Jiang Si, with the mentality of "if you can't beat them, just join them", immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and make a few more dishes."
During the Chinese New Year, the purpose is to be happy.
So last night, Uncle San and Uncle Zhong decided on the dishes!
There are goose stewed in an iron pot, white chicken, crab with scallion and ginger, braised lamb, spicy and sour shrimp with lemon, pig trotter soup with kidney bean, and pork ribs fried with rice cake.
Southerners cannot do without fish on the New Year’s table, so steamed fish is definitely a must.
Just add a few vegetarian dishes and it’ll be almost done.
Uncle Zhong was in charge of cooking the New Year’s Eve dinner, while Uncle San was in charge of washing and selecting vegetables and helping out.
Although Jiang Si's cooking skills are not very good, her cooking skills are pretty good.
The meat and vegetables are cooked quickly and evenly.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and got busy quickly.
At about half past five, Uncle Zhong started cooking on time.
Soon the table was filled with delicious dishes.
A little later, Xu Mingjuan brought over a bowl of greasy spicy chicken.
Jiang Si didn't bother to be polite with her. She just loved eating this kind of spicy and sour food.
After accepting the gifts, he gave her a bowl of pig's trotters in return and also packed some homemade durian for her.
It is said to be baked, but in fact it is just placed in an iron basin and then placed on the stove to heat for a while.
The heated durian has a less pungent taste and most people can accept it.
After Xu Mingjuan took a bite, her eyes brightened.
Not long after Xu Mingjuan left, brothers Weidong and Weimin also came over.
"Aunt, this is the deep-fried pork my mother made. I'll give you another dish."
Jiang Si took it with a smile and asked the two brothers for their opinions.
Finally, I gave them a bowl of pork ribs and rice cake, plus a portion of roasted durian.
As soon as they saw the durian, the brothers' expressions became particularly melancholy.
However, after being "punished" that day, the two no longer dare to speak without restraint!
After all, the word "durian" is too difficult to write.
You have to write it 1000 times.
It’s so terrifying just thinking about it.
"Thank you, auntie~~" the two brothers thanked in unison.
Just when the two were about to go home, Jiang Si stopped them.
They each stuffed a red envelope, and initially the two didn't want to accept it.
Until Jiang Si said, if you don’t want it, I will buy you some exercise books and send them to you tomorrow…
Upon hearing this, the two brothers took the red envelope without saying a word.
Huo Tingzhou came back at this time and saw that the two brothers ran faster than rabbits.
Surprised: "What happened to them?"
Jiang Si pursed her lips and smiled slyly, "Maybe I'm too happy about the New Year."
After that, she took his arm and said, "The food is ready. We're just waiting for you to come back and light the fireworks."
As if to fit the occasion, she had just finished speaking.
There was another burst of crackling firecrackers in the family compound.
Jiang Si subconsciously covered her ears, "It's still more lively here during the New Year."
"Why do you say that?" Huo Tingzhou said as he took the person in his arms and walked into the yard.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I heard from my grandparents that they didn't put up Spring Festival couplets last year, and they didn't buy fireworks or firecrackers."
Huo Tingzhou looked puzzled, "Did you call your grandparents?"
"Well, I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I stopped by the communications company to make a phone call and wish my grandparents a happy new year."
"Hasn't he already prayed that day?"
"That day is that day, and tomorrow is different,"
Jiang Si stuffed the matchbox into his palm, "Today is New Year's Eve, call them back, they will be happier."
This is true. Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo had just received a call from their old family in Xinjiang Province.
The old couple were sitting in the living room sighing, "I don't know how the third brother and the others are doing."
The next second, the phone in the living room rang.
Although the whole family was unable to spend the New Year together, when Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo received a call from the Huo family's eldest brother and Jiang Si.
The old couple were so happy.
"By the way, my eldest brother said that they will return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year at the end of next year. Let's go back and celebrate the New Year together then."
Jiang Si smiled after saying this, "It's more lively when there are more people."
Her due date is October 9th, and if she is pregnant with twins, theoretically the pregnancy will start earlier.
So there is a high probability that it will be released in mid to late September.
