reborn peasant mother

Chapter 41

After Chuanxiu went out, Feng Yujiang was the only one who made the dumplings on the New Year's Eve night.In the early afternoon, she began to cut meat and chop stuffing, discussing whether the children could put a little cabbage in, so that the dumpling stuffing would be softer.

"No, no cabbage, Mom, you promised to make only meat dumplings." Gangzi resolutely objected.

Feng Yujiang had to peel a few more scallions, chopped pork belly and scallions to make stuffing together.Thinking about how to make the dumpling filling softer, she simply added two eggs and mixed well.

Looking at most of the stuffing in the porcelain pot, Feng Yujiang thought, this time is really rich enough.There are no daughters in the village to give New Year gifts, and those who are not well-to-do may not be able to cut two catties of meat after a year.

Prepare the dumpling stuffing for later use. The dumplings were made during the vigil on the [-]th night, and they were saved for the first day of the new year.Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is enough to be busy for a while.

In the yard, Zhong Jipeng grabbed the big rooster that Zhong Chuanxiu gave as a New Year gift, and under the adoring eyes of Shanzi and Gangzi, he took a kitchen knife and wiped the neck of the rooster calmly. The chicken casually threw it on the ground, and was about to ask the child to pour boiling water to pluck its feathers, but the chicken was not dead, it flew a long way, and flew all the way to the courtyard wall, only to be caught by the screaming and laughing two people. A child was caught.

Shanzi stepped on the chicken wings with his feet, and Gangzi poked with a branch, the chicken twitched again, Gangzi jumped back in fright, and ran away screaming.

Zhong Jipeng looked at the small half bowl of chicken blood on the ground, and laughed while holding a kitchen knife.

"Damn, why did you run away after killing me?"

"Hee hee, I almost became a flying chicken." Shan Zi also laughed.

When Feng Yujiang came out and saw the chicken blood dripping on the ground, he angrily brought a basin of water to wash it. Zhong Jipeng scalded the chicken in boiling water and plucked the hair, and handed it to Feng Yujiang.

"Dad, uncle can also cook, why can't you cook?" Gangzi asked him.

"Who said I can't cook? I followed the production team to dig river workers. I was a small person, and I beat the old man who was in charge of cooking for several months! You can see it."

Gangzi said, "Then why don't you cook? Just eat."

"Go away. Big man, who do you think is going to get into that pot house?"

Feng Yujiang made stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage as usual, fried a small rooster with dried red pepper, stewed half a carp left over from Xiaonian's day, made a few sticks of spinach and boiled a dish of bean porridge, and then fried the lotus root, It's packed in a plate like peanuts, six decent dishes.

"The fish is not good enough to eat. Keep half of it. That's more than a year." Zhong Jipeng ordered.Erya took the words and said:

"Dad, with such a table of dishes, it goes without saying that I can't eat them. Well, this stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli is delicious."

The meals on the night of the New Year's Eve are all cooked extra, and they are saved to eat "the next year's Chen" on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year's Day, so as to make a fortune that is more than enough for years.So the stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli is a big pot as usual.Each of the children can eat two or three of the hot steamed buns, and they will have a full belly with the delicious food.

"Half-sized children eat poor old people. All the little things can eat as much as adults." Zhong Jipeng said.

"Bah, what are you talking about, those who are older than the Chinese New Year can't speak." Mother Zhong scolded.

Zhong Jipeng hurriedly said: "Eat hard, eat hard, you can eat and work, you can make money, eat more and earn more."

The three children squeezed me, and I resisted you, laughing together.

After dinner, Feng Yujiang had just cleaned up the dishes when someone knocked on the door and slipped in.

It is Zhong Jipeng's eldest brother Zhong Jihu.

"His fourth uncle, have you bought firecrackers this year?"

Zhong Jipeng said: "I bought it. Shanzi's mother went to buy a set of firecrackers, and also bought a pair of Ertijiao."

"You lent me some. My family didn't buy firecrackers. For the Chinese New Year, I have to set off a few firecrackers. I'll be devastated."
