Chapter 87

"Oh, today is the 24th of Dongyue. In reality, this day is Christmas Eve in the last month of the year. Let's just celebrate Christmas." An Li woke up early in the morning and saw the date. Just full of motivation.

Walking out of the house, there are sporadic snowflakes outside, which is really suitable for the occasion.

An Li caught the snowflakes with her hands, and it looked like tomorrow the whole land would be covered with snow.

After feeding the livestock, An Li bought a small pine tree from the decoration store, which was very pleasing to the eye.Then put the pine tree in the most prominent place in the middle of the yard, so that people can see it at the first sight when they come in.

After browsing the trading center again, he found that there were actually small colored balls and ribbons for sale. Anli roughly figured out how much he would need to decorate the Christmas tree and bought similar materials.

Hang the colored balls and ribbons on the Christmas tree, and put a super big golden five-pointed star on the top of the tree, and the Christmas tree is ready.

After looking around, I found that there were still some small gift boxes missing. An Li bought a dozen more gift boxes, put sugar, fruit and other small things in the boxes, and hung them on the tree one by one.

"OK, you're done! 22, how's it going, isn't it pretty?"

【Hmm...it looks okay~】

"Okay, I'm going to pick some strawberries, buy a handful of bananas, and make little snowman candied haws. Luo Li and Xiao Ning will definitely like it." An Li smiled and carried the small basket to pick strawberries.

"Morning, Sister An Li! What are you doing here?" Luo Li was walking towards the creek with his fishing rod in his hand, and greeted An Li when he met her.

"Morning, Luo Li! I'm going to pick some strawberries and make a delicious snack. You and Xiao Ning are lucky~" An Li also returned to Luo Li with a smile.

"Snacks? What are they? Are they delicious?" Luo Li immediately became energetic when he heard that there were snacks that he had never eaten before.

An Li waved his hand to him, smiled mysteriously and left. Tu Luluo Li was itching and wondering what delicious food An Li was going to make. Now he lost interest in fishing and turned back to find Xiao Ning. .

After filling the small basket she was holding, An Li went home.

Walking on the road, she thought about whether to eat hot pot tonight, roast a chicken, and fry some crispy meat.Well, that's it.

To eat hot pot, you need pot ingredients, and you need to prepare clear soup and spicy soup. Lady Lanhua can't eat spicy food, so let her cook mutton soup as a base.

Put the lamb spine into the pot with cold water, skim off the floating powder, add green onion, ginger and garlic, add salt and cook slowly over low heat to bring out the umami taste of the lamb!
After a day of cooking, the soup will become an old soup, and the taste will be good.

Butter is used for spicy ingredients.An Li searched the trading center for a long time before finding someone selling butter, thinking that she might need it in the future, she bought more.

First cut all kinds of dried chilies into sections, then pour some water into them and cook them until they are chopped into chili puree.

Crush the spices such as star anise, Chinese prickly ash, fragrant leaves, etc., pour them into a bowl filled with wine and stir well.

Cut the butter into pieces and throw it into the pot, pour a little water, add the onions and shallots, stir fry the oil, and then take out the residue.

Pour in the various seasonings that have just been prepared one by one, stir-fry to taste, turn off the heat and let it cool down before use.

I grabbed a half-sized chick from the chicken coop, cleaned it up, and scratched the surface a few times.Take a big pot, pour some cooking wine, soy sauce, a head of garlic into it, a little sugar and salt, and put some homemade miso.Once blended, spread the whole chicken inside and out with the homemade sauce, then cover and set aside to let the flavors infuse.

Two days ago, a whole pig was killed, and Anli cut some pork tenderloins.Pat the meat with the back of a knife for a while to soften it, then cut it into small strips and place it in a small basin.Pour in soy sauce and cooking wine to marinate.

Beat an egg and mix in the starch, then pour the marinated tenderloin into the prepared starch.Dip all the meat in the batter and pour it into the already heated oil to fry until cooked. The short crispy pork is ready.

Put the marinated whole chicken on the special fork for roasting chicken in the oven, brush the remaining sauce on the chicken with a small brush, put it in the oven and start roasting.

In another pot, pour sugar and a little water to boil the syrup.An Li washed the strawberries and cut off the heads and tails, and cut the bananas into small pieces.

Put a banana in the middle of the strawberry, then fix it with a toothpick, and then use black sesame seeds to dot the eyes and mouth on it.After the syrup is boiled, put the finished fruit into the syrup and roll it around, and then put it on the plate brushed with oil.

Sprinkle a layer of ice crumbs on the inside of the plate and let the sugar solidify on the outside. After solidification, it will be a snowman candied haws.

The preparations were almost done, An Li went out to pick vegetables, cut up the tripe and meat, and asked Luo Li to call Uncle Jin's family over for dinner.

"Oh, what kind of tree is this? It's so gaudy and so beautiful." Uncle Jin's loud voice came from outside the yard.

"Uncle, here you are! This is called a Christmas tree. Today is a festival in my hometown called Christmas. I had nothing to do so I made a tree to suit the occasion." An Li introduced to them.

"Xiao Ning, Luo Li. There are small gifts in the small box inside the Christmas tree, go and take a look."

"Wow, presents?" Xiao Ning and Luo Li happily ran under the Christmas tree and began to unwrap presents.

An Li greeted Uncle Jin and Aunt Lan Hua into the house, and then she dug out a jar of wine from the field next to the mushroom house.

"Here, uncle. This is the best girl's red! I bought it in the summer and kept it hidden for a long time. Would you like to try it?" An Li handed it to Uncle Jin, and seeing that Uncle Jin heard the word "best" immediately regained his energy , drink and drink by yourself.

Aunt Lan Hua didn't care about him helping An Li with cooking, so An Li took out a big copper pot with mandarin ducks, lit a fire in the yard and sat the pot on it.

Clear soup and spicy soup are on each side, and various dishes are placed on the small table next to it, calling everyone to eat.

"Oh, this way of eating is so fresh! It's so refreshing to eat this hot pot on a snowy day." Uncle Jin likes spicy food, and he ate it with An Li's condiments.

Xiao Ning and Luo Li also opened all the gift boxes. Although there was nothing special inside, the anticipation of opening the gifts made them very happy.

"Sister An Li, what's this called? Wow, Ah Li, this is so spicy, but I can't help but want to eat it." Xiao Ning breathed out the spicy food, but at the same time couldn't help but want to eat it.

"This is called hot pot. I always eat this in winter in my hometown. It's delicious." An Li looked at Xiao Ning's red mouth, and hurriedly poured juice for her.

"Aunt Lanhua, how do you like this clear soup? Does it taste good?" An Li turned around and asked Aunt Lanhua.

"Well, the soup is very fresh. The ingredients in the soup are authentic, and the mutton is all boiled, so you have a heart." Aunt Lanhua praised today's clear soup pot in various ways.

An Li grinned as she watched several people feasting, and went into the kitchen to bring out the grilled chicken for everyone to take apart the chicken and eat it by themselves.

A group of people are laughing and laughing sitting around the fire, eating hot hot pot, the outside is cold, but the heart is warm.

Xiao Ning and Luo Li were overwhelmed by eating too much, An Li gave them the solidified snowman candied haws.

"Here, the snack I mentioned this morning. Let's have a taste."

"Wow, this is a snowman? So cute, Miss An Li, you are so skillful." The little girl always has no resistance to cute things.

"Sweet and sour, so delicious." Luo Li happily ate each bite.

"Well, let's just have it as dessert after the meal!" An Li also picked it up and ate it in one bite, feeling that the sugar was almost sweet to his heart.

In this way, the first Christmas Eve in "Life" ended like this.

　Happy Christmas Eve, my dear fans~
