Xu Shiyan took a pot of vegetables to accompany his wife, but he never went back to the Xu family in the evening.

Most of the young people in the village who could make trouble were drunk at noon, went home to sleep with their heads covered, and did not get up at night.

Only a few people came over at night, and Zhou Guilan was watching from the side. These people were not ashamed to make a wedding chamber, so they just sat for a while and chatted and left.

After two days of trouble, I finally became stable and quiet. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and had a good night's sleep.

This year is the New Year's Eve of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated immediately after the wedding.

Fortunately, the Xu family has nothing to do, so just wait for the New Year.

Because he said in advance that he would split up after the New Year, Xu Chenghou spoke, "The couple of Xu Shiyan and his wife must come back on New Year's Eve this year.

In this way, Xu Shiyan and his wife had nothing to do, so they just cleaned up the house and prepared to order food.

It was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Shiyan took his wife home and helped the family.

The brothers raised lantern poles in the yard and hung big red lanterns made of Xu Shiqin.

Then he cut red paper, and Xu Shide wrote couplets with a large tiktok brush, the characters "Fu" and "Chun Strip".

The door, door, warehouse, pigpen, chicken coop, all are pasted.

There is a warehouse full of grain on the top of the warehouse, a pigpen full of fat pigs on the top of the chicken coop, and a golden rooster on the top of the chicken coop. What else can you see when you go out and see when you look up?

After sticking this circle, the New Year atmosphere is stronger. With the previous posting of the wedding window flowers, the red yard is even more joyful.

I was busy pasting couplets outside, and I was busy cooking in the house. According to the rules of the Xu family, there were three meals on New Year's Eve.

Eat casually in the morning, have a reunion dinner around 4 pm, and make dumplings to stay up to the New Year at night.

There are four wives in the family. Su Anying is almost seven months pregnant, and Wu Qiuyan is more than three months pregnant.

These two pregnant women can't do much work, so they can only help wash vegetables, chopped green onions, garlic, etc. The main reason is Zhou Guilan and Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong to work.

New Year’s Eve reunion dinner, one meal all year round, that’s a big deal.

Therefore, Zhou Guilan had to take the stove himself and cook some dishes that she couldn't eat on weekdays.

For example, the traditional dishes of the Xu family, the silly chicken and the Buddha-hand cabbage are all necessary every year.

Humeng chicken is actually chopping the chicken into pieces, marinating it with seasonings, then wrapping the batter and frying it in the pan.

If a chicken is done, it can be fried and then stewed in soup.

No one can tell which piece of meat is inside the batter, so it is called Dutu Chicken.

In fact, this is the solution that has to be figured out in difficult years.

There is not much stewed with a chicken directly, but this can make a large pot and carry it to eat.

The Buddha-hand cabbage is simple. Scallop the cabbage with boiling water and slice it into thin slices.

Scratch the leaves a few times, wrap the meat filling inside, and steam it in a pot.

By doing this, the cabbage absorbs the umami flavor of the meat filling and relieves the greasiness of the meat, making it fragrant and sweet at the mouth.

In addition to these two traditional dishes, there are potatoes stewed with rabbit meat, sauerkraut stewed with big bones, fried roe deer meat, fried croquettes, mushrooms and dried fruit platters, skin jelly, pig's trotters, stewed fine scale fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and exactly ten dishes, perfect.

The rabbit meat and roe deer meat were naturally brought back by Xu Shiyan before, and he also fished for the fine scale fish on the river.

There is a fish at the reunion dinner, and it has surplus every year, which has a good meaning.

"It's a good thing that the third brother has brought back has not eaten all the meat, so we just kept it for the New Year to add vegetables.

This year, all of these ten dishes are hard dishes, allowing the children to eat openly and eat whatever they want."

Zhou Guilan ordered the menu early, and while busy with fried chicken, she was talking to Xue Xiulin and the others.

Xue Xiulin was cutting sauerkraut over there. Listening to her mother-in-law praising her brother-in-law, her hand cutting vegetables stopped.

In the past, this third uncle was the least present in the family. He didn't speak any words on weekdays and was not at all conspicuous.

But now, the one who is most praised by parents-in-law is the third brother-in-law.

Why didn’t I think my third brother-in-law is so capable?

"Mom, I forgot to ask if you didn't say it, who did the third brother learn to hunt? No one in our family knows this, no one teaches him, how could he do it?"

Xue Xiulin was puzzled, as if she had changed since her brother-in-law got married.

Zhou Guilan stopped when she was frying chicken, "Yes, I really forgot to ask, who did the third brother learn this skill?

In the past, I just saw him catching fish and shrimps, but I didn’t know that he would still hunt? I really had to ask him when I had time."

After saying this, Zhou Guilan became curious. Yes, no one in the Xu family knows this, who did the third brother learn from?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and chatting, cooking and frying in the kitchen.

Until after three o'clock in the afternoon, all kinds of dishes were prepared and served on the table.

There are many people in the family, and there are still two tables in the south kang north kang. Xu Chenghou and his sons and two new daughters-in-law who have entered the house this year have dinner at the south kang.

Xue Xiulin, Wei Mingrong, and Xu Shiqin took a group of kids to the north kang. Both tables were the same dishes, so they could eat them casually.

Xu Shiyan looked on the table and found that it was full of meat and vegetables, so he hurriedly asked his mother.

"Mom, I remember last time I got some Yamana tumbled pieces, grape cakes, red skins in the mountains, etc., right?

Where have you put it? Find it and soak it in water and steam it in a pot.

This dish is good, but if I eat it this way, I'm afraid the children will have indigestion."

If these dishes were eaten on a daily basis, they would be nothing if they were eaten together with other dishes.

But all of them were placed on them all at once, for fear that the children would lose count of their diet and would easily cause indigestion.

If you have diarrhea tomorrow morning, it will be bad.

The red mountain is wild hawthorn, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach to promote digestion. The grape cake is sour and sweet, and it can enhance the appetite and relieve greasiness.

Put them in a basin and steam them, just like drinking juice, which is good for the children.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot about this.

Just thinking about how rare there are so many delicious foods, the children are allowed to eat openly, but they forget that their spleen and stomach are weak."

Zhou Guilan was reminded by her son and suddenly realized.

Not? Even if the house has not been broken this winter, my stomach is still empty after all.

If you eat like this, adults may still give in, but how can the children bear it?

So Zhou Guilan quickly went to the ground and found out what Xu Shiyan had brought back from the cabinet.

Grab some of the pear tuples, mountain grape cakes, mountain red skins, etc. and put them in a basin. Wash them twice with clean water, then add clean water and steam them in a pot.

Xu Chenghou watched his wife work hard and suddenly remembered what she was like when she was in her hometown in Kuandian.

"Oh, when I was young, our family was still in the silver mine. When it was autumn, you would make these things.

The same is true during the Chinese New Year. Steam a pot, it will be sour and sweet, and the taste will be very good.”

"Our family had good conditions at that time, with dozens of acres of land and a very large orchard, with peaches, sand fruits and pears inside.

There are so many pear trees in our house, all over the ridge are covered with sour tips, flat top fragrance, flower-covered pears, frozen pears, and all kinds of them.”

Xu Chenghou seemed to have touched some switch and talked about his hometown.
