"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to take credit, these dishes are all thought up by Xiaocao." Liu looked at his daughter proudly and gave her a chopstick vermicelli. My daughter has a way to make such delicious noodles with sweet potato flour. As a bonus, the girl eats more!

The portion of New Year's dishes is a lot, and Zhang's eats delicious dishes, and he doesn't say anything unpleasant about Liu's behavior of picking vegetables for his children. I thought it would be a year of deduction and search, but I didn't expect that such simple ingredients could also make a hearty New Year's dish.

Li Shi took a big bite of the vegetables in his mouth, and said, "Xiaocao came up with it? At home, she has this leisure to eat. ”

Yu Xiaocao glared at Li: This fat woman doesn't have a good word in her mouth, she seems to be gluttonous, and she is all about eating!!

"If you can't speak, you won't be able to say a word, and you won't be able to stop your mouth if you eat!" Yu Dashan noticed the displeasure of his second brother and hurriedly reprimanded his mother-in-law.

Zhao, who rarely sat down with the Yu family, put a few small plates in front of him, and the dishes in them were the same as everyone else. Zhang knew that the little daughter-in-law was particular about eating, and she didn't like to eat a dish with the big guys, but specially prepared it for their mother and son.

Xiao Doudou tried hard to suck a vermicelli into his mouth, chewed with a smile, and gave Xiaocao a big smile: "The second sister's cooking is the best!" Beanie loves this long thing, it's delicious! ”

"This is vermicelli! We Doudou like it, before you go back to town, the second sister will make more for you! "Yu Xiaocao has always had little resistance to cute children. Although making vermicelli is a bit laborious, it can be improved by a variety of dishes, which is also good.

"Yes, yes! This year's sweet potato yield is high, and the potato flour is enough to eat until the autumn harvest, so make more vermicelli, and you can also have more dishes in winter! This bean sprout stewed vermicelli tastes really good! Li took a mouthful of the oil on the chopsticks with his mouth, rummaged through the home-cooked food a few times, found a piece of fatty meat, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sunspot sitting next to her stood up even more, wiped a handful of snot with her black sleeves, and turned her chopsticks over in the vegetable basin, never giving up until she found a piece of meat.

Looking at the way the two of them were buried, no matter how delicious the home-cooked food was, Yu Xiaocao would never move the second chopsticks. She guarded the dried bean sprouts in front of her, and ate bitterly, and if she looked at the two of them again, she was about to vomit.

Dry-fried bean sprouts are made from bean sprouts that have just grown one or two centimeters. Heat the lard in a hot pan, add the dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the bean sprouts, add condiments, and stir-fry with some green garlic. The fresh fragrance of the bean sprouts, coupled with the meat oil as the base, the taste will naturally not be bad.

Li's mother and son looked too ugly, and the first to speak was Zhang: "You pick and pick up, how can others eat?" If you do this again, go back to your house and eat, and don't be here to deal with anyone! ”

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of his little daughter-in-law. It turned out that Zhang, who had always paid attention to his daughter-in-law's mother and son, found that Zhao glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law with disgust from time to time. Only then did she speak out to stop the Li mother and son.

Seeing that the meat in the home-cooked food had been almost eaten, Li stopped rummaging through the chopsticks when he heard the words, but he still devoured the food when he ate it, as if someone was robbing her.

The lunch of the Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in this little episode. At this meal, Zhang's did not limit the amount of food, even if the staple food was still coarse flour cakes, the family was still very satisfied. The main thing is that the dishes are more sumptuous than in previous years.

After the meal, Zhang was distressed that the food was falling quickly, and his mouth kept muttering. It wasn't until Lao Yutou scolded her for "not stopping during the New Year" that she drooped her face and stopped thinking about it.

On New Year's Eve, I want to eat dumplings, and the Yu family didn't buy much meat, even if it was mixed with a lot of cabbage when chopping the stuffing, it couldn't let everyone eat it full.

The Yu family's dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork, as well as filled with cabbage oil residue. On the thirtieth night, the men were given twenty dumplings each, the women were only ten, and the children were half the women.

Five small dumplings, even the three-year-old Xiaodoudou can't eat enough, let alone Yu Xiaocao? After Yu Heizi finished eating his own, he felt that it was not enjoyable, so he grabbed one while the small stone was not paying attention and quickly filled it into his mouth. Regardless of Xiaoshi's anger, he screamed angrily, and approached Yu Xiaocao and Xiaolian sisters.

Yu Xiaocao obediently pulled the Xiaolian sisters and brothers, ran to their father's table, and stayed next to their father. With the old man Yu Tou and his own father in town, Yu Heizi naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to lick his face and ask his mother to ask for dumplings to eat.

Li's gluttonous mother-in-law was reluctant to share her own dumplings for her children, so she begged her mother-in-law shamelessly: "Mother, you see that the sunspots are half the size, and the amount of food can be as big as an adult." Five dumplings were not enough for him to stuff between his teeth. Mother, the daughter-in-law doesn't ask for a man's amount to be given to him, so she will make up five more for him, just like us! ”

Zhang raised his eyelids, looked at Liu, and said nonchalantly: "If you can guarantee that no one will say that I am biased, and I will celebrate the New Year, my mother will not be reluctant to accept these five dumplings." ”

Liu Shi has never liked to fight with others, so she responded in a low voice: "Kuroko is a half-sized young man, who can say anything if there are five more dumplings?" It's just that the younger siblings are not authentic. ”

"What a child knows, why should a younger sibling be like a child? Mother, I'm going to send the dumplings to Kuroko. "Not only did the Li family not educate their son, but they also thought that the Liu family was troublesome. Alas, what kind of mother there is, what kind of child!

Liu Shi silently went out of the kitchen, allocated four of the ten dumplings he had allocated to his younger son, and prepared the remaining six for each of the two daughters.

Yu Xiaocao covered his bowl and said, "Mother, I have a small amount of rice, five dumplings are enough!" If you give us all the dumplings, you'll be hungry at night. You just gave me this dumpling, how can I eat it? ”

Xiaolian also echoed: "Mother, it's rare for you to eat dumplings once a year." After a busy afternoon, I can't taste a bite of the dumplings I wrapped, do you think we can still eat them as children? ”

"Mother, the dumplings will be returned to you, I don't want them!" Xiao Shi hurriedly dialed back the dumplings in the bowl.

"Eat! My mother ate too much at noon, and she is not hungry now! Liu said as he picked up the dumplings and put them in the children's bowls.

The four mothers were pushing back and forth here, Yu Hai came out with his dumplings, and when he saw this scene, he was sad and moved. In the end, he made the decision and divided the dumplings in the second room into eight in the afternoon, eight for each child, and ten for him and the child's mother.

"You are a big man, where can ten dumplings go? I'm used to eating thin food at night, and I have an upset stomach after eating too many dumplings. Come, I'll give you a few more, and I'll drink more dumpling soup in a while......" Liu felt sorry for the man and was reluctant to eat the dumplings he shared.

"Just ten dumplings, how can you eat too much? Hurry up and eat it, it's going to be cold! Yu Hai took the bowl into the kitchen, asked Zhang to scoop a full bowl of dumpling soup, and drank it with a snort. Drink a bowl of soup first, prop up your stomach, and then eat the dumplings, and you will be soft and full.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the village knew Zhang's temper, but few children came to pay New Year's greetings. Except for the eldest grandfather, Zhao Orion and a few people who are closer, the second room of the Yu family has no face to take the children to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

Yu Xiaocao's sisters and brothers did not receive the red envelope in the hands of their grandmother, but the grandfather gave them two copper plates as New Year's money. When she arrived at Zhao's house, the lady of the Zhao family was very particular about using her own embroidered purse to fill about one penny of silver peanuts and distribute them to each child.

Yu Xiaolian looked at the embroidery on the purse and liked it very much. The lady of the Zhao family saw that her face was full of envy, so she should teach her the errand of embroidery.

On the way back from the family, Liu whispered to his man: "The Zhao family's sister-in-law's style is not from our ordinary family. You see, not to mention the village, even the ordinary families in the town will not pay attention to the New Year's money to their children with their purses. ”

"Not only the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, but also the skills of Uncle Zhao and Brother Bufan, are not what ordinary Orion families can have. Uncle Zhao's family lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and there must be hidden secrets. However, this is not what we should be looking into. How we should move around, how we should move around, we don't have to do it deliberately. ”

Yu Hai has long been aware that the Zhao family, whether it is eating and living, or making gestures, unconsciously always reveals the style of a large family. The men of the Zhao family all exude neatness and majesty among the ranks. In the later period of the previous dynasty, the court was absurd and unreasonable, and many people with lofty ideals in the court went into hiding, and the Zhao family may be one of them.

As the days passed, this winter was destined to be a disaster year. During the first month, the snow barely stops. Many families with insufficient food reserves are fortunate to eat only one meal a day, and they do not starve to death.

However, there are not a few people who freeze to death and starve to death due to successive heavy snowfalls. What's more, none of the family was spared. Even in the city, there is a phenomenon of starvation......

Fortunately, in Dongshan Village, except for a few frail and elderly people who failed to survive the cold winter, there was no phenomenon of a large number of people dying of hunger and freezing to death. However, the situation in the village is not optimistic.

At this time, Zhang's extremely regretful that he had slammed the door a few years ago and did not let the second child buy more food. The millet at home has long since bottomed out, and the only thing that can satisfy hunger is the sweet potatoes in the cellar and the sweet potato chips that can be ground into sweet potato flour.

Every day, in addition to sweet potato porridge, it is also a sweet potato nest, and sometimes it is a change of tricks, and it is also dried sweet potatoes that are directly boiled into porridge. The elderly have a bad stomach, and eating sweet potatoes every day will cause heartburn. But if you don't eat it, you're in danger of starvation. Yu Xiaocao can only use the only herbs, combined with spiritual stone water, to nourish the stomach and intestines for his family.

Heavy snowfall in succession blocked the road. The grain in the town is also facing a crisis because of scheduling problems, and the price of grain remains even higher. White rice and white noodles are fried to the same price as meat!
