Chapter 189： set off firecrackers

Han Wen returned to a little peanut oil and poured all the cut pork into the pot. First, marinate the pork, which is easy to use when cooking for a while.

After the pork was fried out of oil and changed its color, Han Wen put the pork out, left a few pieces of meat in the pot, and then added chopped green onion to fry until fragrant.

"Mom! Mom! Dad asked me to come and ask you, is the chicken stewed or fried?" Hu Zi ran over and asked in a panic.

"Tell your dad to stew!"

Huzi: "Okay!"

After a while, he came back, "Mom, you should go and have a look!"

Han Wen handed the shovel to Xu Sheng, who was cleaning the dishes, "I've put everything away, just put it out when it's cooked."

Xu Sheng: "Okay."

Han Wen tiptoed to the kitchen, and saw Wang Hao and Shen Yu standing in front of the pot with a look of bewilderment.

Han Wen stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Hao turned around and looked at Han Wen a little embarrassed.

Han Wen glanced at the pot of water on the stove.

Wang Hao usually only cooks some home-cooked dishes, such as fish, chicken, and other big dishes, so he was a little overwhelmed at first.

Han Wen: "Fry first and then stew."

"Shen Yu, go outside and help me bring the oil pot in, forget it! You ask Huzi to take the oil pot, and you bring me the fish."

After hearing this, Shen Yu quickly put down the fire stick in his hand and went to get something.

Han Wen looked at Wang Hao and said, "You help me start the fire first."

When Shen Yu brought the oil pot, Han Wen fry the chicken first and put it in the pot of water, let him simmer slowly, and then simmered the fish in the pot.

After the two big dishes are ready, go outside and continue to fry the vegetables. Han Wen doesn't plan to cook eight more dishes for this meal.

Although there were only eight dishes, they were still busy until noon.

When the dishes were all cooked, Wang Hao said to Shen Yu, "Come and help me, let's carry the table to the middle."

The dining table in their house is placed against the wall and needs to be moved out when eating. In the past, only their family of four had the right place to eat, but now they have to move the table out for two more people.

Shen Yu and Xu Sheng helped Wang Hao move the table to the middle. Seeing this, Han Wen hurriedly arranged the dishes and handed out chopsticks.

"Wang Hao, have you seen the time? Let's set off firecrackers for dinner."

Set off a firecracker before dinner on New Year's Eve.

After listening, Wang Hao went back to the bedroom and took out a long firecracker, "You don't need to look at the time, as long as the meal is ready, you two cover your ears." After speaking, he went to the yard.

Tying the firecrackers to the prepared bamboo poles, Wang Hao was thinking about who to call for help! Shen Yu took the initiative to run over, "Brother Hao, let me come!"

Wang Hao looked at Shen Yu's thin body and asked hesitantly, "Can you do it?"

Shen Yu said nonchalantly, "Don't worry! I'm moving quickly!"

Seeing that Shen Yu was so confident, Wang Hao didn't hesitate and handed over the match in his hand.

Shen Yu was a little surprised to see the match handed by Wang Hao, "Use this point?"

After listening to Shen Yu's words, Wang Hao looked at him with some hesitation, "Aren't you afraid that this thing is so popular that you will collapse yourself?"

Shen Yu: "Then you give it to me?"

Wang Hao: "Are you smoking?"

Shen Yu: "I don't think anyone in your family smokes it, so you don't bring it."

Wang Hao frowned when he heard what Shen Yu said, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over.

"Why do you still have this?" Shen Yu asked in disbelief. He had never seen Wang Hao smoking after having eaten so many meals at their house.

"After the New Year, you have to be prepared."

Shen Yu took one out of it and stuffed it into his mouth, and handed the rest back, took out the match and struck it, then brought it to his mouth to light a cigarette, and threw the match in his hand to the ground.

Then he took a deep breath, took out his cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke.

Hu Zi was really looking at it in the room, turned to look at Han Wen and said, "Mother Shen Yu is so powerful that he still smokes!"

Han Wen patted Hu Zi and warned: "You must not learn from your brother Shen Yu when you are still young, or I will let your father break your legs."

Huzi: "I don't learn it! It's not delicious."

"Brother Shen Yu, when are you ready to start?" Hu Zi urged anxiously.

Shen Yu saw that the cigarette in his hand was already lit up, turned his head to face Hu Zi and said, "I'll be fine soon, you can make room for me." After speaking, the cigarette in his hand slowly moved to the firecracker's twist.

Then a puff of smoke came out, and Shen Yu immediately turned around and ran into the house when he saw it. Just as he entered the house, there was a deafening crackling sound.

Wang Hao stood calmly in the yard by himself holding a bamboo pole, waiting for all the firecrackers to go off before entering the house.

When the firecrackers rang, Han Wen was afraid of scaring Xiaolong, so she kept covering his ears with her hands.

After Wang Hao came in, there was a burst of firecrackers at Wang Dani's house next door.

Huzi: "Mom's aunt's house just set off firecrackers. Our family eats earlier than the aunt's house."

Han Wen: "Your aunt has a lot of family, and you must cook more dishes than us. It's normal to be slower." After finishing speaking, she picked up the wine that was set aside, looked at Wang Hao and the others with a smile and said, "Let's drink something today?"

Shen Yu was the first to respond, "Okay! You have to drink a couple of sips to get the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Sheng also nodded: "I'm fine too."

Wang Hao: "Then it's all down."

Hu Zi saw that the adults were drinking, and pushed the cup over, "Mom, I want it too."

Han Wen didn't even look at him when she heard it, she reached out and took the kettle next to it and brought him a full glass.

"Xiaolong, do you want it?"

Xiaolong also pushed the cup over, "Yes."

Han Wen's family ate happily, while the Liu Chunfang family next door complained.

Hearing that Wang Hao and Zhou Xinguo set off firecrackers one after the other, Li Yuejin asked with a dark face to the kitchen, "Bingziniang, when will you be able to make this meal? Can you still eat it today?"

Unlike Han Wen and Wang Dani's family, only her and her daughter cook in their family, and all the other men are shopkeepers.

Liu Chunfang can only imagine how busy she is to cook for everyone by herself. She washes vegetables, cuts vegetables, and cooks. Her daughter can only help her make a fire.

But she also knew Li Yuejin's temper, so she didn't dare to talk back casually, so she could only perfunctory: "Come on! Come on, it'll be fine right away."

Li Yuejin said with a dark face and angrily: "Come on! Come on! When will you get better. Hurry up and be an old man, you will starve to death."

Listening to Li Yuejin's constant urging outside, Liu Chunfang gradually lost his patience and poured all the vegetables cut on the side into a pot, ready to make a hodgepodge.

Li Jiali saw that his mother had poured all the vegetables into it, and asked cautiously, "Mom, can you do this? Will Dad?"

Liu Chunfang: "Isn't this dish still good? There's nothing to choose from."
