Chapter 407

Speaking of the vegetables in this winter, Li Meier spent a lot of time planting them. Li Meier has always been good at eating, but when winter comes, there are only some radishes and cabbages left to eat.

She complained to Jiang Shanqing for a few words, and Jiang Shanqing gave her an idea, asking her to find a special room and put a warm pot so that she could grow vegetables in winter.

Vegetables are plentiful in summer and can be used to feed cattle and sheep, but they are extremely rare in winter.In the past, they were not sold in Zhangshui Town, even if they were as rich as the Zhou family, they had to go to the state capital to buy some green leafy vegetables.

After coming to the state capital, Mrs. Li felt that the green vegetables in winter were too expensive, so she might as well buy a few more catties of meat and not let her family buy it, so Li Meier grew it by herself.

After tossing and tossing for a winter, it really made her come out.Mrs. Li used to eat turnips and cabbage all winter. Of course, she also wanted to taste the green vegetables. Who knows that Li Meier is a stingy person, so it's not that she doesn't give it to Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li has to bring something in exchange every time.

Old lady Li was sore from eating Li Meier's green vegetables, now, without the need for old lady Li to bleed, Li Meier took the initiative to take out the green vegetables to eat, old lady Li was naturally amazed for a while.

Li Mei'er heard that Mrs. Li said that she was an iron rooster, she laughed and replied, "It's called, if there are ancestors, there must be grandchildren!"

When Mrs. Li scolded "little bastard", Li Mei'er had already run away with oil on her feet.

At noon, when all the dishes were ready, the family sat around and ate the pot. The soup base of the pot was boiled with sheep scorpion. It was boiled for a long time, revealing a faint milky white color. The side dishes include fish balls, meatballs, and egg dumplings made by Li Meier herself.

Li Meier brought out the thinly sliced ​​mutton first, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, let's boil the meat first, and then add some vegetables to the soup after eating the meat. In this way, the vegetables can borrow the aroma of the broth, Tastes better."

Jiang Youzhi was listening, and couldn't help but praise his niece, "Mei Meier just knows how to eat, and there are small green vegetables in this winter. Are these things more expensive than meat?"

Li Meier smiled very proudly: "It doesn't need money, I planted it myself, little uncle, you just open your belly and eat it.

"Forget it, this vegetable is rare, but I still prefer to eat meat." Jiang Youzhi said with a chuckle.At his age, when he was able to eat, he could kill several catties of mutton by himself.

"Little uncle, you are the same as me. I don't like to eat green vegetables. How can these vegetables taste like meat!" Brother Kang immediately agreed as if he had found a bosom friend.Unlike his mother and sister, he likes to pick some vegetables and radishes to eat.

"My eldest grandson likes to eat, so eat more. Your sister killed a sheep, and the mutton is enough for today." Mrs. Li has always loved her grandson the most, and she has already picked up a plate of mutton for her grandson. eat.

"Grandmother, you can eat it too. The mutton is thin, and it will come out of the pot after a while, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets old." Kang Geer only waited for the mutton to roll in the pot for a while, then quickly picked it up with a spoon and put it in the pot. Put it in Mrs. Li's bowl, and said in a very doggy manner.

Mrs. Li was coaxed into a happy smile by him, and she also picked up several pieces of mutton for him.

Li Meier was happy to see her younger brother serving her grandmother comfortably, and she took a plate of mutton to boil to eat. She likes to serve the mutton boil with some homemade seafood sauce.

Li Meier didn't just care about eating by herself, seeing that Jiang Shi didn't like the smell of mutton when she was pregnant, she specially cooked the fish balls and another small vegetable in advance, and let Jiang Shi eat alone.

Brother Jian is still young and doesn't like shabu-shabu, so he also eats fish ball soup and vegetarian dishes with Jiang.

Jiang Shanqing has never been too fond of meat, but he has never stopped simmering meat, but most of them are simmered and put in Li Meier's bowl, which is very considerate.

Everyone in the Li family ate the mutton hot pot very comfortably. Fortunately, it was noon, and there was still a lot of time for activities to digest after eating. If it was at night, I'm afraid everyone would have to eat some hawthorn pills to digest.

Li Meier's birthday is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. After her birthday, she will be thirteen. After the new year is over, she can say that it is fourteen. Because it is not a full birthday, she just spends it at home casually, and the family members are all on their own. She was very happy with the birthday presents, even though they were ordinary little things.

On Mrs. Zhen's side, every year on Li Mei'er's birthday, people will send gifts, and this year they even sent a few horses of high-quality clothes material.

Mrs. Li couldn't help admiring the clothes that Mrs. Zhen gave her, "Oh, it's so strange that they came out of the palace. Looking at the clothes, there is nothing better than this!"

Li Meier was also stroking the slippery fabric, and decided that when the weather was warm and the wisteria bloomed, she would immediately make the freshest wisteria pancakes and send them to Mrs. Zhen, with the best fillings and ten Year's lard to do it!

Here we need to popularize a common sense, to make dim sum, most of them use lard, which is crispy, fragrant and sweet enough.Moreover, the age of the lard is also particular. The older the lard, the better the taste of the dim sum.Not only does it taste good, but the dim sum made from old lard is not easy to spoil. Therefore, the price of old lard is also very expensive.

Mrs. Li and Li Mei'er looked at the elegant and lustrous material under the lamp. The grandparents and grandchildren swore with their experience in three lifetimes that they had never seen such a good material in three lifetimes.

Mrs. Li said, "It's so slippery and soft, touch it."

Li Meier said, "Yes, not only is it soft, look at the color, how soft it is."

Mrs. Li recited the sound of Buddha, "My little girl, you have a great fortune. You can wear such good clothes in this life. How did you cultivate it in your life?"

"I cultivated it in my previous life." Li Meier pulled out a section and compared it to her body, and said, "I will make a new one tomorrow."

Mrs. Li snatched the material back into her arms, and said, "Don't burn the buns! The new clothes I just made a few days ago have not been worn for a few days, what are you doing? Such a good material, save it first Now you are growing fast, and you are so tall that you will become smaller in a few days after the clothes are made, and you will use the good material in vain, and you will use this material when you are not growing."

These words were too shocking, Li Meier couldn't believe it, and said, "Oh, according to your grandmother, I won't be worthy of wearing good clothes until I grow up!"

Mrs. Li is really worried. She thinks that her old man has lived a thrifty life at home all her life, and she has managed to get a little girl to make some money.
