Chapter 208: Money Not Spent in Waste
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the mother and her two children cancelled their visit.
Other families are different from theirs.
Raising a family is a "battle".
With Liu Qingqing as an "insider of the supply and marketing cooperative", neighbors basically don't have to queue up to buy food and drinks anymore.
But these dishes can't be made in a short time.
Foods that are not available at other times will be served on the 30th day of the lunar calendar.
Starting from the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, some families start steaming buns in the hope of a prosperous future.
In addition to steamed buns, there are also sticky bean buns, red bean paste buns, and corn and flour pancakes.
These can be used as gifts when visiting relatives.
Liu Qingqing and her mother also started steaming various buns and steamed buns.
The red beans for the red bean paste filling must be freshly cooked.
Old Lady Liu listened to her daughter pressing the red bean paste and saying, "Red beans in the south..."
It was so sour that even her teeth hurt.
Wuning’s special night meal includes chicken, pork, fish, cabbage, and frozen tofu.
Frozen tofu is not available for sale, so you can only buy fresh tofu and then freeze it yourself.
You can also exchange soybeans for tofu.
Liu Qingqing guessed that it was probably because the weather here was cold, fresh tofu was easily frozen, and gradually frozen tofu became a must-have dish.
Stew Chinese cabbage with tofu and stir-fry some meat, it is very fragrant.
But she passed on this dish.
There are only three people, not counting the younger one.
Wuning’s specialty large-portion dishes may take several days to prepare and be eaten.
Liu Qingqing decided that except for the braised fish, all other dishes should be in small portions; one small plate would be enough.
A total of six dishes are made, which symbolizes good luck.
Qingqing really didn't want to stew the chicken, so she made spicy chicken.
In addition, Old Lady Liu stewed her signature Four-Happiness Meatballs and the stewed pork ribs that her daughter liked to eat.
She just couldn't understand why fat slices of meat weren't more delicious than hard bones?
Seeing that she was still brooding over the fatty slices of meat, Liu Qingqing didn't stop her from making it: "Then, mother, do you want to eat stewed sauerkraut or stewed cabbage?"
Old Lady Liu happily revealed her back teeth: "I'll make the pickled cabbage. I'm a real master at stewing it."
The last two dishes, one is candied sweet potato, the other is garlic vermicelli and cabbage heart, are to relieve the greasiness.
Old Madam Liu scoffed at the idea of relieving greasiness. How could such a small amount of meat and vegetables make her feel sick?
But you underestimate yourself.
And what’s the point of eating that candied sweet potato?
Half of the time I eat sweet potatoes, so all that candy is wasted.
She was not pleased with the dish, but she didn't say it.
Well, the same thing goes, this old woman is not the kind of person who is so tactless.
There are delicious stewed fatty meat slices and a large table of dishes, but how can all of them be what you like?
Besides sweet potato, there are a few more, but they are all vegetables!!!
While the old lady was stewing the food, Liu Qingqing took out the radio.
"Oh my God!" Old Mrs. Liu's iron spoon fell into the pot.
This is such a waste. She knows everything about this big guy. Just by listening to the noise, she needs so much money. What can't she do with it?
Besides, what’s the point of listening to the sound?
If you want to hear her sing, she can sing. She is very good at singing the movie interludes played in the brigade.
Liu Qingqing pulled out the antenna and twisted it for a while. She had never played with this thing before, so she needed to study it more.
Old Mrs. Liu didn't care about the pot anymore and squatted aside to watch her stir.
After a while, the loudspeakers on both sides blared "The East is Red, the Sun is Rising..."
Old Mrs. Liu's eyes were almost blurry. She stood by, listening and humming along. Oh, the money was not wasted, but it was a good thing.
