The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 116, lively

"Old lady, uncle, my master is here." Li Weiguo called out as soon as he entered the room.

Seeing Li Weiguo leading Wang Zhenhai into the house, the old lady and the old man hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Master Wang is here, come, please sit down."

"Hehe, you're welcome." Old man Wang nodded with a smile, but instead of sitting down, he bowed to the old lady and said, "Happy New Year, old man, how are you?"

Li Weiguo had told both parties about the New Year's celebration together in advance. Old man Wang also heard about the old lady's five-guarantee household.

"Everyone is fine, everything is fine, sit down quickly, please sit down."

After the old lady knew that Wang Zhenhai was Li Weiguo's master, she was very polite to Wang Zhenhai. The first uncle was also very polite. He was in and out of the steel rolling mill all year round, so he naturally knew something about Wang Zhenhai.

"Master Wang, please sit down and have a cup of tea and chat for a while. Today is Sha Zhu who is in charge of cooking. We will be able to serve dinner soon." The first mother warmly brought a cup of tea and handed it to Old Man Wang.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, I don't know how to cook anyway, so I'm just waiting for Master He's big meal, hahaha." Wang Zhenhai took the tea and smiled.

"Okay, please do it, I will satisfy you, hahaha." Sha Zhu patted his chest and assured him that he was still very confident in cooking.

Li Weiguo, who was at the side, felt relieved when he saw that the master and the others had chatted. He was also worried that Old Man Wang was used to being alone and would not be used to it.

Feeling relieved, Li Weiguo took the big sack and put it at Silly Zhu's feet, saying, "Brother Zhu, everything is here. I leave it all to you."

"What is this, such a big bag?" Silly Zhu asked suspiciously.

"Hey, of course it's a good thing, you'll know if you open it and have a look."

This big bag of things is the Chinese New Year ingredients specially prepared by Li Weiguo. Although they lined up actively a few years ago, they didn’t buy many things after all. , I can't make up a few dishes.

So Li Weiguo had to prepare a little bit more, and he was extravagant once a year, so he couldn't feel wronged.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu leaned over and opened the sack.

"Hey guy, Weiguo, you robbed the meat joint factory, right? So much pork, and such a big goose."

Auntie and Yuyu, who were busy plucking the chickens, and Wang Zhenhai and a grandfather who were chatting, also heard the words and came over to see what was there.

Seeing this, they almost stared out their eyeballs.

"Wow, so much meat." Yu Shui was shocked from ear to ear.

It turned out that there were [-] catties of pork in the bag, some fat and some lean, of which [-] catties were suet, and the remaining [-] catties were half-fat and thin pork belly.

Ten catties of pork belly is easy to say, and you can buy it for a little more money, but lard suet is not easy to get. Usually, a pig is already reserved before it is put on sale, and ordinary people can't easily buy it.

In addition to pork, there are about ten catties of pork bones and pork ribs, and a fat goose weighing nearly twenty catties has been killed and stripped.

In addition, there is a large seabass weighing six to seven pounds, twenty pounds of white flour, and half a sack of other vegetables, fruits, and fruits. How can one be so rich?

Just this sack of things is enough for the four of them to eat until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Wang Zhenhai was originally worried that he would not have enough supplies for the New Year, so he specially brought him all the New Year's goods he had prepared before the new year. How could he think that Li Weiguo would be a big sack when he made a move.
He always heard his apprentice say that there was no shortage of food, and he thought it was just a polite way, but it was true when he didn't realize it.

The uncle was not very surprised, he thought Wang Zhenhai brought it with him when he came. After all, Wang Zhenhai has an extraordinary background and it is not difficult to get some supplies.

"His grandma, if Wei Guoyi had told me earlier that you have such a great ability, why would I go to the vegetable market to line up? I was blinded by a pair of good shoes, and my feet were swollen from being trampled on." Silly Zhu looked This big bag of supplies, can not help but sigh with emotion.

When Li Weiguo heard this, he teased and said, "Then I didn't know that you were going to deliver shoes to other people's vegetable markets. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go, right, Yushui, Da Ma?"

"Yeah. That's right, puff hahaha."

Saying that, Yu Shui and Da Ma couldn't help laughing, and everyone present couldn't help laughing too.

"."

Silly Zhu glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Yes, you can shame me."

"Hahaha"

It's just a joke, and after laughing, everyone still helped to pick up the things in the sack.

The things were put in the bag just now, and they were not very conspicuous, but when they were put out, they were quite shocking.

There are fish, meat, and goose, and there are a lot of vegetables and flour, which fill the entire table.

"Wei Guo, what are you going to do for the New Year's Eve dinner today?"

There are so many good things, silly Zhu didn't know what to cook for a while.

Li Weiguo looked at the ingredients on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Well, the pork suet oil is squeezed directly, and the main course is braised pork, green pepper twice-cooked pork, big goose stewed in an iron pan, steamed sea bass, fried cabbage with oil residue, stir-fried pork, etc. Eggs, hot and sour potato shreds, and make a steamed egg for the old lady.

As a side dish, let’s make deep-fried peanuts and salt and pepper lard residue. These two dishes are for drinking, and then your stewed chicken soup. For the main dish, let’s make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. How about it? "

"Okay, that's it, ten dishes and one soup, perfect." Yu Shui couldn't help drooling when he heard so many dishes, and immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

"Okay, ten dishes and one soup, it's very good, everyone please."

Sha Zhu nodded, agreed to today's menu, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to start.

"Oh, you young people just don't know how to live. How can you eat so much? Just make dumplings and stir-fry four or five dishes. Any more will be wasted." The aunt is used to frugality, so she is not willing to make it like this, Quickly stop the road.

In this year and month, it is very good for ordinary people to eat dumplings with lard residue for the New Year's Eve dinner. She has never seen ten dishes and one soup for a meal, and the landlord Lao Cai does not necessarily have this standard for the New Year.

Li Weiguo smiled and said: "Auntie, it's not a problem. For the New Year, we just want to eat better. If we can't finish it, we can eat it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's cold and we can't waste it. It's only once a year. It's not a problem. The most important thing is happy."

"That's fine, luxury is luxury."

After listening to Li Weiguo's words, Da Ma hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

After all, most of the things were brought back by Li Weiguo, and Wang Zhenhai is still here as a guest, so don't be stingy, it makes people laugh, it's rare to have a lively event once a year, luxury is luxury, anyway, things are in the stomach Yes, it won't run either.

After finalizing the menu, the old lady, Wang Zhenhai, and the uncle had no objections, so Shazhu rolled up his sleeves and got ready to start.

First, he lifted the twenty catties of lard in the bag and put it in a large basin, took it out to wash, and prepared the first job for the New Year's Eve dinner: refining lard.
