After finishing the grave on his grandfather's side, Li Xiaofan drove back with his father and mother, because he had to cook a reunion dinner tonight, so he didn't stay with his grandfather and them longer.

At noon, my grandfather had already eaten something at their side, and they had been talking for a year, so they had to come back at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to cook, and everyone would join us for the New Year.

Li Xiaofan returned home and saw Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao playing with artillery, which was a lot of fun.

Li Xiaofan couldn't help but smile when he looked at the two of them, because he also remembered when he was young. When I was young, I also liked to play artillery, but I gradually got older, so I didn't play much, and the family was not as rich as it is now, so I wouldn't say that I bought artillery for myself every year, and his uncle bought them for him.

So that's why he used to like to play with his uncle, because his uncle wanted to buy him these things, and his parents wouldn't spend this money to buy these things for themselves.

Back home, Li Xiaofan's father and mother did not rest. The father went directly to the stove to start the fire, and the mother began to prepare for cooking, and Li Xiaofan, Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao The three of them were not idle, Li Xiaofan was directly called by his mother to wash the vegetables, and Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao were also constantly helping out.

There are actually a lot of dishes to prepare for the New Year's dinner at home.

This is what Li Xiaofan had prepared years ago, there are beef, chicken, and fish, and as for chicken and fish, this is not to mention.

The chicken is a home-raised chicken, which is fed by his mother, and the leaves are all home-grown vegetables, so the chicken tastes very good.

The last time I killed a chicken, everyone ate it very well after trying the taste, but Li Xiaofan's chickens didn't mean that they were fed hundreds, so everyone was embarrassed to speak, and since everyone was embarrassed to speak, Li Xiaofan didn't take the initiative to give it to them.

This chicken was killed by his father when they went to town this morning.

Because his own chicken is very flexible after eating the vegetables he grows, so this morning, his father basically fought with this chicken, and it took a lot of time to catch this chicken, so it is said that it took a chicken to get out in one morning.

As for the fish, it is needless to say, these fish are the fish in their own fish pond, and yesterday Li Xiaofan asked Wang Xiaojiang to help get a few fish, and by the way, he also sent some fish to Wang Xiaojiang and Wang Xiao.

So after Li Xiaofan finished washing the dishes, his mother instructed him to take care of the fish.

Fortunately, the fish that Wang Xiaojiang fished for him belonged to the kind of fish that did not have fish scales, so he only needed to open his intestines and stomach, and then get what he needed, otherwise, Li Xiaofan would have to scrape off the scales on the fish first, and then disembowel, in that case, it would be very troublesome.

Because this fish has no scales, Li Xiaofan first knocked it unconscious with a stick, then took out a knife, cut its belly with a knife, took out all the internal organs, rinsed it with water, and threw away the unwanted things, then washed the fish, and then took it in.

This time his mother was going to let him cook fish, because the fish made by Li Xiaofan was actually quite delicious, which may also be because the children of poor families were in charge of the family early, so they would also be able to cook these things for food, and Li Xiaofan's cooking was quite delicious.

Fortunately, there are several pots on the stove of their house, and the last time they were repairing, Li Xiaofan and they proposed to have a large pot and a small pot, and at the same time, they also specially repaired the gas stove.

However, Li Xiaofan and the others do not have natural gas here, they can only use the kind of natural gas that can be bottled.

This kind of canned natural gas is also used at the farmhouse, which is also what Li Xiaofan helped him contact through Yang Lin. Otherwise, he really doesn't have this channel, and the natural gas delivery is basically delivered once a week, and then more than 30 cans are delivered each time.

Because if you send too little, it will not be enough at all, and the farmhouse uses more natural gas, basically using four or five cans of natural gas every day, and even seven or eight cans of natural gas every day.

On their own side, fortunately, Li Xiaofan asked them to bring him a few cans of natural gas the day before yesterday, otherwise, it would be really difficult to get it.

Li Xiaofan carried the fish in, put the fish on the cutting board, chopped the fish into small pieces, and then stored the fish in a basin, and put all kinds of spices to start marinating the fish.

The pickling process takes about 10 minutes, and Li Xiaofan began to put oil in another pot, and then put in the fish seasoning he bought.

Because I don't particularly like spicy food, I bought the fish seasoning of sauerkraut fish, and the family also liked this taste.

After putting the sauerkraut in the pot and frying it for a while, he began to pour in the water and boiled it with water, and the fish over there was also marinated for nearly 10 minutes, Li Xiaofan began to put the fish in slowly, and then after cooking for a minute or two, he took a shovel and turned the fish over, and this amplitude was a small turn.

If the amplitude of the flip is too large, it is easy to cause the fish to be turned over, so the amplitude of the flipping is very small, and it is necessary to prevent the fish from being turned over, so it is very careful to turn it.

After boiling the fish again, the local chicken stewed by Li Xiaofan's mother is now stewed, and now it is the time to use it to make cold chicken, which is not particularly soft or hard, just right.

But Li Xiaofan's knife skills are not good, he is still very stable in the taste of cold salads, but if he really wants to test his knife skills, he really can't do it, the chickens he slaughtered with kitchen knives may be big and small, and they don't look particularly beautiful, so this matter was handed over to his father to do.

In the past, when he was a child, all the cold chicken made in the family was made by his father, but he didn't know how to make it, so he used to just watch and learn from the sidelines, and when he was cold dressed, his mother mixed it, because he didn't know how to do it before. But later, after seeing other people's cold salad outside, I gradually learned how to make cold salad, so now I basically make cold chicken at home.

No, after Li Xiaofan's father slaughtered the cold chicken, Li Xiaofan began to go over and take a slightly larger basin, pour all the chicken into it, and then put chili, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, and a spoonful of chicken broth, and then began to stir it, adding some shredded green onions and garlic, the whole taste is very good.

When this pot of chicken was mixed, Li Xiaofan's saliva felt like it was about to flow down, and Xuan Ling and Xuan Bao, who were watching from the side, were also dumbfounded, and at the same time, they were looking at Li Xiaofan directly, holding the pot of chicken in their hands.

Then, after putting the pot of chicken aside, he began to mix the pork cold. You must know that pig ears are to be eaten at the New Year's dinner, and the pig's tail must be eaten together, which symbolizes a head and a tail, a head and a tail.

Therefore, Li Xiaofan began to watch his father cut the pig's ears and tails again, because his knife skills are indeed not very good, so it is better to hand them all over to his father, and then make the taste himself.

After a while, Li Xiaofan finished the dish again.

Li Xiaofan instructed Xuanbao to take out the beef in the refrigerator, and the braised beef in the refrigerator was also bought when he was in the market last time, but he didn't say that he prepared some for the villagers, but bought it himself and threw it in his car and pulled it back.

However, I bought a lot at that time, so Wang Xiao also took some for him.

After Xuanbao took out the braised beef, and then Li Xiaofan's father began to cut the beef, and the beef cut out by Li Xiaofan's father was basically very uniform in every slice, not to say that this piece of beef is thick, that piece of beef is thin, basically it feels like it is completely thin.

When Li Xiaofan's father cut the beef, Xuanbao and Xuanling couldn't help it, and then reached out and grabbed the beef and put it in their mouths, and made an aftertaste, making Li Xiaofan and his father and mother smile.

Just when Li Xiaofan and the others were cooking, Wang Xiao came.

Wang Xiao entered the kitchen of his house and saw that their family was cooking, and then he stepped forward and said that he wanted to help, and when he saw the delicious food placed there, he couldn't help but walk over and reach out to pick it up, put it in his mouth and eat it, and couldn't stop admiring while eating.

Li Xiaofan, who watched it, rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that such a big person, how could he still be like a child. But although he thought so in his heart, his hands did not stop, and he was also grabbing and stuffing it into his mouth.

After finishing all the delicious food here, Li Xiaofan aimed his eyes at the pig's head, you must know that there are two lumps of meat in the pig's head that are the most delicious, that is, the walnut meat in the pig's head, why is it called walnut meat? It's because the two lumps of meat are the softest part of the pig's mouth.

Li Xiaofan went to take out these two lumps of meat, and then instructed Xuan Ling to take them to his grandfather's side, and then the other lumps were quickly divided by them.

In this way, after about two or three hours, the reunion dinner was ready. It was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually getting dark, so Li Xiaofan beckoned Xuanbao and Xuanlin to start placing all the dishes on the table in the living room together.

And Wang Xiao had already left before, and Wang Xiao's family was going to have a reunion dinner today, so he didn't stay with Li Xiaofan for long.

When the dishes were ready, Li Xiaofan asked Xuan Ling to call his grandfather out for dinner.

Today's is the New Year's dinner, so everyone must abide by the rules, and everyone is not allowed to move chopsticks before the oldest one comes.

And Xuanbao also knew about it, so before his grandfather came, he also resisted his desire to eat and didn't move his chopsticks.

When Grandpa served the table, he picked up the chopsticks, then took a piece of chicken and ate it in his mouth, and the others began to move their chopsticks when they saw this.

The family began to eat the reunion dinner like this, the whole atmosphere was happy, after everyone ate the meal, Li Xiaofan and his grandfather, as well as his father, wanted to drink a little wine, and the other three of them drank drinks, but everyone said their own blessings.
