I'm super cute

Chapter 213

In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since Li Wei came to this world. In the past six months, Li Wei has changed a lot.

At the beginning, she was not used to being a girl suddenly, but now she is gradually getting used to being a girl.Of course, she still can't get used to relatives like her aunt. This thing is really troublesome.

Now, Li Wei is celebrating her first Lunar New Year in this world.

For Chinese people, only the Lunar New Year is called Chinese New Year, and New Year's Day can only be regarded as an ordinary legal holiday.

Of course, Chinese New Year does not only refer to the first day of the Lunar New Year. The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year.

Therefore, Li Wei inevitably became busy.

Although it is much easier to kill livestock and grind tofu to make glutinous rice cakes than other places, it is not so easy.

……

The time axis rotates slowly, and it is New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.

New Year's Eve can be said to be the busiest day.

From noon all over the country began to prepare for the family reunion in the evening. Most people settled it hastily at noon, and waited for a full meal in the evening.

Li Wei is no exception.

Huang Yuexin went home directly. On weekdays, she could do whatever she wanted, but on New Year's Eve, she had to reunite with her family in the end.

Before leaving, it's not that she didn't invite Li Wei and sisters to go together, but Li Wei refused.

On the night of New Year's Eve, it was a time for family reunion. Why did my sisters and other outsiders go to join in the fun?Although I know Sayuri very well, and I also know her parents, but this does not mean that I can disturb their reunion on the night of the New Year's Eve.

After the loss of Sayuri, the liveliness of the house has decreased.

Although Lulu was there, Lulu was usually either holding her tablet and watching TV shows, or sitting in front of the computer playing games or watching live broadcasts. Compared to Sayuri, Lulu still seemed much quieter.

On weekdays, although Huang Yuexin has to go to work, she will decide whether to go home or not according to the business situation in the store, and she can take a nap at home from time to time.But now, compared to before, it seemed much quieter.

It's not that I feel lonely, but after getting used to being with her for a long time, her sudden departure will make people a little uncomfortable.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wei began to prepare for the reunion dinner in the evening. At the same time, she also started the live broadcast on her mobile phone.

The length of the live broadcast is something that can be mixed for a while, as long as it is enough, then the rest of the time can be fished, right?

After fixing the phone in place, Li Wei started.

Although it's New Year's Eve, there are still quite a few people watching the live broadcast, and the popularity of Li Wei's live broadcast room is rising steadily.

"Good afternoon." Putting down the kitchen knife, Li Wei said to the camera, "Isn't it New Year's Eve? I probably won't be broadcasting Chicken Dinner at night, so I'll make up for it by broadcasting the cooking for a while."

"What do you mean you don't broadcast and eat chicken? Isn't it just that you haven't eaten chicken for two days? It's normal."

"Will it be aired tomorrow? Probably, it will be broadcast tomorrow anyway, but it should be aired at night."

"For the New Year, it does take a few days. Anyway, you all have to pay New Year's greetings, so it's quite normal. I'm not sure when it will be broadcast. Let's watch it then."

After answering some barrage questions, Li Wei continued to cut the shallots on the chopping board.

The consumption of onion and garlic is quite large today, so Li Wei decided to chop them together first, and then go get other things later.

After cutting the onions and patting the garlic, Li Wei washed her hands and took out an old hen that had been prepared in advance.

The high-gloss kitchen knife made a trick in his hand, and his heart trembled when he saw the barrage, thinking that this knife technique was a bit scary.

After the old hen had been chopped piece by piece, she picked up sliced ​​ginger, soaked dried shiitake mushrooms in water, and boiled two pots of water at the same time, saying: "First stew the chicken, this dish takes time."

Soon, the oil pan was turned on when the water was hot. Li Wei first boiled the chicken and took it out, then took out the casserole, poured all the chicken, shiitake mushrooms, etc. into it, added the seasoning, poured it over and covered it Double the amount of water for the ingredients, cover the pot, and turn on the fire first.

"OK, it's done here. I'll show it to you later. Now let them stew."

The other pot of hot water was also useful. She picked up a large piece of pork belly that had been prepared in advance and put it in, preparing to cook the pork belly until it was half-cooked.

Before waiting for the meat to be cooked, Li Wei looked at the screen and said, "Guess what I'm cooking?"

Soon someone guessed the correct answer.

"That's right, it's the knuckle meat. How do you make the knuckle meat? When you slice it, do you cut it completely or leave a part uncut?"

There are many ways to tuck meat, and many different ways to cut meat have also been derived.

Some are cut from the lower part of the meat, do not cut off, and stop when the cut is almost to the skin. From the bottom, it looks like pieces, but the top is intact.There are also cuts from the skin, but they are not cut off. The bottom is connected with meat, and it looks like a piece from the top.It is also very common to cut it directly and cut it into slices of pork belly, but this kind of pork belly usually has a slice of taro or something else between the two slices of meat.

Regarding Li Wei's question, the bullet chatting responses were different. For a while, the bullet chatting averaged three Michelin-starred chefs, and began to talk about their cooking skills.

In this regard, Li Wei just smiled slightly.

The meat was cooked quickly, Li Wei fished it out, put on disposable gloves, wiped off the moisture on the skin with a clean cloth, and then touched the cooking wine while it was hot.

After doing this, she poured out the water in the pot, reheated a pot of hot oil, and put the pork belly into it and fried it until the skin turned red.

This set of procedures took nearly 10 minutes, but it was worth it, and I got a good piece of pork belly.

The process is basically over here. There are still some steps to go before the pork belly can be turned into braised pork, but it’s OK for the time being. The rest will be done when it’s almost time for dinner in the afternoon. Now do it in the evening You can only eat stale ones.

"Huh, I'm so tired."

Wiping off the sweat, although it's winter now, the temperature in the kitchen has already risen. Although Li Wei didn't wear much, she was still sweating.

"Speaking of which, who prepares the New Year's Eve dinner at home?"

"Parents, myself, and going out to eat are basically these three types. Let me see which one has more people."

Hearing this, the barrages began to brush their own answers one after another. In the sea of ​​barrages, although there were three types of barrages, the number of barrages in one of them was obviously more.

"Parents still prepare more. It seems that you are all going home for reunion, which is very good."

After chatting for a while, Li Wei continued to prepare the next dish.

I saw that she took out a cut pig's trotter, lit it up in front of the camera, and said, "Let's do this next, this beauty, the ladies who are interested in the live broadcast room can learn from me, it's quite delicious."

Although the pig's trotters don't look very good, if you know how to make them, they are really delicious. They are also rich in collagen, and the cosmetic effect is very good.

Li Wei's pig's trotters had already burnt all the hair on the surface and cut them into pieces at the same time, which saved a lot of effort.

Like the previous pork belly, after Li Wei cleaned it, blanch it, took it out, put in cooking wine and soy sauce and started marinating it.

"This will wait for a while. Let's do something else first, such as frying fish or something."

The fried fish here is literally fried fish, not to slaughter young in the game.

It takes about 30 minutes to pickle pig's trotters. Of course, it is impossible to do nothing for 30 minutes. It is necessary to do something else.

Soon, the fish was finished frying and was still kept for later use.

As soon as the counter is turned on, emmm, there are still more than ten minutes left.

"The pig's trotter still needs a little more time. My preparations are almost done. In these ten minutes or so, what should we do better?"

Although it was the New Year's Eve dinner, there were only two people in Li Wei's family eating, so she didn't plan to cook too many dishes.

Compared with other families who have to prepare the dishes for relatives who come to pay New Year's greetings on this day, Li Wei is a little more relaxed, because she does not plan to cook for these relatives. She is too tired. When someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, she will go out to eat directly .

The relationship between relatives is maintained by blood, but blood is extremely fragile in front of money.

Or other people have relatives who have a good relationship and don't care about money, but unfortunately, Li Wei doesn't have them here.

Li Wei still remembers the treatment her father suffered when she went to borrow money from relatives when she was a child.Countless blank stares and criticisms left an impression on Li Wei, who was still young at the time.

Because of this, Li Wei's father also worked harder, and finally came to the fore, and he was able to hold his head high in front of relatives.

And then, an accident, there is no more.

Now, Li Wei can support herself, and her income is considerable, but she doesn't plan to have too many interactions with her relatives.

The reason is simple, too snobbish.

Among her relatives, blood is not as important as money.

Pulling away, let's get back to the topic.

In the world of more than ten minutes, Li Wei didn't have any particularly good ideas, so she chatted with the barrage and became a good-looking anchor for a while.

This is how the anchors in the face value area are. They take a mobile phone to live broadcast, and then show their faces. I don’t know if they can sing while chatting. I haven’t seen it. Anyway, they spend their daily live broadcast time in this way.

But such a live broadcast method is unexpectedly very popular.

There is a saying in Dousha that at the beginning, you are just a knight, but after half a month or a month of watching the face value area, you are an earl or even a duke.

The young lady in the beauty zone has a strong ability to absorb money.

However, Li Wei was just a guest appearance. After chatting awkwardly with the barrage for 10 minutes, she started a new round of cooking journey.

Bring the oil to a boil, add onion, ginger and pig's trotters. After stir-frying, the pig's trotters turn into a nice golden color.

When the color is mature, Li Wei then put sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, star anise and cinnamon in it, and after continuing to stir fry, poured a ladle of water and started to burn.

When it comes to a boil, transfer it to the pressure cooker and continue to simmer.

Looking at the pressure cooker in front of her, Li Wei said: "I remember once before, I forgot where I was, and I ate a wonderful stewed pig's trotter, the kind that was stewed, and the meat didn't need to be bitten. It's all in your mouth when you inhale it, the kind that melts in your mouth, I don't know what seasoning the owner of that store put, it's super fragrant, it's so delicious that you can't stop it."

"It's a pity that it was a long time ago. I can't remember where I got it, but the taste is awesome."

When she said this, Li Wei had a look of reminiscence on her face, and she could see that the pig's trotters must be great, otherwise Li Wei would not have been nostalgic until now.

The two dishes that need to be stewed are already being stewed, and the remaining dishes are actually easier to cook.

For the New Year's Eve dinner for two people, two bowls of stew are enough, and the rest is just cooking. Stir-frying is much easier to handle than stew, so she doesn't plan to continue cooking it now.

The dishes are settled, but there is still a very important food that has not been cooked-dumplings!
As the saying goes, there is nothing more delicious than dumplings, and nothing more fun...

In short, if you don’t eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve, how can it be considered a Chinese New Year?

Compared to buying quick-frozen dumplings that are not fresh enough, Li Wei prefers to make them herself.

There is always a sense of satisfaction in eating food that you make yourself, which is something you don't get when you eat out.

Li Wei has already bought the dumpling wrappers. To be honest, they are quite cheap, 18 yuan a pack, about 200 sheets. She bought two packs, and Li Wei is ready for the stuffing.

I bought pork, beef, and mutton, and there is a machine in the vegetable market that is specially responsible for mixing meat, vegetables, etc. into stuffing. Li Wei only paid 5 yuan to let the man make stuffing for herself.

Pork is served with shallots, beef with celery, and lamb mixed with carrots.

Three different fillings were put in bowls separately. Li Wei picked up the phone, looked at the fillings for the barrage, and said: "This is pork filling, the middle one is celery and beef filling, and the next one is carrot and mutton filling. Tonight." The dumplings are made with these three kinds of fillings.”

After fixing the phone again, Li Wei put on disposable gloves, picked up a dumpling wrapper, picked up a portion of the meat filling with chopsticks and placed it in the center, then dipped water around the dumpling wrapper before starting to make dumplings.

Soon, a four-pleated dumpling came out of the oven. Li Wei showed it off in front of the camera, raised the corners of her mouth and said, "How about it, it looks good."

The audience looked at Li Wei's appearance, and began to swipe the barrage——

"Tuigui, this is too good a wife and mother."

"Wow, whoever marries her will live happily ever after."

"Mom, I want to marry her."

"Yes, I have indeed been happy all my life. This is my wife's thank you."

"Sir, I'm not your wife. JPG."

"The silly barrage upstairs has started again, but Li Wei is really good."

"It's hard work, Li Wei, pay attention to rest, don't tire yourself out."

"Ah, I really want to eat it. I feel that what she cooks must be delicious. My mouth is watering."

"Want to eat +1, Li Wei is really dexterous, really virtuous."
