Chapter 411 [New Year's Extra Story](1/2)
On New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily in Kaifeng.
The falling snowflakes soon covered the imperial city with a layer of snow-white.
Although it is very cold with wind and snow, the city is still bustling with preparations for the New Year. Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The city is also crowded with people and is full of joy.
It's the same in Kaifeng Mansion, it's all about the New Year atmosphere.
Early in the morning, Demon King and Mrs. Bao started preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Mr. Bao went to the last morning court of the year. Zhao Zhen had nothing to do today, so he just exchanged New Year greetings with the courtiers.
Zhao Zhen was in a good mood. This year was going to be a good year with good weather. He led the whole city to distribute red envelopes, one to each person.
After the court, the Grand Master followed Mr. Bao back to Kaifeng Mansion, preparing to take Pang Yu home for the New Year.
After getting off the sedan and entering the door together, the Grand Master suddenly remembered something, touched his sleeve, took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them to Mr. Bao.
The Lord squinted his eyes and looked at the Grand Master - "Okay, you fat man, you dare to bribe me in Kaifeng Mansion?! You are a man!"
The grand master rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who bribed you? Do you know Kongdu!"
Mr. Bao took it over suspiciously. It was indeed a stack of red paper bags, but they were empty inside.
The adults are a little confused, but this paper bag is quite nice, square and square, and there is a little golden tiger printed on it... The tiger's face is too round, and it looks like a little boy.
"Does it look good?" The Grand Master took out a seal and showed it to the adults, "The sales in the city have been good recently!"
The adult took the seal and looked at it, and printed a tiger.
"This is a gift from Manji when he buys candy! It is said that the tiger was painted by the fourth son!" The grand master put his hands in his sleeves as if to offer a treasure.
Master Bao thought it was good, so he put it in his pocket, "This is evidence that you bribed me, confiscate it!"
"Hmph!" The Grand Master curled his lips and took out another one from his pocket, "I knew you would want it, I have plenty here!"
Master Bao collected the red paper bags and prepared to give out New Year's money to the children during dinner in the evening.
Master Bao went to the kitchen to find his wife. The grand master called Pang Yu and strolled to the tiger room to have a look at the little tigers.
The tiger room was warm and cozy, and a group of big cats and a dragon were gathered together, staring at the three little tiger cubs beside Yinxue.
When the Grand Master entered the door, several big cats looked up at him and continued to lower their heads.
The grand master came over curiously and squatted down to take a look. The three tiger cubs had just finished drinking milk and were sleeping next to each other. Even though Bao Mei was just a girl, her sleeping posture was very heroic, with her head resting on her head.
Brother Bao kicked Brother Tiger with his feet, his belly was still bulging, he was sleeping soundly, and there were bubbles coming out of the tip of his nose.
The Grand Master held his face against Xiao Wu and stared at it. One person and one tiger shook his head while looking at it - the baby is really cute!
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and the grand master looked out and saw four children running over. They were all wearing tiger-head hats, and each of them was holding a hot tiger bun in his hand and was nibbling on it.
Four children came in with a particularly big tiger hat, crept inside, held down Yaoyao, and put it on.
Yaoyao was subdued by a group of children and did not dare to move for fear of waking up the little tiger. He lay on the ground whining and whining.
After putting on the tiger head hat, he turned over and sat up, looking up.
The grand master covered his mouth - tiger-headed dragon!
Yaoyao shook his hat and walked out, ready to show Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao his new hat.
…
In the Miaomiao Building, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had also just gotten up, and helplessly looked at a "bundle" bulging in the quilt on the bed.
Zhan Zhao went over and poked.
The bag was bulging.
The fifth master opened the quilt, and inside the quilt, the fourth son was hugging his little pillow and yawning.
"Little Fourth, it's the New Year today, why don't you get up?" Zhan Zhao asked him, "It's snowing outside, why don't you go build a snowman?"
The fourth child turned over in the warm quilt and waved his hand, "I'm going to sleep in today!"
Zhao Pu and Gongsun both got up very early this morning. Zhao Pu went to the military camp to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, and Gongsun had to go to the clinic early in the morning.
The fourth son played chess with Tianzun and the other old men until midnight last night, and this morning he hugged his pillow and stared in confusion.
Gongsun couldn't bear to wake him up, but Xiao Liangzi and the others were already practicing martial arts, so it was hard to leave Xiao Liangzi alone in the room.
Zhao Pu simply rolled up the dumpling with a quilt, wrapped it into a big bundle, ran to Miaomiao Building, and put it on Zhan Zhao's bed.
Zhan Zhao just woke up in the morning. As soon as the window next to the bed was opened, a large pile of quilts was thrown in.
Zhan Zhao was startled and quickly caught him, and the fourth child rolled out and slipped into his bed and continued to sleep.
…
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried to get the fourth child up, but the window opened again, and Yao Yao's head peeked in.
Both of them were stunned, wondering where a normal-colored tiger came from...
As soon as Zhan Zhao held Yaoyao's head, Bai Yutang also reached out and pinched the tiger's ears, thinking that this hat was quite good.
Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of an idea and whispered a few words to Bai Yutang.
The fifth master laughed after hearing this and thought it was good.
Zhan Zhao is about to go out.
But Bai Yutang pointed to the little dumpling still lying on the bed - you can't leave the child alone in the room.
"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said - there is a way!
…
In the yard next door, Lin Yehuo, who was sleeping late, had just turned over when the window opened and a large ball of quilt fell from the sky.
"Wow!" Huo Feng was startled and instinctively stretched out his hand to hug him.
The fourth child rolled out of the quilt again and got into the Huofeng quilt and continued to yawn.
Lin Yehuo turned over, held his chin, looked out the window and Zhan Zhao waved to him, then closed the window and ran away with the Fifth Master.
Huofeng reached out and poked the dumpling.
The fourth child arched under the quilt, opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch the quilt, and rolled on the bed again.
Lin Yehuo's bedding and sheets were all made of silk, which was slippery, but it wasn't cold at all, because it was so warm around Huofeng.
The little boy rubbed it back and forth and felt it was so silky...like he was soaking in a hot spring!
Huofeng looked at the little fourth son swimming around in the quilt.
After swimming for a while, Xiao Sizi stuck his head out and asked Lin Yehuo, "Xiao Linzi, won't you get up?"
"Get up?" Huo Feng tossed his hair, "Why do you have to get up on a snowy day? During the Chinese New Year, you have to lie down until the New Year's Eve dinner is served and then get up again!"
The fourth son hugged Huofeng and said, "Well said!"
Huofeng pinched a handful of dumplings and sighed - so much meat! Solid dumplings!
Zou Liang, who took the mute out for a walk, opened the door and came in. He saw Lin Yehuo and Xiao Sizi swimming around on the bed, and shook his head helplessly.
…
Tianzun and Yin Hou got up early and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Each of them took a tiger head bun and went out. They discussed going to the market. The street felt very lively.
As a result, as soon as they reached the kitchen door, the door was closed by Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er.
The old men tilted their heads, and the two girls pointed behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw the Silver Demon King holding a rolling pin and waving to them, "We are short of manpower, come and help!"
The old men took half a step back with their buns in hand - help?!
The Silver Demon King narrowed his eyes and waved and waved - come here quickly! Do you want to be beaten?!
The old men had no choice but to walk back dejectedly.
The Demon King first touched his sleeve pocket, pulled out a stack of red envelopes, and gave one to each person.
Taking the red envelope, several old men opened it to see how much money there was.
The Demon King was speechless and pointed at Tianzun and Yin Hou, "You two, go make dumplings!"
Tianzun and Yin Hou looked at each other, put away the red envelopes, and looked at the large bucket of stuffing and the pile of dumpling skins as high as a hill with some disgust on the table.
Tianzun was dissatisfied, "Where are Yutang and Zhao'er?!"
Yin Hou also nodded - this kind of thing is for children to play!
The Silver Demon King picked up a dumpling wrapper, scooped out a spoonful of stuffing, and demonstrated it to them, "Just make it like this!"
The two old men took their time to learn how to make it. After wrapping it, they found it was not difficult and they even gave it a try.
The White Dragon King on the side tilted his head in confusion and looked at the "dumplings" in the hands of the two people - why is the shape so different? It also has two ears?
The Demon King sighed and directed Lu Tianhan and Yao Changtian to make spring rolls, while the White Dragon King made egg dumplings.
Master Wusha was shaking the Lantern Festival with a bamboo basket, and he was having a great time.
The White Ghost King looked at the thick spring roll wrapper and then at the red bean paste filling in the bowl. He was disgusted - it looked disgusting.
