Chapter 1420: Busy for the New Year
Twenty-three sugar melons are sticky, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five grind tofu, twenty-six cut meat, twenty-seven kill roosters, twenty-eight handfuls of dough hair, and twenty-nine steamed steamed buns.
This is a slip of the tongue handed down by the old man, talking about things to do before the New Year.
In the era of material scarcity, both adults and children are looking forward to the New Year, because they can eat good things that they can't eat on weekdays.
People have worked hard for a year, and at this time, whether rich or poor, they must always have something delicious to treat.
The Qu family used to live very well, not to mention now, looking at the county, it can be better than the Qu family, and no one can be found.
This year, the family is the most complete, and there is Chen Siping's family here for the New Year, so why don't you have a good look?
Jiaxiang got married, cleaned up the house in advance, and all the houses were painted, and the snow-white walls were not dirty at all, so there was no need to sweep the house at twenty-four.
Twenty-five grinding tofu, rot Tongfu, so tofu is a must-have for the New Year.
Many people will leave a piece of tofu pressure cooker, that is, no matter whether they cook or not, they put a piece of tofu in the pot.
Now that I have moved to the county seat, I don't have to think about making tofu, I don't have those things, I can only set it from the tofu factory, and let the family reserve a large piece of tofu.
Twenty-six cut a piece of meat, this is also easy, Jiaxiang killed two big fat pigs at home when he married, and there was a lot of meat left.
In addition, the beef and mutton that Jiaxiang got back before is definitely enough for the New Year, so you don't need to buy it again.
These jobs can be saved, but others can't be saved, there are many Qu families, there are more meals, and there will definitely be a lot of steamed buns during the New Year.
Since the twenty-fourth, Mei Lin and her sisters have made two large pots of noodles a day and steamed four pots of steamed buns.
At twenty-six or seventeen, not only ordinary steamed buns, but also steamed buns of various patterns.
There are special molds at home, and the kneaded noodles can be put into various shapes, such as ingots, fish, flowers, etc.
This job is not difficult, girls can do it, just follow the instructions of adults, put the noodles in the mold and compact, and then buckle them out to wake up, and wait for them to wake up and put them in the pot to steam.
In addition to using a mold to card steamed buns, Qiaolian also led Meilin Yushu to steam a lot of jujube steamed buns and flower steamed buns, and the snow-white steamed buns were full of red jujubes, symbolizing the prosperity of the new year.
With the help of knives, scissors, combs and other tools, the flower steamed buns are made in a variety of different forms, which arouses the children's exclamation and love again and again.
"Milk, I'm going to eat this, I'm going to eat this."
Minghan Minghui looked at the steamed buns in the shape of pigs and puppies that had just come out of the pot, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to eat them in his mouth immediately.
The key is that those little animals are so cute, cute and cute, and they are most attractive to children.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, it's for you to eat, you can eat whatever you want." Qiaolian picked up steamed buns from the pot while smiling and comforting the children.
These are made for children, and there is also a bean paste filling in it, a soft cartoon animal steamed bun, wrapped in sweet bean paste filling, which is definitely a children's favorite.
"Then, take one for each person, don't burn it, eat it slowly." Qiao Lian picked up a large plate of small steamed buns in the shape of animals, handed them to the children, and asked them to take them and eat them.
"Thank you, grandma, grandma is the best." Several children said in unison.
"Go, go, don't pat yourself here, let's go into the house and eat well." Qiao Lian waved her hand and drove a group of monkey children to eat steamed buns in the house.
The children giggled and ran away with the steamed buns, and Qiaolian looked at the children's backs with a smile on her face.
How good, the New Year should be like this, lively and lively.
"Mom, you are used to them, these ones are about to go to heaven.
As soon as the steamed buns came out of the pot, they took them to eat, how could there be such a rule? ”
There are still Meilin Yushu in the kitchen, the children ran away, and the concubines complained to their mother-in-law.
The older the in-laws get, the more they spoil the children, and these leather children at home have a tendency to go to heaven recently.
"What's unruly? How can we have those rules?
It's just a few steamed buns, which were originally steamed for them to eat, otherwise why would I bother with all this effort?
I can tell you, if you want to take care of the child, you will take the child away after the year, and you can take care of it when you go back, but at home, you can rest your little ability.
These children in our family are sensible, so it's not easy to come back, and they all get together, just naughty.
Waiting for the end of the New Year to separate, there are not so many people to race with, and they will not be Tao. ”
Qiao Lian doesn't care what her daughters-in-law say, she can see her grandchildren for a few days a year, and she is not allowed to spoil her?
When Mei Lin heard this, they each shook their heads and smiled bitterly, let's see, with the support of grandparents, can these bear children not go to heaven?
Fortunately, the children were just a little naughty, but they didn't cause any trouble, and they had to beat them up at night, and don't go to the sky one by one.
The concubines glanced at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and secretly resolved that they must talk about the children in the evening.
Qiao Lian naturally didn't know what her daughters-in-law were thinking, and even if she knew, she didn't care.
In her opinion, the children of the Qu family are all well-behaved, how can they go to heaven because she is spoiled?
Besides, she is not an unprincipled pet, she still knows right and wrong, and the children also know it.
It's just that he loves to play and loves to be a little bit, and he is a little naughty, it's normal for children, who hasn't been a child? It's all from that time, why bother to be so strict with the children?
On the twenty-seventh day, a lot of steamed buns were steamed, and on the twenty-eighth, the family began to cook meat and boil skin jelly.
There is a lot of meat left over for a happy event, and these are all good things, but they can't be thrown away.
Boil it in hot water and shave the hair and grease, then cut it into thin strips, return to the pot to cook, cook until it is a certain temperature, and bring it to a cool place to cool, it will become a delicious skin jelly.
Some people will also separate the skin of the meat from the soup, and the soup will become transparent and frozen when it is cool, and the skin of the meat will be mixed and frozen, each with a different flavor.
Although Suzanne has had a Spring Festival in China, she is not a native of the country, and she does not know much about some of the rules and customs of the Chinese New Year.
Not to mention the food she made last year, she has never seen any of them.
This time in the Chinese New Year at Qujia, Suzanne felt that she was really eye-opening, Chinese food is simply amazing, even things like pork skin can be turned into food, which is amazing.
"Second sister, I feel like you can do anything, it's amazing, I've learned a lot from you this year, it's great." Suzanne complimented sincerely.
"These are ordinary home-cooked dishes, it's not a good thing, let's celebrate the New Year here, many people do this.
Don't worry, we'll still have something to eat tomorrow, I'm going to fry some meatballs and dried fruits tomorrow, and then overoil the meat.
This year, our family will have a reunion, and we must make more delicious food, so that you can all eat enough. ”
It's rare that the daughters and sons are at home, Qiaolian is happy, she must make more delicious food and celebrate well.
