Chapter 166
166. Making New Year’s goods
"Okay, I'll give you a hundred yuan," Aunt Sun had never read a book, and the words she knew were limited to money. This was taught by Lin Qingxi after she got married, and the money was also given by Lin Qingxi.
After paying the money, Aunt Sun carried the things and rushed home. After walking a few steps, she met Zhou Guilin who came out to find her. He hurriedly took the big wooden barrel containing the things. The couple walked towards the house one by one, and the people behind continued to change meat.
When he got home, Lin Qingxi heard the news and walked out of the main hall. Seeing a large bucket of pig heads and pork head meat, she smiled and said, "Mom, you have gained a lot! I'll go and prepare a braised bun. Please take my sister to clean the pig heads and pig trotters. Dad, you have to let you burn the pig heads and the fine hairs on the pig trotters."
"Okay, you go and sit and rest. We can do these tasks," Zhou Guilin was honest and stupid, not very good at speaking, and was also very silent at home, but when it was his turn to do things, he was at the forefront. Lin Qingxi respected his father-in-law very much.
"I got it, I'll walk under the eaves and don't go out," Lin Qingxi said with a smile. Now it's time to prepare lunch. If you have changed your family so much meat, you must ask the eldest, second house and Zhou Guitang family to come for dinner.
But it was too late to have lunch, so I could only wait for the evening. After thinking about it, Lin Qingxi planned to wait for Lin Yizheng and the others to come back and let the children go to each family to invite someone to dinner.
Lin Qingxi walked back a few times down the eaves, then went back to the main hall to sit down. The kitchen was busy. The Zhou family loved to eat braised pig water and pork head meat. They also learned how to clean pig water from Lin Qingxi. They were all used to housework.
In the kitchen, Zhou Mingmin was responsible for cleaning the pigs' water, Zhou Guilin was responsible for handling pig heads and burning fire, and Aunt Sun specially prepared lunch. The children at home were all at home during holidays, so there were more people eating. Aunt Sun generously cut about a piece of pork belly, cut all into thin slices, and then gave birth to two taels of dried beans and two taels of dried black fungus.
Before preparing the dishes, Aunt Sun stewed two large rice and stewed a whole pound of rice. Because the food was distributed some time ago, Aunt Sun thought that it was not easy for children to study in the city. Lin Qingxi was more than five months pregnant, so she wanted to nourish the children and Lin Qingxi at home, so the food in the Zhou family was very good during this period.
"Mom, what's wrong with washing this pig with Xiyato's prescription, it really doesn't taste at all," Zhou Mingmin said while washing the pig with the pig.
"Girl Min, after dinner, you go to your uncle's house and ask your uncle's family to come to your house for dinner tonight, and invite your grandparents to stay at home for a while," Aunt Sun glanced at Zhou Guilin. Sure enough, he was very happy in his heart and said what he said, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
"I understand, mom, you are restraining the children from doing homework at home. It's so cold outside, don't let them run around," Zhou Mingmin responded without thinking. She was a widow who lived in her parents' home with three children. Dr. Lin saved the mother and son and helped her go to the Xie family to ask for compensation from the man, allowing her to build a house at her parents' home, and have enough confidence to face the gossip of the three aunts and sisters in the team, and can support herself and her three children. This is thanks to Lin Qingxi.
"Okay," Aunt Sun responded immediately. She had something to let the children do in the afternoon, so she naturally had to hold the children at home to work.
Soon, the lunch of the Zhou family was ready. The children who were playing outside had a dog nose and could smell the fragrance of their own food. The same was true for Lin Yizheng and the other seven. As soon as Zhou's mother set up the dishes, the seven children entered the yard. They all went to the kitchen to make hot water and wash their hands very consciously.
After washing their hands, they came to the main hall to eat. After the weather fell, Lin Qingxi was able to eat on the kang. The Zhou family had three meals a day on the kang. The meal was made by Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin. After Lin Qingxi's guidance, the mother and daughter were more and more willing to prepare the ingredients and became more and more delicious.
"Don't go out to play in the afternoon. Yizheng and Yirong are helping Grandpa Zhou deal with the dozen hares at home. Jingjing and Lulu clean up the guest room at home. Your Grandpa Zhou and Grandpa Zhou are going to stay at home for a few months. Yikang and Xiaoxu Xiaoyan go to your brother Mingren's house, Jiyuan's house, and Jihong's house take the homework assigned by me and tell them to complete within a week."
After a pause, Lin Qingxi took a sip of the soup and continued, "Go to your Grandpa Tang's house, Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa He's house again, and invite them to come to your house for dinner tonight, and then talk about coming to eat braised pork at home."
"I know, let's go after dinner," he heard Lin Qingxi's words, and the children responded directly. They dared not disobey Lin Qingxi's orders. Otherwise, there would be no good life and those who know the times are heroes, and they just made the right choice.
Seeing that the children were obedient, Lin Qingxi didn't say anything else and was concentrating on eating the food in the bowl. After she finished her meal, she walked back and forth in the main hall with her waist on her waist, and then rested for about ten minutes before going back to her room to take a nap.
After she fell asleep, the kitchen was very busy. After the children finished their meal, they went out to do what Lin Qingxi told him to do. There were still only Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin working in the kitchen. Two pigs were boiling in the pot, and Zhou's father was scraping the fine hairs on the pig next to him.
"His father, go to the carpenter's house to see if there are any big wooden barrels, just as big as bath barrels. If so, buy them back. There are too many pigs and pig heads. After the braising, you have to use the bath barrel to soak them all in the marinade to taste," Zhou's mother looked at the pigs in several wooden basins on the chopping board, and there were eight pairs of pigs in the water without braised.
"Okay, I'll go now," Zhou's father knew that Zhou's mother was right, so he naturally would not refute. He washed the handle, went back to the next room to get the money, and went directly to Carpenter Zhou's house.
It was already half an hour after he bought the bathtub. The pot of pig water in the pot had been braised. Zhou's mother took out the pig water and put it in the clean bathtub. She also took two scoops of marinade in the bathtub. Then she took two more scoops of pig water and put them in it. She added two more scoops of cold water and added some salt to continue boiling.
This is the case every time. After the pigs in the pot are braised, they will be taken out and put in the bathtub. Scoop two scoops of marinade into the bucket. When the pigs are marinated, they will be soaked in the bucket. When the pigs are braised, they will be filled with cold water and two spoons of salt. Then they will be boiled again. The pigs are dried quickly. But it will be past four o'clock. Not only is the pork head meat not yet braised, but the pig trotter soup has not been stewed yet.
But Zhou's mother was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, the people who came to the house for dinner were all her own people, so it was nothing to eat later. The children who went out to do their homework had already returned home to do their homework. Lin Qingxi also took a nap and sat in the main hall watching the children do their homework.
