Chapter 168 Making green cakes on the first day of the new year 1 (second update)
After the New Year's Eve, the three uncles of the Xiao family returned home with their families.

The distance between Jijia Village and Xiaojia Village is not very far, and it takes only one or two 10 minutes by car.

On the first day of the new year in rural areas, people believe in not going out at home, or just family gatherings.

There are also many rules on the first day of the new year. First of all, the morning meal, besides being vegetarian, must be cooked by a man at home, and then the woman is asked to get up to eat
On the first day of the new year, you can't clean, you can't be noisy, you can't wash clothes and shoes, etc.

Xiao Jinli has followed such New Year's rules since he was a child.

The family is together, playing cards, sometimes, Xiao's father and Xiao Junxuan go out to play cards and mahjong with others, or people from the same clan come to Xiao's house to cook some special delicacies to eat.

For example, Xiao's mother is good at making green cakes, and everything is delicious.

Therefore, on this day, women from the same family will come and gather together to make green cakes.

This year, my aunt's family of three stayed at Xiao's house, and my grandparents went back with their three sons.

Their family, every first day of the new year, is a family gathering, so they have to go home, get together with relatives and friends, have a chat, and have a good time.

After breakfast, Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, Uncle Xiao, and Uncle Xiao all came at home.

On New Year's Eve, the three brothers of the Xiao family were supposed to spend New Year's Eve together. However, I heard that Xiao Jinli's three uncles and aunts also came here to celebrate the New Year. There were too many people, and they were all crowded together. The excitement was lively, but it was also quite troublesome.

Therefore, according to Grandpa Xiao, the three of them will go through their own families first, and then get together after the first day of junior high school.

"Master, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Aunt, you are all here!" Xiao Jinli greeted them with a smile when he saw them.

Granny Xiao looked at Xiao Jinli's cute appearance, squinted her eyes slightly, took out a big red envelope, and said with a smile, "My dear baby, after a year, I have grown up again. Come on, this is grandpa and grandma A big red envelope for you."

Xiao Jinli took the big red envelope, "Thank you grandma and grandpa, I wish grandma and grandpa good health!"

"Haha... my baby is sensible!"

Xiao Jinli looked at the servants and asked, "Auntie, Auntie, where are my cousins?"

The aunt said, "They came back late from playing cards last night, and they are still sleeping, don't care about them. Let's do ours first, and today we are making green cakes, what kind of stuffing do we want to eat, sauerkraut, dried radish, buckwheat from eggplant?"

Xiao Jinli said, "There are many people in the family, so these kinds of fillings must be made."

The aunt nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."

After all, the aunt and aunt went into the kitchen.

"Xiaofang, how much rice did you soak?" asked the auntie.

Xiao's mother said, "Well, I soaked two buckets of rice. There are many people, so I made more."

In previous years, everyone knew that she would make some snacks, and people from the village would come over from time to time. It seemed like there were a lot of things, but they couldn't bear the crowds.

"It has been beaten into rice milk, and it is about to be boiled in a pot."

"That's fine, I'll do it." After finishing speaking, the eldest aunt hurriedly took the shovel from Xiao's mother, and then poured it into the pot with a bucket of rice milk in one hand.

Because there is a lot of rice milk, it must be divided into two pots to stir and cook.

The so-called Qingbaba is to use green vegetable leaves or leeks, and soaked rice, and put them into a beater for beating, and the beating pulp will turn blue.

Mama Xiao used leeks.

Anyway, most people like leeks, and the aroma of her home's leeks is unique, and it's the best for making leather.

"It's so fragrant!" The aunt wrinkled her nose, "The leeks put in, second sister-in-law, this is really fragrant."

Xiao's mother said with a smile, "I think everyone loves to eat leeks, and it must be delicious when used to make paint."

Aunt Zai sniffed it and said with a smile, "Yes, it's very fragrant. It hasn't been cooked yet. After it's ready, I don't know how it tastes like."

My sister-in-law burns a fire in front of the stove and controls the heat. At the beginning, it needs a high fire, and then it must be a small fire, and then keep stirring. After the rice milk becomes cooked, then keep stirring until it becomes a ball. , you can start the pot.

Among the three sisters-in-law, one stirred the oatmeal, the other lit the fire, and Mother Xiao started frying the stuffing alone.

The stuffing has already been cut, the sauerkraut is pickled by Xiao's mother, the dried radish is dried by Xiao's mother, the buckwheat and eggplant are fresh vegetables picked from the field.

Since everyone likes spicy food, when sauerkraut, dried radish and buckwheat are fried, pepper is added, eggplant is not, so children's tastes must be taken care of, and many children do not eat spicy food.

"These fillings are delicious." The aunt smelled the aroma of the fillings and praised with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, we will never be able to match your cooking skills. Watching you cook, just do it casually. Fragrant. Look at me and my sister-in-law, according to your method, but the taste is not so good."

The aunt agreed very much, "Indeed. When Xiaofang was not married, besides her pretty looks, she was the most famous for her cooking skills. Haha, I remember that when my second uncle chased Xiaofang, it wasn't because of her looks. , but because of Xiaofang's culinary skills, and then stalking, and finally chasing Xiaofang to marry the second uncle."

"..." Mother Xiao said with a little embarrassment, "It's been a long history. Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."

This old almanac is told over and over every day.

"Haha, what's so embarrassing about that." The aunt jokingly said, "In these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know that the little bastard back then, in order to chase the beautiful woman back, stalked him every day, and finally got his wish. This No, after marrying you, my second uncle's naughty nature immediately subsided, he found a job, and earned money to support his family. I don't know how many people envy you."

Xiao's mother did not deny that since she married Xiao Wanshan, she has been in happiness.

This man is responsible and caring. He has never made her suffer any grievances, and has never made her suffer any fatigue except for giving birth.

The little aunt has heard about Xiao Wanshan's bastard behavior before marriage, and she still asks curiously, "Second sister-in-law, I heard that most of the men who chased you back then had better conditions than second brother, how did you choose second brother?" brother?"

Mother Xiao said with a little embarrassment, "Actually, I don't know why I chose Wanshan in the first place. It's just that among all the people who chased me, he was the most sincere and sincere. Many men who chased me, It’s nothing more than my prettier appearance.”

She has never regretted marrying Xiao Wanshan.

The three sisters-in-law chatted while working, and they were very harmonious.

At this time, Grandma Xiao came in and asked, "Is this papa ready?"

The aunt took a little from the pot into her mouth with her chopsticks, and then said, "There is still a little raw, so I need to stir it a few more times!"
