating in the boiling water, Qin Feng picked up the spoon and put the dumplings into the bowl one by one. Sure enough, he kept his word. In the bowl in front of Xiao Wu, there were dough with skin and flesh blooming.
"Eunuch Le, there are so many more here. Take them out and give them to the guards who are still on duty today." Qin Feng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but these are dumplings made by His Majesty, Empress, Princess, and the rewards are all unwilling to bear to eat them. They will definitely hide them and take them home for storage." Eunuch Le smiled while cleaning up.
"It will break if you can't put it for long. Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat it?" Qin Feng shook his head.
"Your Majesty, now there are ways to save his bag for many years!" Eunuch Le laughed.
"Should they do it too." Qin Feng didn't care.
When Xiao Wu heard this, he jumped up and picked out all the weird things he had wrapped, and blushed and said, "These are not good, they can't be taken away."
"Can you eat?"
"I can't eat this meal, so I'll continue eating the next meal. I'll pack it myself, even if I cry, I'll finish it!" Xiao Wu said with his neck, "Father, if you take it out to reward people, it's a joke."
"It won't make people laugh." Qin Feng said seriously: "Xiao Wu, no matter how ugly he is, you will work with him. As a prince, you must remember this firmly. These things will let others see your efforts. Look, isn't the bread behind much better than the ones you had before?"
Xiao Wu thought about it and said to Eunuch Le: "Keep these ugly ones, please stay here, Mr. Le helps me save them for a long time. I will use him to remind me at all times that as for the rewards given to the guards outside, I will pack them better if I come back. Can Mr. Le help me roll some skins?"
Eunuch Le narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I am willing to serve the prince."
Immediately I picked up the rolling pin, and one skin after another flew out from under him.
Xiao Wu was much more serious this time, sitting quietly wherever he was sitting, carefully pinching dumplings.
"I'll help you!" Xiaowen walked over and stood beside him.
Qin Feng looked at Xiao Wu with relief. He had indeed grown up a lot. Although he was still a little confused, he had already vaguely understood his special identity.
The whole family in the palace made dumplings and ate dumplings lively. Qin Feng also re-educated Xiao Wu. It would be better to subtly understand the truth than to read the script. A small thing made Xiao Wu understand some truths, that is, Min Ruoxi, who has always been dissatisfied with Qin Feng's education of children, was also very satisfied at this time. Seeing Xiao Wu clumsy and firmly pinching dumplings, Min Ruoxi smiled and joined again.
Qin Feng looked at the mother and son with their hands behind their backs and smiled happily.
The palace was so happy at this time, but on the big square outside the palace, it was already bustling.
