Chapter 419: Festive
Sun Lan'er took some unsoaked dates and went back, and soon came back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"My mother heard that you were going to deliver balls to my house, and her coke was broken, so I asked me to come over and help you quickly. Sun Lan'er whispered to Xia Zhi, and then she discussed with Xia Zhi, "Why don't I call Qian Nier." ”
"That's fine. Xia Zhi nodded in agreement.
A few years ago, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia both told Tian Daidi that they would let their family come over to celebrate the New Year together. This is considering that their days have just passed, and they are afraid that they will not have anything to celebrate the New Year. However, Tian Daidi refused. Although their family's life is still tight, with the income of Qian Erlang and Qian Nier, they can still get by.
After all, it is a day of special significance like the Chinese New Year, Tian Daidi doesn't want to cause trouble to the Xia family, and of course Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia will not be reluctant.
However, Tian Daidi's family should not have many things to prepare for the New Year, and calling Qian Nier over will not affect anything.
Sun Lan'er happily went to find Chanier. Sun Lan'er should have told Qian Nier that she was asked to help, so Qian Nier was also happy, and asked Xia Solstice what she was going to do as soon as she entered the door.
"There's no rush. Xia Zhi said this, and when he saw that the dates were soaked, he asked Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier to deal with the dates first. Dig out the jujube core and leave only the jujube meat, and you can make fried jujubes.
"Sister Qiannier, what kind of dishes do you cook for the New Year?" Xia Zhi chatted with Qian Nier while digging jujube pits.
"There's nothing to cook, just steam a bowl of meat, stew a pot of sauerkraut, and a fish ......," Channier told Xia Solstice with a smile. Although the dishes are not abundant, there are also fish and meat.
Tian Daidi is still very good at living.
"We haven't had a Chinese New Year like this in years. Channier was still happy. Such a New Year's dinner is already very rich in Qian Nier's family.
"It's definitely getting better and better every year. "The summer solstice said.
"Hmm. Channier nodded heavily, "It's still a good time on our side." ”
Although Bukjin Province has a long and cold winter, because of the vast land and fertile soil, people's lives are generally comfortable.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of Tian Daidi. There is a saying that you should raise your head to marry a woman, and you should bow your head to marry a woman. There are several layers of meaning in this, one of which is that the girl's family often marries into places and people with better conditions than her mother's family.
For example, girls in the mountains generally marry in the plains, and girls in the vicinity of towns often marry in more affluent towns.
But if it's selling a daughter, then you can't think about it so much. Those who buy wives are often located in remote areas and have a lower standard of living.
For example, Tian Daidi, the old man Tian only had the money in his eyes back then, and he didn't think about where the money merchant took Tian Daidi and what Tian Daidi's life would be like in the future.
The three of them, plus the eldest girl and the second girl, all the preparations for the croquettes were done in a while. Xia Zhi considered that Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier had to go back to their homes for the New Year, so as soon as they saw that the batter was ready, they took the oil and started to fry the croquettes.
The big iron pot was clean, the eldest girl and the second girl were responsible for the fire, Xia Zhi poured the oil with his own hands, and then Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier began to make croquettes.
Sun Lan'er has fried meatballs, but Qian Nier has not. But Channier is ingenious, and she learns by looking at it. However, when frying vegetarian meatballs, Sun Laner still operates it herself, she doesn't use any tools, only one hand, and the squeezed out meatballs are the same as those made by the machine, even and beautiful.
Qian Nier couldn't help but praise Sun Lan'er for her dexterity.
The eldest girl raised her hand to see it, but she didn't say anything, she lowered her head and lit the fire.
I don't know why, the eldest girl and Sun Lan'er always have some disagreements. However, Sun Lan'er is a kind girl, and she takes care of the emotions of the people around her.
"Thanks to the big girl's fire, the fire is just right. Sun Lan'er smiled and said that this means that she is unwilling to take credit alone.
"Sister Lanzi is very skillful, she can do anything. The eldest girl also smiled, "Sister Qian Nier, you are also skillful, but you have never done this before." We can't get our hands on croquettes and Erya. ”
"I'm next to a good family. Sun Lan'er smiled, and her subordinates were not affected at all, "I can't do such a pretty job in my family." It's not my turn to eat. ”
The eldest girl stopped talking.
"I've never fried croquettes at home. But if there is anything delicious, my mother will not refuse to give it to me. Channier said.
The vegetarian balls are fried first, and then placed on the fence to control the oil. Xia Zhi picked up a bowl first and let Xiao Shu'er taste it first. Xiao Shu'er inhaled while eating, and said it was delicious. Then the summer solstice let Sun Lan'er, Qian Nier, the eldest girl and the second girl taste it.
Several little girls shook their heads, and in the end, they were persuaded by Xia Zhi to eat one by themselves. Even the bridge was found by Xia Solstice and shoehorned into a ball.
Xia Qiao also said that the meatballs were delicious.
During this period, Xia Zhi also ate one himself, and felt that this vegetarian meatball fried Xuanxuan was soft, moderately salty, and the taste was really good. She picked a bowl and sent it to the backyard. But before she could deliver it, the little black fish came.
The little black fish saw the chimney on the summer solstice smoking, and then smelled the smell of croquettes, so he came here.
"Sixteen, you blew it up first?" the little black fish was surprised and delighted.
"Uncle, you're just in time. "On the summer solstice, let the little black fish sit down, and then pick up balls for the little black fish to eat.
The little black fish is never polite to Xia Zhi, and he doesn't use chopsticks, so he grabs the balls with his hands to eat. The little black fish also said that this ball is delicious. But the summer solstice won't let him eat more.
"Uncle, you eat less, and you'll fry something else later. "And Mrs. Xia in the backyard, Aunt Xia San will have croquettes in both places, and the little black fish can eat one at the same time, but I am afraid that they can fill their stomachs, so how can they eat other delicious things."
The little black fish also listened to the persuasion, and then sat next to Xiao Shu'er and didn't leave, waiting for Sun Lan'er to fry the dates.
Xia Zhi instructed Sun Lan'er to look at the little black fish and the little tree: "Don't let the two of them eat too much." Don't let them run out and get into the wind again. ”
Sun Lan'er agreed with a smile.
Only then did the summer solstice bring the balls to the backyard.
Mrs. Xia and the others were still making preparations, and Tian also followed to help. When they saw the balls sent by Xia Zhi, they were all surprised.
"It's still sixteen. Second Aunt Xia first came to pick up the bowl in Xia Zhi's hand.
Xia Zhi naturally bypassed Aunt Xia and handed the balls to Mrs. Xia. "The first pot that just came out was given to my grandfather and my grandmother to taste. ”
Mrs. Xia took the balls with a smile, and then brought a pair of chopsticks over and handed them to Mr. Xia. "Taste it, sixteen fried meatballs. ”
Old Man Xia smiled and tasted a ball, and then said okay. "It's soft and good. ”
Then Mrs. Xia also tasted one, and the evaluation she gave was more professional. The balls sent by the summer solstice are not only soft, but also more elastic~ sexual.
This is the best vegetarian ball.
"My mother's noodles, I asked Sister Lanzi and Sister Qian Nier to help me fry them. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia echoed and said that the Tian family was skillful and capable. Tian's face originally had no expression, but it looked much better at this time. She also asked when Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier would come to Xia Zhi.
"With your eldest sister and second sister, let them go back early, and people will also celebrate the New Year. Tian also said to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi naturally agreed.
It's the New Year, and this big family is really happy.
Old Man Xia sat on the kang and looked at the eldest son and second son sitting next to him, and he smiled more and more happily.
"Where's your uncle? Mrs. Xia asked the summer solstice.
"It's in the front yard. Xia Solstice replied.
Mrs. Xia looked at her like this: "Don't let him eat too much." This kid, I said, why is he running so fast? ”
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "Definitely." ”
came out of the upper house~ and met Xiao Xia Lin, and Xia Zhi brought this little baby with him. "Let's go, let's eat meatballs with my sister. ”
Of course, Xiao Xia Lin would not refuse, and happily followed Xia Zhi.
Back in the front yard, this will work, Sun Lan'er has finished frying vegetarian meatballs and started to fry sweet meatballs. First of all, there are fried dates, and then there are fried sweet potatoes.
Every time one is fried, the summer solstice will taste it for the big guy first, and then send a bowl to the backyard. After the meatballs were fried, Xia Zhi brought a big bowl again, filled a big bowl for Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier, and asked them to take it home.
Sun Lan'er knew about it a long time ago, and she didn't excuse Xia Zhi. Qian Nier was very embarrassed. For the Xia family, for the summer solstice, their family is unable to repay them. Xia Zhi asked her to help with the work, she was the happiest, but she didn't expect Xia Zhi to give her so many balls.
"Sister Channier, what are you still polite to me? Let you come here to eat, but you won't come, and you don't want to give you some balls. Why do you see me like this? You learn from Sister Lanzi. ”
Sun Lan'er persuaded Qian Nier: "Hurry up and bring it back, or it will be cold in a while." ”
"I don't even know what to say. Qian Nier laughed at what everyone said, and then took the balls home.
Sun Lan'er helped Xia Zhi pack up everything neatly before leaving. As soon as she went out with the balls, she had already seen Da Mao and Er Mao probing their brains at the front door.
This is still Da Mao and Er Mao are afraid of the summer solstice, otherwise they would have entered the yard long ago when they smelled the smell of frying.
Xia Zhi put the balls in a large basin and covered them. If you want to eat the fried meatballs later, you can eat them as long as you boil. In addition, it can also be used to make meatball soup, stewed meatballs, etc., which is simple, convenient and delicious. Many children simply eat it as a snack during the Chinese New Year.
After packing up, the summer solstice is going to the backyard. She asked the eldest and second to go with her. Today's New Year, the eldest girl and the second girl obviously have to go to the backyard for dinner.
"We'll go back later. Summer solstice, when the backyard is done, you let people call us. The eldest girl said carefully to Xia Zhi.
There was a miscarriage, and after the eldest girl returned to Daxingzhuang again, she was not happy to go out, nor was she happy to go to the backyard of the Xia family.
The eldest girl has always been a very thoughtful girl.
Xia Zhi was not reluctant, so she let the eldest girl and the second girl take care of the house, and she and Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Heiyu'er, and Xiao Xialin all went to the backyard.
The backyard has also burned the oil pan and started to fry croquettes. This busy work is so busy that people can hardly turn around in the hall. Mrs. Xia didn't let Xia Zhi touch her hands, and only let her look at Xiao Heiyu'er, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin.
"They were made to run around. No one can see them, and they will listen to you when you speak. "Mrs. Xia instructed the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi agreed with a smile, and took the little black fish and the little tree to sit on the kang in the west house. But it's strange that these leather boys can sit still. After sitting for a while, the little black fish asked for firecrackers from the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi was busy finding Xia Qiao again, and asked Xia Qiao to lead the little black fish to set off firecrackers.
The backyard of the Xia family is even more lively.
Xia Zhi didn't sit still very well, so she followed. As soon as Mrs. Xia fried some meatballs, she called Xia Solstice to taste them. Other grandchildren, as well as her youngest son, Little Black Fish, were not treated like this.
The meatballs fried by Mrs. Xia are another taste.
"Milk, don't forget to make sweet potatoes later. Xia Zhi didn't forget to remind Mrs. Xia.
"Don't forget, I know you all love that. I'm all ready for sugar. Mrs. Xia responded with a smile.
Summer Solstice came out of the house. In the yard, the little black fish, the little tree, the little Xia Lin and the summer poplar were all jumping up and down with firecrackers.
Xia Zhi vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, but she didn't think much about it because she was infected by such a lively and festive atmosphere. The little black fish has already handed over the fresh fragrance, so let Xia Solstice also set off a firecracker to try.
"I'll take it for you, and you'll just light the fire at sixteen. The little black fish heroically held a small cannon battle with inches long and finger-thick in his hand.
"You are not allowed to hold it with your hands, but you are to put it in the ground. "Summer Solstice shouted.
But Little Black Fish and Little Tree didn't listen to her anymore.
Xia Zhi glanced sympathetically at the Xia Bridge next to him. Xia Qiao smiled, watching the children play or something, this job is really not easy.
The little black fish put off all the firecrackers at hand, and he was still unsatisfied. He ran over to ask Xia Zhi to take a whole hanging whip and put it in the loop.
"Uncle, now that you've finished putting the whip down, what are you going to put when you eat?" Xia Zhi asked, holding his hands.
The little black fish was not blindfolded at all: "Sixteen, you don't know how to count." There are so many old ones, I can't put them all down, I know them in my heart. ”
"Haha!" Xia Zhi couldn't help laughing, turned around and really took a whole hanging whip and gave it to the little black fish.
The little black fish was overjoyed, and wrapped a whip around his neck and waist indiscriminately, and took Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Xia Lin, and Xia Yang away. Xia Qiao smiled helplessly, so he had to follow.
At this time, Xia Solstice finally realized that something was wrong.
The boys are setting off firecrackers here, what about Xia Zhu?
May and July don't seem to be helping out in the hall either. Are they all hiding in the East Wing? It's weird.
Just as she was thinking about this, she saw Layue and Chen Xing'er running from outside.
"What are you two doing?" asked Xia Zhi.
"Sister, you come with me. Layue didn't answer, but only pulled Xia Zhi's hand out.
"What's the matter?" the summer solstice is inexplicable.
"You'll know when you go. Layue said in a low voice.
