Chapter 108 - bustling
Time passed quickly, and the liveliness of Wang Laosi’s family continued. There were many children in the Zhulan family, and it was lively and lively. In a blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren had different meanings in their first New Years in ancient times. Early in the morning, Zhou Shuren took his son and grandson to worship the ancestors, and after returning, he took out the red paper he bought early to write the Spring Festival couplets.
Zhulan also discovered new skills. She cut the window grilles according to her original memory, and she cut them well.
After the couplets were pasted on the window grilles, Zhulan brought her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to prepare lunch. The Zhulan family had one more meal than other families, and prepared to eat pots at noon. For dinner, they cooked the reunion dinner as in previous years.
Hot pot, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren have always missed it. Hot pot has been around for a long time. In the Song Dynasty, the way to eat hot pot was refined. Northerners like it very much in winter, but they are mainly simmering. The two are not out of line to eat hot pot. The restaurant in the county will launch hot pot every winter.
In order to eat hot pot, the couple bought a large ceramic pot and charcoal.
The meat for the hot pot is the mutton that Zhulan has never been willing to eat, but unfortunately I can’t buy beef. Many family members have cut a lot of pork slices. I bought five grass carp weighing more than three kilograms for the Chinese New Year, and Zhulan asked Li to slice one. Grass carp brush pot, simple vegetarian dishes, only frozen tofu, tofu, radish, cabbage, potatoes.
The soup base is chicken soup and big bone soup. Don’t think about the sauce. The hot pot in the county restaurant doesn’t have any sauce. There are some chopped green onion and chili noodles in the sky.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the hot pot is much different from the modern hot pot. According to Zhulan’s view, the hot pot in the restaurant is a stew pot, which is stewed in disorder.
There are many family members of Zhulan, and they don’t have the time to eat them one by one. The two pots are neatly placed and stewed directly on the charcoal fire. The fish fillets are not resistant to being boiled and eaten.
As soon as the family sat down for lunch and the lid of the hot pot was lifted, both adults and children drooled. Several children had their eyes on the meat. No, it should be said that except for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, everyone was staring at them. Meat.
It was the first time for the Chinese New Year to be so generous, and it was good to eat meat!
Zhou Shuren moved his chopsticks. He couldn’t stand the eyes of his sons. He coughed, “It’s delicious, let’s move chopsticks!”
As soon as the voice fell, I saw chopsticks flying.
The whole family has never eaten hot pot, and they have only heard of its name. They have never dared to hope for it, and now it has come true.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are in charge of the family. Zhulan controls the food, and has long stopped craving meat. Instead, he likes to eat something refreshing. The two people have the most is tofu and cabbage. .
Later, seeing how delicious they were eating, several sons’ eyes lit up after trying it, but it was a pity that one person and one chopstick were all gone.
Li’s food was full of tears, and it was so delicious that he gave it to the children as he ate it.
Zhao’s speed is not slow, because he only takes care of his daughter and eats more than Li’s. Zhao feels that he is lucky. He gave birth before the new year, and the delicious food has not fallen at all.
Because Zhulan takes care of Jiang Du, Xuemei only needs to feed her daughter, and she also eats a lot. Since returning to her parents’ house, Xuemei has long accepted the fact that her mother’s food is good. For one lunch, she only cut 8 catties of mutton and pork. There are also five pounds. Whose family is so extravagant for the Chinese New Year, if it is not good for a married daughter to live with her son-in-law for a long time, Xuehan would want to live with her children.
Jiang Sheng at the next table was embarrassed to eat for nothing at first, but it gradually became natural. The Yue family really didn’t dislike their family, especially these days, not only did they make money by copying books, but they could also read the books brought back by their father-in-law, not to mention that their sons and daughters would talk for a long time. Living in Yue’s house, he doesn’t even want to leave!
A hot pot meal is so lively that one can grab it for a piece of meat.
Zhulan smiled. The liveliness is good. The more lively you are, the more feelings you have. People, whether they are blood relatives or strangers, have to get along with each other before they have deep feelings.
After eating hot pot, the whole family eats hot pot, and the children and adults are drowsy.
