Chapter 174: I Love It All (50+ September Powder)
In the morning of deep winter, the mountain village of Tun has always been quiet and peaceful, but today is different, early in the morning, every family gets up early in the morning, men and children are walking around the house excitedly, and women are busy making a hearty dumpling and eating a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Chinese New Year's Eve, on this day, even the most difficult people in the usual days, the most picky housewives, will try their best to make a dumpling, this is the most anticipated moment of the year, this is the most anticipated moment of the year, this is the most anticipated moment of the year.
On this day, no matter how far away people are away, they will want to go home, no matter what worries people, they will put it down temporarily, guard their families and children, and eat a steaming dumpling, which is the happiest time for everyone.
The courtyard of Lian's house is also a busy and lively scene at this time.
Lian Qingshan took the big girl and the little tiger, and happily held the paste that Cui'er had made, and made concerted efforts to paste the Spring Festival couplets written by Cui'er's shopkeeper for money two days ago on the door.
"Daddy, what's written on this couplet?" The big girl flashed her big eyes, looking at the thick and colorful handwriting on the red paper, but she didn't know a few, and asked while pulling Lian Qingshan's clothes.
"This upper link is, people and families are prosperous, and the lower link is, the year is safe and blessed!" Lian Qingshan looked at the couplet mentioned by the money shopkeeper, although he didn't know anything about Pingqian escort and the like, but it was a person and a family, and it was safe and blessed, and his heart was very open when he looked at it, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed very interested.
"Wow, what does that mean?" After listening to Lian Qingshan's recitation of the couplet, Xiaohu pounced on Lian Qingshan's thigh with a look of fascination, and couldn't help but shout, obviously because others didn't understand the meaning of the couplet, and he was a little anxious.
"Haha, don't worry, Xiaohu, Dad will tell you about this couplet!" Lian Qingshan looked at Xiaohu's impatient look. Haha laughed, picked up the little tiger and sat on his neck, holding his calf with one hand, and pointing to the couplet at the door with the other. Word by word, it was explained.
"This harmony means that our whole family is in harmony, we don't quarrel or get angry, and we have a good relationship with others. For example, didn't we build a new house, buy cows, and make a lot of delicious snacks? These things are going well, so call Jiashun ......" Lian Qingshan's voice was very loud, and Rao was standing at the gate of the courtyard. Cui'er in the room could also hear what he said clearly.
"Harmony, family shun, peace and ......" Cui'er muttered these words in her mouth, feeling that every word was in line with her own thoughts, and even Qingshan's loud and neat voice came into Cui'er's ears, although the words used were so ordinary and ordinary, but the truth and feelings contained in it. made Cui'er's heart warm.
Cui'er listened to what Lian Qingshan said, her hand gently mixed the dough, and the smile on her face never broke. After Lian Qingshan finished explaining the couplet, and accompanied the big girl and Xiaohu to play in the yard with a reunion, Cui'er reluctantly put the reconciled dough on the kang head and woke up, and walked to the kitchen to chop the dumplings and filling.
Cui'er had melted the meat, chicken, and fish she was going to use last night, and now the meat had melted completely. Tidy up a little in the basin and use it for food. One of the large pieces of front groove meat can be cut to chop the dumpling filling, a large piece of tenderloin is best used to make meat segments, and a large piece of the back mound, the lean part can be taken out to fry a dish, and the fat and thin part is also used to chop the filling to make meatballs.
Cui'er's heart is full of today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Cui'er's heart is a consolation for the hard work of the past year, and also a yearning for a better life in the coming year, no matter what happened in this year, happy or lost. When eating Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to open your heart and eat happily.
Because of the importance of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Cui'er has become more and more attentive to the preparation of this meal, the fish bought early, the chicken killed two days ago and the pork left by the pig killed, these will become delicious on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
There are a lot of things to make for this meal, and it takes a lot of time and effort, but when she thinks of the smiles on the faces of the children and Lian Qingshan when she eats later, Cui'er feels that these are nothing.
Cui'er cut the tenderloin into small strips that were half a finger long and the thickness of the little finger, and then salted the meat with salt, soy sauce, green onions, and ginger slices.
The meat used in the meat section was marinated, and Cui'er turned her eyes to the Houqiu, the Houqiu meat was fast and tight, and the quality was complete, but Cui'er didn't love it very much, and always felt that the Houqiu meat was not delicious, and sent away some of the meat when she sent it out, but she also left some to eat.
Cui'er cut the Houqiu meat into big slices, and when she was about to cut it into small dices, she looked at the half-finger-thick bright red meat slices and moved in her heart, and hurriedly cut a few more pure and thin slices and threw them in the small basin where she had marinated the tenderloin just now.
Cui'er cut a large piece of Houqiu meat in her hand, as well as the prepared front groove meat, into thin pieces, divided into a basin and put it aside, these pieces of meat are ready to take a while to chop dumpling stuffing and make meatballs, Cui'er listened to the laughter outside, her heart was happy, and she didn't want to use the sound of chopping dumpling filling to destroy this beauty.
After tidying up the pork, Cui'er fished out the old hen that had been slaughtered by Lian Qingshan and had shed her hair from the basin, and neatly removed the chicken wings, chicken legs and chicken breasts in the chicken, and then chopped the whole chicken body into small pieces and small pieces, and made a chicken stew with mushrooms later.
After the chicken is chopped open, it is thrown into the basin by Cui'er to soak, and if it is washed a few more times later, it can greatly reduce the blood foam when stewing later.
As for the carp that I bought a long time ago, because the scales have been scraped and the internal organs have been removed before freezing, this thawing only needs to clean the fish inside and out, and then use a knife to cut out the mouth for flavor, and then use salt to stew in the pot, which is very convenient.
After cleaning up all the meat, Cui'er took out all the dried beans, dried eggplants, dried fungus, dried mushrooms and the like that she had dried in the autumn, took a suitable amount and soaked them in a pot, and fished out three or four sauerkrauts. Prepare to chop into stuffed dumplings later, which is considered to have all the ingredients ready.
Seeing that it was not too early, Cui'er was ready to chop the stuffing, and took a kitchen knife from the cupboard and came out. Coupled with the one that was originally placed on the board, there is a kitchen knife in each hand, and the speed of chopping the dumpling filling is faster. Just as Cui'er put the pieces of meat on the board and was about to start chopping the dumpling filling, Lian Qingshan walked in from outside with a cold air.
"Cui'er, let's make dumplings today?" Even Qingshan's face was red from the cold wind outside, but it didn't affect his good mood at all.
"Of course you have to eat dumplings for the New Year, is it cold outside? Couplets pasted? Cui'er saw that Lian Qingshan's face was red, although she knew that he was happy in her heart, but she also knew that the temperature outside was very low. Quite distressed, he said, "I've been out for so long on a cold day, and the children have all come in, right?" Hurry up and bake the fire, don't freeze your body. ”
"Hey! The children were all in the house, and they were eating snacks by themselves. Lian Qingshan heard Cui'er say this. As soon as my heart was warm, I was afraid that the cool air on my body would freeze Cui'er, so I didn't go in the direction of Cui'er, but dried my clothes on the edge of the stove pit to remove the cold on my clothes.
When the cool air on Lian Qingshan's body dissipated, he immediately got up and walked to Cui'er's side, and wrapped his head around Cui'er's already thick waist from behind. whispered softly beside Cui'er's ear, "Cui'er, come, I'll help you chop the stuffing, don't be tired for the New Year." ”
"Don't make a fuss!" Cui'er only felt a tingling sensation spread through her whole body from her ears, and it felt like an electric shock. made her feel soft from the bottom of her heart, and she was busy breaking free of Lian Qingshan's embrace, gently patting her chest with her hand, and panting busily.
"Hehe......" looked at Cui'er's little daughter's attitude, and even Qingshan was not annoyed. With a smile, he picked up the two knives that Cui'er had just put on the board and carefully chopped up the meat filling.
Lian Qingshan's hand is strong, the action is neat, chopping up the meat filling is very effective with half the effort, and after a while, the meat filling is chopped, seeing that Cui'er has cut the sauerkraut used to make dumplings, then he smiled and found a stone pestle and a stone mortar, ready to pound garlic to make garlic sauce, and then dip it in the dumplings to eat.
"Qingshan, let's eat for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, what do you want to eat?" Cui'er asked Lian Qingshan while mixing the dumpling filling.
The food that the children in the family like, Cui'er had already made it on the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, and it was refrigerated on the kitchen windowsill, and she only needed to go back to the pot to eat, but even Qingshan hadn't ordered yet, so Cui'er asked.
Lian Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, how many years have passed, this is the first time he has been asked what he likes to eat in so many years, and what makes Lian Qingshan a little stunned is that he can't remember what he likes to eat at all.
Even Qingshan is a bitter baby when he is a child, the family is poor, although it is not so that he can't open the pot, but it is only a stage of maintaining food and clothing, and he can't do what he wants to eat, at that time, his mother will also ask him what he likes to eat, and most of his answers will be meat, thinking that meat is a rare thing, and he can only eat a meal during the New Year's Festival, and there is a younger brother at home, and the amount of meat he can eat as an elder brother is pitiful.
Later, when he was pulled to the battlefield, as a recruit who had never experienced blood, in the place where he was killed every day, it was already a great luck to have his life to live and have something to eat.
Later, when he became the general's personal guard, it was naturally based on the general's preferences, and no one would care about the preferences of such a person as him...... Later, when the general had an accident, Lian Qingshan fled thousands of miles with the general's wife, so naturally he didn't care about what he liked to eat, as long as he could hold the lives of a few people.
Lian Qingshan summed up for a long time, in his barren memory, there was nothing that could be called a favorite food, looking down at Cui'er's concerned gaze, Lian Qingshan's heart warmed, and he blurted out, "I'm not a picky eater, I love to eat what you make!" ”
