Lin Siya spent several days preparing for this New Year's Eve dinner.
Due to the snowstorm some time ago, supplies are in short supply both in the city and in the town.
Due to the continuous low temperatures, vegetables were frozen to death on a large scale, and many livestock were also frozen to death in this snow disaster.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, in order to let the people have a good year, the municipal government urgently allocated a batch of supplies from other places, which solved the problem of material shortages in the entire city.
Even so, it can only ensure that everyone can have a full meal during the New Year. As for those good things, don't even think about it. You can't buy them without channels.
As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. It is impossible for Lin Siya to produce many good things out of thin air. Even if there are plenty of good things in the space, she can only try her best to find ways and reasons to take them out.
She was afraid of taking out too much and arousing suspicion, so she could only take out some bacon, sausages, etc., and some frozen chicken and duck. As for fresh vegetables, there was no way she could buy them because no one else could buy them.
However, there was some pickled cabbage at home, and Fu Sinian also brought back a fish, so he could make a dish of pickled fish in the evening.
"Come, Anian, Comrade Lin, look what I brought back for you."
Yang Bo picked up the two luggage bags on the ground, unzipped them, and started taking things out.
In a short while, the table was full of things.
"This, what is this?" Lin Siya widened her eyes.
These were all prepared for you by Anian's mother and the people at home. Knowing that you couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year, she asked me to bring them to you when I came back this time.
Lin Siya was deeply touched. She didn't expect that Fu Sinian's family would be so thoughtful.
At the same time, she also blamed herself a little. She had been busy with reconstruction after the snow disaster and had not thought about sending New Year gifts to the Fu family. She even did not have time to send the down jacket she signed in through the sign-in system to the Fu family.
The things prepared by the Fu family were really comprehensive, including food, drinks, and even a set of clothes for her. When Lin Siya saw so many things, her eyes were red. She didn't expect that she had never met the Fu family, but they were so nice to her.
Seeing Lin Siya's expression, Fu Sinian hugged her in his arms with heartache. He knew that the little woman in his arms must have thought of her parents who had passed away long ago, and remembered her tragic experience, which made him feel even more distressed.
After a long time, Lin Siya calmed down and said to Yang Bo.
"Comrade Yang, since you are A-Nian's brother, you don't have to call me Comrade Lin. You are older than me, so just call me Xiaoya. Thank you so much for carrying so many things back from afar."
"Oh, okay, Xiaoya, then you can call me Brother Yang. This little thing doesn't mean anything to me. The main thing is to convey the thoughts of my aunt and the others." Yang Bo looked indifferent.
"Well, with all these good things, we can have a good New Year."
Lin Siya rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work. As for the two men, she sent them to clean and put up couplets.
Lin Siya took a look at what Yang Bo brought back, and there were a lot of food in it.
I opened a tightly packed jar at random, and a burst of fragrance hit my nose. It contained braised beef, and the smell was very authentic.
However, Lin Siya heard from Fu Sinian that no one in his family was very good at cooking, and she didn't know who made the braised beef. The jar was full and it looked like it weighed about five or six pounds.
There are also some dried goods, such as dried mushrooms and vermicelli. Lin Siya immediately thought that she could use these dried mushrooms to make a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and as for vermicelli, she could directly make a pork stewed with vermicelli.
These are all Northeastern dishes, which are rarely seen here, but Lin Siya had been to the Northeast before and lived there for a period of time, so she fell in love with authentic Northeastern cuisine.
Although Northeastern cuisine may not look good, it tastes great and has a special Chinese New Year atmosphere.
In addition to these dry goods and braised beef, there are also some candies and snacks, and the items are very complete.
When Lin Siya saw these things, the New Year's Eve dinner that had been planned immediately changed.
In addition to the already prepared chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with noodles and pickled fish, there is also braised pork and stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
I have been growing garlic sprouts in clay pots. People here like to use some broken clay pots to grow garlic sprouts, onions and other seasonings, so I don’t need to go to the vegetable market to buy them.
Because it was snowing, Lin Siya moved these clay pots into the kitchen, and the garlic sprouts survived. They are one of the few green vegetables now.
There are no vegetables at home except cabbage. Even radishes, which are common in winter, are hard to buy.
After all the side dishes were prepared, Lin Siya started cooking.
The two men had already cleaned the yard and posted the red couplets.
There were bursts of delicious food coming from the kitchen, and the neighbors on both sides were filled with the laughter and playfulness of children.
Even if life is hard, everyone will try their best to have a good meal during the Chinese New Year.
This year is also a special year. Due to the snow disaster, everyone has had an extremely hard time this year. But no matter how hard it is, we are happy today.
Some wealthier families would even buy small firecrackers for their children, so the sounds of firecrackers could be heard sporadically on the streets.
