Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Xu Shiyan and his two sons erected lantern poles in the yard, pasted couplets, blessing characters, and window grilles.

The children are all grown up and can help with the work. Xu Shiyan looked at the two sons with a special beauty in his heart.

The reunion dinner is as rich as ever. In addition to the must-have dishes in previous years, this year there are more braised mackerel, fried octopus, and boiled prawns.

Spanish mackerel, which can be seen in the market in winter in recent years, can be bought once or twice a year and stewed.

Hairtail fish is not common, and I have only eaten it twice. I have never seen the prawns before, let alone cooked them.

Neither Zhou Guilan nor Su Anying knew how to make it, so Xu Shiyan said, if they really can't do it, just put some green onion and ginger, cook it and eat it.

This is simple, so it won't go bad, so Su Anying made boiled shrimp as Xu Shiyan said.

In fact, apart from these, the Xu family also has a lot of seafood.

Shrimp, dried clams, scallops, sea cucumbers and other dry goods, and two boxes of frozen crabs.

These are all friends from Dandong, and they were specially sent to Xu Shiyan, saying that they were for the family to try something new.

Those dry goods can be kept and eaten slowly, but the two boxes of frozen crabs made the whole family suffer. Su Anying didn't know how to make these things at all.

The crab was frozen, and Xu Shiyan didn't know how long it had been frozen.

If the time is short and the quality of the meat is okay, it should be okay to eat, but it is not as fat as fresh crabs, and the meat will be empty.

If it is frozen for a long time, the crab meat will become mushy and not tasty.

In the end, Xu Shiyan said, don't make crabs for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and cook two crabs another day to see how they look, and then talk about it.

"Mom, I want to eat prawns." As soon as the table was served, Xu Haiqing rushed to the plate of prawns.

I have never eaten this before, and I am hungry when I look at it.

Not only Xu Haiqing, but several other children also stared at the shrimp, wanting to taste the taste of this thing.

Xu Shiyan started to teach the children how to peel the shrimp shells, and then put the grilled shrimps into the bowls of Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan.

"Father, Mom, try this shrimp. It's pretty good. I ate it at Lao Lin's that day. It's pretty good."

The prawns are really good. They should have been fished out and frozen. The prawns are firm and taste good.

Of course, it’s still incomparable with the living ones, so there’s no way, why tell them to live inland?

The storage and transportation conditions are not good these days, even if there are live shrimps, they cannot be transported at all.

What do you mean by eating something cold? When I have a chance in the future, I will take my family to the beach and eat whatever I want.

"Well, it's good. This shrimp is really big and delicious."

Xu Chenghou picked up the shrimp meat, chewed it in his mouth, and nodded repeatedly.

"In the past, we have seen small shrimps in the river at most, or small shrimps, but we have never eaten such big shrimps.

Old lady, you should try it too, it's very good. "

Over there, Zhou Guilan also ate it. It was really good, and it didn't feel the same as fish or meat.

Xu Shiyan picked up several more and gave them to Chu Xuanhuai.

"Master, when we have a chance in the future, let's go to the beach and eat well."

Chu Xuanhuai hadn't been there before when he traveled all over the world. This thing is not a rare item in his place.

However, Chu Xuanhuai was very happy to pick up the prawns grilled by his apprentice.

"Don't mention it, I haven't eaten it for some years.

Let's save it, it's good everywhere, but seafood can't be eaten fresh. "

The old man happily put the shrimp meat into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded.

"It's okay, it's pretty good, eat all of it, I'll do it myself, and you eat yours."

While speaking, those children had already picked up several shrimps and ate them, and only half of them were left on the plate.

Xu Chenghou and the others saw that these children were really willing to eat, so they all went to eat something else, and specially left the shrimp for the children.

Xu Shiyan also saw it, and asked Su Anying, how much did you cook?Add some more, if any.

Su Anying didn't expect that the boiled prawns would be so popular, so she cooked that plate.

The plate of the Xu family's dishes is quite large, but there are quite a few of them.

Originally thought that there are so many dishes, enough to eat, who would have thought that the children are so rare when they see new things, so they can pick up so many in a short time?

Seeing this, Su Anying was about to get up and cook some more, but was stopped by Chu Xuanhuai and the others.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let them eat.

What about the dishes on this table, what can I eat?It's still hard to grill that stuff, so why not eat fish or chicken or something.

The stewed chicken is very good today, it is mushy enough, and the mushrooms are fresh. I love this. "

Older people love children, and Chu Xuanhuai loves these children no worse than Xu Chenghou.

Children can eat whatever they like. With so many delicious foods, how can adults compete with them for this one?

Chapter 638 Iced Grape Juice

Chu Xuanhuai, Xu Chenghou and the others stopped him, and then Su Anying sat down to eat.

Over there, a few children had already scrambled to eat a plate of prawns.

For the first time during the Chinese New Year's reunion dinner, the dishes could be eaten up.

But no one cared, Xu Chenghou smiled and watched his grandchildren eat, and felt more comfortable than eating in his own stomach.

The prawns were finished, and there were still so many delicious dishes. The children moved their positions and continued to eat other dishes.

When it is edible, it has good digestion, and it tastes delicious. It is also a delicious dish on this table. What are you waiting for if you don’t eat it?

This year, there are not only delicious food on the table, but also a lot of drinks, which were brought by Guo Shouye.

In addition to the aerated ones, there are also blueberry juice, blue indigo juice, and the new winter product of the beverage factory, ice grape juice.

In recent years, Yishenchang has cooperated with the Forestry Bureau to use old ginseng land and wasteland to develop various economic crops, including several mountain vineyards.

This autumn, some mountain vineyards are bearing fruit, and the yield is not bad.

In autumn, I was busy and had no time to pick them. I picked them after the snow fell.

The juice from mountain grapes that have been frozen by frost and snow is sweeter and more delicious than those picked in autumn, and has a unique flavor.

Guo Shouye specially sent some over for the Xu family to drink for the New Year.

Several children each have a bottle of drink, eat two mouthfuls of vegetables, and then have a mouthful of sweet and sour drink. This little life is so beautiful.

It didn't take long for the little stomachs to round up after eating one by one.

"I can't, I can't eat anymore." Even Xu Haiqing, who can eat the most, also declared defeat.

Several adults shook their heads when they saw the children like that.

"You guys, how can you be full? You are clearly full.

After drinking a stomach full of drinks, it's time to cry hungry before night. "

What can I do?Anyway, there is a lot of food at home, whatever, they can't be hungry.

Children don't listen to adults at all, as long as they are full at the moment.

The reunion dinner was late, it started around four o'clock, and now it's almost five o'clock.

Xu Haiqing yelled that he wanted to watch TV.

A few days after Su Anying came back from Yangcheng, the TV also came back.

Originally, Xu Shiyan said that he would change the big TV to Chu Xuanhuai's house and the small one.

Chu Xuanhuai refused, saying that he was used to looking at the small ones, but his eyes were dizzy when he saw the big ones.

Xu Shiyan knew that these were all excuses, but his master didn't agree, and Xu Shiyan didn't do anything, so he could only put the big TV in his room.

As soon as the big TV was installed, the children all ran here to watch TV.

The big one looks great, the people inside are big, the picture quality is clear, and it looks comfortable.

Xu Haiqing was anxious to watch TV, and Xu Haiyuan went to turn on the TV after obtaining the consent of the adults.

During the winter vacation, there are more TV programs, but during this time period, there are no good TV programs, all over the world and Baihua Garden, that's all.

"Oh, why are there no monkeys? I want to see monkeys, and I want to see Monkey King."

When Xu Haiqing watched those programs on TV, he cried and said.

The monkey Xu Haiqing is talking about is naturally "Journey to the West".

Since all 25 full episodes were released this year, my good fellow, these children are all obsessed, thinking about watching monkeys all day long.

Xu Haiqing is also like this, he wants to find monkeys as soon as he turns on the TV, but the TV station has the final say on this thing, and it is impossible to show monkeys every day.

"Is the TV station run by your family? You can watch whatever you want?

It’s good to see some, if you keep talking about it, it will annoy our dad in a while, be careful he won’t let you see anything. "

Xu Jinping glared at her younger brother twice, it would be nice to have a few eyes.

This is the Chinese New Year. Change to a normal day. It's not past six o'clock. Want to watch TV?Go dreaming.

After Xu Haiqing was trained by her sister, she stopped talking immediately and sat there obediently watching TV.

For children of this age, the appeal of television is still great.

It doesn't matter what the performance is, as long as there are people on TV, they can watch it.

While the children were watching TV, Su Anying cleaned up the table and the kitchen, and then together with Zhou Guilan, they chopped stuffing and noodles and prepared to make dumplings.

This year's dumpling stuffing, in addition to the must-have cabbage, radish and pork stuffing every year, also has leek, elm, yellow mushroom and shrimp stuffing.

The leeks and elm yellow mushrooms are all grown on the farm.

The two warm sheds on the farm do nothing else in winter, they just grow various vegetables for the family to eat during the New Year.

Anyway, they don't point to making money, just for the convenience of their own food.

The emerald green chives and the tender yellow elm mushrooms all exude an attractive aroma.

Slowly boil the frozen prawns with water, peel off the shells, remove the shrimp threads, cut them into small pieces, and mix them into the stuffing.

In order to prevent the vegetable stuffing from getting watery and not easy to pack, some meat stuffing is also mixed in it.

The dumpling stuffing doesn't need to be cooked to eat, it just smells fresh, and the taste is really great.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy making noodles and stuffing, while Xu Chenghou followed Chu Xuanhuai and went back to the east room.

Especially Chu Xuanhuai, he is getting older, no matter how good his physique is, his spirit will always be weaker.

I have to stare for a while now, otherwise I will have a hard time at night.

Years ago, everyone took a bath in the bathhouse at the Sanshi Hotel.

There is no need to wash in a large basin as in previous years, which saves a lot of trouble.

Xu Shiyan had nothing to do, so he was in the room with the children, watching TV and cracking sunflower seeds.

A few days ago, people sent a lot of frozen pears and persimmons, so I simply picked up a pot and soaked them in cold water.

It is said that New Year's Eve is the coldest time, but the Xu family can't feel it.

The windows were pasted with cloth strips as soon as winter came, and a layer of window film was sealed on the outside, and then a plastic shed was also fastened on the outside.

With this warm-keeping measure, the three layers inside and outside can still be ventilated?

Cooking at noon, the kang was so hot that it burned my buttocks.

The boiler has not been turned off, and the radiator is hot.

Xu Haiyuan and the others were in the house, all wearing sweaters, and it was still too hot, so it was very comfortable to eat a frozen pear to cool off.

At 25:[-], the cartoon, "Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse" began to show on the TV.

Now, Xu Haiqing stopped talking and stared at the TV intently, wishing he could get in.

"All of you stay away from the TV and come to the kang. If anyone stays so close to the TV, I won't let him watch it."

Xu Shiyan had no choice but to lower his face and warn the children.
