Farmer’s Blessed Girl

After thinking about it, he said, "But if you can buy beef, you can take a piece back. I'll chop it up and make it for you, or make it into a sauce and bring it to the palace to eat. It's better than mutton."

The eyes of the three of them were bright, and Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang Baba and said, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow on duty."

Bai Shan said, "I'll go find Yin or."

Bai Erlang: "I'm going too, I'm going too!"

The three of them stood at the door of the kitchen and spent a quarter of an hour, and finally left under the repeated urging of Xiao Qian.

Daji had already handed over their belongings to the servants to take back. Seeing them running back in a hurry, he couldn't help but glance at the kitchen.

The three washed and changed their clothes as quickly as possible, and then ran to the kitchen of the West First Courtyard in unison.

Xiao Qian was just opening the steamer. She tried to poke a piece of meat with her chopsticks, making sure that it was soft and rotten, so she wrapped her hands in a cloth and took out a bowl for them, and then stopped the fire and let it taste slowly.

She put the steamed meat on a small table in the kitchen and let them sit on the small stools to eat, and said with a smile: "This is not the best time to eat, let it slowly suffocate and wait. It's still hot when you eat dinner, and the steamed meat that comes out at that time is the best."

The three nodded in unison, and Bai Shan took three pairs of chopsticks from the side to give them a pair, then looked at Xiao Qian and asked, "Sister-in-law, would you like to eat with us?"

Xiao Qian shook his head with a smile, and said, "You guys can eat, I'll eat it at night."

He looked at the sky outside again, and then said, "Eat quickly, they will be back after Lixue."

Man Bao stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of steamed pork first, followed by Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. While eating, the two of them thought, Li Xue is really pitiful, that is the real son of the eldest sister-in-law.

Seeing that they were eating with bright eyes, Xiao Qian was also very happy, and said to the three of them, "After dinner in the evening, I will take out three bowls and freeze them outside the house. Try to see if you can bring them into the palace to eat, isn't it? Do you also have a stove in the palace?"

Man Bao said while eating: "Sister-in-law, we are on the seventh day of the seventh day of the holiday. These are definitely not enough for the family to eat."

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "Then I will do it again when you are about to enter the palace, but the meat is expensive for the New Year..."

Bai Shan waved his hand vigorously and said, "Let's find a way about the meat, sister-in-law doesn't have to worry."

There is not much for the three to share a bowl of steamed meat, that is, three pieces per person. They not only finished the steamed meat, but also finished the white radish under the steamed meat.

The three of them were still a little unfinished, but Xiao Qian said, "Let's eat dinner with a belly. We will have dinner together. Aunt Rong is already cooking. I'll go over and help in a while."

And then Mrs. Liu, who couldn't wait for her grandson to come over from the East Courtyard, smelled the faint fragrance in the air, and smiled, "This child must have gone to the West Courtyard to eat meat."

Not to mention, even Zheng Shi was a little greedy.

She said: "We are far away from here. The servants who came back said that the streets near the west courtyard are full of the smell of meat. There are already several houses wandering by the side door today."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "This is a good idea, doesn't the Zhou family know what gifts to give to the neighbors? It's not good if it's too heavy, it's not good if it's too light, just give something made by yourself. It's over."

Xiao Qian's craftsmanship is not very delicate, at least the color is better than the chef's, but the dishes she cooks have a unique taste, which makes people want to eat them, and they feel that the taste is just right.

Even Mrs. Liu has seen Xiao Qian teach Aunt Rong to make meatballs, but it is obviously the same meat, the same flour, and the same steps, but the meatballs made are two different flavors.

What Xiao Qian's made is to be more tender and more vigorous.

This year is the first time for the three families to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Beijing. In addition, there are many family members of Lao Zhou, so they prepared a lot of good things.

As early as before and after the heavy snowfall, Xiao Qian started to prepare the New Year's goods.

They smoked bacon and sausages in Zhuangzi, and also made a lot of jar meat and jar fish. After the new year, she even made meatballs at Zhou's house...

Even Aunt Rong was hooked by her to show off her housekeeping skills. The two brought the people in the kitchen and the concubine of the old Zhou family to cook a lot of delicious food.

It can be said that the most important thing in Zhou's house now is food.

Although the three families do not need to prepare these delicacies in advance, they can eat ready-made food, but Mrs. Liu still expressed her support.

It's enough to see these kids excitedly walking around the kitchen every day.

When the sun was about to go down, the old Zhoutou and the Qian family came back with their children and grandchildren. When they saw the old Zhoutou Manbao, they were overjoyed and said to her: "The restaurant is closed, we will put everything in the restaurant. After you pack up, you can go out and play tomorrow, where do you want to play?"

Man Bao looked regretful, "Father, I'm going to be on duty in the palace tomorrow."

Old Zhoutou was not disappointed, and asked with a smile, "It's okay, then let's go play later?"

Man Bao nodded hesitantly, "If I'm not very sleepy and can get up."

Qian stopped Lao Zhoutou and asked Man Bao, "How many days are you going to be on duty?"

"I will be on duty tomorrow and on the 30th day."

Qian shi frowned slightly, "Are you still on duty that night at 30?"

Old Zhoutou was also a little unhappy, it was the Chinese New Year.

Man Bao sighed and said, "Doctor Liu said that our Xiao Yuanzheng has not been home for the Chinese New Year for six years, and he is on duty every 30 years."

When Old Zhou Tou heard this, he felt a little sympathetic, "Six years? The last time I saw Xiao Yuanzheng is not too young, do you have a grandson?"

Man Bao nodded, "Yes, seems to be six or seven years old?"

Old Zhoutou didn't feel that it was wrong for his daughter to be on duty once at 30. He sighed: "Then go, this is because my grandson hasn't spent the New Year together since he was born."

very pitiful.

Qian Shi glanced at Lao Zhoutou and said to Man Bao, "Tell your mother what you can bring into the palace, and then I will ask your sister-in-law to make something for you to bring, and you can eat it when you are on duty at night."

Man Bao swallowed and said, "Steamed meat?"

Qian Shi smiled and clicked her nose, "If you are greedy, you can eat it at night. Your sister-in-law does a lot. You can eat it for two days in a row. Why take it to the palace?"

That's what he said, but Qian shi also agreed.

In the evening, everyone ate together. Because of the large number of people, there were three tables. The younger Man Bao sat at a table, and Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu, the old Zhoutou, waited for a table.

He also misses Xiao Qian's craftsmanship, especially this steamed meat that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Because Mr. Zhuang is Man Bao's husband, he is the only one who can give away a bowl of steamed meat at their house. Even the Bai family does not have this honor. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang can only follow Man Bao to Lao Zhou's house. eat.

See you tomorrow
