Chapter 261: Croquettes
It was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Bai Yue had already started to work in the kitchen early in the morning, not only her, Bai Xiao was also there, the day before yesterday, Bai Yue had already gone to the township with Wang Yan with a letter of introduction from the village chief to get a marriage certificate, and seriously speaking, Bai Yue and Wang Yan had become a family.
Of course, the two of them don't have a chance to spend candles in the cave.
Liu Baoguo was still a little surprised when he opened this letter of introduction at the beginning, because he really didn't expect that Wang Yan would really be able to become with Bai Yue, after all, how could the old Wang Tou's stubbornness allow his son to marry a woman who was married for the second time?
However, Bai Xiao didn't hide it, and made it clear about his brother-in-law's leaving the house, Liu Baoguo also gave a thumbs up, Wang Yan is indeed a real man.
happily opened a letter of introduction to him, but the two of them were also very strict, this matter was not told to the villagers, now it will only make the villagers gossip, and I am not sure how to point behind the back, there are many people in this village, and there are usually no leisure and entertainment that encounter a little bit of gossip, which can be magnified countless times.
Under word of mouth, it is not necessarily said that this matter is so fragrant.
Of course, Liu Baoguo knew how much this kind of rumor would hurt people, and he had already heard that Bai Yue and his family were going to follow Bai Xiao and them to the city, look at this, Bai Xiao, this is to pull his sister and brother-in-law's family, and in the future, people may settle in the city and never return to the village.
At this time, there is no need to make trouble for them in this matter.
However, Liu Hong knew that Bai Yue was going to the city, but she had been awkward with her parents for a long time at home, and she had long wanted to go to the city.
Bai Xiao rolled up his sleeves and was stuffing, there are a lot of things today, this is about to enter the New Year, according to the customs of the village, today is to stew meat on the stove to make things, their two stoves are now all boiling, Li Haiping is in charge of burning the fire today.
In the small pot on the kang stove in Bai Xiao's house, the beef that had been marinated all night last night had already been made. Now they have changed the pot and started to marinate the pork knuckles and pig's trotters, and the smell floated in the yard all night last night, causing them to sleep on the kang and their stomachs are gurgling.
It is estimated that everyone dreams of eating beef at night, and the taste is so fragrant.
Bai Yue made a big pot of tofu yesterday, and today I want croquettes and fried tofu. Fried roast pork, as well as fried fish, small crispy pork, the workload is really not ordinary.
Originally, Bai Yue wanted to make it herself, but seeing that Bai Xiao's craftsmanship was obviously much more skilled than her, and to be honest, Bai Xiao did cook well, and the taste was very delicious. Her eldest sister can only play on one side.
The roast meat in the other cauldron had already been cooked, Bai Yue took it out and put it on top of the bamboo curtain, waited until it was almost drained, and smeared a layer of honey on it.
The two of them are not polite, this big bag of things, really, all the food and drink are real things, but a lot of them are loaded.
Bai Yue is holding a bamboo skewer and piercing small eyes on those meat skins, so that the roast meat skin will be blistered, and it will look very good.
Bai Xiao's oil pot was already hot, but she bought 5 catties of peanut oil from Daji.
One hand neatly dug out a ball of meat filling from the basin, this meat filling, the material is full of not only white radish, tofu, meat, but also noodles, eggs and various seasonings, just smelling this smell is already very fragrant now, a ball of meat is now in the hand into a smooth one, the thumb and index finger form a circle, gently squeeze, the index finger of the other hand gently flicked out a round and round ball, gently slid into the pot.
Her movements were very fast, and after a while, the pot was full of fried meatballs, and as the peanut oil bubbled, the fragrance of the meatballs immediately spread out.
Li Haiping, the big brother of the old city, sat here to burn the fire, and couldn't help but drool when he smelled the fragrance.
Bai Xiao watched the balls change color, they were already golden yellow, took the fence and scooped it up, and put it in a big basin next to it. also pinched a ball and stuffed it into Li Haiping's mouth.
Li Haiping was so hot that his mouth was open and closed, but he was willing to be scalded even if it was delicious.
"Auntie, this ball is so delicious and fragrant. ”
This is their family's first year croquettes, in previous years in their house, they can't even eat enough on weekdays, how can there be any good things to eat during the New Year, even if it's grandma's croquettes, you can't put so much meat, basically they are vegetarian balls fried with radish flour, that's it, usually they eat at most one or two during the New Year, how can others have a chance to eat?
For them, the luxury of meatballs and roast pork is simply rich, and their biggest dream in the future is probably to eat this thing to their heart's content.
Bai Xiao smiled, "That's your aunt's craft, can you still believe it? Besides, the meat in our meatball is big! Wait until this ball is fried, put some green onions, ginger and garlic in a bowl during the New Year, mix it with water, put all kinds of spices, and steam it out on the fire, oops, that delicious!" Bai Xiao himself said drooling.
After all, she hasn't started cooking New Year's meals like this for many years, after she married Fang Xiaoshan in her last life, the days she spent in the Fang family were in dire straits, and she didn't suffer without her, she was the most, and after she escaped later, the opportunities in her life had taken a major turn.
Although she lived in the later days, big fish, big meat, shark fin, sea cucumber, anything could not be sent to her.
But I have never been able to eat the delicious food I ate with my parents, brothers and sisters when I was a child, which is why she did not hesitate to spend money to have a good New Year this time.
She wants to regain the taste of that happy year in her memory.
Even if Bai Xiao's hands and feet are neat, he didn't do it until the sun set, and everything was blown up.
Bai Yue looked at the big and small pots, one pot after another, and couldn't open her smiling eyes, just looking at these prepared New Year's goods, she could feel that this day was so happy and fulfilling.
The rest is to kill the chicken tomorrow, and the steamed buns will be steamed the day after tomorrow, and the village will implement the steamed buns to be eaten in the whole New Year.
The smell of the year has begun to permeate the entire village.
The year is getting closer.
