Chapter 190: Four Families' Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

At the beginning of the day, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yun got up to prepare the hot pot materials to be eaten in the evening, although there were many people this time, but with the help of Xuejuan's mother and daughter and Aunt Li, she would not be very tired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info plus is to eat hot pot, you only need to prepare the ingredients, when the time comes, what you want to eat, just pick up the vegetables and cook them in the pot.

"Is Miss Yun at home?"

"Yes." Yang Yun heard someone calling her outside the door, so she hurriedly ran to open the door, and as soon as she opened the courtyard door, she saw Xue Juan standing outside the door.

"Sister Xuejuan, why are you here, hurry up and enter the house, it's cold outside." Yang Yun invited Xue Juan into the house.

"I heard that Mr. said that tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, several families will merge to eat at Mr. Xu's house, Mr. asked me to see what can help." It turned out that Kong Zhongkan called Xue Juan to help, and it was just in time, Yang Yun was short of helpers to prepare the ingredients.

"Sister Xuejuan, you came just in time, I am preparing food, I want to eat hot pot tonight, I only need to prepare raw ingredients, and when the time comes, everyone can eat whatever they like."

"Hehe, it's the first time I've heard that you have to cook your own food for dinner."

"This is my new way of eating, you will know it tonight, come and help me cut vegetables." Yang Yun pulled Xue Juan and got busy.

After grandpa gets up from a nap, he catches two chickens from the chicken coop to deal with them, and the soup base of the hot pot tonight is: chicken, sand cucumber, jade bamboo, wolfberry, and red date soup, these medicinal materials belong to the warm tonic category, and drinking some chicken soup in winter can warm up the body. After Yang Yong got up, he chopped up the fresh pork he bought in the morning, how could he eat hot pot without meatballs.

"It's very warm to eat hot pot in winter, but it's a pity that mutton is missing, if there is mutton shabu hot pot, it is a very delicious dish." Yang Yun was chatting with Xuejuan while peeling turnips.

"Miss Yun, did you say it's raw mutton?"

"Yes, freeze the raw mutton into hard pieces, and then use a knife to cut the mutton into thin slices, so that the hot pot is simmered and dipped in a special sauce, it is really the best in the world."

"If it's raw mutton, the gentleman has mutton." Xue Juan actually said that Kong Zhongkan had raw mutton at home.

"Really?" When Yang Yun heard the news, her eyes lit up.

"It's true, the raw mutton of the gentleman's family was a New Year's gift from the shopkeeper who was doing business outside two days ago, saying that it was brought from the north. When the mutton was delivered, my mother cut some and fried it, but the mutton was so fishy that no one could eat it, and the plate of mutton was poured directly in the end. You also know that we are southerners, and we are not used to the fishy smell of mutton. ”

"Grandpa Kong's raw meat and mutton are not much." Even if the mutton is fried and eaten, it must be marinated first, Xuejuan's mother is fried and eaten directly, it is strange if it is not fishy, and it must not be able to bite it.

"There are many more, the shopkeeper outside sent half a sheep at that time, and my mother only cut a plate to fry, and the rest of the mutton was hung in the kitchen."

"That's great, let's go to Grandpa Kong's house and get some mutton to cut into slices, and there will be mutton shabu to eat tonight."

"Miss Yun, that mutton is too fishy, everyone will definitely not eat it."

"Hehe, Sister Xuejuan, don't worry, I'll adjust some special sauces later, to ensure that everyone will be impressed by the mutton." If you don't eat such delicious mutton, I'm really sorry for tonight's hot pot meal.

"That's right, Miss Yun, Mr. told you, what dishes to cook tonight, what ingredients are missing, go to the house to get them, Mr. In the past few days, a few shopkeepers outside have sent many New Year's gifts, there is a lot of meat, you will go to the kitchen to pick and choose, see what dishes you need to cook tonight, take what ingredients."

"Okay, let's deal with these dishes, and bring them to Grandpa Xu's house in a while, and I'll go to Grandpa Kong's kitchen to see what ingredients are suitable for our hot pot tonight." Kong Zhongkan must have many things in his house, and tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be prepared more sumptuously, and after a year of hard work, he can eat a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the New Year.

There are no greens in winter either. Yang Yun cut a few raw radishes, as well as two Chinese cabbage, this winter Yang Yun sent bean sprouts again, with last year's experience, the bean sprouts were quite successful, but it was too wasteful of carbon fire. Grandpa killed the chicken, so he chopped the two chickens into small pieces, Yang Yong chopped the pork puree, and Yang Yun made the pork puree into two flavors of pork balls, one pure pork ball, and the other was mushroom pork balls.

Yang Yong finished chopping the pork puree, handed the pork puree to Yang Yun, he called the Dabao brothers, and the three of them went to the pond to catch fish. The last time the Yang family fished, Yang Yun left a bucket of fish for his family, except for the fish given to Sister Li, there were still six live fish left, Yang Yun asked his grandfather to set up a "fishing net box" in a corner of the pond, and raised six live fish in captivity, these fish are ready to be cooked and eaten for the New Year. There is also pickled fish at home, but shabu-shabu or sashimi is fresher.

After Yang Yong and the others fished the fish home, they removed the skeleton of the live fish and cut it into thin sashimi, freshwater fish is not suitable for raw consumption, because it contains too many parasites, the sashimi prepared by Yang Yun is used to eat in hot pot. The Zhu family gave a New Year's gift last time, and gave a piece of ham, and Yang Yun cut two more plates of ham, and the children will definitely like to eat ham.

After the things were ready, Yang Yong and Dabao packed the ingredients in a big basin and took them to the kitchen of Dr. Xu's house to put them away. Yang Yun also asked Yang Yong to move the small stove at home to Xu Daxu's house, and it just so happened that Dr. Xu's family also had one, and the two small stoves were just used to stew two pots of chicken soup. Now it's more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it simmers until about six o'clock in the evening, and the chicken soup can be poured into the hot pot as a soup base.

After everything was moved to Dr. Xu's house, Yang Yun and Xue Juan went to Kong Zhongkan's house. Yang Yun said hello to Kong Zhongkan and went to his kitchen to collect the ingredients. As soon as Yang Yun entered the kitchen, he saw that the half of the sheep was hanging in the kitchen, and Yang Yun called the servants of Kong Zhongkan's house to help cut the mutton into thin slices, and cut a total of four large plates of mutton. Xue Juan looked at a few plates of mutton and shook her head helplessly, this girl from the Yang family cut so much mutton, and it would be wasted if no one ate it at that time.

Yang Yun also found some sun-dried fungus in the kitchen, as well as half a bag of Huaishan, Yang Yun had heard that there are many people who plant Huaishan in the south, and it is relatively rare to see it in the north, Kong Zhongkan is from Jiangnan, and it is not surprising that there is a shopkeeper who sent Huaishan to him. Yang Yun took the fungus to soak in water, peeled Huaishan, and made two large plates. After these things were done, they were all moved to Dr. Xu's house, and Yang Yun also asked Xiaobao to buy a few pieces of tofu back, how can there be less shabu shabu in winter, tofu is a very important dish.

Yang Yun saw that the ingredients for the shabu-shabu were ready tonight, so she went home to adjust the sauce. The sauce of shabu mutton, Yang Yun came out with three sauces, one is sesame sauce + garlic + salt + spicy sauce made of sesame sauce, the other is bean paste + garlic + ginger juice + pickled plum sour sauce, and the last one is a simple sweet and sour sauce made of garlic + sugar + vinegar, some people are not afraid of the fishy smell of mutton, they like to eat the original taste, like Yang Yun used to eat shabu mutton in her previous life, she is not afraid of the fishy smell of mutton.

Yang Yun also took some side dishes from home, crispy cucumbers and crispy radish, and when she got tired of eating meat, eating some sour and crispy side dishes was quite greasy, and crispy cucumbers were pickled by her grandmother in autumn. After everything was ready, Yang Yun saw that it was still early, about half in the afternoon. Yang Yun boiled hot water at home, and after a while, he asked Yang Yong and them to come back to take a bath and change into new clothes, and Yang Yun also washed the family's clothes in advance. On the first day of the first lunar month, everyone has to greet each other, and few people will wash their clothes on the first day of the new year.

Yang Yun boiled the water and called back Yang Yong and his brothers to take a bath, after they washed, grandpa and grandma also took turns to take a hot bath, everyone took a bath, and then changed into new clothes for the New Year, Yang Yun took a bath, she washed the family's clothes after taking a bath, and then took the clothes back under the eaves to dry at night.

After the family was busy, Yang Yun asked Yang Yong and his brothers to help him move two burdens and send them to Dr. Xu's house, which was a New Year's gift that Yang Yun was going to give everyone. Yang Yun, a gift from her family, was placed at home, and she would give it to them when the family came back in the evening to celebrate the New Year. The Yang family closed the door and went to Dr. Xu's house for Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yang Yun went to everyone Xu, except for Grandma Xu, everyone arrived. Yang Yun saw that several families had all changed into new clothes. Yang Xuan and the other children went to the room to chat with Grandma Xu, and Yang Yun, Aunt Li, and Xuejuan's mother and daughter set up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared for dinner. Grandma Xu's meal, Yang Yun has already prepared another meal, the fish that Yang Yong caught back today, Yang Yun used the fish to help Grandma Xu cook fish porridge.

When the two iron pots were built at that time, Yang Yun specially asked Master Tian to make two lids, and Yang Yun covered the iron pot first to prevent dust from falling down. After Yang Yun lit the carbon fire, he put it in the hollow pillar between the two pots. Then open the lid of the iron pot, pour the stewed chicken soup into the pot, and wait for the charcoal fire to boil, and everyone can eat the shabu-shabu.

"Yun girl, what are you going to invite everyone to eat tonight? Your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been kept mysterious, don't let everyone run out of food tonight. Kong Zhongkan saw Yang Yun and moved two strange pots on the table, and the dishes on the table were all raw, so he asked about Yang Yun.

"Hey, hey! Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is guaranteed to be unforgettable for everyone, so everyone will eat. "The chicken broth in the pot boiled again. Yang Yun finally explained to everyone next to the table, what is shabu-shabu, and then sandwiched some lettuce to show everyone how to get it in the pot and cook it and eat it. After hearing Yang Yun's explanation, everyone finally saw the true face of shabu-shabu.

Although everyone heard Yang Yun say that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should eat hot pot, but what hot pot is, they don't know, everyone is very curious, how Yang Yun is prepared this night New Year's dinner, who let Yang Yun never explain to everyone how to eat hot pot. After listening to Yang Yun's explanation tonight, everyone was surprised, they didn't know how Yang Yun came up with this idea, and he could design two such special pots.

"Wonderful! Yun girl's idea is really wonderful, it's cold in winter, and if you eat in this way, you can eat hot meals all the time. Kong Zhongkan likes this eating method that Yang Yun came up with very much, and it is cold in winter, so you can often eat this shabu-shabu hot pot.

"No, this girl's little bag of melons, I don't know how she came up with this idea, and it's quite interesting to cook by yourself." Dr. Xu felt that shabu-shabu was very interesting, and tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner really surprised everyone. (To be continued.) )
