In the space, Duanmu ring put the dishes Xu Qing brought in on the table. Today, all the women in the family went out to eat, leaving them two old men.
When Li Changting came in, Duanmu Xiang put the big bowl of black chicken soup in front of him: "eat it, don't leave a drop."
Li Changting's feeble protest It's too much. "
Duanmu rang a bad smile: "it's specially made for you. Don't waste food. Eat it quickly!"
Xu Qing said it was for them, but Duanmu Xiang kindly gave his share to Li Changting, and then told him that the bowl of chicken soup was full of Xu Qing's care for him.
It's the end of the year in the blink of an eye. For the people in Qinglong mountain, this new year's Eve is no different from usual. On the contrary, they think that other people's families are enjoying the new year, drinking and eating meat. At most, they only have dried sweet potato, which is dried on the Kang.
Those who are more diligent will get up and clean the cave, and those who are sad are too lazy to waste their energy. They just eat something and sleep as usual, and the two days of opening and closing their eyes will be over.
However, towards noon, gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the other side of the barracks. The sound was slow and loud. Generally speaking, gongs were used to remind them to get food.
But it's not time to get food every five days.
Out of curiosity, everyone stood up from the Kang and went out to see what was going on.
At this time, some soldiers came to the caves one by one and told them to take a bowl to the other side of the camp. The general wanted to share the new year's food for everyone. Just send two people to each cave.
New year's dishes?
Everyone was a little surprised and asked curiously what the new year's food was. The soldier didn't say anything, just said you went.
Back in the cave, everyone is guessing what the new year's food is, but they can't imagine what it will be, and they don't dare to expect too much. It's probably fried with oil.
Although it may not be delicious to cook in a big pot, they haven't touched oil for a month, not to mention meat. Even if they only get a big pot of cabbage and radish now, they can't get it.
Today's weather is not good, but the front gate of the barracks is in full swing.
From a long distance, we can smell the smell of meat. We haven't eaten meat for a month. When we smell the smell of meat, many people's eyes are green.
A centurion came to maintain order and asked everyone to line up according to the order of first come first served. Soon they could take the dishes.
There are two people from each cave. One is queuing up to get food, and the other is going to get food. There is not much food. Two days of food is also for everyone to have enough to eat during the new year.
The food receiving team was very fast, because it was not allowed to gather around the barracks. After receiving two days' food, everyone went back quickly, leaving the food receiving team there.
The smell of meat came in bursts, and the sound of swallowing one after another sounded in the team.
Now they are only worried that the bowl is not big enough. Although they have already brought the biggest bowl in their family, what if it is not big enough?!
Lao Tao is also in the team. His sprained foot is almost good. Although the meat fragrance is attractive to him now, he would like to see with his own eyes who his brother-in-law is and what he looks like.
But I didn't look around.
At the moment, most of the impatient people were looking around, and Lao Tao was not the one who was eyeing.
This morning, Li Chanjuan decided to have dinner on New Year's Eve, a pot of egg noodles and Chinese cabbage stewed bacon. It makes people salivate when she thinks about it. Now she's getting this meat dish, which is icing on the cake.
Lao Tao was very happy, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only suppress his impulse to show off.
At this time, a soldier trotted over the canteen and said something to the centurion. The centurion nodded, then led the queue into the barracks and walked towards the canteen.
There was a long line of soldiers with swords all around. No one dared to look around, nor did they dare to take the lead. They all followed.
At the gate of the canteen, a soldier came with a thick book and asked which cave he was from and how many people he was from.
As you know, today's Spring Festival dishes are stewed pork with dried potato shoots, stewed pork with dried cabbage mushrooms and stewed pork with dried radish and plum vegetables!
All three kinds of vegetables can be divided into one spoon. It's fair to share less if there are fewer people in the cave and more if there are more people.
A spoonful of weight is not much, three together is just a bowl of half a bowl, add soup, it seems to have more than half a bowl.
Although not much weight, but we are also satisfied.
After all, there is meat in the dish! Nail size meat is also meat!
There are nearly 120000 people here. How can they have enough meat to eat and drink? It's a surprise that the general can send them new year's dishes on New Year's Eve.
There are many vegetables in the bowl, and there are not two pieces of meat in it. However, the flavor and color of the sauce make their stomachs growl.
Everyone went back with a bowl carefully. Now no one wants to spend the new year casually and perfunctorily. They all take out what they usually hate to eat and have a good meal with this bowl of meat and vegetables.Lao Tao went early and came back early. It was noon.
Li Chanjuan looked at the bowl of meat dishes and exclaimed in surprise: "God, is it so good?"
The son and daughter also cooperated to give out praise.
It's not that the dish is rare, but that the thick oil red sauce looks luxurious.
After the natural disaster, oil has become a luxury for ordinary people. How much oil has to be added to this bowl of dishes with enough materials.
Lao Tao felt his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Cook some noodles. Let's share the food."
Li Chanjuan: "don't you keep it for the evening? Do you want to eat at noon? What you eat in the morning is in the dog's stomach? "
Voice down, the cave rang out several belly cooing voice.
Li Chanjuan Is this a group of hungry ghosts?
In the end, Li Chanjuan cooked half a jin of noodles, poured a bowl of meat and vegetables into the pot, mixed the noodles, and shared them among four members of the family.
After eating, Li Chanjuan couldn't help feeling guilty: "we are too extravagant here."
Lao Tao doesn't care so much. When he thinks of bacon at night, he is very happy.
Qinglong mountain has been busy for a long time. It calms down towards dusk. In Taizhou, new year's Eve has just begun.
During the day, every household is busy cleaning, pasting Spring Festival couplets, making New Year cakes and dumplings. In the afternoon, they prepare a big dinner for the reunion dinner in the evening.
Towards night, the city will ring the sound of firecrackers one after another, the sound of firecrackers, indicating that the family reunion dinner has begun.
