"How old is Yuanyuan? What does a nine-month-old child know?
It’s just a matter of keeping face together, let’s let him play with it.”
Xu Chenghou, who has been an old farmer all his life, doesn’t he understand that it is food?
Even now, I can at least have a full stomach. If a few years ago, I couldn't even eat, who would dare to try to harm a little food?
If Xu Shiyan and his brothers had dared to do this when they were young, Xu Chenghou would have slapped his son away, and even Zhou Guilan would have been scolded.
But when he arrived at his grandson's place, the old man's mind changed and all kinds of excuses came out.
"How can you argue with such a small child?" The old man hugged his grandson and gave his son a look.
This is the reason why we cannot live with the elderly. Kissing someone a generation apart would be too protective of the children.
Xu Shiyan took a deep breath, forget it, and didn't hesitate to argue with his father. Anyway, he would build a house in the spring after the new year, and at most his parents would move to a new house in the autumn.
Just be patient for a while, there will be plenty of opportunities to take care of your son in the future.
"Mom, go change clothes and look at the pot, and ask Yingzi to come in and help you pack it."
Xu Shiyan can also wrap a fire spoon, but he is a big man and has hot hands.
The sticky noodles become thin after being held in the hand for a few times, and the sticky fire spoon that comes out of the package is not in shape.
When he was in the big house, Xu Shiyan often used to fry pots and stick fire spoons on them. He knew how to do this job.
"Okay, then you go and see the pot. Yingzi will come back to pack it. We should hurry up.
Your father can't do anything to help him when he's looking at the child."
Zhou Guilan didn't have the nerve to complain that her husband didn't know anything. She could only say that Xu Chenghou was taking care of the children.
Xu Shiyan went to Xixiwu to take off his coat, then washed his hands and took the shovel from Su Anying's hand.
To use a fire spoon, you need to heat a dry pot and put a spatula in the pot.
When the griddle is hot, apply an oil bag on it, then place the wrapped sticky spoons on the griddle one by one, cover the pot and wait for a while.
When the bottom of the stick turns yellow and hardens, use a spatula to turn it over, and then sear this side to golden color.
The sticky fire spoon baked in this way can be cooled and frozen outside. When eating, just pick some and put them in the pot to steam them.
If you want to eat it with a hard surface just out of the pan, you must bake it for a while to avoid it being undercooked.
It's not difficult to look at the pot. You just need to turn the fire spoon in the pot frequently and be careful not to let the fire in the pot burn too high.
Xu Shiyan was very good at this, even faster than Su Anying.
It just so happened that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the house, and Xu Shiyan was looking at the pot outside, and they had just finished serving it.
I kept it until three o'clock in the afternoon, just when the bean filling and sticky noodles were gone.
Zhou Guilan and Su Anying tidied up the kang in the east room and put away basins, curtains and other things.
Then Su Anying carried Xu Haiyuan to the west room to breastfeed, while Zhou Guilan went to the ground, went to the pickle vat, fished out a few pickles, washed them and cut them into shreds, and fished out two mustard greens from the pickle vat and cut them into shreds.
Xu Shiyan shot several wild boars and black blind men in the mountains. The conditions in the mountains were poor and there was no way to refine oil.
Just now, Xu Shiyan took advantage of the opportunity while looking at the pot to take all the fat meat into the house and slow it down. At this time, most of the meat had softened and was half-frozen but not frozen.
Zhou Guilan cut the fat meat into regular-sized pieces, then added some water to the pot and started to oil it.
As the water evaporates, the oil gradually precipitates, and the kitchen is filled with the aroma of refining oil.
The fat in the pot is emitting small bubbles and making a sizzling sound. There is nothing more pleasant than this sound.
Zhou Guilan took a spoon and scooped out the oil bit by bit. At the end, she roasted the oil again and put it into a basin with a strainer.
Then take the oil refining pot, add the onions and garlic, stir-fry the shredded pickled cabbage, stir-fry until thoroughly stir-fried, add the soup and simmer.
In the other pot, all the sticks have been baked.
For the last ones that came out, Xu Shiyan specially cooked them at a higher heat so that they were browned on both sides.
"Mom, just eat sticky spoon and sauerkraut tonight, no need to worry about it anymore."
I'm quite tired after two days of busy work. As long as I have something to eat, there's no need to prepare many dishes.
"Well, I'll just fry some more pickles. Lao Wu said he wants to eat the shredded pickles at home.
You said this kid is really weird, he is greedy for this stuff."
Zhou Guilan didn't plan to prepare too many vegetables. If Xu Shixiang hadn't said he wanted to eat shredded pickles, he would have planned to stew sauerkraut.
There are two pots in the kitchen, one is used to stew sauerkraut, and the other is quickly cleaned and fried with mustard shreds in large oil.
In the evening, it's the newly cooked hotpot that's crispy on the outside, glutinous on the inside, sweet and delicious, served with sauerkraut and mustard shreds.
There is also a fragrant, crispy and oily texture, which satisfies everyone.
While eating, we listened to the news on the radio. After the meal, the three of us got together and chatted.
Xu Shiyan had to ask Lao Wu how it was to study in Tonghua, so Xu Shixiang picked up some interesting stories about what happened in the university.
Xu Chenghou listened with rapt attention and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Lao Wu was admitted to university. Otherwise, how would he have such an opportunity?
The three of them chatted until after eight o'clock, but Zhou Guilan urged everyone to go to bed quickly, and then they went to wash up and go back to the house to rest.
Xu Shixiang and Xu Shiqin lived in the east room with their parents, while Xu Shiyan and his wife lived in the west room with Xu Haiyuan.
Xu Haiyuan was tired from all kinds of mischief and mischief during the day, so he went to bed early after eating milk.
Xu Shiyan hugged his daughter-in-law, and the two of them chatted about the things on the mountain in bed.
This conversation lasted until midnight, and when I woke up the next morning, I was yawning profusely.
January 12th is the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, so it’s time to prepare New Year’s goods.
After breakfast, Xu Shiyan packed five or six kilograms of sticky fire spoons, a piece of venison, a fragrant deer leg, and a deer whip.
This is intended to be given to Guo Shouye, and they have helped me a lot. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it would be a nice thought to give me something.
When Guo Shouye met Xu Shiyan, he was still very enthusiastic. Seeing that Xu Shiyan had sent so many things, he had to be polite to express his gratitude.
"Huh? By the way, Brother Shiyan, do you want a newspaper?
I happen to have some newspapers here that I plan to dispose of. If you find them useful, take them."
Guo Shouye suddenly remembered something. He had accumulated a lot of newspapers in various offices.
After seeing this thing, it was useless and could only be sold as scrap paper, so I asked Xu Shiyan casually.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he became happy and said, "Yes, of course I want it. I'm planning to go to the store to buy paper to paste on the wall. It would be better to have newspapers."
These walls have been made of mud, and over time, clods of earth have fallen down.
So when the Chinese New Year is approaching, most people will paper their walls.
You can go to the store to buy white paper to paste the wall, but it is too expensive. If you catch the opportunity, it would be good to buy some newspapers to paste the wall with.
Newspaper is thicker than white paper and makes the wall stronger.
So when Guo Shouye said there was a newspaper, Xu Shiyan nodded immediately, why didn't he want it for free?
It's good to order some newspapers without losing the price, and save money on buying paper.
This was because Director Guo did not regard Xu Shiyan as an outsider, so he took the initiative to bring up the newspaper. If it had been someone else, he might not have given it to him.
Guo Shouye liked Xu Shiyan's down-to-earth attitude and immediately asked someone to lead Xu Shiyan to the warehouse.
I pulled two large bundles of newspapers, weighing more than ten kilograms, and gave them to Xu Shiyan.
