Unexpectedly, in the face of the Lin family, who suspended the marriage, the rumored villain did not react outside, thinking that he was willing to wait for a beautiful "talented concubine" with a good meal and not afraid of being late.

Lin Hemiao's matter eased for the time being, and the Qin family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, He Miao went to his grandmother's house in Hongjube Village with Lin Changxi and Zhao, and it seems that he is preparing to celebrate the New Year there this year.

And now, in a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.

As the saying goes, twenty-five, fried tofu; Twenty-six, stewed white meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights to stay up for one night......

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Rokuro carried the graphite out of the miscellaneous room, and worked with He Lin to grind it, and the wheat kept adding beans to the side.

Qin's face smiled for the first time in a long time, and he kept beckoning He Mai to add more water or less water, or else to ask Liulang and He Lin to sit down quickly and take a breath......

Qin's will be prepared with brine, put the ground soybean milk into the pot, boil over high heat and then let it cool before pouring the marinade.

This pouring brine is a science, and the brine must be slowly dripped into the spoon, not spilled, not more, not less.

Slowly turn the spoon in the pot, and after a while change the spoon, until the spoon can't be pushed in the pot, and it's almost done.

Wait for the marinade to be poured, cover the pot and wait for a while, pour the tofu into the sieve, cover it with a damp cloth, put something weighty on it, and wait for the water to be controlled, and it will be done.

When the tofu is ready, cut it with a knife and cut it into even pieces.

Then the tofu cube is dipped in salted egg liquid and flour, and fried in the pan, and when you pick it up, the steaming fried tofu is like gold, colored and flavorful.

A large pot of tofu was fried, and it was sent to the families with good personal friends from door to door, Niu Yongwang and Yonglian, and Lu Changming's family all received the fried tofu sent, and even the Tian Wu family received the fried tofu sent by He Lin.

Qin stood in the courtyard, and within a single stick of incense, he saw the three children who went out with a pot full of fried tofu coming back one by one empty-handed, with a smile on their faces.

The tofu banquet at noon was also made by the Qin family. A while ago, she was not feeling well, and her daily meals were brought by Hemai, and today she said that she would not let Hemai touch the stove.

Liulang smiled: "Didn't Xu Jiang bring a lot of marinated meat yesterday?" At noon, I asked my grandmother to cook two fewer dishes, steam more cured meat, and have fried tofu, which is already very hearty. ”

"That's it, there is meat and vegetables, this day is lived!" He Lin smiled, "Liulang, let's have two cups at noon!" ”

It was easy to see a smile on Qin's face, and the meal at noon was naturally very lively. Before eating, Liulang called Xu Jiang, who was alone at home, over.

Xu Jiang looked at the pot full of golden fried tofu and swallowed his saliva greedily.

"Grandma Lin, I won't tell you, I smelled the fragrance of this fried tofu in my house, and I still wonder whose fried tofu it is, so fragrant?"

"You kid, you live alone on weekdays, and you don't have anyone to take care of your food and clothing, why don't you just come over with Rokuro and them for what you want to eat? I'm older, but I'm not old enough to hold pots and pans! ”

Xu Jiang laughed a few times, "Grandma Lin doesn't bother me to always come to eat, but Liulang always hates me, saying that I eat too much and refuse to work, but where is there a place for men to go in the stove room?" Isn't that a woman's paradise? ”

Xu Jiang's two witty words made the whole table laugh, and He Mai shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Xu's words are good, but I know that you men are just greedy and unskillful, where are you sincerely letting us?" ”

Qin said with a smile: "Xu Lang left after middle age, how long will it take to come back?" Earlier, I was thinking that the three daughters of Liu Hua's family are at the age of marriage, and I want to match you! Why don't I talk to Liu Hua's family and ask them to come over in the next few days, and you two will look at each other? ”

Xu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly, "Grandma Lin is bothered!" But I'm a person, I'm used to living a free life, and if there are suddenly many women around me, I'm afraid that I won't feel comfortable all over, and I'll talk about it later! ”

Rokuro also laughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry about him!" He's got a lot of flowers! If he begs a daughter-in-law who is unlucky, and the cooking is not delicious, how can he find a way out to come out and rub the wheat to cook? ”

Xu Jiang pouted, "You are really a worm in my stomach, you know everything!" ”

Everyone laughed and talked about idle things at the dinner table, the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, and time passed unconsciously.

On the twenty-sixth to catch the big gathering, Liulang drove the carriage and wanted to pull the people at yesterday's dinner table to the town to catch the market, but the Qin family said that they would let the young people go and stayed at home alone.

He Mai and Liulang had no choice but to give up and tell the Qin family to be careful at home.

Also going to the town were the Shancao brothers and sisters, as well as Changxin in the village.

The Shancao brothers and sisters are sitting on the same donkey at home, and Changxin got on the ox cart driven by Rokuro on the way.

He Mai and Liulang helped Aunt Fang before, and I also heard Aunt Fang talk about her preparations to leave Xiaoqing Village after the New Year.

Yes, sitting in the same car, He Mai asked Changxin in a low voice: "Brother Changxin, is Aunt Fang okay?" Do those who threw things still come to the house? ”

Changxin glanced at her gratefully, "My mother is very good!" Since I came back a few days ago, there were a few more people who threw things at home, and I drove them to the entrance of the village and hit them with stones a few times, and they never came to break them again! Sister Hemai, thank you and Brother Liulang for taking care of my mother! ”

"Brother Changxin, don't be so polite, they all live in the same village, and you can't help Aunt Fang when she is in trouble, right?" Wheat.

There were many people in the car, and a few young people didn't take long to make the atmosphere lively.

Changxin and Helin are from the same academy, and Shanmu will enter their academy next year, so the three young people talked freely around the poems and songs, saying that in Xingtou, Shanmu directly drove the mountain grass off the donkey and called Changxin to come and sit.

Shancao couldn't wait for this, sat with Hemai, and talked about the things that his daughter's family liked, Shancao clenched his fists and said that he could buy two more red-headed ropes for a while, and he would be at home in the coming year. He Mai looked at the new cotton clothes on He Mai with envy, and said that her mother asked her to wear new clothes after the New Year, and she was not allowed to be blind when she went to the market now.

Xu Jiang watched the two girls talk, and couldn't interject, so he turned his head and said to Liulang, "Why doesn't anyone like to say something to eat?" Just say what poetry and songs, otherwise it's my daughter's household things, I don't like it either. ”

"You know how to eat!" Rokuro smiled and scolded without looking back.
