() The round countertop, specially moved out for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, is full of chicken, duck, fish, and hot fried dishes.

In the middle is a large casserole with a lot of content. In the soup made from pork bones, salted meat, fresh meat, winter bamboo shoots, prawns (salted shrimp), etc., and of course, the most important egg dumplings, which cannot be missing anything.

Making egg dumplings is a delicate job.

Turn on the gas stove on a low fire, put a small bowl-sized long-handled iron spoon on the fire to heat, and use chopsticks to hold a piece of boiled lard residue and evenly spread it twice in the iron spoon. Then, scoop up a spoonful of beaten egg mixture with a small spoon and pour it into the iron spoon, which slowly rotates in one direction so that the egg mixture can be evenly spread over the iron spoon. While the egg mixture is not yet fully set, use chopsticks to put the prepared meat filling in the middle of the egg skin, and then use chopsticks to gently pick up one side of the egg skin and cover the other side. Put the parts that stick together on both sides and bake them on the gas to let the egg liquid completely solidify, and an egg dumpling is ready.

Before the casserole is served, add the spinach and vermicelli that are cooked as soon as they are hot, which is the must-have egg dumpling casserole (spinach, xx dish egg dumpling soup) for every family in Shencheng during the New Year.

The thick soup base, the tender green spinach, the golden egg dumplings, and the white vermicelli are the beautiful meaning of gold (egg dumplings) and silver (vermicelli) treasures.

Both the Ye family and the Cui family moved to Shencheng from the north, but Cui Jianguo's predecessor came, and now he has long integrated into the atmosphere of Shencheng, and only the accent of his hometown has not changed.

Ye Zi also grew up in Shencheng, and of course he was used to the taste of Shencheng's cuisine. Li Shufen is a native of the north, but after marrying Cui Jianguo for so many years, she must have followed the customs.

Li Shufen cooked a good dish. On the basis of the thick oil red sauce of Shencheng cuisine, she removed the sweet and greasy taste that the northerners particularly disliked, and added the salty, fresh, crisp and tender characteristics of her hometown Lu cuisine, and the home-cooked dishes made had a unique taste. Let the family never get tired of eating. The guests who came to the house were also full of praise.

In this new village of teachers where Ye Zi lives, Li Shufen is a well-known skillful daughter-in-law. Washing, cooking, and female red knitting, she is always hands-on, and she serves her husband and son very comfortably. Although the family has never been well-off, under Li Shufen's careful support, the two of them are frugal and generous in their food and clothing. The decent and the decent are not left behind. So even if Cui Jianguo is known to everyone in school as "tracheitis", it is only envied and jealous by others.

If you want to laugh at Cui Jianguo, then you first find a daughter-in-law like Li Shufen to try? Can you find it? If you can really find such a daughter-in-law again, then your symptoms are probably much stricter than Cui Jianguo's.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is from Li Shufen's hand, which has been prepared since a few days ago, and has been busy until now that it can be fully completed. Of course, Cui Jianguo's help is indispensable. In the past few days, Cui Jianguo has been instructed by Li Shufen to make the group turn around, and all the bits and pieces have been taken care of by Cui Jianguo. The couple worked together to clean up a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinners with rich dishes but not very large expenses.

For Shencheng's daughter-in-law. How to make the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner dazzling but economical will be a standard test paper that the daughter-in-law of the examination school cannot pass.

Li Shufen's answer sheet is a perfect score almost every year.

In the past, when Ye Zi's grandfather and Cui Jianguo's old mother were still alive, every year at this time, the two old men would praise Li Shufen fiercely.

One hand took advantage of people's inattention, and secretly grabbed the sauce-flavored beef that was cut as thin as a cicada's wings, and a pair of eyes paid attention to the movement beside him at any time.

Closer, closer, closer. I'm about to get caught.

The skin of the fingers has rubbed against the surface of the beef, and the saliva in the mouth has begun to secrete. As soon as the qiē is ready, just waiting for the beef to be eaten.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and a pair of chopsticks struck the back of the fingers.

"Ahh A "miserable howl", followed by a loud shout: "Eat again!" Wait a little longer! ”

Ye Zi sat on the edge of the table, holding on to the edge of the table and laughing so much that his stomach hurt: "Big head, big head, it's like this every time." Why do you remember to eat and not to eat? ”

Cui Zhengguang stroked his fingers vigorously, frowned and said: "Xiao Yezi, you don't help me watch, it's okay to remind me, it's true, let me be beaten again!" ”

"How can I remind you?" Ye Zi smiled: "How fast is my godmother's movements." I just won't be in time. ”

"Then how did you get it?" Cui Zhengguang glared at Ye Zi unconvinced.

Ye Zi pursed his lips and whispered, "Cut, are you as fast as my hands?" If you were asked to practice in the past but you refused to do so, then you can only be beaten now. ”

"Mom, Xiao Yezi also stole it, why don't you care about him?" Cui Zhengguang was annoyed and angry, and suddenly exposed the informant.

Ye Zi hurriedly raised his hands and looked innocent: "Godmother, I didn't steal it." ”

"Smack", Li Shufen's chopsticks also fell on Ye Zi's head: "Wipe the sauce off your mouth first and then lie to me." ”

"Huh? Pain! Ye Zi hugged his head and exhaled in pain, his face was extremely embarrassed.

"Hahaha, if you don't save you when you die, you should!" Choi Jung-gwang laughed triumphantly.

"What kind of wine is this, how can the cork get stuck in it? It's a hassle to drive. Cui Jianguo found all kinds of tools and tossed for a long time, and finally opened the red wine that Ye Zi brought back.

Ye Zi took the wine bottle, poured red wine into everyone's wine glasses, and said with a smile: "Godfather, this is my fault." I forgot to buy a corkscrew when I was buying wine and came back, so I'll buy one another day. ”

"What are you buying that for?" Cui Jianguo waved his hand, disappreciative: "I don't drink this often." ”

As he spoke, Cui Jianguo raised his wine glass.

"Come, let's raise a glass, for our family to live better next year, in order to be better every year, do one!"

"Good! one! ”

The four of them raised their glasses together and drank it all.

"It's not a good wine." Cui Jianguo put down the wine glass, smacked the taste, shook his head and said, "Sour, no wine taste." Shufen, what do you think? ”

Li Shufen had drunk red wine before, and then she laughed at Cui Jianguo and said: "This is called red wine, this wine is originally this taste, and I still like this taste." ”

"Mom, you still have taste, unlike my dad, who hasn't even drunk red wine." Cui Zhengguang patted Li Shufen's ass.

was belittled by his son, but Cui Jianguo was not annoyed: "I still think the white is delicious." Xiao Yezi, bring the bottle of Wuliangye you bought, and I will also taste what this famous Wuliangye tastes like. ”

"Okay, I'll go get the wine." Ye Zi was about to get up and go to the room to get the wine, but Cui Zhengguang grabbed him: "Dad, this bottle of red wine is so expensive, a bottle costs a thousand yuan, let's drink this first." ”

"So expensive?" Cui Jianguo and Li Shufen asked in surprise at the same time.

Ye Zi turned his head and glared at Cui Zhengguang, and said in his heart: Just your mouth is fast! If I had known, I wouldn't have told you the price of this wine, wouldn't you be troublesome? Godparents and godmothers must be worried about money again.

With a smile on his face, Ye Zi hurriedly explained: "Godfather and godmother, don't listen to him, this wine is very cheap to buy in Xiangjiang, not expensive." ”

"No matter how cheap it is, it will definitely cost hundreds of dollars." Li Shufen really felt a little sorry for this money: "Xiao Yezi, you don't spend money like this, you said that you just bought a Wuliangye, what kind of red wine do you buy?" After this mouthful, dozens of dollars are gone, is this drinking or drinking gold? Alas! ”

"Godmother, isn't it going to be the New Year, I just want to buy a bottle of wine to honor you and my godfather." Ye Zi glared at Cui Zhengguang again, who was in trouble, and continued to explain.

Cui Zhengguang also knew what he said, put Ye Zi on the fire to roast, and quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Shufen sighed: "Xiao Yezi, my godmother knows your filial piety and knows that you have made money, but it can't spend this money like this!" Your bonus of more than 100,000 yuan looks like a lot, but no matter how much money you spend, it will be spent all at once, so what will you use to marry a daughter-in-law in the future? Isn't it? Besides, it's going to be ......."

"Okay, okay Shufen, this New Year's Day, you just say a few words." Cui Jianguo stopped Li Shufen's continued play: "The child makes a lot of money for the first time, this is also a piece of filial piety, so it's not an example." ”

Turning his head to look at Ye Zi, Cui Jianguo blinked: "Xiao Yezi, don't take it as an example!" Look you. ”

"Yes, yes, godfather, godmother, next time I will buy Wuliangye for your second elder to drink, I will not buy this red wine again, never again!" Ye Zi repeatedly assured.

Li Shufen felt a little more comfortable in her heart: "Next time, if you dare to be so big-hearted, see how I clean you up!" By the way, Xiaoyezi, the money is all saved, right? ”

"It's all saved, it's all saved, and I'll go and save the money as soon as I get back." Ye Zi quietly wiped a handful of cold sweat. He knew that Li Shufen was a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, and her anger came and went quickly, and this time she should be able to pass the test. But thinking about it, this matter was completely caused by Cui Zhengguang's mouth, and he really hated it in his heart.

"That's pretty much it." Li Shufen was angry, but she still told again: "Remember, don't spend money like this next time." ”

"Yes, yes, definitely." Under the majesty of Li Shufen, Ye Zi immediately transformed into a "sound worm" who could only nod and agree.

"Alright, let's eat!" Li Shufen gave an order, and the four pairs of chopsticks actually coerced the sauce-flavored beef, and the chopsticks touched together, but no one coerced.

"Huh?"

"Hahaha......" (To be continued.) )
