A warm New Year's Eve dinner was over. At this time, everyone did not start making dumplings, but brewed a few pots of tea to drink tea and chat, and had a short rest. Then the whole family would make dumplings together.

In fact, making dumplings is also a traditional habit of the Yang family. Every year on New Year's Eve, the whole family makes dumplings together, but the only difference this year is that they make dumplings from the initial things, that is, kneading, mixing fillings, and rolling the dough, are made temporarily, not like in previous years. The kneading and mixing fillings are prepared by the maid, and this year, the family makes them entirely by themselves.

"Mom, mom, look, this is the little bug dumplings that the baby learned from his elder brother." The baby's face and hands were covered with flour, and he came to me with a strange-shaped dough lump in his hand. This is a new type of dumplings, small bug dumplings that the baby learned from Yang Hengxin.

"Okay, okay, our baby will also make small bug dumplings. Come on, I will reward you with one." As I said that, I held the baby's face with both hands and gave her a kiss. This, she was already covered in flour on her face, but now there is more flour.

"Gee, I'll reward my mother with one too." The baby also hugged my mother's face and kissed her. As a result, two small paw prints appeared on my mother's face, "Gee, huh, I've put on makeup for me, it looks so good." As a result, when the baby's hand left my mother's face, I found the flour on my mother's face. The baby actually started to laugh, and I laughed. It was rare to get together with the baby in recent years, so naturally I was very happy.

And similarly, there are a few girls as old as babies who also interact with their mothers, which makes the other aunts look at them very jealous. Why is this last child not a daughter? Looking at those brats, they are actually like wood on the side.

"Young, you can't live without your mother when you're so old." Beibei said in a jealous tone, "Yes, yes, they are all little girls and have not grown up yet."

"Mom, I want to kiss me too." Nian Ge'er came to my mother. He was still young, so it was normal to act coquettishly. "Okay, okay, mom, kiss my little beloved." As he said, Nian Ge'er's face was covered with flour by me.

"I'm envious, sister-in-law, forget it, let me give you a beauty." "Your brother and sister, don't you envy?" The two aunts who don't have little daughters actually started to joke with each other. They even applied flour on each other's faces.

"These old ladies." The uncles shook their heads and said with a smile, but they were not idle in their hands. They were busy rolling out the dough. They rolled out a large dough and then cut the dough into small trapezoidal dumplings. The dumplings made in this way were Yuanbao dumplings. For these men, only these large doughs were the simplest. As long as the thickness was controlled, the shape was not high. Then they would be cut with a knife. The small round buns of dough were not something these men could roll out. That was the real craft.

"Brothers, please use more force. The more even the filling is mixed, the better the dumplings will look." This is the work that Brother Yang Li and his friends are doing.

Yang Heng was playing with the children, teaching them to make a small bug dumpling and then pinch out a small rabbit. In short, his task was to see the children, while my mother, aunts, and a few older sisters, Changle Yuzhang was wrapping the dumplings.

"Brother, I heard from my sister Xiaoniang that when we first made dumplings, we put copper coins in it, and said that whoever eats copper coins will be very happy in the next year."

"Baby, we don't need to wrap copper coins in it now, because we are all very happy. Do you want to make your family members who have not eaten copper coins unhappy?"

"No, no, don't wrap copper coins anymore. We are all happy or not. We no longer need copper coins to bless you." When the baby heard it, he was anxious. These are all his family members, so naturally they can't make some of them unhappy, so he quickly changed his words and did not wrap copper coins anymore. If he said that those who eat copper coins would be happy, then what if she didn't eat it? She didn't even say whether to wrap copper coins in each dumpling. It seems that the baby is also very sensible.

"Oh, the master's family didn't hold any party this year. It's so boring." "You, you, this is the master's family who understands us servants and lets us take advantage of this New Year's opportunity to get together. Especially the servants on duty this year, they have changed to those servants who have not started their own families? If we hold another party, will we still have time to get together?" The servants of the Yang family, and even the merchants, gathered together to wrap dumplings, chat, and look forward to the future.

"Our children are getting older, and they will graduate from the ordinary class soon. The master said that if they have a promising future, they will go to the academy to go to school. If they really have any promising future, they will make us better."...

Similarly, Yang Hu did not forget these servants, even the families of the farmer households. Each family gave them some flour and meat to make them have a good New Year. However, the servants who did not get married gave them more money to make them feel at ease to be on duty during the New Year.

Yang Heng felt that he had done the right thing now. Maybe he didn't have to worry about anything in the future. Once a person was arranged to take charge of these things, he would be able to do it properly.

The dumplings were finally made. The whole family was washing them and changing clothes. After sitting down in a big room. This time, Yang Hu removed all the tables, chairs and stools. What was he going to do? Drink tea? A younger brother or sister who was good at piano skills was playing the piano. The others were kneeling on the edge of a big case, and the younger generations were making tea. This was actually a way of drinking tea that Yang Heng mentioned, because until now, a fixed and inherited tea culture has not been formed in the Tang Dynasty.

What Yang Heng taught was a tea culture in the south of his previous life, which is Kung Fu tea. There was a small charcoal stove next to each case. This charcoal stove was burned with a fixed charcoal, and it was boiled with a mud pot on it. This tea was also a kind of tea made by Yang Heng. This tea was brewed with water from the square water. It was specially developed for the way of drinking tea in Kung Fu tea. The way children poured tea was also trained by Yang Hu at the sudden attack. However, these so-called children were just Yang Li and Yang Hu, not the group of babies. They were still too young, and Yang Hu was afraid that they would get hot.

"Well, it's good, it's good. Look at your way of drinking tea is beautiful." "Ah, Your Majesty, why are you here?" This makes the new servants on duty. You said Li Er is here, so you can give a signal. Since Li Er came a few times, some old servants have learned the signal. When Li Er Yi came, they just coughed a few times, and the servants inside knew who was coming, and they would notify Yang Heng and the others immediately, but today.

"Can I not come? If I don't come, can you see such a beautiful way to drink tea? Why do you wear all your dresses?" In fact, this is also a detail arranged by Yang Hu. He said that if you want to drink tea and form a tea culture, it is better to follow the ancient tradition mentioned by my elder brother. The ancient tradition is just kneeling and dresses, but it's just a while, and I will change it back when I have a meal.

"Your Majesty, please sit down, my mother, give your Majesty tea." At this time, only Yang Heng received Li Er, and his father and uncle were a little shocked. Li Er had not come for several years. They didn't know Li Er in the past few years, so they didn't feel anything. After knowing him, naturally there was no one who dared to speak.

"Old Cheng, come in and let us appreciate their new way of drinking tea. If I had known this, I would have brought Tang Jian here. Maybe only he could come to identify this way of drinking tea?" Li Er regretted a little. Why did the Cheng Fairy call out tonight? If he brought Tang Jian, not to mention the great scholars, at least Tang Jian is a civil servant, can he give some suggestions?
