After eating at noon, everyone was busy.

Ji Changlin wrote the couplet, and Gu Zhendong helped paste it.

Wang Guiying grabbed a chicken from the pig pen, and Gu Zhennan took it, "Mother, I'll kill it." ”

"Okay." Wang Guiying gave the chicken to Gu Zhennan, took out the pickled pig's feet a few years ago and washed them, and stewed them in a pot later, and the fruit helped to light the fire.

"Shall I help you?" Guo Xiang said to Gu Zhennan.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, he likes to work with his daughter-in-law very much.

Although Guo Xiang has never killed chickens, she is a doctor and is not afraid of blood.

I saw Gu Zhennan catch the chicken, twist the neck of the chicken to the head, expose the neck, pluck out the fine hair on it, and Guo Xiang stepped forward to help grab his feet.

Wang Guiying brought a bowl over, and there was a little salt water in it, "The blood is in this bowl, don't waste it." ”

Gu Zhennan nodded, took a kitchen knife and slashed at the chicken's neck, and blood suddenly gushed out.

took another chopstick and picked it up from the broken neck, picked out the trachea, and cut it again, the chicken's whole body twitched and struggled very hard, and Guo Xiang hurriedly grabbed it.

The chicken blood flowed down and dripped into the bowl, Gu Zhennan stirred it with chopsticks, and after a while, the blood coagulated.

When the chicken is dead, boil the boiling water, soak the chicken, pluck the feathers, disembowel, wash the chicken offal and then hand it over to Wang Guiying.

Wang Guiying fried pig's feet with ginger, added a little home-brewed sweet potato wine, boiled in water, and moved to the charcoal stove to stew.

Then he started cooking the braised pork again.

This year's debt was repaid, Guo Xiang also kept money before, and then his son sent money back, and there were a lot of dishes prepared this year.

In previous years, there was almost only a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of fish, and it was left for guests to eat during the New Year, and they didn't dare to touch chopsticks.

This year is very different from the past, Wang Guiying is full of satisfaction when she cooks the food, and she doesn't know how good her mood is.

"By the way, I still have a specialty there." Guo Xiang suddenly remembered.

I searched through the bag and found a packet of dried squid, soaked it in hot water, and maybe had time to fry a bowl.

When Wang Guiying fried and stewed all the other dishes, the dried squid was almost soaked.

"Mother, fry a bowl of this and try it." Guo Xiang took the dried squid.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Guo'er, who was sitting in front of the stove, stood up curiously.

Growing up in the mainland, I used to live a hard life and never saw seafood at all.

"This is squid, it's seafood, and it was given by Hu Jian's friend." Guo Xiang said.

"I won't." Wang Guiying was a little embarrassed.

"I'll teach you." Guo Xiang washed the squid, pulled out the transparent fish bones inside, washed the suckers on the squid whiskers, and then cut off the whiskers first, cut the squid body with a straight knife and thin stripes, cut it again with an oblique knife, and then cut it into a diamond shape piece by piece.

"Blanch it with water first." Guo Xiang said.

Wang Guiying put water in the pot, waited for the water to boil, and threw the dried squid down, and as soon as the dried squid was heated, it rolled up, and the meat protruded, forming squid rolls.

"It's fun!" The fruit looks very new by the stove.

When it was almost the same, Guo Xiang scooped up the squid and put it in a bowl, and said to Wang Guiying: "Then you can fry the chili peppers and eat them." ”

"Good!" Wang Guiying nodded, so you can understand.

Cut the ginger slices and shallots, put the lard on high heat, fry until fragrant, throw the dried squid down and fry, pour some wine, then put in the cut chili, salt, soy sauce seasoning, a little monosodium glutamate, and you can start the pot.

"I'll taste it!" Guo'er couldn't wait, she had never eaten it before.

Guo Xiang put a piece in the fruit's mouth, and ate a piece himself, nodding while eating, "Not bad." ”

"It's delicious, it's fresh, it's crunchy." The fruit also nodded while chewing.

After cooking this dish, Wang Guiying finally cooked a fish, which is more than enough every year, which is also a must-have dish for the New Year.

On the other side, the pig's feet and braised pork are almost cooked, and the aroma of the whole kitchen is permeated, and the saliva of the fruit is flowing down, "There are so many good dishes for the Chinese New Year this year." ”

Wang Guiying is also full of joy, this is the most prosperous year of her life.

Guo Xiang walked out of the kitchen, Gu Zhennan shook her hand, "Is it cold?" ”

Although the temperature in Shonan is not as low as in Tohoku, the indoor and outdoor temperatures are basically the same because there is no heating, and the coldest time of the Chinese New Year drops to about 0 degrees Celsius, and it is more humid, which is more difficult to say than in Tohoku.

"It's okay, I don't feel cold when I've been doing things." Guo Xiang shook his head.

"There's a charcoal basin in the hall, come and bake the fire." Gu Zhennan took Guo Xiang's hand.

Gu Zhendong and Ji Changlin were already sitting at the table to roast the fire, seeing Gu Zhennan holding Guo Xiang's hand, Gu Zhendong's face was a little red, the relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law was so good, he was a little envious.

"Come and sit." Ji Changlin greeted.

"Hmm." Guo Xiang responded, and Gu Zhennan took the iron chopsticks and flicked them in the charcoal fire, so that the charcoal fire burned hotly.

"How is it in the Northeast, do you practice medicine? If you get a doctor's qualification certificate, you have to practice medicine, otherwise you will be unfamiliar. Ji Changlin said.

Guo Xiang shook his head, "I don't have a chance, but I want to go to university and medical university." ”

"You still have to go to college?" Ji Changlin and Gu Zhendong said in unison, both surprised.

"Well, Zhennan and I are both preparing to go to university." Guo Xiang said, and Gu Zhennan also nodded on the side.

"Big brother also wants to take the test?" Gu Zhennan was shocked, the eldest brother was not young.

"Zhendong, don't worry, we won't affect you, you study hard, don't worry about tuition or anything, we will be ready." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong is also a junior in high school this year, and he will take the college entrance examination with them next year, she wondered if he was afraid that they would all be admitted to college, and he would have no money to go to school by then.

"My sister-in-law is doing some business now, and there is no problem with tuition and living expenses, you don't have to worry, we will take care of the family." Guo Xiang said again.

"I'm not worried." Gu Zhendong's face flushed, "I'm just a little surprised." ”

First, he didn't expect the eldest brother to be older, and second, although the sister-in-law is not stupid, it is not so easy to get into college, can she?

But they made their own decisions, and he couldn't say anything.

"Do you still want to be a Western doctor?" Ji Changlin asked.

Guo Xiang nodded, "I still want to be a surgeon, I feel that I haven't lost my knowledge of Western medicine, but I don't have qualifications now, so I can only retake the exam." But don't worry, Master, I won't lose Chinese medicine, and I will definitely be able to use it in the future. ”

Ji Changlin nodded, "It's good that you think it through yourself, and in the future, you will serve the people, regardless of Chinese medicine and Western medicine." ”

"Has Zhendong thought about what to learn in the future?" Guo Xiang looked at Gu Zhendong.

"I don't know." Gu Zhendong shook his head, in fact, he didn't have a clear goal, and he was not familiar with those majors, so he was a little confused.

Guo Xiang nodded, it is normal for him to have no career plan at his age, and he lives in the countryside with little knowledge, and he doesn't know a lot.

"Your eldest brother should still be able to take the oil-related major, and if you want to be with him, you can also consider it, but working in the oil field is very hard."

"In addition, our country is now vigorously developing the economy, and there is a shortage of economic talents, so you can also consider studying economic management." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong was surprised, he didn't expect his sister-in-law to know so much.
