Spring is coming

Mo Jingchun sat on the threshold with his head propped up for three days, deleting, deleting, and revising, and finally decided on the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This was her first time making a banquet by herself, and it was a New Year's Eve dinner.There were eight people in the family, and she thought about how to make the banquet outstanding for several days.

She demands herself according to the standards of a cook. If the delicacies are from the mountains and seas, they can naturally support the scene, but the banquet must take into account both the location and the diners.This meal was eaten in Mojiacun, so she finally planned to use authentic ingredients from Shanye Farm to create a delicate taste.

Without expensive ingredients, we can only work hard on cooking skills and novel ideas.

There are a total of ten dishes on the menu she drew up, which also means perfection.

She took the list to Mo Qinglin and asked him to accompany her to buy all the vegetables she didn't have at home.

"Stewed mutton, stewed pig's feet with soybeans, dried duck, salted chicken, fish balls in chicken soup."

"Dry steamed duck," Mo Jingchun stared at him with disgust, "Uncle, you don't know as many words as Lu Ying."

"Oh oh oh, dry steamed duck." He automatically ignored Mo Jingchun's words of disdain for him. Seeing so many dishes that he couldn't usually eat, some of which he had never heard of, his mouth watered.

"We have live chickens and ducks at home. Let's go buy a fish, pork from Butcher Wang in the next village, and mutton from Butcher Li. What else?"

The good thing about farmers is that they can basically find side dishes and vegetables for you at home.

"No, let's go back early. It won't snow again soon." She looked at the sky, which was gray and had not cleared up since the snow stopped last night.

"Row."

Fortunately, they arrived early. If it had been later, the ribs would have been sold out, and the butcher will not be out on New Year's Eve tomorrow.

The snow in winter is the best ice cellar.

The purchased pork and mutton are wrapped in oil paper and frozen in the snow to keep them fresh to the greatest extent.

After disposing of the meat, Mo Jingchun went back to the house and had a good night's sleep.

She climbed out of bed early the next morning, washed up and was about to ask Mo Qinglin for help, but found that Mo He had already gotten up after hearing the sound of her washing up, rubbing his hands and standing in the yard waiting for her.

"Chun'er, sister-in-law, can I help you?" She rubbed her hands and smiled, taking the initiative to take the job.

"Okay." Mo Jingchun agreed after thinking about it, and did not call Mo Qinglin to save him from eating secretly again.

The two of them worked together to take out the pots and pans that were going to be used and clean them, and then put the ones that would be stewed for a long time in the pot first.

Kill two chickens, one for brine chicken and one for chicken soup.

Mo He squatted by the kitchen door and plucked chicken feathers. He poured hot water on it and a strong smell of chicken fat mixed with chicken feathers hit his face. The smell was not pleasant, but Mo He didn't frown. one time.

She spoke carefully and carefully, "Chun'er, last time you met Yingying, did she have anything to say to me?"

"No."

Mo Jingchun thought to herself, if Mo He knew that the other party only agreed to meet her after hearing that she was not coming, she would be very sad.

"Oh," Mo He was depressed for a moment, then cheered up, "We haven't been to that stall for a few days, are we going to do it after the Chinese New Year?"

"alley."

However, Mo Jingchun had another idea, "Sister-in-law, I will go with you next time. After the sales are completed, we will go see where there are shops for rent in the town and how much the monthly rent is."

"Are you going to rent a shop?" Mo He raised his head and glanced at Mo Jingchun's busy figure in front of the stove, and asked, "What are you selling? Or braised pork?"

"I want to open a foot shop for lunch and dinner. I can also set up a stall in front of the door and continue selling braised pork."

In this way, diners who used to love braised pork at her stall can bring some popularity back.

But when there was a store at that time, it was not limited to braised pork head meat, but also braised vegetables, such as fungus, bean curd skin, lotus root slices, etc.
She has a lot of ideas in her mind, and only by implementing them one by one can she be down to earth. "Then my sister-in-law will help you? It will also save money on hiring people."

Mo Jingchun laughed when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, how much monthly payment should I give you?"

"Just don't dislike my sister-in-law for being clumsy. What's the monthly payment? Ugh!" The family doesn't talk to each other, so Mo He doesn't care much about it anymore.

"That won't work," Mo Jingchun stopped and said seriously, "If you don't make money, how about you take Lu Bin to drink the northwest wind? Brothers have to settle the accounts clearly, sister-in-law, then I will give you more than other mothers-in-law. One percent.”

"Originally I wanted to ask you to save money, but now it's better. I'll take more rides in."

Seeing that Mo Jingchun didn't alienate her much, Mo He's expression became more relaxed.

"But you have to live in the shop now, right? You can't do that with the Bo family."

"Yes, I'm planning to make an agreement with Brother Bo in advance in the next two days to let him hire someone else." A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "We can't make him deprived of food."

While talking, chicken and duck feathers were plucked, a small clay stove was set up to cook chicken soup, and the soybeans used in the pig's trotters were soaked.

Next, she took out the pork and mutton that had been frozen in the ground last night. When freezing the mutton, she also threw a piece of tofu in just to make frozen tofu.

Frozen tofu is made from fresh tofu, which is filled with pores. After being cooked in meat soup, these pores absorb the umami flavor of the soup, and the texture is very smooth, which is very different from the flavor of water tofu.

She was going to put it in a lamb stew.

Then when I was making the fish balls, I found that there was a big fish head left. It would be too wasteful to throw it away, so I simply put the frozen tofu and Chinese cabbage in a casserole and stewed a pot of fish head soup.

When Bo Qingshan arrived, a large plate full of food was already placed on the table.

The Mo family's dining table is not that big, and it has an extra dish, so the bowls and plates are barely crowded.

He said: "So rich? Fortunately we didn't come empty-handed."

Then, as if by magic, he took out a box from behind his back, smiled at her and said, "Open it and take a look?"

Mo Jingchun took it as he was told, and opened it to reveal two pairs of flowers, one pair of beaded flowers, and the other pair of silk flowers.

Peach pink and bud yellow are the best colors for spring.

Her eyes lit up immediately: "Is this for me?"

"Otherwise, if you think Hang Sheng can wear it, you can give it to him."

With a smile in his eyes, Bo Qingshan took out another gadget - a slingshot, and said to Mo He, "This is for Bin'er to play with."

Mo Qinglin's eyes were hot, and he poked his head to the side. His eyes seemed to be asking: Where is mine?

Bo Qingshan deliberately said in a lazy tone: "Uncle Qinglin, I call you uncle. Have you prepared a New Year gift for me?"

Done!

Mo Qinglin shrank his neck, it was okay.

Mo Jingchun's smile became even brighter. Who allowed him to take advantage of others?

Seeing this, Mrs. Gao went back to her room and took out two empty red envelopes, but she didn't know how much New Year's money should be stuffed -

She gave two pennies to Chun'er and others just to have some idea, but would Bo Qingshan think it was too little?

If we stuffed more, we would have to treat several children equally, but that would be too much.

Mo Jingchun guessed that she was in trouble, so he came closer and whispered: "You don't need to pay attention to those things. People who are one or two or two will not look down on you. Just treat her like relatives in the village." (End of Chapter)
