had a meal at Mrs. Yue's house, and the two families said that they would let A-Yao study with Yingniang at the beginning of spring next year, and the guests and hosts would enjoy a feast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yingniang's family also has to sacrifice to the ancestors, and Mochizuki and they will leave and go back soon.

"Bird's Nest and I are both duckweed rootless people, there is nothing to worship, what about you?" Mochizuki led A-Yao back, she sighed softly, indescribably melancholy.

A-Yao clenched Mochizuki's hand, her home is in the lower reaches of the long river of time, and she is already standing in the upper reaches of time, maybe her ancestors have not been born yet, her parents are good, the fragrance of the pillar is unlucky, the more she thinks about it, the more she can't cry and laugh, holding Mochizuki's hand coquettishly: "I don't either, Master, there will be me and bird's nest in the future, today is the winter solstice, shouldn't you have a good meal?"

"You little gluttonous cat, don't eat it. Mochizuki knocked A-Yao on the forehead. "After the beginning of spring, I can read and study with Yingniang, if you can't read well, you don't want to learn from me. ”

"Obey the teacher's orders!"

The two of them smiled and went to the vegetable market first, and the mutton seller said hello when he saw that it was Mochizuki, took two pieces of mutton wrapped in mulberry paper from behind the stall and handed them over.

On the way back, Mochizuki explained to Yao, "...... It is the meat stall we often buy, all of them are old acquaintances, if you go early in the future, you can pay close attention to his meat cutting techniques, Ku Ding Jieniu, is talking about him so immersed in the slaughter and cutting of meat of the red case master, day after day, year after year, the knife work is perfect. Bird's nest is a child of Shuobei, and the winter solstice is used to eating mutton soup, but Mrs. Yue and I made an appointment today, and the mutton soup is too late, but we can make shabu mutton. ”

Shabu mutton!

"Okay!" Ah Yao remembered the taste of mutton shabu, saliva suddenly appeared, swallowed desperately, and felt hungry again not long after eating.

"Let's make red bean glutinous rice again, what about you, what did you do at home on the winter solstice before?"

"Glutinous rice balls, bean paste or rice balls with sesame filling, a bowl for dinner, it's delicious. A-Yao said that this is their family's tradition, the winter solstice, the New Year, the Spring Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival all eat rice balls, which means reunion.

Mochizuki smiled, counted the dishes to be prepared tonight, and called the bird's nest when he got home: "Everyone has to help today, don't be lazy." ”

The three of them entered the kitchen, Mochizuki called both of them first and assigned them tasks, shabu mutton is a big dish, but red bean glutinous rice and glutinous rice and rice balls can be put back, bird's nest is older, responsible for the preparation of sauces, and Ah Yao is responsible for making side dishes, but before that, she first taught the two to recognize meat.

Both servings of mutton were wrapped in mulberry paper, and a red letter was pasted on it, on which was written the sheep's brain, and the other was written as Keshabu.

When I opened it, there were only a few pieces of the sheep's brain, which added up to less than half a catty, and A-Yao pointed to the red paper and asked, "The sheep's brain is a sheep's brain?" ”

The red meat is white and fat, and the marble-like natural pattern makes you feel that the meat is tender and fat when you cook it.

Mochizuki picked up the mutton and showed it to Ah Yao and the bird's nest: "This is the meat on the back of the neck of the black-headed white ram that has been castrated outside the plug, the meat is delicate, the most important thing is that it is not fishy or fat, it is the top grade of shabu shabu, and a sheep can't produce a few taels; ”

The meat of the sheep's front legs is like a flat shoulder, lean and fat, and cucumber strips, because they look like two connected cucumber strips, the color is light red, and the fibers of the oblique two oblique ones must also be removed, and the rest are tender lean meat.

The total of these meats is only more than a catty, and the amount looks very small, and then put it into the pot......

Ah Yao looked at Mochizuki in confusion and asked her doubts, and saw Mochizuki and Bird's Nest covering their mouths and snickering, Bird's Nest pushed her aside, leaving the home field to her own girl: "Scallop, you wait and watch, don't blink." ”

Mochizuki picked up the dagger, A-Yao's eyes fell on her white and slender fingers, she removed the tendons of the mutton, cut the spatula obliquely, and carried the knife like flying!

There was no sound in the kitchen, but every time the knife was cold, A-Yao's eyes did not blink, more than a pound of meat was cut into eighty or ninety pieces by her, and finally picked up the mutton and put it on the blue glass plate, as if it was blooming, thin as paper, each slice was even, fat and thin, Mochizuki carved a chrysanthemum with radish again, and as soon as the hand was raised, the radish flower fell steadily in the middle of the glass plate.

"It's beautiful. ”

Ah Yao looked at it in a daze.

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, Yao Zhu, don't be stunned, hurry up. Mochizuki clapped his hands.

Ah Yao is in charge of the side dishes - sliced frozen tofu, shuifa vermicelli, Chinese cabbage head and sour cabbage, and finally serve the white skin sugar and garlic on a small plate. Pickled garlic and pickled cabbage were pickled in the past, and they could be taken out ready-made.

When she finished, the bird's nest was still busy collecting seasonings, green, white, and red dishes were placed on the table, and on the side was a crockpot of sesame paste and marinated shrimp oil. "Scallops, you're here just in time, I'll fry some pepper oil, and you can help make the sauce. ”

Mochizuki boiled the mushroom soup and sent sea rice, glutinous rice and red beans were also soaked in water, and when the bottom of the bowl of mutton was ready, the glutinous rice was ready to be made.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she came to Ah Yao's side, and most of the small bowls in front of the table had already been filled with sauce.

Loaded with chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chiek flowers on a small plate, watching her have fun preparing the sauce, Mochizuki picked up a small bowl of sesame sauce and took a small bite. "The tahini sauce is well adjusted, not thick or thin, and the taste is moderate. You add more soup to the sauce tofu and grind it into a paste, and the little bird's nest loves this. The dipping sauce of shabu mutton is also exquisite, the soy sauce is naturally sun-dried, the beans are full, almost not good, the vinegar is the smoked vinegar from Shanxi, the pepper oil is fried, and the marinated shrimp oil is indispensable, and it tastes so fresh. ”

It was not until dusk that the three of them came out of the kitchen.

The middle of the round table is naturally a red copper shabu-shabu, with a layer of tin hanging in the chamber, slices of mutton, frozen tofu, shuifa vermicelli, sliced sour cabbage, and fresh cabbage heads are served one after another, and when the sauce at the bottom of the bowl is put up, the table is filled in an instant.

Mochizuki took out the rice wine she brewed, patted the altar seal, the osmanthus fragrance was pleasant, and Xiaobird's Nest and A-Yao both got a small cup of wine.

"May we live every year today, and the days to come will be better and better!"

Mochizuki raised her glass, Ah Yao and Bird's Nest wished together, the three cups touched together crisply, Ah Yao took a sip, stuck out her tongue, spicy!

"Scallop, you can't drink enough, your face will be red when you brush it, you look at the bird's nest, and your face won't change color after eating. ”

The snow is falling outside, and the fragrance inside the house is full of heat.

Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this year's first snow means next year's harvest, and thousands of miles away in the capital, the emperor issued an edict after the sacrifice to the sky, the Tao is "the world is not guilty of floating escapees", the edict and the news reached Nanxun County, Pei Shuo smiled, he waited for so long, and finally came.
