Chapter Twenty-Eight: New Year's Day

After New Year's Day, it will be more than two months before the New Year's Festival, so the educated youth will not have the opportunity to go home for reunion until early February.

Therefore, the old intellectuals and young people discussed, everyone got together on this day to be lively, after all, New Year's Day is also a serious festival.

However, since Bai Li'an died and Shao Hua returned to Beijing, Chen Liang's gang rarely came to the east, and Yun Ling occasionally heard them chatting in private, thinking that the dead people here were unlucky, so the people on both sides rarely interacted, and there was a bit of a clear posture.

So the other party's New Year's Day party did not call people here.

But this afternoon, Sun Qian and Guo Jiyun held hands with each other and knocked on Yun Ling's door.

Yun Ling was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

They should be preparing food at this time, right?

Sun Qian raised her eyebrows: "Huh? Didn't Woad inform you? Let's celebrate New Year's Day together! ”

"In the morning, I said we were going to celebrate New Year's Day together, but I thought you would be over there." Yun Ling took the rice dishes and opened the door to welcome them in.

Guo Jiyun slumped on the kang and waved his hand: "I don't want to get together with them, I turned eighteen turns while talking, and I was tired to death." ”

Sun Qian and Yun Ling looked at each other, shaking their heads while laughing, helpless at her straightforwardness.

When the guests came to the door, Yun Ling, as the host, naturally got busy.

She took out several large plates from the cupboard, poured peanuts and melon seeds and sugar cubes on each plate, and placed them on the kang table, next to a small plate, which was used to knock melon seeds and throw the skin. I went to the vat in the snow outside the house and took out a few frozen pears and frozen persimmons, soaked them in a basin of warm water to melt, the sweet and juicy smoothie taste, they were very strange to eat for the first time.

But Guo Jiyun and Sun Qian didn't come to eat rice, they followed her and said that they would do it.

Today, everyone said that they would bring their own rations, and each person would add one more dish, and the rich would bring meat, and the ordinary ones would bring vegetables.

Guo Jiyun's hometown is local to Harbin Province, and her family mailed several red sausages, this time she brought them over, cut them directly and put them on a plate, and a piece of jujube red oval sausage was spread all over the white plate, placed like a big red peony, very festive.

It just so happens that her cooking skills are average, so she doesn't have to worry about the tedious steps of cooking.

Sun Qian's family is in Shanghai, and in the higher-standard Chinese New Year's Eve dinner there, there is a special dish - Babao duck.

This dish requires a lot of expensive ingredients according to the proper method, and in the cold and freezing Northeast region, even if you have money, you may not be able to get it together. She simply simplified the recipe, the requirements are not so high, just the home-cooked flavor.

She cut the back of the young duck bought from the villagers' homes, dug up the internal organs, and cut the duck's feet; Then the whole duck is submerged in boiling water, blanched, removed and washed, and wiped off the water with a dry cloth; Then smear with soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and other seasonings, and put the duck belly up into a large bowl.

Yun Ling helped her cut a large piece of meat from the whole smoked ham hanging from the eaves, and cut it into cubes along with the soaked dried shiitake mushrooms. Take out the wild chestnuts picked in the mountains after autumn, remove the shells and take the meat; The washed chicken was chopped again, and the fragrant glutinous rice was also grown from the system, washed and steamed with water.

Finally, all the ingredients are slightly stir-fried with lard and green onion and ginger, add soy sauce and sugar to cook, put it out and mix it into glutinous rice, fill it all into the duck belly, steam it for three or four hours, and take it out after the duck meat is crispy.

Yun Ling only participated in part of the vegetable cutting process, so she felt that this dish was very troublesome, and couldn't help asking, "Is this really a simple version?" ”

Sun Qian wiped her sweat, wiped her hands with a dry cloth, and replied: "The dishes in Shanghai are quite exquisite, my family has made this before, and I also put dried scallops, shrimps, green beans, winter bamboo shoots and chicken gizzards...... It's not near the sea, so I've simplified it a lot. ”

Guo Jiyun glanced at the steamer on the iron pot and sighed: "You guys are really good at eating there, this dish is full of bells and whistles, and it is expensive to sell it in a state-run restaurant!" ”

There was only one iron pot, and now that it was used, they had to wait at least three or four hours, so the three of them had to move their positions.

Yun Ling tiptoed at the door of the next door, and found that it was still dark inside, wondering why she hadn't come back yet?

This morning, Chu Xianglan said that she was going to the county seat, but now it is almost evening, and the person has not come back. Yun Ling was a little worried, would something happen to her on the road by herself?

If it gets dark for a while, she hasn't come back, Yun Ling plans to go out of the village to look for it.

At this time, Qian Li happened to be preparing dumplings at home, the filling was pork sauerkraut, six points sauerkraut and four points pork, and the sauerkraut was the vat where the three of them pickled together in autumn.

She can be called the only one among these girls who does not touch the spring water with her fingers, in Yunling's words, if it is not necessary, don't let her cook.

Sun Qian stared at Qian Li in a daze, rolling out the few dumpling wrappers that were not round or flat, and her brain was a little short circuited for a while, and she didn't know how to evaluate it so as not to hit her self-esteem......

Guo Jiyun is a rectum, and he didn't hold it back for a long time, hiding behind Sun Qian's back and laughing secretly.

Qian Li pursed her mouth, pressed a few dough agents hard, and vented weakly: "It's still that this dough is not kneaded well, and it can't be round no matter how you roll it......"

She muttered quietly, but Yun Ling beside her heard it clearly, suppressed her smile, and taught her hand in hand.

"Hold the rolling pin in your right hand and pinch the corner of the dough with your left hand, rolling it out as you turn. The dough should be thick in the middle and four circles thin, so that it will not leak when wrapping......"

She stood behind Qian Li's side, her delicate hands clenched, her voice gentle and gentle, without the slightest impatience, and she taught over and over again.

"It's round!" Qian Li picked up the dumpling skin, her apricot eyes were round, like a deer, she was cute and cute, and praised her, "Your craftsmanship is really good." ”

Yun Ling's hands worked non-stop, and he rolled out one in a few clicks, and each one was the same, and the naked eye couldn't see the gap at all.

"In the past, our family made dumplings to eat every holiday, and the whole family had to do it, and no one could be left behind."

At the mention of this, Yun Ling suddenly felt a little homesick.

Truth be told, she's not an emotionally sensitive person.

It is no exaggeration to say that she may still be a little cold-hearted and cold-hearted to outsiders. Even her calm lobby brother complained that she didn't care about people when she was a child, and she couldn't be happy no matter how funny she was, and when she was a little older and could read, she would be bored in her parents' study every day and read books, and she grew up to be a nerd.

But in fact, she was able to develop this independent personality because of her parents' profession.

The hospitals in the capital are busier than other ordinary hospitals, and the patient cases they receive are more difficult and complicated, so they are not only ready to stand on the operating table at all times, but also work overtime, not to mention that they have to go home after work to study international medical materials, and they can't take care of a child like Yunling.

Yun Ling was brought up by her grandparents when she was young, her grandfather was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and his way of bringing up the baby was extremely rough - put the cubs aside, her grandfather read a book, and Yun Ling lay next to her and spit bubbles; Grandpa gave a, and Yun Ling crawled around with a small toy Zhu Xiao......

As a result, Xiao Yunling gradually learned to read and write, read and distinguish herbs at a young age.

When they were older and no longer needed to be taken care of, their grandparents returned to their hometown of Yun Province to care for the elderly. She lives with her parents and nanny Qi Ma in the capital, whether it is going to school or going to the hospital to study, she always makes her own ideas.

In fact, Yun Ling felt that this was also very good, she was used to relying on herself in everything and not relying on others. If she had been half indecisive at the beginning, she would not have made the most rational decision immediately after making trouble at home - to go to the countryside decisively, and to plan her future life reasonably according to the current situation, instead of crying and begging for help.

At that time, she felt that there was no room for things to turn around, but her family connections still needed to be checked, and her parents had many old friends, and they might be able to take care of each other when they left the capital, so they would visit them one by one before leaving.

Maybe because Yun Ling was only a seventeen-year-old girl, she was not qualified to speak, and outsiders felt that she couldn't be the master of the family when they saw her, so there were many people who saw the wind and made the rudder fall into the well, but fortunately, there were still uncles and two uncles to protect her. Even when the Yun family was the most depressed, no one really dared to bully them in person, but it was inevitable to say a few words of gossip behind their backs.

As her mind drifted away, she couldn't help but wonder if her parents, who were far away in the capital, would have a hot meal of dumplings on New Year's Day?

But after thinking about it, Yun Ling lowered her eyes and sighed silently.

She knows her parents' temper best, and it is common for her to forget to sleep and eat when she is busy with work, and it is estimated that she will forget that today is New Year's Day.

His eyes slowly moistened, but he still restrained his emotions rationally, today is a day of joy, and he can't shed tears in front of everyone.

Yun Ling tilted her head slightly, blinked her eyes twice, and returned to normal.

There are many good things, and when the Chinese New Year comes, you can take annual leave and go back to see.
