Chapter 376 New Year's Eve

Hearing this, Ning Qingyuan put down the spatula and said, "Okay, I'll go get some."

He satisfied all of his sister's wishes, turned around, grabbed a handful of small shrimps, took a piece of seaweed, washed them, chopped them up and put them in the pot to cook.

Ning Qingyuan also pried a piece of lard into the pot. Once the lard melted, he stirred it in the pot with a spatula, and the aroma wafted out of the pot.

Ning Xiyue seemed to smell the aroma from the seafood wonton restaurant and suddenly felt craving for seafood wontons.

"Brother, let's make some wontons and dumplings tomorrow morning. How about chopping some prawns into minced meat and making some seafood?"

Of course, good brother Ning Qingyuan would not refuse. He agreed to whatever his sister wanted to do, and answered Ning Xiyue's words while sprinkling salt on her face and smiling.

"Sure, make more dumplings tomorrow morning. We have plenty of meat, so we can make some of each filling. It's Chinese New Year and we need to eat more."

Ning Qingyuan tasted the saltiness of the soup, ate a piece of sliced ​​noodles, put down the small bowl in his hand, turned around and took out two large hot bowls:

"The noodles are ready, sister, you don't need to light the fire anymore, wash your hands and eat."

"Okay, I'm starving."

Ning Xiyue put the open fire under the pot into the stove hole next to it, where the antimony pot inside was burning hot water.

After washing her hands, Ning Xiyue took out a jar of meat sauce and sat at the table.

The two siblings ate this late dinner with great heat.

Ning Xiyue liked the soup as soon as she tasted it. "This soup is so delicious. I have to take a small bowl to drink the soup. It's so delicious."

Ning Qingyuan was amazed by the seafood he ate for the first time: "It's really fresh, the dried shrimps are quite fragrant, and the seaweed tastes pretty good too. I guess I need to chop more for making dumplings and wontons tomorrow."

After expressing their emotions, the two siblings stopped talking and just focused on eating. They ate the knife-cut noodles and drank the delicious soup, and their whole bodies felt warm.

He ate up all the noodles in the big pot, not even a drop of soup was left.

Ning Xiyue was full and rested at the table with her round belly.

She didn't expect that the soup made from shrimp and seaweed today is much more delicious than that in later generations, and the flavor is stronger. The sea today is not polluted like that in later generations, and the pure natural and pollution-free seafood is so delicious that she ate too much in an instant.

Now this round belly is filled with half noodles and half soup.

Ning Xiyue bit on some hawthorn slices that promoted digestion, and decided that she would store more in her system backpack when she had the chance to go to the beach in the future.

The next day was New Year’s Eve.

At around six o'clock in the morning, almost all the students in the Youth League Institute were up and busy.

This year, all the educated youth in the Youth Institute did not go home, but stayed in the institute to celebrate the New Year together.

Shoveling snow in the yard, cleaning the house, hanging lanterns, making dumplings and glutinous rice balls, etc., it was a lively occasion.

Liu Yao also built two big snowmen standing by the side of the yard. On their heads, the snowmen wore small hats made of two pieces of rags with big red peonies in them that she found from somewhere.

Everyone is busy preparing for the New Year.

Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan were busy making dumplings and wontons in the back.

As usual, Ning Qingyuan was responsible for the physical work such as rolling the dough, while Ning Xiyue was cutting the meat and preparing the stuffing.

"Brother, let's roll out some more dough today and save it for the first day of the new year."

In this weather, the indoor temperature is frighteningly low. It is like a natural refrigerator. No matter how many dumplings you make, there is no need to worry about them going bad. It is just like a freezer.

In order to avoid being too busy later, pack more at one time and store them.

Ning Xiyue went outside and fetched a large round dustpan with a diameter of 1.5 meters from the wall. She carried it to her second brother, patted its round bottom and announced:

"Brother, did you see this? We are going to fill this dustpan today."

Ning Qingyuan paused while rolling out the dumpling wrappers. Looking at the winnowing basket in front of him, his pupils couldn't help but dilate. "Uh, little sister, this winnowing basket is a bit too big. How many dumpling wrappers do we need to roll, how much stuffing do we need to mix, and how much stuffing do we need to pack to fill it up? Also, put the winnowing basket down first. I can only see your calves."

Ning Qingyuan helped move a few benches together and helped his sister put the dustpan on them, only then did he feel relieved.

Ning Xiyue pointed at the winnowing basket and divided it into sections, planning clearly which section was for wontons, which section was for dumplings, and which section was for wontons.

I said to Ning Qingyuan earnestly:

"Don't worry, we'll make them bigger so they take up more space. It's okay if we don't fill the pan. We'll leave more space between the dumplings, wontons and wontons so they don't get squeezed together. A larger dustpan will make it easier to store them. Once these wrapped items are frozen individually, you can put them all in a bag and put them on the frozen ice to keep them fresh."

"Okay, let's do it."

Ning Qingyuan was completely convinced by Ning Xiyue's words, and he started rolling out the dough without stopping, mentally calculating how much more dough he would need.

Ning Xiyue chuckled and began to prepare the chopping for the filling.

She is a professional at preparing stuffing, has killed several pigs, and is even more professional with a knife.

The kitchen knife is very useful for chopping meat and cutting vegetables.

In the end, Ning Xiyue prepared a bowl of beef filling, a bowl of shrimp filling, a large bowl of pork and cabbage filling, and a small bowl of dried mushroom and pork filling, four kinds of meat fillings in total.

It’s Chinese New Year and there’s no shortage of meat, so Ning Xiyue never thought of ordering vegetarian food.

This year might be the last year that Ning Xiyue would spend in the Daliu team. She decided to live it well and not be too shabby. She must leave good memories and greet the arrival of 1977 in the best condition.

In 1977, a landmark moment is about to arrive.
