Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The Xu family father and son seemed to have figured it out, and they all nodded in agreement.

The three mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law haven't thought it through yet, but they don't have any objections.

Things were almost done, and it was already past mid-afternoon. Thinking about having hotpot in the evening, Liu Xu started inviting everyone to make dumplings together.

"Let's wrap them together. Wrap more. It's cold now, so we can keep them for a few more days."

"I think it's okay. I haven't made it myself in years!" The old lady was the first to show her support.

"Yes, I remember when we were in Yongkang Prefecture, you would cook and make dumplings yourself every year." Grandpa Xu said with emotion.

Xu Mingzhe also said: "Yueyue was still young at that time, and her face was covered with flour every time!"

"That's right, not only did she spend it on herself, but she also brought harm to me!" Xu Mingli also remembered the time when they were young.

Liu Xu got down to work right away and asked people to prepare things immediately, and the imperial stool was in place immediately.

The Liu family compound was bustling again. The master and servants were mobilized and set up outside the kitchen.

Some knead the dough, some roll the noodles, some chop the stuffing, some skewer the skewers, some cut the vegetables and some marinate the meat.

Among the children of the Xu family, only Xu Zeyu had experienced this, but Xu Zeyu had long forgotten it. Several children came to join in the fun, their faces covered with flour paste.

With so many people around, the dumplings were made faster. In less than an hour, several baskets of dumplings were made.

Some of them are made by inexperienced people and are so ugly that you can’t bear to look at them.

When night fell, the Liu family compound was brightly lit.

Before Xu Mingli came here, he had only eaten hotpot once, but he was not familiar with barbecue.

But none of this matters. Except for Dong'er and her daughter and the new arrivals, all the servants in the Liu family know how to do it. Even little Furui and Xibao know when to sprinkle the seasoning.

The table was still placed in the yard. Liu Xu asked Uncle He to place their table there as well, so that the master and servant could have fun together.

But there is less meat on their table.

Eating soup pot, grilling barbecue, and there is also spicy braised meat on the table to go with wine. The Liu family's New Year's Eve is very lively.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the northern military camp, the soldiers also had a good year.

Liu Donglai and his men returned one after another on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. They had vegetables, meat and grain. This year, everyone in the Mu family army was happy.

At this time, the central army camp was also very lively.

Mu Jingfeng had taken most of his son's spicy base, and now all the generals were preparing to eat hotpot and drink.

Although Liu Donglai was still a thousand households, his petition for merit had been sent back to the capital, making him a quasi-lieutenant general, so he was also invited.

In fact, he himself didn't really want to come... because his precious daughter had prepared a lot for him.

When he came out earlier, he gave a lot to his confidants. I wonder if those bastards will leave some for him.

There are also his wife and daughter, I wonder if they miss him. The house should be very lively, his wife said that his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law came, but it was a pity that he could not wait for them.

I don’t know whether my wife’s family will dislike him, alas!

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, Commander-in-Chief Liu!" Liu Donglai was daydreaming when a colleague next to him shouted.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"What are you thinking about? The general is calling you!" The one who called him was another newly promoted deputy general, who was Liu Donglai's replacement for the position.

"Ah! General, I'm here!" Liu Donglai immediately stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down and answer!" Mu Jingfeng's face was calm.

"Commander Liu, you have a good daughter! Huai Jin told me that not only the mushrooms, but also the spicy sauce were all made by your daughter?"

"Thank you for the compliment, General. My daughter is so nice. Although she likes to tinker around, everything she tinkers with is excellent!" Liu Donglai accepted it naively, not being modest at all. Mu Jingfeng and the others laughed when they heard it.

No one present was laughing at him, but they were amused by his act of "my daughter is the best in the world".

Is Liu Donglai stupid? Of course he is not stupid, otherwise how could he have taken the head of Helian boy. But this brave and resourceful man on the battlefield turned into a simple and honest farmer when he mentioned his daughter.

"Hahaha, that's really great! Not only did she discover that bell peppers are edible and can ward off cold, she also plans to grow a large amount of them to supply our military camp. I heard that eating one of those things can instantly warm a person up, this is great news for our entire Mu family army!"

"There is such a thing? If so, then this daughter of Lieutenant General Liu is truly righteous!"

"Indeed, there are many people in our camp who freeze to death or get frostbite every year. If it is really as the general said, the number will definitely be reduced."

Everyone in the camp was full of praise, and Liu Donglai smiled even more innocently. He looked so proud that everyone felt pain in their eyes.

"Okay, everyone, have a try. This is the soup base that the Liu family girl made with peppers. Put the raw vegetables and meat on the table in it and boil it. It tastes good and warms the body!"

"Then I will definitely give it a try!"

When everyone got the news, they immediately started eating. Then they praised the dish endlessly, talking but not stopping.

Liu Dashan didn't hesitate to pour the food into the pot, and as soon as the pot boiled, he started to pick up the food.

When others saw this, they also started eating.

There were no special pots in the military camp, so Mu Lingxuan asked people to use the pot in the kitchen. He set up a stone stove in the tent, put the pot on it, and everyone sat around the pot.

It's quite down-to-earth. At least that's what the guards outside thought.

"Mmm, this tastes amazing!"

“It’s delicious, and it warms you up instantly!”

"This tastes better than the food we had at that restaurant when we returned to Beijing!"

"really!"

"Commander Liu, your daughter is amazing!"

"Hehe, I think so too!"

"Hahahahaha!"

…The noise in the middle tent lasted for more than an hour. Mu Jingfeng asked someone to put the remaining soup base into tomorrow's dishes so that the soldiers could taste it.

They said they were drinking, but because they were soldiers, they only poured half a bowl of wine as a token of respect so as not to delay the work. After everyone dispersed, they went back to rest early.

But in the Liu family compound, the excitement continued until midnight.

During this time, the younger ones couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep, and the old man and the old lady also went back home because they were too old.

Leaving behind were the Xu brothers and their spouses, Ye Miaoyin and her daughter, Liu Xu and her daughter, and Xu Zeyu.

Everyone was chatting and laughing while keeping watch.

As soon as midnight arrived, the crackling sound of Liujia Village began again.

"Mother, Master, Senior Sister, Happy New Year!"

"Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, cousin, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year and a prosperous Spring Festival!"

"Happy New Year, Baoer too!"
