The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 124
On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lao Yuantou took all the men of Lao Yuan's family back to Dali Village after lunch.

Together with the two cousins, they will kowtow to the ancestors of the Yuan family in the ancestral hall, and then present whole chickens, ducks and big pig heads, so that the ancestors will have a good year.

Uncle Yuan Datang looked at the young man of the Yuan family kneeling in the ancestral hall, and sighed in his heart. The prosperity of the old Yuan family seems to depend on his cousin. See if he has three sons and six grandsons, and he can still reproduce. No way.

The Hu family is also worshiping their ancestors. However, the atmosphere of their family this year is average, and the atmosphere is a bit heavy.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Hei Wa took a few boys to the old man's house and gave a bunch of supplements to the old couple.

He said to Father Hu: "Father, I know that Niu Changshui's matter has made you embarrassed, and the second brother's family may also have to break up.

But, this kid is so vicious, I was quite scared when I heard it when I came back. If Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had a good or bad relationship, Cuihua would go crazy, thinking of this, I can't help but soften my heart.

Don't worry about you and your mother, Xiao Chuan and the two little nieces, let's bring them up properly, and when Xiao Lian and Xiao He grow up, they will all be sent to my house. The nuns in the family have taught the little girls very well. All right.

Our second brother is still so young. There is a big project to be built next year, and marrying a woman from a small official family will make it even better. In the words of your second grandson, the next one will be better! "

There is no reason for Father Hu not to agree to such a heart-to-heart talk. His son-in-law is more caring than his son, and he is also very kind to his daughter. Who doesn't envy him for having such a good son-in-law? !
"Why is your father uncomfortable, it's not about this, the second child's family will be broken up sooner or later.

Uncle, you don't know, ever since Niu Changshui and Niu Xi'er came to the capital, when your second brother came home, he had to wash his clothes by himself, and he couldn't eat a good meal.

On weekdays, I would rather stay on the construction site than go back to the village. My old woman, how many times have I said that people don’t use my mother-in-law as a dish, and this cow doesn’t drink water, so you can’t force your head down.

You said, it's okay for her to ignore this man, Xiao Chuan didn't even ask, and left him at your house.

Xiao Lian and Xiao He, I didn't say anything, they themselves detested it first, thought they were not boys, money-losing goods, and the children often screamed when they were hungry.

Confinement, I asked Laifu's family to wash her excrement and urine film every day, and stewed more than a dozen chickens. Tell me, how can this person be so heartless? "

Hei Wa could only comfort her mother-in-law again, and pulled out the two little ones, coaxing her father-in-law and mother-in-law to laugh.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner, Cuihua plans to eat beef and seafood.

Cuihua asked the women on the stove to wash out the ingredients that needed to be prepared, and then gave them a holiday, and went back to their respective yards to celebrate the festival with their families.

She also wanted to smuggle ingredients. This group of people was in the kitchen, so it was inconvenient to get in the way.

She doesn't plan to use the frozen seafood, and fishes a lot of fresh seafood from the sea.

All the fresh shrimps were peeled off, chopped into minced shrimp, added salt, a little starch and a three-piece set to remove fishy smell, stirred into mud, and then poured into a small bamboo tube that was cut in half.

It looks like a [-]-pound shrimp slippery, space sea shrimp slippery, who can resist the temptation?

A lot of large yellow croakers and cuttlefish were fished out, sliced ​​into pieces, and simply put into a meat grinder to make a puree.

Chop the pork fat into a puree and mix it with the fish. Add scallion and ginger, Shaoxing wine, salt, and pepper and beat clockwise vigorously. After stirring vigorously, grab the fish paste and beat it hard for a few times.

Pour water into the pot, and when small bubbles appear on the edge of the water, pinch the fish paste into balls of uniform size and put it in the pot, slowly boil the fish balls over low heat.

It was only on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month that Heiwa was in the slaughterhouse. Heiwa slaughtered the space black cattle. He took the tenderest sirloin and cut it into paper-thin slices. large plate.

But Cuihua's favorite is the chest, which is actually a piece of meat that protects the heart between oil, tendon and cartilage. The yield is small, and it is brittle after being cooked.

They saved the breasts of two whole cows, and they wanted to have a good time tonight.

Hand-beating beef balls is also indispensable. In the hands of Hercules Cuihua, this job is like playing. He can beat dozens of catties in an hour.

The beef balls cooked in two large pots can be frozen and eaten for a long time if they can't finish making tonight.

Afraid that the ingredients were not enough, Cuihua simply slaughtered a few Wenchang chickens. Although there was no coconut milk to go with it, the meat of this kind of hen that had been laying eggs for about a year was tender and cooked quickly.

For the Chinese New Year, it is always indispensable, who made her a big local tyrant who owns dozens of chickens!
Among the vegetarian dishes, in addition to bean sprouts, lotus root, radish, and cabbage heart, Cuihua also makes a lot of soy products: frozen tofu, bean paste, bean curd, yuba, etc., which are her husband's favorite.

The Yuan Mansion has a special table for eating hot pot. A hole was dug in the center of the round table, and a clay stove was left underneath for charcoal.

You don’t even need to add salt. For those with a strong taste, there are seasonings such as oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame paste, chili oil, chopped pepper, and minced garlic for dipping water.

There were two tables set up, beef balls and fish balls were boiled in the pot from the beginning, and each person had a bamboo colander, and they ate by themselves.

The four kids even sat on the children's dining chair made by the old Yuantou, and each of them had a big wooden plate in front of them, holding small spoons, and their mothers hurriedly served them meat.

Watching Heiwa and Cuihua demonstrate how to eat and how long it takes to cook, everyone is eager to try.

Yuan Laosan was so greedy that he drooled, and urged Lao Yuantou to speak quickly, ordering dinner.

Old Yuantou had been typing up a lot of manuscripts, and wanted to say a few words, but he was interrupted by his old son, and he forgot what to say, so he just gave him a bitter look, and said, "Then let's have dinner. "

Today, everyone ate very perfunctorily for lunch, just to wait for this meal. Who doesn't know that the sister-in-law made it, and it was delicious.

Pick up a large piece of thin beef slices, put it in the colander, the bright red beef instantly turns white, and rolls up, even the impatient people are satisfied with the speed of the meat, scoop up the meat, and put it back and forth. Wrapped in seasoning.

"Wow, this is too delicious!" Yuan Laosan expressed everyone's aspirations. Although looking at the plain water, it can be paired with this fresh and tender beef. After one bite, it is so fresh that the eyebrows fall off, and another bite, I want to ascend to heaven.

Xiao Wu ate so much that he couldn't lift his head, Cuihua used a large colander to blanch the meat for the two boys, and the food was so delicious, she ate meatballs when she was too busy, so she used every meatball for fear of swallowing them whole. The scissors cut in half.

These children don't need to dip the dish, they eat the original flavor directly.

Fan Qinghe had a good time eating beef for her son while she ate it herself. She also said to Cuihua, "Sister-in-law, the New Year's Eve dinner in your yard every year is my greatest expectation. No matter what you cook, it will be delicious."

No one in the room disagreed with this statement, and the three heads held up rice spoons, "Auntie, the meat is delicious, I want to eat a lot."

"Okay, be good three heads, let's eat slowly, don't worry, there is still a lot of meat. When the chicken legs are cooked, my uncle will give you chicken legs."

The three heads squinted happily, he loves chicken legs so much.

Xiao Liu quit. A chicken only has two legs. Usually, this is exclusive to him and Fifth Brother. He looked at Cuihua and didn't speak.

"Xiao Liu also wants to eat chicken legs? Today, my mother killed three chickens. There are a lot of legs. Everyone of you has a share."

"Mother, I need shrimp slippery, second prawn!"

"Finish what's on your plate first, and then Mom will iron it for you. Don't let your eyes get bigger than your belly, our family doesn't want to waste it!"

Xiaoliu just gave up. This guy's pixiu attribute is becoming more and more obvious. In his family, except for the twin brother Xiaowu, he is only the most generous to Cuihua. The big head and the second head want to coax people, it all depends on the mood, dad It's the last one.

Although they live in the Earl's Mansion together, the courtyard is so big, and the Fan family sisters don't like to come to their main courtyard on weekdays, so in Xiaoliu's mind, Santou and Sitou are just acquaintances.

No, he still has another generous object, that is, Cai'er. I don't know how this baby caught his eye. In Dali Village, he has given snacks to others, and he is willing to play with him when he brings it back to the mansion. .

The Jingzhao Mansion even asked Jian'er to ask him a question, and the kid finally understood that the older brother who had given him steamed buns and clothes a few times was not a good person, and was used by him to frame his two little masters.

The little man was very angry, and said that when he saw Niu Changshui, he would bite him to death.

This beef and seafood hot pot took a full hour to eat, and the average person ate more than half a catty of meat. Yuan Laosan bluntly said that this meal can last for three days.

When watching the new year, the old men and the young men set off more than 50 taels of firecrackers to welcome the new year with crackling and laughter.

The four great nuns also cooked seafood hot pot in the yard. Cuihua made a large portion, and the stewards in the mansion all shared a portion, and they also gave them a lot of good wine.

Mother Chun chewed the beef, and said happily: "I never thought that the days we go out of the palace are not worse than those in the palace. Sisters, let's meet one, every year there is today, every year today!"

A few people clinked glasses, drank the wine, looked at each other, and laughed heartily. How many of them, those who came out of the palace, can compare?
Little girls, cooking for the mothers and mothers, this has been adjusted, apart from the rules, eyesight is the first thing.

In the palace, New Year's Eve dinner is also a must, because this year the empress is pregnant, and it is not easy to repeat the old tune of the empress dowager, but people will always cause trouble.

"Emperor, you have to learn from the previous emperor's meeting. The emperor must not favor him exclusively, and he must be exposed to both rain and dew."

Xia Hongdi had a cold face and asked impatiently: "I have never heard that the emperor and empress of any dynasty have a good relationship and can be persuaded to go to the concubine's place. Empress, you are talking about this special, not the empress?"

The empress dowager of the Shangsheng was blocked by these words and was speechless, but the empress dowager, who had always been very non-existent, said:
"The harmony between the emperor and the empress is a blessing for me, sister, don't you think so? The daughter-in-law of the Ai family is generous and decent. The Ai family thinks that no one can compare to her, and now she is pregnant with a dragon heir. The emperor, you must treat her well."

"Son, remember, mother! In a few months after the new year, you may be able to hold your grandson!"

Seeing her mother's kindness and filial piety, the Empress Dowager Shangsheng couldn't help but want to throw a cup and leave the table. This little bastard has never put her in his eyes. Her face-saving woman actually dares to jump out and do right with her now.

If she hadn't been tugged at her sleeve by her confidant, she really couldn't control her temper.

Thinking about her next arrangement, she snorted coldly and remained silent. The family banquet was peaceful again, with singing and dancing, good food and wine, but her concubines didn't taste anything.

If you want to give the emperor a good look, they don't even look at them. The three nobles are like quails. What are their backgrounds? They don't dare to fight with these high-ranking concubines who were born as noble girls. in the palace.

I thought that after the empress was pregnant, they would also be able to pick up leaks and drink some soup, but the emperor went to the Kunning Palace the most besides staying in his own palace, and they didn't even have the right to be jealous. She was the first wife, the queen of the palace
