Chapter 509: Chinese New Year's Eve
In recent years, the Du family's life has become prosperous, so the annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly rich.
In recent years, Du Yuniang has been cooking, and she has made ten dishes every year, which means perfect.
This year is no exception.
Peacock Kaiping, Sixi Meatballs, Squirrel Guiyu, Flower Blossom Fugui, Braised Pork, Sauce Elbow, Eight Treasures Stewed Ginseng Chicken, Slip Three, in addition, I also made scrambled eggs with leeks, vinegared bean sprouts.
Ten dishes, more meat dishes, less vegetarian dishes. Although the life of the Du family is much stronger than before, and good things do not necessarily have to be kept for the New Year, people are still used to making a big table of delicious food on the New Year's Day, as if only in this way can this New Year have a good time.
Even Du Ansheng said that he also eats meatballs, but I don't know why, the meatballs eaten on the New Year's Day are the most delicious.
This sounds ridiculous, the same ingredients, the same production method, but why does it taste different!? But if you think about it, you can see that there is some truth in this, because it is because of the different moods that the taste of the food is also different.
After worshipping their ancestors, the family sat around and had a lively reunion dinner. The Du family does not have the rule of not saying anything when eating or sleeping, so the dinner table is very lively.
Du Ankang has never said much, but tonight he said a lot, mainly to thank his sister Du Yuniang. If it weren't for her, I might still be living a messy life, and I might have no other ideas and ways out except farming. But after learning the craft with his sister, his mentality has changed a lot, he feels that he is the eldest son in this family, and he has to take care of his parents and brothers!
Of course, Du Ankang would like to thank Du Yuniang for taking care of Tian and the two children, Tian's pregnancy is hard, but Du Yuniang is not hard.
Speaking of this, Tian Shi was also grateful, "Yu Niang, sister-in-law is thin-skinned and has never said anything to thank you." But today I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in front of my grandmother, my father, my mother, my little aunt and your eldest brother. Tian said as he solemnly supported his waist and got up, and bowed to Du Yuniang like this.
Du Yuniang knew that Tian was a stuffy person, and he was happy to do things, but he didn't like to talk much. Today, Tian's sudden arrival of such a hand really caught her off guard.
Du Yuniang smiled bitterly, she was sandwiched between Rujin and Du Xiaozhi, and she couldn't hide when she got up, so she could only accept Tian's worship.
"Sister-in-law~" Du Yuniang said helplessly: "You are still pregnant!" She got up quickly, hurriedly went over to help Tian, and said, "You are tormenting me." ”
Li said: "Yu Niang, you and Zhao Di are the same generation, you can afford this gift." ”
Du Yuniang only said: "Okay, it's all a family, don't say these words." She helped Tian sit down and said, "You are so polite, I don't know what to do!" This is still my sister-in-law! ”
Tian is also a little embarrassed, in fact, her gratitude to Du Yuniang is far from being expressed in a few words and a bow! Originally, she also knew that emotional matters had to be trickled and long-lasting, especially the relationship between sisters-in-law like them, no matter how beautiful they were, it was better to see the truth in things.
But Tian also heard from his man that his grandmother wanted to do Yu Niang's family affairs this year, so that Yu Niang would have less time to stay at home. And what about her, not to mention that she is pregnant, when Yuniang gets married, it is estimated that she should also give birth, and she can't help anything.
Seriously, her mother-in-law's family doesn't value her, but if you really talk about gratitude, Du Yuniang must be ranked first. Needless to say, let's just talk about this Du family noodle restaurant, and it will be handed over to your own man to take care of in the future, what a lot of trust and support this is!
"Yu Niang, I am, it's just too ......" I want to express my gratitude to her.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I know everything."
Du Ansheng said on the side: "Eldest sister, sister-in-law is reluctant to give you back, I'm afraid that you will get married and there will be no way to repay you." ”
I have to say that Du Ansheng pointed out the key to the problem at once.
Tian nodded, she did have this thought, but Du Yuniang was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic.
Du Xiaozhi looked at the scene in front of him with envy, this is the real family! The atmosphere is lively, everyone gets along with each other with heart for heart, where are there any contradictions? Naturally, the days are getting better and better day by day!
It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is incompatible, and the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is even more difficult to get along with, but if everyone can put themselves in the shoes of others, then what contradictions are there in the family?
It's a pity that my mother doesn't understand this truth, and my eldest brother doesn't understand it either.
The family ate happily, Du Xiaozhi was deeply infected, and his mood slowly improved. Although her surname is Du, she is not a person in the big house after all, and there is no reason for people to laugh and laugh, she is here to calm her face and think about sad things, so she is too ignorant.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was over, the sky was getting darker and darker, and sporadic firecrackers sounded in the small village. The price of firecrackers is not cheap, and the villagers will only buy some during the New Year's festival and when there is a happy event in the family, which should be the occasion. Firecrackers are the boys' favorite, Du Ansheng also likes to set off firecrackers every year, but in the past two years, he has been much lighter about this kind of thing, and that kind of joy and excitement seem to have become the way he remembers, far less than a good book and a notebook that fascinates him.
Perhaps, this is a sign of growth!
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it's time to start making dumplings! If the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is the most important meal of the year, then the dumplings eaten during the New Year's Eve are the most important.
In previous years, the dumplings eaten at home, except for the cabbage and pork filling, were filled with sauerkraut pork, or they were filled with radish and meat residues, which had no new ideas. But this year, with the fresh vegetables sent by the Qian family, the dumpling filling has become richer.
There are leek meat foam and leek eggs, but Du Yuniang still wrapped cabbage and pork filling. In Lee's words, it is the dumplings filled with cabbage and pork that are particularly fragrant, and nothing can replace the taste.
Du Yuniang thought, maybe that's a feeling!
Making dumplings is a very heavy job, and every time at this time, the women of the Du family have to go into battle. This year, there is also a main force of rolling skins - Du Ankang.
Du Ankang was in charge of rolling the skin, and the others were in charge of wrapping, and the kang table was soon filled with white and fat dumplings.
Tian is pregnant, and she is already drowsy at this time. It's like a brocade! In Du Yuniang's words, she is a white rice eater, and there seems to be no other use except for being able to teach her a few tricks.
Li's, Liu's, these are all people who have made dumplings for most of their lives, not to mention Du Yuniang, cooking skills are originally her strength. And Du Xiaozhi and Du Xiaowan, the two young ladies, helped the family work when they were young, and making dumplings was a job without skills for them.
