The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

"Hey, Shitou, you're trying to steal food from an old man. Get out of here!"

In the kitchen, Uncle Chen complained angrily and fought with others for the meatballs that Su Weixi and Su's mother had just fried. The person he was yelling at was the man in black who was rescued by Su Weixi that day, named Shitou.

On the third day after rescuing the three people, it snowed again.

The two also woke up. According to the young master Shen in white, his name was Shen Jingzhou, a 15-year-old son of a merchant. He went hunting in the mountains with his servant Shitou and his grandfather's friend Chen Bo. They were attacked by wild beasts and injured. They finally escaped the attack of the wild beasts. Shitou was seriously injured and the three of them were lost.

On the day they were rescued by the Su family, the three had been hungry for three days. They finally saw smoke coming out of the Su family's house in the mountains. When they were going down the mountain, they encountered a wild boar. Uncle Chen found a trap on the ground and lured the wild boar over, but fell into the pit with the wild boar.

Shen Jingzhou's own strength was about to run out and he could no longer lift the stone, so he had to come to the Su family's door alone to ask for help. Unexpectedly, he fainted right after knocking on the door.

The Su family knew that there was definitely some untruth in this statement.

For example, the knife and sword wounds on the three people were definitely not caused by wild beasts, but he didn't say much and pretended to be stupid and believed this statement.

Originally, they planned to let them leave as soon as they recovered from their injuries, but unexpectedly, there were several heavy snowfalls during this period, and the snow even accumulated above their knees, so the three of them had to continue staying in the Su family.

Shen Jingzhou also asked the Su family why they lived in this deep mountain, considering the special features of their house, such as the glass used for the windows.

Dad Su said that his family was originally an ordinary family in Qingshan Village, and they moved to the mountains to avoid the war. This was the house built by an old hunter he met when he was hunting.

After the old couple lost their son in middle age, they were unwilling to move out of the mountains. By chance, Su's father saved him once, so they gave the house to Su's father.

Dad Su said this without feeling guilty at all, because his family had built three graves for the original owner's family of three at the foot of the mountain in the north, and placed their clothes in them as a cenotaph for burial.

After all, we are occupying someone else's body. Although our family members were not responsible for their death, we should still do what we can and hope that they will be reborn soon.

Knowing that the Su family came to live in the mountains to escape the war, Shen Jingzhou also told the Su family that the war outside was now over.

The Duke of Zhenguo has already driven the Northern Di out of Dasheng, and the border town that was lost before was also recaptured this autumn. If the Su family wants to go home, they can go back now.

Dad Su has always been wary of the three men, fearing that they might do something to harm their family.

But as they gradually got to know him, they discovered that Shen Jingzhou was just as the Su family had guessed, and definitely not the son of a merchant as they had said.

He is not only gentle and knowledgeable, but also very good at martial arts.

Shi Tou and Uncle Chen are just greedy people, and they don't have much sense when they come into contact with each other. Sometimes Shi Tou's words reveal some of their information, but the Su family pretends not to hear them.

The six people tacitly agreed not to expose the loopholes in each other's words.

After the injuries of the three people were healed, Su Weixi found that the progress bar on the TV in the space had changed. It now showed 51%. Su Weixi's family was very happy and felt more and more that they had made the right decision to save the person.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the Su family had to spend their first New Year in the Da Sheng Dynasty with three strangers.

No matter who is at home, the New Year's Eve dinner must be prepared well.

He just didn't plan to cook anything too out of the ordinary. Su Weixi secretly regretted in his heart that the king crabs and Boston lobsters in the space could not be taken out and eaten.

Now Su Weixi is frying meatballs with his mother. They fried two kinds of meatballs, one pure meatball and one vegetable meatball.

Fried foods always smell best right after they come out of the pan, so Shitou and Uncle Chen stayed by the kitchen stove and ate them all the time. They originally prepared two large bowls full of meatballs, but they ate until only two-thirds of each was left.

Su Weixi prepared sixteen dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, including sweet and sour fish, steamed spare ribs with rice flour, Dongpo pork, boiled chicken, pork with preserved vegetables, braised lion head, old duck soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, Chinese cabbage in soup, spicy rabbit cubes, "Flower of Fortune and Prosperity" (egg meat rolls), cured meat platter, braised dish platter, fried food platter (fried meatballs, crispy pork), and blueberry yam.

There was also a bowl of canned yellow peach fruit that Su Weixi secretly smuggled out of the space. If someone asked, Su Weixi would say that it was made last summer.

It was not convenient to take the fish out of the space, so the fish used to make sweet and sour fish were the fish that Su's father and Shitou got back by breaking the ice on the lake.

Wine is indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner. One night, Su Weixi sneaked into the space while everyone was asleep, transferred Moutai and Wuliangye into wine jars that were suitable for this era, and poured wine from the supermarket into the wine jars for himself and Su Ma to drink.

He had seen wild grapes in the mountains before, so he said they were brewed by his family, and he said the white wine was left by his father, an old hunter, who made it up out of thin air.

Su Weixi and Su Ma got up early to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone just had a few bowls of noodles with gravy for breakfast and lunch. Finally, when night fell, all the dishes were on the table.

Dad Su took out the jar of wine prepared by Su Weixi and opened it. The small living room was immediately filled with the aroma of wine. Uncle Chen's eyes immediately lit up. He came close to Dad Su and kept sniffing the aroma of the wine, but the dinner was about to start, so he was embarrassed to ask to taste the wine first.

Dad Su filled the glasses of several men, and they sat at the table. Su Weixi and Mom Su didn't care about the strict separation of men and women in this era, and they ate at the same table for these days.

Shen Jingzhou and his companions followed the host's wishes and naturally did not say much.

"Come, it's rare that we have several distinguished guests this year. We don't have any good things to entertain you, just some mountain products and poultry. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. I hope Uncle Chen, Master Shen and Shitou don't mind. I'll toast you all a glass." The head of the family, Dad Su, raised his glass and said some polite words.

"Oh, nephew Su, you can say that you are not hospitality enough. The feast in your house is very rare, especially the wine. I know it is good wine just by smelling it. I feel sorry for us who are eating for free." Uncle Chen said politely, his eyes fixed on the wine glass in his hand.

"Uncle Su, you are too polite. We are sorry to disturb your family's reunion." Shen Jingzhou also said politely.

"Oh, let's not talk about this. I am a rough man and don't know how to say polite words. If we don't eat it now, the food will get cold. Don't worry, there will be plenty of wine and drinks."

After some pleasantries, everyone had a drink and started eating.

Usually, Uncle Chen likes to grab food with Shitou at the dinner table. But today, he kept asking Father Su to drink because after drinking the first glass of wine, he found that this wine not only smelled good, but also did not irritate his throat after it entered his mouth. Instead, it left a sweet aftertaste after he finished drinking it.

So Uncle Chen kept asking Father Su to drink, occasionally giving him some snacks to go with the wine. Even Shen Jingzhou, who ate slowly, kept refilling his glass.

Only Shitou had no interest in wine. He buried his head in eating, gobbling up the food in no time, and wished he had a few more hands and mouths.

Su Weixi was halfway through her meal when she remembered the wine she had smuggled in earlier. She took it out and poured it for herself and Su Ma. Shi Toujiu, who was standing by, noticed it and said, "Hey, Miss Su, what is this? It smells like wine, but why is it red?"

Shi Tou's words attracted Chen Bo and Shen Jingzhou, who were drinking with Su's father at the table, and they all stared at Su Weixi.

"This is a fruit wine made from wild grapes I picked in the mountains. It's not too strong and is suitable for women and children."

After that, he poured a glass for everyone. After tasting it, Uncle Chen was not very interested, Shen Jingzhou was okay, and Shitou liked this sour and sweet wine and drank a few more glasses.

After the meal, Uncle Chen was already drunk. There was really not much strong liquor available at that time, so Shen Jingzhou asked Shitou to help Uncle Chen back to the room and lie down.

Feeling a little full, Su Weixi went into the kitchen to boil some hawthorn water for everyone to help them digest the food. Then they sat in the living room eating melon seeds and chatting to celebrate the New Year.

It was not until midnight that Su's father set off a small string of firecrackers, and everyone ate dumplings before going to bed.
