Peerless pastoral little green plum

Chapter 248 New Year's Eve (1)

"It's nothing, mother, I've marinated the meat, let's stew the chicken first, then fry the fish when the chicken is cooked, and then deep-fry the pork!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Wang Mudan had unknowingly regarded Yao Huahua as the pillar of the family.

After finishing speaking, she yelled out again: "Xianrou, is your fish kill okay?"

Yao Xianrou's voice came from outside: "It will be fine after scraping the fish scales, just wait for a while."

"Okay, then after you kill the fish, salt it first, oh, his father, don't you want to help light the fire? You can start the fire now."

"..."

Yao Xianrou was scraping fish scales by the well in the yard, and while he was scraping, his aunt also came to wash the vegetables.

The aunt looked at the fat and tender big grass carp in Yao Xianrou's hand, and couldn't help asking: "Xianrou, did you buy this fish?"

"Yes," Yao Xianrou didn't even raise his head, "My sister bought it."

"It's so big, how much is it?"

"It's more than two catties," Yao Xianrou responded.

"Then your family is quite rich this year, right? There are fish and meat, and a chicken, right?" the aunt said while swallowing.

"Yeah, auntie, your family is not bad, I saw that the rich brother and the rich brother bought a lot of good things from the county town," Yao Xianrou said.

"That's true," the auntie showed off while pumping water from the well: "Other people's family celebrates the New Year with chicken, duck and fish. Our family also has beef and mutton for the New Year. Er Fu brought back a leg of lamb from the yamen. You say it’s rare, but I heard that there’s no leg of lamb for sale in our town, only the county town.”

"It's strange," Yao Xianrou added casually.

"Haven't you guys ever eaten mutton? It tastes much better than pork. It's half fat and half thin. Although the taste is a bit stinky, as long as you add ginger and star anise pepper to remove the fishy smell, the taste is extremely delicious."

"Oh," Yao Xianrou had already scraped the fish scales, so he took the fish back to the kitchen to marinate first.

The eldest aunt scolded from behind: "Tch, don't think that you are rich if you eat fish, you have never eaten anything really delicious, a bunch of country bumpkins."

……

An hour and a half later, a large table of New Year's Eve dinner served by Yao Huahua was ready.

The chicken is cut in vain, but the offal chicken is used to make soup with winter melon, the fish is braised in soy sauce, with a layer of tomato sauce she made on top, it looks crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and there is fat but not greasy buckwheat. Mouth is all drooling.

But no one moved their chopsticks first, and they were all overwhelmed with excitement now.

Yao Tieshu spoke first: "Go, what did we have for our New Year's Eve dinner last year?"

Yao Xianrou swallowed his saliva, and said, "Looks like a small dish of chicken and a little bit of bacon, it's from Aunt Zhao's next door."

"Think, never imagined that this year will be, it will be so rich."

Wang Mudan was also very excited. She took two empty bowls and said, "I'll pack some fresh meat for my mother too. You can send some to grandma. By the way, send some pork to Aunt Zhao next door. Although there is no shortage of pork, I dare say that their braised pork is not as good as ours."

Yao Huahua was not afraid to deliver food to Ban'er's house. The two of them had always been in close contact. The more generous she was, the less people would gossip.

Just as he was about to take the meat away, Ban Er came first.

"Second Uncle Yao, Second Aunt Yao, Hua'er, fresh meat, my mother asked me to bring you some pork ribs, fried, delicious," Ban'er put a bowl of pork ribs on the table of their house, and glanced at them again. A glance at Yao Huahua.
