Chapter 217 lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken
The next day on new year's eve, everyone was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and no one in the neighborhood was so happy that they started to set off firecrackers before seven o' clock.
After washing up, Li Haitang and liu fen went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. In the morning, they ate beef noodles, which were fresh beef from the market yesterday and were rarely eaten.
After breakfast, Li Haitang called jiang xuji's house on thursday to celebrate the new year and asked four boys to bring their own lunch boxes to pick up the dishes.
"Sister hoi tong, what are you cooking?" Duan Jinqiao finished cleaning the rooms and asked curiously when he saw Li Haitang making lotus leaves.
This lotus leaf was bought at the market yesterday. When she saw it, she suddenly wanted to make a new dish that made people drool, "Today, I will make a lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken for everyone. It will be delicious enough for you to drool."
Duan Jinqiao was already drooling before she could make it. She believed in Li Haitang's cooking. This new dish must be delicious. "What do you need me to do?" She asked with sparkling eyes."
"Just help me pack it later. I'm almost ready."
Li Haitang washed the lotus leaves and put them in a basin to dry. Then he poured the soaked glutinous rice, chopped mushrooms, bacon, sausage and other things into a large basin and mixed them together, then instructed her to learn how to pack.
Jiang chuheng and the others came about the time. They knocked on the door at 10: 30. Li Tao walked over to open the door and said happily, "Brother jiang, brother Yunyang, how are you two brothers?"
"Hello." Everyone smiled at him and changed their shoes after entering the entrance.
Smelling the strong fragrance in the room, Xu Yueyang shouted, "Haitang, what are you cooking? It's too fragrant." He came back this year to celebrate the new year. Li Haitang had sent them some bacon from his hometown before, and now he called them to pick up the dishes. It seemed that there was something better to eat.
Walking into the room, looking at the two long tables with newspapers full of twenty bowls of pork buttons, and nearly twenty or thirty bowls of marinated meat and steamed meat, Zhou Yunyang howled in exaggeration, "Oh my god, Li Haitang, you are going to have a banquet."
Jiang chuheng and the others had their eyes bulging out. They had prepared too much, but now they wanted to taste it the most.
Ji Dongming did not care who had eaten the only pair of chopsticks on the table. He snatched them away and put a piece into his mouth in a meat bowl. After tasting it, he shouted, "It's really delicious. It's delicious."
Liu Fen had already brought the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and handed them each a copy. Duan Jinqiao brought the stool and asked them to sit down and eat.
Li Haitang, who was wearing a blue sweater and an apron, walked out of the room and smiled helplessly at them. "You guys are eating like this. Are you still packing up for home later?"
Zhou Yunyang pointed at the two tables with his chin and stammered, "That's enough for us to pack."
"Well, I have to send some to my godfather and Master qi later. Leave some at home. You can take the rest." Li Haitang had long thought that these foodies would have to take more.
Jiang Chuheng picked up a piece of pig's ear and fed it to Li Haitang. Seeing that she hesitated, she accepted it. The smile in her eyes deepened and she asked, "Haitang, what else is cooking in the kitchen? It smells good."
"Hehe, I'm making a new dish, lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, and I have to steam it for about ten minutes. Later, each of you will bring some back to taste it."
Xu Yueyang finished a chopstick-thick pork button in three or four bites and exclaimed, "Haitang, this dish of yours is really delicious. Although my grandmother's health has improved in recent years, she still can't cook these big dishes, but my mother and aunt's skills are indescribable. Button meat is made every year, but the taste is average. I promise that when I get the food back from you today, we can have a delicious new year at home."
Li Haitang was amused by him and said with a smile, "Then you can take a few more bowls later. If you still want to eat during the spring festival, call me in advance. I'll prepare some for you."
"And my house." Zhou Yunyang was biting on a chicken bone, not forgetting to make a statement.
Ji Dongming didn't say anything but raised his hand. He used to eat light food in Hushi, then followed them to spicy dishes, and now he really likes the bacon.
Jiang Chuheng didn't say a word. He ate the chicken and looked at her.
The four families took twelve bowls of button meat, ten portions of braised pork, ten portions of braised pork, and seven or eight lotus leaf glutinous rice chickens, each carrying a large bag. When they came to pick up the dishes, they naturally brought Li Haitang a new year's gift. Several baskets of fresh fruit and candies, milk and the like were all very expensive and good things.
As soon as they left, the house was empty. After everyone cleaned up, Li Haitang changed his clothes and went to Huaishu alley with two bags.
She sent them all warm dishes, just in time for their family reunion dinner at noon, which could be eaten directly on the table. Both families asked her to stay for dinner, but they refused and promised to visit the mo family again tonight.
Before lunch, Li Jianguo also went to buy firecrackers and set them off in the neighborhood. The new year was in his new house, so he had to have a good time.
"Wow, Sister hoi tong, this lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken is really delicious." Duan Jinqiao took a bite and cried with excitement.
The lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken she had wrapped was the size of a palm, which could be worth a big bowl of rice. Each of the five of them took one to eat. Li Haitang took a quick bite. The taste was really good. He grinned and said, "It's delicious. There are lotus leaves at home. Let's continue cooking tomorrow."
Li Jianguo never asked much for food, but this time he nodded for the first time, "Mmm, yummy. Make more tomorrow."
Not only were their families complimenting each other, but all the families who had received the food were praising each other. Especially the old people and children, they especially liked this lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken and button meat, which was soft, fragrant and not sticky to their teeth. It was the best food for them.
Jiang Chuheng was holding half a glutinous chicken in his hand and threw down his chopsticks. He ran to the phone and dialed the phone alone. After a familiar voice came from the other side, he said straightforwardly, "Haitang, lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken is delicious, then help make some." He glanced at the thriving people in his family and continued, "We have too many family members. Each of us can only get one bite. The two nephews said they were not full."
Jiang Zitong and Jiang Zicong: ..." They didn't even say that little uncle lied!
Xie Fangfei chuckled and gave the rest of the lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken to the two brothers, urging them, "Hurry up and eat. Your little uncle has the cheek to ask. I think there's still something to eat tonight."
"Hehe..." Xia Yuping laughed happily and gave advice to his son and nephew, "Zitong, zicong, my little uncle will go to aunt's house later to pick up some food. You can go with him and bring more back shamelessly."
They: ... "" how did everyone change when it came to delicious food
Jiang chuke glanced at them with a smile and reminded them, "It's enough to take so much food for nothing. If you want to eat again, buy your own food, ask the little girl to do it for you, and give you some gifts."
Xia Yuping chuckled, "Yes, this is fine. My sister-in-law and I will go shopping later and ask her to cook for us. We won't have to worry about entertaining guests this spring festival."
Jiang Chuheng had already hung up the phone and came back. When he heard the two sisters-in-law's words, he threw the lotus leaves he had eaten into the trash can and said, "Second sister-in-law, you guys go shopping. Remember to bring some dried lotus leaves. She doesn't have much at home. Get the food back early. It'll take her a long time to cook." He had just discussed it with Li Haitang, who almost choked on the button.
"Little uncle, we'll go to aunt's house with you later." Jiang Zitong had long wanted to see Li Haitang.
"Okay."
Chu Xiaoman also raised his hand, "Me too. I haven't been to haitang's new house yet."
"Sure."
Chu Hongmei saw that everyone liked to eat these dishes and made a suggestion, "Xiao man, you should learn to cook these dishes with her. In the future, we will cook them at home, so we don't have to bother her often."
"Okay." Chu Xiaoman thought that she might not be able to learn this kind of big dish for a while, but she should be able to learn lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken.
Just now, everyone was so busy eating lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken that they began to eat other dishes. Jiang Baichuan liked spicy food and picked up a piece of pig's ear that was marinated with chili oil and various spices, "This dish is delicious." He gave Chu Hongmei a chopstick and picked up some for himself.
Seeing that they were all eating spicy food, Jiang Chuqi couldn't help but want to taste it. He reached out his chopsticks and picked up a small one. It was really delicious. He picked up a small one.
Gao Xuan smiled indulgently and put a lean piece of pork into her bowl. "Eat it. It's new year's day. Eat more if you like."
Jiang chuheng stood up and steamed the pork buttons beside him in a different position with the bacon in front of her. He said, "Sis, you eat this sweet potato pork. This is only a little spicy and light. There's a lot of lean meat at the bottom of the bowl."
"Okay." Jiang Chuqi thought the two pieces of pork buttons tasted the same, so he didn't reach out to pick them up.
There was a big table of dishes, and after eating seven or eight of them, the dishes that Li Haitang made were all clear. Not only The jiang family, but also others, as Xu Yueyang said, had a delicious year this year.
Li Haitang immediately began to prepare after the meal. She still underestimated the The jiang family's fighting capacity. Li Jianguo and others naturally heard Jiang Chuheng's phone call, and both he and Liu Fen were happy. The jiang family seemed to like haitang, so they might be able to bring about a good thing in the future.
Jiang chuheng arrived at two o' clock with Chu Xiaoman and his two nephews. Li Haitang did not expect them to bring the two children over to play. He immediately called them in and chatted with the two smart children.
Jiang Zitong and Jiang Zicong came with a mission. They thanked each other politely and asked her to cook more delicious food for the family.
Polite and sensible children were especially likable. Li Haitang took out a lot of candy and chocolates for them to eat and let them watch tv and play in the living room. She asked Duan Jinqiao to bring everyone to pack lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken and go into the kitchen to make pork and marinated meat.
