When we get up in the morning, breakfast is set on the table, and the whole family gets together for breakfast.

There are so many things to do in the past two days, so Mr. Chen didn't go to herd cattle anymore. He just carried two bundles of corn stalks or two handfuls of grain to feed the cattle, and added some from time to time, and rushed to feed the water in the evening.

The breakfast is red potato porridge, accompanied by a pot of sauerkraut jelly. The jelly cooked with sauerkraut is completely different from the jelly that was just released yesterday. This one is smoother than hot jelly and is more resistant to bite.

After picking up chopsticks and sauerkraut, Xiaoxi took a big mouthful of porridge while looking at Mr. Chen, he spoke carefully, "Grandpa, I think we have so many ingredients, such as fish, shrimp, etc., and there is a lot of oil anyway, why don't we get more tricks this year?"

When Mr. Chen thought, he was also there, so many things were placed. Besides, the space in the stream was still being produced, so he really couldn't treat himself badly, so he nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, do more."

"Hehe, why do you say that you have worked hard for a year this year? In the end, you have to reward yourself well?" Xiaoxi said jokingly as Mr. Chen and Grandma Chen.

"Hahaha, yes." Grandma Chen agreed.

Speaking of eating, Chen Yubin was excited. He blinked and looked at Xiaoxi and said, "Sister, what are we going to do?"

Xiaoxi put down the chopsticks, rubbed his chin, and spoke very seriously: "Well~ I still have to make those I have done in previous years. We have no shortage of fish and meat. We can make some fish balls, fish tofu, etc., fried shrimps, fried red potato balls, and we have dried some dates, so we can make some date cakes. Let's look at the ingredients and think about them again. Anyway, there are still two days left."

Twenty-eight is going to go shopping. There is no twenty-nine this year, so it’s just New Year’s Eve.

Mr. Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll make these first, and I'll have time left. Then I'll make whatever I think of. But, Xiaoxi, what are fish balls and fish tofu? We haven't seen them before, and I don't know how to make them."

Xiaoxi patted his chest and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I've seen what others do. I will, and I will tell you later."

"That's OK." Mr. Chen nodded. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten food, he said to Grandma Chen: "You have cleaned up, go wash the dishes, and we'll cut the fish."

Grandma Chen didn't say much, but picked up the dishes and chopsticks. These two days are the time to be busy, and everyone has no time to spare.

Holding the basin and scissors, the three of them went out and squatted by the wall to start cutting the fish.

This is how I explained to Grandma Chen about the live fish and shrimps at home. The jade pendant on Chen Yubin is a bit different from theirs. He can pretend to be a living thing, but he can still live when he takes it out. Although Grandma Chen was very envious, she had nothing to say about her beloved grandson. Even if she asked her to give the bracelet to her beloved grandson, she would be willing.

Xiaoxi took out five large grass carp and threw it into the basin. The three of them started to work. Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin scraped the fish scales, removed the fish gills, and Mr. Chen took out the fish internal organs.

After a while, I finished hanging the scales and gills, and waited for Mr. Chen to break his stomach. Thinking that the fish balls and fish tofu were delicious, the fish balls were cooked in hot pot, and the fish tofu sliced ​​and soup were also very delicious. Xiaoxi said to Mr. Chen: "Grandpa, why don't we make more at once? Anyway, it won't break in the space. When my aunt and the others come back, you can pick up some and take them back to taste."

Mr. Chen didn't put his hands empty, so he carefully cut the fish belly with scissors, and said indifferently: "Okay, anyway, one is also done, two is done, so just do more to avoid wasting our time."

"Hey!" Xiaoxi smiled and took out more than ten more grass carp.

After getting these more than 20 grass carp, they filled a large pot. Mr. Chen took them back to the house, carried a hoe and dug a big hole next to the vegetable garden, burying the scales, gills and internal organs of the fish.

After packing up and going back to the house, the fish had been washed by Grandma Chen and others. They also chopped off the fish head and tail and put them in half a basin. They could simmer the soup and drink it slowly in the future or eat it with sauerkraut fish.

"Grandpa, I'm waiting for you, haha..." Seeing Mr. Chen enter the house, Xiaoxi hurriedly gave up his seat and gave Mr. Chen to the center of the chopping board.

Mr. Chen washed his hands with soap, stood up, picked up the kitchen knife, looked at Xiaoxi, and signaled her to start.

Xiaoxi hurriedly pointed to the fish in the basin and said, "Grandpa, take a fish first." Seeing that Mr. Chen did as he did, she continued, "Well~ cut the fish half first... Yes, I have to remove the big bones of the fish. Grandpa, your knife is a little flat, be careful, and the fish bones must be cleaned... Master, I have to remove the fish skin as well, this is not necessary... Then Master, you are like this, specifically taking the big bones and fish skin of the fish."

Seeing that Mr. Chen didn't say anything, he picked up another fish and started to remove the fish bones. Xiaoxi turned to find the cutting board and a slightly focused kitchen knife and handed it to Grandma Chen.

"Mother-in-law, there are small thorns on this fish, so you can go to small thorns."

Grandma Chen took the cutting board and kitchen knife and turned to the dining table, pulled a stool and sat down casually.

Xiaoxi picked up the small basin containing a few slices of fish on the chopping board and replaced it with a new one for Mr. Chen. He placed the basin on the dining table and took out a piece of fish and spread it on the chopping board. "Mama, just chop the fish with the back of the knife, just like chopping the meat filling."

"Oh~ Then this is simple, I have a way to do it." It sounds like this simple job, I can't do it myself with fine food, but I still have the strength to pull off my sleeves and start chopping up the fish meat "dongdong".

Xiaoxi stood by and watched for a while, and saw that her mother-in-law was still doing such a good job, and she was very excited. Everything was going on without any frost.

Feeling that his sleeve was being pulled down, Xiaoxi turned his head and saw his younger brother pouting, looking at her with a grievance, "Sister~ Then what am I doing?"

Xiaoxi was funny. Others were afraid that there was work to do and were happy to be idle. But he was still trying to do it. So he twisted his nose in a slight way and said unhappily: "Don't worry, if you have your work, how can you be idle?"

So he found two basins and two knives and pulled Chen Yubin out.

Because there is little rain in winter, the flow is stopped, and the residue is settled, and the water in these two small puddles appears cleaner.

"Sister, why are you here?" Chen Yubin said dissatisfied. In the middle of winter, it is not good to roast the house and you have to come out. Although the temperature has risen a little in the past two days, it is still cold.

Seeing him pouting, Xiaoxi knew that he was unhappy and said angrily: "Aren't you going to help?"

"Can you do it in the house? Look at my hands..." Chen Yubin raised his two claws, "It's still red."

The two little claws were red, which was very pitiful. They were frozen by the fish just now.

"We have washed a lot of things, so isn't it a problem to get water... Then you get hawthorn, I'll wash it." As he said that, he started to demonstrate a hawthorn core, and then handed the knife to Chen Yubin and asked him to try it. Seeing that he was doing something pretty, Xiaoxi let go.

I took out a few pieces of ginger, picked up another knife, scraped it off carefully, and washed it a little in the puddle. The water was really cool, so the stream speeded up its movements. If I couldn't, I just scraped the skin and cleaned it.

I took out a handful of onions from the space and chose it, washed it, and put it in a basin with ginger.

The onions here are green onions, and Xiaoxi and the others only plant green onions here. Like Grandma Chen and the others have never seen them, and they have never even heard of them.

After washing the onions, I took out some red potatoes to clean. Because they were produced in space, there were no insect eyes or something, and they were red potatoes that were made of mental power, so there was nothing to be damaged. It was all the whole thing, so it was easy to wash. After a while, I washed a full basin.

After Xiaoxi stopped, she saw that Chen Yubin had already made half a basin, so she quickly picked up the knife and helped her get to the hawthorn core. Because it was too cold, both of them were moving very quickly. Seeing that it was almost finished, Xiaoxi put down the knife and began to clean the hawthorn.

After washing the hawthorn, the siblings each took a basin and hurried home. Put down the basin, and they came to the fire and roasted until they were hot before they got up.

After the silence and the others went to the water pit to wash things, Grandpa Chen had already cut off all the twenty large grass carp and removed the big fish bones. Now he was helping Grandma Chen chop the fish mud.

The meatballs are called Yuanzi in Xiaoxi. They are purely hand-chopped and the tip of the knife is also chopped out by two hands and two knives. In the past, people used to hold banquets, but they made them themselves. Mr. Chen asked many people to ask for help with the meat paste. Therefore, this technique is not blown, and the knife speed is fast. When the knife is raised and falls, it does not take away a piece of meat scraps. It can only be heard "get it" and is very rhythmic.

Xiaoxi quickly took out the onion at the bottom of the basin, and handed it to Grandpa Chen with the green onion and ginger, and asked him to chop it into pieces. He pulled Chen Yubin to sit down at the table and started helping.

Because the two heavy knives at home were used to chop fish mud in Mr. Chen's hand, a kitchen knife was used to chop small fish bones in Grandma Chen's hand, while Chen Yubin and Xiaoxi had only two small knives, so they changed their strategy and used small knives to scrape the fish meat.

Because the fish bones are small and transparent, the scraped fish meat is spread flat and then pulled with a knife one or two centimeters to remove the fish bones.

Grandma Chen found that Xiaoxi and the others scraped the fish meat off relatively thin, and the fish bones were clean, but the speed was a bit slow, but it was very convenient to chop fish mud, so she should use scraping the fish meat, which saved a lot of time.

I chopped all the fish mud and put two small pots full of them.

"Master, put the fish meat in like a knife tip or a round piece." Seeing that the fish mud was ready, Xiaoxi told Mr. Chen because the flavor of the sauce was delicious.
Chapter completed!
