I just want to enjoy life

Chapter 434 442 New Year's Eve
The next day, February 2th, Saturday, today is New Year's Eve.

Because Lin Haocang drank a lot of wine last night, he only woke up at noon, had a simple lunch, and played games with Luo Xueqiong for a while.

Because the nanny at home was also on vacation, so this time it was Lin Haocang, and Luo Xueqiong went to the supermarket with his parents.

Although already a wealthy family, Lin Haocang's family still bought some New Year's goods and ingredients in the supermarket like ordinary citizens.

When it was five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Qingyan saw that it was getting late, and was about to get up to prepare dinner!

"It's five o'clock! I'll go get ready! Let's eat dumplings on New Year's Eve. I'll make some noodles first, and then make some dumplings!" Luo Qingyan said as she got up and went to the kitchen.

"Mom! I'll go with you!" Luo Xueqiong couldn't sit still, seeing that Luo Qingyan was busy, Luo Xueqiong wanted to help.

"No need! Mom can do it soon, you will only be a disservice!!" Luo Qingyan had already walked to the dining table while speaking!

"I don't have it, I want to help, hehe!" Luo Xueqiong followed behind Luo Qingyan,
"Okay, okay! Then you can help mom!" Luo Qingyan wasn't too polite, Luo Qingyan was really happy because Luo Xueqiong was so sensible!

Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong were in the kitchen making noodles and mixing minced meat. Lin Haocang couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and looked at the minced meat prepared by Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong in the kitchen.

After smelling it, it happened to be minced mutton. Lin Haocang looked as if Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong were still working on another kind of minced meat, so he asked casually, "Mom! Did you prepare two kinds of minced meat?"

"Three kinds! Beef! Mutton! Pork!" Luo Qingyan glanced back at Lin Haocang, and replied with a smile.

"Then what kind of minced meat are you using?" Lin Haocang felt that Luo Qingyan seemed to have cooked too much, so he couldn't help asking again.

"Pork!" Luo Xueqiong answered while helping Luo Qingyan.

Lin Haocang didn't look at the color of the minced meat in the kitchen, otherwise, Lin Haocang would be able to tell it at a glance!

"Then let's not make pork! I'll make some Sixi balls with pork stuffing! Just make dumplings with mutton and beef meat!" Lin Haocang walked into the kitchen, and after Luo Qingyan and Luo Qingyan Xue Qiong said behind them.

"Sixi meatballs! That's fine! Anyway, you cook!" Luo Qingyan heard Lin Haocang say this, guessed in her heart, felt that beef and mutton were enough, so she nodded.

"Come on! Then leave the pork for me! I'll make it later!" Seeing Luo Qingyan nodding, Lin Haocang smiled and said something to Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong, and then slipped away!
In fact, in previous years, Luo Qingyan would not have prepared three types of meat-filled dumplings, because in previous years, there were four members of a family, and eating beef or mutton alone was enough!
What's more, in the past, they were not wealthy families, relying on the personal salaries of Lin Haitao and Luo Qingyan, the combined monthly salary was actually not much, so naturally Luo Qingyan had to be more careful!

However, this year is different.

····
Just like that, Lin Haocang swiped his phone for a while in the living room, and chatted with his father. In less than ten minutes, Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong made two small cages of beef stuffed dumplings. The remaining beef stuffed dumplings had to be placed on the kneading board because the cage used to put the dumplings was gone.

However, after a while, these dumplings are also boiled in the pot, so they can be placed anywhere now!

It took another ten, twenty, ten minutes, Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong finished making the remaining mutton stuffed dumplings, and now the kitchen can be handed over to Lin Haocang to make Sixi meatballs!

For this dinner on the night of the New Year's Eve, the most important thing is to have a family reunion and eat dumplings. As for the dishes, do you pay much attention to them!
Lin Haocang also started making Sixi meatballs.

Time passed slowly.

···
"Besides Sixi meatballs! What else do you want to eat!" Lin Haocang asked back while preparing the meat stuffing for Sixi meatballs in the kitchen.

"Let's have another three delicacies from the ground! These two days, big fish and meat that are easy to eat as soon as the Chinese New Year, if you continue to eat like this, you will definitely get angry!" Luo Qingyan said hastily.

Luo Xueqiong, who was beside Luo Qingyan, thought for a while, and said a vegetarian dish: "Hey, is it okay to vinegar cabbage?"

"Of course!" Lin Haocang couldn't help replying with a smile when he heard Luo Xueqiong's question.

Time passed slowly.

"Why are you here?" Lin Haocang was about to hold the minced meat to smell if the minced meat was already tasty, when he suddenly saw Luo Xueqiong appearing beside him, and asked casually.

"Shall I learn how to cook with the chef?" Luo Xueqiong said to Lin Haocang with a smile.

"Learning to cook, when did you become so self-motivated?" Lin Haocang teased Luo Xueqiong with a smile.

"Hmph, I can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen, do you understand?"

"Hey, by the way, aren't Sixi meatballs and braised lion's head a dish?" Luo Xueqiong heard Lin Haocang say this, saw Lin Haocang still processing the meat stuffing, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask Lin Haocang said a word.

"Sixi meatballs are of course different from braised lion heads." Before Lin Haocang finished his sentence, he suddenly realized that if he really wanted to make Sixi meatballs, a problem would arise.

Sixi balls belong to Shandong cuisine. They are composed of four balls with golden color, overflowing fragrance and lifelike shape, implying happiness, fortune, longevity and joy in life.It is often used as the finale dish in banquets such as wedding banquets and birthday banquets, in order to take its auspicious meaning.People usually think that Sixi meatballs are braised lion heads, but this is actually a wrong idea.

Therefore, there are only four Sixi balls, and the four balls of Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi, one for each person is definitely not enough!Will we have to separate them one by one?
Thinking of this, Lin Haocang couldn't help turning his head to look at Luo Xueqiong: "What do you think I changed Sixi balls into braised lion heads?"

"Didn't you say that Sixi meatballs are different from braised lion heads?" Luo Xueqiong was still thinking about what Lin Haocang said earlier about the difference between Sixi meatballs and braised lion heads. Now that Lin Haocang said this, he suddenly became a little confused .

"That's right! Lion's head is a lion's head! Lion's head is a traditional famous dish, which belongs to Huaiyang cuisine. It is said that the practice of lion's head began in the Sui Dynasty. It has the characteristics of white color, tender meat, mellow fragrance, and is suitable for all seasons .

The so-called "lion head", to put it simply, is big meatballs. In Mandarin, it is big meatballs, but there are crab meat, crab roe, pork, and seasonings in the meat.For example: "The pork is fat and tender, the crab powder is delicious, and the cabbage heart is crispy. You have to eat it with a spoon. After eating, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant. It will be unforgettable for a long time." Lin Haocang explained to Luo Xueqiong with great effort. A lion's head.

But seeing Luo Xueqiong's half-knowing expression, Lin Haocang finally couldn't help but say: "You remember this, Sixi meatballs are Shandong cuisine, braised lion head is Huaiyang cuisine!"

"Okay!" Luo Xueqiong heard Lin Haocang say this, although he still couldn't help thinking about the difference between the two in his heart, he responded with his mouth.

"Mom! Shall we eat braised lion's head?" Lin Hao Cang couldn't help but turned his head and shouted at Luo Qingyan.

"Is there any difference between Sixi meatballs and braised lion heads?" Luo Qingyan actually asked Lin Haocang the same question.

"Ahem!" Listening to his mother's words, Lin Haocang almost choked on his own saliva.Originally, Lin Haocang thought that Luo Xueqiong asked this question rather cutely, and Luo Qingyan also asked the same question, Lin Haocang was very depressed.

"We'll eat whatever you do!" Luo Qingyan added without waiting for Lin Haocang to speak.

"Okay, okay!" What else could Lin Haocang say, but naturally he agreed!

In fact, he knows a lot about food, and he used to like to study these things.

·······
Lin Haocang turned around and started making braised lion heads. Just like what Lin Haocang and Luo Xueqiong introduced just now, they are actually big meatballs.

But the main ingredients in the meat are crab meat, crab roe, pork, and seasonings. These are among the dishes. Lin Haocang really lacks one thing, and that is crab!
When buying ingredients in the supermarket before, Lin Haocang and Luo Qingyan thought that the crabs were not fresh, so they didn't buy them!
As a result, now, crabs are used, but there are really no more!
In desperation, Lin Haocang had no choice but to stop putting crab meat and crab roe in the lion's head!

cough cough!In other words, Lin Haocang himself felt that such an ingredient was missing, so that the braised lion head seemed to be no different from Sixi meatballs.

Got it!Thinking of this, Lin Haocang felt tired!

·····
After looking at the time, after hesitating for a long time, it was past ten past six!
Lin Haocang didn't dare to dawdle any longer!I started to make the lion head directly.

Because Luo Xueqiong was watching beside him, Lin Haocang didn't do it very fast. Although Lin Haocang didn't explain much about each process step, Luo Xueqiong still let Luo Xueqiong understand it!
As for whether Luo Xueqiong can remember it, Lin Haocang can't control that much. If she remembers it, it means that Luo Xueqiong's mind is very flexible. If she can't remember it, then I will explain it to her in detail next time. !

"You didn't see how to make the meat stuffing before, so let's start with making the meatballs! Next time I will tell you how to make the meat stuffing!" Lin Haocang said.

Luo Xueqiong was originally staring at the movements of Lin Haocang's hands very seriously, but now when he heard Lin Haocang speak, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Haocang. In Lin Haocang's eyes, Lin Haocang really felt that Luo Xueqiong was indeed studying hard.

So Lin Haocang couldn't help doing it again and started to explain: "Hold out the meatballs with your hands for later use, pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pan, heat it to [-]% heat, put in the meatballs, fry until the outside is golden brown, remove and drain the oil .

The meatballs are most afraid of falling apart after being placed in the pan, so they should be deep-fried for 2 minutes on high heat to set the shape, and then immediately turn to low heat so that they will not be burnt. "

While talking, Lin Haocang operated and fried six meatballs, and these six chubby meatballs directly used up the pork stuffing Lin Haocang prepared.

Pour out the oil in the pot and replace it with clean water, Lin Haocang continued: "Pour out the oil in the pot, put the meatballs back, add some soup or water, bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for about 12 minutes, add Fungus, bamboo shoots, white sugar, pepper, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine, boil until the soup is almost dry, and finally thicken it with water starch and serve it out, and surround the side of the plate with small rapeseed. This is a relatively short-term method.”

These seasonings and ingredients are all comparable to Lin Haocang, the fungus has been soaked, and the bamboo shoot is the most tender one.

After putting it away, bring to a boil and then turn to low heat, and slowly stew for about an hour!
At this time, Lin Haocang looked at his watch and realized that it is only [-]:[-], the lion's head is slowly stewing in this pot first!In this hour now, Lin Haocang is going to cook a few other dishes!

In addition to the ground delicacies and vinegared cabbage requested by Luo Qingyan and Luo Xueqiong, Lin Haocang also planned to heat up a few dishes that Luo Qingyan said to be hot. skill based.

Although it may not be as fragrant as the first time it was made, Lin Haocang can still work hard to retain more of the taste of the dishes.

Lin Haocang heated up a pot in the kitchen!As for Luo Xueqiong, he was working as a little assistant on the side, handing over various seasonings and ingredients to Lin Haocang!

Then after Lin Haocang finished frying the dishes, he handed over the plate, and then waited for Lin Haocang to serve the dishes before taking them over, and then put them on the dining table outside the kitchen.

The cooperation between the two is called a tacit understanding, and Lin Haocang is quite satisfied with this little chef!
It took Lin Haocang about 10 minutes to finish all the dishes to be cooked, and all the dishes that should be hot were also hot!
At this time, it was almost just the early seven o'clock, and now, the braised lion's head stewed by the guy on the other gas stove was still a bit undercooked!
Lin Haocang lifted the lid of the pot, and took a look at the braised lion's head in the pot. Now, the color of the braised lion's head is still slightly out of place!As for Lin Haocang, he took a spoon and poured the soup in the pot on top of the braised lion's head a few times.

Just in time, taking advantage of these few minutes, Lin Haocang and Luo Xueqiong brought all the hot meals to the table.

"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat!" Lin Haocang looked at the neatly placed bowls and chopsticks on the table, and smiled at Luo Xueqiong, then Lin Haocang yelled into the living room.

"Okay!" Lin Haitao responded quickly, because Lin Haitao was also a little hungry!
As for Luo Qingyan, she walked to the dining table with Luo Xueqiong who came over, ready to taste the delicious food made by Lin Haocang
Looking at his watch, it happened that it was just twenty past seven, and Lin Haocang reached out and lifted the lid of the braised lion's head pot.

Immediately, a strong aroma of meatballs burst out from the pot, and then rushed directly into the kitchen to the dining table not far outside the kitchen!

"Okay, okay! Let's eat, eat!" Lin Haitao watched Luo Xueqiong and Lin Haocang come out of the kitchen one after the other, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

This son can not only make a lot of money, but also cook delicious food, which really makes him very proud.

Lin Haocang placed the braised lion head on the space left in the middle of the dining table, and then sat down next to Lin Haitao.

So the family began to eat dinner. The picture is very warm, harmonious and enjoyable.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the house together.

After finishing all this, Lin Haocang was sweating all over, took a simple bath, and watched a few episodes of TV with his family, then he went back to the bedroom, texted his women, and sent red envelopes!
Everyone sent 520!
