Braised pork with pork is definitely a must. Even though we have been eating it for two days in a row, the four brothers and sisters still haven’t had enough and feel that it must be made for the New Year’s Eve dinner!
I brought back a chicken and originally planned to stew it, but Lin Manman was disgusted with eating only stews in the winter, so I decided to make a roast chicken!
A big fish that I specially kept. Because it is frozen, it can only be stewed with sauce, otherwise other methods will not be able to suppress the fishy smell!
The ribs will be sweet and sour. This was the unanimous decision made by the four brothers and sisters after they tasted the sweet and sour ribs made by Lin Manman!
The shrimps are braised in oil, and all four of my brothers and sisters like it!
For a cold dish, just mix some cabbage hearts, which tastes sweet and sour. Add some vermicelli to whet your appetite!
A crispy yellow vegetable, crispy, crunchy and sweet. Lin Manman likes to eat crispy yellow vegetable as a dessert after meal!
There are also the two kinds of meatballs and crispy pork fried earlier, and with one plate, there are exactly 8 dishes!
Just these eight dishes, six of which are staple dishes, would be quite sumptuous, not to mention in this era, even in later times, let alone in this era!
None of the four siblings are lazy, but the cooking skills of the three brothers are hard to describe!
Lin Guoping and Lin Shouwang are equally matched, only in terms of familiarity. Forget about Lin Shangjing!
He didn't know what was going on. He was a quick learner and was quite smart.
Cooking is simply a destruction of the ingredients!
Apart from the steamed rice which was quite good, the other dishes were so bad that it made people suspect he had poisoned them!
So when it comes to cooking, Lin Manman is the only one who can do it!
As for the other three, Lin Shangjing, the least capable one, is responsible for making fire, and the other two are responsible for helping Lin Manman!
After cooking, the three brothers were responsible for cleaning up the dishes. Even Lin Guoping and the other two felt that Lin Manman was the one who suffered the most!
In fact, in Lin Manman’s opinion, being a chef is not a tiring job at all. What’s tiring are the preparations at the beginning and the cleanup at the end!
But it feels good to be spoiled by three brothers!
Because Lin Yintian was not coming to celebrate the New Year, and the four siblings wanted to be reunited, so they spent the New Year in Lin Yintian’s cowshed!
Of course, cooking so many dishes in the cowshed would be too eye-catching, so the four brothers and sisters prepared the dishes, put them on large plates, put them in food boxes, wrapped them in quilts, put them in a backpack, and then went to the cowshed!
When they arrived at the cowshed, Aunt Zhou had already steamed the rice. Seeing Lin Manman and the other three coming over, she set the table for dinner!
There was no decent table in the cowshed, so they brought back the gate boards from outside, cleaned them, put stools underneath, and made it into a long table. They put the dishes on the table and started eating!
There were only a few stools, and with the door panels as padding, there was no place to sit. But people didn't care and some even ate while standing!
Lin Yintian and Uncle Min took out the hidden wine and poured it for the three brothers. Lin Manman and Aunt Zhou drank the soda that Lin Manman specially bought.
Not to mention that Lin Yintian was very excited to see his son and daughter by his side, even Uncle Min, who was usually introverted, had tears in his eyes when he saw such a lively New Year atmosphere!
When Aunt Zhou saw Uncle Min like this, she knew why he was like this. It was because he was thinking about his son who was far away abroad and his good-for-nothing daughter!
Uncle Min has always loved his daughter more, so he feels even worse!
On the contrary, Aunt Zhou, as the mother, knows the two children's personalities better because she raised them since they were young!
It would be a lie to say that she was not angry with her daughter, but it was even more impossible to say that she had forgiven her. She just thought that her daughter was no longer around in those days. She would rather be sad when she thought of this child than to acknowledge this heartless daughter again!
She knew that Uncle Min was upset, but it was New Year's Day and it was not worth it to be sad because of such a disaster. Aunt Zhou interrupted Uncle Min and said:
"We are thanks to Lao Lin that we can eat so many delicious dishes today!"
"Manman's craftsmanship is so good, but I don't know which kid will get the free gift!"
