Chapter 91 Thirty
Croquettes are made by mixing the moderately fat and thin pork filling with tofu, boiled shredded white radish, and noodles, and after seasoning, dip your hands in water, squeeze the filling into a round ball shape and fry it in the oil pan until golden brown and float on the oil surface.
Because Gu Xiaoqing always requires the best way to eat, she also threw seven or eight eggs in the meatballs, squeezed out the green onion and ginger and put the water into it, and stirred the meatball filling together.
The meatballs are crispy and fluffy, and they don't spread out yet, and the taste is so beautiful.
Gu Xiaojie just circled around the edge of the stove several times, and with each turn, there were a few more balls in both hands, and his mouth was also bulging.
I don't think I need to eat lunch today.
Because Li Xuemei deliberately wanted to give the children a good fat year this year, she wanted to be generous, so this meatball was also prepared.
This is followed by fried tofu.
The tofu was made in the morning, and it was cut into slices and steamed by Gu Xiaoqing on the steamer next to him, and now it is drying on the side, and it has already cooled reads();.
Just put it in the oil pan and fry it until golden brown, and both sides are slightly crispy before it comes out of the pan.
The day is too busy, and the barbecue or something can only be done tomorrow.
The next day, it was a busy day.
It's finally over.
The customs of the countryside here, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the Chinese New Year's Eve, are eaten at the father's house.
The father and mother here refer to the husband's father, that is, the father-in-law and mother-in-law's family.
The same is true on the first day of the Lunar New Year, as long as the family is a son, they will bring their daughter-in-law and children back to their home for a reunion dinner.
On the evening of the thirtieth, Li Xuemei didn't make meat filling, dumplings or anything, only used a basket to fill a bowl of meatballs, a bowl of roast meat, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of fried fish. These are the four dishes that you brought over, and you generally don't have to bring them, after all, the New Year's gift has already been given.
But Li Xuemei was mentally prepared, just looking at Mrs. Gu that day, she was stingy and stingy, and she went by herself, I am afraid that the children may not be able to eat anything, and Li Xuemei cannot wronged her own children.
So I took it upon myself to bring four dishes.
The bowls are all big bowls, and they are full of them.
The heart said, in this way, Mrs. Gu can't help but let the children eat enough.
In fact, Gu Xiaoqing was also afraid that he would not be able to eat enough for this Chinese New Year's Eve, so he had already discussed with his mother that he had already installed a hot pot at home.
The copper hot pot is too expensive, Li Xuemei is not so luxurious, the family bought a casserole hot pot this year, the middle is hollowed out, you can give birth to charcoal, the outside pot is generally the bottom layer of cabbage, followed by soaked soft vermicelli, layer by layer of different ingredients.
The meatballs are covered with a full layer, which is a favorite for the whole family.
Then there is white tofu on top, which is the tofu you usually eat, and then there is a layer of fried tofu on top that is cut into thin slices with an oblique knife and placed on top of the white tofu.
The fried tofu is topped with a thin layer of sliced roasted pork made with pork belly made from the middle of the pork.
A layer of fatty meat and a layer of lean meat looks very appetizing, not to mention that it is cooked with various seasonings until you can use chopsticks to pierce the bottom of the meat skin, and the meat is cooked.
Then take out the meat and let it cool, evenly smear a layer with honey on the meat skin, continue to cool, and then put it in the oil pan to fry the meat skin until it is reddish-brown, the meat skin is folded, and the fat oil inside is fried out, and it is golden and delicious.
This kind of roast pork is cut into thin slices and placed on the top of the hot pot, covered so tightly that no one can see the real material at the bottom, and then poured a bowl of sauce that has already been mixed.
It is a soup mixed with green onions, ginger, garlic, and boiled meat broth with various seasonings, and a large spoonful of it is stirred and poured on top.
As long as you want to eat it, you can burn the charcoal inside, and it will soon be a steaming pot of fragrant festive dishes.
Of course, this is something that their family didn't think about in previous years.
Hot pot is not cheap, it is all reads();.
Most people don't do this.
Gu Xiaoqing did it in advance, just in case, if she didn't have enough to eat tonight, when she came back to sleep, there would be a fill.
If you have a big holiday, at least you can't go hungry.
Mainly from the experience of previous years.
Li Xuemei is also satisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese New Year's Eve is this custom, the New Year would be celebrated in the homes of the elderly.
Otherwise, Li Xuemei would not want to go over.
The family easily cooks a few dishes, cooks two plates of dumplings, fills a pot, and eats comfortably.
If you go now, you don't have to be looked down upon by others.
Li Xuemei, a family over there, didn't count on it.
Carrying a basket, he locked the door with his three children and Gu Ruhai and went out.
It's getting dark.
The couplet has long been pasted.
It was still done in advance by Gu Ruhai.
After doing business this year, Gu Ruhai's vision is different, this couplet was bought in Zhenshan a long time ago, which means that the whole family is in good weather and has a wide range of financial resources.
This is also the first of its kind in the village.
Other people's homes are full of grains, good weather, and the implication of a safe house, but there is really no such thing in his family.
The family set off, and it was just dark before they walked into the door of Old Man Gu.
The couplet on the gate has also been pasted, and the yard is lively, after all, the two children of Gu Ruhe's family have also returned.
Every year on the thirtieth day, Gu Ruhe's family comes back, and then they will go back in the morning of the second day of junior high school, because they have to go to Xiao Xue's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of junior high school.
As soon as Gu Ruhai and the others arrived, the family went to the house first to greet Old Man Gu.
In previous years, Li Xuemei Gu Ruhai arrived the earliest, because every year the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also had to be made by three concubines together, but Xiao Xue didn't think about it, people were expensive and sat on the kang every time they didn't move.
Only Li Xuemei and Jiang Xiulan were busy.
Jiang Xiulan is also a heart-to-eye, always waiting until it gets dark to come over, and by then, Li Xuemei has basically fiddled with all the food.
The chickens and ducks are all killed, washed, and stewed.
Jiang Xiulan will come out to help in the kitchen under the pretense of being done, nominally by two people, but in fact, Li Xuemei suffers alone.
This year, Li Xuemei deliberately came in the dark, because she didn't want to be played as a monkey, and no one was stupid.
As soon as she entered the house, sure enough, the first thing to greet her was Mrs. Gu's gloomy black face, looking at Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei and the three children around her, Mrs. Gu didn't scold, but she also fell into a sentence: "Old family, you are really early." This is when the rice is cooked. ”
