On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Lan let Xiaodouzi change into a red turtleneck, a coffee-colored children's jacket, and new cotton shoes.

Lin Lan kissed him: "Well, my son is so handsome today, like a doll on a New Year's painting." ”

Xiaodouzi also kissed her: "Mom, when will Uncle Xiangyang come to paste the Spring Festival couplets?" ”

Lin Lan glanced at the alarm clock: "You go to wash your face and brush your teeth and have breakfast first, and Uncle Xiangyang is here." ”

"Hmm!" Little Bean pedaled out of the way.

Lin Lan went to the yard to dry her clothes.

Qiaohui carried the teapot and poured him a basin of hot water: "Beans, we ate rice balls this morning, how many do you eat?" ”

Xiaodouzi thought for a moment: "I'll eat three." ”

"Okay!" Qiaohui scooped up the rice ball powder, added water and kneaded it, took out the core of Wu Shufen's rice balls from the cupboard, wrapped more than a dozen rice balls and put them on the cutting board.

Lift the lid of the pot, put the rice balls in the pot, use a shovel to cover the lid a few times, wait for the rice balls to float up and scoop them into the bowl, bring them to the table, and raise their voice: "Cousin, eat the rice balls." ”

"Here we are." Lin Lan straightened the last piece of clothing, hung it on the hanger, and carried the basin into the stove room.

Qiao Hui smiled: "We have dinner, we won't wait for you." ”

Xiaodouzi pointed to the bowl: "Mom, I'll eat three." ”

Lin Lan picked up the chopsticks: "Eat enough, I'll go to the street later." ”

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Auntie's dumplings are big, three is enough." ”

The dough made by Wu Shufen is made with lard in the core, which tastes sweet and smooth, fat but not greasy, glutinous but not sticky.

The three of them ate rice balls, warmed dog food for Wangcai, and when they started to cook pig food, Li Xiangyang arrived on a bicycle.

Xiaodouzi greeted him, looked at him and said, "Uncle Xiangyang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Li Xiangyang rubbed his head: "Uncle came after pasting the Spring Festival couplets at home." ”

"Oh! I'll serve you the paste. Little Douzi said and turned around and ran towards the stove.

Lin Lan opened the hall and came out with a high stool: "Xiangyang, you stepped on it high enough." ”

"Stick to the door first."

Lin Lan took out the Spring Festival couplets from the gate and handed them to him.

Little Bean handed over the porcelain pot with the paste.

Li Xiangyang took it and smeared the paste on the door frame with a brush, and first pasted the couplet: peace and good luck inside and outside; Then paste the next link: family happiness and financial resources; Horizontal batch: auspicious stars shine brightly.

Xiaodouzi looked at the gold characters on the red background, clapped his hands and said, "Wow! Look good. ”

Li Xiangyang got off the high stool, and the three of them stood at the door and watched for a while, then went to the hall, the stove room, and the pigsty, and the Spring Festival couplets at the door of the chicken pen were all replaced with new ones.

After the red Spring Festival couplets are pasted, the New Year's flavor is even stronger.

Xiaodouzi looked at Li Xiangyang who was standing on the high stool: "Uncle Xiangyang, Brother Dandan said that they will also paste Spring Festival couplets this morning, will our house also be pasted?" ”

Li Xiangyang pasted the prosperity of the six animals: "Yes, a few shops and the house over there must be pasted, and Uncle will take you with me later." ”

Xiaodouzi nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Where are we in the reunion today?" ”

Li Xiangyang jumped off the high stool and rubbed his head: "Go to your uncle's house for the New Year, Grandpa Li is ready." ”

"Then let's hurry!" Little Bean urged.

Li Xiangyang nodded: "Uncle go to push the cart." ”

Lin Lan came out with a pig food bucket, and when she saw the two of them pushing the cart out, she said with a smile: "You go to paste the Spring Festival couplets, and I will go over when the pigs are full." ”

"Okay, let's go first." Li Xiangyang rode away with Xiaodouzi.

After the four pigs were full and the pigsty was cleaned, Lin Lan went to the vegetable field to chop vegetables, pulled out some garlic sprouts and celery, and went back to get the cured chicken, new clothes, new shoes, and two bamboo tubes of tea on the back.

Qiaohui took out two pairs of insoles and said to Lin Lan: "Cousin, I made two pairs of insoles for Uncle Li. ”

Lin Lan took it and looked at it, saw the double happiness word she embroidered, nodded and said, "Yes, the stitches are fine, much stronger than my cousin." ”

"Really!" Qiaohui looked at her happily.

Lin Lan nodded, rode him to Li's house, and when she opened the courtyard door, she saw Lao Li coming out of the stove room with a waist tied.

The two said in unison: "Dad, (Uncle Li) has given you a New Year's greeting." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the New Year's money after eating." Lao Li Le looked at the two of them and took the back: "It's good to have one more dish, there is still the sugarcane I just burned in the stove room, you go and eat it." ”

In winter, everyone loves to eat burnt sugarcane, the old man said that burning sugarcane can cure cough, the weather is cold, and children also like to hold the warm burnt sugarcane in their hands.

"Hey!" Lin Lan responded and followed into the stove room, saw the sugarcane in front of the stove, took two sections, and handed one to Qiaohui.

With one bite, the cooked cane skin is easily torn off, and the bite is hot and sweet.

Lin Lan was eating sugarcane, and saw that Lao Li had prepared all the dishes, and there were sausage platters, oily roed goose, and spicy sausages on the big round table.

Spicy and refreshing cold chicken nuggets, and in the steamer, there are soft and moderate, fat but not greasy sweet roasted white, rice noodles are oily, and the steamed pork with rich flavor is rich......

"It smells so good!" Qiao Hui sniffed: "Uncle Li is so good, he made so many dishes in one morning." ”

Lao Li, who cut the meat slices, said happily: "When I finish the fragrant bowl and Xiang Yang and the beans come back, we will start the reunion year." ”

Qiao Hui hadn't seen how the incense bowl was made, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I'll learn from you." ”

"Good!" Lao Li Lehe.

He slice a piece of foreleg meat, cut two shallots, shredded a small amount of ginger, chop it into minced meat with the meat, add an appropriate amount of salt, white pepper, soy sauce, pepper powder, grasp and mix evenly.

Beat two more eggs, strain out the egg whites, put an appropriate amount of red vetch powder, add a little water to dissolve, pour the batter into the meat filling, stir in one direction until the meat is firm and set aside.

Beat the eggs, rub the bottom of the pan with fat, put the egg mixture into the frying pan with a spoon, and shake the pan to make the egg skin thick and even.

After the egg skin is fried, apply the starch sauce, put the minced meat in half on the egg skin, wrap it tightly, seal it and put it in the steamer, poke it a few times with a toothpick, after steaming, cut it into a section about one inch long for later use.

Put crispy meat at the bottom of the bowl, soaked dried yellow flowers, and put the steamed fragrant bowl on top, pour in the broth and put it in the steamer to steam again.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, there was a burst of firecrackers on the street from time to time.

When the fragrant bowl was almost steamed, Xiaodouzi ran into the yard: "We're back." ”

"It's served." Lao Li shouted happily.

"Here we are." Yang Zhigang and Xiaodouzi ran over with a smile.

Several people brought the cured vegetables and steamed pork to the hall house, and Lao Li put the red and bright watercress carp on the plate, and there were fish in the reunion dinner, which meant that there was more than every year.

After steaming, take out the steamer and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, followed by golden and crispy little crispy pork...... There's also a plate of spicy and sour kimchi.

After a few people sat down, Lao Li looked at a few people happily: "Eat, twist according to your favorite." ”

After Qiao Hui took a soft fragrant bowl and ate it, she praised: "The fragrant bowl made by Uncle Li is delicious." ”
