On the Fu family's side, Lin Siya was the head chef, and the rest of the people helped out. The whole family worked together to prepare a large table of delicious dishes.
The Blooming Fortune Prawns are adorable, the Braised Pork is bright red, the Pickled Fish brings abundance year after year, and the Ginseng Chicken Soup is nourishing...
It can be said that Lin Siya used all her life's skills. After being here for so long, this was the most enjoyable cooking experience she had ever had.
You don’t have to worry about your neighbors smelling or gossiping about you when you’re cooking meat.
Everyone sat together and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
"It's so delicious!" Old Master Fu nodded with satisfaction. "Xiao Ya, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. This old man is really lucky."
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa." Lin Siya smiled happily.
The family ate and chatted, talking about the achievements of work this year and the happy things in life. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The children and grandchildren are all around, and the elderly people in the family are also very happy.
Grandma Fu smiled and said, "Today is our Fu family's reunion day. From now on, we will gather together like this every day to celebrate together."
After hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes together and then sat in the living room to chat and watch TV.
There was no Spring Festival Gala this year, and there were not many programs on the small black and white TV, but everyone still enjoyed watching it.
Mother Fu also took out the candies, snacks and melon seeds that she had prepared long ago. Outside the yard, the sound of children playing with firecrackers could be heard.
"Wife, let's go and play too." Fu Sinian took out a string of firecrackers from somewhere and pulled Lin Siya out.
The moonlight was cold, and the children were playing and fighting. Occasionally, one or two firecrackers could be heard. Some naughty children even stuffed the lit firecrackers into the snow pile, and then they exploded with a bang, splashing snowflakes and causing cheers from the children.
Lin Siya was a little afraid of firecrackers, but she didn't want to spoil the fun, so she covered her ears and stood far away. Fu Sinian smiled, took the firecrackers and walked to a distance to light them.
"Crackle--" After a burst of noise, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which is a unique smell of the New Year.
It is completely different from the deserted New Year atmosphere decades later. At this time, every household is looking forward to the New Year, because during the New Year, they can wear new clothes and eat delicious food. Unlike decades later, the New Year is just a holiday.
The sound of firecrackers exploding was very loud. Lin Siya patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Fu Sinian came over and handed her a small box.
"What is this?" Lin Siya opened the box curiously, and inside was a pair of beautiful earrings.
"A New Year's gift," Fu Sinian said. "I had a craftsman make it for me. Do you like it?"
Lin Siya looked at the earrings in surprise, nodded, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Fu Sinian gently put the earrings on her, and the two smiled at each other.
After the two of them had enough fun and returned to the house, Lin Siya went into the kitchen again and prepared to start mixing the stuffing and making dumplings. The task of kneading the dough was given to Fu Sinian.
There are a lot of ingredients at home and plenty of space, so she plans to make a few different kinds of fillings. She'll start with one with lamb and green onions, which is her favorite.
The mutton was marinated and chopped green onions were added and mixed evenly. Fu Sinian had already prepared the dough. All the people present were from the north, and they rolled out the dumpling skins with their hands.
Lin Siya placed the bowl of mutton and green onion stuffing in the middle, and her grandmother, grandmother and mother-in-law started making dumplings. Her father-in-law was good at rolling out dumpling wrappers and was very fast. It was obvious that he worked very hard on it.
Lin Siya went to prepare other fillings. Her mother-in-law liked leeks and eggs, so she wrapped some in it as well. She also put chopped vermicelli in it to make it taste better.
We also have cabbage and pork fillings as well as pork and green onion fillings, basically taking everyone's taste into consideration.
Lin Siya can make dumplings in several different shapes. Although she was born in the south, she has a special liking for pasta.
Especially during the three years of the epidemic, she had to be quarantined at home from time to time. When she had nothing to do, she would knead flour at home. During that time, she really learned a lot of pasta recipes, including Chinese, Western, and various pasta snacks.
Not to mention dumplings, buns and steamed buns, they are made in all kinds of ways.
Thinking about it, this period of time was really fun. Although she was locked up at home alone, it was also the most relaxing time for her.
She was also very moved when she saw the medical staff who rushed to the front line without hesitation. For this reason, she drew a lot of pictures about these medical staff. In order to let more people pay attention to these great people, she also posted these paintings on social platforms and gained a lot of fans.
After preparing all the fillings, Lin Siya also joined in making dumplings.
The women in the family are all experts in making dumplings, and of course the men in the family are also no exception.
However, the one who made the most beautiful and varied dumplings was Lin Siya. When kneading the dough, she even squeezed out several kinds of vegetable juice and asked Fu Sinian to knead them into the dough.
So she had an orange dough made from carrot juice, a green dough made from spinach juice, and white flour.
Soon, she had lifelike emerald cabbage dumplings, three-color dumplings, and the kind of dumplings made directly from white bread that are common in a certain county's snacks.
The brightly colored and lifelike dumplings stunned everyone at the table.
"Xiaoya, what's going on in your head? How do you make such beautiful dumplings?"
"That's right, dumplings this good-looking should be delicious."
Mother Fu was stunned. She never thought that ordinary white flour dumplings could be made into so many different kinds of dishes. She really made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law.
"What's the big deal? Yaya can make a lot of delicious things, including pumpkin cakes, pumpkin buns, and all kinds of buns. In short, my wife is amazing."
Fu Sinian was very happy to see that everyone in his family praised Lin Siya. He thought his wife didn't need anyone's praise, she was just better than ordinary people.
When the people present heard Fu Sinian say this, they felt jealous, sour, and happy at the same time. Such a good cabbage was actually taken away by their own little brat.
After hearing what Fu Sinian said, we knew that this brat must have eaten a lot on a regular basis. The people present felt very jealous, but it didn’t matter, because the daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) was their own, and there would definitely be many opportunities to taste the cooking skills of the daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) in the future.
When making dumplings, Lin Siya also put coins that had been cleaned and disinfected long ago into the dumplings to see who would be the lucky one tonight.
