The breakfast was exceptionally sumptuous. Lin Yuemei's cooking skills were well-known, and there were several dishes that made people drool just by looking at them.
The first dish is beef brisket stewed with tomatoes.
First, peel the tomatoes and chop them into pieces. Wash the beef and chop it into pieces. Put it in a pot with cold water, add onion, ginger and cooking wine and bring to a boil. Remove the floating foam and wash it clean.
Put oil and rock sugar in the pot and stir-fry until the sugar turns brown. Pour in the beef and stir-fry until it turns brown. Add onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add tomatoes and stir-fry until the juice comes out. Add two spoons of soy sauce and dark soy sauce, stir-fry evenly and add appropriate amount of boiling water.
After the water boils, add the beef cubes, turn to low heat, cover the pot, and simmer for about an hour. Then add potato and tomato cubes, an appropriate amount of salt, and simmer for about ten minutes. When the potatoes are soft, you can remove from the pot.
As a typical representative of white meat, chicken is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, etc. It can not only supplement nutrition for the human body, strengthen the body, and enhance physical strength, but also promote the growth and development of infants and adolescents, alleviate unhealthy conditions, and improve the body's immunity.
Lin Yuemei heard all this from an old janitor at the factory who was devoted to health preservation. So for the sake of her family's health, chicken became an indispensable meat for the Su family during the New Year.
The second dish is pepper chicken.
First, prepare a chicken, clean it, cut a piece of green onion into oblique sections, and cut a piece of ginger into slices.
Then put the onion, ginger, chicken and appropriate amount of pepper into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and a spoonful of cooking wine and stew. After the water boils, skim off the foam and stew for another ten minutes.
After ten minutes, soak the chicken in water and set aside a bowl of the original chicken broth. Shred a few green and red bell peppers. Tear the soaked chicken into small pieces and add the shredded green and red bell peppers.
Heat oil in a wok and add Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies until fragrant. Pour in a bowl of plain chicken broth, add a spoonful of soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, salt, and sugar, bring to a boil over high heat until the broth thickens slightly. Pour over the chicken, mix well, and serve.
This delicious pepper and sesame chicken is ready.
The third dish is corn and pork ribs soup.
This is a nourishing soup, the main ingredients of which are corn and pork ribs. Corn can lower blood cholesterol concentration and prevent it from depositing in blood vessel walls. It is rich in nutrients and promotes people's absorption of vitamins and calcium.
First, chop the ribs into lengths of about four centimeters, remove the husks and whiskers of the corn, wash them, and cut them into small pieces.
Put water in the casserole and blanch the ribs. After the water boils, pour out the blood foam in the pot. Control the time well and do not cook the meat too well.
First heat the pan over fire, then add oil and stir-fry the ribs. This will make the soup thicker.
After stir-frying, add water to the pot. Here is a little trick, which is to add two drops of vinegar to the water. This can make the calcium in the ribs more easily dissolve. This will not only be easier for the human body to absorb, but also enhance the flavor and aroma.
Then put the corn and ginger into the pot and cook for half an hour, then put the carrots in and cook. Because carrots are easy to be boiled, they are put in last. Before serving, add a few wolfberries and cook for two minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
The fourth dish is fried tofu with chopped green onions.
First, roll the fresh tofu into slices of uniform thickness and chop the green onions into small pieces.
Then heat the pan with cold oil, add the scallion whites and Sichuan peppercorns, and fry them over low heat. Place the tofu in the pan and fry over low heat. Add the Sichuan peppercorn powder, chili powder, sesame oil, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and salt to the pan in sequence and stir well.
Fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
"Eat quickly." Lin Yuemei felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw her family holding their bowls and eating with relish.
After dinner, Su Nan and Su Yang took the initiative to wash the dishes, and then the family sat on the sofa, chatting and cracking melon seeds. It was so comfortable. However, Su Nan was a little absent-minded, and his eyes glanced towards the door.
Su Yang was sitting next to her, how could he not know her little action? In his heart, he spitted at his sister's idea of "being in Cao's camp but having her heart in Han".
He couldn't help but increase the strength of spitting out the melon seed shells in anger.
Su Qiangguo looked at the melon seed shell flying into his hand and wanted to grab Su Yang by the collar and teach him a lesson, but before he could open his mouth to curse, he caught a glimpse of his wife's sad eyes out of the corner of his eye.
That look seemed to be saying: It's New Year's Day, don't make things difficult for the children.
Su Qiangguo swallowed, thinking of the difficult process of coaxing the angry person after closing the door last night. He silently grabbed the melon seed shell with his hand and threw it into the trash can.
Don't argue with your own son.
At this time, my daughter suddenly said: "Mom and Dad, you haven't been home for a long time. I want to go out for a walk."
"It's so cold, why go out? It's warm and comfortable to stay at home." Su Qiangguo refused subconsciously.
Su Nan choked and gritted his teeth, "Oh, didn't I make some friends when I was in school? I haven't seen them since I went to the countryside. I'm going out for a walk now, so I might as well go find some of them and play with them."
Su Qiangguo wanted to say something, but Lin Yuemei spoke up: "Nannan, go ahead. Remember to come back early for dinner."
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Su Nan immediately smiled, stood up, ran to Lin Yuemei, and kissed her on the cheek.
Su Yang cracked melon seeds fiercely, watched Su Nan skipping back to the room to get her bag, and then walked out the door immediately.

Su Nan quickly went downstairs and ran to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, there was only one female clerk in the supply and marketing cooperative store. During the Chinese New Year holiday, everyone had gone home for reunion, but she still had to be on duty. She was in a particularly bad mood. She caught a glimpse of someone entering the store out of the corner of her eye, and heard a weak voice.
“There are no vegetables or fruits for sale.”
"Hello, I'm not buying anything. I just want to ask if anyone called Su Nan this morning." Su Nan looked at the female clerk with a smile and asked politely.
Hearing this, the female clerk raised her head and looked at Su Nan, and then she froze in place the next second. She had never seen such a beautiful girl, and her whole body seemed to be shining.
"Wait a minute, I'll check for you." The female clerk came to her senses and immediately flipped through the notebook at hand, and found the message in the morning's call records.
"A man called you and said he was waiting for you at the place where we parted last time." The female clerk finished speaking quickly.
Su Nan's eyes lit up, pink bubbles began to appear in her heart, and she smiled shyly: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The female clerk smiled back, her mood improved a little. She stood up and watched Su Nan leave and disappear around the corner.
When did such a beautiful girl appear in their community? Su Nan, this name is quite familiar. Tsk, isn't she the daughter of the Su family from the steel factory?
She remembered meeting Su Nan a few times before, and her temper was very bad. How come she has become so polite now? And she is so good at dressing up and so beautiful?
That's strange.
The female clerk didn't know that this Su Nan was no longer the Su Nan she had seen before. This Su Nan was not that Su Nan.
