On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, several families are still very busy.
Different from the busy days on August 28, their main job today is to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner and the dishes to be eaten during the New Year.
There is no shortage of meat at home. Grandma Su asked Su Laosan to buy more than 200 kilograms of pork a few days ago.
There was so much meat, part of it was cut into meat fillings to make dumplings on New Year’s Eve night.
The rest is to make various kinds of braised pork, fried crispy pork, fried meatballs, etc.
Anyway, how sumptuous is the New Year’s Eve dinner?
In addition to pork, there are also mutton, beef, and chicken that need to be processed in advance, so you don’t need help on New Year’s Eve.
Seeing the fight in the Su family, the three of them, Li Jianhong, were frightened.
During the New Year, the Su family had almost three hundred kilograms of meat alone.
Their family could not eat twenty kilograms of meat all year round.
As expected, the Su family's conditions are good enough to be willing to do so.
"Fry more meatballs and send them to the orphanage tomorrow. Children will definitely like eating meatballs." Grandma Su said to the three uncles and nephews of Mr. Su who were chopping meat.
"Mom, that's enough, don't worry." Su Laosan kept chopping meat in his hands as he answered his mother's words.
More than thirty kilograms of meat were chopped into fillings, ten kilograms were taken out to make dumplings, and twenty kilograms of croquettes were left, which was enough.
After all, there are other ingredients for croquettes, and more than twenty kilograms of meat can make a big pot of meatballs.
"We also need to send some fish and shrimp over there. I think the children will like the winter fruit pulp. The children can't eat the spicy meat, so there should be less..." Grandma Su was working and talking about what she planned to give to the orphanage.
Send it over.
Qi Xiaofang was speechless when she heard Grandma Su talking about sending so much meat to the orphanage.
The Su family is so willing to give up.
If it were her place, she would definitely not be willing to give away so much.
With more people comes greater strength, even if there is a lot of meat, you can still achieve quite a lot in one busy day.
All the meat that can be processed has been processed.
"When we were young, we used to make marinated vat meat. During the Chinese New Year, we would kill a pig and pickle the rest in a big vat. We could eat it until June or July of the following year." Grandma Su said with infinite nostalgia.
said.
"Mom, if you want this bite, let's buy some meat and marinate it all."
Su Laosan listened to his mother's nagging and couldn't help but suggest something.
These words earned Grandma Su a blank stare.
"It depends on whether you are stupid or not. At that time, there was no way to preserve it. Now if you want to eat fresh food, you can just buy fresh food. Worst of all, there is a refrigerator to store it, right?"
Cured meat is delicious, but it's not as good as fresh meat.
It can only be used for stir-frying, making dumplings, etc., but the taste is not as good as fresh ones.
Su Laosan touched his nose awkwardly and did not dare to speak again.
Anyway, he is used to it. Not only does his mother feel that he is not doing well, he is not like the other children in the family who always say that he is right no matter what he does.
Liang Xiu couldn't help but stare at her man and smile.
Why can't he imitate his daughter? See how well my daughter understands the old lady's character? Whatever she says is fine with her.
After finishing all this, it's time to prepare dinner.
Grandma Su said: "I remember that your parents took the train at night, and your aunt and others also seemed to take the train at night. I just don't know if they can make it in time for dinner."
"Grandma, let's get ready. We can't wait for people to come before cooking." Su Sangong suggested.
Grandma Su nodded: "What you're saying is, let's just eat rice in the evening and make more. If people arrive after midnight, just fry the rice."
"Grandma, I feel very tired and don't want to eat anymore."
Perhaps because of the smell of meat, Su Xiaotian didn't want to eat anymore.
Although the meat is good, it is not enough for a whole day.
"My dear, this is not possible. How about I make you two cold dishes to relieve your tiredness?" Grandma Su said hurriedly.
Su Xiaotian thought that Grandma Su had been busy for most of the day, and she couldn't let the old man continue to work hard because of herself.
"Milk, I'm fine, just eat whatever you want then."
"That's okay, no matter what time, eating is important." Grandma Su insisted on making some cold dishes for Su Xiaotian to relieve her tiredness.
Liang Xiu smiled and said: "Mom, no need, wait a moment, let her eat two fruits first, then she will have no problem eating."
This little girl was spoiled by her family and became more and more squeamish.
But Liang Xiu didn't dare to say this in front of Grandma Su, so she could only wink at Su Xiaotian quietly.
Su Xiaotian smiled and hugged Grandma Su's arm: "Grandma, my mother is right. I will find some fruits and go back to the room to eat with Xiaobei and the others."
Grandma Su naturally refused to agree, so she urged the girls to go back to their rooms and eat some fruit.
Qi Xiaofang and Qian Xiaobei were embarrassed and insisted on helping cook.
"There's nothing to cook, the meat is ready-made, you can go and enjoy it yourself."
Grandma Su feels sorry for her own granddaughter, and also feels sorry for other people's granddaughters.
Just as everyone was declining, Su Manxiu's family and Su Ciliang all came back.
Grandma Su also forgot to let the girls rest, so she called her daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and grandchildren to rest in the house while waiting for dinner.
"I didn't tell you the specific train number earlier, otherwise I could pick you up."
Su Manxiu put the big and small bags on the kang and said, "Mom, there are so many of us, and it's not like we can't find them, so why should we pick them up?"
Grandma Su ignored Su Manxiu, but hugged her grandson and kissed her several times.
The little guy has a tiger-like head and a big brain, he is very cute and very cute.
However, no matter how much everyone liked the little guy, he only stayed by Su Xiaotian's side.
Wherever Su Xiaotian goes, she follows her like a little tail.
When the daughter came, Grandma Su talked to her daughter, and Liang Xiu hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare meals.
Qi Xiaofang and the others looked on and were embarrassed to let Liang Xiu prepare dinner for so many people, so they took the initiative to help.
Seeing that there were several young girls at home, Su Manxiu thought that these were the future wives of her nephews.
Unexpectedly, after asking, I found out that he was Su Xiaotian's classmate.
"Mom, I think these girls are pretty good. It would be nice if they could have some contact with Ci Liang."
Su Manxiu had a good first impression of several girls, so she secretly said to Grandma Su.
The nephews in the family are quite old, especially San Gong and Ci Liang, who have graduated for more than a year and are about to get married.
Grandma Su said: "It's better not to worry about the affairs of our children and grandchildren. It's not like before now."
Su Manxiu smiled and said, "Mom, you still have good taste. Take a look at your three sisters-in-law."
After hearing what her daughter said, Grandma Su looked at her daughter.
She has a good opinion of her daughter-in-law, but her opinion of her son-in-law is really bad.
Fortunately, Manxiu has survived now.
It's a pity that Manxiang...
Grandma Su will not continue to think about these things that make her uncomfortable. Some things are in the past when they are over.
No matter how uncomfortable it was, Man Xiang could not survive.
