Chapter 240 Want to go home
After Fang Linwang left, the cook gathered around the leader again.
"Boss, I saw a lot of dumplings from Madam Xia. I think the three of them will definitely not be able to finish them all. Just let us try a few."
" Go, go, even if you can't finish the meal, you have to save the head for them to eat tomorrow," the cook said, "We have worked so hard. We can finally eat something good, but you still want to share some, don’t you have any conscience?”
When the cook said this, the cooks immediately felt ashamed and stopped thinking about eating sour food! As for the cabbage and meat dumplings, I worked hurriedly so that everyone could eat hot and fragrant dumplings early in the evening.
The pork stuffing was chopped quickly, mixed with various seasonings and stirred evenly. Even though a lot of white radish was mixed in, even though it was raw at this time, it still smelled delicious.
It smelled so good that the cook couldn't help but sniff, and even more comforted himself.
With dumplings stuffed with radish and meat that are so fragrant, there is no harm in not eating the dumplings stuffed with sour cabbage.
However, I really want to eat...
This is the instinct of humans as animals.
But then again, he is a human being, and people must control their desires!
Control!
——
Xia Mingyue, Jiang Zhuguo and the Lu family spent New Year’s Eve together.
Cut some of the braised meat into various pieces, make a refreshing spinach mixed with vermicelli, then serve it cold with a change of egg tofu, and finally the highlight of the night - pickled cabbage and meat dumplings.
The dumpling skin is slightly yellowed with salt and eggs, and tastes very chewy and delicious. The pork filling is filled with delicious soup after being cooked because of the addition of pig skin jelly. The acidity of the pickled cabbage is just right. , crispy and delicious, relieving greasiness and appetizing.
It can be said that the more you eat dumplings, the better they become.
Xia Mingyue and others ate with gusto and kept saying that these dumplings tasted good. They could make more dumplings like this during the Chinese New Year.
Dumplings during the Chinese New Year are eaten from the first to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and again on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Eating dumplings so frequently and in large quantities will inevitably make you feel bored.
And such delicious dumplings can definitely break the deadlock and solve everyone's troubles in previous years.
Xia Mingyue also thought it was feasible, but she had wanted to try the taste before, but she didn't buy enough pickled cabbage to make dumplings for the New Year.
It seems like we have to go look for it on the street again.
At Xiaohe Village, Lu Qiyan and others were also eating dumplings.
The dumplings stuffed with radish and meat are filled with enough meat, the radish is wring out enough water, and fried in oil. It tastes very fragrant.
Everyone ate deliciously and found it very enjoyable.
But when he saw the dumplings stuffed with sour cabbage and meat that Lu Qiyan and the other two were eating, he felt that the dumplings in his bowl were not fragrant enough.
Damn it...
I really want to find a lady who is as good at cooking as Madam Xia.
But then again, Lu Dutou is good at martial arts, knows how to use soldiers, and has good looks. Only then did he marry a woman like Madam Xia. They had better not think about it!
It would be great to have a wife. Why do you ask for so much?
Lu Qiyan didn't know what the people below him were thinking at this moment, so he still ate the dumplings in the bowl with relish, occasionally adding a piece of braised pork sent by Xia Mingyue.
What he ate was braised donkey meat, which was fragrant and delicious, but it did not take away the deliciousness of the dumpling itself. On the contrary, when the two were together, they felt even more delicious.
It’s really delicious.
Lu Qiyan squinted his eyes and looked up towards the river not far away.
The construction of the bridge is currently going smoothly, and the soldiers are very active and attentive in their work. In this case, it should be completed a few days earlier than expected in the first month of the year.
I hope I will have time to make two more trips home. There is no other purpose, the main reason is to eat more of her delicious food.
Well, that's it...
Lu Qiyan thought about it in his mind and unconsciously reached out and touched his nose.
Twenty-five, grind tofu, twenty-six, go buy meat...
The New Year is approaching day after day, and every place is gradually getting a new year flavor.
On the 28th, Xia Ji everywhere finished their business on the last day of the year and completely packed up their stalls, preparing to reopen on the 8th day of next year.
Xia Mingyue also led all the workers in the central kitchen to thoroughly clean and tidy up the central kitchen.
After all the work in the afternoon was completed, Xia Mingyue gathered everyone together.
The wages for the twelfth lunar month were paid in advance, each person was given a red envelope for the Chinese New Year, and each person was given a New Year's gift.
Inside the red envelope, there are five small bunches of copper coins, each with a hundred coins. Five hundred coins are heavy enough, so the money is wrapped not in red paper, but in red cloth. After wrapping it, it becomes a big bulging piece, which looks into people's hearts. It's delicious.
For Christmas Day, a bunch of five-spice sausages, a small pot of crispy fish and a pot of braised five-spice dried tofu.
These are all Chinese New Year dishes. They can be used to entertain relatives, and can also be used to worship ancestors on the first day of the new year. They are delicious and very practical.
And these are also quite valuable.
It can be said that Xia Mingyue is very generous and generous.
"This is to thank you all for your hard work at Xia Ji this year. I also hope that you can continue to work with me next year and make this central kitchen better and better!"
Everyone has already treated Xia Mingyue so well on weekdays. Thank you very much. At this time, I am even more grateful. I express my gratitude and express my attitude that I will do a good job and do my best.
The central kitchen is wrapping up the year-end. On the 29th, Xia Mingyue began to bring various foods such as five-spice sausages, crispy fish, five-spice donkey meat, etc. to give out festive gifts everywhere.
First of all, the county school, Aunt Han, Wu Xiong and Shopkeeper Ge are here.
Then there are franchisees everywhere.
Shopkeeper Qian and his wife sell braised food here on weekdays, so they had prepared a lot for this Chinese New Year, so Xia Mingyue only gave them five-spice sausages.
The five-spice sausage was novel and delicious, and it was full of Xia Mingyue’s respect and friendship for everyone. Everyone said a lot of words of thanks.
I started delivering things since morning, almost without stopping, and even with the help of Lu's mother and son, it was already past noon when all the things were delivered.
Xia Mingyue walked back and took a look on the street to see if there were any good-looking Spring Festival couplets, window grilles or anything like that.
These two days are the time to put up Spring Festival couplets, glue window grilles, and hang New Year pictures. Many people set up stalls on the street to sell, and some even sell firecrackers, attracting many children to watch.
This is Xia Mingyue's first New Year after arriving here, and it is also the first time she feels the New Year atmosphere here. At this time, she is very interested in these handmade objects and goes to see them.
When I saw something good-looking, I bought a few and put them in the bamboo basket slung on my arm.
After buying this one, go to the next one to see if you like it...
While Xia Mingyue was happily enjoying shopping, a strong man walked hurriedly on the street. He didn't even look at the road as he walked, and bumped straight into Xia Mingyue.
As for Xiao Nian, in some places it is twenty-three and in other places it is twenty-four. However, Xiao Nian only really gained status in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty even stipulated the time of all festivals, and the twelfth lunar month was on the twenty-fourth day. As the New Year's Eve, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year's Eve, so it is written as the 24th here~
