Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 173, Chinese New Year 2
It's snowing, it's snowing, oh oh! "

When something happens, the kids are always the first to know.

The snow hadn’t melted last time, and it’s coming again. The winter in this era is really cold. The minus ten degrees is just an appetizer, and it’s always twenty or thirty degrees below zero.

However, Jiang Yan and his family installed heating, and the temperature inside the room was a full twenty degrees, and they were all wearing single clothes in the room.

The heavy snow was like goose feathers, and the sky and the earth turned into a piece of white in a short while. The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the snow fell at five or six o'clock in one fell swoop.It's getting dark too.

The New Year's Eve dinner tonight was quite rich, so rich that even Xu Damao didn't want to go home.

The first four cold dishes are braised beef, shredded ear with red oil, braised pork head, and fried peanuts.

After the cold dishes are served, there are ten hot dishes, which mean perfection, deep-fried hairtail, braised carp, nine-turn large intestine, three whites, Dongpo pork, hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, scallion oil Sea cucumber, tonight's finale is Buddha jumping over the wall.

Buddha jumps over the wall, a representative of Fujian cuisine well-known at home and abroad, known as the "No. More than 100 years ago, Fuzhou chef Zheng Chunfa was inspired by the practice of Shaoxing stewed dishes. It used nearly 30 kinds of ingredients and took more than 10 days.

This dish not only has the common meaty aroma of dozens of raw materials, but also maintains its own characteristics. It is rich in aroma, tender and delicious, and meaty but not greasy. When opening the altar, you only need to lift the lotus leaf slightly, and the intoxicating aroma of wine will come to your face.Such fine materials make this dish rich in soup, fresh and mellow, salty and sweet, meaty but not greasy, after eating, it will leave a fragrance on the lips and teeth, and the taste is delicious. It is really a Chinese dish. The best representative of the stew.

This dish was originally a representative dish of Fujian cuisine and was learned by the Tan family. After its own improvement, it became one of the ten representative dishes of Tan family cuisine.

The Buddha Jumping Wall made by He Yuzhu tonight is a simple version of Buddha Jumping Wall. Even if Jiang Yan has room, more than 30 kinds of ingredients are enough to gather the main ingredients.

This meal tonight would be considered a luxury even in future generations.

The staple food for Chinese New Year in the north is of course dumplings. Jiang Yan and his family have prepared three kinds of fillings for the dumplings, including vegetarian three delicacies, pork fennel, beef and scallions.

If you want to say who was most shocked by these dishes tonight, it is undoubtedly Qin Huairu who just came from the countryside.

Why did Qin Huairu come to He Yuzhu in such a hurry? It was because the countryside was so bitter that she didn't want to stay there for a day.

Otherwise, in the original book, Jia Dongxu would not have married Qin Huairu so easily.

At that time, land reform was carried out in the countryside, and every household was allocated a house.The People's Public Du, Brigade, and Production Team were established.Peasants have truly become the masters of the land.Their labor forms are plowing, harrowing, hoeing, and dustpan picking, mainly carried by people on their shoulders.Although there are homeowners and land, they still live a life of insufficient food and clothing, and the countryside is still very bitter.

This era is the era of planned economy, and administrative management is based on regions, counties, people's communes, large groups, and production teams.The land is collectively managed by the production team, and the daily labor must be arranged by the production team in a unified manner. One centimeter per day, one working day, 10 work points for men, and about 6 work points for women.When the season comes, the calculation will be unified and the grain will be distributed.

Back then, all the supplies people used were planned purchases.When buying cloth, there are cloth tickets, and when buying grain, there are food tickets.Things like oil, bicycles, etc. are planned supply.

People's old practice is: in the morning, in the morning, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the members of the production team hear the bell, the male and female members will go to the team's self-determined point to gather and obey the unified arrangement of the production team leader.

Manure pullers, plowers, seed sowers, pasters (smashing soil clods), fertilizer runners, pesticide handlers, manure collectors, grass cutters for livestock, manure raisers, plowers, shakers , those who lead livestock, those who lay down, those who water, those who mow grass, those who set up mills, those who drive carts, etc., there are all kinds of things.

At that time, farmyard manure was used in the fields, and things like chemical fertilizers had not been widely promoted. At that time, the level of agricultural production in rural areas was relatively low.Under normal circumstances, the landed grain per mu is about 400 to 500 catties.About 30 catties of seeds are left for each mu of land, and about 100 to 150 catties of public grain are handed over to the state per mu of land.

After handing over the grain, the grain distributed to the farmers was limited, and grain was a very precious thing. At that time, the main food was sweet potato and wild vegetables, boiled sweet potato, sweet potato noodles, sweet potato flour, etc., all of which were sweet potatoes, and they were eaten in different ways.After eating sweet potatoes with stomach acid, most of them have stomach problems, and they vomit acid water when they see sweet potatoes.It is really hard for me to find a quick way to take out the small amount of food to go with it. I also go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. I can’t buy vegetables a few times a year, and they are all dug on the mountains.Even so, it is enough to be full.

People who can go to the city to eat imperial food are very enviable in the village, and people are also working hard to stay in the city.

To put it bluntly, since Qin Huairu can remember, she has never dared to eat the stick noodles at home.

Qin Huairu, who just came from the countryside, has never seen such a battle before, and she swallowed when she saw the delicious food on the table.

In the past, during Chinese New Year in the village, there might not be a few slices of meat in a meat dish, and the meat was divided according to the head, and white noodle dumplings were even more abundant. Usually, Qin Huairu eats a few second and noodle dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Unlike now, hundreds of dumplings have been made this afternoon, and it seems that it is not a problem to eat from the first day to the fifteenth day of the junior high school.

It's freezing cold now, and there's a natural freezer outside. He Yuzhu and the others specially packed a few boxes and put them outside. Those chickens, ducks, fish and the like, including wrapped dumplings that have been frozen hard, are all put inside. , Just take it directly to the house when you eat it.

Qin Huairu felt like he was in heaven when he came to He Yuzhu's place a few days ago. Although He Yuzhu looks a little older, he is just a person who will love his wife.

Not only can I eat enough every day here, but the food is also very good, almost every meal has meat.

Qin Huairu also discovered a situation, He Yuzhu and the others seem to seldom eat stick noodles, and usually eat steamed buns made of Erhe noodles.

The white flour almost accounts for the vast majority of these Erhe noodle steamed buns, and it is probably a deception to put any stick noodles.

But the strangest thing is that their cornmeal is called cornmeal. Qin Huairu also asked He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu told him that their cornmeal is only ground from corn kernels.

On the second day of his arrival, he took him to the department store to buy several sets of clothes, and he was really dazzled by the things in the department store.If it wasn't for He Yuzhu pulling him, he wouldn't know which foot to take.

As soon as I came back today, I handed myself this month's salary. Good guy, it's a full 27.5 yuan.I heard Zhuzi say that this is still the salary of a tenth-level cook, and he will go to the assessment next year, and the salary will increase after passing the assessment and being promoted to a higher level.

Qin Huairu counted the money several times.It was carefully hidden.

I have never seen so much money when I grow up so big. I have worked hard in the countryside and can get more than ten yuan all the year round. It is a good year.

Seeing the food on this table now, Qin Huairu felt for the first time that her choice was not wrong, and her eyes on He Yuzhu became much softer.
