Listening to Daughter-in-law

The next morning, Qin Zhong rarely got up without being called.After a hasty breakfast, the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner began.

This is the first time since the twelfth lunar month, Qin Zhong has gained control of the kitchen. Usually he only lights the fire, but today he can ask Du Hu to be the fireman, and then he is responsible for bringing hot water to the bathroom to wash the vegetables.Even Dahu didn't agree to ask to chop vegetables.Qin Zhong smiled and said that he wanted to cook a good meal to reward Dahu, but Zhang Dahu was so dizzy that he just smirked.

Today, I specially turned on two stoves, and washed the steamer for making steamed buns that I bought at the market.Qin Zhong thought about the order of cooking, um, the time-consuming dishes should be cooked first, the egg dumplings and snow balls should be cooked first, then put them in the steamer.The dishes for ancestor worship must be cooked first, and the New Year’s dinner can only be eaten after the ancestor worship. Well, most of the dishes should be prepared before the ancestor worship.

The cold dishes should be cooked first, sausages and potatoes are easier to solve, the more troublesome one is the white jade pork knuckle, this dish was invited to dinner by the boss when I was working, and I ate it cold in a Cantonese restaurant, the taste melts in the mouth and is not greasy , Let Qin Zhong know that pig's feet can be eaten like this, and he has never forgotten it ever since.Learn to do it this time.It was originally called Baiqie Zhushou, but Qin Zhong thought that name was not pleasant, so he kept calling him Baiyu Zhushou.While Du Hu was washing the vegetables, Qin Zhong washed the prepared pig's front feet with water, and removed the big bones in the middle.Then cook it over a slow fire and tell Du Hu to keep an eye on the fire. Qin Zhong went to prepare the dipping sauce and cut the ginger into shreds.Add sugar and rice vinegar, soak into sour ginger, put it aside and soak for about half an hour, cut garlic, onion, and lemon into pieces, heat the pan with oil, fry garlic, onion, add lemon, sour ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine, and salt.Qin Zhong saw that the pig's trotters needed to be eaten, so he took out the sausages, cut all three flavors into slices, cut them obliquely, and arranged them on the plate. He also cut some sausage rings and put them in the middle before serving. The pot is steamed, the potatoes are placed in the pig’s feet and steamed over water, the pork belly and taro are cut into the same size, and the intervals are placed, the pickles are spread on the bottom, and the fried pork skin is covered on the top, and it can be steamed later, stewed in oil Chicken is the most troublesome, because there is no pressure cooker.Qin Zhong thinks that in ancient times, stewing was generally steamed in a steamer, and if the whole chicken was stewed, it was stewed alone.Cut the chicken open, spread the sauce inside and out, oil the pot, and put the chicken inside.At this time, the pig's feet were ready, just cooked, Qin Zhong took out the pig's feet, while the potatoes were still steaming, washed the pig's feet with cold water, marinated them in sweet and sour sauce, and put them outside to freeze.When it is completely cooled, take it into the house and cut it into a plate.

Zhang Dahu is already cutting chestnuts. Qin Zhong beats the egg liquid, chops the meat stuffing and starts to make egg dumplings. It is easy to wrap, but it takes a test of skill to wrap them well. Qin Zhong patiently wraps them. He wants to eat hot after making more. You can eat it, you can also have a hot pot,

Qin Zhong loves this very much. As for the purely crushed snowflake balls, they are used to match the image, so Qin Zhong didn't do much. The kneaded meatballs are dipped in glutinous rice and become snowflake balls.These are still simple, the most complicated one is Yipinguo, the method is simple, but the choice of ingredients is very complicated!There are many ways to make a pot. Qin Zhong used a medium-sized casserole. First, he used sliced ​​dried mountain bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, and magnolia slices on the bottom layer, and then layered pork belly, pork ribs, and fried tofu stuffed with meat. bean sprouts,

The whole duck and a pigeon are arranged, and meatballs are placed in the gap, and the broth cubes that have been boiled yesterday are put into it, and then put on the stove to cook.In fact, there are many ways to make Yipinguo, and most of them have things put in the sea. I didn’t buy them this year, so I made a mountain delicacy Yipinguo.The potatoes are also steamed, and a stove and a pot are emptied, put the chicken stewed on the stove, the fish is done, just fry it and pour the sauce on it, the shredded apples and cabbage heart are put at the end, Qin Zhong made the steamer, put the Yipin pot under it,

Then put them in order, buckle meat, sausage, and egg dumplings.Crush and flatten the steamed potatoes in a bowl while they are hot.The stove was full, and Qin Zhong also had some free time, sitting beside Du Hu to light the fire with him.

"Daughter-in-law, it's really easy for you to cook this dish, and the steamer can take care of most of it!" Dahu said with a smile, and after he said that, Qin Zhong realized that what he cooked seemed to be lazy recipes. fly a glance,

"You're saying I'm not good!"

"No! How dare I!" Qin Zhong scratched his head, "We usually don't want oil, and we eat steamed vegetables, but during the Chinese New Year, we have to stir-fry vegetables. Thinking of my father's Chinese New Year in the past, I have to get up in the early morning, and I don’t have a rest until meal time!"

Qin Zhong stared, "You mean I can't do it!"

"How can it be!" At last, Dahu wasn't too stupid. Seeing that his expression was wrong, he immediately said, "It's my wife who is too capable! She does things quickly!"

"Dahu, do you care when you worship your ancestors?"

Duo stretched his neck to look at the sky, "No rush! There's still more than an hour left!"

Qin Zhong wanted to wait until the chicken and Yipinguo were ready, and he only needed to get a fish. The time should come. After the ancestors came back, there were only three dishes to make. They were all time-consuming dishes. Alas, they were lazy dishes. , It also takes time to do!so tired!Qin Zhong thinks it's lucky that he only celebrates the new year once a year!Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, we eat a lot of vegetables and don’t eat much rice, ah!The rice is not cooked yet!Qin Zhong jumped up violently, there was no rush to make colorful rice now, Qin Zhong dug out the rice, added a steamer, and steamed the rice on the Yipin pot!When the rice is ready, so is the chicken!When he was in a hurry, Qin Zhong pointed at Dug's nose and scolded your family for celebrating the New Year at noon and why not at night.Big Hu Nuonuo coaxed him, and even stuffed a candied date into his mouth.

After the braised fish was finished, the Yipin pot was ready to fire, so Du Hu sealed off the remaining fire, picked up the dishes, and walked to the ancestral hall with Qin Zhong. Along the way, we also met many people walking to the ancestral hall, and everyone laughed. Hello!Qin Zhong went to the ancestral hall for the first time, and he was very curious.

The ancestral hall in Sixi Village is not a large one.It is a lot of small rooms, which look a bit like the memorial tablets of modern cemeteries. Dahu explained to Qin Zhong that it was because when Sixi built the village, many families left their homes to come here. Letting go became a big problem. In order not to cause disputes, the village chief simply cut off everyone!Also convenient!Saying that, he went to Da Hu's place, set up the stewed fish, stewed chicken, and first-grade pot, and Du Hu himself lit three sticks of incense and put them in, and asked Qin Zhong to put in three sticks of incense, too. Dad, Dad, this is my daughter-in-law Qin Zhong! He is very good! He is also very good to me! You can rest assured underground!"

Qin Zhong saw that his eyes were red, and he felt bad. He knelt down in front of the memorial tablet devoutly and said, "I am Qin Zhong! I will take good care of Duhu!" Rao Qin Zhong couldn't calmly call his father to the tablet Dad's.

After sacrificing ancestors, when you get home, the oil-braised chicken and fish are placed on a stone table to keep warm, and the Yipin pot is steamed in a steamer!Qin Zhong cooked the eight-treasure vermicelli soup. Hearing the name, he thought it was very complicated, but it was actually very simple to cook. He boiled water with a block of broth, put the vermicelli in it, and then put in red dates, bean shoots, chopped egg skins, and bird eggs in turn. , fresh water chestnut slices,

Just cook it in one pot!There was supposed to be ham, but forget it!When the vermicelli soup was ready, when Qin Zhong wanted to make choy sum, he found a pot of chestnuts. Qin Zhong screamed, "My chestnut roasted pork! Forgot!" He immediately made chestnut roasted pork again!Stir-fry on high heat, then simmer on medium heat, the cabbage heart is easy to stir-fry, after blanching with water, make a circle on the plate with the head facing outward, pour the thawed broth on top, and then put the previously made fish jelly, Cut into crystal cubes and push them in the middle, it looks oily and delicious. This fish jelly is boiled into a jelly with a whole fish, and it is specially used to eat fish jelly!Now all that's left is the candied apples!Before making this, Qin Zhong was busy making the sauce again, and cut the frozen pork knuckle into small pieces. Qin Zhong directed Du Hu to put the dishes on the table, and he put the sliced ​​apples in the Put batter in the egg batter, boil the oil pan over high heat, deep-fry quickly, and fry until golden brown, then leave the pan, leave some remaining oil to fry sugar, fry the sugar into a slurry, then put apple pieces and sesame seeds, make sure that each piece is coated Sugar, just out of the pot, with a bowl of cold water, take it out!

"Quick! Try the candied apple first!"

"Ah! The firecrackers haven't been set off yet!" Dug was in a hurry!

"Then go and let it go!" Qin Zhong kicked at the tiger!

Du Hu hurriedly finished setting off the firecrackers and came in. Qin Zhong had already arranged the food and wine!Seeing him come in, he took out the candied apple again, "Hurry up! Eat this! It's the best! Eat it while it's hot!" Dui hurriedly picked it up and put it in his mouth, but it burned! "You don't know how to eat any kind of food!" Qin Zhong smiled, picked up a piece, and put it in cold water for a while,

And then sent it to Dahu's mouth, "Take a small bite first, blow the stuffing inside to cool down, and then eat!" Dahu took a bite with Qin Zhong's chopsticks!Why is it so delicious!Sweet!Qin Zhong unconsciously said that he is not afraid of being hot at all, because he loves this dish the most!

Wait until the candied apples are finished.The two of them had a good New Year's meal, Qin Zhong drank wine, Da Hu drank sorghum wine, the two of you caught me, the food was so lively!
