Mrs. Liu had heard many words of appreciation, but she still felt very happy after hearing them. Seeing that Zhou Banxia was gradually buying less, she knew that the old daughter-in-law was afraid of being in the limelight and attracting Xiaoxiao.

Not only is this child irresistible in how he treats others, he also always keeps things in check and keeps things under control in a very measured manner.

Zhou Banxia didn't know that her mother-in-law was praising her in her heart again, so she felt that she had spent almost one or two silver, which was fine. It was hard to get it if she bought too much.

After all, it's not in a shop. You can just ask the store owner to send someone to the car shop. It really doesn't take three people to carry it around shopping.

Besides, she had to go to the market later. She had already thought about it. Although these snacks were not necessities, they were seasonal, so they were the most available during this period.

You still have to replenish the space, and you still have to stock up if you can’t finish all the food. It's better to fill it up when you go to the market for shopping, it will make you happy just thinking about it.

When we got home at one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Daya and his wife were still in the backyard with Aunt Cai and the others making pancakes, but Zhou Banxia did not disturb them.

Her eldest sister and her husband are not usually diligent. If she dares to let them take a break, they will be talked about endlessly, and she is not allowed to talk back.

In the past two days, she saw that the amount of food they produced was more than double what they had done before. She said there was no need to work early in the morning and stay late at night, as her health was important.

It's over.

He was sprayed before he finished speaking.

Why is this kind of work called busy work? I'll let you go down to the ground tomorrow to take a look. Why, take a look, my sister and I both have double chins. Third sister, you can't do this.

The couple kept singing and singing together, but they refused to let her go or work. They talked about it until Xuanzi came back to rescue her after attending cram school, and the whole family laughed like crazy.

It's just that tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and her eldest sister and her family of four have to go back to celebrate the festival. Taking advantage of the early return today, Zhou Banxia hurriedly went to change clothes.

Inside the kitchen.

The frozen ice of pork, pig bones, pig heads, pig trotters, pig offal, chickens and ducks entrusted to Majia Zhuangzi's long-term workers in the morning has melted.

Originally, these things had been cleaned before they were delivered. For example, the long-term workers in Majia Zhuangzi who specialize in raising livestock and selling wild game have a good idea of ​​how to clean pig waste.

It doesn't take much effort to wash them again. Separate the pork heads and pig offal to be braised into baskets and baskets to drain, ready for blanching later.

Ma Shan, who was pregnant and still restless, helped to light the fire. Zhou Banxia began to make soup stock with pork bones and chicken, and then prepared the seasoning package with the marinade recipe.

Ma Shan saw a table full of packages of spices spread out.

This is something from star anise, pepper, cinnamon and tangerine peel, and that is something from cumin, cloves, vanilla, amomum villosum, etc. Her head was pounding when she heard it, and she quickly shouted to stop.

Zhou Banxia was so happy that he stopped teasing her and used a small stone mill to grind the seasoning into powder. He picked up a gauze bag that had been sewn in advance and took out another gauze bag.

In a small pot, I started to stir-fry the sugar and boil the syrup. Although I haven't done it for a long time, Ma Shan started the fire, and the heat was well controlled. The syrup will not stick to the pan.

Cut the ingredients that need to be braised into pieces, blanch them in another large pot, take them out and rinse them with clean water, put them in a basket and drain them.

After the soup is boiled, put it into the seasoning bag, put the drained ingredients to be marinated together and bring to a boil over high heat. Just as it is boiling, switch to low heat to stew, Mrs. Liu comes in.

"I just said, why are there people here? What are you doing?"

Ma Shan laughed.

"Be careful, belly." Zhou Banxia was too frightened to reply first, "Mom, I want to braise some meat to try. Sister-in-law, I need to change the heat to a low heat."

"I heard, how long will it take before we can eat it?" "It's not that fast. If you want it to taste good, you have to soak it for at least two hours." Zhou Banxia cruelly told Ma Shan the truth and waited for the syrup to be poured in for color.

Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law who was swallowing her saliva, Mrs. Liu burst out laughing, "Did Sanya tell you how delicious it is first and then deliberately only say it will take two hours now?"

"No, mother, tell me whether she is bad or not. She also said that she picked out all the spices that I can't eat and kept them. I still want to eat them after I eat them. Ahhhh, I smell the fragrance, it smells so good!"

Frightened, Zhou Banxia almost subconsciously threw the wooden pot lid over, quickly poured in syrup for coloring, added salt to taste, and immediately covered the pot lid.

"It smells so good."

"Are you ready, Sanya?"

"It takes at least two hours to soak."

"Really, it's too slow."

"You still didn't hear clearly. Sanya said she wanted to soak it for two hours if she wanted to taste it?" Madam Liu pulled her eldest daughter-in-law up in a funny way and sat down in front of the stove to light the fire.

Ma Shan rolled her eyes and reached out to scratch the itch, "Sanya!"

"I was wrong, dear sister-in-law." Zhou Banxia, ​​the eldest pregnant woman, quickly begged for mercy, "I didn't make it clear. Let's simmer it slowly over low heat for an hour. I'll pick out some for you to taste first, and leave the rest for you." Let’s simmer them slowly without taking them out of the pot. Let’s try them one by one to see which one tastes best, okay?”

"Poof!" Ma Shan couldn't help laughing, "Mom, did you see it? Ever since I got pregnant, Sanya has treated me like a long lock."

"That's good. She doesn't feel sorry for you. She bought a lot of snacks and said that she would eat and play while you were healthy. Mom didn't have your aunt and uncle to coax her at that time.

Don't talk about coaxing, I'm hungry, your father bought me some food, your aunt went to complain to your mother, if your father hadn't scolded her, she would have dared to rob me.

Mom still remembers that when she was just pregnant with Erlang, her body felt the most uncomfortable. She always felt sleepy and had no energy. She was young and didn’t understand anything at that time. Your mother said that I was lazy.

I was so aggrieved that I didn't even dare to cry. If your father saw me crying, your father would definitely not be able to bear it. When we started arguing, he would accuse me of stirring up trouble behind my back.

One time I was so sleepy that I almost fell into the river when I was washing my things. Your eldest grandma grabbed me by the side and saw that I was happy.

Your father was not at home at that time, and Doctor Dong had not yet come to our village. Your eldest grandma immediately asked the eldest daughter-in-law to send someone to ask for the doctor. The doctor said that the child was destined to die.

Your aunt still said that I--" Ms. Liu shook her head laughing at herself, "Why did you also talk about those things about old millet and rotten sesame seeds? You should take good care of yourself and give me a voice. "

"it is good!"

The two sisters-in-law, who spoke in unison, looked at each other, and Zhou Banxia motioned to Ma Shan to speak.

"Mom, don't worry. Not to mention that Sanya doesn't know how to be lazy or slippery. Even if she does, I am the sister-in-law. I should protect her and not let outsiders laugh at us."

Regardless of how sincere the eldest daughter-in-law's words are at this moment, whether she can keep her words in the future, Ms. Liu is already very satisfied with what she can hear now.

"Sanya?" Ma Shan turned her back to Mrs. Liu and blinked.

With father-in-law and mother-in-law who understand people's hearts so well, why should she say it? Zhou Banxia laughed and said, "Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success. These eight words are also given to me as a gift to you."

"No hanging books from bags."

"Okay. Listen, I'm the only sister-in-law who protects me like you. I will cherish you, protect you and love you, and won't let you be cold or hungry..."
