Jinxiu Nanzhi, determined to be the richest woman

The old man at home came out anxiously, "What happened? Why did you come back so late?"

The two brothers looked at each other, "Mom, let's put the things down and go in to explain it to you in detail!" Yu Jialiang raised his head and said.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, I'm going to cook something!" Guan Qingyu said to her mother-in-law.

"Go, go, go!" Mrs. Yu hurriedly said when she heard that she hadn't eaten yet, and she was even more worried. If she went to the Xu family in town and didn't come back until now, she wouldn't have eaten yet!

Entering the house, it was warm inside.

"What the hell happened? Why is it so late and you don't find anyone to send a message!"

Yu Jiaheng looked at Yu Jialiang, and finally told what happened today as he said on the road.

"What? Twilight and Xiao Pan were kidnapped?"

"Yes, we looked back and forth, but unexpectedly we met each other. Moreover, the kidnappers hired many people to come over. As soon as the people rushed over, when they saw clearly, Twilight and Xiaopan were taken away. !”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yu held Yu Muyun harder.

"What happened in the end? Did the reporting officer catch him?"

"I caught a few, but one of them seems to have escaped. I don't know if he has been caught again!" Yu Jiaheng sat by the charcoal pot to warm himself.

"As long as everyone is safe!"

"You two, if it weren't for Twilight's cleverness, you would still be searching everywhere now! You are fine now. If something happened to the two little ones, you two brothers would have no shame in coming back to see your aunt, mother!" Uncle Yu Look at the two of them.

"Yes, Twilight is clever!"

The two of them were also scared and hurriedly responded.

"The noodles are ready, come and eat!" Xu Xin and Guan Qingyu were busy together. They just needed a few bowls of noodles. They were all clear soup noodles, with some salt and a few vegetables. Maybe they added some leftover pigs at home. Oil, there are still oil flowers floating in the bowl.

"Eat quickly and rest after eating, every day!"

A few people didn't speak, just nodded, holding bowls, and slurped down the noodles.

After hearing what they had experienced in the town, the Yu family was glad that they had returned well, but they were still a little scared. The new year's goods were still a bit short, so they could only wait until brothers Yu Jiaheng and Yu Jialiang went together tomorrow. The daughter-in-law at home took stock and returned the goods. I’ll tell you what’s wrong, just go buy it tomorrow.

The family packed up and went to bed.

The next day, the Yu family got up early. In the twelfth lunar month, there were many things that needed to be prepared.

After taking some time off from the weaving work, I began to prepare some cakes, candies, etc. for the Chinese New Year. I also had to prepare some dry goods.

Yu Jiaheng and Yu Jialiang received the list of new year's goods to be supplemented today, took the money and went to town.

And Mr. Yu took his wife to the village to buy meat. They were all pig-raisers in the village. They only had one or two pigs every year. If they were well-raised, they would keep some for themselves and sell some. Even in times of famine, all the pigs in the village could be raised. fine.

Uncle Yu and Mrs. Yu were at home, preparing cakes, cakes, sugar cakes, and fried rice popsicles with several wives. Fried rice popsicles are what Uncle Yu is good at. The fried rice popsicles are white, plump, sweet, and crispy.

Although the Yu family lives separately, the Yu family spends every New Year's Eve together. They help together and eat at the same table together, which is very lively!

The courtyard was filled with the noise of children. In his previous life, he would go out to work even during the Chinese New Year. Yu Muyun rarely celebrated the Chinese New Year, and he didn’t even know what he needed to do. So for the first year of the Yu family’s New Year, he Yu Muyun was looking forward to it. Whatever the adults did, they would surround him and not help him. It was also a pleasure to just watch.

"Twilight, the roasted sweet potato is ready!" Yu Tianqing came over holding a sweet potato that had been roasted black on the outside. Because it was hot, he was tossing it back and forth with his hands.

"You kid, it's so hot and it's still covered in ashes. How can you ask my sister to take it?" Xu Xin looked up.

"I want it!" Yu Muyun had eaten roasted sweet potatoes before, but never had them roasted this way, so he reached out to take them.

Yu Tianqing freed his hands, smiled and looked at Yu Muyun.

The sweet potatoes on my hands were hot, so I didn't care so much. I peeled them off and took a small bite. It was indeed very hot on my teeth.

The children in the courtyard were playing around, and except for the older children, they all turned into little tabby cats. They were black here and there, but they were all happy.

"Hey! Look, they are all little tabby cats!" Mrs. Yu said with a smile.

"I told you, it's all ashes! Isn't it all over your face? Why don't you get up quickly to fetch water for your younger brothers and sisters to wash their faces and hands!" Xu Xin looked at the older ones, then at the younger ones. , I couldn’t help but feel funny.

Yu Muyun was stained with dust, but it wasn't that serious.

As the eldest brother, Yu Baiqing took the lead to fetch water, mixed it with hot water, and cleaned the younger siblings.

I make my own maltose at home. There are some in town, but the price is relatively expensive, so I make it myself so that rice krispie treats can also be used. There are many children in the family. In previous years, the maltose is made after the Chinese New Year to early summer. They finish eating within a short period of time. It is also the adults who control the children and do not let them eat too much, otherwise they will not be finished until early summer and spring.

Uncle Yu woke up early and began to boil maltose. He had already taken off the heat and placed it on the ground. It was cold and it became stiff after a while. He picked some of the maltose with a bamboo skewer and passed it through their mouths.

Before noon, Yu Jiaheng and his wife came back from the town. They bought a lot of things, most of which were food, as well as pork bones and fish. Some bones did not contain meat and were basically sold at low prices. The bones with meat will be more expensive. The fish are caught from the lake and sold, and the price is not high. The chickens and ducks are basically not handled by the family, so they have been bled and feathered.

It snowed a few days ago, so I stored some meat in a deep cellar. These meats will be used on the New Year's Day, so I put them in the cellar as soon as I came back. In previous winters, the meat was always stored in the cellar. Yes, it's cold, but it would be better if there was ice and snow inside.

Yu Sanye and his wife, who were buying meat in the village, also came back. They took several parts of meat suitable for different cooking methods, and two pig's trotters. The price of those without pork knuckles is often more expensive than that of pig's trotters. There are plenty of them, both fat and thin. When stewed with spices, everyone likes them.

I didn't want to buy pig's trotters at first, but I asked Yu Muyun and he said he wanted pig's trotters, so he bought two of them.

If the pig's trotters are not eaten, the meat is processed and used to make sausages. Some of the bacon was bought earlier and has been dried, and some of it is smoked and hung in the kitchen.

Several daughters-in-law worked together and quickly cut the meat and marinated it. Some of it was kept in the cellar to eat during the New Year. The remaining fat and lean pieces were mixed together and marinated before being poured into the casings. , and then the exhaust is dried, and it is also hung under the eaves in a place with little sunlight.

I don’t like sausages that are too dry, so my family usually makes sausages later in the day, so that they can be dried until the end of the year. The texture of the sausages will be just right, so I can keep some for myself and give them out as gifts during the Chinese New Year, and the time will be better then. suitable.
