Du Yue watched Yuan Qing go out of the courtyard door, the sky was dark outside, and Yuan Qing who entered the night could no longer be seen, so he also closed the door of the hall, turned off the lights, and prepared to sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, starting at noon, Qiao'er began to be busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, there are not many people, and there is not much to eat, but the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it can't always be like usual, just enough to eat, there must be some leftovers, there is more than every year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has to be prepared more, so Du Yue is not idle, helping in the kitchen together. Although in front of Qiao'er, she is the master, but Du Yue never puts any money from the master, and she is not used to it.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also called a reunion dinner, and Du Yue thought that he was eating alone, and he was bored, so he simply called Qiao'er and Zhengde brothers and sisters to eat together. Although this is not like the previous life, in the big winter, you can get any ingredients, but there are many dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the whole eight dishes are basically full of a large plate, so of course there is only half left, especially the fish, Du Yue only ate a few bites, thinking that every year there is more, Du Yue will not finish eating.

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Liu Tianming's family had to go to the old house, so they had lunch, Liu Linshi also passed the old house, helping to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Yuan Ping also followed Liu Linshi, although not much to do, but to help start, it is okay.

"Yo, I finally knew that I was here, and I thought you would wait until you had dinner to come." Since Liu Lin exposed her to the old lady a few days ago, Liu Wu has hated Liu Lin so much, no, as soon as Liu Lin entered the door, Liu Wu began to speak.

"I want to wait for the meal to come, but look at you like this, don't wait until the time is over, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal will not be ready." Liu Lin is not easy to mess with, usually don't look at her silently, but she is not bullied, so when she heard Liu Wu's words, Liu Lin went back.

"Okay, don't be noisy, hurry up and do something, and you will have to worship your ancestors later. One by one, it's going to be the New Year, and it doesn't make people live in peace. "Today, the old lady was helping in the kitchen, and when she saw that the two daughters-in-law were about to quarrel as soon as they met, she said impatiently.

When Liu Lin heard the old lady's words, he didn't say anything, and he found what he could do and began to do it. Liu Wu also pursed his lips and continued to get busy with the work at hand. Xiao Liu Li's is also washing the dishes in his hands.

On Chinese New Year's Eve here, it is necessary to sacrifice to the ancestors and the land lord before they can start eating, and at this time of year, Liu Lin must come to help, sacrifice to the ancestors, and have to prepare some things, chicken, pork, etc., are all must.

When Liu Lin came, the chickens had already been killed in the old house, and they were scalded in a pot with boiling water, just waiting for the hair to be removed. But this work has always been done by men, and at this time it is the eldest brother Liu Tianrun who is doing it.

Liu Tianrun has never been involved in the affairs of the women in the family, so when his daughter-in-law and brother-in-law are arguing, he does not say a word.

"Scoop up the water." After Liu Tianrun took off all the chicken feathers, he poured all the original water in the basin and ordered the woman in the kitchen to scoop the water.

Liu Wu put down the work in his hand, picked up the scoop, scooped up a spoonful of cold water, poured it into the basin, scooped up a hot water mixture, and stood there without moving. Liu Wu has always been able to do things without doing things, and now that he has found an opportunity to be lazy, where will he let it go.

But at this time, the old lady didn't say anything about her, knowing that she was this kind of character, she couldn't change it, and now she said that she had to be angry, and she didn't want to be angry for the New Year. I don't have to spend the next year in anger. The old lady believes in these things very much, and thinks that during the New Year, if she gets angry, she will be angry all year round.

There was an old lady in the kitchen to suppress it, and although Liu Wu was lazy occasionally, he didn't dare to make any more trouble. So at this time, the people in the kitchen are doing their own thing, and no one dares to find the old lady's bad luck at this time.

"The second one, your craftsmanship is good, you can cook this chicken." The old lady instructed, this chicken is also very particular about cooking, if you let Liu Wu's cook, either the skin has to be boiled and cracked, or it is half-cooked, but Liu Lin's, every time it is cooked just right, in this place, it is particular about raw chickens and cooked ducks, but the so-called raw chickens are not the kind of half-cooked cooked by Liu Wu, but cooked until the whole meat is cooked, but the chicken bones are still a little bloodshot, such chicken, the most tender. So in the past few years, it has been cooked by Liu Lin's almost every year.

Liu Linshi did not shirk, put down the work in his hand, and began to cook the chicken, boiled chicken, the water can not be too much, but not too little, too much water, after a while the soup will have no taste, less water, the chicken can not be evenly cooked, and there are so many people in the family, don't eat at night, one person can't get a bowl, so the water is based on the chicken that has just been soaked, in this way, the chicken will be evenly cooked, the noodles are not cooked on one side, the other side is either not cooked, or the skin has been cracked.

After the chicken is put in, it is necessary to put all the pork into it, and the pork is cut from the head of the meat to the tail of the meat, which is called having a head and a tail. When the ancestors are sacrificed, the chicken and pork must be put on the table.

By the beginning of the afternoon unitary hour, Liu Lin's had already cooked the chickens and pork to be sacrificed to the ancestors, and put them into the basket that was placed on the side.

When they went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, the women of the family were not allowed to be present, so this matter could only be done by the men of the family.

When the sacrificial things were ready, Liu Lin went to the hall and said to the men in the family: "The things are ready, you can go and worship the ancestors." ”

"All the children in the family will follow, and let the ancestors bless you all grow up safely." The head of the family, Liu Tianming and his father Liu Yufa spoke.

Liu Yufa took the lead, Liu Tianrun followed behind with the sacrificial offerings, followed by Liu Tianming, Liu Tianqi's two brothers, and a bunch of children in the family, followed by a long list.

The door of the ancestral hall is not closed at this time, and it is all wide open for everyone to come and worship their ancestors. After Liu Yufa's family arrived, the ancestral hall was already full of people, and many of the first people had already put on the offerings and started to sacrifice, Liu Yufa followed most of the people, all waited outside, and waited for the people inside to come out before they could go in again, after all, there could only be three or four offerings on the altar, and no more could be placed.

"Happy New Year." Liu Yufa arrived at the door of the ancestral hall and greeted everyone in the village.

Fortunately, Liu Yufa's family didn't come too late, it was only a while, and it was his family's turn, and they went in with their own sons and grandchildren. As soon as Liu Tianrun put down the basket, Liu Tianming took the initiative to remove the lid, took out the offerings inside, and placed them on the offering table. Liu Tianqi helped with the rice bowl and chopsticks, and after Liu Tianrun put the flat shoulder aside, he also began to help with the tea and wine. The speed of the crowd is fast, and in a while, all the offerings prepared at home are taken out.
