Little wealth

For them, building a house is a major event, and erecting beams is also a very important matter, and there are many things to pay attention to.

The day of the beam-up is checked by the husband in advance, and it can only be done at an auspicious time.The time for raising the beam in their house is at noon, and they have to prepare incense tables and sacrifices.

Josh didn't know much about these things. He always listened to his mother and prepared the required sacrifices in advance. After they got on the beam at noon, their family would treat everyone to a meal. After the food is ready, he is ready to make lunch.

"Mum, everything is here. Look at what is missing and tell me. I'll go outside and cook everything first." There are a lot of people eating today, and four or five tables of dishes need to be prepared. Still relatively large.If they don't prepare things in advance, they won't be able to have food on the table when it's time to eat, and they will lose the face of their own family.

Since the family entrusted him with this task, they trusted him, and he must have done this well.

"Okay, I'll come right away. If you want to be busy, go get busy first." There are many things at home, everyone is busy, Zhao Amu also has something to do on hand.Hearing that the sacrifice was ready, he hurried over to check, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he rushed outside and shouted: "It's all right, there's nothing wrong."

"Hey, that's good." Josh, who came out outside, heard it and responded.

After getting things ready, they had to prevent their son from running in to make trouble.

Seeing the child outside, he thought it would be better to run into the house to mess around, but he was still not at ease, so he pulled the little guy and told him, "You are playing outside, you can't go inside, what's the matter?" Just call me, you know?"

"Huh!~" Zhao Xiaonian was impatient to listen to the adults, and broke free from the hands held by the adults, rode his small wooden cart and ran away with his Ah Huang.

"You brat, you still dislike me for being long-winded!" Seeing the child running away to play, Josh smiled helplessly, and could only pay more attention and stare at the child more.

Although their children are already very sensible, how much can you ask a child who has just passed his second birthday to understand?So it's the adults who take good care of the child, so that when the child runs into the house and breaks the sacrifice, it is not possible to solve the problem by beating the child.

The next door is still busy, and the men in the family have gone out, so they can only be responsible for cooking.

Pick out the same vegetables in the basket and sort them. Take out all the meat and vegetables that will be used today. The pork must be washed and cut first, and it will be ready to be stewed in a while.

There are a lot of people eating today, and farmers don’t pay much attention to what they eat, as long as they have meat and vegetables.He was going to make a few stews, and he would cook two or three dishes later, which would save time and effort, and be more convenient. Otherwise, just two or three of them would not be so busy with so much work.

There are a few live fish in the wooden barrel. He plans to make this fish into a steamed one later. Just kill it, put it in a steamer, steam it, and drizzle it with sauce. The method is simple but delicious.

Josh took out the pork from the basket and put it in the wooden basin, scooped two spoonfuls of water into it, scrubbed the pork twice and was ready to cut it.

The kitchen inside is too small, and the fish and meat are ready to be cut outside, otherwise the kitchen inside will be full, and there will be no place to stay when you come in and out.The small kitchen at home is such a trouble, so the first thing he asked for in the new house was to build the kitchen higher and larger, so that it would be more convenient for the family to cook New Year’s Eve dinner or prepare several tables for any wedding in the future.

"Do you want to cut meat? Let me do it." Seeing that Josh was about to cut meat, Chen Yan picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, asked what kind of cut he wanted, and dropped the knife. The speed at which he cut meat It is fast and smooth, the knife in the hand does not stop at all, and the cut meat is even in size.

"Haha, that's right, I'll leave it to you here." Seeing Chen Yan's speed of cutting meat is simply a visual pleasure, Josh almost gave him a thumbs up, the speed of cutting meat is so comfortable to watch Cool!

But thinking that there was still a lot of work to be done in the kitchen, he didn't have much time to stand outside and watch, so he told Chen Yan to cut up the meat and bring it in for him, and he went to the kitchen to get things.

"Well, good." Chen Yan replied without turning his head.

Josh went into the kitchen and brought out a large pot of mushrooms. After the soaked mushrooms were squeezed dry, they were soaked in water twice, and then cut into small cubes. When all the mushrooms were cut out, there would be more than half of the pot, "Let's I’ll use up the mushrooms I picked up from the mountains a few times ago.” He felt his heart bleed as he spoke, and he would soak all the mushrooms and fungus that were not much in this meal today, otherwise There is less foam and I am afraid that it will not be enough to eat, so I can only use all of it.

"Oh, are you used up? Then I'll go up the mountain to pick some for you some other day." Chen Yan turned his head and glanced at the mushrooms in the pot. He also likes to eat mushrooms, especially those that are fried with meat. He can eat three big bowls of rice with diced shiitake mushrooms.

"Hehe, that's fine. When will you go up the mountain and bring me, I'll go up with you." Josh actually prefers to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. There are not many people picking mushrooms on the mountain here, and there are many mushrooms on the mountain. They gain a lot every time they go up the mountain.

The only bad thing is that their son is too clingy to him, and he can't do many things with a clingy son by his side.So he can only go out every time while his son is still sleeping, and come back before his son wakes up. Occasionally, the child will cry at home when he wakes up and doesn't see him.

Chen Yan nodded dumbly, and said "OK", Xin had already flown to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

"You are cutting the meat outside. I brought these to the kitchen first. You will bring them to me after you have cut them." Take the chopped mushrooms to the kitchen and put them away. Josh is in the kitchen Prepare other things, wash what you want to wash, cut what you want to cut, prepare these dishes in advance, and just put them in the pot and fry them in a while.

He didn't finish washing the dishes here, so he saw Chen Yan coming in with a large bowl of meat, looked left and right, there was no place to put anything, and he hurriedly shouted: "Put it, let it go... wait until I move it." out of position."

The kitchen was too small, and it would be full with just a little stuff in it, so he hurriedly moved a place to put the meat out.

"Oh, there's quite a lot of cut meat." Looking at a large pot of cut meat, these meats will be fried or stewed later, and there will not be too much of them.

Josh thought that the fish in the wooden barrel had not been killed, so he said to Chen Yan: "There are fish in the wooden barrel outside, why don't you help me kill the fish. Can you kill the fish? Take the fish's internal organs and gills Dig it out, let's make steamed fish, we want the whole fish."

Chen Yan hummed, "Yes, you are here, I'll kill you." Then he turned and went out.

He can kill a pig that big, let alone a few fish.

Stretching his long hand into the wooden barrel, he caught a fish accurately and silently. The fish that was still alive wagged its tail, trying to break free from the hand that was holding it.

Press the fish on the chopping board, take a knife in his hand and pat the fish's head, and the fish will not move. Then he scrapes the fish scales with the blade, and cuts at the belly of the fish to dig out the internal organs. He also pulled out the gills of the fish.Use the same method for the next few fish. Killing a few fish is not as long as it took him to cut pork just now.

After killing the fish, Chen Yan cleaned the fish and put them in a basin for Josh to take over.

"So fast?" Josh was a little surprised when he saw Chen Yan coming over with the fish, "Let's put it here first, and then steam it when it's almost done. If you steam it for too long, the fish will be too hard and it won't taste good."

He took a plate and put the fish on, stuffed sliced ​​ginger and knotted green onions into the belly of the fish, put it on the steamer, covered it, and prepared to steam it later. The dish will be served as soon as it is steamed The table is almost there.

Chen Yan looked at the fish placed in the steamer, and nodded as if thinking of the appearance of the steamed fish.

"Let's stew the pig's trotters and pork first. I'll fry them first and put them in the pot for stewing." Josh went to wash the pot. After the pot was heated, scoop out the water and start cooking. up.Chen Yan knelt down to help set the fire, put a handful of firewood in, and the fire started to flourish.

"Fuck-"

After the water in the pot is boiled dry, put the chopped pork belly in the empty pot, stir the oil, then put in ginger, spring onion, shiitake mushrooms, cooking wine, light soy sauce, and scoop a spoonful of water just enough to cover the meat .

Then put in bay leaf star anise and rock sugar, cover and continue cooking.

"The meat here will take about half an hour to cook. Ah Yan, you can just put a few pieces of hardwood into the stove. You don't have to stay here and set the fire." After closing the lid, Josh sat in front of the stove to help watch Huo's Chen Yan said.

"En." Chen Yan looked up, put a few hardwoods into the stove, made sure the fire in the stove was big, and got up.

Their son came over after smelling the scent. Josh pulled the boy to wipe the sweat off his body and asked, "Did you come here because of the smell?"

"Hee hee~" Little Wa'er bit her little finger, looking around with her beautiful eyes, trying to find something that smells delicious.

"Don't look, it's not cooked yet, you can eat it later." Josh went to get a bowl and filled it with water, and fed the child half of the bowl, and he drank the rest by himself.

Seeing the child's blushing face, he knew that he was running around outside to get warm.He conveniently pulled a stool to the door, let the little guy sit down, and discussed with him, "Thank you for sitting here, can you stop running around?"

Seeing the little guy nodding, he took it as his consent and got up to do other things.

But before he started working, the little guy sitting at the door ran over and hung on his lap, trying to run up his leg.

Josh looked helplessly at the small human-shaped pendant on his lap, and asked, "What do you want to do? Can't you sit by yourself for a while? Look, I don't have time to hug you right now. How about we Save up for now, can I hug you when I'm free at night?"

But obviously, their son refused his request and asked him to hug him now.
