Chapter 56: New Year
During the Chinese New Year, many people kill chickens to buy meat, but there are few families who can really eat meat in their stomachs.
When a guest comes to the house, put the boiled meat on the table and put it in a bowl, and the polite guest will not touch the meat in this bowl at all, and a bowl of meat can be placed from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, so that the bowl of meat can be divided.
Naturally, this will not be the case when the conditions at home are good, and everyone can get a piece of the cut chicken.
There are many children in the farmer's family, and when they are divided, there is basically nothing left for one person and one chopstick.
In addition, there are no seasonings at home, most of them are boiled in water and steamed in a stove, and the fragrance is not so strong.
Lin Shuqing's cooking is influenced by another world, so she naturally adds a lot of things to the dish to add flavor and flavor, so this smell is naturally incomparable.
Chinese New Year is the only time most people can eat with an open stomach in their homes, so even if you can't eat it when you smell the fragrance, at least you still have something to eat in front of you.
One by one, they pulled the chopsticks, speeding up the speed of eating, and smelling the fragrance was also extraordinary.
For this reason, many old ladies who are usually careful in their budgets have a somewhat ugly face today. Compared with previous years, I ate a lot of rice in one meal today.
The food that was prepared for the evening was eaten cleanly, are these people reincarnated as hungry ghosts?
Because it is not easy to get angry during the New Year, I have to leave the account until the fifteenth day of the first month.
Lin Shuqing didn't know what the people in the village were like, so she put the stewed beef and radish soup on the small stove in the hall.
This is what she specially asked people to build when she built the house.
In winter, when the weather is cold, it will be much hotter to light a fire here. It will be convenient to boil hot water, or if you have guests coming to visit.
Meals can be eaten hot and warm around a small stove.
When the weather is cold, it is much better for the children to write and do work in this room.
It is said to be a small stove, but it is actually really small, and the diameter of the pot inside is as wide as a bucket.
For convenience, Lin Shuqing made a movable pot, with a handle at each end of the pot, which could be taken away directly. But it is not very deep round bottom, and there is a gap between it and the pot of hot pot.
After the pot is gone, you can directly boil water in the teapot.
Throw two pieces of wood together to turn it into a dining table.
After Lin Shuqing put the table together, she took her younger brothers and sisters to serve the dishes.
She prepared all the fried meatballs and beans in the morning, and let the children clip them by themselves.
In addition, bean sprouts, tofu, and fish balls are all available, and Lin Shuqing also specially made a preserved egg mixed with tofu.
Radish side dishes and tempeh sake lees are also prepared, and bean sprouts are thrown into the pot from time to time to soak.
The children were happy to do it themselves, throwing the vegetables into the bubbling soup pot and cooking them, and then scooping them up and eating them themselves.
Except for the younger Lin Zhisheng, who doesn't know how to use chopsticks, but they are all dishes that are picked up by several children in the family, and they are only allowed to eat after they are cooled aside.
After eating a few bites of food, Lin Shuqing went to serve the meal.
The rice is steamed in a pot in the back kitchen, and after steaming, there is a large layer of fragrant and crispy pot at the bottom of the pot.
Lin Zhisheng couldn't eat the pot, so he had to eat noodles in the morning.
and then ate the dishes that his brothers and sisters gave him from time to time, his little mouth was oily, well-behaved and obedient, which was strange and likable.
"Sister, eat."
These are a few simple words that Lin Zhisheng learned, and he learned them from several other brothers on weekdays.
They called Lin Shuqing diligent, and Lin Zhisheng also learned a lot
The Lin family had a good life during this time, and the children in the family could not only eat enough, but also eat a lot.
So they didn't eat very much at this New Year's dinner, keep in mind my sister's words, don't eat too much, otherwise it will be uncomfortable, and I will give them food again when I am hungry.
The next time is to visit relatives and friends, and the people who come and go in the village are visiting relatives.
Lin Shuqing They don't have to go to relatives, the relatives of the Lin family are her father's uncles and aunts and the like. When I was making tofu, I came to the door to share the profits, and I didn't even want to do the work.
Lin Shuqing ignored them and directly asked the villagers to drive them out of the village.
For this kind of relatives who come to eat white food, there seem to be so many in every family. But because they are all relatives, it's not so easy to tear their faces.
Except for the children of this family, Lin Shuqing didn't treat anyone as a relative at all, so there was no need to visit relatives and friends.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Lin Shuqing has been making new food in the kitchen.
She originally wanted to make cakes, but there were many raw materials missing, and there was no milk or anything like that, so she had to give up.
She can't make the cakes she often eats, but she has also eaten a lot of other Chinese dim sum.
After rummaging through the things at home, Lin Shuqing waved her hand and decided to make jujube paste brown sugar cake.
This cake is simple, just like the steamed cake made by a few aunts a few days ago, add some jujube paste and sugar, make it fluffy, steam it in the pot for a while, and it is a cake.
This snack can only be made for the children at home, and cannot be taken out and sold.
After all, the raw materials of the flower are here, and the red dates may not be too expensive, but the sugar of this flower is a lot. It's not impossible to simply rely on jujube red mud to enhance the taste, but the family's manpower is really too busy.
She wasn't good at making a lot of hair cakes, so the plan was shelved.
Shelved and put aside, and she still sent a big pot of the finished jujube paste brown sugar cake to Du Dachuan's house.
When I was hungry in the afternoon, I took out a piece of this cake and was still very filling.
The children in the family also ate such a sweet fat cake for the first time, but they didn't even like sugar very much, and begged Lin Shuqing just to eat a few more fat cakes.
Lin Shuqing can still fulfill this little wish.
She made a lot of food in a big pot, and the cold hair cake was thrown on the steamer and could be eaten again.
The breakfast of several children has changed from porridge to cake, and Lin Zhisheng's favorite food is Lin Zhisheng.
It gets to the point where you smile happily when you see the cake.
In addition, Lin Shuqing also made a lot of other snacks.
Although the weather was cold during the New Year, there was no snow in winter, and it was difficult to store things.
Lin Shuqing thought about making so many kinds of meat into jerky meat floss, so as not to spoil after a long time, so it is not bad to feed the child.
So during the New Year, the children stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
The younger ones kept practicing calligraphy, and then waited for their sister to cook, looking forward to what she would do to eat.
Lin Shuqing's life is good, and Zhou's life is obviously too difficult.
It was the worst year she had ever had, not only did the wheat in her family spoil a lot. That damn granddaughter made a lot of money and didn't call her over when she moved into a new house.
Brother Song'er also came back and said that he was threatened by Lin Shuqing, and the Zhou family was even more angry.
Brother Song'er is her lifeline, whoever moves, she will definitely fight with that person.
"How's your preparation, old man?"
