Tie Dan is in the school every day, and he naturally learns a lot of words, and things like him learn at his age are also from easy to difficult, and Xu is gradual, which is the most suitable for Shen Wentao to learn.

"It couldn't be better." Shen Wentao slapped happily: "It's just that in this way, it's hard work for Tie Dan to come back from the school every day, and in addition to practicing calligraphy, he also has to teach me." ”

"It is said that teaching is mutually beneficial, and when I teach Brother Wen Tao, I am bound to learn a lot from it, which can be regarded as a great help to me." Tie Dan laughed.

"That's what happened." Shen Wenwu nodded, and did not forget to remind: "Let's patronize and talk, this couplet has only been written at this time, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will delay the Spring Festival couplet." ”

"Then hurry." Shen Wentao hurriedly smoothed the red paper and asked Tie Dan to carry a pen and write quickly.

After calming down, the couplet was written quickly, and it didn't take long to write several pairs.

Shen Wentao saw that there was not much left, so he went to the Lu family to ask for brushes and paste, called Shen Wenwu to help watch it, and began to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

When the dumplings on Shen Xiangmiao and Lu's side were wrapped and cleaned up, brand-new Spring Festival couplets were also pasted on the doors of this courtyard.

The red paper and black ink are bright in color, and the handwriting is very upright, which looks festive and comfortable.

"I'll just say, the couplets written by Tie Dan are not bad." Shen Xiangmiao washed her hands, looked at the upright words on the door, and praised with a smile.

"yes, we think it's good, too." Shen Wentao and Shen Wenwu, two brothers, after pasting a horizontal batch, nodded again and again, expressing their agreement with Shen Xiangmiao's words.

The two brothers have been busy working here for a while, and the Lu family and Shen Xiangmiao also felt sorry for the two of them, so they came out to greet the two of them with fried river strips, twist flowers, and hemp leaves: "Hurry up and take a break, come down and eat something." ”

"Well, hurry down, there's not much left, I'll post it." Shen Xiangmiao didn't untie her apron, rolled up her sleeves, and went to get the pasty brush.

"There are not a few left, the second aunt and Sister Xiangmiao don't get their hands dirty, let's come with our two brothers." Shen Wentao took the paste far away and said with a smile.

Shen Wenwu also helped on the side: "Yes, don't get your hands dirty, the second uncle and Sister Xiangmiao should start preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here, I am waiting to eat the dishes made by Sister Xiangmiao." ”

"Yes, I'll listen to you." Shen Xiangmiao looked at the two brothers' insistence, and responded with a smile: "The dishes for the evening are well prepared, so I promise to let you satisfy your hunger." ”

When the two brothers, Shen Wentao and Shen Wenwu, heard this, they immediately became happy and praised them again and again.

"So, can you order food?" Shen Wenwu asked.

Shen Wenwu has been in the town for a long time, although he can often eat the lo-mei and food made by Shen Xiangmiao on weekdays, but after eating for a long time, even if this lo-mei is extremely delicious, he always feels monotonous, and when he thinks of the delicacies made by Shen Xiangmiao in the past, he drools greedily.

It was easy to wait for the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Shen Wenwu naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

"You, Sister Xiangmiao's big table of dishes, it's hard enough, and you still add to the chaos?" Shen Wentao patted Shen Wenwu's head.

Such a large table of dishes, what kind of dishes are this, how to match, presumably Shen Xiangmiao already had a number in her heart a few days ago, and if she suddenly adds another dish at this time, it will be more troublesome.

And the dishes here are all in pairs, not singular, and one more dish is bound to make one more dish.

After Shen Wentao's reminder, Shen Wenwu immediately knew the inconvenience, touched his nose embarrassedly, and said, "But I was reckless." ”

"It's okay, but it's just multiple dishes, how can you do if you don't eat happy for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Shen Xiangmiao smiled: "Say, whatever you want to eat, but whatever there is in the house, I can cook it for you." ”

Shen Xiangmiao said so, Shen Wenwu was not pretentious anymore, and said embarrassedly: "Then I'm welcome, just order a saliva chicken, I have eaten it two or three times in the summer, and now it is difficult to eat it after I arrive in the town, and I have always remembered this taste." ”

As soon as Shen Xiangmiao heard this, she chuckled: "I know that you want this dish, don't worry, this dish is prepared in this dish, make the portion bigger, make sure you have enough." ”

Shen Wenwu also giggled when he heard this.

Being able to eat your favorite saliva chicken without making trouble for Shen Xiangmiao can be said to be the best of both worlds.

After pasting the Spring Festival, Shen Wentao, Shen Wenwu and Tie Dan ate melon seeds and snacks in the courtyard, and Shen Xiangmiao and Lü began to prepare the materials for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The three families plus Shen Shuntong and the Yang family, even the adults brought their children, except for Shen Jingqiu, who had not returned in the county seat, there were thirteen people, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was hearty, so Shen Xiangmiao planned to cook twenty dishes.

Cold dishes, hot dishes, stewed dishes, soup dishes, everything is indispensable, and finally the dumplings filled with lotus root and pork are the staple food, and the whole circle is complete.

The bean skin Ruyi roll, which has been made before, is still seasoned with sweet vinegar, which is delicious and very pleasing, and is very suitable as a side dish for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Spicy crystal pork skin jelly, with home-cooked pork skin to serve cold, refreshing and crispy, spicy and fragrant.

Ginger lotus root slices, with white sugar, salt, white vinegar, Sichuan pepper, sesame pepper and other prepared sauce, with blanched lotus root slices after ice soaked in, fragrant and refreshing, sweet and slightly spicy, suitable for all ages.

Preserved egg tofu, tender tofu and preserved egg cold salad, is also tender and delicious, in the past, Dr. Du was full of praise after eating, but now it is winter, the weather is cold, ordinary preserved eggs are extremely difficult to make, you need to warm the jar with a stove on weekdays to ensure the right temperature. Fortunately, Shen Xiangmiao's portable kitchen has a storage room that can adjust the temperature at any time, and it is very convenient to make preserved eggs at this time.

Saliva chicken, choose chicken thigh meat to do, the seasoning is as good as before, the taste is delicious, and on weekdays are used two chicken legs, today a Shen Xiangmiao specially used one more, with a larger size of the deep mouth plate to serve.

Chill mixed vegetables, with blanched diced celery, diced carrots, diced fungus, peanuts and shredded tofu, rich in content, light and refreshing.

Crispy fish, the crispy fish that can be chewed with fish bones at home, remove the fish head that cannot be eaten, neatly placed on the plate, and use a little coriander as a decoration, the appearance is good-looking, and the taste is not bad.

Red oil pig ears, using their own marinated pig ears, cut into thin almost transparent pig ears, take red oil to mix, Shen Shuntong likes to eat pig ears the most, this dish is naturally indispensable.
