Ao Gua looked at the table full of food, took a breath, and sighed: "My family can't eat such good food during Chinese New Year."
? During the Chinese New Year, their family kills a rooster or an old hen that does not lay eggs, and cooks it with chicken soup on the side stove. The meat dish is usually the chicken. If there are many people in the family, each person can share a small piece.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone can get a red-dyed egg, which is regarded as the Chinese New Year.
There will be almost no more. It has been a long time since they saw new clothes at home, and they just continue to wear them after changing them.
Such a large table of meat dishes can only be seen in dreams in their house.
Pickled fish, braised pork trotters, braised pork with taro, pork ribs and radish soup, white-cut chicken, fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, and steamed sausages. Every dish is meat, and they are all large pieces of meat, and the amount is particularly sufficient. Although they have a lot of people today, they have a lot of food. Everyone can eat their mouths full of fat, and the smell of meat will not go away for several days.
Even if it is not Cai Xiaoman's craftsmanship, people with similar cooking skills will make mouth water, let alone Cai Xiaoman's hands. And this time, her cooking method was borrowed from the Cao family's. She didn't pay attention to fineness, and her eyes were full of large pieces of meat.
Cai Xiaoman thinks that this type of food is more attractive in common people's homes. If it is too delicate, people can't let go of their hands and feet when eating, and they are forced to chew slowly, so that they can't taste the taste.
Just like the full moon wine at the Cao family that day, the food on the table is definitely not bad in taste. It is definitely delicious in the world when you savor it carefully, but it just lacks some atmosphere. These ordinary people, whose spiritual realm is still not enough to worry about food and clothing, are so rich that they are getting more and more refined, exploring a more refined and delicious realm.
"Then eat more. Look at all of you, you are the thinnest and the smallest." Gao directly picked up a big chicken leg for him.
It's not the first time for Ai Gua to come to Cai's house for dinner. He knows how enthusiastic Gao is, but he is still very shy: "Thank you, auntie."
He was very grateful from the bottom of his heart. Their friends knew that his family was not good, so they always brought him delicious food.
"Mom, I want it too!" Cai Xiaohu was also too greedy.
Gao Shi glared at him angrily: "Don't make noise, the other chicken leg is for your third sister."
When Cai Xiaohu heard this, he immediately stopped talking. He didn't dare to say that if he didn't give it to the third sister, he would have nothing to eat in the future.
"Xiaohu, let me give you this." Ao Gua wanted to share the big chicken drumsticks in his bowl with Cai Xiaohu, but Gao stopped him before Cai Xiaohu could respond.
"You don't care what he does, you can take it when my aunt gives it to you. There is so much meat here, how can there be no shortage of him."
"I don't want yours, I eat buckwheat!" Although Cai Xiaohu was greedy, he was not stingy. He picked up a piece of fat but not greasy pork, took a big bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with oil.
After chewing a few mouthfuls, he did not forget to give Cai Xiaoman a thumbs up: "It's delicious!"
Taro braised meat is made of large taro and pork belly, and the meat and taro are cut into palm-sized and little finger-wide shapes. First put the meat into the stewed meat soup with cinnamon, star anise, soy sauce, etc., first boil on high heat and then simmer on low heat for two quarters of an hour. In the end, like taro, use a hot oil fryer, and finally put the two in a bowl piece by piece. Finally, pour the prepared soup on top and cook for half an hour.
The biggest feature of this dish is that the meat is large and fragrant. One bite is full of oil, and the taro is also stained with meaty fragrance and has a soft taste. Cai Xiaoman used to only like to eat the taro in it, and he was hesitant to eat braised meat, but now he doesn't feel tired even after eating a few pieces.
"Everyone, take your seats quickly and eat quickly." Gao greeted everyone, "Now that the weather is cold, it's easy to let the stir-fry cool."
Everyone was not polite and took their seats one after another.
"Gu Xiucai, sit over there, there is a lot of smoke here." Cai Laogen pointed to the seat opposite him.
Originally, Gu Huaijin was a little cautious, but when he found a place to sit down, he was told like this, and immediately sat or stood.
He had never eaten by this kind of firepit before, and he was still sitting on a short grass pier. Others have been here several times, so they are no strangers, but he is very at a loss, but he doesn't show it on his face.
"Come on, come and sit here." Seeing his serious face, Cai Xiaoman understood what was going on, and led him over. "There is too much smoke over there, and it will smoke you when you eat later."
The firepit is not good at this point. There is always a strong smell of smoke on one side because of the wind. Smokeless charcoal is too expensive, so only firewood can be used. The kitchen is ventilated everywhere, especially at the door, and one side suffers a lot.
Cai Laogen and Gao sat in this position, saying that they were used to it, and they were older, so they couldn't stand it like young people.Yan Man didn't think much about it at first, but Qin Shi's behavior, it didn't take long for her family to look like she couldn't afford food, which made her a little worried.
"Are you so good at housekeeping as a mother? Do you think your father is so incapable of planning, so you can change careers if you say so?" Gao smiled. I still have to save up my dowry, and you spent more than half of it on your illness before. Although my mother can't completely equalize a bowl of water, it won't be too much."
"Mom, since you've settled everything, why don't you tell my sister-in-law the truth, so that she won't have to worry about it all this time."
"Take it as if I didn't say it, but she has to believe it!" Mrs. Gao was a little angry when she mentioned this. Everyone in their family said nothing, but this daughter-in-law, she kept it hidden and felt that others were too. .
Cai Xiaoman remained silent. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been delicate since ancient times.
Even if Mrs. Gao laid out all her belongings and listed all kinds of expenses one by one, Mrs. Qin might think that she hid some of it and made false accounts, right?
"Mother, let's not talk about this." Cai Xiaoman changed the subject and said, "Would you like to be our honorary general manager?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
