Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 229

Early in the morning, even the Fangzhou family got up, dressed in bright new clothes, talking and laughing constantly.

After breakfast, I began to paste Spring Festival couplets and hang red lanterns. In a twinkling of an eye, every household, because of the red lanterns hung, the red couplets pasted, the characters of blessing and the New Year pictures, looks different from the usual, and looks at the special festivities.

Usually after breakfast and Spring Festival couplets, we start to make new year's Eve dinner. The new year's Eve meal is usually eaten earlier than usual. At the end of Shenshi in the afternoon, people will eat it. After eating it, adults and children will join in and play. The village will become very lively.

Although I started to prepare early, today's meal takes a lot of time because there are so many dishes to cook and they are so exquisite. The whole family is busy in and out, talking and laughing.

As for tonight's dishes, Lian Fangzhou and grandma Sangu had discussed several days ago: Stewed leg of yellow sheep, steamed sausage, sweet and sour carp, steamed pork with dried vegetables, stewed chicken with dried mushrooms, stewed ribs with sauce, fermented tofu, fermented winter melon, prepared several kinds of vegetables, cabbage, yam, beancurd, vermicelli, pork liver, pork loin and lean meat, and planned to cook leg of yellow sheep in the soup at night, Eat while scalding, or the food will be cool in winter.

Carp was wrapped in flour and put into the oil pot last night. They had to pay homage to the whole chicken before cooking. When they killed pigs the day before yesterday, they left a piece of the best streaky pork for cooking. At that time, they washed it clean and salted it. After that, they put it into the pot and cooked it in whole piece. Then they put honey on the skin and put it into the oil pot. After several times of tossing, the whole meat was basically nothing It's so fat and oily. It's crispy and meat pine. Today, cut it into pieces and put it on the bottom pad. It's fragrant when steamed.

The stuffing for brewing tofu and wax gourd is now mixed. Lian Fangzhou and grandma Sangu have made three kinds of stuffing, two of which are yellow mutton and plum meat as the main ingredients, with a little chopped leek and celery, and the other is vegetable vegetables such as cabbage, vermicelli and beancurd bamboo as the main ingredients.

Even Fang Zhou and her third aunt were busy. Even Fang Qing came and went to help from time to time. Only ah Jian, who never touched the kitchen, fed the cows and donkeys and then baked a fire in the room and looked at them with a smile.

After honoring the ancestors, he began to cook. He chopped the whole chicken, fished the whole fish in the oil pan again, and then fished it out to make sweet and vinegar. He pickled the sauce ribs and waited for the next pot. The leg of mutton had already been stewed, and the fermented tofu had also been fried. The stewed winter melon and Meicai pork were steaming in the pan.

When all kinds of dishes are ready and firecrackers are set off, you can be ready to eat.

Lianhai came again and said "Happy New Year" with a smile. He talked and laughed with lianfangzhou's brother and sister for a while. Then lianfangzhou asked her in a low voice if she would like to go to eat together later and have fun?

If it's normal, lianfangzhou's family has no parents. Of course, they eat together. But for lianfangzhou's big room and second room, it's not necessary.

To Qiao Shi, even Fang Zhou believes that his brothers and sisters can't eat anything. No, I'll go to get angry in the Spring Festival.

He smiled and declined.

Even the sea knew it, and had expected it would be so. After a few words of persuasion, he just smiled and said that he would come and sit with them after supper. Lianfangzhou is naturally welcome.

When all the dishes are about to come out of the pot, firecrackers sound from all directions in the village from time to time. It seems that every family has almost the same time for dinner!

Even Fang Zhou laughed and called Lian Ze and so on: "bring the big firecrackers we bought! We should set off firecrackers, too! "

This is the boy's favorite thing. Lianze and lianche promised loudly that they would take out a big set of firecrackers that had already been prepared.

Lian Fangzhou didn't trust them to order some. After putting the red firecrackers on the ground, Jane took a burning incense and ordered it.

The crackling sound of firecrackers filled the whole courtyard, red debris splashed everywhere, and the smoke with the smell of fire medicine gradually spread. Lian Fangqing threw himself into Lian Fangzhou's arms and covered his ears but giggled. Lian Ze and Lian Che had been waiting for the sound of firecrackers to pick up the unfired ones and let them play.

More firecrackers came through the walls, and the whole village was buzzing one after another. This is the busiest time of the year.

"All right, all right! the most favorable auspices! the most favorable auspices! Come back to the house, it's time to eat! " The third aunt smiled, glanced at lianze and lianche, who were reluctant to part with each other, and said: "go back to the house and eat first, then pick up the cannon, and you won't run away! It's still early! "

Everyone laughed and went in together.

"Fangzhou! Third aunt! Are you ready to eat! " Aunt Zhang and Li Juan came in from outside with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang! Ah Juan! " Lian Fangzhou was busy greeting and said with a smile, "I'm ready to eat! And you? "

"Well, we're almost there!" Aunt Zhang smiled, holding a basket in her hand, and said with a smile, "I've made a lot of dishes and sent you something you haven't made! Try something fresh! "

Lian Fangzhou and her third aunt smiled and thanked them. They were invited into the room. Then they went to the kitchen to pick up a bowl of vegetables.

The two families with good friendship always do so.

Aunt Zhang opened the basket cover and put all the dishes in the bowl into the empty bowl brought by her third aunt. There are steamed pork, stir fried pork, steamed pork tripe and so on.

Even Fangzhou also packed some fermented tofu and sauce ribs for Aunt Zhang. After a few words with a smile, Aunt Zhang and her daughter went back.

Soon, even the sea also sent a bowl of vegetables, such as elbows, ham, stuffed eggs, etc.

Even Fangzhou smiled and thanked him for taking it. He also packed some vegetables for Lianhai.

However, the mood of the two families is different. Even Fangzhou doesn't need to think about how ugly Qiao's face will be when Lianhai delivers the dishes.

If the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt were really willing to send food, it would be Qiao's, not Lianhai's.

But the good news is that it's not Joe's, otherwise, the new year will affect the mood. It's true that you can't see without seeing.

There was nothing else to do for a while, so the family sat around the table and had dinner.

Today's dinner is a round table, which means reunion. The round table supports the square shelves with grooves. In the middle of the table top, there is a round movable board as big as the bottom of the basin. If you take it, you can place the small stove on the groove of the table frame. So the top of the small stove can be even with the table top, and the soup pot is not too high.

Put on the charcoal fire in the small stove, put on the small round pot for cooking mutton soup, and put all kinds of dishes around. Lianfangzhou specially opened two jars of wine, one of which was a Jian's and the other was bought from the orchard of Linjia.
