After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

There is really a lot to do today.

These are things that require time and are quite detailed.

Everyone started to divide the work.

Originally we didn't have the custom of eating dumplings here. We had always eaten glutinous rice balls. We only developed the habit of eating dumplings when we went to work in other provinces.

"It's also because meat is expensive that everyone is a little reluctant to give it up. When we were young, many customs were passed down by the older generation. For food like dumplings, our grandparents had never made or eaten them themselves, so how could we know about it, let alone eat it."

"But it's different now, after all this time of change,"

Today, we not only have to make dumplings, but since we don’t have dumpling skins, we also have to roll out the dough ourselves, which takes some time.

Not to mention, you also have to make braised meat.

The first thing everyone is busy with now is to wash out the foods that need to be marinated so that they can be put into the pot. After all, it will take several hours to marinate these things!

Fortunately, I had thought about it before. I was afraid that such a situation would happen, so I stocked up some household appliances and other things in my space a long time ago. Now they come in handy, don’t they?

The foods to be braised today include: duck necks, beef, pig intestines, pig tongues, duck heads, pig heads...

There is also a pot of lamb and some seafood.

Anyway, whether it is electric rice cookers, large wood-burning stoves, or pressure cookers, all of them are used.

In addition, we also need to fry some meatballs and the like. See, everyone likes: fried chicken, French fries, chicken fillets, black pepper chicken nuggets, chicken legs, chicken wings, egg tarts, various meatballs,...

Time passes as everyone keeps washing, cutting, frying and cooking.

Even at lunch, everyone just ate a few bites and then got busy.

There is still a little difference between imagination and reality.

I thought before that it wouldn't take long to prepare these things, but who knows? I have to wash and scrub all these things, and there is no stopping. It feels like a lot of work, and there are more and more things to prepare for the New Year.

Add a little of this and a little of that, and after all this busy work, every table and shelf in the house is filled with food, and the whole house is filled with fragrance, full of the aroma of meat.

Fortunately, I had foresight. When I went to the city before, I stocked up a lot of miscellaneous things, thinking that I would be able to use them one day.

Now, these cabinets, shelves and other things that we bought are coming in handy. Otherwise, there would be no place to put things, no place to put them, and not even enough containers to hold things.

I'm not exaggerating. After everyone's hard work, the effect is really great.

If someone came into our house now and saw all this food piled up in the house, they would be really shocked.

This is too much. With the food we prepared, we can hold a banquet. How many tables can we put on? That's really not a problem.

Can you imagine how much food we prepared?

"It's mainly because our economy allows it now. Also, my family all have great appetites now. If we don't prepare a little more food, it will be a shame if the food is gone by the time relatives and friends come to visit us."

"It's better to prepare more."

It is no exaggeration to say that the weight of the dumplings alone is more than 100 kilograms. The fillings of the dumplings include green onion pork filling, leek egg filling, celery beef filling, and more than ten kinds of meat fillings.

The cage for steaming dumplings is the same one used by breakfast shops to steam buns, but the cage might be a little smaller, or the steamer might be a little smaller, as there are still a lot of dumplings waiting to be steamed.

It doesn't mean that all dumplings have to be steamed, but in the countryside, there are really no people who can afford refrigerators, washing machines, rice cookers, etc. household appliances. At least, among the people I know, no one has these things.

Even if you have to send food, you still have to send it to make people happy, right?

As the dumplings came out of the pot, even if they were too hot to eat, I couldn't bear to stop eating them because of the delicious taste in my mouth.

"It's delicious. I think glutinous rice balls and dumplings are a perfect match. How come we didn't eat something this delicious before?"

"My brother grimaced as he was burned, but he couldn't bear to stop talking."

"When this was said, everyone felt a little sad. It's not that people don't want to eat dumplings, but that their families don't have money and can't afford to eat them."

"It's because of the useless couple. The child has suffered so much over the years."

Who doesn't know that meat is delicious? But doesn't that cost money?

"Looking at the silence, I stepped out to smooth things over and said to my brother: If it tastes good, just eat more. If you want to eat anything delicious in the future, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

"My parents were amused by my generous attitude and said, 'If you want to eat anything in the future, I'll buy it for you.'"

"Anyway, my husband and I have a million or eight hundred thousand in our pockets, so why would we need your money for a few dumplings?"

"..."

When I said this, I remembered and looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon.

The gifts that I was supposed to give to my eldest uncle and my youngest uncle’s families today haven’t been delivered yet?

I quickly loaded the things into the car, and then used bags to put some dumplings and fried things in for each family, a little of each. I handed the things over to Dad and asked him to come back early. Dad then drove away.

"We are busy packing these dumplings and the fried things into small portions and putting them into the boxes that have been packed before, and will send them out later."

"These four or five baskets of things to be sent out are for the families of my closest uncles and aunts.

Fortunately, everyone was standing next to each other, otherwise carrying these things and walking around the village would seem a bit ostentatious!

My sister and mother went to my grandmother's house and my second uncle's house to deliver dumplings and fried foods. My brother and I each carried two baskets and went door to door, delivering one basket to each household.

Second Grandpa, this is something my parents asked us to send over.

I said before that I had prepared too many things, but after going through so many rounds, half of them have been removed.

……

Dad, you’re back so quickly!

Hurry up and put up the couplets and these blessing characters.

……

"Dad smiled and said, if I hadn't spent more time at your two aunts' houses, I would have come back a long time ago."

"After hearing what Dad said, everyone became a little curious. This is..."

Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Dad could only slowly tell the story...

……

Brother, it’s New Year’s Day today, why are you here?

Looking at the car parked in front of my house, isn’t this my eldest brother’s license plate?

Yaodie asked hurriedly?

It's not her fault. She was thinking in her heart, it's New Year's Eve and everyone is busy preparing food for the New Year at home. They are so busy that they don't know how to have the time to come out.

Hearing my uncle's question, my aunt's father, my little cousin, and my grandparents all gathered around and asked questions at the same time.

"stop"

Dad said with a smile: "There is nothing special. Didn't we buy a lot of things in the city before? We also made some dumplings and fried some other things at home. I will give a little to you and your elder sister's family."

As he spoke, he carried two large baskets of things out of the car.

These are some of the things you said. Looking at these two full baskets, everyone was a little overwhelmed by the Versailles.

"Brother, you have too many things. I can't accept them," the aunt said hurriedly.

"My eldest brother is too extravagant. Our family is just a little better off, but he is so extravagant. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will have nothing to live on in the future. How can a family get rich if they don't budget carefully?"

"Looking at his little sister's look, the father said helplessly, "Don't worry, you know your brother is different now, so what's wrong with sending a few gifts to your sister's family? Just keep it, I still have to go to your eldest sister's house, and I'm a little rushed. Wait a minute, there's still a lot of work waiting to be done at home."

I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m leaving now.

As he said this, he prepared to start the car.

My uncle-in-law hurriedly said: Brother, sit at home for a while and have some tea before leaving. These gifts given by my eldest brother-in-law and my family are really expensive, I feel a little embarrassed!

Okay, I won't sit down. You guys are busy with your own things. It's the New Year, and every household is busy preparing food. How can they have the leisure time to drink tea?

The same situation happened when we went to my eldest aunt's house. My eldest aunt's family also warmly invited my father to stay for tea.

After some persuasion, everyone knew what day it was, so there was no further argument and Dad drove back quickly.

So that's how it is! I didn't expect that my dad would have so many stories when he went out.

"Not to mention my eldest and second aunts, after my father left, we opened the baskets and looked at the various fruits, seafood and meats inside. Everyone had the same thought: my eldest brother-in-law and his family are really rich and generous, and they are really willing to spend money on their two younger sisters."

……

This time during the Chinese New Year, my grandparents had dinner together at our house.

Since they don't want to split up the family, the two old people can live on their own and feel more comfortable.

Today, the two elders are busy preparing food for the New Year. They are thinking of preparing the food in advance when relatives and friends come to pay New Year's greetings.

16 points.

How many pots are in it? The braised food is also ready. Everything that needs to be cut has been cut and washed. Various foods are arranged on the shelf according to their categories. The onions, ginger and garlic that will be used for cooking have also been washed, cut and placed in another large plate, waiting to be used when cooking.

Things that need to be steamed are already in the steamer.

……

Listening to the sound of firecrackers coming from the village

Unexpectedly, some families have already prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner. When the firecrackers sound, although it cannot be said to be worth a fortune, this rich New Year’s Eve dinner is enough for everyone.

As soon as the sound of firecrackers was heard, every household hurriedly made preparations.

It's the same in our house: we used to eat at a small table, but now we have replaced it with a large round table, which even rotates.

Now, the delicious food was served on the table. Everyone helped, and at 5:05, all the dishes were finally served.

The entire table was filled to the brim with no gaps, with a total of 18 dishes, including hot dishes, cold dishes, meat, seafood, various braised meats, stir-fries, fried, deep-fried, stewed, roasted, boiled, and steamed. There was also a large fruit plate that I carved. Everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water was on the table today.

The table is filled with bowls and chopsticks, and now we begin to offer sacrifices to our ancestors, waiting for them to enjoy.

"After 15 minutes, my father set off firecrackers, put away the dishes, and put some of the food back into the pot. Then it was time for us to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Close the door and eat"

"Everyone's glass is filled with drinks, I wish us all a happy new year, in the new year,

Smooth sailing, two dragons soaring,

Three sheep bring good luck, four seasons bring wealth,

Five blessings come to your door, six or six good fortunes,

The seven stars are shining brightly, and wealth comes from all directions.

Everything comes back to one, and everything is perfect.

I hope that everyone will have higher and higher cultivation in the future, meet more geniuses and treasures, make a few bosom friends, and make a fortune and have good luck in the future. I also wish that we will all become more and more beautiful in the future. Although we are now a family of handsome men and beautiful women, it is icing on the cake, and no one is too much.

"I also wish that you, grandparents, can stay young and blessed forever, and that you, parents, can stay young, beautiful, and handsome forever. I hope that in the future, our family can become bigwigs, roaming the world with a clear conscience and freedom."
