Chapter 123: Warm Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

The Zhou family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich.

Sauce elbow, chicken stewed mushrooms, sauerkraut vermicelli, pork head meat, skin jelly, fried pork segments, croquettes, fried eggplant box, tofu rolls, cabbage rolls, pork trotters in sauce, braised pork ribs, mushu pork, dried tofu with fungus and mung bean sprouts.

There were exactly fourteen dishes, and the table was full, and some plates were stacked.

"Come on, come and sit, hurry up and sit down, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, our family has a lively New Year."

Old Man Zhou saw that all the food on the table was ready, so he beckoned his children and grandchildren to all sit down and eat together.

The kang table was smaller, and the old couple led Zhou Tiantian and Yongxin, and their four sons sat on the kang to eat. The one on the ground was standing bigger, and there were a few concubines of the Xu family, leading Zhou Yongping and his family and other children at this table.

Everyone sat down, and the wine glasses of the old man, Zhou Anbang and others were also filled with wine, and the old man looked around, looking at the children and grandchildren in front of him, and was extremely happy.

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I am very tired after a busy year, so I don't need to say anything today, I am open to eat and drink, how happy and how to come."

The big guys are all moving chopsticks, and this year's food is much better than in previous years, so hurry up and try it. "The old man is really, he didn't say too much bells and whistles, he just beckoned the big guy to dinner.

The old man spoke, and everyone was naturally no longer restrained, so they automatically picked up the dishes with chopsticks.

The children have to work the meat, this elbow, that slices of meat, and that one is satisfied. Zhou Tiantian likes to nibble on pork ribs, so she took a piece and gnawed it slowly.

The old lady smiled when she saw her little granddaughter nibbling on pork ribs, "Why do you love to nibble on pork ribs?" There's not a lot of meat in this thing, so it's better to eat elbows. ”

said this, but the action did not stop, and several ribs were sandwiched in a row and put them in the bowl in front of Zhou Tiantian.

"Thank you, grandma, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just clip it myself."

Zhou Tiantian was nibbling on the ribs, her mouth was full of oil, her cheeks were bulging, she looked inexplicably similar to a little squirrel, and she looked even more cute.

"Eat as much as you like, and let your milk or your dad help you clip it if you can't reach it." Over there, Old Man Zhou sandwiched a piece of chicken thigh for Zhou Tiantian and said with a smile.

"Well, well, grandpa, you eat too."

Zhou Tiantian just finished nibbling on a piece of pork ribs, so she hurriedly sandwiched some elbows and chicken for her grandparents and put them in the bowl, and then came back to nibble on the pork ribs and chicken thighs peacefully.

She likes to nibble on pork ribs, and thinks that the meat on the ribs is fragrant, which is better than meat slices and elbows.

The children eat casually, and the old man Zhou and Zhou Anbang over there are eating and drinking at the same time, and the Xu family is also laughing while eating, and they also take care of their new daughter-in-law Lin Fang from time to time.

The family was reunited and lively to eat a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a room full of laughter, very festive atmosphere of the New Year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lasted for almost an hour before it dispersed, and the old man and the Zhou Anbang brothers drank a lot, and their faces were flushed.

Needless to say, the children all ate with their mouths full of oil, their little bellies were round, and they each held their stomachs and shouted that they were eating.

"If you have enough to eat, just wander around on the ground, don't go out to run and jump and make trouble, beware of stomach aches."

Mrs. Zhou smiled when she saw the children like that, and hurriedly told the children to be careful, they were not allowed to go out just after eating, choking on the cool breeze and stomach aches.

Zhou Lili's sisters and Lin Fang worked together, cleaned up the table, folded the leftovers together, and put the dishes and chopsticks in the pot to scrub. After a busy period of work and tidying up the kitchen, I sat down to rest.

The old man drank too much and was a little confused, so he simply lay down on the kang and squinted, and the Zhou Anbang brothers also felt sleepy, so they went to the Westinghouse to sleep.

Xu's concubines sat together and chatted for a while, seeing that it was not early, so they hurriedly went to the kitchen to chop the stuffing and prepare to make dumplings at night.

The old lady sat on the kang and instructed Yongping Yongqing to take out melon seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc. from the cabinet, "You two go and fry these and keep them for everyone to eat at night." ”

The melon seeds are home-grown, and the pine nuts and hazelnuts are needless to say, naturally they were given by the Han family, and they have not been willing to move.

Yongping Yongqing is doing a good job, and this little thing is naturally no longer a problem, so he went to the kitchen with a few bags, slowly stir-fried over low heat, and fried all kinds of nuts pot by pot.

The melon seeds are fried and packed with a dustpan to the outside to dustpan the straw seeds, pine nuts and hazelnuts are not used, find a house to hold, who wants to eat their own grab and swallow.

"Tiantian, come, eat pine nuts and hazelnuts." As soon as it was fried, the old lady called for the children to come and eat.

The Han family gave a lot, and the children usually can't eat it, so it's naturally enough at this time.

When the children heard their grandmother's shout, they immediately ran over, and then one of them loaded a small bag of pine nuts or hazelnuts, and turned around and ran back to play.

Zhou Tiantian also grabbed two handfuls of pine nuts and put them in her pocket, but she didn't use her teeth directly, she was in the tooth replacement period, and her teeth on both sides were a little loose, so she didn't dare to eat these hard nuts.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Tiantian went to rummage in the drawer and found a pair of pliers, planning to use the pliers to pick up the pine nuts to eat.

But she tried it, but it seemed that she didn't have enough strength to clamp it, so Zhou Tiantian, who was angry, pouted sweetly, and smashed the pine nuts with pliers, but the pine nut shells were smashed open, and the Ren'er inside was also smashed.

"What is Tianbao doing? Oops, this is smashing pine nuts? Come on, milk teaches you how to eat. Mrs. Zhou saw it, so she beckoned to Zhou Tiantian with a smile and let her little granddaughter go over.

"Milk, I changed my teeth, I didn't dare to eat pine nuts, I was still hungry, so I wanted to use pliers to clamp it, but I couldn't clamp it with my strength, and I wanted to smash it with pliers and smashed all the pine nuts." Zhou Tiantian pursed her mouth, feeling that this pine nut was too unfriendly to her.

The key is that the pine nuts she ate in her previous life were all open, just pick them up directly, and now she can't swallow her teeth, and it's too hard to eat a pine nut.

"Silly girl, if you want to eat, find grandma, there is a way for milk. Go ahead and bring your mother's bean sprouts scale. Mrs. Zhou smiled and gave Zhou Tiantian an idea.

Zhou Tiantian was stunned when she heard this, "Scales? Will it work? "I didn't hear that you could smash pine nuts with a scale.

In her previous life, she had seen that kind of novel advertisement, what to smash walnuts with the emperor's jade seal. Well, the scales are iron, and they should be stronger than the jade seal, so it should be no problem to smash pine nuts, right?

Since grandma said it, Zhou Tiantian didn't want to suspect anything, so she immediately went to find the scale.

The scales of these years are all rod scales, and the scales are quite heavy with a rope tied to it.

Zhou Tiantian found the rod scale, took off the scale, took it and went back to the East House. "Milk, how do you use this thing?" Zhou Tiantian asked Mrs. Zhou with a confused face.

Mrs. Zhou took the scale with a smile, and then put a pine nut on the edge of the kang, and gently knocked it with the scale, the pine nut shell cracked, and the kernel inside was intact.

"That's it, you see, how convenient is it?"
