The next morning, Lin He was woken up by the sound outside, it was almost the New Year, and the town was lively, even if they lived on the outskirts of the town, they could hear the noise around them.

Hawkers walking the streets, chatting neighbors, laughing and playing.

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the more lively it is outside.

I drilled into the quilt with my eyes closed, touched two clothes, and hurriedly hugged them into my arms to warm them, and it was comfortable to wear them for a while.

She was busy last night, and although she slept for a long time in the afternoon, she was still a little too tired when she stayed up, so that she got up late again today.

However, the courtyard was quiet, and the sounds were all coming from outside, if nothing else, it should be Li Changhui who went out with a few children.

I lay in bed for a while, and I couldn't sleep, mainly because I was very hungry, so I could only get up reluctantly.

After getting dressed, they shivered twice before going out, and there was still a charcoal fire in the yard, and it was obvious that they had only been gone for a short time.

I went to the kitchen to take a look first, and sure enough, I saw the green vegetable porridge and salted duck eggs specially left for her.

The salted duck eggs were brought by my aunt yesterday, and their own ducks have not yet started laying eggs.

The salted duck eggs were only a quarter of a small piece, which was enough for dinner, and they sat down next to the brazier in the courtyard, around which they often ate, and a small table was specially placed next to it.

After taking a sip of green vegetable porridge, I instantly felt warm all over my body, especially when there was a fire beside me.

The charcoal fire was buried by soot, so that it could be kept warm for a longer time, and Lin He put two pieces of firewood on it, and it could be ignited slowly after a while.

This salted duck egg is made by my aunt herself, and the egg butter is full of shiny, which is tempting to look at.

Lin He likes to eat salted egg yolks, so he hurriedly sandwiched the egg yolks and ate them first, satisfied!

The egg white is very salty, a small piece is a big bite of porridge, just right, and super rice.

After eating one bowl, I felt that it was not enough, so I filled another bowl, and while I was eating, I heard the sound of two children talking outside, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Because she was sleeping and didn't wake up, the children were out again, so the door was locked from the outside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin He sitting and eating in front of them, and at the same time grinning: "You guys are back, what did you buy?" ”

"Pork and tofu ordered last night."

Li Changhui opened the courtyard door wide and said to the children behind him: "Go play, don't run far, it's nearby, we can see you at home." ”

"Okay, thank you, Dad."

Immediately, two large and one small, immediately ran away.

In the distance, there was also a group of small radish heads, several of which were about the same size as Li Yu, and when they saw them coming, they were still greeting Li Yu, looking very excited.

Seeing that Lin He was curious, Li Changhui came in with something on his back: "There are a few children who are in the same academy as Yu'er, and they say that they have a good relationship, and I also saw them when I picked him up before." ”

Lin He saw that he was still holding a red paper in his hand, and pointed: "What is this for?" ”

"Window flowers and red paper, you can write Spring Festival couplets by yourself, by the way, can you cut window flowers?"

Lin He shook her head and shook quickly, she didn't feel any of these meticulous work.

I wanted to buy it a few days ago, but I didn't know what to do at the time and forgot about it.

Li Changhui looked like this: "I guess you probably won't, and I won't either, so I bought a ready-made window." ”

"What about the Spring Festival couplets? Do you write it yourself? ”

Li Changhui nodded calmly: "Well, write it yourself, you can't sell it outside." ”

Lin He thought of when Li Changhui taught the children to write, the hand-picked calligraphy was very good-looking.

If this is Lin He's blind worship, then Li Changhui directly asked the two children to copy his calligraphy, which is enough to prove Li Changhui's self-confidence.

It's no wonder that he dislikes the Spring Festival couplets written outside that are not good-looking.

However, the Spring Festival is not in a hurry, and it was only posted on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lin He ate two or three times, just in time to see Li Changhui take out the pork and tofu.

Tofu is not the most tender kind, and too tender tofu has too much moisture and is not suitable for making pig blood balls.

The lean meat is a whole piece, and there is a small piece of fatty meat, which is to be chopped into meat foam after washing.

There is a pot on the brazier, scoop hot water and cold water, mix it warm, and wash all the tofu and lean meat.

The tofu was put aside to drain the water, Li Changhui began to chop the meat foam, and Lin He went to take the pig's blood that he picked up yesterday.

Sprinkle fresh pig blood with a little salt, stir it well, it will solidify on its own, and it will also force out the excess water inside.

Lin He cut the coagulated pig blood into pieces and took it out, poured out the excess blood water, and then gently cleaned the pig blood again and put it in a clean basin.

The blood clot is a little cold, leave a piece to eat at noon, and the rest is brought to the side of the brazier, where you can just see the group of children outside, and the two older ones are playing by themselves, and they haven't forgotten to pull the small ones all the time.

The voices of the three brothers were full of neutrality, especially Li Yu, several children surrounded him, listening carefully, as if they were teaching them to read?

This little guy actually has a hobby of being a teacher.

Lin He watched it for a while and then continued to be busy, putting all the blood clots and tofu into a wooden basin, and then kneading them all into minced pieces.

The ratio of pig blood to tofu should be five to one.

Although it was the first time to do it, I had already asked my aunt yesterday for the method.

As for pork, the eldest aunt said that she would make less of it, after all, pork is too expensive, if Lin He likes it, he can put more, it will be more delicious.

And you can add a little fat to the meat, so that it tastes more moisturizing.

Because he has no experience, Lin He prepares a little bit of various proportions, except for tofu and pig blood, the amount of pork is one to one, two to one, and a few each.

The sound of banging in the room never stopped, and Li Changhui quickly chopped nearly ten catties of pork into meat foam with a kitchen knife in one hand.

Put it in a clean wooden basin, then start chopping the ginger and garlic again, and finally sprinkle with a little peppercorn powder, enough salt, to make the meat foam taste good.

On the other side, Lin He also crushed and mixed the pig's blood and tofu, and also adjusted the taste.

The rest is to mix it with the meat foam according to the proportion, and then knead it into a ball.

The two of them took everything to the yard, and then took a big bowl, and Lin He was full of interest.

"First of all, pork and pig blood tofu are one-to-one, kneaded into an oval shape, Brother Hui, you can help me find something to remember, so that I will know which one is the best in the future."

As he spoke, he had scooped two large spoonfuls of the adjusted meat filling, and then two large spoons of pig's blood and chopped tofu, poured them all into the sea bowl, stirred them well with chopsticks, and kneaded them directly into a fist-sized oval.

Li Changhui took a cleaned bamboo sieve, put the finished pig blood balls on it, and then put it on the stove, so that when cooking rice, it can be smoked.

The pig blood balls made in this way have a unique flavor.
