The next day, Erniu and Dabao really went to the town to buy a lot of materials to make sausages and came back, and when they returned home, all the people were busy again, and they tossed out a lot of sausages.

The family is constantly busy, there are still a few days to go before the New Year, when it comes to the New Year, all the people in Linjia Village are busy, poor or rich, the year is always going to pass, all year round, only these few days can be so busy but the heart is happy.

Soon to the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there are three days to celebrate the New Year, the twenty-seventh day will start to be busy, Huang has been arranged, today the family will be a few days before the New Year and the first month of the fifteenth day after the New Year, steamed buns, wowotou these things have to be steamed, the first few days of the first month can not be made new, there will be a lot of relatives in the first month of the new year, it will be too late to steam when the time comes.

Steamed buns are okay, that is, to knead the noodles, there are not too many tricks to do, but the buns have to be filled differently, some troublesome, you need to chop the filling, you need to knead the dough, and you have to wrap the buns, a lot of effort to do.

In fact, the staple food of this era is indeed too little, Lin He always misses the rice of his previous life, but the people here do not have rice to eat, Lin He plans to make more kinds of stuffing for the buns, but the materials are really limited, and the family can't afford to eat the buns every day. It's better to be able to bake some bread and the like, so that you don't eat these things every day.

The buns of this era are generally radish filling, cabbage filling, these. Lin He wants to make more fillings, such as pure meat filling, pork and green onion filling, leek filling, chop some different kinds of filling, and it tastes better.

Lin Erniu hasn't gone out these days, Mr. has also gone home, Mr. is also going to have a holiday for the New Year, the whole family plans to make all the noodles on the twenty-seventh, and then steam it out, and there are many things to do, in the morning, the whole family is making noodles, Xiaobao and Lin Chen will not do it, Lin Chen will burn the fire, but Xiaobao is running around alone, having fun, and it is also infected with the happy atmosphere of the New Year.

Lin He is not very good at doing it, and it still takes some strength to knead the dough, and Lin He doesn't have that much strength, but Lin He is very interested in these things, in his previous life, every time Lin He eats xiaolongbao, he will feel that some buns look like a work of art, with thin skin and many fillings, and they look crystal clear, and he always studies how to wrap this bun.

In fact, this is a very simple thing for people who do it regularly. I saw Huang pinch up a ball of noodles, press it twice, put in the filling, circle it a few times, and soon it became a very beautiful bun, and I couldn't see how she wrapped it at all.

When Huang wrapped it again, Lin He asked her to do it slowly, and when she looked carefully, she saw that Huang was holding the bun with his left hand, and his right hand was using the gap between his thumb and index finger to clamp the mouth of the bun. Wrap the front in a circle, the pattern will come out after the dough is folded and turned, and a beautiful bun will come out with a thumb pinch.

It looks like a very simple thing, but it is still very difficult for Lin He to do, the folds can't be turned out, Lin He has done it many times, under the guidance of Huang, he can finally make a crooked bun out, Huang said that this kind of thing is practice makes perfect, as long as you practice more, it will get better and better.

Lin He looked at the buns he made, and he still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. I used to think it was difficult, but now I can do it myself, which is a good feeling.

The family made several pots of steamed buns and steamed buns in one afternoon, and wowotou and the like. Things like steamed buns are still relatively luxurious in this era, other people may not make them at home, there are white flour steamed buns are almost the same, Lin He's family just made a pot of steamed buns, saying that when the guests come, they can be matched, and it is very good to eat corn nest and white flour steamed buns at home.

On the evening of the 27th, the family sat on the kang to discuss what to buy for the New Year, such as food in the first month, gifts from relatives, and dishes at home on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all of which needed to be bought back on the 28th tomorrow, because there were many days in between that when they could not rush to the market.

On Chinese New Year's Eve in this era, it is stipulated that there should be "ten bowls", which means that in addition to the main food, ten dishes must be made, and some must be left, which means that there is more than one year after another. Huang and Er Niu discussed for a long time but couldn't make ten dishes, in the past, there were a few dishes at home every year for the New Year, and if it was not enough, they added some messy wild vegetables to make ten dishes.

This year, the family has to take care of it, and I don't want to replace it with something else, but the family is too expensive and can't afford it, and the cheaper ones are all these dishes.

Lin He also thought about it, ten different dishes are still a little difficult, such as radish stew, cabbage stew, vermicelli stew, to put it mildly, these things are not delicious, but they do eat a lot and finally have almost the same taste in the mouth, a little greasy.

Lin He was a southerner in his previous life, and the southerners mainly used small stir-fried food, and the taste was relatively heavier, but those small fried ones were relatively easy to eat. Lin He thought about it and told the Huang family a few, such as scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork ribs, stir-fried meat with chili, and stewed mushrooms with chickens, which don't cost much, and they are also easy to eat, I am afraid that the guests can eat them during the New Year.

When Huang heard these dishes, he felt very strange, but it was very good to hear the name, and these things were not rare, and many things were available at home. Said "He'er, then for Chinese New Year's Eve, you can make these dishes, if they are good, we will use these dishes to greet guests in the first month." ”

Lin He nodded, the problem of Huang and Erniu watching the food was solved, and they discussed some gifts to give to relatives during the New Year, in fact, this time it was good, I put a lot of sausages in my home, plus last time Boss Wen sent so many things, the family was not willing to use it, and planned to give it away during the New Year, so that it could reduce the cost.

Speaking of Boss Wen, Lin He thought that the shop would not open too early in the first month, and he always had to give some gifts to mean it, so he asked Dabao to go to the market tomorrow to get some sausages from home and send them to Uncle Wen. There is nothing else at home that can be taken care of.

So I asked Erniu and Dabao to go to the market to buy some snacks, candy and some meat are almost the same, and the other ones are available at home, so they don't need to buy them again.
