The end of the year is approaching. Although she is separated from her mother and daughter, it is also her first year in this time and space. Su Xia started preparing for the new year a few days in advance.
Su Xia first took out 20 kilograms of lard from the space and started to boil lard.
I had about 100 kilograms of pork fat stored in my space, so I could use that first.
Su Xia thought she would not be short of oil in the next few years.
Wash the iron pot, put all the chopped pork fat into the pot, add some water, remove the floating foam after boiling, and start to cook.
Then take out a piece of pork with more lean meat and less fat, about 2 pounds, and also take out 2 pounds of beef, also with more lean meat and less fat.
He also took out the leeks and shrimps he had stored from the space.
Su Xia prepared three kinds of fillings, one with pork and cabbage, one with beef and green onions, and a vegetarian one with leeks, eggs and shrimp.
At this time, the lard in the pot also emitted bursts of aroma. Su Xia used a spatula to turn it over to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
As the temperature in the pot rises, the water evaporates and the fat slowly separates out.
"mother...
Mom, can I help light the fire?"
Niu Niu came to play, smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen, and saw a pile of meat in the pot. 늀 couldn't sit still anymore and ran over.
A pair of big, bright eyes stared straight at the meat in the pot. Although he didn't drool, Su Xia could still tell from his greedy look.
"Go and wait by the side,"
"The oil that mom cooked today will pop out and burn your little face into blisters. You'll be disfigured."
"It will be ready in a while. Mother will give you some sugar mixed with oil residue."
Su Xia didn't dare let the kid come over. If he really got burned, he would definitely cry and make a fuss, and she would be too tired to comfort the child.
"Oh, okay, then don't forget it, mother."
Niu Niu was not captured alive either. She was used to her mother's mode of raising children by coaxing and scaring.
I carried a small stool and ran to the door between the living room and the kitchen. I sat down, looking at my mother in the kitchen while playing with the Rubik's Cube in my hand.
Su Xia looked at the little supervisor with a twitching mouth. This child's mind was like that of a sunflower, full of mischief.
The oil will boil quickly in a moment. There was a crackling sound in the pot, and then there was a burst of meaty aroma.
"Mom, it smells so good. When can we have it?" Niu Niu sniffed the meaty aroma in the air with her little nose.
"Wait a little longer. We don't need your meat. Why are you so greedy?"
Su Xia was also speechless at the little brat's greedy look.
"Mom, you are wrong. Who doesn't crave meat? Besides, if Niuniu doesn't eat more, how can she grow meat? If she doesn't grow some meat, how can I keep your bed warm?"
Niuniu explained the situation to her mother in a serious manner and refused to admit that she was craving for meat.
"My son! You have so many crooked ideas, one after another."
Su Xia went up and pinched Niuniu's little face, which felt really good.
It was boiled for about half an hour until the oil residue in the pot shrunk to the size of a fingernail and each one was golden yellow.
Su Xia took out the colander and scooped up all the oil residue.
Take out a small bowl and put some oil residue in it, not much, at least ten pieces, and put in a little sugar and stir it.
When the oil residue in the bowl was no longer hot, he gave the bowl to Niu Niu.
"Take it and eat it in the living room. Remember, don't eat too much, or you'll have a stomachache."
"Mom, you are the best. Don't worry, Niuniu will definitely follow your orders."
I took the small bowl and ran back to the living room, sat on the carpet next to the coal stove, and ate them one by one with my little hands. They were crispy and a little sweet, and really delicious!
Su Xia didn't care about her. This child was very easy to worry about.
There is so much work to do and I am very busy.
The lard can was taken out and all the lard in the pot was scooped up, and the pot was soon filled.
Su Xia took out another lard can and scooped up more. By the time all the lard in the pot had been scooped out, the can was now full.
This jar of lard is placed on the countertop for consumption whenever needed, and the other full jar is placed in the cupboard.
The iron pan was not cleaned, and it would be a waste to clean it with oil. Su Xia took out a tomato, cut it into small pieces and put it into the pan.
The tomatoes in the space consume the most energy, but don't worry, you can plant a garden in the spring.
When the tomatoes are soft, add some water and start to boil.
Su Xia scooped half a bowl of noodles, slowly, gradually added a little water and stirred it into small lumps, poured the boiling water into the pot, then added salt, MSG, chopped green onions, and the last drop of flavor.
A pot of delicious dumplings is ready. Let’s keep it simple for lunch for the mother and daughter.
"Niuniu, come here and wash your hands. It's time to eat."
Su Xiasheng put it on the dining table to dry.
When Niu Niu heard that she was going to eat, she became very active. She washed her hands, climbed onto the stool and sat up.
Su Xia cut two more salted duck eggs, sat down and started eating.
"It's hot... just let it cool down and eat it slowly, okay?"
Niu Niu puffed out her cheeks and blew air while nodding.
Su Xia didn't make much, so they would finish eating it soon and make something delicious in the evening.
After eating, Niu Niu played for a while and then ran back to the bedroom to sleep.
Su Xia covered him with a quilt, and when he woke up, he found his toys to play with, then went back to the kitchen and started to get busy.
First take out the meat grinder and grind the pork and beef. Put them in two bowls.
Also chop the cabbage and green onions and don't put them in.
I minced the shrimps a little and put them in a bowl. I had to chop the leeks manually and then fried a few eggs and put them in.
Su Xia looked at the large pot of stuffing in front of her, feeling very fulfilled. It was enough for the whole first month of the year.
Put it in the space first and take it out when you want to eat it.
Then Su Xia took out the mutton that the "ATM" had sent back and cut it into thin slices, about a pound in weight.
I took out the beef and cut it into thin slices. How could there be no beef in the hot pot in the evening?
What else did Wanzi eat? He prepared a plate of crab sticks, lucky bags, shrimp balls, beef balls, fish balls...
Some green vegetables, spinach, chrysanthemum, vermicelli, fungus, sweet potato, etc.
After all the meat dishes are ready.
Su Xia took out the copper pot and charcoal. It was like a treasure chest. Everything she wanted was there.
Light the charcoal first, and you can eat it when it turns red.
Put the red-hot charcoal at the bottom of the copper pot, add water into the copper pot, and after the water boils, pour in the hot pot base. Considering that Niu Niu is still young, Su Xia put in tomato base.
Su Xia made herself a spicy dipping sauce, Niuniu's sesame sauce with a little soup would be fine.
He took out two drinks, his own Coke and the kid's juice.
After everything was set on the table, I called Niu Niu to come over for dinner.
"Mom, why is this raw? Do you want your daughter to eat raw meat?"
"Mom, if you don't give me a beating, Niuniu will make you angry."
Niu Niu looked at the table full of red meat and green vegetables, which looked raw no matter how she looked at them. She looked at her mother with suspicion.
Su Xia rolled her eyes gracefully, feeling sure that this kid Kendi was a little too spoiled.
"What's raw? Don't you see there's a pot?"
Add meatballs, shrimp paste, and vegetables to the pot.
After the meat is cooked through several times, it is placed in Niu Niu’s small bowl.
“Eat it!”
Niu Niu looked at the darkened meat and started to eat it with confidence. Then she ate it in one bite in surprise, while urging Su Xia to eat it faster.
The hotpot meal lasted an hour and half was still left. Su Xia did not clean it up and just left it there so that the kitchen would not be damaged overnight.
I played with Niu Niu in the living room for a while, and then went to bed when the time was almost up.
