After hurriedly eating lunch, Ziluo and the others continued to be busy making Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, stewing vegetables and steaming meat in one pot, and frying ribs and fish in the other pot, preparing to make sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish, sweet and sour fish.
Ziluo and the others used almost all the pots, plates, and dishes at home, and everyone was busy in the kitchen in the winter, sweating slightly, even Ziluo didn't stop, helping to light the fire and handing over the plates.
Ziluo felt that although she was very busy, she felt that this kind of busy work carried an indescribable fulfillment and joy.
When Zishu and their ancestors had already reached the end of the Shen Shi (around five o'clock in the afternoon), the sound of firecrackers in the village came one after another.
The meals at home were also prepared, and Zishu and Zixuan started eating after setting off firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard.
Because there are a lot of dishes tonight, one table is a little unbearable, and Ziluo and the others have put together another table on the pit. Eight meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, a full table, each dish under the guidance of Ziluo, Ziwei's careful stir-frying, can be described as colorful, fragrant, mouth-watering.
The chicken and mushroom stew are juicy, tender and delicious, and the chicken and mushrooms are stewed very deliciously, which is appetizing.
The button meat is made of pork belly, which is lean and fat, and it is not greasy to eat at all.
Sweet and sour pork ribs are fragrant and sweet, and even the chicken soup and pork rib soup are also very sweet and fragrant.
It's the first time I've eaten so many dishes at once!! even for happy events in the village. Zi Tao said excitedly while eating.
"If you have more vegetables, eat more, eat more vegetables, eat less. Zishu, Zixuan, Ah Luo and Xiaoliu are too. Ziwei said as she gave Ziluo and Xiaoliu dishes that they couldn't reach.
"Eldest sister, the sweet and sour fish you made is so delicious!" Xiao Liu had already picked up the third piece of sweet and sour fish.
"This sweet and sour fish and sweet and sour pork ribs are still from Aluo Protestantism, aren't they delicious?" Ziwei was also happy when she saw that everyone was eating deliciously.
"It's delicious, none of the dishes that Ah Luo learned from Grandpa Fairy are not delicious. Zixuan also boasted.
Ziluo also has a little bit of a weak heart when she listens to it, she has used this excuse countless times, every time she wants to come up with a new recipe or a new idea, she uses the fairy grandfather as an excuse, fortunately, everyone is convinced of it. Well, ideas are not afraid of the old, as long as they are useful.
"Ah Luo, Little Liu, eat chicken legs. Zishu sandwiched the two big chicken legs into the bowls of Ziluo and Xiaoliu respectively.
"Big brother is eccentric! Don't give us chicken legs. Zi Tao said deliberately.
Zishu heard this and was embarrassed: "Hehe, give." Zi Tao, Zi Xuan also eats. Zishu also sandwiched two large pieces of chicken breast for Zitao and Zixuan.
"The eldest sister also eats. Zishu saw that only Ziwei didn't greet him, so he hurriedly added.
When everyone saw it, they all laughed, but they didn't expect that the usually wise and steady big brother would also be so cute and confused.
Zishu saw everyone laughing, and quickly reacted, Zitao was joking with him just now, but he was not annoyed, he was also very happy to see everyone eating well.
"The guts are fat, and they dare to tease the eldest brother. Zishu replied with a smile.
Then Ziluo and the others laughed. Ziluo saw that the atmosphere of this reunion dinner was very good, and she couldn't help but be very interested, she picked up the soup bowl in front of her and said with a smile: "Come, let's touch a bowl." ”
"What is a clinking bowl?" everyone wondered.
"It's just that we all touch the bowls together and take a sip of the soup. This was supposed to be touched when drinking, but we could have replaced it with soup. Ziluo touched Zi Tao's soup bowl next door to her and showed it to everyone.
Although Zishu and the others didn't quite understand what Ziluo meant, when they saw Ziluo raise the soup bowl, they also picked up the chicken soup in front of them and touched it with Ziluo, and then took a sip.
"Why do you want to touch the bowl?" Although Zixuan felt that this seemed to be very lively, he was still very curious about it, and he also asked what everyone thought at this time.
"Grandpa Fairy said that this means to celebrate, and it is used to express everyone's joy on the major festival when everyone is happy and reunited, but no one of us here should do this. Ziluo continued to flicker.
"In this way, it is really lively to eat like this, so we should only do it at home during the holidays. Zishu said.
Ziluo's Chinese New Year's Eve meal was very lively, and it can be said that it was a staggered cup and beaming!!
Although Ziluo's life has improved a lot during this time, they are also very satisfied with this meal, and almost all of them have eaten.
Ziluo and their meals lasted for more than half an hour, and after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, twilight fell, Zishu and Zixuan hung the two red lanterns they had bought in front of the hall, and everyone began to take a bath and change into new clothes after resting for a while.
Zishu and Zixuan all wore new cotton clothes in azure color, but the styles were slightly different, Xiao Liu also wore a new cotton clothes in sky blue, and the three brothers were all new and radiant.
Ziwei changed into a new cotton dress in begonia color, Zitao's was rose-red, and Ziluo's was tender yellow. The clothes of their brothers and sisters can be said to have been designed and improved by Ziluo, and carefully sewn by Ziwei and Zitao.
After almost three months of gradual improvement in life, Ziluo and her brothers and sisters have been yellow and thin, malnourished, and unclothed when Ziluo first crossed over, but they are also dressed in tatters, and their families are surrounded by walls.
The first is their appearance, although Ziluo and her brothers and sisters are born with good conditions, and their brothers and sisters are not bad, but because of malnutrition, they looked like refugees before.
Now Ziluo and the others have grown taller, fatter and whiter, although they are still shorter and thinner than their peers.
Especially Zishu and Ziwei, the two big ones, have grown a lot taller, Ziluo conservatively estimates that Zishu has grown almost five centimeters taller, and now Zishu can also be said to be a young man.
In addition to the changes in their appearance, Ziluo's brother and sister's home is also neat and lively, and a lot of things have been added, at least there are living things other than people, more than seventy half-sized chickens, and more than half an acre of neat vegetable fields in the backyard. Let's just say that there is a lot more surplus food at home, and there are also a lot of dishes and chopsticks, not to mention others.
Ziluo took a bath, took care of her hair with the help of Ziwei, put on a new dress, Ziwei asked her to go to the hall first to chat with Zishu and them, cool her hair, and she made the stove bigger before going over.
Ziluo came out of the bathroom, saying that this bathroom is still a small space that Ziluo suggested that they hang a curtain on one side of the kitchen, although it is simple and small, but it is very warm to take a bath in it.
As soon as Ziluo walked into the yard, a light snow fell in the sky, Ziluo reached out to catch one, and it quickly melted in her hand. At this time, the sky was already completely dark, and the twilight was fourfold, giving people an inexplicable sense of sadness.
However, the bright light from the red lantern under the eaves, as well as Zi Xuan's laughter from Zi Luo's room, quickly diluted this sense of sadness and made everything warm!
"Ah Luo, hurry up and get inside, it's cold outside!" Zishu shouted.
"Okay, let's come in!"
When Ziluo came into the room, she found that the room was very warm and comfortable, the pit was burning very hot, and the house was also lit with silver charcoal sent by Jufangzhai, and two oil lamps were lit to illuminate the room brighter than usual.
Zi Shu: They are separating the melted frozen pears and various pastries on the pit.
"Ah Luo, where is the eldest sister?" Zi Tao saw that only Zi Luo came in, so she asked.
Because Ziluo was the last to take a bath, Ziwei stayed to help her get dressed, so Zi Tao saw Zi Luo come in, and Ziwei asked this question before she came in.
"The eldest sister is making a stove fire, and she will come in after a while. ”
"Here, Ah Luo eats some frozen pears to relieve oiliness. Zishu distributed the frozen pears on the plate one by one for everyone to eat.
Because he ate too much meat for dinner, he was still a little greasy, so Zishu took out frozen pears for the big guy to eat to relieve the greasy. At this time, Ziwei also came in, and Zishu also handed Ziwei one. So, the siblings sat on the warm pit, around the charcoal stove, eating and chatting.
Ziluo finished eating a frozen pear, and then saw that there were seven or eight kinds of snacks on the pit table, as well as peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks. It's rare for the eldest brother, the eldest sister took out so many snacks at once, so Ziluo was ready to have a delicious meal.
"Don't eat too many snacks at once, there will be dumplings to eat for a while, don't eat anymore, you won't be able to eat dumplings for a while. Zishu saw a few small ones eating happily, and couldn't help but remind him when he was happy.
"Oh... Although Ziluo and the others were reluctant, they also knew that what Zishu said was true, so they had to eat less and leave some stomach for a while to eat dumplings.
In Ziluo's laughter, it was soon time to make dumplings. Ziluo lit oil lamps, surrounded the kitchen, and everyone helped make dumplings together.
The pork bone soup used to cook the dumplings had already been boiled before, and Zishu and Zixuan only needed to increase the firewood to boil the soup.
When the pork bone broth boiled, Ziwei put the dumplings into the pot.
And Ziluo and Zitao are ready to fill the dumplings and eat the bowls and chopsticks, the dishes and chopsticks have been cleaned before, Ziluo and the others only need to take enough dishes and chopsticks.
After everything was ready, Ziluo and the others chatted around the fire and waited for the dumplings to come up.
"The dumplings floated up,!!," Zixuan said.
"Okay, let's bring the dumplings to the room and eat them. Ziwei instructed everyone to bring the dumplings to Ziluo's room, preparing to eat the dumplings while keeping the New Year.
