Siheyuan starts from a good life

It's snowing, it's snowing, oh oh! "

When something happens, children are always the first to know.

The last snow has not melted yet, and another one has come. The winter in this era is really cold. More than ten degrees below zero is just an appetizer, and it can easily reach minus 20 or 30 degrees.

However, Jiang Yan and his family installed a heater, and the temperature inside the house was a full 20 degrees. They were all wearing single clothes in the house.

The snow was as heavy as goose feathers, and soon the sky and the earth turned into white. The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the snow fell as early as five or six o'clock. It's getting dark too.

The New Year's Eve dinner tonight was quite sumptuous, so sumptuous that even Xu Damao didn't want to go home.

The first four cold dishes are braised beef, shredded pork ears, braised pork head, and fried peanuts.

After the cold dishes are served, there are ten hot dishes, which means perfect, fried hairtail, braised carp, nine-turn large intestine, bad three whites, Dongpo elbow, hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, scallion oil Sea cucumber, the finale tonight is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a masterpiece of Fujian cuisine that is famous at home and abroad. It is known as the "number one dish" in Fujian cuisine and is also an excellent state banquet dish. More than a hundred years ago, Fuzhou chef Zheng Chunfa was inspired by Shaoxing's simmering dishes. It used nearly 30 kinds of ingredients and took more than 10 days.

This dish not only has the common meaty aroma of dozens of raw materials, but also maintains its own characteristics. It is rich in aroma, tender and delicious, meaty but not greasy. However, during the simmering process, there is almost no aroma coming out. Instead, it simmers into a boil. When you put it on the altar, you only need to slightly lift the lotus leaves, and the intoxicating aroma of wine will hit your face. Made with such fine ingredients, this dish is rich in soup, fresh and mellow, salty and sweet, meaty but not greasy. It leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth after eating. It is full of flavor and wonderful. It can indeed be called a Chinese dish. The ultimate representative of stews.

This dish was originally a representative dish of Fujian cuisine and was learned by Tan family. After his own improvement, it became one of the top ten representative dishes of Tan family cuisine.

The Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that He Yuzhu made tonight is a simple version of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Even if Jiang Yan had the space, more than thirty kinds of ingredients would be enough to put together the main dozen or so ingredients.

The meal tonight will be considered a luxury even in future generations.

The staple food for Chinese New Year in the north is of course dumplings. Jiang Yan and his family have prepared three kinds of fillings for their dumplings, including vegetarian three delicacies, pork and fennel, and beef and green onions.

To say who was most shocked by these dishes tonight, it was undoubtedly Qin Huairu who had just come from the countryside.

Why did Qin Huairu come to He Yuzhu so anxiously? It was because the countryside was so miserable that she didn't want to stay there all day.

Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would not have married Qin Huairu so easily in the original work.

At that time, land reform was carried out in the countryside, and every household was assigned a house and land. The people's government, brigade, and production team were established. Farmers truly became the owners of the land. Their forms of labor include plowing, harrowing, hoes, and dustpans, mainly shoulder-carrying. Even though they have homeowners and land to farm, they still live a life without enough food and clothing. The countryside is still very miserable.

This era was the era of planned economy, and administrative management was based on regions, counties, people's communes, dynasties, and production teams. The land production team is collectively managed, and the daily work must be uniformly arranged by the production team. One centimeter per day, one work day, men's work points are 10 points, and women's work points are about 6 points. When the seasons come, we will make unified calculations and distribute the grain.

Back then, all the supplies people used were planned purchases. There are cloth stamps for buying cloth, and food stamps for buying grain. For example, oil, bicycles, and other materials are planned supplies.

People's old work is: in the morning, morning, and afternoon, when the members of the production team hear the bell, the male and female team members will gather at designated points in the team and follow the unified arrangements of the production team leader.

Those who pull dung, those who plow, those who sow seeds, those who beat soil clods, those who spread fertilizers, those who apply pesticides, those who accumulate manure, those who mow hay for livestock, those who raise dung, those who plow the ground, those who shake columbians , those who lead animals, those who fall on the ground, those who water the ground, those who cut grass, those who set mills, those who drive carts, etc., there are all kinds of people doing everything.

At that time, all farmyard manure was used in the fields, and things like chemical fertilizers had not yet been widely promoted. At that time, the level of agricultural production in rural areas was relatively low. Under normal circumstances, the amount of grain produced per mu of real estate is about 400 to 500 kilograms. About 30 kilograms of seeds are left per mu of land, and about 100 to 150 kilograms of public grain are delivered to the country per mu of land.

After handing over the grain, the grain allocated to the farmers was limited. Grain was a very precious thing. What they ate at that time were mainly sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato noodles, sweet potato powder, etc. They were all sweet potatoes, and they were eaten in various ways. Most people suffer from gastric problems after eating sweet potatoes, and they vomit acidic water when they see sweet potatoes. It was really hard for me to find a quick way to bring out the few grains to go with it. I also went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. I couldn’t buy vegetables only a few times a year. They were all dug in the mountains. Even so, I can still get enough to eat.

People who can go to the city to eat royal food are very enviable in the village, and people also go to great lengths to stay in the city.

To put it bluntly, as long as Qin Huairu can remember, he has never dared to eat the stick noodles at home.

Qin Huairu, who had just come from the countryside, had never seen such a battle before, and her mouth watered when she saw the delicious food on the table.

During the Chinese New Year in the village, there were not necessarily a few pieces of meat in a meat dish. The meat was divided according to the head, and there were countless white flour dumplings. Qin Huairu usually ate a few Erhe flour dumplings during the New Year.

Unlike now, I have made hundreds of dumplings this afternoon. It seems that eating from the first to the fifteenth is not a problem.

It's freezing cold now, and there is a natural icehouse outside. He Yuzhu and the others specially packed a few boxes and put them outside. They put the chicken, duck, fish, etc., including the wrapped dumplings that had been frozen hard. , just take it directly to the house when eating.

Qin Huairu felt like he was in heaven when he came to He Yuzhu's place a few days ago. Although He Yuzhu looked a little older, he was still a man who loved his wife.

Not only can I have enough to eat here every day, but the food is also very good, and almost every meal has meat.

Qin Huairu also discovered a situation. He Yuzhu and the others seemed to rarely eat stick noodles. They usually ate steamed buns made from Erhe noodles.

The white noodles account for almost the majority of this Erhemian steamed bun, so any bit of stick noodles would probably be a cover-up.

But the strangest thing is that their corn noodle is called corn flour. Qin Huairu also asked He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu told him that their corn noodle is just ground corn kernels.

On the second day after his arrival, he took him to a department store to buy several sets of clothes. The things in the department store were really dazzling for him. If He Yuzhu hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have known which step to take.

As soon as I came back today, I handed myself this month's salary, which is a full 27.5 yuan. I heard Zhu Zhu say that this is still the salary of a tenth-level cook. He will take the assessment next year. After passing the assessment and being promoted to a higher level, his salary will continue to increase.

The money was counted several times by Qin Huairu. Then he hid it carefully.

I have never seen so much money in my whole life. It is a good year for me to be able to share more than ten yuan with my family all year round after working hard in the countryside.

Now seeing the food on this table, Qin Huairu felt for the first time that her choice was correct, and her eyes on He Yuzhu became much softer.
