After Chen's mother left, Su Xia began to prepare dumplings.
I used good white flour and wrapped 20 pork and sauerkraut dumplings, 20 oil-dregs and sauerkraut dumplings, and 20 beef dumplings.
I just finished making the bread and then started making dumplings.
In the end, we packed 30 pieces of beef, 40 pieces of pork, and 20 pieces of sauerkraut.
call.....
Sitting on the stool, drinking milk tea, I am really too tired, otherwise I would like to save trouble by cooking during the first month of the lunar year. I really don’t want to do it.
Su Xia felt a headache just thinking about making dumplings again.
Two big pots and the stove were all lit. Buns were steamed in one pot, dumplings were boiled in the other big pot, and dishes were cooked on the stove.
One plate of fried chicken wings, one plate of stir-fried vegetables, and one plate of scrambled eggs.
After the dish is ready, put the dumplings in and add a little bit of salt. I heard that this will prevent the dumplings from breaking easily.
But she didn't realize that she still broke when she should, just for the sake of psychological comfort.
"Niuniu, have you eaten yet?"
The little kid who was playing in the living room heard his mother calling him, ran to wash his hands, and then climbed onto the stool and sat down.
Su Xia served the dumplings and three dishes to the table.
I steamed the remaining buns myself, so that the two large pots and two layers of steamers were enough to hold them.
Niu Niu looked at the table full of sumptuous dinner without picking up her chopsticks, and kept waiting for Su Xia.
After Su Xia sat down, she looked at the kid curiously and wondered why he wasn't eating.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you hungry?"
Niuniu: "I want to wait for mom to eat together."
Su Xia had no choice but to pick up a dumpling for her: "Eat it, let's eat together."
Niu Niu happily picked up the dumplings in the bowl and started eating, and then she ate chicken wings and eggs. Each time, her chopsticks accurately passed over the plate of green vegetables.
Su Xia looked at the evil-minded kid speechlessly.
I just picked up a piece of food with my chopsticks.
“What did I tell you? Even if you don’t like it, you have to eat a little.
Children who eat green vegetables grow up beautifully. ”
Niuniu looked at the food in the bowl with disdain, "Mom, I don't like it. It tastes so bad!"
"You have to eat some even if it tastes bad. If you want to be as dark as other children in the village, that would not look good. So just eat a little.
I didn't ask you to eat it all, but you must eat a little every day. ”
Niuniu thought about the children she had seen, all of whom were very dark. Looking at her own arms, she thought they were going to be very dark...
Shake your head, absolutely not.
Looking at the vegetables in the bowl, it is precisely for this reason that I can still bear it.
Su Xia watched her eat the vegetables and picked some more for her. She still had to coax the child. This was because she spoiled her. If she had no space, she would not eat vegetables and would only eat pickles for every meal.
After the two of them finished their meal, Niu Niu did not run back to the living room as usual.
And 놆 stayed and helped Su Xia pick up the bowls and chopsticks.
Su Xia watched the people who smiled at her being treated one by one, and then she just let her do it. If she wanted to do it, then just do it!
"Okay, thank you Niuniu, I'll leave the rest to you, go and have fun!"
The kid felt that he was praised and encouraged, and walked away happily clapping his hands.
Su Xia picked out all the steamed buns, and after they had cooled, she put some of them in clean cartons outside to freeze them, and also froze the meat that Chen's mother had brought.
Su Xia had already cleared this place, put wooden boxes on it, put a cardboard box inside, and covered it with plastic, so it became a natural refrigerator.
I left 6 buns for tomorrow's snack and put the rest into the space.
After finishing the work, Su Xia took Niu Niu to wash her face and feet, and then lay down on the bed. The little girl passed the time easily. Su Xia looked at Niu Niu who was sleeping beside her, and she touched the baby in her belly, and seemed to feel the baby move.
Recently, I can clearly feel the fetal movement, and each time it brings a new experience to Su Xia. It's only three months before she can see the baby, and I'm looking forward to it.
Su Xia fell asleep while thinking.
When I woke up the next day, it was almost ten o'clock again.
I looked to the side and saw that Niu Niu had woken up early and was reading a picture book quietly. When Zhuntou saw Su Xia wake up, he climbed into her arms and started to act like a spoiled child, "Mom, you're awake. I've been waiting for you."
He touched Su Xia's belly again and said, "Brother, you are too sleepy!"
Su Xia...
It happens every day, I'm used to it.
"Okay, get busy and light the fire. When the room is warm, you can get up."
Su Xia got up and started to light the coal stove, the big pot to heat the kang, and cooked porridge and heated up buns under the quilt. She also heated up the leftover dishes from yesterday.
Niu Niu also got up at this time. She dressed herself, washed her face and hands, and applied facial cream by herself. Only Su Xia had to comb her hair.
In fact, Niu Niu is very easy to take care of. She does everything on her own and usually doesn't ask Su Xia for help. She only stays away from home when it's cold in winter. She goes to the old house to play by herself the rest of the time and comes back naturally when it's time to eat.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Niu Niu stayed in the living room alone.
Su Xia started to prepare to make tofu. She would not go to the old house to use the grinder today. She asked Chen to make a small one and put it on the stove.
But Su Xia is too lazy to grind it by hand, so she decided to use high-tech.
Drain the soybeans that were soaked yesterday.
Then take out the wall-breaking machine in the space, put the soaked soybeans in it, add appropriate amount of water, and start the wall-breaking machine.
Then filter the fine soy milk with gauze, put the bean dregs aside, and follow the same steps. After all the beans are prepared, pour the filtered soy milk into the pot.
Start cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the pan from getting stuck.
After the water boils, cook for ten more minutes, which is good.
Su Xia wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was just following the tutorial. Whether he succeeded or not depended on this.
First, fill two cups of soy milk, add sugar, let it cool for a while and then drink it.
Then dissolve the paste in water to make brine, pour in the soy milk with one hand, and stir constantly with a spoon in the other hand.
When it becomes floc-like, it is called tofu pudding. After it slowly separates from the water, it is basically done.
Su Xia found the mold she used to make tofu, put gauze on it, poured the mixture of tofu pudding and water into the mold, wrapped it with gauze, and pressed it with a clean board.
After waiting for more than two hours, the tofu is formed.
Su Xia cleaned up the kitchen, took two cups of soy milk and went to the living room to rest.
"Niuniu, come here and have some soy milk."
The kid ran over, picked up the cup and took a big gulp.
"Mom, it's delicious and sweet."
Then he took another big sip.
Su Xia drank it in small sips like a lady.
"It tastes good. Drink it slowly so you don't choke."
After taking a nap for a while, when Su Xia woke up, the snow in the yard outside had been swept away.
Then he curiously asked the girl he was playing with, "Who's here?"
"Mom, Grandpa is here, where is the water in the kitchen?"
When Su Xia got up and went to the kitchen, Chen Yu was pouring water into the tub.
"Dad, thank you for your help"
Chen Xiao waved his hand. "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of sweeping snow and watering. Just take good care of your health."
Su Xia nodded, but she still felt that both Chen and his mother were good people, at least they were good to her and Niuniu.
I'm still thinking about giving something as a gift. I promised to make a Lei Feng hat, but I haven't made it yet. I'll make it in these few days!
"By the way, Dad, have you asked the captain how to raise pigs if you want to?"
Chen mentioned this with some concerns. He was not as optimistic as his wife thought. When his family had raised piglets before, they were already very small and skinny, not to mention feeding two or three at a time.
However, since the eldest lady was so arrogant, it would be difficult for him, as the father-in-law, to interfere.
"I told you that when we catch piglets in the spring, the captain will bring them all back. If there are any piglets raised by villagers, we will also catch them together."
Su Xia nodded. This was the best way. She could just pay the money directly when the time came.
Then he went back to the house with peace of mind. As for Chen 꿵, he continued to water the house and swept the snow on the roof, in front and behind the house, and even cleared the way to the toilet.
Chen looked at the clean chicken coop and the empty shed next to it. He was curious about the extra mess when it was first built, but now he thought it had already been cleaned up then.
The toilet next door now has a door curtain, so it's not cold inside and it's clean and tidy.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel satisfied. He really looked down on this eldest daughter-in-law at the beginning, but now she is living a better and better life alone. Even today, she has saved a lot of food. The money given by other villages, plus the food she sells, also includes Jianguo's salary.
Chen Xiao guessed that the old man had at least 1,500 in his hands.
call.....
I still remember the shocked look on my wife's face when we discussed this. I couldn't help but admire her!
