Chapter 136 Cooking New Year's Eve Dinner

The beef is best cut when it is not thawed.

Ma Siqing remembered that she had hot pot in the south in her previous life and enjoyed it very much.

Therefore, for today's New Year's Eve dinner, she planned to make a beef hot pot.

It's time to show her real skills.

Tong Shiyu and Cheng Sihua both felt Ma Siqing's joy.

Especially Tong Shiyu.

It seemed that after the exercise, the joy in Ma Siqing's heart seemed to grow wings and

fly out. Tong Shiyu felt that the end or not of the exercise did not seem to have much impact on him, so although he was happy, he was not as happy as Ma Siqing who hummed songs every day.

Ma Siqing was seen waving the sharp knife and cutting the beef quickly, which made Tong Shiyu worried for a while.

I was worried that Ma Siqing had cut her finger because she moved too fast.

And the knife was very sharp.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Siqing cut the beef and put it on a plate.

The plate was also newly bought.

A few years ago, Ma Siqing asked Tong Shiyu to take care of the children for several days, and she went to Fuyuan Town alone to do some shopping.

She also didn't let Tong Shiyu pick her up. When the weather was fine, she would ride her bicycle to buy things by herself, and when she came back, she really had a lot of bags, and Tong Shiyu helped her carry them into the house.

If the weather was bad, Ma Siqing would take the forest train to the town, and she would come back with fewer things, but Ma Siqing would still drag them back.

In just one month, there were a lot more things in the house.

A radio, Ma Siqing said it was to understand the outside world.

A bicycle for going to Fuyuan Town.

Two kettles, a lot of cloth, cotton and wool.

Ma Siqing even bought new bowls.

She felt that life should be more comfortable.

But only Tong Shiyu knew about buying these things.

During the Chinese New Year, Ma Siqing took out a portrait of a great man from the space and pasted it at home, including one of the ten marshals.

Red paper, cut window flowers, and write the word "Fu".

There are also various things that are used in daily life.

Ma Siqing also bought two new quilts. She

bought a new set of clothes and shoes for each of the five people in the family, all new from head to toe.

Of course, it was only a nominal purchase, and in fact, everything was taken out of the space supermarket.

Although she went to Fuyuan Town several times, she didn't really spend much money.

Every time, she packed the things in a place where no one was around and came back.

In the morning, she took out a lot of meat temporarily.

She likes to eat beef.

Cheng Sihua saw that Ma Siqing had cut the beef without any accidents, and exclaimed: "Sister, your knife skills are almost as good as those of a chef."

Cheng Sihua picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks.

"Sister, this piece of beef is as thin as a cicada wing. How did you do it?"

Ma Siqing: "The slices can be cut so thin after the meat is frozen. If you don't believe me, try it!"

"If you ask me to cut a slice in one minute, I might be able to cut it, but with your speed, I still can't cut it even if I have a hundred fingers."

Ma Siqing: "How can it be so exaggerated? Practice makes perfect. You just don't do it enough. Practice more often in the future."

"Dad is the one who cooks at home. But he's not as good as you."

Cheng Yuqing happened to enter the kitchen and heard the siblings talking about him.

He gave Cheng Sihua a slap in the face: "My cooking is terrible, but I'm the one who eats the most every time." Cheng Sihua said unhappily: "I'm hungry, so I gave you face to finish the meal. Don't get the illusion that you're such a great cook!"

Ma Siqing found it very novel to hear Cheng Sihua say this about Cheng Yuqing.

She had never complained to Zhang Xiaoe before. Whenever she didn't cook well, Zhang Xiaoe would either scold her or beat her.

Bah, bah, bah, it's all in the past. Why are you still thinking about it?

Ma Siqing pinched her thigh.

Cheng Yuqing couldn't help but admire Ma Siqing's knife skills.

"Siqing, your knife skills are pretty good. Dad really needs to learn from you in this regard."

"Dad, don't tease me. I'm just more nimble, not as good as you."

"Don't be modest. You're really great. And you cook delicious dishes. Dad is in Beijing and often comes back to eat your dishes." Cheng Yuqing was also generous in praising Ma Siqing.

Tong Shiyu looked at their family of three and was happy for Ma Siqing.

After the exercise, Ma Siqing should be able to completely accept Ma Shuhua, right?

Cheng Yuqing took a walk and went to the main house to play with the triplets.

His relationship with Ma Shuhua has eased a lot. They

met every now and then in Beijing.

After the exercise, Ma Zizhong asked them to live together, but they were hesitant and dragged their feet.

Maybe they will live together after Cheng Sihua gets married!

Ma Siqing sliced ​​the beef, diced the pork, cut the fish into pieces, and prepared the green onions, ginger, and garlic.

She asked Tong Shiyu to wash the vegetables for the hot pot.

She also took out the spicy cabbage and sauerkraut that she had pickled.

The dumplings were made with sauerkraut filling, but Ma Siqing added some pork belly, which was chopped finely.

Tong Shiyu kneaded the dough and was ready to make dumplings.

Ma Siqing also made dumplings with leek and egg filling.

She bought the leeks from Aunt Feng last night, as she didn't grow them herself.

Ma Siqing fried the eggs and mixed them with the leeks, and the leek filling was ready.

Tong Shiyu moved the dough and stuffing to the main room. Cheng Yuqing, the three children and Ma Shuhua helped to make dumplings while Tong Shiyu rolled out the dough.

Ma Siqing prepared stewed meat in the kitchen.

She gave up the traditional Northeastern method of stewing meat and made Beijing-style braised pork instead.

Cheng Sihua: "Sister, you can also do this? I thought you guys just stewed a big pot of random things!"

Ma Siqing: "I know a lot! I learned all from books."

Cheng Sihua: "Sister, if you were allowed to study, I think you would definitely become a scientist."

Ma Siqing: "Don't tease me, I don't have that ability."

Ma Siqing hasn't decided what kind of university she will go to in the future, or whether she will continue in the industry of her previous life. She

will have to think about this matter carefully after the Chinese New Year.

After the braised pork was ready, Ma Siqing stewed beef soup, intending to use the beef soup as the soup base for hot pot.

The fish was still braised, as steaming seems to be unavailable in the Northeast.

Thinking of the hot pot pork that was popular all over the country in her previous life, Ma Siqing cut half a pound of pork belly.

Cheng Sihua was dazzled: "Sister, you, you, you really surprised me, I have never seen this dish before!"

Ma Siqing: "You have never seen a lot of things! I guarantee you will like this dish."

The pot-stuffed meat must be fried immediately to be delicious, so Ma Siqing marinated the meat for a while, mixed it with flour, and put it aside. After

counting the dishes, there was still a chicken soup missing.

On the 28th, Ma Siqing went to Fuyuan Town and came back, so she asked Tong Shiyu to kill a few chickens and put them in the refrigerator.

Ma Siqing chopped the chicken into pieces and boiled the soup.

After it was flavorful, she put some mushrooms in it.

The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready, the beef soup was ready, the braised pork was ready, and the fish was stewed.

The steamed buns and steamed bread were frozen on the 28th, and they could be eaten after being steamed.

However, Ma Siqing had to eat rice on the New Year's Eve dinner.

She steamed a few steamed buns and steamed bread, as Tong Shiyu liked to eat pasta.

After everything was ready, Ma Siqing lit the oil pan and made the pot-stuffed meat.

After the pot-stuffed meat was ready, the dumplings were also wrapped.

Tong Shiyu took the dumplings into the kitchen and put them in the pan to cook, and the New Year's Eve dinner was ready.

Waiting for the delicious New Year's Eve dinner!
