Chapter 109 New Year's Eve



After they left, Tong Yiya took the cleaned chicken into the kitchen to soak it. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and she planned to clean the house this afternoon, otherwise she would not have much time to cook tomorrow.

After she finished her meal, she cleaned her room first. She folded the bedding on the kang and covered it with a piece of cloth. Then she got a piece of bamboo, kept the leaves on the tip and trimmed off the rest. Then she brought it into the house and started to stir up the spider webs and some dust.

After stirring, first wipe all the dust on the kang, the top of the wardrobe, the table top and the top of the cabinet to the ground, then sweep the floor clean, turn on the water and wipe it clean, then add the kang and the room will be dry in a short while.

At the back is the pharmacy. It’s relatively simple here. You just need to put away all the medicinal materials and make sure they don’t get dusty. Then clean the pharmacy and then there’s the kitchen.

The kitchen is more troublesome. Tong Yiya has to clean the dust from the kang every two days, and she only cleans the stove in the kitchen every five or six days.

When she entered the kitchen, she first put all the seasonings on the stove and the food in the kitchen into the cupboard, and then started to remove the stove ash.

The next step was to sweep the cobwebs and dust. This was the kitchen, which was much dirtier than the house. Tong Yiya wrapped herself tightly in the kitchen and started sweeping with the bamboo basket. She didn't even put down the walls or the roof, and after sweeping the whole thing, she quickly ran out.

The kitchen was full of dust at this time. She waited for a while before going in to continue cleaning. When she was done, it was already dark outside and she didn't have the energy to cook. She simply washed up outside, locked the gate and went into the house, then went into the space to get the ready-made food.

After eating, I washed myself thoroughly from head to toe, went to the study to read for an hour, and then fell asleep in the space.

The next day, New Year's Eve, Tong Yiya got up early and cooked herself lunch. After eating, she washed the pork legs and stewed them. She also needed to let them rise and steamed two pots of steamed buns.

After stewing the pork leg, she began to tidy up the yard. She also tidied up the firewood shed and cleaned the yard.

After cleaning the yard, she went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and began to knead the dough and steam the buns.

Then I chopped the chicken that Uncle Deng sent yesterday into pieces and prepared to stir-fry it into spicy chicken.

She had prepared quite a few dishes by herself, so today she only needed to stew the pork leg, stir-fry some spicy chicken, and stir-fry two other dishes to go with it, and also steam or fry the things that had been prepared earlier.

After the chicken was chopped, it was time to prepare the ingredients for the stir-fry. Some ginger, garlic and chili were also cut. By the time all the preparations were done, it was already around three in the afternoon.

Seeing that it was getting late, she went into the house to add firewood to the kang, moved her bedding aside, and put the table on the kang before returning to the kitchen to cook and bring food into the house.

The temperature in the room was high, so the vegetables would not dry up quickly. She planned to fry the chicken first, after all, chicken is more difficult to cook.

Returning to the kitchen, she first picked up the steamed buns and put them on the steamer, then took them back to the house for a while and put some of them in the kitchen.

Scoop out the water in the pot, boil away the remaining water at the bottom of the pot, then pour in vegetable oil, first fry the chicken to dry out the moisture, stir-fry for about ten to fifteen minutes, then take the chicken out, leave the bottom oil to fry the chili, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour in the chicken and then add various seasonings.

After stir-frying for two or three minutes, add water to cover the chicken, cover the pot and simmer until the water is dry before serving.

After frying and cooking the chicken, she took a large bowl, put the pig's trotter meat from the other pot into it, brought one bowl into the house, and put the rest into another pot and put it aside.

After cleaning the pot, start pouring oil and fry the fish and meatballs to be re-fried. Put the ones to be steamed directly into another pot and put a steamer on them.

After frying everything, scoop the remaining oil in the pot back into the oil tank. Finally, stir-fry the lettuce with mashed garlic and the shredded pork with garlic sprouts and everything is done.

After bringing all the stir-fried dishes into the house, she cut a plate of pork jelly, served it with a bowl of garlic sauce, and then the braised pork.

Finally, she scooped the cooked chicken into a large bowl and brought it into the house. Then she went back to the kitchen to clean the pot, added two pots of water to boil, and washed the dishes before going back to enjoy her New Year's Eve dinner.

Returning to the house, she looked at the kang table which was now full of food, and there was finally a New Year atmosphere. She took off her shoes and sat on the kang, took out a bottle of fruit wine and a wine glass from the space, and poured herself a glass.

So she just picked up the chopsticks and started eating. After all, she was alone and didn't need to worry about anything. She ate happily.

Not far away, at the Deng family's side, the family was also preparing New Year's Eve meals. Their other two sons and daughters-in-law also came back today. The factories in the city were on holiday and would not go back to work until the third day of the New Year.

When they got back home, the joy of family reunion made the two old people smile all day long. The old people felt that as long as the family was together, no matter how busy or tired they were, they were happy.

When the family got up in the morning, they had breakfast, and then Uncle Deng took his three sons and grandchildren to clean the house inside and out.

Aunt Guihua took her two daughters-in-law and Xiaoya to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The family had a lot of food to cook, so after they entered the kitchen and divided the work, they started to busy themselves. Xiaoya helped to add firewood to the stove from time to time.

On New Year's Eve, no one in the family is idle, and everyone is immersed in the busyness of the New Year celebrations.

Tong Yiya had just finished her meal not long ago, and they had also prepared everything and brought the food into the house to start eating.

Because they have a large family, they built a round table top on the kang table so that all the food can be placed on it, so that the whole family can sit together without being crowded.

The family sat down at the table. Deng Wushi took out his own wine and poured a glass for each of his three sons. Then he said a few words wishing them all the best in the coming year and announced that the meal was about to begin.

The children had been looking at the chicken legs in the chicken soup for a long time. They were the ones that Aunt Guihua reserved for them when she chopped the chicken every year.

The three children, those who wanted chicken legs each took one, and the other took two chicken wings. The three had already divided the food among themselves, and they all asked their parents to put some food in their bowls.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Deng family took a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. She thought it tasted good. She thought it was made by her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, how did you make this braised pork? It's so delicious. Please teach me how to make it. Next time I'll try making it myself in the city."

"This was made by your mother. It was given to her by an educated youth in the village who had a good relationship with her. This pork jelly and this piece of fish were also made by that educated youth," said Uncle Deng Wu.

"It's because I get along well with people that people send food to my house. As for you, who tells you what to eat?" Aunt Guihua said, looking at the old man with displeasure.

"This was done by the educated youth. Why haven't I heard of it? When did the educated youth come to our village?" asked the eldest daughter-in-law.
