The daily life of the husband who crossed the field

Today is the New Year's Eve, there are few people outside the village, and every household is preparing well at home, and the sound of firecrackers has not stopped from morning to night.

The flowers around the yard have completely withered, and it is full of snow when you look around, but today the weather is fine and there is no wind, so Xu Zijia brought out the flowers that he had been growing in the kitchen, small ginger flowers, some The flower buds have just emerged, and some are already in full bloom. This is an unknown local wild flower. It blooms in autumn and has been carefully cared for by Xu Zijia. Now it is showing its vigorous vitality at the base of the wall.

"Kid Jia will figure out a way." I don't know if it's because of the strong New Year's atmosphere here, but Zhang Zhen has gradually started to get busy, following the customs of the village, and it's more like years than before.

Xu Zijia packed two little snowmen in the yard. The first time the two of them failed to make a pile, two days ago two snowmen were piled up by the snowfall. In the middle of the yard, the red carrot was used as a long nose. The round little snowman looks naive and cute, "We will have more flowers next year when the flower seeds are sown in the field." In fact, he is not a person who particularly loves flowers, but he always feels that flowers can Make your home more warm.

"Yeah, the flower seeds I asked the townspeople to buy, but they are not expensive flowers." Zhang Zhen was cutting a piece of wood with a machete in his hand. He was going to make rice cakes to eat during the Chinese New Year. will do.

Xu Zijia doesn't mind. In fact, it's good to have the current life. At this time last year, the family was in a mess. The whole family had to worry about safety issues, and they didn't plan to have a good year at all.

Once the moulds for making rice cakes are ready, it’s time to start preparing lunch. The local popular New Year’s Eve dinner is at night. Regardless of the new year or the new year, the most sumptuous meal is at night. Speaking of which, there are no two meals a day in the local area. Get used to it, otherwise Zhang Zhen felt that he might have to get used to it for a while.

Usually eat vegetables for lunch, and save the meat for dinner. Although Zhang Zhen's family does not lack meat, he really wants to try the custom here.Of course, Zhang Zhen wouldn't just eat carrots and cabbage, but when he thought about the things in the space's kitchen, he became concerned.

"Little Jia, how about we have roasted shiitake mushrooms with onions, dry-stir-fried green beans, and hot and sour green peppers for lunch today?" Zhang Zhen made a list of the recipes in his mind. Zijia likes to eat chili, but he doesn't know if he can stand things like onions. ?

Except for green peppers, Xu Zijia has never eaten anything else, "Ah Zhen can do it as he sees."

Most of their meals on weekdays are meat cooked in different ways, vegetables are available locally, and there are still a lot in the cellar, so although there are not too many vegetables in the refrigerator, the frequency of appearance is not high.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Zhencai dragged him into the bedroom, closed the doors and windows, and then entered the spatial kitchen together.

Burning shiitake mushrooms with onions has the effect of preventing atherosclerosis and diabetes, and is good for the intestines. The onions should be processed according to the routine. The key step is to tear the shiitake mushrooms into strips by hand and blanch them in boiling water to taste better. , and finally just stir-fry chopped green onion, minced ginger, chicken essence and refined salt to taste.

Cooking should not only consider the taste, but also know the benefits of which dishes to eat. Dry-stir-fried green beans have the effect of clearing away dampness and heat, invigorating the spleen and appetizing, but because the green beans are dry-stir-fried, skills are also required, and attention should be paid not to stir-fry Add water, dry stir-frying is to fry dry, the heat of stir-frying is very important, if the stir-fry is over, the skin will be raw, if not enough, it will become ordinary stir-fried green beans.

Hot and sour green peppers are also good for the spleen and appetizers. For this, you need to remove the stalks of the green peppers, put them in the oven, take them out for about 3 minutes, cool them and cut them into pieces, then add soy sauce, refined salt, chicken essence, rice vinegar, sugar, Mix sesame oil and chopped green onion into a seasoning sauce, and finally stir it with green peppers. It is simple and easy to make. As long as the ingredients are used correctly, it is definitely a good dish for dinner.

What Xu Zijia ate most was hot and sour green peppers and dry-stir-fried green beans. When he started chopping onions, he wanted to help. Zhang Zhen deliberately teased him, and only pushed him aside when his eyes were smoky. Although Xu Zijia was called by Zhang Zhen in time Open, but the first time I came into contact with such a thing, I still had a little resistance to onions, and the speed of picking chopsticks was very slow.

Although it is said to be a New Year's Eve dinner, every household actually prepares very early, starting from the time of lunch, and there is a secret competition about who will serve the dinner first, but if the meal is served too early and there is no fragrance from the house, it will be punished. joke.

So not long after the afternoon, the smell of meat is everywhere in the village. If there is no smell, it will be looked down upon, not because the family is poor. Every year in the village, people go hunting in the mountains. You can get a little bit of meat, but you dare not go when you are poor, that's why people laugh at you.

Sister-in-law Shun is very close to Zhang Zhen's house. From the afternoon, she can smell all kinds of aromas at home. Some are familiar. Dasong has done it before, but most of them are some unknown aromas. It whetted the appetite, and Shunzi looked at each other, and then looked at the meat in the pot that was so delicious in the past, envious and helpless.

Zhang Zhen has really put in a lot of effort. Stir-fried tenderloin with scallions, shredded beef with sharp peppers, fried noodles with mutton, dry fried chicken wings, fried clams with bean drums, fried crabs with scallions and ginger, and braised chestnut chicken. The color is also very attractive. These are all made in the kitchen with the raw materials. Let's respond to the warm atmosphere!

No matter what, Zhang Zhen can be said to have won a complete victory in this competition, and those who happened to pass by and those who lived nearby would stop for a while just smelling the smell.

Mrs. Zhang Zhao was splashing water in the yard when she was seen by the neighbor Chunyu's family, who shouted, "His second aunt, why are you still here? Your eldest son didn't call you when he cooked such delicious food." , that smell, I can smell it from afar, it's greedy, it's really greedy!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Zhao replied: "I won't even eat his incompetent thing if I ask me to eat it! I don't have a conscience, he is a lifeless life, and his father and I don't dare to count on him. "After speaking, he turned his head and went into the room with a dark face.

Chun Yu's family curled their lips, no wonder the eldest son didn't call her, such a father and mother, what's the difference between having and not having them?There is one more enemy.

Back in the main room, Mrs. Zhang Zhao told old man Zhang about this matter. Old man Zhang also had a bad complexion, and resentment flashed in his cloudy eyes: "I really should have strangled him when he was born, no A filial thing!"

The others didn't dare to speak when they saw that the two of them were angry. The sound of firecrackers outside was crackling. This is a local custom. Firecrackers need to be set off before the New Year's Eve dinner. They can compare who can set off the loudest firecrackers, but the Zhang family is silent. .
