Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 137 Sour Plum Soup

"Fanyue, Fanyu, we are preparing dinner for today's New Year's Eve dinner. Why didn't Fanyu see your mother?" Xie Fanxing saw that Mrs. Zhang and the others were teasing Xiaoguai and taught him to call someone. She smiled and took Fanyu with her. Yue and Fanyu went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for today.

"My mother! She was busy with burning bricks and asked me to wipe the windows and clean things up. My mother thought I didn't clean it up. She is free now. She is busy at home with cleaning!"

"Auntie is also restless, and she won't take a break today." Xie Fanxing shook his head and said.

Her aunt is too diligent, and she doesn't take a break at the age of thirty.

After coming to the kitchen, Xie Fanxing directly killed the fish, and told Fanyue to take a piece of bacon from the firewood room, clean it, and bring out some sausages.

Steam the bacon and sausage first.

As for Fan Yu, Xie Fanxing sent her to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Today's New Year's Eve, Xie Fanxing plans to make steamed bacon, steamed sausage, steamed pheasant soup, boiled live fish, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried vegetable moss, spicy screwdriver, stir-fried pork with rubbed vegetables, fried chicken with dried chili and garlic, spinach Steamed eggs, fried pork sausage with winter bamboo shoots, spicy rabbit meat, fried pork with carrots, fried pork with mustard greens, stir-fried peppers made of big green vegetables, shredded cabbage, hot and sour yellow tooth white, and sizzling leeks.

Xie Fanxing had just prepared the dishes for today, when there were bursts of firecrackers outside the house, and even bursts of green smoke rose from their village, like a dream.

It seems that every family is worshiping various bodhisattvas at home, praying for the safety of the family and the prosperity of the coming year.

Xie Fanxing prepared the dishes for today. She steamed the dishes to be steamed in the steamer first, so that she would not be too busy at that time, and the steamed dishes did not need to be taken out, and they were put in the steamer to keep warm.

Xie Fanxing made a lot of calculations, and there were enough food and drinks prepared, but for the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable that some drinks are needed, and this is still missing.

Xie Fanxing's heart moved, she wiped her hands on the scarf, and then went outside.

"Fanchen, do you have any medicinal materials such as black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, osmanthus, and licorice?" Xie Fanxing asked Fanchen who was teasing the little boy.

"Yes. Sister, do you want these? Why do you want these?" Fanchen turned his head and asked her elder sister.

"I'll figure it out, we're short of drinks today, so I'll make a drink out of these for you." Xie Fanxing planned to make a sour plum soup with local materials.

These medicinal materials are extremely common and cheap, presumably Fanchen will always have them in stock.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you." The Fanchen brothers and sisters also knew what the drink their elder sister was talking about was sweet water similar to drinking.

As soon as Fanchen heard that her elder sister was making a drink, and that the ingredients her elder sister said were not used or made before, Fanchen couldn't sit still, and didn't tease Xiaoguai, so he hurried to get it. These things were given to her eldest sister.

Xie Fanxing soaked dark plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, osmanthus, and licorice for half an hour.

After that, pour the soaked materials into the pot with water, add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for 40 minutes, turn off the heat, add an appropriate amount of sugar, stir until it melts, and simmer for 10 minutes.

After the boredom was over, Xie Fanxing filtered out the residue with gauze.

After taking out the pure sour plum soup, she added some honey into it, sprinkled some dried osmanthus, and asked Fanyue to put the sour plum soup outside for a while.

This kind of sour plum soup tastes more sour and refreshing.

After making the sour plum soup, Xie Fanxing looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she started to cook the dishes for today.

As soon as the pot was boiled here, her aunt walked into the kitchen and asked, "Fanxing, do you want my aunt to help me out?"

"Auntie, you and Uncle are busy all year round, even the sanitation of the house is done today, and the small things like the New Year's Eve dinner are left to me. With the help of Fanyue and Fanyu, I can do it too.

You just go to the front to crack melon seeds, eat some Chinese New Year fruits I made, chat with Uncle and Grandma, and just wait for the meal. "Xie Fanxing smiled at her aunt and waved her hand.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Qian also knows Fanxing's craftsmanship, and with the help of Fanyue and Fanyu, she no longer goes to the kitchen.

Xie Fanxing stir-fries very quickly. Two pots are put together to stir-fry. The steamed bacon, steamed sausage, and steamed pheasant soup are already steamed in a steamer. As long as the iron plate leeks are prepared, put down the red-hot charcoal to cook by yourself.

After Xie Fanxing cooked a dish, he served it out immediately, and Fanyue and the others would put it in the steamer to keep warm so as not to get cold.

After the cooking came to an end, Xie Fanxing saw that there were almost twenty dishes, and their table might not be able to fit such dishes, so Xie Fanxing asked Fanyu to go out and asked her uncle to bring their table.

"There is another dish that can be eaten after it's fried. Dad, my eldest sister has a lot of dishes today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to put them down. My eldest sister asked you to move our table over here."

"I'll move here right away." Everyone heard that they were going to have dinner.

Everyone got into action, washed their hands, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table, and plates of delicious and delicious dishes came out of the kitchen.

The people who watched it were dazzled, especially the sizzling leeks and boiled live fish, they were fresh and strange.

It's not just that Xie Fanxing didn't cook this kind of dish for them before, why did he put red charcoal to cook the dish, it seems to be like eating hot pot, but it's different.

"After frying some vegetables, put them into the pot and put red charcoal under them to continue cooking, such dishes will taste more delicious and fresher.

As for the leeks on the iron plate, just adjust the ingredients and add them to the chopped leeks, put the bottom into the red-hot charcoal, and when you eat, you can turn them by yourself, which adds a little fun to eating.

Most importantly, this is a lazy dish, which saves us time and effort. Seeing that everyone was a little surprised by these two dishes, Xie Fanxing explained with a smile.

"En! Then let's serve dinner." Mrs. Zhang said after seeing that the dishes were all served.

"Wait a minute, Fanyue! Bring the sour plum soup you made earlier and pour it for everyone." After Xie Fanxing said this, she ran to the warehouse.

"Second Sister, you're tired today, I'll go get sour plum soup." Fanchen heard this, and immediately ran to the backyard to get sour plum soup.

She is hungry for sour plum soup.

"Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt are thirty this year, let's have a drink." Xie Fanxing came out of the warehouse with a small flagon in hand, she shook the flagon and said to Mrs. Zhang and the three of them.

"Okay, but you are too young to drink, but your grandma and aunt and I can drink one." Xie Zhong saw Xie Fanxing coming out with a jug of wine, his eyes lit up and he nodded.

It seems that although his uncle drank less wine in the past, he is also a good drinker.
