Chapter 110 Specialties
On the first day of the new year, we get rid of the old and welcome the new.
No one can sleep in, because the sound of firecrackers in the village has been going on continuously since almost four or five o'clock in the morning. Because of the firecrackers that opened the door, after the sound of firecrackers, the ground was covered with red, and the road outside seemed to be covered with a red carpet, which looked very festive.
There are no relatives in the Jiang family to pay New Year greetings. Jiang Feng has to wait until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to go to his grandpa's house to pay New Year greetings. In the past few days, he has just visited every house in the village and chatted a few words. Everyone greets each other and wishes them a happy New Year. When he sees children, Grab a handful of candy or grab some homemade treats.
Eat dumplings in the morning.
The four brothers ate very little, so they were waiting to go to other people's houses to eat and drink while they were waiting for the New Year greetings. There were several families in the village who were pretty good at making snacks, but no one had the skills these days.
So among the younger generations, only Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing can barely be regarded as children, but it doesn't matter, Jiang Feng and his brothers are thick-skinned enough. As long as they eat fast enough during New Year greetings, the other children can't beat them.
The first one to go was next door, the home of Li Cuihua who was trying to kill the pigs.
Li Cuihua's man was an honest and dull man. He was originally from the street office and didn't like to talk much. In addition, he couldn't cook, so he had no sense of presence in the eyes of the Jiang family. The two families were neighbors when they lived in the city, and now that they have moved to the countryside, they are still neighbors. They have been neighbors for so many years and know each other quite well.
Li Cuihua has a son and three daughters. She has known Grandma Jiang for many years. They had a good relationship when they were young, but they have always been at odds with each other, and initially they were competing to get married. The old man is the chef of a state-owned hotel, and the man Li Cuihua works in the street office, so they are both good and bad. Later, when she was competing to give birth to a son, Li Cuihua won the competition over whose son was raised stronger, but the result was that she didn't win.
Li Cuihua felt that her son could not be counted on, so she raised her grandson well. She finally raised her grandson into a big fat boy, but ended up going to college. In order to fall in love and lose weight, she spent more than ten years raising her in vain, completely extinguishing the competition between Li Cuihua and Grandma Jiang. The thought of raising children.
Li Cuihua's mother is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She is good at making dim sum. Li Cuihua also learned a little bit about it. She doesn't know how to make other things. She makes pancakes very well, and they are not bad compared with those sold in the market.
Bangao was the old name, but now it is called Baixiang Xianggao. The raw materials are glutinous rice flour, sugar, orange cake, sesame, caramel, etc. The cooking method is steaming. After steaming, the pancake is as white as paper and the sesame filling tastes sweet. Not greasy, soft and crunchy to the bite. The only bad thing is that they are too soft and fall off easily. In winter, everyone wears thick down jackets, and if you eat two pieces, they will fall off all over.
However, among the younger generations of the Jiang family, only Jiang Feng had this problem. The rest of them just took it all in one piece, and the dregs would not fall on their bodies even if they fell into their mouths.
Grandma Jiang took the lead, and the old man had to stay at home to avoid being empty when others came over to pay New Year greetings. Grandma Jiang was not empty-handed, and brought a bag of dumplings to her old sister Li Cuihua, whom she had loved and killed for so many years.
"Mushroom, cabbage and pork filling, your grandson's favorite." Grandma Jiang gave the dumpling to Li Cuihua.
Li Cuihua took the dumplings and smiled happily: "We will cook them at noon today."
"Hey, where are the five fat boys in your family?" Li Cuihua was puzzled. Her aesthetics have not changed over the years. It turns out that the streets are full of thin people who are not full, and fat people are rare. Fat people have the strength to work. Even if they are not full, fat people are rare. Nowadays, fat people are far less popular than before, but Li Cuihua still likes fat people.
Not to mention that the Jiang family is tall, Jiang Feng is only 1.78 meters tall, and everyone else is about 1.8 meters tall. Except for the juniors who can't eat enough in recent years and look a bit bloated, everyone else is a strong man. !
Even though Jiang Jianguo is a tailor on the surface, he still has to shake the spoon when he goes home to cook for his aunt.
Li Cuihua's favorite is Jiang Jianguo. The reason is very simple. He is tall, big, fat and strong. At first glance, he is a strong laborer.
"The five of them went to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings first, and they will be here later." Grandma Jiang said, "At least you brought dumplings to your house when we came here. You can't even deny me some tea just because my boss didn't come, right? ?”
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? The water is still boiling, otherwise can I not make tea for you? I have already steamed the pancakes. Let your little ones go and eat some first. Let's have a good chat. Chat, when the water is boiled, I will make tea for you. Pu'er, my grandson bought it for me when he went to Yunnan and Guizhou. Hey, it's a big brick of tea!" Li Cuihua showed off.
Grandma Jiang:...
After listening to Li Cuihua's words, Jiang Feng and others ran inside to eat the cake. Zhao Liang (Li Cuihua's grandson) had already eaten it, and the dregs fell on the floor.
Jiang Feng took a closer look and saw that Zhao Liang had indeed lost a lot of weight!
It turns out that Zhao Liang has always been fat, and Li Cuihua feeds her grandson like a stuffed duck. Zhao Liang is not as tall as the children of the Jiang family, and unlike the children of the Jiang family, he is not taken to learn cooking by the old man. He has always been puffy and fat.
When I saw it today, it was completely transformed!
"My dear, Liangzi, how much weight have you lost!" Jiang Ran sighed.
"Not much, just over ten kilograms." Zhao Liang kept talking as he spoke, "Exercise has made the meat firmer and looks thinner. Come on, come on, come and eat. It will be fragrant just out of the pot. Wait until it cools down." It doesn’t have the same taste. My grandma also made it with osmanthus sauce, but I think it tastes a bit strange.”
Jiang Zaide took the lead and wrapped a piece of osmanthus sauce in one bite, chewed it, and commented: "It's okay, but the osmanthus sauce is not very good, and it is not as good as the sesame seeds fried by Grandma Li herself."
"Yes, yes, the sesame seeds stir-fried by Grandma Li are delicious, even sprinkled with maltose." Jiang Shoucheng agreed.
"But do you think the way grandma looked at us last time was weird?" Jiang Zaide asked.
"It's all Xiaofeng's fault. I didn't know how to buy some specialties for grandma when I went to Shu." Jiang Ran blamed it on the spot.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"I didn't buy any specialties. I brought Third Grandpa back. Didn't you buy something for grandma when you went to Chauncey?" Jiang Feng countered.
"Even so, I don't know if I'll buy some tea cakes and come back. Grandma will definitely scold us later when we go out." Jiang Shoucheng said.
Jiang Ran: "...the tea cakes are not from Changxi City, but from Xunyang City."
"How far away is it? You can get there in two hours by train? Xiaofeng finally brought Third Grandpa back. You didn't even bring back any fried rice noodles. You can apologize to grandma when you get out." Jiang Zaide added insult to injury.
Zhao Liang, who was eating melon and watching a show, said:? ? ?
