Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 118 Absolutely Unbearable!
Chapter 120 The third is absolutely unbearable!
That is, Liang Yuzhong's family still has to hand over 30 taels of silver to the old Liang's family every year. Liang Yuzhou gets married, and Liang Yumei gets married. After Yu Mei got married, Liang Yuzhong and the others changed to paying [-] taels of silver to the old Liangtou and the Tan family every year, and they didn't give up until the old couple returned to the west after a hundred years!

Finally, under everyone's witness, Liang Yuzhong and the old Liang's family officially separated and lived separately, and even wrote a document or something.

This day passed quickly, and after returning to the Westinghouse, the mothers felt very relaxed.The offering of 30 taels of silver a year, according to the current conditions of Jinxi's family, is completely affordable, so the mothers did not feel the overwhelming pressure, and they were full of expectations for a new life.

When I woke up, I opened my eyes and it was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

The female family members of the old Liang's family, except for Liang Yumei, all under the leadership of Tan Shi, carried out meticulous sweeping work on the front house, backyard and every corner of the old Liang's house.

Because Sun is pregnant, Jin Xi told her not to do things like climbing and bending over frequently, but even so, Sun, who is quick in hands and feet, is far better than Jin, who is procrastinating and lazy Bad Young.

Liang Jinlan is exactly the same as Yang's, basically setting up one. Tan asked Liang Jinlan to clean the courtyard, and the drain in the courtyard was blocked by her cleaning. Yang's over there was responsible for cleaning the shrines and ancestral tablets of the old Liang's family. There is also dust everywhere, and the ancestral tablet is placed crookedly.

Mrs. Tan was so angry that she couldn't open her face. She scolded this and that. In contrast, Mrs. Sun's work was the best and the most satisfying to her, but this satisfaction was hidden deep in Mrs. Tan's heart , it is absolutely impossible to show it, because in her opinion, there is no best, only better, which should not be praised!

Before lunch, Liang Yulin and the others excitedly brought the ten catties of pork home, Liang Liqing and Liang Libai excitedly followed behind and clapped their hands happily.

During the New Year in the farmers in this area, the most fashionable thing is to pickled cured goods, such as bacon, sausage, chicken and duck.

The backyard of Lao Liang's house was basically empty. Lao Liangtou originally planned to buy two chickens, but it happened that Sun's natal family brought two fat chickens and ducks, which were also waxed, which happened to save a crop.

The lunch was also hastily eaten. In the afternoon, Mrs. Tan began to arrange for people to prepare the dishes for the Chinese New Year and the first month of the year. This part is basically the work of the female relatives. The men are only responsible for purchasing, and there is nothing wrong with transporting these materials home.

So, after lunch, Liang Yuju slept in the house, Liang Yulin went to the next door to touch cards, Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou brothers were called by the old Liangtou to clean up the small warehouse where the grain was stored at home.

Unlike previous years when the warehouse was full, this year the warehouse is basically empty, but the mouse holes and mouse droppings in the corners have to be well blocked and cleaned up.

In the back yard, a table in the dining hall was brought out, with a cutting board, kitchen knife and oil and salt seasoning on it.Tan stood aside and directed the three daughter-in-laws to turn around. Under the wall not far behind her, Liang Yumei was sitting on a chair with a backrest. The chair was covered with soft cushions. .

Mrs. Sun is good at knives, and she is a master in the kitchen area. Even though the family is separated this year, it still hurts Xi, Mrs. Tan still appoints her to be the chef.

Originally, Jin Xi was worried that Mrs. Sun would feel uncomfortable smelling the smell of the raw pork, so she wanted to take her place in the battle, but Mrs. Sun stopped her.

"It was unprecedented that I was hit by the smell of eggs that day. When my mother was pregnant with you and Rou'er, she didn't respond at all. Don't worry, I can still make these Chinese New Year dishes!" Sun told her in this way. Jin Xi said, this is also the last time to celebrate the New Year with Lao Liang's family, Sun only wants to finish this year in peace and stability, and doesn't want to cause any troubles.

Jin Xi knew what Sun was thinking, so she had no choice but to follow her, but she was not idle, as Sun was cooking vegetables in the yard, she was on the sidelines helping Sun, ready to take care of her at any time.

Jin Xi saw the materials on the big table in the yard, as well as those in the vegetable baskets on the ground. Compared with Sun Yuxia's family's materials for this year's Chinese New Year, the old Liang's family's New Year's Eve must be considered tight.

The whole family is the master who can eat, the pork is only ten catties, and the fat is about half a finger thick.

Tan first gave Liang Jinlan a half-basket of potatoes to peel, and then pulled a long bunch of garlic for Jinxi to peel. Jinrou was the last one, and she was given the task of grinding ginger.

"Old man, take the pork apart, cut off the pig skin and don't throw it away, then separate the fat and lean meat, cut the fat meat into hob pieces, don't move the lean meat, wait for me!" Tan said. Shi ordered.

Mrs. Sun let out an 'ah' and got busy with her work.Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tan urged Mrs. Yang to go to the stove to set up a hot pot, and asked Mrs. Jin to prepare to boil lard and deep-fry the pork skin.

Everyone got busy step by step, Mrs. Tan looked here and there, Mrs. Sun quickly cut off the pig skin and fat, and sent them to the kitchen. The smell of boiled lard soon came from the kitchen. Tan ran around in the yard and inside and outside the kitchen, directing from both sides.

"Mother, what should I do with these lean meats?" Mrs. Sun consulted Mrs. Tan. According to the practice of previous years, some lean meats should be braised in soy sauce, and some should be marinated.

Jin Xi knows that during Chinese New Year in this area, or when there are important events or entertaining distinguished guests, there will be a signature dish: meatballs and meat pies.

It takes a lot of effort to make meatballs and meatloaf.

But even if the family is not very good, they are usually reluctant to eat it, so they have to make some meatballs and patties during the Chinese New Year to satisfy the occasion and satisfy the children's cravings. This is the most tempting thought all year round.

Therefore, Mrs. Sun must consult Mrs. Tan about the arrangement of lean meat.Jin Xi visually inspected the lean meat on the chopping board, it should not exceed four catties at most, no matter what to do, it should be tight enough.

Mrs. Tan just came out of the house to brew a bowl of warm brown sugar water for Liang Yumei. Hearing the sound, she came to the table, glanced at the small pile of lean meat on the chopping board on the table, frowned and said: " What's the matter, how did you cut the meat? Why is there so little skin left? How does it work?"

Sun was slightly startled, and the tearful Jin Xi who was peeling the garlic was even more speechless, so she heard Sun say: "Mother, I cut it just as you said, this pig is very fat, remove the skin and The fat behind the half finger on the top, the rest is all here."

"Divide the lean meat into two halves, sprinkle half with salt and dry it, and chop the rest into meatballs!" Mrs. Tan ordered, but she obviously didn't believe Mrs. Sun, and her eyes went straight to Mrs. Sun's. The sleeves were slanted, and Jin Xi next to her could see clearly. Mrs. Tan wanted to see if Mrs. Sun had hidden meat in her sleeves.

Jin Xi thought it was a bit ridiculous, even though they officially separated last night, the four members of Liang Yuzhong's family still squeezed into the West Room, and there was no small stove built, so why did the Sun family steal meat?You can't eat it raw, right?Tan's thoughts are so heavy that Jin Xi is really speechless.

"Mother, my eyes are a little hot, wipe off the veil in your sleeve!" Jin Xi said suddenly.

"Hey, okay, mother will wipe it off for you!" Sun Shi said, hurriedly pulled out a half-worn handkerchief from his sleeve, and leaned down slightly to wipe Jinxi's eyes, so that the scene in her sleeve will be more convenient Tan inspected it.

"Squeamish!" Mrs. Tan muttered, and urged Mrs. Sun to chop up the lean meat quickly, then turned around and walked to the kitchen.

"Xi'er, are you feeling better? Why don't you go wash your hands and rest for a while, the garlic will be peeled later, and Rou'er's ginger won't be ground!" Sun looked at the two girls distressedly, and said.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll help Rou'er grind the ginger after I peel it, hurry up and chop the meat, I'll use the milk later!" Jin Xi said with a smile.

"Didn't you just say that your eyes are hot and uncomfortable? Mom, let me blow it to you?" Sun was still struggling with this problem, Jin Xi was helpless, and glanced at the bottom of the wall over there, Liang Yumei finished drinking the brown sugar water, and then Dozing off there, Jinxi stood on tiptoe and approached Sun's ear, and told what happened just now. When Sun heard what she said, she shook her head helplessly, sighed, didn't say anything, and continued to chop lean meat went.

Jin Xi knew that these minced lean meats were used to make meatballs. In the last few days at Ga Po's house, Jin Xi and Sun Yuxia had already made meatballs and patties.

These minced lean meat must be mixed with minced ginger to remove the fishy smell, and sweet potato powder is added to enhance the stickiness and smooth taste, and then kneaded into meatballs the size of glutinous rice balls.

These meatballs can be used to make soup with green vegetables, but they can't be kept for a long time. If you want to keep them until the first month, you have to fry these raw meatballs in an oil pan until they are seven mature.

When Mrs. Sun had roughly chopped the lean meat, Mrs. Tan came out from the kitchen, holding a small earthen basin in her hand, with water swaying in it.

Mrs. Sun hurried over to give her a hand, took the pot from Mrs. Tan, and said, "Mother, this lean meat is ready, do you think we should make meatballs?"

Mrs. Tan glanced at the small pile of minced meat, and said, "What's the rush? Mix the brine tofu dregs into the meat, stir well and knead them into meatballs!"

"Ah?" Mrs. Sun was a little surprised, looked at the tofu in the pot, and asked, "Mother, how much did you mix?"

Mrs. Tan gave Mrs. Sun a look, and said angrily, "This pot is full!"

"Ah?" This time it was Jin Xi who was on the side who was surprised. Meatballs are about the real thing, and maybe a couple of handfuls of tofu dregs might not taste bad, but Mrs. Jinxi raised her forehead with all the tofu dregs mixed in, God, this is a real parallel import, how can it still taste like meatballs?

"Mother, if you mix too much, the taste is not authentic. Don't talk about entertaining guests, even if a child at home bites, the mouth can tell the difference!" Sun said truthfully, besides, too much tofu scum was mixed. , It is not easy to shape when rubbing the balls.

"Don't you have eyeballs when you do things? Didn't you see that small pile of minced meat on the chopping board? How many meatballs can you knead? This big family eats, and you have four mouths. You can't do things like a fart." Use, one is more edible than the other, what do you eat without tofu residue?"

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, her heart was aggrieved, and the words of refutation came to her throat, but thinking of the discussion with Liang Yuzhong last night, and thinking that she would be truly relieved if she endured for a few more days, Mrs. Sun forcibly suppressed what she wanted to say , Stir the tofu dregs with your head buried.

Sun wanted to calm things down and spend the last few days under Tan's nose peacefully, but Jinxi next to her didn't think so.Some things can be tolerated, but some cannot!

See you tomorrow guys!
