In the Zhuang family, cooking is generally a woman's business, and most men do not interfere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut it's different during the holidays and the New Year, and the men will also follow to help.

For example, when it comes to killing chickens, sometimes Mrs. Xia does it, and sometimes it is Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia.

Today, when I want to shake the mutton, Mrs. Xia took out the copper pot and wiped it clean inside and out. The meticulous work of lighting the pot and lighting the charcoal fire was handed over to Uncle Xia San.

Uncle Xia San lit a charcoal fire in the yard, and the little black fish set off firecrackers in the yard, and after a while, smoke rose in the yard of the Xia family's backyard.

Then, the front and rear doors of the hall were also opened, and in order to ventilate, Mrs. Xia also asked Mr. Xia to come out and remove the two front doors. Soon, smoke came out of the room, and the aroma of frying and frying soon spread.

The little black fish ran more happily. Knowing that there were croquettes in the house, they ran into the house to ask for croquettes to eat. Mrs. Xia complicated croquettes, although she counted a few children on her lips, she still smiled and fished out a bowl of fried croquettes for the little black fish to eat.

"Don't run back and forth, and choke on the wind again. Mrs. Xia instructed.

Generally, croquettes are only fried during the New Year, but since life is good, children love to eat them, and Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia discussed that this August Festival will also fry some croquettes.

There are also many types of fried meatballs this time, in addition to the traditional tofu vermicelli vegetarian meatballs of the Xia family, there are also pork balls, mutton meatballs, fried sweet potatoes, fried dates, etc.

The freshly squeezed oil of the year is particularly fragrant.

Mr. Xia came out to watch it during the period, and he was very impressed, saying that everyone's posture is not much different from holding a banquet.

Mrs. Xia responded with a smile: "The banquet is not necessarily more affordable than ours, and it is rich." ”

Old Man Xia looked around and nodded: "That's right." Then he happily went back to the house to talk to Xia Xiucai and Uncle Xia.

At noon, the meal is ready to stop and the table is set.

Xia Zhi took out the thousand-ring hanging whip he bought, as well as a pack of two-kicking cannons. The little black fish surrounded the summer solstice and reached out to catch firecrackers.

Xia Solstice raised his hand to keep them out of reach.

"You still put this hanging whip, these second kicks are for the third uncle and Brother Daqiao, do you know?" Xia Zhi said to the big guy.

Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu expressed their dissatisfaction. Uncle Xia San smiled innocently beside him. Even if he is already the father of a son and a daughter, Uncle Xia San actually likes to set off firecrackers.

Xia Zhi gave the second kick ** to Uncle Xia San, told Uncle Xia to be careful, and then handed over the hanging whip of Qianxiang to Xia Qiao, and let Xia Qiao lead the small ones to prepare outside.

The food here was put on the table, and Mrs. Xia said something in the house, and Xia Zhi gestured to Xia Qiao and Uncle Xia.

Next, there is the crackling, which is mixed with the popping sound of ping pong.

When the big guys finished setting off all the firecrackers, everyone took their seats. Old Man Xia asked Third Uncle Xia to bring over the jar of wine that Xia Xiucai brought back.

There is still a lot of wine that can be drunk at home, and there is also good wine brought by Li Xia. However, on this occasion, Old Man Xia was willing to drink the wine brought to him by his eldest son. Even if it's water, that's his eldest son's heart.

Uncle Xia San slapped the mud seal of the wine jar and poured wine for the big guy.

The wine Xia Xiucai brought back this time was very good, and Old Man Xia was in a good mood, so he drank it one after another with Xia Xiucai and Uncle Xia. At the reunion dinner on the August Festival, everyone ate very happily.

Old Man Xia drank a little too much, and after the meal, he leaned on the kang head and closed his eyes to recuperate. It is said that the behavior of a person after being drunk can reflect the deepest character of a person. Old Man Xia is also very decent after drinking too much, even if he sleeps, he doesn't talk much.

Everyone was still cleaning up, but Old Man Xia suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Where is the second child?"

The big guy was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia.

However, Old Man Xia asked, then closed his eyes again, and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

"I drank too much and got confused. Mrs. Xia said a word, so that everyone didn't have to pay attention to Mr. Xia.

Old Man Xia did drink too much, and he was indeed worried about Second Uncle Xia's family again.

After cleaning up the lunch, Mrs. Xia barely rested, so she began to chop the meat stuffing again and prepare to make dumplings in the evening. Tonight's dumplings are naturally eaten by several people.

Mrs. Xia is really a very hardworking and competent housewife.

Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia San chopped the meat stuffing, didn't let Xia Zhi and Layue help, only let them play, and if they were tired, they would go to rest. Xia Zhi talked to Layue and returned to the front yard.

Tian was talking to Xia Xiucai in the house.

“…… For this food and clothing, I estimate that the money for this meal will cost a few taels of silver, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it. Eating like this, drinking like this, leaking a little from between her fingers, it was enough for her grandmother's family. Asking her to help her grandmother's family is like asking for her life......"

Tian was complaining to Xia Xiucai about her again. Moreover, the Tian family was probably stimulated by Fang Cai's pomp, and talked about how rich the Xia family was and how poor the Tian family was, so the Xia family should help the Tian family.

Xia Zhi stood in the hall for a while, didn't hear Xia Xiucai speak, and went back to the West House to rest.

Xia Xiucai and the Tian family now want to continue to fill the bottomless pit of the Tian family in Shantun'er, but they have no money in their hands, so they can only be obscene.

Xia Solstice can control their behavior, but they can't control what they think and say, and Xia Solstice doesn't care about these.

In the evening, the three groups of people in the front and back yards of the Xia family gathered together again to eat dumplings, eat moon cakes, and admire the moon.

On a sunny day, the moon was particularly large and round on this night.

"Li Xia must also be looking at the moon. Little Black Fish said suddenly.

Yes, what is Li Xia doing now, he must be admiring the moon, probably accompanying Li Shanchang and his mother. The family gathered together, and I don't know if Li Xia thought of her.

Xia Zhi decided that it was time to write a reply to Li Xia.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn in Beizhen Mansion has taken a sharp turn and goes straight to the rhythm of winter. The uncle of the Chen family took his two sons and drove to deliver fish to the summer solstice.

The fish had just come online in the morning. The two carts of fish, which were not too full, added up to five or six hundred catties, a total of more than 100 fish.

It could have been loaded with more, but the Chen family discussed it privately, and they were still afraid that the Xia Zhi family would not be able to eat so many fish. Anyway, the big lake that produces fish is at the doorstep, and when you want to eat fish on the summer solstice, you just need to send them a letter.

After collecting more than 100 fish, Xia Zhi immediately led the Xia family to get busy. Although the weather is getting cooler, raw fish cannot be stored.

Xia Zhi divided the work among the big guys, and the uncle of the Chen family and his two sons also stayed behind to help kill the fish.

On the summer solstice, these fish should be made into preserved fish and bad fish.
