Xu Shixian and others don't care much about power stations and the like.
Besides, it was rare for Han Liwei to come back, so he would definitely chat with his brother-in-law.
So the brothers gathered around Han Liwei and chatted in random ways.
The people in the back room chatted lively, and in the kitchen outside, Xue Xiulin's sisters-in-law and Su Anying also chatted pretty well.
Those three companies have all suffered a bit in the past two years. Under the current situation, I don’t know what the market will be like when they get beaten up.
If the market goes bad, you will have to ask Su Anying to help sell it.
Can you guys please talk to Su Anying properly?
The kitchen was very busy, with meat in the pot and various kinds of goods being prepared.
In another pot, pickled cabbage with large bones is stewed, and in the stew pot on the stove is jelly. When the jelly is cooked, pour it into a basin and put it outside to cool.
On this cold day, the temperature in the shed outside was just right, so I left it outside for two hours and it basically took shape.
A few old ladies in the house also started making dumplings. When the meat in the pot was cooked and put away, the dumplings in the house were also finished.
Make an empty pot, clean it, boil water and cook the dumplings.
It doesn’t matter how exquisite the butchered pork dish is, what’s important is that it’s affordable, large in quantity, and delicious.
Cooked pork belly, pork head, liver, heart, tongue, skin jelly, etc. are all sliced and plated.
The pork belly was cut very thin, and it trembled when I picked it up.
Dip it in some garlic sauce and put it directly into your mouth. The meat is crispy, soft and glutinous, not greasy at all, and it tastes really delicious.
Big-bone sauerkraut blood sausage. The blood sausage is filled with diced meat, old soup, and seasonings. It is cooked at just the right temperature. It is fragrant and tender, and is smooth and delicious in the mouth.
The greenhouse at the other end of the breeding farm has never been evacuated. Xu Shian starts planting various vegetables every winter. This year, not only did he plant green vegetables, but he also planted some cucumbers, tomatoes and so on.
In order to pollinate flowering vegetables, Xu Shi'an specially bought several boxes of bees and placed them in the greenhouse.
Not to mention, it’s really useful. The cucumbers are doing really well this year.
Xu Shi'an specially picked a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes for everyone to try.
Cut the pig ears into strips and mix them with cucumber strips, chopped coriander and minced garlic. It is definitely the best side dish to go with wine.
Another dish of tomatoes mixed with sugar, sitting on the hot bed in the winter, eating the sour and sweet cold dishes, it feels very good.
"Second brother, okay, you are getting better and better.
Most of the vegetables grown in greenhouses in Xinglong Township are green leafy vegetables, but there are really no cucumbers or persimmons.”
Xu Shixiang came from Xinglong Township, where he grew vegetables in greenhouses, and he brought with him the skills he learned.
Although he has gone to work in the county, he has always been in contact with Xinglong Township.
In winter, greenhouse growers would also send some vegetables to Xu Shixiang's house. Anyway, he had never seen cucumbers or persimmons before.
"Ahem, I'm just kidding. That greenhouse cost a lot of money to build, so it would be a pity to demolish it.
Anyway, the third child is not short of that little money, so why not grow some vegetables for home use, so that during the Chinese New Year, everything will be available, so you can have fresh food."
Xu Shian laughed when he heard this. This thing doesn't have much technical content. As long as you are willing, you can grow anything.
While we were chatting and laughing, the dumplings were cooked and served. The table was full of vegetables and dumplings, which was very rich.
Over there, Xu Shiyan brought out a few bottles of good wine and poured them for Han Liwei and his brothers. Huang Shengli and others poured them.
As for Xu Chenghou, Chu Xuanhuai, Zhao Dahai, Su Weizhong and other old men, each of them poured some ice wine.
"Dad, Master, this is the new product of Quanyang Factory. It used to be ice grape juice, but this time it's made into ice wine.
Give it a try, it tastes pretty good, the alcohol is not high, it won’t be a big problem if you just drink a few drinks.”
The Quanyang factory produces various wild fruit juices, and iced grape juice is also produced there.
In autumn, Xu Shiyan casually mentioned that it would be better to try ice wine.
Anyway, the factory is so big and the production lines are all ready. Give it a try. If it goes well, there will be a new product next year.
Ice grape juice is basically frozen mountain grape juice that has been squeezed and processed to adjust the taste and then be filled.
Ice wine needs to go through a series of brewing processes.
A batch just came out a few days ago, and Guo Fenghua sent several boxes to Xu Shiyan to give them to everyone to taste and see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted.
"Mom, mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you all should taste a little and give us your opinion.
If you all think it’s good, the factory will brew more next year.”
Xu Shiyan took a few bottles and sent them to the West House so that the women could also try them.
"Kids, don't be greedy. There is wine there after all. You'd better drink juice."
When he turned around, he saw the children looking at him eagerly.
Xu Shiyan smiled and mercilessly shattered the fantasies of these naughty children. It would be nice if they could just drink some juice, so what are they thinking about?
"Oh, I got it." The boys responded with a little regret.
Boys are inexplicably curious about wine.
Especially Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao, who are both sixteen or seventeen years old, usually smoke and drink secretly with their classmates.
I was originally thinking about trying the wine, but now it seems that there is no chance.
Forget it, there are still juices and various carbonated drinks anyway. They can drink whatever they like. As long as they don't drink, no one will care.
Xu Shiyan returned to the east room, and everyone asked him to sit down. They all raised glasses and drank together, which was considered as a welcome to Han Liwei and his wife.
"Come here, let's all eat. There are no outsiders here today, no one is welcome.
Today we can eat as much as we want and drink as much as we want, so we can eat and drink as much as we want."
Xu Shiyan invited everyone to eat and drink, and everyone was drinking and chatting, chatting and laughing in a very lively manner.
Everyone ate and drank here until evening, when Huang Shengli, Zhao Jianshe and others left.
Xu Shiqin has not returned to her parents' home, so she must stay at her parents' home for one night.
Han Liwei has always done whatever his wife says, so he can just live there.
So, the couple took their two children and stayed with Xu Chenghou.
Needless to say, Xu Shian's home is local and he can come back anytime he wants.
So the family of four chatted with the brothers for a while after dinner, and then drove home.
As for the brothers, they have agreed this time to stay in Donggang for the New Year.
It’s already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. I definitely can’t go back today. I’ll go home tomorrow, celebrate the New Year the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll have to come back on the second day of the lunar month.
It would be better to just celebrate the New Year here and wait until after the second day of the Lunar New Year before they can go home separately, which will save them the hassle of going back and forth.
Xu Chenghou and his wife were so happy about their sons' decision that they didn't know why.
The older people get, the more they like to be lively. Since moving to Donggang, it has been rare for a large family to celebrate the New Year together.
How lively would it be for this big family of 20 or 30 people to celebrate the New Year together happily?
Thanks to the large number of houses in my family, there are more than ten rooms, so I can arrange them in any place.
Everyone has been busy all day long, and both adults and children are very tired.
In the evening, after everyone washed up, they got into bed and fell asleep without even talking a few words.
