Chapter 63
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, every family grinds tofu.
From this day on, it officially enters the stage of preparing food for the New Year. No matter how poor the family is, they will try their best to prepare hearty food during this time. The best time to eat every year is during the Chinese New Year. Even the poorest families try their best to get some meat during the Chinese New Year, so that the whole family can taste some meat. There is a saying among the people that "adults look forward to farming, and children look forward to the New Year".
In Yangcheng, whether it is rich or poor, tofu, rice cakes, steamed buns, and rice dumplings are all must-haves.
Generally, tofu is made on the 25th day. Because the Cai family is in a better situation, they have a stone mill at home. Every year at this time, the Cai family is very lively. This thing is also one of the important assets of the family, it is not a cheap item, and it takes up space. Because not every family has a stone mill, people who have good friends with the Cai family will come to borrow stone mills.
Cai Xiaoman has already mechanized everything in his previous life, so he will not use such primitive things. When grinding tofu at home, try it yourself.
The soybeans for grinding tofu have been soaked one day in advance, put them into the small hole in the stone mill, and push and turn them by hand. Although this job is very simple, it is still very tiring after a long time. But for Cai Xiaoman now, it's not a problem at all, and he thinks it's quite interesting.
"What are you guys doing?"
Wang Xiuxiu and Aunt Cao also came that day, and even asked someone to bring half a pork, which shocked Gao.
"I'll just lend you a stone mill for a while, don't be so polite."
Aunt Cao rolled her eyes angrily: "Look at you, you are beautiful. If you borrow a stone mill, you can get such a good business. My family will also buy a stone mill immediately."
Aunt Cao and Mrs. Gao have always had a good relationship, and they speak quite casually.
"Then what are you doing? You can't bring it to my house to show off, right?" Gao joked, "I don't care, it belongs to my house when it enters the door of my house."
The Cai family buys a lot of pork at the end of each year, all from Aunt Cao's family. Pork at the end of the year is very expensive, but the Cao family always gives the normal price every time, and the pork is guaranteed to be good.
Mrs. Gao hasn't decided how much meat to buy this year, so she hasn't told Aunt Cao why it was delivered today.
"It's indeed your family's, but it's not for you, it's for Xiaoman." Aunt Cao said with a cheerful smile. This year, their Cao family has undergone major changes. Her own brother has become a serious and high-ranking official, and he is no longer the pig butcher that others ridiculed in the past.
The original line was also very smooth, and now the entire Cao family is no longer a wild way like before, and has officially moved towards Mingdao. I'm afraid that in the near future, her father will still be able to make an outsider!
Because they were happy, they didn't forget that Cai Xiaoman also worked hard. The crystal osmanthus cake she made was very popular with those nobles. Especially the wives of the lords like this kind of delicate thing the most. With this thing, when talking together, you can also know where to start.
Now the crystal osmanthus cake has become a famous name of the Cao family. When it comes to the Cao family, it is no longer the same as before, oh, it is that pig butcher, but it has become the one that makes crystal osmanthus cake very well. The style of the two titles is very different.
As an official for the third time, he knows how to dress and eat. Paying attention to eating is not something you can understand when you have money. Only after a few generations can you know the truth. The crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake is the best sign to change the Cao family, which means that they are not so vulgar, they are not only rich, but they also know how to live a tasteful life.
The Cao family has always been generous and grateful. At the end of the year, they generously sent half a pig.
If it is not afraid of being too eye-catching, a pig is also a gift. It's just that Cai's family usually has this amount, so it's just right.
Outsiders don't know the cooperative relationship between the two companies, so it's just right to be so unassuming.
"How can this be done? Usually, you have already given money, so how can you still ask for your things." Gao quickly declined. These half pigs are not cheap. This year's income is not as good as last year. She is still hesitating whether to buy as much as before, which is why she has not made a decision until now.
It's impossible not to have a heartbeat, but Gao knows what to accept and what not to accept, so he can't take advantage of everything.
"It's not that you don't know how our family does business. At the end of the year, we will give gifts to big buyers. Xiaoman has helped us a lot. If it wasn't for fear of causing trouble to you, I would be embarrassed to only give half of it."
Aunt Cao was still hesitant when she saw Mrs. Gao, so she pushed her straight away: "Don't talk to me here, you don't know what I look like in my natal family. We won't give away if there are too many, and we will bury ourselves if we don't have enough. ,I? She didn't give any face, so she could only talk with her lips pursed.
She shook her head: "No, nothing."
Gu Huaijin frowned slightly, and her tone was anxious: "What's the matter, is there anything you can't tell me?"
"Oh, it's just a tooth loss!" Cai Xiaoman showed him a self-defeating grin, laugh, she's used to it, isn't it just a tooth loss, who hasn't experienced it.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't it just a tooth loss? I thought something was wrong with you."
"It's too ugly." Cai Xiaoman pouted.
Gu Huaijin laughed: "I thought you didn't care about these things."
Why does this sound so awkward.
"Your family didn't prepare rice cakes or anything, did you? My family made delicious ones. During the New Year's Eve vigil, you roasted them over fire and ate them. It was very delicious. My mother packed a lot of them. After you put them away, you You can¡¯t finish it on New Year¡¯s Eve, so you can save it for supper later.¡±
Gu Huaijin is still just smiling, in fact, many people have already sent these, and the house is already full, and I was still worried about when it would be resolved. But seeing what Cai Xiaoman sent, I was still very happy from the bottom of my heart.
When Cai Xiaoman walked in, he realized that many people had already sent them over. Not only did she not feel anything, but she was happy for him. This shows that he has already taken root in Yangcheng, so there are so many people who care about him.
According to the customs of Yangcheng, it is usually done after the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the gifts sent before the year are all for the same purpose as their family.
"This bean curd ball is definitely not available in other people's houses. On the New Year's Eve, you must remember to eat it hot, which symbolizes reunion." Cai Xiaoman introduced very proudly.
She raised a big smile, with a hole in her mouth, but she was still dazzling, and her joy spread to those around her.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin smiled knowingly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
