Lunch was simple, cut a few slices of boiled pork belly, fried a plate of garlic sprouts, tore a boiled air-dried chicken, cut a pig's blood balls, fried a plate of green vegetables, and then cooked a pot of porridge, and ate a delicious meal.

In the past two days, almost all of them have eaten bacon, all of which are salty, and of course it is the most comfortable with porridge.

In addition to salt, air-dried chicken is also marinated with spices ground into powder, and after cooking, it is torn into one piece, which is fragrant and chewy, and is particularly delicious.

In addition to all kinds of meat, of course, there is also dried tofu, which is smoked on the stove with pig blood balls, but it seems to be oversmoked and a little hard, but when you have nothing to do, eat two pieces, and it is quite fragrant.

I washed my three children's hair in the morning, and in the afternoon they didn't need to help with the work, and of course, there was nothing they needed to do.

In the morning, all the meat was cooked, but the broth in the pot was not discarded, and when the broth had cooled, the thick oil on top was scooped up and put into a large bowl, and a little bit was added to the soup later, which was also delicious.

Then the soaked bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and dried cowpeas are stewed in the broth, so that the broth will not be wasted, and you can still eat the meaty stew.

As for the pork ribs and pig's trotters that were cooked before, Lin He planned to cut them all directly into pieces and put them on a plate, so it was best to eat them like this, not only the meat was delicious, but there was no need to worry about soaking in the soup and it was easy to spoil.

In the afternoon, Lin He and Li Changhui also washed their hair cleanly, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still time, the two took the children out for a walk, and went to see the fish pond that had just been dug in the field, which had already taken shape, and it might not take as long as a spring.

I also met many people on the road, and they all smiled and said Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity.

Today, the farm is on duty with another person, his home is in the town, and he can go home in the evening to have a New Year's dinner, and then go back to the farm to keep vigil.

Lin He specially brought the red envelope for him, and early tomorrow morning, when Li Changqiang came over, he could go home and rest for a day.

Big Black and Little Black also worked hard, Lin He specially gave two dogs two eggs each and let them eat.

The farm also raised a kitten, and also got two eggs as a reward, after all, the farm has a lot of food here, as well as eggs and wild eggs picked up every day, which are especially easy to attract mice and weasels.

Li Changhui specially prepared a medicine bag to repel insects and avoid rats, but if the kittens are there, it will be safer, and the only thing that is a little troublesome is that they have to run once a day to feed the cats and dogs.

There is no place to cook in the farm, and the two big men can't cook, but the problem of their eating needs to be solved.

It just so happened that when I was recruiting workers in the field before, there was a nearby farmer who specially helped cook, and they gave money, although it was all coarse tea and light rice, but at least it was full.

Later, when there was no short-term work, the two also ate there, Lin He just paid for the meal on time every month, and occasionally cooked a little spicy tang to send to them to improve their lives.

In this way, cats and dogs are mainly fed by themselves.

But it's just one more trip, and it's not in the way.

Take a stroll around, go home when it's almost dark, and then prepare today's New Year's dinner.

Li Changhui chopped the pork trotters and pork ribs into small pieces, the pig's feet were connected to the elbow of a whole root, the elbow meat was cut off separately, cut into slices of meat with skin, and it was particularly fragrant to eat directly.

Lin He put the sausage tofu and other slices on the plate, as well as pork belly and pork belly fat sausage, pig heart and pork liver, etc., the pig's tail was cut into a plate, and then it was steamed in the pot later, and then took the opportunity to adjust the dipping water.

By the way, there is also fish, fish is the only fresh dish today, a large pot of boiled fish, the kind that cannot be eaten as much as possible, and you can eat another meal at noon tomorrow!

In addition, stir-fry spinach, after all, it can't be all meat.

The two of them were busy, but they prepared their first New Year's dinner in an orderly manner, plus bamboo shoots boiled in broth, a full fourteen dishes!

When the table was served, Li Yu and Li Hao were directly stunned.

"That's a lot of meat!"

Li Yu's eyes widened, and Li Hao next to him also nodded vigorously.

Usually, there are meat dishes on the dinner table almost every day, but generally one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, etc., but it has never been like now, the table is full of more than a dozen dishes, almost all of which are meat!

Lin He was holding chopsticks, and asked a little funny when he saw this: "What was the Chinese New Year like before?" ”

Li Yu recalled: "There is only one meat dish, and there are very few, a few pieces of meat stewed in a big pot, and the meat can only be eaten by grandpa and second uncle and third uncle, and no one else can eat it." ”

Not only them, but other families are also like this, meat is such a good thing, women and children are not qualified, only the pillars of the family can eat it.

Lin He was not surprised, after all, it was the same in the memory of the original owner.

In other words, the vast majority of ordinary people spend their lives like this.

"Okay, let's eat on the table, eat as much as you want today!"

Li Changhui took a jar of wine and came out: "Drink a little tonight?" ”

"Of course, such a good appetizer, why don't you drink some wine?"

Li Changhui poured two bowls, one of which was only half of the other, and Lin He instantly pouted: "Why only pour me so little?" ”

It seems to be coquettish.

Li Changhui was unmoved: "Didn't you say that you should take a bath after eating?" ”

The amount of alcohol is shallow, and if you get drunk, you can only soak in the bath.

When Lin He heard this, he immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll drink it slowly tomorrow." ”

The tubs are all bought, and she doesn't want to spend the New Year dirty!

"Happy New Year." The two clinked glasses, and under the flickering candlelight, both of them were in high spirits and smiling.

This is their first year in the family, and they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After eating, Li Yu also recited a disciple's rule to them.

A meal was eaten for nearly an hour, but fortunately there was a brazier under the table, and the meal was always hot.

Lin He was busy all day, and he was tired at this time, so Li Changhui asked her to rest and wash the dishes by herself, except for spinach, there was a lot left over from each dish, put the platter together, put it on the table, and cover it with a big bamboo sieve.

It's been cold lately, and it's all bacon, so it's no problem to put it for three or four days.

After cleaning up, he began to boil hot water again, and burned it together outside the house, Li Changhui deliberately vacated the utility room and put the bath bucket in it to facilitate Lin He to take a bath.

After I was busy cleaning up, it was already midnight, but I couldn't sleep yet, and I had to keep vigil.

Li Changhui specially bought firecrackers from the county, and when the time came, he lit firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.

When Lin He came out of the bath, he was already so sleepy that his eyes were about to be unable to open, Li Changhui originally asked her to sleep first, and he and Li Yu just guarded it.

But Lin He won't go, this New Year, she has to keep it by herself!

As for the other two little ones, they couldn't hold on to falling asleep for a long time.

With a burst of 'crackling' excitement, the New Year has finally arrived.
