Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 106
With a burst of crackling firecrackers, the New Year's Eve officially kicked off.

Every household began to post Spring Festival couplets, sweep the corners, and try their best to welcome the next year.

Qiao Lianlian bought blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets in advance, and boiled a pot of thick rice milk with starch water.

Gu Shao took it very consciously, and took a few boys to brush rice paste on the walls and gates, and paste Spring Festival couplets.

Qiao Lianlian was in charge of cooking, and Gu Que washed the pots and lit the fire for her.

On New Year's Eve, you always have to eat more generously.

The family is not in a state of shortage before, and they can afford to eat whatever they want.

The most important thing is that there is a generous woman who can eat.

Ordinary people celebrate the New Year with a plate of dumplings, but Qiao Lianlian made five kinds of dumplings.

There are pork and shepherd's purse stuffing, celery and beef stuffing, pork and green onion stuffing, three delicacies stuffing, and a pork and corn stuffing.

Not only that, but she also served four dishes of small cold dishes.

A plate of pork skin jelly, is to wash the pig skin and scrape off the lard, chop it and boil it to get the collagen, then put it outside to cool overnight to let it solidify and shape, cut it into pieces and add some soy sauce and vinegar to eat the next day Minced shallots are delicious.

A plate of braised lamb leg, which was taken from Sixi Tower, the sweet and spicy mutton was shredded and placed on the plate, nothing was put on it, only lightly heated, the mouth watering was so fragrant.

A plate of pickles, the main ingredient is radish, but because it has been fermented and marinated with various spices, it has already been reborn.Qiao Lianlian cut it into strips again, mixed it with sesame oil, and the aroma became richer and more layered.

A plate of steamed Flammulina velutipes, wash and tear the Flammulina velutipes on the plate, add some green onion and ginger, steam for a cup of tea, and pour the sauce prepared in advance, it is simple, delicious and easy to make.

Bi Song squatted outside the kitchen, drooling just watching these dishes being made.

When Qiao Lianlian finally opened his cherry mouth slightly and shouted "It's time to eat", he immediately jumped up, jumped into the kitchen, and graciously brought all the bowls to the main hall.

His big hands are not afraid of being scalded, and he walks fast and steadily. The few masters who posted Spring Festival couplets outside came back, and the food was already set.

"Ma'am, come and sit." He warmly greeted everyone, those who didn't know thought he was the host and others were guests.

Qiao Lianlian pursed his lips and smiled, "Master Bisong, don't call me Madam, just call me Lianlian or Xiao Qiao."

"How embarrassing is that?" Bisong glanced at Gu Shao, saw that he didn't show any expression, and then laughed again, "Then don't call me son, it's weird, just call me Bisong."

"Okay." Qiao answered again and again.

The whole family and Bisong sat down.

Gu Shao said, "I'll set off a firecracker."

Here in Gujia Village, it is a local custom to set off a string of firecrackers before eating on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Bi Song quickly stood up, "I'll come, I'll come."

The firecrackers had been hung up a long time ago, he only needed to take out the firecracker and light the fuse.

The sound of firecrackers, when I listen to other people's house in my own house, is just a burst of crackling, but when it really reaches my door, it becomes a deafening sound.

As soon as Bi Song went out, Qiao Lianlian and Gu Shao had a tacit understanding, and each of them put their hands on their ears.

Coincidentally, Aunt Liu's house also set off firecrackers this time.

Those two strings of cannons gathered together, and the people who exploded panicked.

Qiao Lianlian waited for the gunfire to stop before going to see Gu Ge, for fear that she would be frightened.

Who knew that the little girl was not only not afraid, but stared outside very curiously, as if she was about to let go.

Qiao couldn't laugh or cry, he stuffed a dumpling filled with pork and corn, and the little girl was distracted and began to eat quietly.

Chinese New Year is a happy time for children, and it is also a good time for adults to visit houses.

Qiao Lianlian didn't know the place where he was born and didn't like to go out, so he sent some food to Aunt Liu's house and paid New Year's greetings.

Gu Shao, on the other hand, was obviously a native of the Gu family village, but he only visited Mrs. Gu and his aunt for a while, and never went out again.

On the contrary, when he came back from Lijiacun, he carried a lot of things.

Qiao Lianlian went over to have a look, most of them were steamed buns, steamed buns, and some croquettes, sugar cakes and other things.

She suddenly felt teasing, "What? That cousin of yours specially gave it to you?"

Gu Shao looked at her sullenly.

Do you have no idea who to give it to?

Obviously, Li Chunhua has repeatedly told her that these are all for her sister-in-law, and she said that she will get them if there is not enough food. Where was he mentioned?

But he will not say these words.

Never say it, never say it if you kill him.

In the evening, the family began to make dumplings.

The fillings have been adjusted long ago, and the noodles are ready, but there is nothing to do to keep the year old, so the whole family can participate in making dumplings.

A few clumsy children rubbed their faces, and it turned out to be a long dumpling. Even Gu Shao and Gu Cheng couldn't handle the soft dough. After pinching a few, his forehead was sweating.

On the other hand, Bisong, with his ingenuity and dexterity, learned several times from Qiao Lian, and even managed to pass the test.

No wonder some people say that a person who loves food usually cooks decent food.

It was dark at night, Qiao Lianlian made the last dumpling, found a place to store it safely, and took a few pieces of dumpling wrappers to seal the knife edge, shovel mouth, etc.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Gu Que, as a caring big padded jacket, was busy following Qiao Lianlian without hesitation. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help asking.

"No knife or shovel is allowed three days before the Chinese New Year." Qiao Lilian said with a smile, "It's sealed like this, so it can't be used until the fourth day of the lunar new year."

"Ah, what are we going to eat these days?" Gu Que felt novelty and at the same time was very surprised.

"Eat dumplings." Qiao Lianlian couldn't help rubbing the eldest daughter's head, "Don't worry, I've already prepared something to eat."

It is cold in winter and things can be put away, so she has already made a lot of food and put them away.

Only then did Gu Que feel relieved and busy with her mother.

Outside, Gu Shao found a thick and long wooden stick and blocked it at the gate.

Commonly known as blocking the God of Wealth, I am afraid that the God of Wealth will run out of the house.

After all this is done, just light the candles and wait quietly for twelve o'clock to arrive.

Maybe it's relaxation after busy work, or maybe it's waiting for the arrival of the New Year with great concentration.

During this long but short half hour, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were either sparkling or full of memories.

The only ones who are not in the mood are probably the youngest three children.

Twelve o'clock, the new year arrives.

Firecrackers were set off in every household, and the sound was like thunder, both to send off and to welcome the new year.

Suddenly, someone outside set off fireworks.

The beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky, blooming the most beautiful moment.

Qiao Lianlian, Gu Shao, and several children all looked up and smiled.

In Xieyang County, Han Zhao and Han Mu also looked up at the sky.

In Xiyang Town, shopkeeper Hu also stroked his beard to admire the beautiful fireworks.

Thousands of miles away, in an attic built of red bricks and green tiles, a man under 30 years old, with a white face and beardless, and a light yellow suit, also raised his head and looked at the gorgeous fiery trees and silver flowers in the sky.
