They are all men in charge, and soon everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and they have to start working in the afternoon. Yang Xiaobei, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also began to prepare lunch, although there was only the uncle's family, but it couldn't stand the large population, and a table couldn't sit down. According to the old rules, women and children are not allowed to go to the table, but now although women can hold up half the sky, but in the house of the rules, the hostess always has to take care of the side when eating, adding wine, serving meals, and always entertaining guests. As for the little radish head, you can't let them stay at the table honestly, they always like to run all over the ground with their rice bowls.

So Yang Xiaobei still only prepared one table. There are no good dishes, as the saying goes, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and there are no raw materials and no skills. Speaking of which, her ability to cook vegetables is because she is a foodie. Since childhood, as long as there is something delicious, I always have to find a way to learn how to make it. People praised her for being diligent and sensible, and she knew how to help in the kitchen when she was a child. My mother could only silently tears flow in her heart -- where is this baby diligent! Purely disgusted that my mother didn't have time to help her cook all kinds of delicious food, she rolled up her sleeves!

In the morning, I was busy in the kitchen, and I had already planned my lunch meal in my heart. The second uncle killed a chicken, stewed half of it for the second aunt, and left half of it plus a large handful of sun-dried radish slices, and boiled a big pot, this is a hard dish. In the morning, the bones of the meat were removed, lotus root was added to it, and it was hung on the stove and stewed for two hours. This is the famous red lotus root in Hubei Province, and only this kind of lotus root can be stewed into such a taste. In later generations, even if they are claimed to be red lotus roots, Honghu lotus roots, they have actually been changed to artificial planting, which is far worse than the current pure wild taste.

Except for these two stews, there are only a few stir-fried dishes left. A boiled cabbage, a dry stir-fried lotus root slices, and a plate of radishes, plus a bowl of duck neck, duck wings and the like that Yang Xiaobei took out before. I managed to make up 6 dishes. The hometown pays attention to the number of pairs, but you can't make a singular number out and be laughed at by others.

The eldest aunt volunteered to help make the fire, but she didn't believe it! At first glance, it was a style that had never worked, and you could see that the hands, white and tender like green onions, could cook, she believed it, and she didn't believe how delicious she cooked. I've been doing it all my life, and I've never heard anyone from the old Yang family praise the good craftsmanship, hmph!

When Yang Xiaobei started stir-frying, the eldest aunt was convinced. This action is smooth, at first glance, it is a veteran, and the method of stir-frying is also very different, it smells fragrant, and it looks good. She then pouted her lips again, "Cooking costs so much oil, can it not be delicious?" Everyone is usually short of oil and water, so when stir-frying, take a piece of oilcloth or fatty meat, and wipe it in the pot, even if there is oil and gas, you have to add water and boil it, how can you carry the oil pot like a sister-in-law like this!

Not to mention the belly slander of the eldest aunt, Yang Xiaobei only felt that it was more difficult to cook these dishes than cooking a large table of dishes before. There are only two kinds of vegetables in the field at this time, radish and cabbage. The lotus root is dug by everyone on the lake beach, and no one cares, as long as you are diligent and not afraid of freezing, you can eat as much as you want. In '79, the policy had been much more relaxed, and although it was not explicitly stated that it was not allowed to do business, no one cared about the big guys' usual sale of local products and small business. But the people in the village don't go out either, so they don't know about it at all. And everyone is digging in the soil, who knows that?

After a good year, she first purchased some rice and flour at home, and then looked at the market situation and brought her family to do business, with her foresight for so many years, is it possible that she is still hungry and poor? She is not unfamiliar with her father and aunt, but she does not want to wronged herself and her family. Besides, she's just waiting for them to come and tell him about it, so she can talk about her plans!

Everyone ate a meal, and the uncle and his wife were not wasting their own food anyway, and they were happier than anyone else. Grandpa, they thought that the little sister definitely didn't know how to save materials, but for the New Year, it would be better to eat well, and they were not stingy people, so what did they care! The children were the happiest, the sister-in-law was beautiful, there were delicious snacks, and the cooked meals were delicious! In the past, they didn't like to go to the old mansion very much, but now they don't think so. According to my current thoughts, I can't wait to come back every day in the future.

After a good meal, everyone started to get busy. The eldest uncle went to invite the cook, and the second uncle and grandfather had to tidy up the house and prepare the guests to come to the door. Dad took Yang Xiaobei to pack the happy cakes and eggs that went to report the good news tomorrow. A piece of red paper is cut into small squares, wrapped in a small shortbread and red eggs, and then tied with a rolled straw rope. Yang Xiaobei just rubbed a straw rope and his palms turned red, this straw hit the water, and he couldn't loosen the rope in one breath, but it was really a technical job! Hey, I miss the ubiquitous packaging box in later generations!

As for the eldest aunt, she didn't even help clean up the bowl after eating a good meal, so she used the excuse of going home to take care of the baby. But everyone has long been accustomed to her style and went with her. It's not lazy, the uncle's house is well organized, and the children are cleaner than others. She just can't help other people's families, so how much loss will she have to suffer?

In the year, it is said that they don't work, and everyone only eats two meals, generally eating late in the morning, eating another meal in the afternoon, and going to bed early in the evening, and saving food. Today, at noon, a guest cooked a good dish, and in the evening, he casually heated the leftovers and made up for it. This is what is done in the countryside, Yang Xiaobei has long been used to it, but her father was afraid that she would be hungry, so he repeatedly told her to cook sugar water and eggs for her second aunt, and she also burned two to eat. Although it's just two eggs, my father, as the little hairy head of the family, can't call the shots, it should be my grandfather who told him to say it. Grandpa was always like this, the strictest with the children, afraid that they would be exaggerated and insincere, and silently kept the best things for the children, never saying half a word.

I remember listening to my father's memories that when he was young, his family was so poor that he never ate white rice. In winter, it is sweet potato rice, and in summer, it is wild vegetable rice and pumpkin rice. When it was time to eat, my grandfather, who was the head of the family, was the first to serve the rice, and always shoveled the pumpkin and sweet potatoes at the bottom into his bowl with a spatula......

Grandpa did manual work, and he ate all these unnutritious grains, which were all overdrawn to his body, which was also the reason why he aged early and died early! Every time my father talked about it, his eyes were red, and he always felt that he was ignorant, and he always blamed his father for his bad temper and love to get angry.

In fact, he was the youngest in the family at that time, and everyone always tried their best to save some good food for him, plus his grandfather was silent, never expressed his love for the children, but only doubled his strictness, so where did the young children know this?
