After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

New Year's Eve is here.

There were no horse bandits this year, and all the people who had served as corvees returned. There was a bumper harvest in the autumn, and there was a water mill in the village, and many people earned wages.

During the twelfth lunar month, everyone bought pigs to kill together and stocked up until New Year's Eve. Finally, they no longer had to endure it. All the good meat and vegetables were brought out. The smell of meat wafted from every house, making the children salivate.

Early in the morning, Jinbao Jinhua came over to deliver tofu to Qin Yao's family. He and Zhang made it using the soybeans harvested from the fields this year. The bean flavor was particularly strong.

What Liu Ji asked Dalang to buy before was far inferior to what Laozhai made himself.

Early this morning, Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up to make tofu. Jinbao covered it with a bowl and wrapped it with a layer of gauze and brought it over. Liu Ji opened the bowl and it was still steaming.

Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang, come and eat beancurd with me! Jin Bao shouted in the courtyard at the top of his lungs.

Jinhua looked at him with disgust, thinking that he was just like her grandmother said, noisy!

The little girl came into the main room. Qin Yao had just gotten up and was washing up. There was a bowl of meat wontons brought by Liu Ji on the table. She went up to smell it and her eyes lit up.

Third Aunt, do you have wontons for breakfast? The little girl walked up behind Qin Yao and asked curiously, trying her best to pretend not to care, but she couldn't help but glance at the table.

Qin Yao still doesn't know her?

Putting down the washcloth, he turned around and tapped the little girl's forehead, You can eat if you want.

Jinhua immediately smiled and said, Thank you, Third Aunt, but I've already had breakfast. I'll try it. I'll try one.

She tried her best to stretch out a finger to show that she really just wanted to taste it.

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, she happily sat down at the table, scooped one out with a spoon, blew it to cool it, swallowed it in one gulp, and narrowed her eyes, It's so delicious!

She said she would eat just one, put down her spoon, gave her seat to Qin Yao, and said, I'll ask Si Niang to come to my house to eat beancurd. Third aunt, do you want it?

Qin Yao waved her hand, No, you can eat it, I don't like it.

I love it! Liu Ji rolled out the dough while filling it with meat stuffing. The meat stuffing was filled with minced beef in soy sauce, and when cooked in a pot, it was delicious.

Everyone in the family, mother and son, had already eaten, and he was the last to cook.

But there is one final benefit in the end, that is, he can put all the remaining meat filling into his own bowl and add an extra handful of green vegetables to go with it.

Qin Yao's portion was also the version with added ingredients. After eating one, she immediately put the second one in her mouth. It was so delicious that she didn't even think about talking.

Jinhua, your uncle and I love to eat beancurd. It's so sweet. Dalang, bring a bowl back to daddy! He said, pointing to the cupboard, and asked Dalang to come over and get a bowl to serve it.

Jinbao's happy face immediately stiffened, and his grandmother left a small pot of bean curd for them, saying it was for the children to eat. If the third uncle brought such a big bowl, they wouldn't be able to eat it!

So, while the children were on their way to the old house, Jinbao kept telling Erlang, We don't have enough to eat ourselves. Don't serve it to Third Uncle. Just say there's nothing left and it's gone.

Erlang chuckled, Okay!

Let's eat more ourselves. Saburo added, thinking of the softness of the tofu pudding, he couldn't help but lick his mouth.

Seeing his greedy look, Jinbao said angrily: Why didn't you call me when you were eating wontons in the morning?

Sanlang opened his clear eyes and said innocently: Brother Jinbao, I forgot.

Jinbao was so angry that he wanted to hit him on the head, but Dalang stretched out his hand to stop him.

Just protect the calf! Jinbao glared at Dalang angrily, but he couldn't beat him in a fight, so he could only turn around and look for Erlang.

Dalang asked them to watch the road and not fall down and soil their new clothes.

Several people responded in agreement, and Siniang and Jinhua walked cautiously, looking at the identical embroidery on the shoes, hehehehehehehehe.

Liu Ji had breakfast at home and was waiting for the beancurd for dessert. As a result, the four men came back and brought him half a bowl of soybeans.

Where's the tofu pudding? Where's my sweet tofu pudding? Liu Ji asked in shock.

Dalang stuffed the beans into his arms. Erlang wiped a piece of bean curd stuck to the corner of his mouth and said nonsensically: It's not enough. Grandma gave him half a bowl of soybeans and said you want to eat them yourself.

Oh, by the way, it tastes good when added to bone soup as a soup base. Aren't we having hot pot tonight? Dad, why don't you just add it to the soup as a base? It will definitely taste good. Erlang added hurriedly.

Liu Ji looked at the beans in the bowl, then at the four 'filial sons' in front of him, and almost couldn't help but give Da Lang Erlang a slap on the butt.

However, since Qin Yao was lying down to eat behind him, it was not easy for him to have an attack. He took the two older ones to the kitchen and gave them work to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

The meatballs have been fried before, and the tofu is there, but it needs to be cut into pieces and fried in oil first, so that it will not rot easily when cooked and will be more delicious.

Liu Ji pulled over the wild goat that was tied next to the stable. He was holding a knife and was at a loss as to what to do.

Looking at her with pitiful eyes asking for help, Qin Yao showed compassion, stood up and walked over, waving her hand, Go get a basin, boil water and pluck out the hair.

He also told the twins who were standing by the door of the hall to watch, Go in and close the door. Children should not watch such bloody scenes, as they may have nightmares.

Sanlang and Si Niang said oh and hid in the house obediently.

When a pig was being slaughtered in the village, a group of children ran over to watch out of curiosity. However, Qin Yao didn't notice any of them. When they came back, all three of the four children had nightmares.

After Mrs. Zhang found out about this, she dragged Qin Yao and went to the neighboring village without saying a word. She found a blind woman who burned three eggs and came back, saying that if she gave them to her children, they would stop having nightmares.

Qin Yao still didn't believe it, but the day after eating the eggs, Erlang and the twins slept peacefully and no longer had nightmares.

Ms. Zhang was very satisfied, Look, I'll tell you that the blind woman is the most clever. If you still don't believe me, just fight with me.

Qin Yao: Ah this. When in doubt, turn to metaphysics. The ancients do not deceive me!

Dalang and Liu Ji both stayed in the courtyard, watching Qin Yao kill the sheep with quick movements.

The boiling water was in place, and the father and son were responsible for plucking the hair. After cleaning, Qin Yao was responsible for disemboweling the body.

She suddenly wanted to eat mutton rolls, but the weather was not good. It didn't snow and there was no natural refrigerator to freeze the soft meat. It was not easy to cut the soft meat into paper-thin slices.

But driven by the delicious food, Qin Yao still pulled out her stainless steel dagger and slowly sliced ​​the meat on the chopping board.

Although it is not as thin as modern paper, it is still no problem if it is as thin as the yellow paper commonly used here.

The small kitchen where the candlesticks were lit was filled with the silver light flashing from the sword, so beautiful that Liu Ji and Da Lang almost went blind.

The bloodiest stage was over, and Erlang, Sanlang and Siniang were allowed to come to the kitchen.

One moment I looked at the mutton bone soup being cooked in front of my dad, and the next moment I came to my grandma and looked at the plates of mutton slices cut as thin as paper, and I didn’t know how many times I swallowed my saliva.

Finally, Qin Yao lit a bunch of firecrackers and threw them into the courtyard. Amidst a burst of galloping, the New Year's Eve dinner was served.

A family of six had the most sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner ever.
