Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 74 74. Eating Mutton

"Okay, I know you brothers are filial. We have lived in the eldest brother's house for a long time, so we should also live in the second child's house," Zhou Dajiang's wife, Zhou Jinshi, said decisively. She is a sensible person. The old lady is also a wise old lady. Zhou Daye's wife, Xiao Zhou Jinshi, is a cousin who gave birth to five clothes.

"Mom," Zhou Guitang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but she stared back at her. It was Zhou Guitang's wife, Zhou Sunshi, who said that it was okay for parents to stay at the second child's house for a while, and then come back when they have lived enough. The house was reserved for them, so Zhou Guitang calmed down.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Guitang took his old wife and eldest son's family back, and Da Jin's family followed. She had to pack up the clothes of the old couple, and then asked the eldest grandson to send them to the second son's house. After all, they will live in the second son's house in the future.

Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Daye chatted about homework, and the others naturally did not leave behind. They inserted a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere in the main room was very harmonious and friendly. Da Zhou Jin’s family (hereafter called Grandma Zhou, and Xiao Zhou Jin’s family) Grandma Zhou) After about half an hour, she brought Zhou Mingfa and his son, that is, Zhou Guitang’s son and grandson, to the second room of Zhou’s house with their own and his wife’s luggage. After putting down the luggage, Grandma Zhou took the eldest grandson He hurried home with his great-grandson, and went to the Lin family by himself.

Lin Qingxi did not participate in the chatting of the elders, but went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. As for Zhou Mingming and Lin Qingping, Lin Qingxi had to send them to hunt in the mountains.

There wasn't much meat left in the cellar. The air-dried chicken and rabbits I saved before were all eaten, and only the wild boar left over from the three wild boars hunted a few days ago remained.

Although there is a lot of meat in her space, Lin Qingxi does not intend to reveal the existence of the space. In order to have meat to eat next, she can only send Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming out to hunt.

Lin Qingxi took out the three marinated pig heads from the cellar, as well as the remaining pork offal, ribs, and bones. Lin Qingxi cut up the pork head meat and pig offal, and went to pick them from the private plot in the backyard. Bring back some peppers, green onions and ginger, wash them and cut them up for later use.

Then, Lin Qingxi took three radishes and three potatoes from the cellar, two cabbages, and five catties of cornmeal.

When she came to the kitchen, Lin Qingxi mixed the cornmeal first, put it aside to wake up the noodles, and then went to prepare the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, help me chop these spare ribs into pieces, chop the big stick bones in half, and then cut up the green onions, ginger and peppers. I'll go and deal with the leg of lamb. How about we have leg of lamb tonight?"

Lin Qingxi specially took out the leg of lamb that was saved for the Chinese New Year. Anyway, Lin Qingping can stay at home for a while, so he can go hunting in the mountains, and the family is not afraid that there will be no meat to eat.

"Okay! You do it! I'll help you," Xu Lin was self-aware, knowing that her cooking skills were not as good as her younger sister's, and she didn't plan to be a cook, but it was still possible to help her.

With Xu Lin's approval, Lin Qingxi dug out the leg of lamb from the snowdrift in the yard, and took out a few lamb ribs. After cleaning, Lin Qingxi chopped the leg of lamb into pieces and put it in the water first. Then brush the pan and pour the oil, put ginger slices and stir-fry the mutton, then pour the hot water in the copper pot into it and start stewing the mutton directly.

After the mutton was stewed, the big stick bone was not going to be eaten at night, but Lin Qingxi planned to stew it on the coal stove before going to bed at night, and cook noodles for eating tomorrow morning.

After Lin Qingxi stewed the mutton for more than half an hour, she threw the chopped radishes into the pot and continued to stew. After telling Xu Lin to watch the fire, she went to work in the cellar.

Because Lin Qingping and Xu Lin also went down to the cellar, she didn't dare to take out the food in the space to make up for it, so she went down to see how much food was left in the cellar this time, and whether they could finish the New Year's Eve, if not enough I have to go to the city to make up for the food.

Lin Qingxi checked the food in the entire cellar one by one. There are still a lot of dried vegetables, and then there are coarse grains. There are not many fine grains. There are less than ten catties of white noodles, only three or four catties of cornmeal, and only a dozen or so eggs. , There is also a pack of dried noodles, all in packs of one catty.

Then there is meat, only the wild boar hunted a few days ago, the air-dried chicken and the air-dried rabbit are all eaten, and then half a fan of lamb and a few lamb chops are left in the snowdrift in the yard, and then there are five bottles of chili sauce There are three bottles of mushroom sauce, which is also a bottle of two catties, five bottles of meat sauce and jam, and a bottle of two catties. The rest are dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, red dates and other non-staple foods.

Lin Qingxi went up after tidying up the cellar. After she went up, she washed her hands and went to see how the stewed mutton was doing. As soon as the lid was lifted, the smell of the meat came out. She rubbed it with chopsticks, and it was already stewed. , but before it reaches the point where the bone is removed, it is planned to be stewed.

Lin Qingxi and Xu Lin made the cornmeal steamed buns, and put them directly on the steamer in the back pot. There were few people eating at night, and the space on the three-tiered steamer was more than enough.

While the steamed buns were steaming, Lin Qingxi came to the coal stove, turned on the coal stove, scrubbed the small iron pan, and fried the marinated pork head meat and peppers together, and then put the peppers in the pig's large intestine and pig's lungs. After frying in a pot, the pork heart and liver were sliced, served with some sauce and placed on the side.

After brushing the pot again, Lin Qingxi fried the cabbage and shredded potatoes. She checked the time, it was already past five o'clock, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark, so she quickly called Lin Yizheng and his brothers over to serve the dishes , Let Xiang Yijing and his siblings set the table and chopsticks.

In the evening, no matter how few people are there, two tables are set up, one table for adults and one table for children alone. There is no room for sitting at one table, so it is much more relaxed to sit at two tables. One table is in the main room, and the other table is directly placed in the kitchen. Adults and children are very happy to eat.

"This mutton stew is authentic, it doesn't smell bad at all, girl Xi, how did you do it?"

In the main room, Zhou Daye and Zhou Dajiang ate the most. The mutton was stewed off the bone, and they ate it without any effort, and the others also ate happily.

"It's just stewed like this. Blanch it first and then stew it. It's fine if you stew it for a longer time. If it tastes better, eat more. There are a lot of children at the table, and this pot is ours," Lin Qingxi said while eating, She likes to eat lamb most in winter.

Hearing what she said, everyone immediately let go and ate. Anyway, the children had enough to eat, so they could eat a little more. Usually, it was rare to have a little meat at home, and it was hard to bear some meat. The children nourish their bodies, so most of the people present have not eaten meat for a long time.

After dinner, Lin Qingping, Lin Yizheng and his son took the first and second bedrooms of the old Zhou family back home. The Zhou family next door went back by themselves because the road was not far away, and they didn't ask them to.
