Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 83.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this year the Lin family is all here, but because Zhang Man's mother and son live at home, I discussed with the old Zhou's family, and the two families will come to the Lin family to celebrate the New Year. After all, Zhang Man's mother and son cannot move easily. .

A few days before the new year, it snowed heavily in the sky again. This winter seems to be extraordinarily cold. The wind outside is biting, but the house is warm. Lin Qingxi stuffed enough firewood in the kang of each house enough.

Early in the morning on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Qingxi and Xu Linliu got into the kitchen to get busy. Xiang Yijing took the initiative to go into the kitchen to light a fire for them. Lin Qingpingliu took Lin Yizheng and three brothers to deal with them in the yard yesterday. A roe deer, a pig and ten or twenty pheasants and hares were brought down from the mountain.

"Little sister, we have celebrated a reunion year this year. In the past few years, your brother and I were in the army. We all had reunion dinners with everyone in the cafeteria. It was quite lively. After the meal, everyone chatted. We will go back to our respective homes in the next day," Xu Lin smiled and looked at Lin Qingping and the others in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, didn't my brother say that he plans to become a professional? Then see if he can come back to celebrate the New Year with us, or I can bring Yizheng and the others to visit you for the New Year," Lin Qingxi said indifferently, and the family Everyday is New Year's Eve when people are together.

"That's a good relationship. Your brother meant that. I don't know if the army will let him go. It's more likely that someone like your brother will stay in the army." Xu Lin shook her head. She didn't have much hope for her husband's professionalism. .

"Come on depending on the situation! Sister-in-law, to eat dumplings tomorrow morning, you should mix the noodles first. After my brother finishes handling the roe deer, we will make dumplings filled with roe deer meat and make more meat buns to freeze. If you want to eat Eat it when it's time to eat," Lin Qingxi said as her hands became more and more agile.

"Okay, little sister, do you want to send something to the next door?" Xu Lin pointed to the Zhou family next door. Logically speaking, it should be the Zhou family who sent the things, but the Zhou family's situation is special, and Zhou understands that people don't understand. at home.

"Send it! Let Yizheng send a pheasant and a hare over later, cut a piece of wild boar meat of about five catties and two catties of roe deer meat and send them over. We will keep the rest of the roe deer meat for ourselves, and I will let my brother Cut four pieces of six catties of meat and send them to the uncle, second uncle, aunt, and the Zhang family, and I will leave the rest of the meat to marinate, and then I will bring some of it to the army for you to eat."

Listening to Lin Qingxi's words, Xu Lin felt warm in her heart. In fact, they are really not short of food and clothing in the army. After all, they are people who will go to the battlefield at any time. How could the country lose to them? It's just that the food is not so good. That's all.

"You should also save some meat to eat. The four children are still growing, and you have to eat too. Don't lose yourself," Xu Lin shook her head. Small, but sophisticated.

"I know, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me," Lin Qingxi said nonchalantly. There is too much food in her space, and she is not a person who will treat herself badly.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law talked and laughed and made lunch. The lunch was relatively simple. They stewed a chicken and boiled noodles, and then fried a plate of capers and spicy rabbit meat.

After lunch, the four of Lin Qingping continued to deal with wild game. Lin Qingxi drove Xu Lin and Xiang Yijing to the main room to make dumplings and buns, and stayed in the kitchen alone to prepare the evening reunion dinner.

Lin Qingxi first took out the fish from fishing two days ago and the meat from slaughtering pigs. Because Lin Qingping went to help, the fish was divided into three large ones, and the meat was divided into five catties. She also spent extra money I bought two big stick bones and a piece of lean meat that weighed two catties.

Five catties of pork belly and fish were marinated with salt before, so this time there is no need to put salt in the willow. Lin Qingxi put the marinated fish and pork belly on a hemp rope and hung them on a bamboo pole on the stove. These are made into cured fish and bacon Save it for next year.

Da Banggu stewed soup for Zhang Man yesterday, and Jin Dahua of the old Zhou family also brought over two pig’s trotters and two ribs, both of which were stewed by Lin Qingxi for Zhang Man to drink. It's just for lunch.

Lin Qingxi hung up the fish and meat, and hung up ten rabbits by the way. The pheasants were kept in the chicken coop, and the stewed soup was reserved for Zhang Man to drink. After all, she needed to nourish her body now.

Soon, people from the old Zhou family came over, and the courtyard of the Lin family became even more lively. The men were all looking for work in the courtyard, and the women also split up. Sun Damei and her two daughters-in-law helped Lin Qingxi in the kitchen, while Zhou Jinshi chatted with Zhang Man in the room.

"Second sister-in-law, you and your two sister-in-laws are responsible for getting out the staple food for the evening. As for the dishes, I have prepared almost all of them. What shall we eat as a staple food?" Lin Qingxi was not polite when she saw that sister-in-law Sun came in with her two daughters-in-law.

"What's there? Steamed buns or noodles?" Aunt Sun asked with a smile. Everyone is neither picky nor can they be picky eaters. They eat whatever they have.

"Then let's make meat buns? There's still some roe deer meat left, and I'm cutting pork belly into pieces, so how about making buns stuffed with sauerkraut and meat?"

Lin Qingxi thought about what she had at home, and there was no shortage of meat, white flour, black flour, and corn flour, which Lin Qingping bought from the black market a month ago, and Zhou Mingyi also sent them home during this time Several times the food was fine grains such as white flour, cornmeal and rice.

"Okay! I'll adjust the stuffing and ask your two sister-in-laws to knead the dough. We'll make some mixed noodles made of black flour and corn flour, and we're making some mixed noodles made of corn flour and white flour. Do you think it's okay?"

Aunt Sun asked, her niece asked them to come over for dinner, but she didn't let them bring food, so she could only start from other aspects. If she asked her niece to do it, she would probably make flour.

"Okay, the second concubine can just look at it." Although Lin Qingxi wanted to make all white noodles, she also knew that the old Zhou's family would not agree, so she didn't mention it.

"Okay," Sun Damei nodded, smiled heartily, and began to prepare the staple food. She also knew where the Lin family's cellar was, so she just went down to get the food and cooked it. Lin Qingxi didn't care about her, and was busy with herself. stand up.

She cut the vegetables that should be cut, put them in a basin on the table next to the stove, and then emptied the chopping board there for Zhang Chunli's sister-in-law to make stuffing for buns.

Lin Qingxi took out the meatballs, meatballs and fish fried in the morning from the cupboard and put them on the stove. She first cut the chicken into pieces and put them in the earthen pot, then put two slices of ginseng in it, and put the earthen pot The stove started to simmer on low heat, and on the stove, she also started to steam vegetables.

Before steaming the vegetables, Lin Qingxi fried the preserved vegetables and put them under the soup bowl, and put the braised pork slices on top, then fried the steamed fish soup and poured it on top of the fish. Lin Qingxi mixed the fish and Put the pickled meat with pickled vegetables in the cage drawer, and then put the cage drawer in the back pot to steam, and the front pot is used to stew the meat.
