[Korean Entertainment] Don't eat it, Bamboo Horse

South Korea, Gongju City, Chungcheongnam-do.The heavy snow repainted the city.Just when the New Year is approaching, every family gets together, and the children are not afraid of the cold, so they run out to build snowmen and have snowball fights.The lively atmosphere makes this Spring Festival full of flavor.

Five-year-old Liu Yan followed her parents and went to her grandpa's house for New Year's dinner together.Driving from Seoul, Xiaoyan was in a state of excitement along the way.When she arrived at her destination, as soon as she opened the car door, she couldn't wait to jump down and grab a handful of snow, her tender little hands turned red from the cold.

Mother Liu walked over with Yanzai's small gloves and said to her, "Yanzai, if you grab snow without gloves on, your hands will become red and swollen when they get cold."

"Oma, really?"

"Of course it's true!" Mother Liu said with affirmative expression.

Xiaoyan quickly threw away the snow on her hands, took out the handkerchief from her pocket, wiped her little hands clean, folded the handkerchief and put it back.

Mother Liu praised Xiaoyan gently, and saw Xiaoyan folding her handkerchief solemnly.Immediately, the capable woman's appearance was completely gone, and she reached out and rubbed her daughter's little face.

"Hey, our Jiayan's face is so soft."

"Oma! Let me go!" Xiaoyan twisted her body in protest.Her oma is very strange, she will transform like Superman on TV.One thing at work, another at home.

Father Liu locked the car and walked over with the gift.He grabbed Xiao Yanzai and managed to get a few kisses from Xiao Yanzai.

"Aba, thank you for coming to save Yanzai." Xiaoyan pursed her mouth, stretched out her hand and rubbed her face lightly, "Oma is really annoying, my face hurts so much from being rubbed!"

"Then let's hurry up and get rid of your oma, okay?" Liu's father happily took his daughter's hand and left, ignoring his wife who was stomping behind, "Grandpa and grandma must be waiting. Yan is here today You can also see your cousins, and you can play with them then."

"En!" Xiaoyan nodded vigorously, pulled Papa Liu and began to run with short legs.

"Ah, I say you two! Slow down! Yan is here! You haven't put on your gloves yet!"

Hearing Mama Liu's shout from behind, the father and daughter stepped more vigorously.

Father Liu's guess was right, the teenagers who had arrived earlier were waiting eagerly, chattering about when Liu Yan would arrive.

Grandpa Liu has three sons, and Grandma Liu has been looking forward to having a daughter.When I got older, I gave up and wanted a granddaughter.In the end, neither the eldest nor the second child lived up to expectations, and gave Grandma Liu four grandchildren, but the youngest son gave her a lovely granddaughter, Liu Yanzai.

Xiaoyan was doted on by the whole family when she was just born, and several cousins ​​of the same generation were taught by their ears to protect their sister, not to mention their elders.

The bell rang at the right time, and the teenagers scrambled to open the door.They saw Liu Yan wearing a thick padded jacket and standing obediently at the door.They had fun first, and after saying hello to Father Liu and Mother Liu,

"Xiaoyan is here! I'm your Junhao, right? Do you remember me?"

"Go away, don't scare my sister!"

"Brother, you just go away."

"Yaxi! Don't push me!"

On weekdays, Xiaoyan's parents seldom take her to grandpa's house, and only bring her here in a hurry during the holidays.This also caused Xiaoyan to feel a little uncomfortable in the face of the sudden enthusiasm. After calling everyone obediently, she shyly hid in her aba's arms.

Xiaoyan is so cute when she is shy.The cousins ​​who were silently making pink bubbles in their hearts became more enthusiastic.

"Xiaoyan is here, come and play with me. There is candy here."

"Yes, yes, and cake."

Although Xiaoyan really likes sweets, she still shook her head.After reluctantly looking at the snacks, she continued to bury herself in Aba's arms.No matter how teased her older brothers were, she refused to get out of Father Liu's arms.

When it was almost time for dinner, Grandma Liu asked Xiaoyan to follow her with a smile, making dinner together later.She blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at her aba.After receiving encouraging eyes from Liu's father, Xiaoyan slowly got up and walked into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mother Liu, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were all helping.Grandma Liu was still preparing the sponge cake for tomorrow. She put the noodles ground with japonica rice into a large basin, while Xiaoyan stood on the stool and carefully added sugar into it.After putting the sugar away, Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this okay, grandma?"

Grandma Liu came over with stale wine and clear water, and casually glanced at the sugar jar, which was almost empty.Grandma Liu suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, Xiaoyan is very good, let grandma come next."

"Okay! Is the sponge cake ready to eat tomorrow?" Xiaoyan looked at Grandma Liu with sparkling eyes. This was her first time helping to make sponge cake, so she was looking forward to it.

"Well, I will add some red dates and other seasonings to it tomorrow, and it can be eaten after steaming."

"Then I'll help tomorrow too! Oma said you can't just do half of things."

When Mother Liu, who was choosing dishes, heard her daughter mentioning herself, Chaoyan happily gave a thumbs up, and then got busy again.

"Okay, Yan is not afraid of hard work." Grandma Liu couldn't bear to discourage her precious granddaughter's enthusiasm. As long as her granddaughter made it, she would definitely let others eat it!

There is no need for Xiaoyan to help in the future, Grandma Liu will keep her to try food in the kitchen.When a dish is ready, Yan Zai will come to try the taste, and occasionally a few cousins ​​will come in to have a few bites, and then run out to play.

Rice cake soup is the finale, and Grandma Liu is in charge of it herself.She put the pre-prepared lean beef, rice cakes, shredded egg skins, and shredded seaweed into the plate.

The whole piece of lean beef looked very attractive. Grandma Liu cut it into thin slices with a knife, and then boiled it in boiling water.The pot on the other side had already been filled with water, and she took out the beef and put it in, adding a small spoonful of minced garlic and some pepper.Cover the pot and cook slowly. When waiting for the broth, the aroma has already wafted out.

Xiaoyan sniffed while sitting on the chair, looking like a greedy cat.

"Grandma, how long will the rice cake soup be ready?"

"Do you smell the fragrance? It's almost ready, don't worry." Grandma Liu speeded up while standing aside. In order to make the rice cakes more firm, she rinsed the rice cakes that had been cut into oblique slices with cold water.Wash it and put it aside, at this time the broth is only half boiled.

Grandma Liu fished out the beef with chopsticks, and then put the rice cakes in.She added some seasonings to it, and the rice cake soup was basically done, all that was left was waiting and arranging.

"Just wait for a few more minutes. By then, Yanzai will have to drink more, so that she will grow up quickly in the coming year."

Xiaoyan nodded, jumped off the chair, moved the chair to Grandma Liu and put it down, "Grandma, please sit down, are you tired? Let me help you rub your back."

"Hey, we Yanzai are really filial. The rice cake soup will be ready later, grandma doesn't need to sit down." Grandma Liu smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, she waved her hand and refused.

During dinner, Xiaoyan was using chopsticks to pick up the creamy rice cake, but she failed several times. '

"Come, come, Yan is here, let me help you!" The lobby brother Liu Junhao sat opposite, seeing Yan's dejected look, he was about to come over to help, but as soon as he took a step, he was tripped by his brother.

"Yeah! Liu Junxi, you brat!"

"..."

While they were arguing, Yan Zai had already changed to a spoon and successfully ate the rice cake.As soon as she swallowed the rice cake, she remembered Grandma Liu's words, picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

The pepper is a bit spicy and stimulates the taste buds, but it makes people appetite.Beef and shredded egg skin are mixed with rice cake soup, and it has a special taste.Although rice cake soup is a very common delicacy, it is eaten every year, but for some reason, it is the most delicious only when eaten during Chinese New Year.

Especially in this atmosphere...

"Ah, let's set off the fireworks! Let's go watch the fireworks!" The bluffing little cousin Liu Enchong looked excited.

"I'll go again later, I haven't finished my meal yet!" The second aunt tapped her son's forehead with her chopsticks.

"Stop making noise! ​​Brat!"

"Ah! It hurts!"
