Rebirth of Boyu

Chapter 21 New Year's Eve

Today is New Year's Eve, Bai Yu's first year after his rebirth, and also the first year he spent with his grandma.

Early in the morning, Bai Yu got up and had breakfast, washed his face, brushed his teeth, put on thermal underwear, put on the red pullover sweater knitted by grandma, put on a hat and scarf, put on a down jacket, and went out with grandma.

Bai Yu and grandma rushed to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.Both Bai Yu and grandma attached great importance to the New Year's Eve dinner in the first year after moving here.

If you haven't been to the vegetable market and see people coming out with vegetables, you don't need to go inside to know that there are many people inside.When we arrived at the vegetable market, it was indeed more lively than before. Following the crowd, Bai Yu took his grandma to the vegetable market. There were slightly fewer people inside than outside. Every vegetable stall was the same, and the dishes were all neatly arranged. A neat pile of old Gao.

Grandma watched from the side, and Bai Yu asked Grandma Liu, "What kind of food do you want to buy?"

Grandma Liu looked at the people coming and going and said, "You look and buy."

Hearing this, Bai Yu first picked two cucumbers with flowers on the top, and prepared to go back and shred them for salad.Passed by a few vegetable stalls.Bai Yu bought half a catty of shiitake mushrooms and a Coprinus comatus, and they can cook mushrooms in a dry pot later in the evening.I went to buy some garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, lentils, celery, and carrots. I walked around the first floor and found some common dishes. There were really no vegetables I wanted to buy on the first floor, so I went to the second floor with my grandma.

When I got to the second floor, I arrived at the place selling cooked fruits and vegetables, and there were piles of fruits on the stall.The baskets filled with oranges, kumquats, dragon fruit and the like are piled up as high as downstairs, which is eye-catching when you look at them.

Bai Yu likes to eat oranges, so he went in and chose two big ones, and bought a few catties of small oranges.I bought a few catties of bananas and grapes that grandma likes to eat.

The two went to the place that sold cold food. There were frozen chicken gizzards, chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken intestines, etc. in the freezer, as well as pig feet and duck legs. There were many types, but they were all frozen.

Bai Yu took a closer look and bought a catty of chicken legs. Both Bai Yu and grandma were unwilling to eat chicken wings and chicken feet. The chicken wings were good, but the price was twice as expensive as the chicken legs.Chicken legs are different, there are cheap ones and good ones.I bought chicken legs and waited until it was ready. Two people and one cat could eat it cleanly.

I bought pork bones and saw people queuing up in front of me. After a closer look, it turned out that they were selling beef and mutton.Bai Yu also ran over and lined up. After waiting for a while, he bought two catties of lamb ribs and weighed two catties of beef.

Seeing that the shopping was almost done, Bai Yu went to buy a bream to make a sweet and sour fish, which is a fixed dish every New Year's Eve.After all the groceries were bought, Bai Yu and his grandma took a taxi back home.

When I arrived at the gate of the community, I saw someone pushing a cart selling couplets.I remembered that I got out of the car and bought two couplets without buying them.These two pairs of couplets are going to be pasted on the door, and for the couplets in the room, Boyu is going to write them himself, saving as much as possible.

It was only after seeing the couplets that Baiyu realized that he didn’t buy other things for the Spring Festival besides vegetables.

After returning home, he put the dishes in the kitchen, drank a glass of water, and then went out to buy fireworks, bamboo window grilles and other essential things for the Chinese New Year. He also weighed some dried fruits such as hazelnuts, walnuts and melon seeds.

Bai Yu knew that after a few years, the province of S would completely ban fireworks and firecrackers.At that time, the Chinese New Year will be deserted, not as lively as it is now.

In the first year when he came from Province S, Boyu still wanted to set off fireworks and have fun. For the sake of the environment, Boyu bought two fireworks and a long firecracker.

Bai Yu returned home with a bunch of things.

It's a bit late to buy these now, but fortunately it's in the morning, and many shops are closed in the afternoon, and I can't buy them even if I want to.

Before Bo Yu celebrated the New Year alone, the New Year's Eve dinner was a meal of dumplings, or the kind that cost five yuan a pack, let alone fireworks, and he never missed it.

When he got home, Bai Yu took out the couplets and window grilles, made a paste with flour, and pasted them on the door finely.

Sticking to the paste, he ran to Su Shaofan's door and pasted a pair of couplets for him.After pasting up the two pairs of couplets he bought, Bai Yu went upstairs to get the brush and ink.Spread out the red paper that was bought and cut, and write down, "Smooth sailing every year, good luck every year, good luck and good luck." Take the key, and take the written couplet, paste this couplet on the door of Su Shaofan's bedroom. It's over.Bai Yu also admired the "Nordic Chinese style?" He laughed as he said it.

After writing and posting all the couplets at home, and it was time to make dinner, Bai Yu ate fried noodles made by grandma in the morning.saute

Pour the oil into the pot, put the pork, stir-fry, add salt and water, wait for the water to boil, put the noodles, cook until soft, spread into cakes, fry on low heat until the water evaporates, turn over once in the middle.When the noodles are golden on both sides, they are ready to serve.

The fried noodles are like a pancake.Fragrant and crispy.Eat it with a creaking sound in your mouth.Bai Yu ate two large bowls in one sitting in the morning.Thinking about the New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Yu purposely restrained himself in the morning, and stopped eating after two bowls.

At noon, I ate shepherd's purse pork dumplings wrapped a few days ago.After wrapping and freeze-drying, take it out of the sieve, pack [-] pieces into a fresh-keeping bag, and take it out of the refrigerator to cook when you want to eat, which is fast and convenient.

The most important thing in Chinese New Year is the dinner. When it was around two o'clock, Bai Yu and grandma began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

First take out the vegetables you bought and wash them all.Put the washed vegetables in a basin to drain, then shred the onion, ginger, garlic, and hot peppers and install them separately.The washed vegetables should be shredded and sliced.

Bai Yu sliced ​​cucumbers first.

Remove the heads and tails of two cucumbers, put them on the chopping board and flatten them with a knife, cut them into strips of three to four centimeters, add minced garlic and salt and stir, after more than ten minutes of marinating, add vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir. Can be loaded with discs.

After all the vegetables were cut, Bai Yu took out three eggs and beat them, and stirred them for later use.

Then take the fish out of the black bag and wrap the tail in a towel to prevent slipping.Then use the back of the knife to remove the scales from the fins, tails and heads of the fish. Of course, the dirt in the maw and head is also removed.After washing everything, drain.Cut a few knives on the back of the fish and marinate the fish with salt. After massaging for a few minutes, put it aside for later use.

The lamb ribs are washed and cut into pieces, deep-fried until golden, and then braised with onion, ginger, garlic, chili, salt and soy sauce.After the beef is cut into pieces and fried in oil, add the onion and garlic and simmer slowly for about two hours.

Bai Yu felt that there were too many dishes, so he put the chicken legs in the refrigerator to eat later.

Sweet and sour bream, braised mutton, stewed beef, cold cucumber, mushrooms in a dry pot, fried meat with garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs with bean sprouts, fried meat with lentils, fried celery, and a plate of sausages is just perfect.

After the dishes were set, Bai Yu went downstairs with the firecrackers he had bought.

It is a custom in Baiyu's hometown to set off firecrackers before eating.Bai Yu ran downstairs and found an open space to set off the firecrackers.When I went upstairs, the firecrackers hadn't been set off yet.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Bai Yu picked up a glass of orange juice and stood up and said, "I wish grandma good health and all the best!" After speaking, he drank the orange juice in one gulp.

Grandma also took a sip of orange juice from the cup and said with a smile, "Bai Yu will be safe and sound too." She picked up a piece of beef for Bai Yu.

Smelling the delicious dishes on the table, Xiaomi is no longer happy to eat cat food.Look at Xiaomi picking up his trouser legs.Bai Yu got up and opened a can, carried Xiaomi to the chair and watched it stick out its tongue.

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at Xiaomi happily eating the New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner and removing all the dishes, Bai Yu hugged Xiaomi and took grandma downstairs, and lit the fireworks on the grass.

The neighbors downstairs were also setting off fireworks, and this one rang out before the last one ended.Three fireworks sounded at the same time, and the gorgeous fireworks lit up the entire night sky.I watched the fireworks with a group of people for a while, saw scraps of paper falling on the roof and rustling, and went home with my grandma holding Xiaomi.

As soon as I got to the door of the house, I heard the phone ringing, and when I answered the phone, I said "Happy Chinese New Year!"

Bai Yu replied, "Happy New Year, Uncle, have you had dinner yet?"

Listening to the voices from over there, Bai Yu handed the phone to grandma.Seeing the greetings from grandma one by one, Bai Yu laughed at the side, and when he hung up the phone, Bai Yu made a few more calls.

After calling all the relatives who had installed phones, it was almost seven o'clock, and Bai Yu called Chen Hua and the three of them each.Just as I was about to wash up and go to bed, the phone in the living room rang.

Bai Yu walked over and saw a series of unfamiliar numbers.

"Hey?"

"Happy New Year Baiyu!"

"Happy New Year!"

Bai Yu knew it was Su Shaofan as soon as he heard it.

"Who were you calling just now? I made several calls but couldn't get through."

Su Shaofan's voice sounded distorted through the phone, Bai Yu laughed and said, "I'm on the phone with my uncle." Then he asked, "Are you at home? Have you had dinner yet?"

Su Shaofan said, "At Grandpa's house, we've finished eating a long time ago, did you go out to play?"

Bai Yu said, "I just came back after celebrating the New Year with the neighbors downstairs. Do you have fireworks there? The fireworks here are very beautiful."

Su Shaofan shook his head and said, "No, I haven't let off fireworks for many years."

"Oh, it's okay, here's another one waiting for you to play when you come back."

Su Shaofan smiled and said, "Then you must keep it!"

Bai Yu nodded "Yes"

After thinking for a while, I said, "Do you want to move to your house?"

"Hahaha, no need, just stay with you."

"Okay, it's late, I'm going to bed, and you go to bed early too."

"Well, good night." After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu set off the remaining firework.The fireworks were originally planned to be set off on the fifteenth day.

The Spring Festival Gala is still playing on TV, watching those unfamiliar and familiar programs, I feel that time is really a strange thing.Bai Yu took out his pajamas and went to the bathroom.

"Dudu" Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Su Shaofan hung up the phone, turned around and returned to the living room.
