Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 101 Preparing for the New Year's Eve Dinner

Lu Shi's mood improved after eating a plate of shrimp balls.Whatever's wrong with him!Isn't it always easy to feel flustered and short of breath?It’s not always like this, it’s better to live in the present than to worry about the future.

He licked his lips, and the lingering fragrance of shrimp balls still remained between his lips and teeth. Thinking of the woman's figure, he suddenly felt a little dry again.

"That's weird..." Lu Shi shook his head, "Could it be because of eating shrimp balls?"

Thinking of this, Lu Sanshao's face turned bitter again.I heard that some diseases should be avoided, such as spicy food, such as fish, shrimp and goose.

In this way, isn't it that many things can't be eaten?What fun is there in life!

Lu Sanshao, who was in a better mood just now, suddenly felt that the future was bleak, and he lost his energy like a dying flower.It's just that the delicious taste of the shrimp balls is still lingering in his mouth, and there is a slight sweetness in his heart, and he can't help but want to come out and dance or something, but when he thinks about the strange ailments on his body, Lu Sanshao can't help it. I can't be happy anymore.

Not to mention how much Lu Shi worried about his health here, and after Lu Erlang gave Wang Fu fish balls and shrimp balls, Wang Fu also returned some gifts, including mutton, chicken and duck, and Lu Shi resisted these things back home After telling Su Yun about the situation, Su Yun laughed, a few shrimp balls and fish balls were exchanged for so many things, it's really a good deal!
"Butler Wang is too polite..." A certain guy pretended to be embarrassed, licked his lips and said, "Then sister-in-law will make you a mutton dumpling tonight!"

"it is good!"

Several little ghosts clapped their hands, Su Yun said with a smile: "Okay, come and help sister-in-law turn up the small stove, let's make egg dumplings."

"Yeah, let's make egg dumplings, and Yuan'er wants to eat dumplings."

Looking at Lu Yuan'er's chubby face, and recalling his sallow and thin face when he first came here, Su Yun felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He squeezed the little guy's chubby face, then scratched on her little nose, and said, "You, you know how to eat as long as you are a greedy cat."

"You can't sniff your nose..." The kid Yuan'er, whose nose was pinched by Su Yun, looked dissatisfied, covered his nose and said, "Sister said sniffing would make your nose flat..."

"Pfft..." Su Yun couldn't help laughing after hearing the innocent words, "You are still a smug little person. Okay, sister-in-law won't pinch your nose in the future, hurry up with Tuan'er, Shiro and the others go to play."

"Don't go, don't go, Yuan'er should be treated as dumplings..."

"Good good!"

Su Yun smiled and took out a horse spoon from the kitchen. This is the best for making egg dumpling skins.Cut a small piece of suet, wiped it on the horse spoon with chopsticks, then put the beaten egg liquid in, rolled it in a circle, and an egg skin was ready.

Su Yun was making egg skins here, while Lu Xi'er and Lu Huan'er were making egg dumplings at the side. Wrap the minced and seasoned meat stuffing in it, pinch it slightly, and an egg dumpling is ready.

After making the egg dumplings, there are still many things to do next.Although this place is no longer the ancient Chinese world that Su Yun knew, its customs are similar to those of the previous life.

Especially in Yunzhou, not only the accent is similar to the hometown dialect of the previous life, but also the customs are similar.On the night of New Year's Eve, a table of food must be set up to worship the ancestors.

The dishes for offering sacrifices to ancestors are also exquisite.Of course, in previous years, the family did not have much ability to buy land. When the family was in its best condition, it was often served with a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of tofu, and a fish.

But now that Su Yunfu is behind him, relying on the knowledge he learned in his previous life to quickly make a fortune, and fought a beautiful turnaround this year, it is natural to report this kind of thing to his ancestors.

Therefore, I set up a table according to the appearance of the upper class people here.

This first dish is naturally in accordance with the tradition. Although it is not precious, it is an indispensable dish for offering sacrifices to ancestors on New Year's Eve.

The bean dreg cake shaped into a round biscuit is fried in an oil pan until both sides turn yellow, and then it is baked with bean sprouts. It is delicious and easy to make.

In addition to this "family head sacrifice", cakes, fruits, three animals (pig's head, carp, rooster), vegetarian dishes and wine are also indispensable.

Su Yun took care of the pig's head last night, removing all the inedible debris such as earrings, corners of the eyes, lymph nodes, nasal cartilage, etc. As for the pig's brain, he took it out and prepared to give it to everyone in the evening It is also very delicious to make pig brain stewed tofu!
It is still troublesome to make this pork head meat. Fortunately, the pork has been preliminarily processed last night, and now it can be cooked after blanching the water.

Naturally, the pig's head meat used for sacrificing ancestors cannot be cut into small pieces, so last night when Su Yun processed the pig's head meat, he spent a lot of effort to make it complete. Otherwise, the pig's head would be split into pieces. "Disrespectful"?
Put the pig's head in a large pot to cook, skim off the froth, add fried brown sugar to color the sugar, then add cooking wine, soy sauce, and salt to cook slowly; taking advantage of this gap, take a small A piece of gauze, wrap star anise, peppercorns, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, onion and ginger and throw them into the pot. After the pot boils, you can change to medium and low heat and cook slowly.

The pork head meat needs to be stewed for a long time, but because of the addition of various spices, it is mixed with the smell of meat and wafts throughout the house. The little devil's head is hooked and drools. The sister-in-law's dishes are really delicious Yes, just by smelling it, they all feel like they are in heaven.

Seeing the slanderous expressions of the little ghost heads, Su Yun would always be amused.The satisfied smiles of the children are now her greatest spiritual sustenance in this world.

Without the company of these lovely children, Su Yun really doesn't know how she would survive in this foreign world.

"Okay, okay, don't hang around here, the New Year's Eve dinner is almost ready, let's go outside and paint."

"Hey, sister-in-law..."

Hearing that the highest official in the family gave orders, the children all lined up, picked up the limes they had prepared earlier, and prepared to paint New Year pictures on the door.

This is a unique custom here in Yunzhou. Every New Year’s Eve, every household will paint rice hoards, painted vases, painted fish, knives, halberds, bows and arrows on the open space in front of their houses, in order to pray for a full stock of white rice and more than enough wealth in the coming year. Avoid disasters and keep safe.

In the world of his previous life, Su Yun didn't know that there was such a custom in his hometown, and he had never heard of it. It must be a unique custom in this world, this Yunzhou.However, seeing how well-drawn by the little devils at home, Su Yun looked at his own drawing, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: This girl is not good at art!
