No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 747 Family
Finally, they made salted pork, smeared the spiced coarse salt on the pork, and then air-dried it. Because Qin Jingru also saw that her cousin was a nerd, and she was so slow in arranging housework that she wanted to hit someone. If she really relied on her, she would not be able to expect anything.

But Ou Mengmeng didn't feel like she was doing anything wrong. She felt that she was teaching her children how to make choices. Anyway, her children were quite decisive.

Qin Jingru was too lazy to pay attention to her. She thought it was because she was irresponsible and letting her children make choices was actually passing the responsibility to them. The child has to become decisive. Therefore, the success of your children in the future has nothing to do with you. It is because they find that their mother is actually useless.

Ou Mengmeng thought about it, and it seemed that she was the same. She gave the children autonomy, but in fact she didn't want to be responsible. She wanted the children to make their own choices. In the end, she was the one who supported it. In the end, the children were actually very upbeat and didn't let her take the blame. It’s also quite lonely.

Watching them make salted pork, Ou Mengmeng thought it still looked like southern bacon, but it was different. Southern bacon was rubbed with salt and put in a vat and pressed with heavy objects, so northerners thought the meat had a flavor. The northern method feels a bit like maturing later. Seal the meat with plenty of cooked salt and hang it in a ventilated place to dry, but not that dry. And because they store it and eat it slowly, they keep it in a ventilated place to dry.

The best thing about the Qin family is that they have a platform, and they even built a half-person-high brick barrier. Ou Mengmeng and his family would put their things under the guardrail to hide them from others. In fact, you can also dry meat in the backyard, but Qin Jingru and the others think it is a vegetable field, which is inconvenient. Of course, there is also a wall across the opposite side, and you can see it when you stretch your head. Everyone can't even eat enough, but your family can still dry meat. Isn't this right? Insert a knife into someone's heart?

Moreover, after their family raised sheep, rabbits, and chickens, this resentment became even greater, so why bother annoying others. So while marinating the meat, he also marinated a rabbit, which made Ou Mengmeng feel a little scary. However, she shut up.

The Qin family's New Year's dinner is held at noon on the 30th, so that after the meal, Jingru can catch the car back. Just in time to go home for dinner.

The dishes on the Qin family's table were quite sumptuous, including a small bowl of braised pork, two pieces each for the deaf old lady and Aunt Jia, and a white-flour steamed bun as a courtesy to them. One was the ancestor of the courtyard, and the other was. Banggan kissed grandma, and there wasn't much meat in the bowl. Otherwise, with Ou Mengmeng's temperament, she wouldn't have given her only two pieces. However, the braised pork in the north is really different from the braised pork in the south. The braised pork in the north is only the size of a mahjong tile, unlike the braised pork in the south which is at least an inch square. It is braised thoroughly and needs to be square when laid out. Therefore, if you cut more than a kilogram of meat into more than ten pieces and divide it up, you can ensure that four people can eat two pieces each.

As they said before, one rabbit and two are eaten. The oil used to roast the rabbit slices with green onions is the oil from the braised pork. Because the rabbit has no oil, it is just right to use the fat from the roasted meat to roast the rabbit meat, and the rabbit meat will also look delicious. Full of oil and water. And the rabbit head and bones are made into soup. There is nothing else added, just ginger slices. Before putting it on the table, beat out the soup, add some meaty bones, and some Chinese cabbage, and it will be a very sincere bowl of soup.

Hairtail is the same in the north and south, but now the oil is based on tickets, so it is impossible to open the oil pan for deep-frying. It can only be pan-fried in thin oil. To suit the occasion, before frying the hairtail, I also pan-fried a few multigrain meatballs. Add some minced multigrain steamed buns to the meat filling, adjust the flavor, make large meatballs, and pan-fry in small pieces of oil. Once the shape is set, it is steamed in a steamer, and then thickened and poured with sauce using the traditional method of Sixi meatballs. When put on the table, it looks very attractive.

There was also a big bag of broken limbs and limbs brought back by Banggeng. Qin Jingru made most of this into sauce and put it in the cellar. He carefully removed the meat from a small part. Stir-fried with their soaked dried vegetables, it has a great flavor. Fortunately, his family has his own kitchen, and the kitchen even specially placed a flue next to the stove. Otherwise, the aroma would really make the children next door want to cry. Looking at it this way, it can be seen that Mr. Yan has made full preparations for opening a restaurant. Big pots and stoves are prepared, and the flue for oil fumes is also ready. It shows how meticulously people think about it.

Then she fried a sweet potato leaf and made six dishes and one soup. The sweet soup was a canned fruit. Although Qin Jingru felt that Ou Mengmeng was too extravagant and there was no way to use canned fruit as a sweet soup. Ou Mengmeng didn't care, she just said that it was not for others to eat.

Even the little Sophora japonica got half a bottle of sweet water mixed in. Of course, boiling water was added to her sweet water just to let her have a taste. Banggan and Xiaodang had never seen such a New Year's Eve dinner. When it was put on the table, they both dared not use their chopsticks. They felt like they couldn't believe it.

In fact, Qin Jingru also felt that it was a bit wasteful for her cousin to do this. No matter how good the New Year's Eve dinner was, it was too much. There is only one pure clear dish. There are only a few people in the family, but they still do so much. She can guarantee that when she returns to the countryside, the family dinner in the countryside will not be better than this. But seeing that the children were so happy, she forgot about it, because her cousin earned it herself. What does it matter if she feeds her own children better?

"Mom, is this our family's New Year's dinner?" Xiaodang sat next to Ou Mengmeng and carefully pulled Ou Mengmeng's skirt.

"Of course, come, let's respect auntie together and thank her for doing such a good job. Thank you for your hard work." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly picked up the goat's milk and faced Jingru.

"Thank you, auntie. Thank you for your hard work, auntie." Banggeng and Xiaodang hurriedly raised the small cups high.

"I'll take this." Jingru smiled, raised the cup, took a sip, and gave each person a piece of meat to taste. It tasted good. They didn't have rock sugar to fry the sugar color, and then used Ou Mengmeng in I read it in the book and used the southern method, using canned water. Although the color is not as beautiful as the color of sugar, it is full of flavor. Then I raised my glass and said to Ou Mengmeng, "Thank you, mom, for working so hard. That’s why we have such a rich New Year’s Eve dinner.”

"I'll take this too, so you see, if you work hard, you will be rewarded." Ou Mengmeng also smiled, took a sip of milk, cut the meatballs, dipped them in juice, and put them into the bowl for the three of them. Think about it, raise your glass to Banggeng, "Thank you for this glass, Banggeng. Really, you are the little man in the family. Without you, I would go to the market to pick up these shrimps, soldiers and crabs and we would come back. Our health would not be so good. I would not be a good mother." , it’s nothing but a hindrance to you; and you have to do so much housework every day, take care of your sister, and still maintain such good grades, so you are really great.”

"That's right, there are really no such good children, and this aunt also respects you." Qin Jingru hurriedly raised his glass to the stick.

Banggeng's face turned red, but it was obvious that he was very happy. He was busy holding the cup with both hands and looked excited.

"And me, and me." Xiao Dang hurriedly raised his glass and looked at his mother and aunt eagerly.

"Well, Xiaodang is very good. He helps his aunt, his brother takes care of himself and his sister, and tries not to let the adults worry. He also helps his aunt take care of his younger brother and sister in the nursery, so Xiaodang is also the best sister." Ou Mengmeng was busy and also increased the intensity of blowing the stick.

I worked overtime at work and just came home. I really didn’t want to work overtime, but my colleagues in the office were all overtime, so even if they didn’t tell me, I was too embarrassed to leave directly. Therefore, people really can’t be too shameless.
