Wen Family Has a Wife

Chapter 68 Lively Years ago

Even on the twenty-ninth day, she didn't have to go out to buy. The conditions were good, and Chen Ningya didn't want to lose the children's mouths, especially her two sons who were studying abroad. She knew that the academy would eat meat every three days, once every three days. It’s just two or three dollars. I eat eggs once every three days, and I only have vegetarian food for the rest of the day. The food is not bad compared to ordinary people, but it’s not much better, especially when the child is growing and has to study. Where is that enough.

Since she wants to eat delicious food, of course she can't be stingy. Fortunately, before the winter, she asked Wen Youshan to buy 50 catties of suet, refined a large jar of lard, and took most of the sesame seeds collected at home to the oil mill to squeeze it into sesame oil. , although the amount is not much, but it is enough for their family to eat.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Ningya ground the soybeans and mung beans at home. On the twenty-sixth, she began to make rice cakes and wrap them with sticky buns, that is, the rice cakes were filled with cooked soybeans and mung bean fillings. It will freeze into a hard block in a while, and when you want to eat it, just steam it and it will not spoil for two months.

Twenty-seven steamed steamed buns, stuffed with pork and white glutinous rice, and pure mutton stuffed with white noodles. Chen Ningya made 80 of them at once, enough for them to eat for a month.

Twenty-eight makes snacks, sweet sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, dense Fuling cakes, soft and soft hair cakes, both salty and sweet, these snacks alone are enough for children to be happy.

Twenty-nine began to braise pig trotters, pork, eggs and chestnuts. Braised things take a long time so that they can taste good. Braised today, when you want to eat it tomorrow, you can heat it up. Two small stoves, stewed lamb on one side Scorpion soup, simmered over low heat overnight, all the essence is in the soup, even the noodles are fresh enough.

On the 30th day of the new year, Chen Ningya got up early and started to fry meatballs, including pork and white sambal meatballs, octopus meatballs, shrimp meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, and taro meatballs. After the pot came out, most of the time had passed, and the fragrance wafted halfway across the village. When Sun Laifu came to deliver the food, he asked in a loud voice as soon as he entered the door: "Brother, what are you cooking here? The fragrance is so evil, the village Everyone has been scolding all morning."

"What are you scolding?" Wen Youshan clapped his hands, his face puzzled.

Sun Laifu rolled his eyes angrily, "What else can I scold, it's not because your delicious food made everyone's children cry, everyone was happy when the Chinese New Year was a big new year, but it's not good to be so troubled by the children. Fire."

"Is it my fault?" Wen Youshan was stunned.

Sun Laifu laughed, "I don't blame you for who? But it's your ability to live a good life, even if others are jealous."

People rely on their ability to eat, and this kind of thing can't be jealous.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more, let's go first." Sun Laifu turned around and was about to leave, Wen Youshan hurriedly stopped people, "Wait a minute, take something back for the children to taste."

He said that Wen Youshan carried Sun Laifu's basket into the kitchen, and after a while he handed the basket to him, covering the curtain Sun Laifu did not know what was inside, thanked him and left, and gave it to Xiao Li when he got home. Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li exclaimed, "My goodness, this is fried balls! No wonder the scent of Wen's family wafts all morning, tsk tsk tsk, it's just that Aning is willing to leave us alone. How dare we be so arrogant."

Not only meat but also oil. On weekdays, they use chopsticks to dip a little oil in the pan, and they are reluctant to make fried eggs, let alone croquettes.

When Xiao Li carefully took out the meatballs, he found that there were two large buns, six sticky buns, and a packet of snacks under the meatballs.

Now Xiao Li didn't know what to say, so Li and Sun Laifu came over to read it carefully, and the three of them frowned.

"Mother, let's just bring some vegetable dumplings and steamed buns, won't it be too shabby?" Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Li tentatively. The steamed buns they made were one size smaller than the Wen family's. Not much, but it's already a good thing for them.

Li shi nodded solemnly, "I really can't do it." After speaking, she sighed deeply, "But if you can't do it, there's nothing you can do.

The days of Youshan’s family are better every day, but we are still the same, we can’t compare, forget it, we will pick up more than a dozen eggs and send them over in a while. Not sure yet. "

When Sun Laifu heard it, he immediately went to pick up eggs. They have a lot of hens at home. They don't eat eggs very often.

Sun Laifu got a basket of food from the Wen family, and the Huang family, Zhang family Tao family, and the village chief also had a share. Everyone was shocked when they received the things from the Wen family. , can also return a similar New Year's gift. The Huang family made a lot of money this year because of calcined lime, and the things they gave in the past are not bad. The Zhang family and Tao family are inferior. Fortunately, Chen Ningya Do not care.

Croquettes in the morning and New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. This time, except for Wen Yuanxing, the whole family went to battle. Wen Yuanjing helped wash vegetables, Wen Yuanhong peeled shrimp and cooked fire, Wen Yuanzhen helped Chen Ningya, and Wen Yuanliang and Wen Youshan were in charge of fetching water and chopping wood. , The whole family was busy, but they felt extremely satisfied, and the laughter and laughter did not stop.

As soon as it got dark, Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya immediately set up the New Year's Eve dinner. The whole table was full. Not to mention the big fish and meat, there were many snacks, and even more rare was a small pot of small apples.

Wen Yuanliang and Wen Yuanhong were both stunned. They had been abroad for a year, and they could be considered a little knowledgeable. Apples are a precious thing. Although their family is a small apple, it is also an apple.

"Father and mother, where did you get the apples?" Wen Yuanliang asked out of his mouth.

Wen Youshan only glanced at it and said indifferently: "Oh, you said this little fruit, I met the mountain people when I entered the mountain, and exchanged two hares with them, only a basket, if not Your mother likes to eat these fruits, and I can't bear it."

Wen Yuanhong exclaimed: "Dad, your luck is really enviable, do you know how expensive this apple is!"

"Is it expensive?" Wen Youshan looked at Chen Ningya subconsciously.

Chen Ningya raised the corners of her mouth in a funny way and nodded slowly, "It's not cheap, but it's okay."

"It's good, my mother, I heard Hong Yu say that a big apple can be sold for 200 yuan in the city, and ordinary people don't even dare to touch it, so only rich people can afford it. Although this apple is not big, it is also an apple, so a pot like this is worth a few taels of silver." Wen Yuanliang's flesh was sore.

Wen Youshan just reached out to Apple's hand and shivered, almost throwing the apple in his hand, but fortunately, he caught it quickly, with a lingering look of fear, "It's okay, there are still dozens of pennies."

Everyone was stunned and laughed.
