Chapter 173 Preparing Meals



After that, Tong Yiya started to take the two of them to fry meatballs and fish every day, as well as some other main dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner table.

The three of them started by frying meatballs on the first day. Tong Yiya was in charge of preparing the side dishes for the fried meatballs. After she taught Fu Shinian and the other man how to squeeze the meatballs, she gave the job of frying the meatballs in the oil pan to the two of them.

At the beginning, Guard Dong got his hand burned by the oil in the pot and shouted, "Oh... the oil is so hot!"

Tong Yiya heard the noise and walked over to see that he put the meatballs into the pot directly from the middle of the pot. If the oil didn't get hot, who would it get?

So he laughed and said, "If you put the meatballs like this, the oil will jump up and your hands will definitely be burned if you are not careful."

"Oh, so how do we put it?" asked Guard Dong.

"You have to put it along the edge of the pot, not too high from the oil surface," said Tong Yiya

Fu Shinian also tried it as she said, and when he saw that the oil didn't jump up, he said, "This really works."

"Of course, you two continue working on it, I still need to mix the other ingredients," Tong Yiya said

After saying that, he went to the side and continued doing his own work. The three of them spent the whole afternoon frying a lot of meatballs, which were enough for the three of them to eat until the beginning of spring.

The next day, the three of them started frying fish. This time, Tong Yiya was mixing the seasoning in the back, while Fu Shinian and the other two were frying the fish.

In Fu Shinian's words, it would not be good for a girl like her to get scalded by the oil, so she just left the job to the two of them.

The next day, Tong Yiya started to make the meat with sand in it. It was simple. The three of them could do it together and then just steam it in a pot.

She also stewed some mutton these days. They drank most of the soup and put the cooked lamb legs and chops aside so they could just heat them up and eat them later.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, Tong Yiya said to the two of them, "We have almost prepared all the dishes. In the next two days, you two should clean your yard carefully. After all, it is the Chinese New Year."

"Do you need to clean up here?" Fu Shinian asked

"If you want to clean up, I can do it myself, there's no rush," Tong Yiya said

"Then I'll finish cleaning our yard first, and then come over to help you clean your side. You can take a day off tomorrow. It's tiring work to be around the stove every day these days," said Fu Shinian.

"It's so cold today, I can't sit idle, so I can just do some cleaning and it won't be tiring," said Tong Yiya

"Then you can do some easy work, those that require physical strength, and wait for me to come over before doing it." Fu Shinian thought so.

If it was too late for him to finish his job, he would not be able to finish cleaning this side in a whole day. He couldn't persuade Tong Yiya, so he asked her to clean some places first.

"Okay, let's clean up. We also need to send some of the dishes we prepared to grandpa and the others. We won't go there on New Year's Day," Tong Yiya said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

After the three of them finished dinner, Dong Weibing went to wash the dishes, while Tong Yiya and Fu Shinian sat by the clay stove, peeling the old skins of the green onions stored at home. They were going to be eaten on New Year's Day. If they made some now, they would be more convenient to use later.

After Guard Dong finished washing the dishes, he sat by the fire for a while. Tong Yiya filled their thermos with hot water, and then the two of them carried the water back to their yard.

After Tong Yiya and others left, she tidied up, washed up, and went back to her room. She lay down on the kang, turned off the lights, and then slipped into her own space.

Recently, after having meals with Fu Shinian and the others, they were often in her yard, so she spent much less time in the space.

Usually she would just go into the space to read books. Now it was a little difficult for her to improve her medical skills, so she had not read any medical books recently. Instead, she would read any book she found in the study room of the space.

Tong Yiya stayed in the space until eleven o'clock at night before coming out to rest and slept until the next morning.

She opened her eyes and saw that it was already bright outside. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past eight o'clock. She sat up from the kang, put on her cotton coat and trousers, put on her socks, and folded the bedding and put it on the kang.

She got off the kang, went to the kitchen to boil some water and washed up. Then she opened the gate and went to the kitchen to boil water, waiting for the two men to come and make breakfast.

Not long after, Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing came over. The three of them cooked noodles for breakfast in the morning. Their life was unique in the village.

This is because the place where they live is not far from other houses in the village, and this place is also considered remote, so they dare to eat like this every day.

The three of them are the type that don't like to talk to other people. After they hibernate in the winter, no one will come to them to call for them.

After breakfast, the two went back and started cleaning the house. After the two left, Tong Yiya found some newspapers to fold a hat for herself, then took out the long-handled broom she had made two years ago for brushing dust, covered the bedding in the house, and started sweeping.

First, sweep the dust and spider webs in the house, then sweep the dust on the kang and the cabinet to the ground, clean up the debris on the floor, and then get water to wipe everything that needs to be wiped.

At the pharmacy, all they do is take out the medicinal materials one by one, clean up the fine residue in the small drawer, and then put the medicinal materials back in place.

Tong Yiya cleaned her room and the pharmacy throughout the day. In the afternoon, Fu Shinian and the others also finished cleaning.

But it was getting late, so they decided to have dinner first and clean the kitchen tomorrow.

Now the only thing left to be cleaned is the kitchen, but this place is not so easy to clean. After all, there are too many things in it, and they have to be covered up before they can be swept.

Tong Yiya didn't know if they would feel dirty if they accidentally swept the cobwebs from the roof into the food they made, but she would, so when she was covering things again, she repeatedly reminded them to be careful.

She asked Fu Shinian to bring large pots of meat and meatballs that couldn't even be covered to her room and put them there first.

The three of them worked until two o'clock in the afternoon and finally cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.

The three of them thought that they still had to deliver food to the elderly in the evening, so they prepared dinner early. After dinner, it was already dark outside, but because the ground was covered with white snow, they could still barely see the road clearly while walking on the road.

This time, all three of them came together. After all, Tong Yiya had prepared a lot of things, and they had an abundance of mutton this year, so she brought them almost ten kilograms of cooked meat.

Fu Shinian was carrying a backpack filled with all kinds of food and some grain. Tong Yiya had to carry the basin of meat, but he was reluctant to do so, so he didn't call the guards.

When the three men arrived at the shed, the old people had just finished cleaning and returned to the shed. The two grandmothers were cooking. When they saw the three men coming, they called them into the house and talked.
