Chapter 74 74. Eating mutton

"Okay, I know that you two brothers are filial. We have lived in the eldest brother's house for a long time, so it's time to go live in the second brother's house," Zhou Dajiang's wife Zhou Jinshi said decisively. She is a sensible person.

The old lady is also a wise old lady. Xiao Zhou Jin, the wife of Zhou Daye, is a cousin of the fifth server. She was a good little sister before she got married. Naturally, she is happy to marry her and become an in-law.

"Mom," Zhou Guitang opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but she glared back. It was Zhou Guitang's wife, Zhou Sunshi, who said that it would be okay for her parents to go live with the second son's house for a while, and then they could come back when they had enough.

The house was left for them to allow Zhou Guitang to calm down.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Guitang took his old wife and his eldest son's family back, and the eldest Jin family also went back. She had to pack up the clothes of the old couple, and then asked her eldest grandson to be sent to her second son's house.

After all, they will live in the second son's house from now on.

Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Daye chatted about their daily life, and the others naturally followed suit, chiming in a few words from time to time. The atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious and friendly. The big Zhou Jin family (hereafter called Grandma Zhou, and the younger Zhou Jin family)

Grandma Zhou) It’s about the same distance

In half an hour, she took Zhou Mingfa and his son, Zhou Guitang's son and grandson, with her and his wife's luggage to the second room of the Zhou family. After putting down the luggage, Grandma Zhou drove her eldest grandson and great grandson home.

, and went to Lin's house by himself.

Lin Qingxi did not participate in the elders' chat, but went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. As for Zhou Mingming and Lin Qingping, Lin Qingxi sent them to hunt in the mountains.

There was not much meat left in the cellar. The dried chicken and rabbit that had been saved before were all eaten, leaving only the wild boar meat left over from the three wild boars that were hunted a few days ago.

Although there was a lot of meat in her space, Lin Qingxi was not going to tell anyone about the existence of the space. In order to have meat to eat next, she had no choice but to send Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming out to hunt.

Lin Qingxi took out three braised pig heads from the cellar. As for the remaining pig offal and ribs, she also took out the bones. Lin Qingxi cut the pig head meat and pig offal, and then went to the backyard to pick some.

Bring back some peppers, onions and ginger, wash them and cut them into pieces for later use.

Then, Lin Qingxi took out three radishes and three potatoes from the cellar, as well as two cabbages, and five kilograms of cornmeal.

When she came to the kitchen, Lin Qingxi mixed the cornmeal first, put it aside to let it rest, and then went to prepare the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, help me chop these ribs into pieces, chop the big stick bones in half, and cut these onions, ginger and peppers. I'll go and take care of the lamb legs. How about we eat the lamb legs tonight?"

Lin Qingxi specially took out the leg of lamb that she had saved for the New Year. Anyway, Lin Qingping could stay at home for a while and let him go hunting in the mountains. The family would not be afraid of running out of meat.

"Okay! You do it! I'll help you," Xu Lin was self-aware and knew that her cooking skills were not satisfactory compared to her younger sister, and she had no intention of being a chef, but she could still help.

With Xu Lin's approval, Lin Qingxi dug out the lamb legs from the snowdrift in the yard, and also took out a few lamb ribs. After cleaning them, Lin Qingxi chopped the lamb legs into pieces and blanched them in water.

Then pour oil into the pot, add ginger slices and stir-fry the mutton, then pour in the hot water from the copper kettle and start stewing the mutton.

After stewing the mutton, the big stick bones were not going to be eaten at night, but Lin Qingxi planned to stew them in the coal stove before going to bed at night and cook noodles for breakfast tomorrow morning.

After Lin Qingxi simmered the mutton for more than half an hour, she threw the cut radishes into the pot and continued to stew. She told Xu Lin to watch the fire and went to work in the cellar.

Because Lin Qingping and Xu Lin had also gone down to the cellar, she did not dare to take out the food in the space to replenish it, so this time she went down to see how much food was left in the cellar and whether she could finish it for the New Year. If it was not enough

I had to go to the city to replenish the food supply.

Lin Qingxi checked the food in the entire cellar one by one. There were still a lot of dried vegetables, and then there were coarse grains. There was not much fine grains. There were less than ten kilograms of white flour, only three or four kilograms of cornmeal, and only about a dozen eggs.

, there is also a pack of dried noodles, all packed in a pound.

Then there is meat. Only the wild boar, dried chicken and dried rabbit that were hunted a few days ago are all eaten. Then there is half a fan of mutton and a few mutton chops left in the snowdrift in the yard. Then there are five bottles of chili sauce.

, two kilograms per bottle, three bottles of mushroom sauce, also two kilograms per bottle, five bottles of meat sauce and jam, two kilograms per bottle, and the others are dried mushrooms, dried fungus, red dates and other non-staple foods.

Lin Qingxi finished tidying up the cellar and went up. After she went up, she washed her hands and went to see how the mutton was stewed. As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the smell of meat came out. She rubbed it with chopsticks and it was already cooked.

, but it hasn’t reached the point of taking off the bones yet, so I plan to stew it for a while.

Lin Qingxi and Xu Lin prepared the cornmeal steamed buns and placed them directly on the back steamer in a basket. There were few people eating at night, so the space in the three-layer basket was more than enough.

After the steamed buns were steamed, Lin Qingxi came to the coal stove, turned on the coal stove, cleaned the small iron pot, stir-fried the braised pork head meat and peppers together, and then fried the pig intestines and pig lungs with the peppers.

I fried it in a pot, sliced ​​the pork heart and liver, put it on the plate with some sauce and put it aside.

After washing the pot again, Lin Qingxi fried the cabbage and shredded potatoes. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past five o'clock, and the sky outside was getting darker. She quickly called the Lin Yizheng brothers over to serve the dishes.

, and asked Xiang Yijing and his brother to set the dishes and chopsticks.

Even though there were few people in the evening, two tables were set up, one for adults and one for children. One table couldn't fit in, so it was much more comfortable to sit at two tables. One table was in the main room, and the other was placed directly in the kitchen.

Both adults and children enjoyed the meal very happily.

"This mutton stew is authentic and has no odor at all. Girl Xi, how did you cook it?"

In the main room, Zhou Daye and Zhou Dajiang ate the most happily. The mutton stew was so good that it fell off the bones. They ate it effortlessly, and the others also ate happily.

"It's just stewed like this. First blanch the water and then stew it. Just stew it for a longer time. If it's delicious, eat more. There are many on the children's table. This pot is ours," Lin Qingxi said while eating,

She likes to eat mutton best in winter.

After hearing her words, everyone started to eat. Anyway, the children had enough to eat, so they could eat more. It was rare for them to eat some meat at home, and even if they finally had some meat, they still couldn't bear to eat it, so it was all left to them.

The children are replenishing their bodies, so most of the people present have not eaten meat for a long time.

After dinner, Lin Qingping, Lin Yizheng and his son sent the old Zhou family's first and second rooms home. The Zhou family next door went back on their own because the road was not far away, without asking them to send them away.
