Chapter 108
Time passed quickly, the excitement of Wang and Lao's family continued, Zhulan's family had more children, and the life was lively, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
The meaning of Zhulan and Zhou Shuren's first New Year in ancient times is different. Early in the morning, Zhou Shuren took his son and grandson to worship the ancestors first, and when they came back, they took out the red paper they bought earlier to write Spring Festival couplets.
Zhulan also discovered new skills. She cut window grilles according to Yuan's memory, and she cut them in style.
After the window grilles of the couplets were finished, Zhulan took her daughter-in-law and daughter to prepare lunch. Zhulan's family ate one more meal than other families.
Hot pot, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren have always missed it. Hot pot has been around for a long time. In the Song Dynasty, the way of eating hot pot was elaborated. Northerners like it very much in winter, but they mainly stew randomly. Hot pot in winter was very popular in the superficial dynasty, so It's not out of the ordinary for the two to eat hot pot. The restaurants in the county will launch hot pot every winter.
In order to eat hot pot, the couple bought a large ceramic pot and charcoal and came back. Zhou Shuren went to a restaurant to buy a charcoal base for the restaurant's hot pot.
The shabu-shabu meat, mutton that Zhulan has never been willing to eat, unfortunately can’t buy beef, the family has a lot of people and cut a lot of pork slices, the family bought five grass carp weighing more than three catties during the Chinese New Year, and Zhulan asked Li to slice one Grass carp washes the pot, and the vegetarian dishes are simple, only frozen tofu, tofu, radish, cabbage, and potatoes.
The soup base is chicken soup and big bone soup, don't even think about the sauce, the hot pot in the restaurant in the county does not have sauce, there are chopped green onion and chili noodles at the top.
In fact, to put it bluntly, there is a lot of difference between hot pot and modern hot pot. According to Zhulan, the hot pot in a restaurant is just a stew pot.
There are many Zhulan family members, and there is no time to eat them one by one. The two pots are neatly stacked and stewed directly over charcoal fire.
The whole family sat down for lunch, and when the lid of the hot pot was lifted, both the adults and the children would drool, and the eyes of the children were all on the meat, no, it should be said that except for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, the whole family was staring at it. Meat.
This is the first time that I am so generous during the Chinese New Year, but I can eat meat!
Zhou Shuren moved his chopsticks, and couldn't bear the eyes of his sons, so he coughed, "It's delicious, let's move your chopsticks!"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw chopsticks flying.
The whole family has never eaten hot pot, only heard of its name, never dared to expect it, and today it has come true.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are the family members. Zhulan controls the food. She has long stopped eating meat. Instead, she likes to eat something refreshing. The two of them eat tofu and cabbage the most. At the beginning, no one touches the fish slices, only Zhulan and Zhou Shuren .
Later, seeing how delicious they were, the eyes of the sons lit up after trying it, but it was a pity that the amount of one fish, one chopstick per person, was gone.
Li's eyes were full of tears, it was so delicious, he picked it up for the children while eating.
Mrs. Zhao's speed is not slow, because she only takes care of her daughter and eats more than Mrs. Li. Mrs. Zhao feels that she is blessed, and she is confinement before the Chinese New Year, and there is no shortage of delicious food.
Because Zhulan took care of Jiang Du, Xuemei only needed to feed her daughter, and she ate a lot. Ever since she returned to her natal home, Xuemei had long accepted the fact that her mother had good food. For lunch, she cut eight catties of mutton and pork. There are also five catties. Whose New Year is so extravagant, if it is not good for a married woman to bring her son-in-law to live in her mother's house for a long time, Xuehan would like to live with her child for a long time.
Jiang Sheng at the next table was embarrassed to eat for free from the beginning, and gradually became natural. The Yue family really did not dislike their family, especially these days, not only copying books to make money, but also reading books brought back by his father-in-law, let alone sons and daughters. Living in Yue's house, he doesn't even want to leave!
A hot pot meal is so lively that you can grab it for a piece of meat.
Zhulan smiled, it was lively, the more lively it was, the more emotional it would be, no matter if they were blood relatives or strangers, they had to get along with each other to have a deep relationship, it seems that Chang Lian didn't target Rong Chuan anymore.
After eating hot pot, the whole family was warmed up after eating, and the children and adults were drowsy.
