Chapter 517

The couplets were pasted at the gate of the courtyard, and there was a little more flavor of new year in an instant.

Then Zhang Man'er gathered in front of Yang Kexin and followed her to cut the window flowers. The same red paper and scissors were turned over in their hands. With the crisp sound of clicking, the beautiful and happy patterns were formed in their hands.

Small stone low call, this window flower seems to be more beautiful than couplet, also picked up paste, help stick on the window, door.

With these red happy things embellishment, the whole Xue family is full of happiness.

After pasting couplets and window decorations, Zhang Man'er and others joined the army of choosing vegetables, choosing vegetables, killing fish, and peeling potatoes.

With the concerted efforts of all the people, a big new year's dinner was put on the table in the morning.

There are sweet and sour spareribs, steamed fish, mother chicken soup, braised meat, white radish vermicelli, preserved pork with plum vegetables, bean sauce meatballs, pickled cabbage and other ten dishes, which means perfect.

The dishes at this table are richer than in any other year. The heart of each dish is comparable to that of a chef in a restaurant. It is full of color, fragrance, and rapeseed oil.

In the past, when Xue Yu fried vegetables, he put very little rapeseed oil. Some vegetables were not fried well, and they all stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Now it's different. When the family's conditions are good, they don't worry about food and clothing. They are willing to use enough rapeseed oil in cooking. Every dish is fried golden. It smells delicious and looks bright and attractive.

People in the mountains, like Xue Yu's, are so particular about making a reunion dinner. I'm afraid they can't find a second one.

This year, he saved a lot of money, and Xue Yu was willing to pay for it. He made a lot of meat dishes for everyone to enjoy.

"Come on, let's stop standing and sit down for dinner. This table is a good dish, but it's the skill of three women. You'll have a good taste. You should open your stomach and have a good lunch at noon. " Xue Yu smiles and greets Xue Yang and Xiao Shitou, who are standing on one side. He also pulls Zhang Man'er and Yang Kexin to sit down by the way.

In this year, Xue's family has gone through too much. From being poor and poor to being prosperous now, it all comes down to Zhang Man'er. Without her, Xue Yu would not have a good life.

Here, she opened a jar of daughter red. The faint aroma of the wine was very mellow. Rao is Zhang Man'er, who doesn't drink wine on weekdays. She can't help but want to drink a little wine to get lucky.

Xue Yu poured a small cup of wine for everyone. Originally, he didn't want to give it to Xiaoshi. He thought he was just a child, but he couldn't stand his request, so he poured a little.

Zhang Man'er raised the wine cup first, with a smile in his mouth, and looked at everyone's eyes softly: "come on, let's have a drink. It's been a hard year. Let's wish the coming year more prosperous."

"Good." Xue Yang first drank it all, but Yang Kexin's cup just let her touch a little lip. After all, she was pregnant with a child, so it was not good to drink.

Xue Yu is very happy today. He seems to have a good capacity for drinking. He can see the bottom in a cup.

"When we eat vegetables, the food will be cold and the taste will be bad. Eat more and eat dumplings in the evening." Xue Yu asks everyone to eat more. If they can't finish eating, the leftovers will be left until the first day of junior high school.

The dishes on the table dazzled the audience, but at the same time, they moved their fingers.

The happiest thing is xiaoshitou. He has never seen such a rich meal before. He is eating Xue Yujia's food, not to mention how beautiful it is. He has a mouthful of oil.

"Delicious. Niang, this is the most abundant new year's dinner I've ever seen since I grew up. "

The child's slightly childish voice made Xue Yu burst into tears. She sucked her nose, and the hard life of these years flashed through her mind one by one.

Now in retrospect, as if in front of me, I still have a deep memory.

In the past, there were at most three or five dishes for the Chinese new year, except for green vegetables, radishes and chicken soup, which was a bowl of meat more than usual.

It takes half a day just to prepare so many dishes. If three women don't take turns cooking, one person will be very tired.

This is what Xue Yu did not dare to think before. Now it has come true. For so many years, only their mother and son have been living together for the new year. This year, the people at this table are very busy.

Seeing Xue Yu's tears, Zhang Man'er is also moved, but he should be happy to celebrate the Spring Festival.

She touched little stone's head and said with a smile“ Silly child, you can rest assured that the new year's Eve dinner in the future will only be more and more prosperous year by year. Today we all open our hearts to eat and reward ourselves for a year's hard work. "

"Third sister-in-law, you are right. This new year's Eve dinner is certainly good, but it integrates everyone's unique skills. " Yang Kexin digs away from the topic. As soon as he talks and laughs, he drives the atmosphere.

"Everyone hurry to taste our cooking skills. The braised meat and bean paste are made from vines. The fish and pickled cabbage are easy to make. The rest is for me to pack." Xue Yu is laughing.

Xiaoshitou quickly tasted every dish. It tasted very good, with the characteristics of everyone. Today is a happy day. It's wonderful to eat new year's dinner at noon and dumplings at night.

This new year's dinner, in everyone's talking and laughing, took nearly an hour.

Everyone ate well, and the food on the table was almost settled.

Xue Yu has cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang Man'er is not idle. In the kitchen, there are three women. They are all busy for the dumplings in the evening.

Xue Yu kneaded the white flour, Yang Kexin rolled the dumpling skin skillfully, and Zhang Man'er chopped the onion meat on the chopping board with a kitchen knife.

Minced meat is very fine, mixed with green onion, just like the dots in the flowers, especially gratifying.

Zhang Man'er looks at the pile of rolled dumpling skins. Each one is thick and thin, and the size is the same. It can be seen that Yang Kexin's craftsmanship is good.

She asked the two busy people with a smile: "Auntie, how do you make this dumpling skin? Do you want something nice? "

"Whatever. What else is there in this dumpling?" Xue Yu said with a casual smile.

Throughout the year, she will eat dumplings for the Chinese New Year. In previous years, she always made some meat on the dumpling skin and kneaded it casually. No matter what shape it was, she would eat it when it was steamed.

"Since there's no fixed shape, I'm going to show off." Zhang Man'er blinks and smiles mysteriously.

She likes dumplings best. In modern times, she often buys some meat stuffing to chop her own dumplings. It's not good to often eat quick-frozen dumplings. Making dumplings once a time is enough to eat for two days, which is also easy.

No, it's hard to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It's better to have a good look and seek an auspicious meaning.

Zhang Man'er picked up a piece of dumpling skin and put it in the palm of his hand. With the right amount of meat foam, he folded it in half and then folded it in half. Once he wrapped it around the two ends, he dipped it in a little water and pinched it. It became a round and rolling treasure shape. This is the way of making dumplings in the south.
