"Why didn't you eat in the palace?"
"Who wants to eat out during the Chinese New Year? I'm just craving for the New Year's Eve dinner you made yourself!"
"Don't just say that, if you put down your chopsticks without taking a few bites, see how I deal with you!"
"Axiu, don't worry. I'm not bragging. I drink a lot of wine and eat like a hog!"
"Pfft! A loser? You are quite glorious!"
"That's right! I'm happy to be Axiu's rice cook!"
…
The self-proclaimed foodie was stunned as soon as he entered the dining room.
The large elm wood table, which can seat ten people, is covered with dishes and bowls. At a glance, there are at least twenty dishes. There is also a copper stove hot pot sitting in the middle, where kimchi and wild boar are being stewed. "Steaming.
"Axiu, are you exhausted?" Du Heng put down the plate and ironed three pieces of silk, turned around and held Princess Jing'an's hand, and kissed the cold hands lovingly, "Axiu, why are you so good?"
"Du Heng, this is the first time that a woman has prepared New Year's Eve dinner for you," Princess Jing'an looked at Du Heng with full eyes, and every word was full of deep affection. "This is also the first time that I have prepared New Year's Eve dinner for my husband with my own hands. I’m as happy and excited as you are about dinner.”
Du Heng felt that his eyes were starting to get hot again. He was a little annoyed. Why did a man in his forties suddenly turn into teardrops? He was so busy that he sat down with Princess Jing'an in his hand, took out the chopsticks and handed them to her. He went over and said to Princess Jing'an with a smile: "Axiu, just watch and watch how I make your meal."
Princess Jing'an couldn't help but giggle, and after she finished laughing, she added: "Don't eat too much, be careful not to hurt your stomach."
"No, as long as you cook, my appetite will always be good," Du Heng said without being polite. He picked up a chopstick of hot wild boar and ate it while hurriedly giving Princess Jing'an a thumbs up, "Axiu , this is the best for me. The first time you made it for me, I will think about it all the time. "
"I know you like this taste," Princess Jing'an looked at him eating like a glutton. She was very happy. While pouring wine, she said softly to Du Heng, "Don't keep eating in silence. Didn't we agree?" Do you want two cups?"
Du Heng was so busy that he finished chewing the big bone in three times, then wiped his hands, picked up the glass of Liuxiang wine, smiled and said to Princess Jing'an: "Do you need to say something else?"
"Yes," Princess Jing'an also laughed, "How about you say a toast?"
"Axiu, how do you think I look like a literary young husband?" Du Heng grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, "I'm a rough man, and I can't say any elegant words. I can just say what's on my mind. You Don’t think my words are harsh.”
Princess Jing'an looked at him with a smile, waiting for him to say.
"Axiu, give me a daughter next year," Du Heng looked at Princess Jing'an and saw her blushing face. He also wiped his chin in embarrassment and said, "Of course you are not the only one." Regarding human matters, I will cooperate with you well and strive to make our family from two to three by next New Year’s Eve.”
Princess Jing'an lowered her head and said timidly: "Even if I'm pregnant, how do I know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Du Heng said hurriedly: "We will go to the Niangniang Temple tomorrow and ask the Niangniang to give us girls! I heard that the Niangniang Temple is very good."
Princess Jing'an was amused by his serious look: "You really want a daughter? Don't you want a son?"
"As long as you give birth to a child, I love them all! Of course, it would be better if they are daughters." Du Heng chuckled.
