Lu Miao had two dollars in his pocket, which were fine.
Originally, it was planned to be given to Minjie, but it turned out that Brother He’s child was not included in the calculation. It was not good to give it to this one but not to that one, so she did not take it out.
I just want to wait until I get back to giving out the lucky money during the New Year.
The west threshing floor was busy. Chen Guifen came back first carrying a heavy piece of meat.
He is fat and thin, weighing five or six pounds.
As soon as he entered the house, he shouted:
"The position is arranged well this year. When it was our turn, we just pulled the pig's belly. Look at the fat, it is fatter than in previous years!"
Chen Guifen couldn't help but smile.
Lu Miao looked at the meat in her hand and saw that it should be pork belly. The color was indeed quite beautiful.
Chen Guifen carried the meat into the kitchen and then worked in the kitchen.
Tian Guihua put a bamboo cover on the brazier, and then asked Minmin to lead Minjie to play. She got up and went to the kitchen to help.
Lu Miao was too embarrassed to sit still, so she followed him to the kitchen.
Chen Guifen picked out the fat part of the meat, cut off parts as big as the palms of her two hands and chopped them into fillings.
Tian Guihua came in looking for work, and Chen Guifen asked her to pick out a dozen carrots and melon rinds and wash them out.
Lu Miao also came in looking for work. Chen Guifen looked around and said:
"Miao girl, then you can pick onions. Pick out the handfuls at the foot of the table."
"Hey."
Lu Miao responded and sat on the small bench to pick onions. .
Tian Guihua walked out and walked in and passed by her to wash radishes and pour swill. She looked at her a few times and finally couldn't help but said:
"Mom, I always watch her talking to the little girl. How about a child? ”
Chen Guifen laughed, "He is a child, and his temper is the same as that of a child."
Lu Miao pouted and just listened without interrupting.
On the two days when she was hospitalized, two production teams dug lotus roots, and each household shared some. After Tian Guihua washed the radishes, Chen Guifen asked her to wash two more lotus roots.
Chen Guifen chopped the stuffing quickly with her hands and feet, shoveled the stuffing into the large vegetable washing basin with a kitchen knife, then turned to pick up the carrots and quickly diced them, and then the lotus roots...
Zhi After preparing the diced carrots, lotus roots, and meat fillings, she scooped two solid bowls of flour into the basin.
This is the Chinese New Year, and I usually would be reluctant to mess around like this.
Chen Guifen cut a handful of green onions and sprinkled them into a basin, adding an appropriate amount of salt.
After mixing for a while, slowly add water and continue mixing until it becomes a paste. Stop when it almost forms a ball.
Reluctant to waste the flour paste on her hands, Chen Guifen asked Tian Guihua to pour rapeseed oil into the pot.
The oil is newly squeezed this year. From dozens of kilograms of rapeseed, twelve kilograms of oil are produced.
These oils were still raw and had not been refined before they were brought back. Chen Guifen waited for this day and finished them in one go.
Pour all twelve pounds into the pot, and the oil surface will touch the waistline of the iron pot by about two inches.
Fire the sweet-scented osmanthus on the fire, and after the oil is warm, Chen Guifen sets up a basin and an iron ladle on one side, grabs the paste with one hand and shapes it into a round shape, and scoops it into the pot with a spoon.
The meat stuffing Chen Guifen added was fatter and thinner. Lu Miao originally thought it would be very greasy, but when the first pot was fried, Chen Guifen shouted to them to take it and eat it first.
She took one and tasted it. Maybe she hadn’t eaten anything good in half a year. She was a little surprised by the taste of the fried dumplings.
Fragrant, really fragrant.
The outside of the dumplings is crispy, but the meat filling takes up a minority, and the fat only occupies a part of the meat filling.
There is also a fusion of diced carrots and lotus root, which perfectly relieves the greasiness and makes it crispy when chewed. The taste of the lotus root is particularly unique, but it does not overwhelm the flavor of the meat.
Very fragrant and delicious.
Lu Miao ate several in a row and felt a little embarrassed.
This is what Chen Guifen fried for the New Year. She has to eat it for several days during the Chinese New Year, and there are so many people.
Lu Miao wiped her hands and stopped eating. Chen Guifen looked at her with a smile, "Are you full now?"
Lu Miao pursed her lips, embarrassed to speak.
Chen Guifen brought her a separate bowl and a separate bowl of fried balls for her.
Lu Miao was too embarrassed to answer. If she did, she would be greedier than Minmin and Minjie. That would be too much, right?
Chen Guifen forced it on her and said:
"Take it! You are in a special situation now. You usually eat like a cat licking food. It's rare to find someone who likes you. How much? It won’t bother you if you take a few bites.”
The dumplings contain both meat and vegetables, and there is enough oil and water for deep-frying.
Lu Miao pursed her lips and held up the bowl with a dry smile:
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Chen Guifen laughed and shook her head.
The threshing floor was busy dividing the meat from morning to three or four in the afternoon.
In the back, the male educated youth and several young men from the team were busy cleaning up the place. He Hongjin and his party returned home together with the horse scorer.
He Hongjin and scorekeeper Ma were keeping accounts and reconciling accounts in the main room, calculating how much money was left in the team's public accounts.
Fu Jingyou took the meat he bought to the kitchen.
The kitchen was too small to squeeze in so many people, so Brother He and Brother He sat in the main room and listened to He Hongjin and Mark Scorer chatting.
Minmin touched the braid and rubbed it in Brother He's arms, "Dad, aunt made the braid."
Brother He picked up Minmin and said with a smile:
< br>“Okay, our eldest daughter is really energetic and beautiful.”
On the other side of the kitchen, when Chen Guifen saw the meat bought by Fu Jingyou, she opened her mouth and cursed:
"What the hell did you buy? Except for that small piece of suet, I'm afraid you picked up everything that others don't want." ”
What did Fu Jingyou buy?
He basically rounded the big stick bones of the two pigs.
Because Lu Miao said she likes to drink.
Then there is the lean meat, so thin that no trace of fat can be seen.
At this time, oil and water are hard to come by. Everyone queues up to sell meat, and they all want to buy the fat part. The fat meat and skin can be boiled back to produce some oil.
Chen Guifen looked at the meat Fu Jingyou bought and her eyes were filled with darkness.
Buying meat in the team costs the same as buying meat outside, but there are no tickets. How good is this?
If you don’t rush to buy something good, what kind of thing do you buy?
"Are you blind with a hole in your eye, or did that ghost from Fengcang fool you? He's already fooling his own family, you brat!"
Fu Jingyou touched the back of his head. He was being scolded honestly. , I saw Chen Guifen taking off her clothes and going out to curse people. , he quickly hung up the meat and stick bones, and explained:
“Aunt, these are what Miaomiao likes to eat. She likes to drink bone soup, and she can’t eat meat that is too fat. I’ll stay here. It took a long time to grab the stick bones.”
The stick bones really have to be grabbed.
Because they couldn’t sell it at a high price, there were some poor families in the team who were all staring at it.
As for lean meat, other meats cost 70 cents per catty. No one wanted the few kilograms of lean meat left on the chopping board. Fu Jingyou gave it to Bao Yuaner, and the calculation was 50 cents per catty.
It’s okay, not too bad.
Chen Guifen turned to look at Lu Miao.
Lu Miao's little mouth was oily, and she nodded as she pecked the rice, confirming that Fu Jingyou was telling the truth.
Chen Guifen sighed and stopped nagging Fu Jingyou.
Chen Guifen said to Lu Miao:
"Since you love to eat, you have to eat it if you buy it! Don't buy it and not eat it. You can't waste it, but it's a loss!"
"I know it. Aunt."(End of this chapter)
