Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 81 Eating Meatballs Around the Stove
Qingxiu saw Shen Qingning standing at the door staring at herself in a daze.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come and help light the fire. What are you doing, mother? I go up and down the stove by myself, and my skin is so dirty."

While complaining about Qingxiu's love of being clean, Shen Qingning went over to help light the fire, she glanced at Qingxiu, "Sister, who do you think you want to talk about in the future?"

Qingxiu glared at her, "Are you ashamed?"

"Why are you ashamed, we are sisters, will I still talk about it? Just tell me!"

Qingxiu pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Be like our father, be nice to people."

…………

"That's it? What else? Scholar? Businessman? Looks are not required?"

Qingxiu thought about it seriously, "It doesn't matter whether you are studying or farming, as long as you don't look ugly, it's best if your family is simple. I want to find someone close, just like my mother. If I want to go back to my mother's house, I will go back."

In this way, the Zhao family is very qualified. The eldest sister's wish is to be close to home and treat people well.

Then Zhao Wenhao was from the same village, he would often come to the house to play with Shen Guan, and Shen Qingning had met him many times, anyway, he was considered polite, not as lofty as a scholar.

"What are you sisters talking about?" Mrs. Li entered the kitchen with a basin in her hand.

How could Qingxiu have the nerve to say this to Li Shi, "Mother, this asparagus is almost ready to be fried, what should I fry next?"

"Fry some lotus root and eat."

Lotus root is also called lotus root clip. Cut the lotus root into two connected pieces, and put the prepared meat stuffing in the middle.

When Shen Qingning was cutting lotus root slices, she couldn't cut the two connected slices, but was pushed away by Qingxiu's waist, "Get up, let me do it."

I saw Qingxiu took out two chopsticks and placed them on both sides of the lotus root, so that every cut would not reach the end, they were all connected together, and finally cut off two pieces.

After cutting a lotus root, he handed the knife to Shen Qingning, "Stupid!"

Shen Qingning was powerless to refute for a while.

Put the lotus root clip with the meat in the batter and roll it around, then put it in the oil pan and fry it.

Take a bite, it is crispy and tender, and the meat is full of fragrance.

Shen Zheng took some of Qingxiu's bowls and sent them to his father and elder brother, the freshly fried ones are the most delicious.

The lotus root is not stored, the amount of making is not much, just eat it for two days.

The only thing that can be cooked during the Chinese New Year is fried meatballs. Mrs. Li prepared a large bowl this time.

The freshly fried meatballs are crispy and fragrant, and can be steamed when they are cold. It is also delicious to put a few when cooking, and is very popular among the locals.

It is expected that it has been prepared a long time ago, and Li can fry it by himself. With a handful of minced meat in his hand, squeeze the tiger's mouth, and a round ball will fall into the spoon, and then put it into the oil pan.

Qingxiu also rested her hands, and followed her younger siblings around the stove to eat the freshly cooked meatballs.The sizzling sound of croquettes on the stove, and the aroma of food in the air.

Shen Qingning closed her eyes and felt it, "It's so good, I really like Chinese New Year!"

A meatball was stuffed into her mouth by Qingxiu, "That's great, I like Chinese New Year too."

Not to be outdone, Shen Zheng said, "I also like Chinese New Year!"

Xiao Miaoer said in a childish voice, "I like it!"

Looking at these children in her family, Mrs. Li felt weak in her heart. She and her child's father braved the cold to set up a stall every day before dawn, wasn't it just for these children?
"It's really a child. Children look forward to the New Year, and adults look forward to going to the fields. If there is no one at home, it will be even more difficult when the New Year comes. You have to order meat, and you can't even eat white rice.

When I was a girl at home, people would go to She Tofu every new year, and people would go there every year. I really couldn’t afford the few pennies, so I had to collect the food in the next year, which was paid for. "

"Mother, who was the poorest family in the village at that time?"

Mrs. Li really thought about it, "When I was a teenager, there was a family named Wu in the village. His old lady was sick in bed and never married a wife. It was not until he was in his 30s that he said he was blind. eyed girl.

But the family was so poor that the blind woman ran away after giving birth to a baby. "

"Later?"

"Later, the old lady of the Wu family died, and the man left the village with a child of a few years old on his back. He didn't know where he went. Anyway, the family was poor and had nothing. If he didn't go out, the debts would make him unable to recover. "

"Did you leave in debt? There is no one in the family?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "His family has been passed down for generations, and the debts he owes are not that much. It's just a little bit from one family to another, and he still owes my family a few catties of tofu. Why don't you go out and find a way out. If the child is still there, at least There are also seventeen or eighteen."

"Who is seventeen or eighteen years old?" Shen Dahe entered the kitchen with an empty bowl, and ate meatballs from the basket.

"Father, wash your hands." Qingxiu called him.

"I get it, I get it, you're the only girl with more rules."

Mrs. Li picked up a meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, "Talk about the son of Wu Dagui's family."

"His family? His family still owes my mother a hundred cash!"

"So much? Mother is so generous."

Shen Dahe smiled proudly, "Don't look at my mother's rules, but she is soft-hearted. The Wu family is really pitiful. Speaking of which, his son is three years older than Guan'er."

Shen Guan washed his hands and went into the kitchen, pushed Shen Zheng off the stool, and ate meatballs by himself around the bowl.

Shen Zheng refused to accept, "Brother!"

"Little boy, you have to stand up more, or you won't grow taller." Shen Guan didn't even turn his head.

The little guy had no choice but to squeeze in and eat standing up.

Mrs. Li had something on her mind, and while she was working, she pretended to be careless and asked her eldest son, "Guan'er, how is your classmate Wen Hao?"

Shen Dahe raised his eyes to look at his daughter-in-law, Li Shi gave him a concerned look.

Shen Guan swallowed the food in his mouth, "It's not bad, he studies very hard. The teacher often praises him as the most diligent one in our school."

Shen Qingning was puzzled, "Brother, you are not as diligent as him in the top three of your child's exam?"

Shen Guan heyed twice in embarrassment, "Hey, three of us must have my teacher, sir, he praised me for my talent."

Mrs. Li was also happy when she heard this, "You can't be lazy if you just boast, sir, you should learn from Wen Hao first."

"Understood, mother."

"My son, come and help me, Qingxiu looks at the pot." Li Shi called Shen Dahe out after finishing the last pot of meatballs.

Qingxiu stood up, "Understood."

When Shen Dahe followed Li Shi to the yard, Li Shi took a few steps and pulled him back to the house.

"What's the matter? Want to move something?"

"Don't move things, let me tell you, Lizheng's wife is here today."

"What is she here for?"

"What else can I do? Of course it's a marriage between the two children."

"Didn't we push it? No wonder you just asked about that kid Wen Hao."

"Oh, what Lizheng's daughter-in-law said today really moved me. I thought that if I missed his house, I might not be able to find a better one."

Mrs. Li told Shen Dahe everything that Lizheng's wife said today.

Shen Dahe was still a little hesitant, "How do I remember that she was very powerful when she first married in the village?"
