The Laba porridge was ready early the next morning. When Zhang Yu got up to wash up, he saw Zhang Guifang still making porridge and said, "Sister-in-law, you got up so early."
"Ah, it's Xiaoyu. The porridge is ready. Come and have a bowl quickly." Zhang Guifang was a little slow to react because she was sleepy. It took her a long time to react, but she didn't answer him directly.
Zhang Yu went back to the house to wash up. After washing, he looked at his sister-in-law again and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Sister-in-law, did you stay up all night without sleeping?"
"Isn't this how it tastes?" Zhang Guifang looked at Zhang Yu's disapproving eyes and felt a little unsure when speaking.
"You can't stay up all night. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You drank Laba porridge. Go to bed quickly." He washed the bowl, filled a bowl full of Laba porridge, and handed it to Zhang Guifang.
"You guys eat first. I have something else to do. I'll go eat after I'm done."
"What else can you do? If anything happens, you have to finish your meal and catch up on your sleep before doing it."
"No, I..." Before Zhang Guifang could say anything, Zhang Yu pressed her down on the stool and put the bowl in her hand.
"Eat quickly. If you need anything, we can talk about it after eating."
After Zhang Guifang finished eating, Zhang Yu pushed her into the room without listening to what she said, and emphasized again: "Go to sleep, you can survive it."
After seeing Zhang Guifang asleep, Zhang Yu took another bowl and filled it with Laba porridge.
As soon as he sat on the table, bursts of strong aroma from the bowl hit his nostrils. He couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, take a mouthful of porridge and put it into his mouth. It was sweet and glutinous, just like the taste in his memory.
With excitement and happiness, I drank two large bowls, patted my belly with satisfaction, and prepared to sign in.
He also discovered that the things he signed in were sometimes related to his emotions. Every time he felt particularly happy, he would have a greater chance of getting better items.
"The system starts signing in today."
"Ding, the sign-in is successful. Congratulations to the host for getting a New Year's set meal."
Seeing a large gift package in the system space, Zhang Yu clicked on it, and was instantly overwhelmed by things.
The door was not closed yet. Zhang Yu looked outside. Fortunately, no one passed by the door at this moment. He quickly put the things into the secret space to prevent anyone from seeing something they shouldn't.
When he returned to his room, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little careless, thinking that there wasn't much inside, so he opened it like that. Thinking about it now, he was still a little scared, what if a person passed by the door and suddenly saw
Many items fall from mid-air, and the consequences...
After calming down for a while, I had time to carefully check what was included in the New Year gift package.
Seeing this, he was so surprised that he let out an "ooh". There were so many things, whether they were food, food, clothing, fresh food, raw food, or cooked food, as long as they were needed during the Chinese New Year.
are all inside.
Meat and aquatic products, tea and drinks, snack boxes, preserved and dried fruits, and all kinds of fresh vegetables are all available.
I opened a box of preserved fruits, which contained preserved apricots, preserved pears, preserved peaches, preserved sand fruits, preserved fragrant fruits and preserved begonias.
There is no need to look at the others. This New Year's gift package is not enough for him and his sister-in-law's family, even if he and his sister-in-law's family are to use it, even if they add two or three families, even a big family like that can't use it all.
This usage has to be done in the same way as later generations. If we are as frugal as this era, ordinary families can use it for several years.
Having this New Year's gift package solves a lot of things for him. At least he doesn't have to worry about what he needs to buy for the New Year.
You only need to find an excuse to take out some selective items while shopping, and it will be enough for the whole family to celebrate the New Year.
After sorting things into categories, I walked out of the room and saw some garlic that my sister-in-law put at the door.
Presumably, it was used to prepare the Laba garlic. The garlic had not yet been peeled. It happened that he had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply took a bench and sat at the door and peeled the garlic.
He only knew that to make Laba garlic, you need to peel the garlic cloves first, but the subsequent steps were not clear.
So I first washed the peeled garlic with clean water, then took it out, put it in a dustpan, put it in the kitchen to drain, and prepared to soak it after my sister-in-law woke up.
Zhang Guifang was probably really tired. She originally just wanted to sleep for a while and then get up, but she didn't expect that it was already night when she woke up again.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, Zhang Guifang patted her head and asked, "Why did you sleep for so long? Didn't this delay things?"
Then he changed his clothes and went out, and said to Zhao Wenzhuo at the door: "Why didn't you call me? I have something else to do this afternoon, and I've been delayed all of a sudden."
Zhao Wenzhuo said nonchalantly: "I'm just seeing you tired and want you to sleep a little longer."
"I slept really long this time. I was thinking about soaking Laba garlic, but now I don't know if I can finish it." Zhang Guifang also knew that it was not her husband's fault, she just thought that there was still something to do.
After that, my temper suddenly got worse.
Zhang Guifang said, then turned around and did not see the garlic placed at the door, "Have you put the garlic away?"
"Sister-in-law, I've peeled and washed the garlic and put it in the kitchen." Zhang Yu passed by the door softly and pointed carefully in the direction of the kitchen. My sister-in-law was getting angry. He didn't want to hit the muzzle of the gun, so he ignored it.
He looked at his uncle and asked for help.
"You've finished cooking." Seeing the garlic in the kitchen, Zhang Guifang praised: "I'm just saying, our Xiaoyu has eyes and a job in his eyes. Let's look at you one by one, just waiting for ready-made food.
He didn’t even offer any help.”
After listening to his sister-in-law's words, Zhang Yu turned around and looked at his brother, sister, and uncle with an apologetic look. He didn't mean to trick them, and he was accidentally injured.
The other people were okay, but Zhao Xiaoping scratched her neck with her hand and said silently: "Just wait for me."
After it was over, Zhang Yu's face turned a little pale. If he had known that he would not take this credit, it would be easy to offend others. He might forget about it tomorrow and escape, but it would be miserable if he offended the female devil.
When he was young, both adults in the family had to go to work, and his cousins were boys, so he couldn't keep up when they were running.
So Zhao Xiaoping was responsible for taking care of him most of the time. Over time, people who don't have a sister don't know the kind of oppression that a sister exerts on her younger brother.
Zhang Guifang pretended not to notice the little private moves of the two siblings. Anyway, nothing big would happen. Xiaoping and Xiaoyu both had a sense of proportion.
He took out a clean jar and put things in it while saying: "To soak the Laba garlic, you need to soak it in old vinegar. After soaking for more than ten days, the garlic will turn green, and the vinegar will turn green."
It has the spiciness of garlic. During the Chinese New Year, you can eat dumplings with Laba garlic and vinegar and mix it with cold dishes. It tastes very good."
