The snow came earlier this year. Before the middle of December, white flakes were already falling. Baoya was surprised to see the snow, and her eyes lit up.
Even Tiantian was the same. She was having fun playing in the house, but she immediately ran to the yard to play in the snow.
Feng Guizhi saw that the snow was falling lightly, so she didn't stop them and just stood aside to watch. The two little ones stretched out their hands, trying to catch the falling snowflakes. However, the snowflakes melted as soon as they landed on their hands, leaving only a slight chill.
"Oh? Snow?" Tiantian frowned, her face full of confusion.
"The snow fell too lightly and melted away." Baoya next to her answered Tiantian's question with a blink of her eyes.
"You'll be able to see it when it snows harder. The ground will be all white and you won't be able to see the road." Baoya said, recalling the scene of heavy snow last year.
Tiantian couldn't recall the snowfall last year. She tilted her head and pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. Then, she put the question aside. Then, she ran happily around the yard with Baoya, feeling the cool, white snowflakes landing on her face and neck, bringing a refreshing touch.
When Bowen, Tianen and the others came back from school in the evening, the kids gathered together, spread a thin layer of snow on the ground at the door, and left their footprints.
"Look, does this look like a car wheel print?" Yuanbao imitated what Song Jianshe had done before, and left a series of footprints on the snow with his feet tilted.
"Wow, it seems!"
"I can do it too, I can do it too, look at what I printed."
"I can print out a word!" Wenjie said as he stepped on the word "Song" next to him.
"I can also print out a small flower."
After all, it was the first snow of the year, and the kids were very excited. They started playing and competing with each other. In a short while, the door of Old Song’s house was filled with footprints of all sizes.
"It's time to eat, stop playing." Sun Suyun stood at the kitchen door and shouted towards the main door.
The kids had been playing all day and were hungry. They ran into the house, washed their hands with hot water, and then went into the main room to prepare for dinner.
Soon, plates of steaming hot food were brought in, with a large porcelain bowl of stew in the middle.
White hot steam was coming out, bringing out the fragrance.
The little ones couldn't help but sniff hard. Even though they were not very sensitive in this winter, they could still smell a rich fragrance, with the aroma of meat.
“It smells so good~!”
"Grandma, what did you make today? It looks delicious!"
"Looking at this makes me feel even hungrier. It smells so good~!" Yuanbao said as he covered his rumbling stomach and swallowed.
Tiantian, who was sitting in Feng Guizhi's arms, was even more direct. She stared at the meat in the bowl with her eyes wide open, her mouth watering, and reached out to grab it.
"Meat, eat~"
Seeing Tiantian's anxious look, Chen Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing. She picked up Tiantian's bib and gently wiped her saliva, then pinched her little face and said:
"Little greedy cat."
Feng Guizhi looked at the little ones and saw a smile on their faces. She felt satisfied that they liked her.
"I made this stew with pork ribs. Eat it quickly."
The stew in the middle was made by Feng Guizhi using the spare ribs Song Jianshe brought. In the past, spare ribs were usually stewed directly without adding any other ingredients. The unique aroma of the meat was enough to tempt them. A sip of the soup was also very fragrant.
However, after eating too much stewed food, Feng Guizhi wanted to try something new. After thinking for a while, she tried making a stew.
The ribs are first boiled in the pot, then rinsed with clean water and put back into the pot to continue stewing. These ribs are not afraid of being stewed for a long time. The longer they are stewed, the more fragrant they become and the more tender the meat becomes. When you eat them, you will want to swallow your tongue.
However, before stewing, Feng Guizhi stir-fries the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic in the pot first, and then adds the spices and other ingredients. This way, the dish will taste better later.
Afterwards, the spareribs were poured in, and Feng Guizhi added some chili oil. The originally white clear soup now turned red, which looked very appetizing. Feng Guizhi covered the pot and continued to simmer, then went to cut some side dishes.
The most abundant thing this winter is cabbage, which is cheap and can be stored for a long time. Thinking that there are many people in the family, Feng Guizhi directly took a large cabbage, washed it, chopped it into pieces, and put it into a porcelain basin, filling it up.
However, although the cabbage looks a lot now, it will shrink when it is cooked in the pot later, so Feng Guizhi took out three more potatoes, cut them into pieces and set them aside.
Other vegetables are also
I added a little bit, grabbed a handful of vermicelli, and poured it into the pot. In an instant, the pot was filled with only cabbage, and there was no trace of ribs.
Feng Guizhi stir-fried the vegetables for a few times, poured the broth from the bottom onto the top, and then covered the pot and continued to simmer. The pot was bubbling, and soon the vegetables on top slowly melted into the broth, looking particularly rich and appetizing.
The fragrance slowly drifted out, tempting people to swallow their saliva.
In addition to the pork rib stew, Feng Guizhi also fried two side dishes and served them on the table.
However, even though the pot looked full, it couldn't handle the large number of people in the Song family, especially the four brothers Song Aiguo and Song Aimin. The main laborers would definitely eat more. So, Feng Guizhi thought about it and put in another half pot of plain noodles.
You don’t need to add any extra ingredients to the noodles. Just put them in a bowl and pour some of the broth from the pork ribs over them. It will taste great.
Sure enough, the whole basket of steamed buns was eaten up, and no one at the table stopped eating.
"Mom, these ribs are so delicious, the meat is stewed until it's tender, and it tastes so good when I chew it."
Sun Suyun said as she picked up some food with her chopsticks, "Not only the meat, but even the cabbage is exceptionally delicious. Normally when I stir-fry it, it feels bland, but today's is really delicious."
"There are also vermicelli noodles. I love eating them so much. They are delicious no matter what vegetables they are fried with. They are full of flavor and taste great in one bite."
"You all don't like potatoes? Then let me eat all the potatoes." Song Aimin said as he quickly picked up two pieces of potatoes with his chopsticks.
Song Jianye laughed and grabbed it from him: "Third brother, you can't digest these potatoes if you eat too much. I'll help you eat some."
Yang Yulan, sitting next to her, couldn't stop laughing and said, "Mom's cooking is really delicious. I need to learn more from her in the future."
The adults were having a great time eating, and the children at the table were enjoying the delicious food.
"Hmm, so... delicious, the ribs are so fragrant, and the vermicelli is so flavorful."
"Yeah, well, I used to think cabbage was disgusting, but now it smells so good and delicious~!"
“Every dish is delicious, I eat them all.”
“.......”
After a few words, the children buried their heads in their food, not even bothering to talk. Baoya scooped a piece of potato from the bowl and put it into his mouth, a look of satisfaction on his little face.
She used to be very
I seldom get to eat delicious food, so when I can eat it now, I will cherish it especially, chew it slowly, and savor every bite carefully, unlike the other little ones who eat in a hurry.
However, Tian'en and Bowen would always help Baoya pick up some food when they were eating, so after eating for a while, her bowl was still full and she didn't eat less than her other brothers.
Tian En ate a piece of potato himself and put a piece of pork ribs in Bao Ya's bowl. Bao Ya raised her head from the bowl and smiled sweetly at him with her eyes curved.
Tian'en also laughed, feeling happy in his heart, even happier than after eating the ribs.
When the bowl was almost empty, Feng Guizhi went to the kitchen and scooped out the noodles. They had been cooked slowly over low heat, and now they tasted just right, not at all greasy.
"If you're not full, have some noodles with the soup." Feng Guizhi put the bowls on the table and anyone who wanted to eat could help themselves.
Everyone took a bowl and filled it with noodles, but the amount varied. Song Aiguo, who felt hungry, filled a bowl. Chen Xiuxiu had almost finished her meal, so she took a little noodles to taste it.
This vegetable soup made with stewed pork ribs and added with spices is so delicious just by looking at it. It will definitely taste delicious if you pour some on the noodles and mix them together.
The children at the smaller table had almost finished their meal, and when they saw noodles, they took their bowls and filled them with some. Yang Yulan went over and poured soup into their bowls. Yuanbao couldn't wait to take a big bite, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Without saying a word, he buried his head and started slurping. In no time, he finished half a bowl of noodles. He then quickly stood up and handed the bowl to Song Jianshe while chewing the noodles in his mouth.
"Dad, oh... oh, I want to eat more. Please give me some more..." Yuanbao said vaguely to Song Jianshe with bulging cheeks.
The other little ones saw it and immediately started eating. As soon as the sauce-colored noodles entered their mouths, their eyes widened.
“Ah, these noodles are so delicious!”
"Mmm, smells so good, tastes so good!"
"I feel like I can eat three bowls, no, five bowls!"
However, even if this was true, it was only before. They had already eaten almost enough, so even though they were all very greedy at this moment, their stomachs were simply unable to hold any more.
Seeing the delicious food right in front of them, the little ones touched their stomachs and wanted to cry:
"I really want to eat it. It's so delicious, but I really can't eat it anymore."
"Stomach, can't you fight for it?"
"Grandma, can we put the leftover soup in for tomorrow and pour it over the noodles?"
Feng Guizhi laughed and said, "Why keep this little vegetable soup? If you want to eat more, there will be spare ribs next time. Grandma will make it for you."
"We still have some pork at home. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow. Don't worry about this little vegetable soup."
When they heard that there would be delicious food tomorrow, the little ones put down the soup even though they were still thinking more about the pork ribs stew.
However, in the end, not a single drop of soup was left, as Song Aiguo and his four brothers finished it all with the noodles, leaving nothing wasted. The plates were all clean, leaving only their bulging bellies.
After finishing their hearty meal, the Song family members were exhausted. They sat in the main room for a while to digest their food. Then, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Now every room has a kang, and they had put some firewood in it to light it while we were eating. Now it was warm and comfortable to lie on. It didn't take long before they all fell into a deep sleep.
However, before leaving, Feng Guizhi called Song Jianshe and told him something.
