Chapter 181 Chinese New Year Two (4/7)
"The craftsmanship of Zhuzi is good, and he smells the fragrance outside."
Intermediate Courtyard, inside He Yuzhu's house.
As soon as an old man and an old lady came in, they said with a smile.
"A master and an aunt are here. Let's sit for two minutes first. Wang Qian goes to the backyard to pick up the old lady and you can eat immediately!"
While He Yuzhu asked the two of them to sit down, he began to take out the noodles from the pot and prepare the ingredients.
"Okay, don't worry."
Just after it was done, the deaf old lady and Wang Qian also came in.
"Slow down and pay attention to the threshold!"
Hearing Wang Qian's voice, He Yuzhu hurriedly walked up to help lift the curtain and said with a smile: "Old lady, I heard that you were in the backyard early this morning, why don't you keep it in bed for more time
?”
While talking, the couple had already helped the deaf old lady into the house, and the old man and his wife also quickly got up and helped the deaf old lady to sit on the sofa.
"The old lady's legs and feet are a little better, so she can't wait to get out of bed and she can't stop her!" an old lady said with a smile.
"You guys, worry, my old lady knows her body. Well, I'm hungry, big grandson, hurry up and bring the food." The deaf old lady waved her hand indifferently, and then made a greedy cat
The appearance made everyone laugh.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you."
As he said that, He Yuzhu brought the noodles to the coffee table, each person with a bowl, and the portion was quite large.
"Well, it smells so good, and there is so much meat!"
The deaf old lady took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the greed in her stomach had been hooked up, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, Zhuzi's craftsmanship is good. He has been busy all morning. I still remember to come back to make breakfast for us. Thank you for your hard work!" A man smiled.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled, pointed to the noodles that had not been cooked by the pot and said, "Eat more, there is not enough noodles, and the pot is still burning on the fire."
Now it's past 9 o'clock, and after I finish eating, I'll start preparing today's supper.
I didn’t prepare the luncheon meal specifically. There were still a lot of food left last night. I also prepared some candy and fruit cakes and canned food here. If anyone is hungry, I will deal with it. The rest will be waiting for a good meal tonight.
”
"Okay, I'll help you after eating. If you're hungry at noon, I'll deal with it." An old man smiled and agreed.
"Don't worry, Zhuzi, I'll prepare lunch." An old lady said quickly.
"Okay, let's eat first, I'll show you my skills in the afternoon."
He Yuzhu said with a smile, and then accompanied everyone to have breakfast.
After a while, after eating them all, He Yuzhu said to Wang Qian who was sitting next to him: "Wife, the new quilt and new cotton jacket we brought back, you can try it out for you later. Today is the New Year,
I have to wear new clothes!"
"Don't worry, husband, I will arrange it. Today you just need to cook, and leave the rest to me, an aunt and an old man." Wang Qian smiled.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After breakfast, He Yuzhu started to boil water and sharpen his knife and organize the ingredients. After all, there were too many dishes to cook today.
Almost all those who flew in the sky, those who ran on the ground, and those who swam in the water were included in the recipes, including chicken, duck, geese, rabbit, and fish. These are the 5 dishes.
The second is pork. He is preparing to make braised pork, double-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, elbows, stir-fried pork liver, stewed large intestines, steamed sausages, and boiled cabbage with pig blood. These are the 8 dishes.
The remaining one is another three-fresh soup, a vegetarian sauerkraut, and finally a cold shredded radish. All of them are added together with 16 dishes, which is full of heart.
This is because he thinks there are fewer people during the New Year. If there are more people, he will probably be able to have more than twenty dishes.
He was busy and worked hard. By noon, all the ingredients were processed by him.
Just as I was about to stir-fry chicken and steam elbows, I heard the sound of three siblings coming from the yard.
"Pick it up quickly. All chickens, ducks and geese feathers can be exchanged for money, otherwise it will be troublesome if Sha Zhu sees them later."
"Brother, why don't we tell Uncle He? This is his family's thing after all." Xiaodang said hesitantly.
"Brother, sister is right. Uncle He didn't say he didn't want these things anymore. It wouldn't be better for us to just take them away like this?" Xiao Huaihua also whispered.
"Hmph, I picked it up on the ground, but I didn't pick it up at his house. What are you afraid of?
Stop talking, pick it up quickly, I will exchange it for money later, and I will come back to buy you candy and firecrackers." Bang Teng snorted coldly, as if she was very dissatisfied with her two sisters being so timid.
Inside the house, He Yuzhu shook his head. He didn't go out to disturb the plan of picking up hairs by his brother and sister. As soon as he came, he was going to let the third uncle's house pick up this cheap one. He really didn't like this little money.
Secondly, although the Bang Tee is abominable, Xiaodang and Xiaohuai are still good. For exchange for this little thing, the two sisters can also enjoy some of it.
Third, He Yuzhu felt that the New Year was very popular, and it was really not worth it for him to talk too much about this.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu continued to cook and pretended that he hadn't seen it.
After a while, the water in the chicken was also fried. He Yuzhu poured it into the stew pot, added water, and put the left ingredients together. Then he carried it to the fire of the deaf old lady in the backyard to continue stewing.
cook.
There are a lot of meat and vegetables to stew today, so one fire is not enough, so he specially asked an aunt to increase the fire at home and in the deaf old lady's house.
When he went out, there were no chicken, duck and goose feathers left in the yard that had not been cleaned. He Yuzhu glanced at them and didn't care.
The meat and vegetables that needed to be stewed had been completed. He Yuzhu looked at the time on his watch. It was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early to eat in the evening.
When he returned to the house, he took out the tea sent by Deputy Director Li and soaked it in a full tank. Then he sat on the sofa to rest.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Qian came in, holding firecrackers in her hand.
"Oh, I almost forgot that I didn't buy firecrackers. Fortunately, you are careful, my wife." He Yuzhu said with a smile when he saw the firecrackers in Wang Qian's hand.
Wang Qian also smiled, then placed the firecrackers on the table, and then said, "I just saw the third uncle's house buy firecrackers, and then I remember that my family has not bought them yet.
By the way, husband, I just saw three children from the Jia family at the supply and marketing cooperative. Each of them carried a bag, which seemed to be filled with chickens, ducks and goose feathers, and were exchanging money with the salesperson.
After I came back, I saw that the chickens, ducks and geese feathers in the yard were gone. Did you give them the ones?"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "How could I have anything to do with their family again?
Just now, I was cooking in the house when I heard the three children of the Jia family outside talking in the yard. I guess they picked it up at that time."
"Really, does Qin Huairu just care about it? Although it's not worth much, taking it without asking is stealing. This is a matter of character." Wang Qian was a little angry. What she disliked the most was the thief.
"Forget it, my wife, just pick it up. This is the Chinese New Year, there is no need to make trouble for such a little thing, just pretend that you don't know." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said helplessly.
After hearing what he said, Wang Qian had no choice but to give up, just sighed: "If these children of Qin Huai Ru family don't take good care of them now, they will be sad in the future."
