Qiao Lan didn't expect that someone would want to buy the tofu she made for the first time.

Qiao Lan: "It's not a valuable thing. If you give someone two yuan, door to door, you don't have to collect the money."

Wang took Qiao Lan's advice, took a plate and came out of the kitchen, and picked up three large pieces of tofu for her sister-in-law opposite.

The Duan family makes a lot of tofu and can cut it into more than a dozen pieces, which can be eaten in two days. Wang has gone to the neighbor's house several times to buy vegetables and knows that there are many people in the neighborhood. Three pieces of tofu can make two big bowls of food.

The woman next door happily took the plate and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Wang!" She then raised her money bag and asked, "How much does this tofu cost?"

She just sold her chickens and is very rich!

Mrs. Wang raised her lips and smiled, "My mother said, I don't need any money, I will give it to you."

The woman was extremely surprised. She didn't seem to have expected that the old lady of the Duan family would be so easy to get along with. She heard rumors in the village that the old lady was a powerful person.

The man who was cheating and playing tricks in the family fields was found out. She must be a very shrewd old lady.

"How can this be done? You have worked hard to make this tofu, so how can I get it for nothing?" the woman said.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, "We are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite. Besides, our family often eats your food."

The Duan family buys groceries from their neighbors, and the neighbors buy more and give them as gifts.

Hearing this, the woman immediately understood and said, "Wait a moment, I will put the tofu home and return the plate to you."

After a while, the woman not only brought the plate, but also several fresh vegetables from her own field.

Mrs. Wang planned to give her money, but was stopped by the other party because she couldn't get the tofu for free, so she could only take the food and go to the kitchen, and then tell Qiao Lan.

After hearing this, Qiao Lan said, "I will make some tofu before the Chinese New Year, and then I will give them more."

Wang nodded.

The sun sets early in winter, so Duan Mingqing comes back before dark every day. Today he came back early with a load of things on horseback.

I didn't buy beef bones, but I did buy pork bones. The meat on them had been trimmed off, leaving only some fascia.

Qiao Lan asked her daughter-in-law to wash the bones and prepare them for soup.

Also cleaned was the chicken bought from the neighbor's house. Qiao Lan stuffed some ingredients into it and put it in a basin.

Mrs. Shang was helping in the kitchen in the evening. When she saw this, she asked out of curiosity: "Mom, aren't the chickens used for making soup?"

Qiao Lan: "Bone soup is enough."

Although the bones can be used to stew soup, the taste is obviously much lighter than that of chicken soup. Shang's cooking skills are not very good. Seeing that the old lady had made up her mind, she started cooking next to her.

The next morning, the children woke up early to the smell.

One by one, they got dressed and went to the kitchen while washing up.

I saw red-hot charcoal in the small stove in the main room, and the strange brick stove in the yard was also lit. For a while, the greed in my stomach became fierce.

One by one, they came forward and asked, "Mom, what are you doing for dinner today?"

What to do today?

The three sisters-in-law didn't know much about it, so they just prepared the dishes according to Qiao Lan's instructions and waited for Qiao Lan to get up.

"We'll find out when grandma comes."

The children are looking forward to it more and more.

Qiao Lan got up a little later than usual today, mainly because she was thinking about the food she was going to make today last night and couldn't sleep because she was greedy.

Seeing the children gathered in the yard one by one, Qiao Lan took a look and said, "Aren't you going to study today?"

Duan Yutao stared at the hot stove with his round eyes. Nothing was placed in it, but he seemed to have imagined how delicious the food cooked in the stove would be. He wiped the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth and said, "Grandma,

You said you would study for a few days and then take a day off, and today is the time to take a rest."

Qiao Lan: "Grandma forgot!" It's easy to forget things when you get older.

Seeing how many children are so greedy, they probably have no intention of studying anymore.

Qiao Lan: "Let's go play then. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

The children nodded and took today's protagonist Duan Siyu to play in their yard, waiting for the adults at home to cook.

Duan Siyu can now speak some simple sentences, and her brothers, sisters, parents and grandma can all call her clearly.

It's just that her brothers and sisters usually have to study and rarely play with her. Today, there are so many people teasing her together, which makes her very happy. The little girl's giggles can't be heard in the yard.

Duan Mingqing did not go to the city to do work today. Qiao Lan told Duan Siyu's first birthday party and asked him if he wanted to stay at home and have a meal together. Duan Mingqing naturally agreed.

When the two little girls saw Duan Mingqing at home, they stuck to each other and wanted to play with their father. Duan Mingchen took out a book from the house and asked Duan Mingqing for advice. Duan Mingqing sometimes coaxed his daughter and sometimes taught his younger brother.

Everyone in the old house was happy, except Duan Mingjing, who was not very happy after cleaning the chicken coop.

snort!

Thinking about the delicious food for lunch, the children didn't eat much. When they were playing in the yard, they were already so greedy by the smell. When the dishes were brought to the table one by one, they stood outside the gate and started to look at them.

Duan Mingjing came back after adding fuel to the fire. He saw the boy at home with his head raised at the door of the hall, and was about to give him a lesson for being rude and polite.

A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and the aroma of food slipped into his nose.

Duan Mingjing had not eaten delicious food for several months. He was really greedy and swallowed back the words he had not spoken. He looked at the children at the door and felt that something was wrong. After all, he was acting like his elders.

, "Don't stand at the door blocking..."

He saw Qiao Lan again and said, "Go and wash your hands!"

The children rushed to the well one by one to fetch water and wash their hands.

Qiao Lan and her daughter-in-law brought the prepared food to the table one by one.

On such a cold day, it's perfect to eat hot pot.

After simmering the pork bone soup for half the night, the essence of the bones was cooked out. White radish and various mountain mushrooms were added, and the pork ribs were cooked for two hours. It was even more delicious and the meat was fragrant.

This pork ribs, radish and mushroom soup is the base of the soup. In addition, Qiao Lan also prepared vegetables, fried beans and fruits, fried lotus root boxes, croquettes, tofu, yams, etc.

Qiao Lan made tofu for fried beans and fruits. Whether it was the recipe in her memory that was reliable or the skills of her daughters-in-law, the tofu was cooked very well, and the fried beans and fruits were also very fragrant.

The fried beans and fruits filled with soup have a unique taste and are Qiao Lan's favorite food.

There were no fat beef or lamb and various kinds of shrimp, fish and meatballs, so I fried a pot of meatballs with minced tofu mixed with chopped pork and radish, and added lotus roots sent by the villagers to make a few simple fried foods.

As for the three chickens, Qiao Lan made them into roasted chickens. They marinated them with onions, garlic, soy sauce, and salt overnight to remove the fishy smell, and then brushed them with the prepared sauce, steamed them, and then grilled them. The chickens were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

juice.

Although the chicken soup is good, it seems to Qiao Lan that it is difficult to fully enjoy it, but the roasted chicken is still delicious.
