Chapter 328: Chinese New Year's Eve Stew
"Paste the Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers......" Mao Mao and Tong Tong ran crazy all over the yard, scared the gold and copper coins to hide far away. The two children became more and more mischievous, often pulling their tails, fierce to outsiders, and to their own people, the two hounds were very tame.
Li Qingyun brought the Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers, while Yang Yunu carried a large piece of wild boar meat and handed it to her mother-in-law to stew. At noon in the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household stews meat, which is a local custom.
Li Chengwen took the wild boar, washed it, put it in the cauldron, and stewed it in a mess. Chen Xiuzhi was busy with the work in her hands, and shouted to her son outside: "Mi'er, the news that you bought a wild boar in the market yesterday has spread by everyone, do you want to send some to your grandfather and sister's house?"
"Not yet, but it's all cut, and I'll go when I finish pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Li Qingyun replied.
"When is it, now it's all starting to burn the pot, and if you don't send it, it's too late. Don't post it, I'll let your dad post it later, and you and Yunu will go and deliver meat to them. Chen Xiuzhi shouted.
If you have good things, you have to share them with those close to you, this is the local rule, and it is also a habit of the locals, if you don't share it, you will always feel awkward.
Yang Yunu is also a local, so she will not feel that her mother-in-law is biased, but she is happy to send things to other people's families. The Spring Festival couplets were handed over to Li Chengwen, and she and Li Qingyun went back to get wild boar. Mao Mao and Tong Tong followed behind, and they also wanted to go with them.
Just cut a hind leg, and the other pieces Li Qingyun cut are also relatively large, each piece has more than 30 catties, and the pig's head has also been cut off.
I am afraid that the bag is not strong, so I tie it with a rope. Li Qingyun carried a piece in one hand and didn't let his daughter-in-law do it.
"Which piece was given to my mother? Uncle, I want to pick the biggest piece, how do I think this pig's head is bigger." Maomao lay next to the wild boar and asked very tangledly.
"Then you can go home with a pig's head, as long as you can hold it, I will never say anything. Li Qingyun said with a smile.
"When I grow up, I'll definitely be able to hold it. Now...... Auntie, will you help me?" Mao Mao shook Yang Yunu's hand. Covet this big pig's head.
Yang Yunu just laughed. said that he couldn't hold it, but he couldn't help him, so he asked him to beg Li Qingyun to go.
Tong Tong was more sensible than him, and said with a smile: "Maomao is so stupid." Pig's head cannot be eaten. You see so many bones and burrs on its head. Where can I gnaw on it?"
"You're stupid, pig ears are very delicious, since they all grow on pigs' heads. Other places must be delicious, too. Mao Mao retorted.
Li Qingyun said with a smile: "You little fart, you like to eat pig's head at such a young age, when you grow up, don't grow into a pig's head." So saying, he put two pieces of meat on the ground, and found a long rope, and coiled the boar's head into a net, so that he could hold it firmly in his hand.
At this time, Maomao was finally satisfied, and everyone went on the road. When I arrived at the door of my sister's restaurant, there was a burst of meat aroma, and it seemed that it had been stewed. The Spring Festival couplets on the door of the hotel have long been pasted, and they are also printed Spring Festival couplets: "Special delicacies, flying birds, smelling fragrant phoenixes, aged wine, swimming fish, and tasting Jackie Chan." ”
"Mom, pig head, mom, big pig head......" Before she entered the door, Mao Mao was so excited that she yelled.
"Little rabbit, isn't it itchy again?" Li Qinghe's angry voice came from the kitchen.
Luo Jiandong also helped to scold: "Maomao, are you naughty again? ”
"No, I'm not scolding, come out and see, big pig's head. Mao Mao anxiously explained.
"Still scolding, I'll whip you to death a little turtle grandson......" Li Qinghe was extremely angry and held a small stick, wanting to teach his son a profound lesson.
However, when I saw my brother-in-law and younger brother covering their mouths and smiling, I immediately understood what was going on, the wild boar head in my brother's hand was indeed very big.
"Haha, Mao Mao is right, how do you say that he swears?" Li Qingyun pretended not to understand and grinned.
"The little doll's mouth can't speak, and you follow suit. How old are the people, they have all been married, and they are still so unserious. Li Qinghe glared at his younger brother, threw away the small stick in his hand, and then said, "The people who rushed to the market yesterday spread the news, saying that our rich man in Lijiazhai paid 10,000 yuan to buy a wild boar, and this is the head of the wild boar?"
"It only costs 10,000 yuan to cause such a big sensation? Hehe, in our town, the cost of advertising is too low. Li Qingyun smiled and put the pig's head at the kitchen door.
Brother-in-law Luo Jiandong also ran out to watch, and when he saw that his wife and brother had sent a large piece of wild boar meat and a whole pig's head, he hurriedly said a few polite words of thanks. Li Qingyun didn't talk to him politely, let them be busy with what they should do, and there was a piece of meat to give to their grandparents.
As soon as I entered the gate of the medical hall, I saw four old people sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun and playing mahjong. And the elementary school apprentice Qingfeng was serving tea and pouring water next to him, and he was very busy.
"Yo, how can a few people be willing to waste time playing mahjong today? A certain senior master often said, an inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time? Waste so much gold, no number of mahjong can not win back. Li Qingyun carried the pork, like a yaman who specializes in stirring up trouble, and said cool words.
"Lao Tzu is willing, can you manage it?" Sun Daqi knew that he was talking about himself, and immediately answered the phone and retorted.
Li Chunqiu's answer was quite gentle: "The meat is in the stewpot, and if you are idle, you are idle, and you are ready to win some money as a red envelope for the juniors." ”
"Old thing, you're going to die if you don't brag? Li Qingyun's grandmother demolished his stage and told the truth.
"Ahem, the person who can laugh to the end is the real hero. Isn't there an old saying, called connoisseurs don't win money in three sets. It's the fourth set, it's my turn to win. You see, isn't the good card coming, self-draw...... Give money, self-drawing, dark bars, all the same, no, you will earn it back all of a sudden. Li Chunqiu smiled proudly.
Several people scolded him for his good luck, and his grandson changed his luck as soon as he came, and in the chaotic shouting, Li Chunqiu piled up a handful of change in front of him. Since you don't play bloody battles to the end, one person has to start over if he wins the card.
"Yunu, don't forget to practice in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, study hard and practice hard to cultivate real kung fu, don't learn from a certain nouveau riche, except for eating, drinking and having fun, there is nothing serious to do. People finally hit the first wild boar, he actually paid 10,000 yuan to buy it, I rushed to the market to be a little later, and I didn't divide it, I just listened to people talk about it. Sun Daqi will repay him, and when he shuffles the cards, he doesn't forget to count a few words from Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun pouted: "Old man Sun, don't believe in rumors all day long, why buy a wild boar for 10,000 yuan, we only spend 8,000 yuan, okay? If you want to eat wild boar, you can go to me, why are you saying such cool things behind your back? No, I know that you want to eat wild boar, so I will send you a piece to satisfy your hunger." ”
"Whoever scarces your wild boar, take it away, look at it and get upset. Sun Daqi didn't appreciate it, he was ruthless, he made a mistake with a card, and he waved his hand angrily.
"I didn't give it to you, why let me take it, if you don't eat it, I will pay my grandmother to eat it." Li Qingyun said.
"That's it, Fuwa, don't pay attention to the old man, you go and cut a piece and cook it in the pot, and the rest of the meat has just been cooked. Granny Fu helped Li Qingyun speak.
Grandma also explained: "Fuwa, leave a little pure lean meat, mix it with ordinary pork and make dumplings to eat, which is more chewy." ”
"Good ......" Li Qingyun was about to get busy, the mobile phone rang, and after answering, it was his cousin Li Qinghu who called, saying that his father was back, and he brought back a lot of sauce and wine, and sent it to the door of the villa.
Li Qingyun hurriedly handed over the meat to his wife and asked her to help a few old people cut some of the pot, and she had to go back to the farm.
Running back to the farm, I saw a middle-aged man standing next to Li Qinghu from a distance, bald, red-nosed, smiling when he saw people, and never leaving his cigarette. Between the two, there is a large plastic wine barrel, which can hold fifty or sixty catties of liquor, and the wine is slightly yellow.
"Third uncle, when will you get home?" Li Qingyun happily ran over, took out a good cigarette, and let one go.
"I only got home last night, and it was not easy to go for the Spring Festival, but fortunately, a familiar friend drove me back in a van. I brought a few barrels of local soy sauce wine, and I heard my father say that you like to drink now, so I will send you a barrel to taste. Hehe, this wine can be regarded as brewed by my own hands, see if my uncle has been in vain outside all these years?" Li Chenggong said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go inside. Li Qingyun said, opened the door, and invited them to come in and talk.
This barrel of more than fifty catties of wine, Li Qinghu seemed to be playing with it, without the help of others, he easily brought it to the living room and put it next to the tea machine.
The three of them chatted a few words, and also mentioned the expansion of the distillery, Li Chenggong wanted to conduct an experiment in the village to see if the area leaving Moutai Town could make good soy sauce wine.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Chenggong and Li Qinghu were going home, saying that they would not be happy to drink and eat outside in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Li Qingyun also knew this rule, and he didn't say too many polite words, just asked them to wait, and went to the basement to get two jars of old wine for the fifth grandfather to drink.
Li Qingyun came up with two ten-pound jars, and Li Qinghu hurriedly took them. Li Chenggong was not polite, and said with a smile: "I just came back, I heard from your fifth master, saying that the good wine at home has been sold out, and I can only ask for a little from you to go back to satisfy my hunger, then I am not welcome." ”
"That's polite, when the new winery is built next year, I don't have to find the fifth master and the third uncle if I want to drink good wine. Li Qingyun said, sending them out of the farm, and then returned.
Someone has already fired a cannon, and at noon in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it means that it is time to eat. Not only do you have to eat with your own family, but you also have to worship the gods, so that the gods in the sky also come down to eat, and it is an inevitable custom to burn incense and paper.
Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu went back to their old house and had dinner with their parents. Tong Tong was taken back by her father, and Li Qingmu has a little conscience, if he doesn't even care about his daughter, Li Qingyun will get rid of him next year, and he will never recruit such a person to manage the chicken farm for him.
The family reunion is called the New Year. However, at this moment of reunion, Li Qingyun remembered Michelle again, I don't know how she is doing now, has she been caught by the people of the Onion Association? (To be continued......)
