Chapter 444: Keeping the New Year
Tender green vegetables, white tofu, and bright red mutton rolls, plate after plate of vegetables kept pouring into the hot pot, the whole hall was steaming, and everyone was sweating on their heads.
At this time, everyone also understood why Mu Xiu wanted to let them eat together in the hall, if they ate in the house with a kang next door, they would not heat people up, and this is just right now......
"I didn't expect sweet potato flour to taste so good when I put it in." Mu Shui finally took care of it, and the sweet potato vermicelli absorbed the deliciousness of the chicken soup, and it was really a rare delicacy to eat in your mouth.
"Second aunt, I will eat hot pot every day in the future." Mu Chunfeng proposed with a flushed face.
"I want it too, I want it too." Li Hu ate something in his mouth, and didn't forget to follow along.
"No problem." Mu Xiu pursed his lips and smiled.
Mu Xiaoshu was also a little excited, eating hot pot every day, but she didn't object at all.
"Delicious, delicious." Uncle Chen put some chili peppers, and he was panting for breath when he ate "shhh
"Then what can I do with so many dumplings?" Zhou Shuilian was full, put down her chopsticks, saw the dumplings placed aside, and said worriedly.
"Mother, the hot pot is not hungry, wait until twelve o'clock, just have a bowl of dumplings for one person." Every time Mu Xiu finishes eating hot pot, if he doesn't eat the staple food, he will be hungry later.
"Water lotus, just put the dumplings in the hot pot and cook them, they must be delicious." Mu Shui wiped the sweat off his head and said to Zhou Shuilian.
After Mu Xiu heard Mu Shui's words, her first reaction was that Mu Shui really knew how to eat it, she used to love to throw shrimp dumplings in the hot pot to cook, and the second reaction was to refuse.
"No, you can't put it, our dumplings are too big, cook them in the hot pot, I'm afraid that if you cook it to the end, the skin will be boiled, and only the filling will be left." Mu Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the wrapped dumplings on the table.
Now there is no shortage of anything, when Zhou Shuilian makes dumplings, she loves to wrap the dumplings into pigs, all round, thin skin and thick filling, everyone loves to eat Zhou Shuilian's dumplings, the bite is full of meat, and it is very enjoyable to eat fragrantly.
It's just that it takes some time to cook, and the hot pot itself is shallow, such a big dumpling, unless it is only cooked two or three at a time, otherwise, the dumplings are not only undercooked, but this hot pot will also be because the dumpling skin is pure starch, the more you cook, the more you paste the bottom of the pot.
"No, Xiu is right." Everyone thinks what Mu Xiu said is really reasonable.
"Mother, let's put some dumplings first, cook them and then eat them in hot pot." Mu Xiu thought for a while and said.
"Okay, this is a good way, I'll go." Zhou Shuilian stood up and went to the kitchen.
"I'm going to help too." Aunt Chen is getting older and eating too much, so she has to move to eliminate her food.
Mu Shui, Chen Xuhui, Uncle Chen, the appetites of the three men are really good, especially Chen Xuhui and Li Hu, the two boys are growing their bodies, and they are simply food grinders.
Here, Mu Xiaoshu and Mu Xiu were already sitting there and hiccups, they were still eating alive, and it seemed that they could finish another pot.
"Alright, the dumplings are here." Zhou Shuilian and Aunt Chen came over with a few plates of dumplings.
The cooked dumplings were picked up in the wooden water, put them in a spicy pot and soaked them, and ate a bite with the ingredients.
"It's delicious, you can taste it." Driven by Mu Shui, several plates of dumplings were also eaten.
Looking at the preparation of so many ingredients, all of which were eaten cleanly, Mu Xiu really admired everyone's combat effectiveness.
After eating, after everyone cleaned up the hall together, Chen Jianqiang and Aunt Chen went back to rest.
Li Hu and Mu Chunfeng persisted until more than eleven o'clock, the two children couldn't stay up and fell asleep, Mu Xiaoshu put them into the room and continued to come out to keep the New Year.
Mu Xiu yawned one after another, watching Zhou Shuilian doing needlework and nagging with Mu Xiaoshu, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yuan, and she didn't know what Lu Yuan was doing......
In this era, it is really difficult to contact the other party, although Lu Niandong's family has a phone, but now it is very difficult to call, if you want to call, you have to go to the post office to queue up, and you have to make an appointment, in short, it is very troublesome, which is as convenient as a mobile phone later, and the family was busy a year ago, and Mu Xiu could only do it.
Anyway, if Lu Yuan is also going to be angry, then she is looking at the wrong person.
Thinking about it, Mu Xiu yawned again, keeping the New Year is too boring, if only there was a TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Chen Xuhui has now become a study maniac, and he has already returned to his room to read books and do exercises.
After Zhou Shuilian put Mu Xiaohua to sleep, she returned to the hall and sat in the Eight Immortals chair, sewing her hat with stitches and threads in front of the light, and there were rabbit furs all over the side.
Zhou Shuilian chatted with Mu Xiaoshu while doing it, and from time to time she said a few words to Mu Shui, who was weaving a bamboo basket, and Mu Xiu, who was in a daze......
"Xiu, I settled the account with your father, and after leaving a part of the family, plus the money from selling vermicelli a year ago, I made up 3,000 yuan, and after the New Year, let your father accompany you on a trip, and go to the provincial capital Lujia to pay back the money first, otherwise you will always owe it and not pay it back, and it is not a matter at that time." Zhou Shuilian bit the thread, looked at Mu Xiu and said.
"After the New Year, the school is about to open, how can Mu Xiu have time to go to the provincial capital." Mu Xiaoshu next to him interjected.
"Mother, now that it's the New Year, I don't know what the bus to the provincial capital is crowded, I think, after the start of school, I will meet the weekend, and then ask for two days off to go to the provincial capital." Mu Xiu already had a plan in his heart, Lu Yuan may not be able to see him, but it is time to visit Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.
"Leave? Doesn't that delay learning? Zhou Shuilian asked.
"My grades are good, by the way, I have to show my parents the report card." Mu Xiu stood up and went back to his room and took out the report card and paper this time.
Although Mu Shui and Zhou Shuilian didn't know a few words, they still recognized the numbers, and when they saw the 100 points and 98 points on the scroll, both of them couldn't believe it.
"Mu Shui, I'm not mistaken, it's all 100 points." Zhou Shuilian exclaimed.
"Mother, Mu Xiu's academic performance is very good, when I saw the paper before, I was also shocked, but then I got used to it." Mu Xiaoshu said with a smile next to him.
Mu Xiaoshu began to learn to read, Mu Xiu first taught her to write the name of her family, and now Mu Xiaoshu can write the name of everyone in the family very clearly, and in order to sign Mu Xiu's roll and look good, she is practicing hard to write her name.
