517, New Year's Eating Meat
After the more than 500 kilograms of mutton were distributed to the shopkeepers and shopkeepers, there were still 200 kilograms left. Xiaoxiao simply took them all back to the Tang family, half of which was sent to the old lady's yard, and half of them were left for the people in Zhuliguan to eat.
Ranbi is now in charge of the food and takes the fresh mutton. She is so happy that she specially brought a plate into the house: "This mutton is much better than the ones sent from the farm, and it doesn't have that much smell!"
Lian Shanniang also walked over and looked at the meat: "It's indeed a rare good mutton, but it seems to be from outside the pass."
Xiaoxiao said happily: "This is the Mongolian mutton that Mengge brought from Mongolia!"
Everyone was amused by Xiaoxiao. Ranbi asked Shanniang again: "Madam, are these mutton still moving tonight?"
"While it's fresh, why not boil mutton meatball soup?" Shanniang discussed with her daughter.
Xiaoxiao looked at Ranbi again.
Ranbi rolled her eyes and thought, "Or how about making mutton cakes? It would be delicious."
Xiaoxiao asked first: "I'm celebrating the New Year today. What did you eat for lunch?" As he said that, he waved to Ci Gu in the inner room, "Ci Gu loves to eat mutton the most, give us a trick."
"The tradition in the north is that you eat dumplings on both New Years and New Years." Ci Gu ordered the wet nurse to use a pillow to block the two boys, and then walked over with a smile. "I have packed three kinds of stuffing today, the same beef and green onions, the same pork and cabbage, and the same three fresh leeks!"
Ci Gu looked at a large piece of mutton brought by Ranbi again: "It's really good meat!" As she said that, she looked at the cloudy sky outside the window again. "Looking at the weather, it's going to snow again. Our master invited the shopkeepers at lunch. He couldn't have a good meal after drinking. He paid the wages in the afternoon. After the other matters were finished, he would definitely be tired and tired! I want me to say, for the New Year, we will have a good meal in the evening - mutton hotpot!"
Xiaoxiao and Ranbi both clapped their hands: "Good idea! Mutton hotpot!"
Shan Niang still said, "I'm afraid everyone won't digest it when eating so much mutton at night."
Xiaoxiao wanted to eat mutton hotpot and hurriedly said, "I'm sleeping late anyway. Today is the Little New Year again, so we'll be half a night!"
Shan Niang patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "Okay, mutton hotpot! Our family set a table, and the nannies and maids at home also set a table, and it's lively! The kitchen will make mutton patties tonight so that the little girls can try it out too!"
Ranbi was very happy: "Mrs. Xie is thinking about us! I will go to the kitchen and give instructions to prepare all the big copper pots for sautéing meat!"
Ci Gu also ordered: "Don't pick the shrunken ones, don't mix radish and cabbage into the mutton patties, it's the pure meat filling of mutton green onions!"
"Oh!" Ranbi responded loudly, and served the mutton plate and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao followed along, "I also went to the kitchen to pay homage to the old man, and today I bought some puff pastry and offer it to him later!"
Ranbi also thought to himself: If you have mutton tonight, he may not want to touch these snacks.
Shan Niang looked at her daughter and ran out with a smile, and then she heard the twins screaming lively on the big kang: "When Brother Yu saw her sister, she shouted happily, and she would bring a kiss." She looked at her silent young son again: "And Brother Zhou, who has never spoken silently, looks confident."
Ci Gu heard the wife’s words interestingly: “This is not an eight-month-old child, it seems like she is talking about a young master who is seventeen or eighteen years old!”
Shan Niang didn't feel laughing, and used a soft veil to wipe Brother Yu's saliva, but Brother Zhou had never drooled.
Ci Gu's voice lowered beside her: "Madam, this mutton is a bit interesting. She said that it was given by Master Meng. I don't know which master of the Meng family is."
Shan Niang thought for a while: "Since I sent it to the magazine first, I should be a business partner."
"That's right, if you have any intentions, you shouldn't send it to your house directly." Ci Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried at first. I heard that those masters from the Meng family are not easy to mess with."
Shan Niang said, "I was in Jiushan last time. I heard that the two young masters of the Meng family saved Xiaoxiao and the others. This is also considered a benefactor."
Ci Gu thought of the matter in Jiushan, but she wanted to say something but stopped. She thought about the good life of the New Year, so why bother mentioning these disappointing things?
A cold wind suddenly rushed into the room, but Xiaoxiao came back. He quickly closed the door and trotted into the room: "Just just saw Rui Niang making the pot foundation there, such as Codonopsis, wolfberry, red dates and cordyceps, which is not mutton hotpot, it is clearly a palace mutton meal!"
When Brother Yu saw it, he crawled over from the kang. The fat little fat slapped his big pillow with his hands, and roared with saliva: "Xia! Xia! Xingxing! Xia!"
Every time my brother shouted at him like this, Xiaoxiao felt that the other party was saying that he was "stupid, stupid". The little fat face looked unhappy. Xiaoxiao pinched his little fat hand and teased him: "Pharm! Medicine! Chek..."
Yu Ge'er was excitedly squirting and smiling: "Xixia! Xixia! Ivecoxia!"
Xiaoxiao: "Boeing 747 summer."
Brother Zhou sat by the kang against the pillow, as silent as a monk.
Xiaoxiao ran over to tease him again: "Look at what our talented man is busy with?"
Brother Zhou'er's eyes floated over, like a fool, and continued to lower his head and fiddle with the small wooden cube in his hand.
Xiaoxiao looked down at the other party and hugged the whole child in his own shadow: "I don't know how to play Rubik's Cube... I didn't color you."
"Ah..." Finally forced the other party out of a word.
Brother Yu'er rushed to Xiaoxiao with his little arm: "Xixia!"
Xiaoxiao picked it up, and it felt like he picked up a fat cotton ball and walked around the room for several rounds.
Brother Yu'er's loud laughter spread throughout the five rooms, and it was mixed with confusing: "Xixia-Xia-"
Brother Zhou turned his head to play with his rainbows layered, leaving only a lonely back for everyone.
...
Although I am busy in the twelfth lunar month, the days pass quickly.
In the words of the old lady, life will only feel fast when it gets better.
If you think about it carefully, it is really reasonable. Those who suffer from hunger, cold and suffering must feel that life is like the year.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, the entire Tang Mansion was filled with the aroma of stewed meat, and everyone up and down couldn't help but say, "It's so fragrant!"
Indeed, except for the Gongzhong Large Kitchen stewing big meat, the kitchens of each room are not idle. The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of stewing meat. How can the smell not smell good?
The sisters had been called into the house by the old lady to eat meat. A large and attractive pork belly was cut into large pieces of domino thick. Several sisters ate one by one on a small plate.
Since the old lady confirmed the strength of Ruicai, she was smiling throughout the twelfth lunar month: "I have to eat a whole piece, no left in one bite! This is our first bite of New Year's meat, and it will be a good thing to eat!"
The meat stewed in the Tang family has a secret recipe, which is fat but not greasy and has a great taste. Xiaoxiao now satisfies her cravings. She held a small plate and ate it enough. Seeing that all the sisters dipped in vinegar and used lotus leaf cakes to hold it, she smiled and said without realizing it: "I love to eat the original flavor!"
Grandma patted Xiaoxiao's head: "Five girls are the most blessed!"
After a while, the aunt also brought a hot pot with someone, which contained the freshly stewed elbow meat, so that the old lady could taste the first bite.
The girl beside the eldest aunt smiled and said, "Our wife invites the girls to taste the meat!"
Zhan Yan was the first to wave his hand: "I have received my kindness from my aunt. Now I haven't finished this thick film yet, so I really can't eat it!"
Yanran smiled a little reluctantly for a moment, and she was a little unable to eat.
The girl smiled and said, "Our wife knows that the fifth girl loves to eat heart-protecting meat, so she specially stewed a large portion for the girl to come and taste it!"
Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't help but follow her with a slut.
The aunts and aunts in the family, Xiaoxiao likes the most is the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt. The immortal spirit is different from the fourth aunt. The eldest aunt is very humane. I remember that in my previous life, the eldest aunt would knit sweaters for Xiaoxiao every year, and she was particularly attentive to those styles.
When Xiaoxiao came to the eldest wife's room, the eldest wife was taking out the heart-protecting meat from a small pot, and steaming and emitting a strong fragrance: "I knew Xiaoxiao would come here. Those girls all love beauty and dare not eat more meat during the Chinese New Year! It's better for us Xiaoxiao, we have good taste, the more we eat, the better we look!"
Xiaoxiao happily leaned over and watched the eldest lady cut the meat into small pieces: "It looks delicious! It's still the eldest aunt who loves me the most!"
The eldest lady was even happier after hearing this, so she picked up a chopstick and fed it into Xiaoxiao's mouth: "I just gave your mother a pair of pigs, but she was so sad. I'll give me a pair of sheep!"
Xiaoxiao said while eating: "Our wife is so real!"
The eldest lady was amused by the words of Xiaoxiao: "Today, I will leave you in my room and not let you go!"
"That's great. I've been living with my aunt for the New Year!" Xiaoxiao smiled and leaned into the eldest lady's ear and whispered: "I'm very happy, and I'm happy for Ruicai! It's a great fortune to have a good mother-in-law like my aunt in our house!"
When the eldest lady heard about Ruicai, she smiled and said, "That's such a good child. I'm also worried that Lihuan's child is not worthy of others. He is all over the world, but Ruicai is so sensible and safe."
People have always thought that their children are good. No matter how good they are, they still feel that they cannot afford their children. It is really rare for mothers-in-law like the eldest wife. Xiaoxiao feels that Ruicai is more and more blessed.
"There are naturally millions of good ones in Ruicai, but..." Xiaoxiao kept a secret.
The eldest lady was slightly stunned, then smiled again: "Does she love eating meat like Xiaoxiao? She is afraid that she will lose her family?"
Xiaoxiao really admired the grandeur of the eldest aunt, so he whispered to his ear: "But, Ruicai is not as good as my sister-in-law. She looks good on weekdays, but she is inevitably mum... As the saying goes, children with sweet mouths have candy to eat. At that time, the eldest aunt should not only be tilted to the eldest daughter-in-law who is brilliant in the tongue, and neglect the young daughter-in-law who is not good at speaking!"
The eldest lady smiled unconsciously: "You little ghost, you are waiting for me here! I can't bear to love her with such a good child as Ruicai!"
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "I believe this, my aunt is the best mother-in-law in the world!"
The two of them were talking and laughing in the room, and then they saw Tang Lihuan's figure seemingly walking over the yard. Xiaoxiao said, "I knew that the second brother was greedy. He was running to the kitchen to eat meat!"
"You go and take him to see what he can eat." The eldest lady smiled.
Xiaoxiao did go, tiptoed into the kitchen, and gently came behind Tang Lihuan. Because the other party was too focused on doing things, he did not realize the person behind him.
Tang Lihuan took a copper hand stove and opened it. The silver charcoal inside was still burning. A small copper rack was placed on it, and a cover bowl was added. A trembling pork belly was placed inside, and then the lid was carefully covered.
Xiaoxiao was stunned behind him. Instead, Tang Lihuan turned around and saw his sister standing behind him. He smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm thinking that I'll be a family in the future. Let her taste the stewed New Year meat at home."
"Then this little piece is too stingy."
"I have given a lot of gifts to the Wei family, and this small piece of meat is for her to taste, and it is the only one." Tang Lihuan said, then carefully covered the hand stove cover, picked it up and walked out of the kitchen.
