At the beginning of Shenshi, the five people finally returned to Chenjiacun, and the village was filled with joy.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Every household must prepare something delicious. Even the poorest family must prepare a dish.

The courtyard of the Chen family's old house is also lively.

Because of the festival, everyone had a day off. The second and third bedrooms were busy early in the morning. Today, Mrs. Chen gave Chen Youjin, the second eldest brother, some money and went to the city to buy half a catty of pork and a duck.

The old lady was smoking mugwort, and the whole yard was filled with the scent of mugwort, which can not only ward off evil spirits and provide protection, but also repel insects and mosquitoes.

Chen Youjin was about to kill the duck. The duck screamed pitifully, but Liu's side had already boiled a pot of boiling water.

When Chen Youjin raised the knife and dropped it, the duck lost its breath and the duck's blood was not wasted. It was all put into the bowl.

After the duck's blood was drained, he grabbed the duck's legs, immersed its entire body in boiling water, turned it constantly, and then lifted it out and began to pluck the duck's feathers. After repeated several times, the duck feathers will be picked clean.

The picked duck feathers are naturally not thrown away. The three children, Da Mao Er Mao and San Mao San, carefully collect them, wash them and dry them. When the weather gets cold, they are sewn into the middle layer of clothes to keep out the cold.

This is what the old man said. You must listen to the old man.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui were busy on the stove, Daju and Erju were helping beside them, and the youngest girl Xiaoju also helped to pick vegetables sensibly.

"Milk!" Chen Sanshou shouted as soon as he arrived at the east entrance of the village.

Mrs. Chen's face was full of joy, "Are you just back from the city?"

"Yes. Mom said she was going to deliver goods to people in the morning, so we went to the city together with the whole family. We also sold tofu noodles. By the way, we also watched the dragon boat race, which was very lively." Sixi chirped. .

After saying that, the children went to get the tofu and the guys were ready to go home.

Old Mrs. Chen kept Chen Changsheng and took out a large bag of pine resin blocks from the house, "Nuo, this is the pine resin you want. Two brothers, You Jin and You Yin, went to the mountains to cut it in the past two days. It turned out that yesterday I cut some and brought them back. I’m worried that they won’t be enough for you, so I’ll give them to you after I cut more today.”

Chen Changsheng took the big bag. It was quite heavy in his hand and could hold more than ten candles.

"Thank you, mother."

"Daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law, Li Zheng went to every house to inform you that we are going to gather at the village square today at 1 o'clock to hold a village meeting. There is no one in your courtyard today, so Li Zheng asked me to inform you. , don’t forget it when the time comes.” Mrs. Chen kindly reminded me.

Chen Changsheng nodded and turned around to go back to her home with the children. She glanced at Old Mrs. Chen and found that she seemed to have something else to say.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, "You guys have just come back. I'm preparing dinner here. You and the children can have a meal with me today. It will be more lively with more people."

She was talking to the children, but her eyes were looking at Chen Changsheng, the wealthy daughter-in-law.

Since the separation, the two families have not had dinner together for many years. The eldest daughter-in-law has helped a lot these days, and the two families have begun to move around again.

Mrs. Chen still hopes to have a reunion dinner together during the New Year and the festival.

Several children also turned to look at Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Dafu, quickly bring the ribs, meat and fish we bought to your second uncle. Our two families will cook together and have a sumptuous meal together today."

"Okay, Mom!" Dafu said, carrying the ingredients in.

The old lady's face beamed with joy, "That's great. I asked the second and third daughters-in-law to work hard today and not to waste these good ingredients."

"Mom, let me and Dafu take charge today. The second and third bedrooms can help out."

Chen Changsheng then ordered the two younger ones, "Sanshou and Sixi, you two go to the old house and dig out a big bowl of lard, then scoop out half a bowl of brown sugar, and bring over all the seasonings on the stove. Oh, Don’t forget to pick up two kilograms of ground vegetables from Aunt Ma.”

The two siblings ran out.

These seasonings are my mother's magic weapon. With them, you can make delicious food that will make people laugh. Gotta get it, get it all.

"There is lard at home, why should you get it from your own house?" Mrs. Chen's face turned red and she panicked.

Although there was only half a tank of lard left at home, she originally planned to put only a little bit in it for cooking.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "A big vat of lard was cooked at home a few days ago. The vat can't even be filled, and it will break if we don't finish it. Let's have a reunion dinner today, so put more lard in it, okay? eat."

Not allowing Mrs. Chen to refuse, Chen Changsheng walked straight to the stove.

The old house prepared half a kilogram of pork and a duck. Chen Changsheng prepared three kilograms of ribs, two kilograms of pork and three crucian carp, as well as a few taels of duck blood that had just been released. She caught a glimpse of vegetables growing in the yard. Today Just make braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried duck blood, then braise two fish, a vegetable with oil drizzle, a spicy stir-fried ground vegetable, and finally a lotus root stewed in duck soup.

"Sister-in-law, you go and have a rest." Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui said. Sister-in-law is a guest today, so how can I let the guests cook?

"We are all a family, so don't be so polite. I brought so many mouths to eat today, so I have to do something." Chen Changsheng took the apron and put it around himself.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui no longer refused, and they prepared the dishes according to Chen Changsheng's instructions.

If the stewed duck with lotus root is to be fragrant and delicious, it must be stewed for a long time. Chen Changsheng decided to cook this dish first.

She chopped the duck into small pieces, stir-fried it with ginger slices and bay leaves in a pot until the aroma was released, then transferred it to a casserole and simmered it slowly.

Mrs. Liu was processing the fish, Mrs. Cui was washing the ribs, and Chen Changsheng pretended to take something out of his backpack when no one was paying attention. In fact, he secretly bought a lotus root and four or five peppers in the bracelet space.

She handed the lotus root to Dafu and told him to remove the skin, wash all the mud in the hole, cut it into small pieces and put them together into the duck soup to stew slowly until the flavour.

"Mom, I'll do the rest of the dishes. You'll be there to guide me." Chen Dafu put the last piece of lotus root into the stew pot and stood up.

Chen Changsheng nodded, she would dictate, and her eldest son would operate. After his son really mastered his skills, he would be able to get rid of the situation of working around the stove.

Mrs. Cui had already washed the ribs and blanched them in water. Dafu heated up the pot and put some lard in to melt it like his mother had done before.

This time, his son was in charge. Chen Changsheng couldn't bring out the rock sugar bought at the Wanhuan Mall, so he used brown sugar instead.

Dafu scooped up two small spoons of brown sugar and slowly stir-fried it over low heat to get the color. After the rock sugar melted, he poured in the ribs and stir-fried to get the color.

As soon as the ribs are poured into the pot, the pot immediately makes a "blah blah" sound. After each rib is evenly coated with sugar sauce, pour all the prepared onions, ginger, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon and other ingredients together. stir fry.

After a while, the aroma wafted out of the pot.

The taste buds of everyone in the courtyard were aroused.

"Damn it, what is that kid from Dafu cooking? Why is it so delicious?" Two brothers, Chen Youjin and Chen Youyin, said a bit dissatisfied and tried to swallow their saliva.

If my sister-in-law knew they were so delicious, she would be laughed at.
