Rebirth of farming for a living

This dumpling meal needs to be done first, and some diligent people will start setting off firecrackers before the end of the day.

Mrs. Wang was very indifferent. She didn't want to catch up with her son. The family was enjoying themselves slowly and even gave Awang a piece of noodles to play with.

Li Qiuyan was good at other things, but he was average at making dumplings, maybe because he had too much stuffing.

At the last moment, I reminded myself to put less stuffing, so that the wrapping became more attractive.

Not to mention Jiang Zhe, who lives alone and has never made dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

The dumplings he made were swaying all over the place, and Li Qiuyan laughed at him for a while.

Wang rolled the skin very quickly, and placed the rolled skin on the sorghum curtain sprinkled with cornmeal. Li Qiuyan, Li Xiangnan and Jiang Zhe could not wrap it up by one person.

I ordered water three times, and when the white and fat dumplings came out of the pot, it was just past midnight.

Li Xiangnan set up the firecrackers, brought two small bowls of dumplings to the statue of the God of Wealth and the Stove Lord, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

He took another bowl to the yard and muttered something.This is a wish to God to bless you with good weather in the coming year.

When Awang saw Li Xiangnan's signal, he took the incense and lit the firecrackers.

There was a crackle.

The smell of gunpowder accompanied the aroma of dumplings, and Li Qiuyan felt extremely relieved.

Li Xiangnan's operation was completed, but he still couldn't eat the pot of dumplings.

For the same reason as at noon, Li Xiangnan carried a bowl and went to deliver dumplings everywhere.

Wang continued to make the second pot.

Li Qiuyan ate this pot of dumplings.

Mrs. Wang asked Li Qiuyan not to wait for Li Xiangnan to come back, but to put out everything cooked in the second pot first, and let Jiang Zhe, Li Qiuyan and Awang each take a bowl to eat.

Li Qiuyan took a bite of the meat filling and it tasted bright.I couldn't help but marvel.

Li Xiangnan just came back: "My mother said our dumplings are delicious."

After saying that, he also took a bowl and started eating.

Wang laughed after hearing this.Then he asked everyone with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

Awang tasted it: "It's delicious, it's delicious, the dumpling wrappers are the best, the dumpling wrappers are delicious."

Mrs. Wang smiled, the dumplings made from pure white flour must have delicious skin.

Jiang Zhe ate without raising his head. Such delicious dumplings made him feel warm everywhere, including his heart.

Li Qiuyan ate a full bowl before putting down his chopsticks.

When the new pot came out, Wang poured a large ladle into Jiang Zhe's bowl.

Li Qiuyan hurriedly covered the bowl. She was really full.

Li Xiangnan handed the bowl to him, asking for more.

Mrs. Wang gave Li Qiuyan another bowl of dumpling soup. The original soup turned into original food, and Li Qiuyan drank it slowly.

After cleaning up the dumpling stall, Li Qiuyan put on an apron and started working.

The importance of New Year’s Eve dinner is self-evident.

The family had already planned the menu, so there was no panic.

Peanuts with celery and some sesame oil make a great dish to go with wine.

Blanched spinach and served with pork liver.Spinach mixed with pork liver, which was very popular in later generations, was served.

Wang cut the cooked meat into thin slices, served it with shredded green onions, and added some vinegar to create another sour and appetizing dish.

The whole old hen has been stewed for a whole hour, and mushrooms and red dates are placed in it. This is a nourishing old hen soup.

Add a dish of braised pork and stir-fried bacon with radish.The Cui family's return gift also included a pair of elbows. Li Xiangnan cleaned them up and Li Qiuyan also stewed them.

The last highlight is the whole fish. Li Qiuyan boils the sweet and sour sauce and hangs it on the fried fish.

Eight dishes were completed.

Five people, eight courses.

If you have more than enough every year, you have to have more.

It's getting late, ready for dinner.

Wang and Li Qiuyan took plates and filled them with melon seeds and peanut candies.

Li Xiangnan took out a jar of good wine and clinked the bowls with Jiang Zhe.

"Zhezi, my uncle won't say those polite words, so you can do whatever you want." Li Xiangnan said.

Jiang Zhe nodded. He felt strangely at home here and didn't feel out of place.

Maybe it's because I lived here for a winter before.

There was a table of good food, but no one was hungry yet. The family sat together, chatting and eating and drinking.

The sound of firecrackers continued outside, and the house was warm as spring.

After Li Xiangnan drank two bowls of wine, people from the village came to play with him.

They all grew up together. Li Xiangnan pushed them a few words and left together.

Awang also looked out frequently. Wang was so funny. Seeing that no one was in the mood to eat, he cleared away the dishes.

Wang boiled water, washed both Li Qiuyan's and Awang's hair, and was busy asking Jiang Zhe to wash their hair as well.I also took the opportunity to wash myself.

Li Qiuyan wiped his hair and baked on the kang.

Yingzi came wearing new clothes: "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Li Qiuyan pursed his lips and smiled. After all, he had put on new clothes.

After Wang washed her hair, she quickly took the clothes Li Qiuyan had changed to wash.

Li Qiuyan said coquettishly: "Mom, stop washing, you go and play too."

Wang's hands kept moving: "It's okay, I'll finish rubbing it right away. If you don't wash it now, you won't be able to wash it for a few days. You go and play, I'll go back after I wash it."

According to the tradition here, you cannot do laundry before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Qiuyan had no choice but to grab a handful of melon seeds and planned to go out for a walk with Yingzi.

Awang took Jiang Zhe and wanted to go.

Jiang Zhe asked Awang to go first, and he also wanted to wash out the clothes he had changed.

He was embarrassed to let Wang wash it.

Jiang Zhe also put on new clothes. He did not wear the ones Xie Ning brought him, but the blue cloth clothes that the Wang family made for him.

Not to mention, his eyes are pure and his facial features are regular.

He seems a little handsome.
