He Wei rested at home for two days, and she was basically not idle.

I went to the supermarket with her mother on Saturday morning.

It's only been two months before the Chinese New Year, and supermarkets and shopping malls have launched New Year's goods giveaways one after another.

Mother He took advantage of her daughter's home, and the two of them carried a lot of New Year's goods home.

This year, in addition to sending the old people on both sides, the daughter's godparents, and the son's master, I also have to give some New Year's gifts to Xu Huixiang's mother's family and Old Man He. If you don't return the gifts you have received, Mother He will have a bad time throughout the year.

When the supermarket came back, the mother took advantage of the good sun to take out the thick quilt winter coat at home and dry it.

There is also a box of winter dates that have been shriveled and continue to be taken out to dry.

This was bought by Xu Huixiang from a colleague whose hometown is in Zao Township. It is said that the organic winter jujube without pesticides and chemical fertilizers is sweet and crisp, and it can be stored for more than a year after eating and drying the jujube.

In these years, the most afraid of eating fruits is hormones and pesticides, as soon as I heard that there are winter dates to eat, there are many people who buy them, but most of them are twenty or thirty catties, supporting fifty catties, like Xu Huixiang who buys one hundred and fifty catties in one go, it is really not much, but Rao is so, and the total amount can be pulled up to a truck.

The truck got up early and went back in the evening, so when Xu Huixiang got off work, she asked He Chifeng to pick her up and carried back fifteen foam shockproof boxes loaded with ten kilograms.

She kept four boxes at home, the He family sent four boxes, and she sent the rest to Kyoto by express mail, so that the elders on both sides could taste it.

During the harvest and picking of dates, they have not been stained with rain, so they can be stored for a few days, but they can only be stored for a few days, even if they are refrigerated in the refrigerator, they are easy to rot after a long time.

He's mother asked her son to send a box to his master's house. I took a box and put it in the store for everyone to eat together. The remaining two boxes, if they are close, can also be divided into some for the old people on both sides to taste. It takes a day to go back and forth, and there are many things in the store recently, so the mother of He made a phone call and asked if there are dates in the hometown, and if not, the express delivery is a box.

Coincidentally, the second concubine, a little sister when she was in the boudoir, just asked her to sell her home-grown winter dates two days ago. She was embarrassed not to buy it, so she asked for twenty catties, and her mother-in-law and mother-in-law gave a few catties. So the fruits of the second elder have not broken dates in the past few days.

In this way, Hemu does not need to send it to Hejiabu.

After all, you can't eat more of this fresh jujube, eating too much is not good for digestion, and it is better to dry it. Take some back to cook porridge or soup during the Chinese New Year.

As for my mother's side. Mother He also wanted to send a box over, but when she called, she listened to Mrs. Zhou's meaning, which was to ask her to send more, and give her eldest sister, younger brother, and sister ten catties, saying that the jujubes are heavy, and ten catties of jujubes are actually not much. I also asked her if she had any crab sauce she brought last time, and if she had, she would send a little more. The eldest granddaughter and the youngest grandson love to eat......

Mother He was so angry that she almost dropped the phone.

Not to mention that there are not so many dates left at home, even if the number is enough. Why did she send it to those three families? Who ever brought her food and drink?

Last year, my niece lived in my house for so many days, did my eldest sister bring anything to her house? There was no personal contact in the first place, and after that incident last year, there was even more excuse not to communicate. How cheap are you, and you still have to hold dates and send them to others?

My brother and daughter-in-law too, this trip to the city to see a doctor, I ran before and after, helped register to get medicine, tired all day, I didn't have to say "thank you" when it was over, and even the registration fee and lunch were all paid by myself.

That's it, and let yourself carry this and that? When you eat at home, you can't buy it with money. It's true that the winter dates were sent by the girl's godmother, but that's not a favor, don't return it afterwards......

The more He Mu thought about it, the more angry she became, so she simply didn't send a catty. Pushing and asking the express delivery and sending it to Meilong Bridge, most of the dates are going to be rotten, so let's wait for the New Year's Festival and then pick some together.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou muttered that she was dissatisfied, and said: "If you send it to rot, then send it directly, you and Jianshun don't go to work, just do the work at home, and you can't spare time, how much work can it take to run to Meilong Bridge......

He Mu pretended not to hear, hung up the phone after speaking, picked out a box of winter dates in one go, and put it in the sun. The rest was sealed in a plastic bag pouch and can be stored in a refrigerator for a few more days. No, how many bags can He Wei eat when she comes.

After the mother turned over the dates, Mother He drove her daughter back to the room, whether it was reading or resting, in short, she didn't need to worry about the rest of the things. As a result, when she returned to the house after cleaning the balcony, she found that her daughter had a mop in her left hand and a feather duster in her right hand, and she had cleaned up all the corners and corners of the house. If you change to a son, even if you have a big vacation after the college entrance examination, you won't take the initiative to clean up the house.

On Sunday morning, Lao Wu got up early and went to the lumber mill to pull a cart of new wood, and it was noon when he arrived at the store.

Lin Shuigen has a guest at home today, and it seems that he is a matchmaker who says goodbye to his daughter, so he said on the first day that he will not come today.

Father He went to find an old carpenter with excellent carving, but he has not yet returned.

Yesterday at the dinner table, the family chatted about the future plans, He's father said that he wanted to add a carving to each piece of wood in Heji, which will represent Heji in the future, but where Heji produces, there will be such a carving, the pattern is best not too complicated, but it can't be too simple, so that customers can recognize it at a glance is Heji products, and others want to counterfeit and have to spend some time. Unlike the word "He Ji", it is too simple to imitate.

He Wei thinks this method is good, which is equivalent to the logo of a store. So after dinner, she went to the study to draw a few patterns for her father. Her father fell in love with one of them at a glance, which was a hollowed-out rose flower with a warped H at the bottom, representing He Ji.

"This is good!" He Xidong ran to join in the fun, pointed to the rose in He's father's picture and said: "Rose, and Weiwei's Wei character, how meaningful." ”

Father He slapped his thigh: "Cheng!" That's it. ”

He Wei was speechless. She didn't draw roses because of her name!

But both of them thought this was good, and then He Mu, who followed up, also said that it was beautiful, and the store logo of He Ji was finalized three to one.

No, as soon as I had breakfast today, Father He held the pattern of crape myrtle flowers, and happily ran to the old carpenter to try carving.

The two main forces of Hefu and Lin Shuigen were not there. How long will Guang Lao Wu have to be unloaded alone, so He Mu put down the work in her hand and went out to help. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make lunch in time, and my head was swollen for a while, and I couldn't help but complain: "Your dad is really good!" I know that I will buy it today, but I won't come back after this order, and I'm not in a hurry to store the logo, so why do I have to go today......"

He Wei took the initiative to take over the cooking work and reassured: "Dad is also anxious." Settle early and rest assured. I guess he was probably on his way back, maybe in a traffic jam so he didn't arrive. Mom, don't worry, I'll make lunch. You can help Uncle Wu with peace of mind, and make sure that the food is served before you finish unloading. After eating, Uncle Wu should go back to make up for sleep. ”

To go to the lumber mill to pull goods, you have to get up early. It's late to go. Good material will be picked up. Even if it is a price and the same variety of wood, there are good and bad. The tallest one in the group of shorts is this reason.

In the past, He's father bought goods, and he had to go out at four or five o'clock in the morning. Now I have changed to Lao Wu, because I have a car, so it is slightly better, but it is not too late, plus loading and unloading. Running back and forth, it would be an absolute lie to say that you are not tired.

He Mu is not at ease. What else did I want to say, but He Wei pushed out of the small kitchen, "Ahhh You just believe me once, if you don't do well, you won't let me cook next time? Don't you see that I was self-reliant in making soup and cooking at school? ”

"What's the same, there are so many people in the family, even if you can do it, it's tiring to do so many people's share, you have to go back to school in the afternoon, and you have to study late at night, if it's ......"

"No, it's just a meal, don't worry."

After He Wei pushed her mother out of the kitchen, she simply closed the door of the small kitchen, anyway, the ingredients to be cooked are in the kitchen, and there will be no business outside at this time, even if she comes, won't there be her mother.

Then again, this was the first time she had cooked independently at home.

In the past, her mother was the head chef, and she was at best a helper, so her mother was so worried. But in fact, in addition to making soup, she also cooked several times independently in He Qingdong's apartment, and a few home-cooked dishes were still not a problem.

I flipped through the ingredients that her mother bought in the morning: meat dishes include fish and duck, and I bought a lot of vegetarian dishes, including winter melon, pumpkin, eggplant, beans, etc., all of which are seasonal fresh vegetables at the moment. She thought about it, the beans can be fried with salted dried meat marinated at home, the eggplant can be fried in sauce, the pumpkin can be fried with salted duck egg yolk, and finally the winter melon can be made into a winter melon cup.

It just so happens that there are wrapped Yao Zhu in the Xiaoice box, and then cut some diced salted pork, diced shiitake mushrooms, diced carrots, dried bamboo shoots, and put them in the winter melon, the taste is definitely delicious.

As for the two meat dishes, she also figured out how to cook them.

The fish is a black fish, and after buying it, let the market slice it, and remove the main bones and the head and tail of the fish. It just so happens that there are two dishes, the black fish is eaten, the fish fillet is slippery, and the fish head and fish bones are roasted with tofu in a pot.

She peeled half a garlic in the fillet, put some shiitake mushrooms in the tofu soup, dried shiitake mushrooms had to be watered first, and the slippery fish fillets were also marinated in cooking wine, salt and starch.

After the fish is prepared, the duck is cooked.

After the duck is bought, let the stall be disemboweled, and what He Wei needs to do is to clean, after washing, blanch it with water, and then stuff a handful of green onions and shiitake mushrooms into the duck's belly, put it in the pot, sprinkle it with cooking wine, salt, soy sauce, and then pour two bottles of beer.

He Wei was busy in the small kitchen in an orderly manner, and He's mother, who was unloading with Lao Wu outside the store, was a little anxious, lest her daughter burn down the kitchen. Yes, as soon as he saw Father He coming back on a bicycle, he didn't care to ask him why he came back so late, so he took off the blue coat that blocked sawdust on his body, threw it into Father He's arms, and hurriedly ran into the store and went straight to the kitchen.

"Vivi! Weiwei, your dad is back, mom is cooking. As soon as He Mu pushed open the kitchen door, a spicy hot air hit her face, and He Mu, who was already sweating, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Mom, you take a break to drink saliva first, see if you're hot, and then talk about it when the sweat is put away, I can handle it."

He Wei was cooking beans and put aside a little chili, no wonder He Mu sneezed, but she was also afraid that she would catch a cold.

At this time, sweating when you move, feeling cold when you calm down, and you are most likely to catch a cold.

Mother He inspected it and saw that her daughter really had a few brushes, and I didn't know what was stewed in the electric pressure cooker, and the fragrance had already come out. It looked like beer duck was roasting beer in the iron pot, because she saw two empty beer bottles in the corner, lifted the lid of the pot and looked, well, it had already started to collect the juice, and it looked pretty good. The anxiety in my heart calmed down, and I said with relief: "Okay, Mom will wash her face first, and I'll help you later." ”

Since her daughter can handle it, He's mother is happy to enjoy the blessings for a while, goes into the bathroom and washes her face, then pours a cup of cold boiling, and adds some tea to the two men who ordered the goods outside the store, and then turns back to the kitchen.

"You haven't forgotten to cook the rice, have you?"

"It's already cooked, and it'll be ready for about a quarter of an hour." He Wei glanced at the rice cooker and replied.

"Done! So what's left to do? You say, mom will do it. Mother He smiled and rolled her sleeves, and it felt good to give her daughter a hand.

He Wei said thoughtfully: "Mom, I can really do it, you go outside to rest for a while, okay, I'll call you to serve the food." ”

Mother He can sit still, so she naturally stays in the small kitchen to help, even if she watches her daughter stir-fry with a spatula.

He Wei's estimate was quite accurate, and when a few dishes were out of the pot one after another, Father He and they just unloaded all the wood from the cargo compartment.

He Xidong stepped on the meal after school, saw the steaming dishes on the table, took a deep breath, and asked He's mother: "Mom, what are you putting in the roast duck?" So fragrant! ”

He Mu slapped away his hand that was about to break the duck's paws: "Go wash your hands first!" This duck was roasted by your sister, and she didn't add any ingredients, so she put two bottles of beer on hold. ”

"Vivi knows how to cook? It's so good, it's full of color, flavor, and flavor! Lao Wu washed his hands and came out, and continued with a smile.

Mother He heard someone boasting about her daughter, not to mention how comfortable she was, but she still said politely: "Where, speaking of which, today is her first time cooking, and she used to help me choose vegetables and peel beans, if it doesn't suit my taste, Lao Wu, don't mind." ”

"How can it! It's appetizing when you look at it! ”

"Don't say it! My sister is quite talented in cooking. The taste of this beer duck is absolutely amazing! ”

He Xidong washed his hands, poured wine for Dad and Lao Wu, tore the two duck thighs for them to drink, pulled a duck claw and gnawed it, and gave a thumbs up to He Wei who was holding the winter melon cup.

He Mu scolded him with a smile and beckoned everyone to come to the table to eat.

He Xidong picked up three bowls of rice in a row, and said to He Wei with a full burp: "Weiwei, how can you be so virtuous, whoever marries you in the future will make a fortune......"

Mother He almost choked on the rice grains in her mouth, and slapped her son on the head angrily: "What are you talking about!" Your sister is only a freshman in high school, and she will go to graduate school or doctoral studies in the future, and what kind of postdoc, what are you doing if you don't marry so early, you can't stop your mouth when you eat. ”

He Wei: "...... "Mother, hey! Before, you yourself were still there talking about whether you would marry or not. (To be continued......)
