What Xiaoguo didn't expect was that if one family released it, every family would release it.

Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang had a great time, and as soon as they entered the house, the fun started in other families.

And this noisy sound lasted all night.

By the next morning, there were still a few houses setting off fireworks.

After Xiaoguo made the bed, he went to the kitchen.

The first thing to do is turn on the stove and throw in some charcoal.

I prepare to cook only after finishing this task every day.

We got up early today and needed candlelight to brighten the night. Zhuangzhuang and Qin Anming were still asleep. Xiaoguo took the pork elbow and chicken from the basin, added a piece of meat, and put them in the pot to cook first.

After blanching the water, add various seasonings, then add the hot water with the meat, add firewood and start stewing, bring to a high heat and then turn to a low heat. The goal is to stew until noon.

After stewing, I started to make breakfast. I cooked a pot of corn porridge, fried the leftover wontons and eggs from last night, and had some pickled vegetables that Sister Yang gave me. That was breakfast.

But don’t worry, it’s still early, just cook the porridge and deal with the rest later.

Now she has to prepare the dishes, including the stewed meat and other side dishes.

Xiaoguo took out the menu from his body and pressed it on the wall with a nail, so that he could see it as soon as he looked up, which was convenient.

Clean the cutting table and clear out a large space. Then take out all the plates in the cabinet, scald them with hot water, wipe them clean, and place them neatly on the table to place the cut vegetables.

First, she processed the grouper. This kind of fish has a very strong fishy smell, so she had to apply a layer of salt on the surface to make it easy to clean the mucus on the surface. In addition, the scales of the grouper are very difficult to cut, so scraping the scales took her a lot of effort.

Xiaoguo threw away the dirty insides of the fish, rinsed the fish body with clean water, cut a few times on the fish body, laid the fish flat on a plate, evenly placed the shredded ginger on it, and steamed it in the pot for dinner.

Take out the ribs, chop them into even-sized pieces with a machete and place them on a plate. Sweet and sour spare ribs are easy to make and can be made in the afternoon.

Xiaoguo took out the dried preserved vegetables that Mrs. Yang had given him, washed them, drained the water and put them on a plate, and used them to make braised pork with preserved vegetables in the afternoon.

He turned around and took the squid back, carefully cut open its body with a knife, took out the ink sac inside, and placed it in a bowl. The ink could be used to make dumplings.

After cutting into flower-shaped pieces, cut into pieces of uniform size and place them on a plate. Also cut two large green onions to pair with them.

She took out a piece of tenderloin, which was just right for making Beijing-style shredded pork. Xiaoguo specially reserved a piece and cut the tenderloin into slightly thicker slices, and then changed it into shreds. A whole piece of tenderloin was cut into a full plate of shredded pork. Because she didn't buy bean curd, she prepared to use dough instead. When it was time to eat, she would cut some side dishes, such as shredded carrots and shredded green onions.

I had two bunches of celery at home, which I used up. I cut them into thin slices with a slanting knife and divided them into two portions, one for stir-fried nuts and the other for mixed vegetarian dishes. I also cut some carrot slices and added some black fungus and peanuts that I had soaked before going to bed last night to make a vegetarian dish.

I went back to the house halfway through and placed a bowl of nuts that I had peeled last night next to another portion of celery.

Xiao Guo stopped here because when he was picking up the nuts, he heard some noise coming from the inner room. So he guessed that they had woken up and the porridge was almost ready, so it was time to prepare the fried eggs and wontons.

First, remove the porridge from the heat, open the lid and let it cool, then take out a frying pan, which she specially customized for frying. After heating the frying pan, add pork fat, and when the oil melts, place the wontons neatly on it.

After putting the food on the table, she turned around and took a plate to serve pickled vegetables, radish strips and mustard greens, filling up the entire small plate. As soon as Xiaoguo started eating, she was sure that Sister Yang was not bragging. She said that she was the best pickled vegetable expert in Taohua Village, and it was true. She was not exaggerating at all.

The pickled vegetables are salty, crispy and refreshing. You can never get tired of eating them. She can drink two bowls of porridge with a bite of pickled vegetables.

He put down the salted vegetables, walked to the pot, turned it over with chopsticks, then thought for a while, mixed some starch water, sprinkled it evenly in, and made it into water-fried dumplings.

While the water was evaporating, Xiaoguo went to the egg basket again and took out five duck eggs. One was enough for Xiaoguo, while two eggs each were just right for Zhuangzhuang and Qin Anming.

I don’t know if it’s because of the cold weather recently, but the chickens and ducks don’t like to lay eggs. The number is obviously much less than when it’s warmer, but there are only two of us in the family, so it’s enough to eat.

I took the duck eggs back to the pot, and the moisture inside had just evaporated, making a crackling sound. I quickly took out the small fruits. The bottom of the wontons had been fried into a golden color, which was quite tempting.

While the pan was still hot, I added a spoonful of lard and then beat the duck eggs into it.

Hold the chopsticks to prevent them from sticking, and when they are cooked, put them on a new plate.

As soon as the meal was served, Zhuangzhuang ran over with an excited look on his face, "Mom!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Xiaoguo was washing her hands. When she heard his voice, she looked at him in confusion.

"What are you cooking? It smells so good~" Zhuangzhuang ran to the stove after smelling the aroma. Looking at the steaming pot lid, his eyes were filled with joy.

"Knuckles, chicken, and square meat."

As soon as Xiaoguo finished speaking, Zhuangzhuang started crying and sniffing hard.

Qin Anming arrived later and also sniffed around first, then came for the fragrance.

But when I turned my eyes, I saw a very eye-catching scene.

Qin Anming's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Wow!"

As he spoke, he walked over to the table and looked carefully from top to bottom. Zhuangzhuang also walked over. He hadn't seen it when he came in just now because he was short. Now he moved a stool and stood on it to see the whole picture.

"Wow! This is a full Manchu-Han banquet!"

Qin Anming had never eaten so many dishes at the same time in his life. On normal days, he could only have one dish, and it was a surprise to have two dishes during the New Year and other festivals. But who would have thought that a whole long table full of dishes were being prepared. He looked left and right and couldn't get enough of the curiosity.

This is especially true for Zhuangzhuang. Although his mother's cooking is usually good enough, he is even more looking forward to it today. It would be great if time could suddenly turn to evening!

Xiaoguo looked at their performance and smiled secretly. She couldn't help but feel a little proud. However, she said lightly, "This is nothing. We are not prepared yet."

When Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang heard her say this, they sighed even longer. Xiaoguo even wanted to hold their chins and didn't feel tired after keeping them open for a long time.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time to eat."

Xiaoguo sat on a chair and greeted them.

"Mom, you made breakfast, so when did you get up?"

Zhuangzhuang jumped down with heartache and ran over to hug Xiaoguo.

"You can tell by the candle still burning."

Before Xiaoguo could say anything, Qin Anming blew out the candles and looked at her distressedly, "I'm not saying anything to you, but why are you getting up so early? It would be better if we could clean up together in the morning."

Xiao Guo scratched her head in embarrassment, "It's okay, I'm not tired, really, I just wanted to clean up in advance, so that I can save trouble later."

Xiaoguo smiled after she finished speaking. To be honest, she was too excited to fall asleep. Today is the 30th and it will be New Year's Day after midnight. It is her first New Year here, so how can she not be excited?

Last night, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't lie down. She wanted to get up immediately and start packing. She finally made it to dawn, so she got up in a hurry.
