Chapter 148 A Lively Meal
"Come here and make dumplings." Sister Xiuhong started to make the dumpling wrappers and called everyone to come and make dumplings.
The sisters-in-law quickly stood up, washed their hands beside the water pump, and went into the living room.
The aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen has already made people hungry. Meat dumplings with roasted rabbit, roasted chicken, and venison, just thinking about it makes me drool.
"Auntie, just take a rest under the awning. The sisters-in-law will come over when they are busy." Seeing that Grandma Honghua was about to get up to help, Lin Qingqing smiled and called them to stop.
Granny Honghua stuck her head out to see that the hall was crowded with people, then sat back down under the awning.
The hall was crowded with Sister Xiuhong, Li Xiuzhen, Wu Aiju, Zhou Cuifang and Chen Qiuchan. Sister Xiaoli and Sister Honghua were busy in the kitchen, Lin Qingqing was cutting venison, and Yinghong was helping.
Xiaomei led a group of young children to play on the bluestone slab, while Jiang Haixia led a few older children to sit cross-legged on the slab. Granny Honghua watched the children playing.
Everyone in the yard was busy with their own things, and time passed quickly...
Lin Qingqing removed all the meat from the deer and roe deer, leaving only two complete sets of bones.
These bones also contain bone marrow, which is very good for making bone soup, but these bones are too thick, so she called Jiang Haixia for help.
"Haixia, come and chop these big bones into several pieces." Lin Qingqing found an axe and handed it to Jiang Haixia.
When he took the knife, he saw that there was not much firewood left next to the kitchen. He couldn't help but think that Song Yiyuan had been gone for more than ten days. If he didn't come back, the firewood would be burned out.
Jiang Haixia took the knife, and several older children stood beside her and watched excitedly.
Jiang Haixia placed the bone on the chopping board, raised her knife, and with three consecutive "bangs", the nearly half-meter-long bone was broken into four pieces.
The children clapped their hands and cheered: "Sister Jiang is so amazing, so amazing~"
Sister Jiang?
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Jiang Haixia, who always had a cold face and murderous eyes, was so popular with children.
Xiaomei's eyes and face were full of envy. If she had such skills and strength, she would only need one hand to fight with those aunts and young wives in the village.
Jiang Haixia chopped the deer bones and roe deer bones into pieces and put them in the large basin cleaned by Lin Qing.
In the afternoon, Lin Qingqing prepared to cook bone soup. If it became a thick soup, it would definitely be delicious when used to cook noodles.
Sister Honghua stuck her head out of the kitchen and called into the living room, "Shall we boil water now?"
The rabbit and chicken in the big pot were cooked and emptied out, while the venison in the small pot was still stewing.
Sister Xiuhong replied: "Let's burn it now."
It was almost time for dinner, so Lin Qingqing quickly prepared the meat for her sisters-in-law. She chopped the chicken into two halves and divided it into eight portions with the other meat.
There is also a basin of animal offal, including rabbit and chicken. Whichever sister-in-law wants it can take it away.
The offal of deer and roe deer is braised and eaten at home.
In the evening, a rabbit, a chicken, and a large piece of deer or roe deer meat were sent to the chief and political commissar's homes as a treat.
Sister Yinghong also hung up the big pot of roe deer meat and venison.
"It's time to make dumplings." Honghua shouted.
When the water in the pot boiled and it was time to put the dumplings in, she urged her sisters-in-law.
The venison in the small pot was also taken out, water was boiled, and the two pots were cooked together.
The sister-in-law in the living room came out with various boards and oil paper for dumplings and went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
When the little kids saw the adults carrying the plump white dumplings into the kitchen, they lost interest in playing and stared towards the kitchen, waiting for the adults to call them to eat.
Several sisters-in-law took out the bowls, basins and chopsticks they had brought and washed them.
