Chapter 50: New Year's Gifts Are Hard
The first update
At night, after Li Ping washed, she lay down comfortably, and she felt a little pain in her back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In the past half a month, she has worked hard to embroider more during the day. But it's winter, and the sun is just around for a while, so you can only open the windows and let the light in. So she had to endure the cold, and she really felt like her bones were stiff these days. It can only be relieved by taking a hot bath every day. Therefore, every day when I lie down, there is still the pain of breaking bones.
"Now that the debt has been repaid, don't work so hard anymore." Zeng Fan sat inside, turned her over, and gently rubbed her back. Tomorrow and tomorrow she was kneading it, but the flesh on her shoulders and neck was still as hard as a small stone.
He also reads at the desk every day, so he naturally knows how she got it, and he really feels like his heart is going to break.
"Your tuition is paid in January, and the days are very tight. There is also going home for the New Year, you can't always be empty-handed. The family has built a new house, but I am afraid that the exchange of gifts will not be missing. Besides, it's the first year I've entered the door, and I dare to slack off. Oh, by the way, and Master Liu's family, I always have to give some New Year's gifts to Master and Mrs. Liu! Li Ping sighed lightly again.
After she came to the provincial capital, the first person to visit Zeng Fan was Liu Fuzi and Mrs. Liu. Mr. Liu was a friend of his father, and the gifts he gave were also prepared by Mrs. Li at that time, as well as a box of handkerchiefs that Li Ping made for Mrs. Liu. Because I don't know what tricks Mrs. Liu likes, she chose plain colors and plain edges. But the edge of the rope is very exquisite, and if you look closely, it is composed of constant swastikas. These swastikas, whether they believe in Buddhism or believe, have good intentions. Even if you have no faith, you will feel auspicious.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu liked it so much that she praised Li Ping for her beauty and ingenuity, and she thought it was good to be a goddaughter. These days, the two families also come and go. If Li Ping did something good, he would not forget to send a bowl to the Liu family.
Now the Liu and Li families are really better than before, so this time, it doesn't matter what you send, but ingenuity is important.
But if there is ingenuity, it also costs money.
"Oh, and the second and third gentlemen!" Li Ping remembered something again, and couldn't help but snort again. Now she wants to die!
Zeng Fan laughed 'poof', he knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, he should feel guilty, but when he saw his little wife change her dignified and pleasant appearance outside, she hugged her head and moaned like a child at this time. It's really cute.
"I'll accompany you to marinate bacon tomorrow, originally the ancient rite 'Shujiao' actually refers to bacon. Sending two pieces of bacon to Mr. also represents the ancient meaning. "Zeng Fan is serious.
"I've heard of that, but ...... Well, tomorrow I'm going to buy two suckling pigs and come back. Sure enough, Li Ping had an idea as soon as she heard it, how uncreative it was to send bacon. It was too expensive to send a whole pig, so she decided to send two suckling pigs. It's cheap and good-looking.
"I'll do it when I get back."
"Why are you waiting, I let the Lilac sisters and brothers do it, and I don't dare to kill the pig." Li Ping gave her husband a roll of the eyes, feeling that this person was really, how stupid she was, and she didn't need to let her husband do this.
"If you have something to do yourself, you just wait for me to come back." Zeng Fan corrected his speech and emphasized.
"Okay, okay, I'll make you pig blood soup tomorrow to drink, it can clear your lungs and moisten your intestines." Li Ping didn't respond positively, knowing that he felt sorry for himself, it was done, and it was difficult to really point to him to kill pigs and sheep.
Zeng Fan lay down beside Li Ping and hugged her gently, "Although I'm sorry for being the least valuable, but now I can say that this is the only thing I can say." ”
"It seems that after listening to you, I don't feel so much pain." Li Ping smiled, she didn't say, 'Then don't say it'. Because she knew that if she didn't let him say it, slowly, he would take his own efforts for granted. After that, I didn't pay attention to it at all. Although he didn't know how useful it was, at least, he could remember it a little longer.
The next day, Li Ping did not buy one or two, but bought six small suckling pigs, because of the large amount, she asked the people from the Chen Family Restaurant to help slaughter them, clean them, and send them to the house. For the rest, let the master take it and distribute it to the guys who helped.
The guys are also very happy, they all know that Li Ping is the sister of the big shopkeeper, and the little master also lives in Li Ping's house, so it is necessary to talk to Li Ping. Where do you dare to give a reward, Li Ping didn't give a reward, but after sharing these and going out of the water, they can take them home, and they can also make a tooth sacrifice, and the big shopkeeper will not be angry, and they will work harder to do things.
Li Ping asked Ding Tong to put the six suckling pigs in the yard, and the blood in the pig's abdominal cavity was also very clean.
Cloves are not that can't be made, and she knows a little bit of marinating meat on weekdays, but Li Ping asked her to buy coarse salt, and she didn't let her grind it fine, so she added five spice grains and fried it together.
And Ding Tong went to wash the two water tanks, wiped them dry, and put them in a corner of the courtyard for later use. Seeing the Ding family sisters and brothers doing this happy way, it made Li Ping feel that it was a bit like the New Year, and it was clear that the New Year was still more than a month.
When the brothers came back in the evening, they were startled by the six little pigs in the courtyard. Brother Hao stared for a long time, and howled in the courtyard, "Sister, what's going on." ”
"Preparing for cured meat, what's your name?" Li Ping is in the kitchen, there are fresh pork livers and fat sausages, of course, they must be made well.
"So small, is there meat?" Zeng Yi was not afraid, but he felt that the pig was too small, and there was no cured meat, how could he eat it.
"I've eaten grilled, delicious, crispy skin and smooth meat, but I haven't eaten pickled." Brother Hao remembered that his family had eaten roast suckling pig, but he didn't feel anything anymore, "Sister, you might as well roast it." ”
"You can't bake it for long." Li Ping was quite calm, "Let's all wash our hands, finish eating, and let's pickle the pig together." ”
"Why?" Zeng Yi quit again.
"There is one for your husband's house, Brother Hao is not allowed to run, and one is for your father. So a piece of help! Li Ping's eyes were like a moment.
"It's only six heads, and it'll be done in a while." Zeng Fan smiled, but he was also interested.
Other people think about it the same way, and they are all glad together, and there is not cured meat, but one by one, which is more troublesome.
Everyone ate a lot at dinner, Zeng Fan still didn't let Li Ping do it, let her wear a little more, and command on the side, and he took his younger brothers to do it.
Except for Brother Hao, Zeng Yi is fifteen years old, and they are all tall and big, what can be considered to marinate some meat, two large vats, let the six suckling pigs face down, spread evenly inside. Each layer is sprinkled with coarse salt grains with five-spice powder, and then pressed on top with a grinding disc as a pressing stone. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, do you really think it's delicious?" Brother Hao is still a little worried.
"I haven't done it before, try it!" Li Ping shrugged her shoulders and walked into the house with her hands folded. (To be continued.) )
