Chapter 35 Buying New Year's Goods 2
Waiting for the two cheap sons to come back and take what they were holding.
Meng Ran went to the butcher shop again and bought a pig's head, a pork rib, twenty catties of meat, fat and thin, and a bunch of pigs in the water.
It's going to be a big fat year this year.
The second brother and the fourth brother looked at their mother's generosity and were directly shocked!
"Mother, for the New Year, you can't have so much meat, right? There is also a lot of bacon at home. The second child reminded in a whisper.
In the past, the family only cut seven or eight catties of meat during the New Year, and it was already good to be able to eat meat during the New Year.
This year, my mother bought so much, it was too sudden, I am afraid that the whole village did not eat so much meat for the New Year, including the people who killed pigs.
"It's been hard work for a while this year, and I have to eat and make up for it in winter, and I'm working hard again in the spring of next year."
"What's more, this meat, with so many people in the family, do you think you won't be able to eat it all?"
The fourth child hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, you must be able to finish eating!" Another more than 20 pounds, and there is no fear! ”
"There's all you can eat at home!"
After Meng Ran finished buying meat, he went to the grain store and bought several bags of grain, mainly coarse grains, but he bought a lot of total grain, and there were also a lot of natural fine grains, such as flour.
Several bags of flour are enough to make pasta, noodles, buns, dumplings, and steamed buns.
"Mother, I really can't move! What else to buy? ”
"Not for the time being, I can't remember, wait to see the situation a year ago, and then decide whether to come for the last trip!"
Preparing for the New Year, there are more and more people in the town, and people from the countryside come to the city to stock up on New Year's materials.
In winter, you can guarantee that you will not starve to death.
"Then mother, let's go back first!"
The two brothers carried their things one after another, and they did not forget to pull her away.
They were afraid that their mother would continue to buy like crazy, and the money in the house would not be able to bear it, and they would not be able to transport back the two ox carts to buy so many things.
When Meng Ran was about to take a ride, his two eyes widened at the small mountain of things in the ox cart.
It turned out that she had bought so many things unconsciously, and she was short of anything, so naturally she would buy more things when she was free.
When the three of them went back, they took the path back, for fear of being remembered by the villagers, these two cars of things were too conspicuous.
The cold wind came out in gusts, and her legs were frozen and she couldn't move.
Later, he was helped out of the car by his two sons.
The four brothers of the Liu family are not much better, even if they cover their faces, they are still blown by the cold wind, and it is really difficult to drive the ox cart in the cold weather.
"Mother! Boss, hurry up and drink some ginger soup and go to the cold! ”
When Liu's eldest daughter-in-law heard the movement, she hurried out to pick up someone, and prepared a pot of ginger soup before, which was kept hot.
Several people drank a big bowl of ginger soup to ease up, it was really getting colder and colder outside, and there was no warmth when they came back during the day.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you sort out the New Year's goods with me!"
Relying on her alone, she can't handle so many things, and it's still good to add an assistant to help, sort out the things you bought, put them in order, put them in the kitchen, and hide them in the room, all of them are classified.
The meat should be processed, otherwise it will be thrown in the yard, and in winter it will be a natural refrigerator outside, and it can still store things.
Liu's eldest daughter-in-law was also surprised that her mother-in-law bought so many things for the Chinese New Year this year, eating, drinking, wearing, and everything.
"I'm really elm head!"
Meng then regretted that he didn't buy the most important thing.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"I actually forgot to buy charcoal when I went to the town, and I burned the kang and boiled water at night, which one didn't need charcoal to ignite? I was going to buy a small stove, but I forgot about it. ”
Meng Ran said regretfully, she didn't know what the reason was, she was super afraid of the cold.
The most important warm treasure equipment, she actually forgot it, so she can only go to the battle next time to buy it.
"Mother, isn't my brother-in-law's mother's family burning carbon? You can go directly to her mother's house and buy it! ”
"But, mother, didn't you just want charcoal a few years ago?"
The implication is that why do you want it again this year?
"Didn't your family be poor and have no money a few years ago? Just burn the firewood you picked up in the mountains, where to choose! ”
"The house that was just finished this year can't be smoked by firewood, and the charcoal burns longer, and if you fall asleep in the middle of the night, you don't have to get up to add firewood, you can sleep well!"
"Then mother, I'll go talk to my second brother and daughter-in-law and let her go back to her parents' house."
"Grandma, do you have anything to eat?" Liu Xiaoyi bit his fingers and asked softly.
Four-year-old little cute boy, round and jade, white and tender, and well-behaved, sensible and ingenious, will share sugar for his sister to eat.
This stinky boy can still get rid of bad problems.
"What do you want to eat? Grandma bought a lot of delicious food! ”
Meng Ran asked with a slight wicked smile, this little baby has become well-behaved, and she has been favored and taken care of by her, after all, she is still a little stupid baby, she knows how to eat and drink, and she just needs to be obedient.
"Grandma is the best! Xiaoyi loves to eat everything! ”
A small person, a serious sycophant.
Meng Ran couldn't cry or laugh, and randomly found out the New Year's hospitality snacks he bought in the town for the little guy to choose.
He saw a lot of delicious food, his eyes lit up, and he was so happy.
Two fleshy little claws, open the bow left and right, take it at the same time, and then run to share it with the sisters, especially know how to share, which makes people hurt.
Seeing that several granddaughters were looking at her, Meng Ran spoke: "Since it was given to you by my younger brother, let's eat it directly, whatever you want to eat, come over and take a little as you want, and save the rest for the New Year!" ”
Let this group of babies play by themselves, Meng Ran took his daughter-in-law and began to pack up the meat they bought.
So much water, two pigs, and a big pig's head, it is convenient to marinate it directly in one pot.
The rest of the meat is left to eat slowly.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, go and burn the pig's hair."
"Second daughter-in-law, clean up the large intestine and small intestine!"
"The third daughter-in-law, the rest of the offal will be handed over to you!"
"Fourth daughter-in-law, you and I will get the ingredients!"
Braised pork and water, the point is that the seasoning should be complete, ready, and the marinade should be boiled well, then it will not be a problem.
Liu's second daughter-in-law had a trace of resentment, holding her breath and scrubbing her intestines with difficulty.
I don't know if my mother-in-law deliberately tossed her again, this pig intestine is too smelly, and there is a lot of feces.
"Vomit ............"
She couldn't help but retch, and she wanted to throw up.
The other concubines won't have their turn to wash the pig's intestines, they all bully her!
She was resentful, and washed the pig's intestines in pieces.
Meng Ran went directly to the pharmacy to open a lot of medicinal materials, all of which are used to make big dishes, and today's marinade is boiled, which requires the use of star anise, Sichuan pepper, tangerine peel, angelica, cumin, bay leaves, grass fruit and cinnamon.
I got a marinade packet and waited for them to clean the pig and start the marinade.
She accidentally heard the second daughter-in-law's broken thoughts, but when she was sick again, she didn't want to say anything.
Otherwise, the more you talk, the more tired you will become, and you will be disgusted in vain.
