Chapter 592: Sending Head Noodles
The more chickens there are at home, the more eggs there are. Li has a lot of work to do on weekdays, so it takes a long time for him to have time to take the eggs to the market to sell.
Besides, after working so hard to drive the cart there and sell the eggs, he still didn't have even 500 yuan left.
Later, Zhou Guo and others didn't let her go anymore, thinking that it would be better to keep the money for themselves.
But if you eat too many eggs, you will eventually stop liking them, which results in more and more eggs piling up.
When Zhou Guo was picking eggs, he looked at the two large jars full of eggs and thought that he should go to the market and sell them slowly, otherwise it would be a pity if they went bad.
Li laughed, "When I went to sell it, you wouldn't let me go, saying that the money would be better spent on my own food. Do you understand now?"
Zhou Xing said: "Everyone eats one in the morning and one in the evening. Who can stand this every day?"
Zhou Su chewed the beef and raised his hand, "I can handle it. I love it."
Li Lai also nodded, "I like to eat it too."
Zhou Guo cracked eggs into it one by one, about ten in total, one for each person.
When the eggs were cooked, they were scooped up one by one. "Come on, have a poached egg. It's delicious. There are chicken, meat, mushrooms, and vegetables in the egg. It has all kinds of flavors."
I ate one first, without coating it with sesame sauce.
It’s really good, tender and smooth, with the aroma of meat and eggs, and tastes better than boiled eggs.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
After eating, you can crack an egg into your stomach. An egg doesn’t take up much space in your stomach anyway.
The whole basket of eggs went into their stomachs, and all the food on the kang was also eaten.
After Zhou Guo ate seven or eight eggs, he scooped a bowl of soup and drank it, dipping it in the last steamed bun. After he finished eating, he burped.
want to sleep.
She was unwilling to move.
At this time, it was beginning to darken outside.
Zhou Xing and the others cleared the dishes and everyone gathered in Zhou Dacang's house, chatting.
Finally, Zhou Dacan took two boxes from the shelf.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Su recognized it at a glance. This was the headwear they bought in the county town. Are they going to separate the headwear now?
The Li family members didn't know what was inside and looked at it curiously.
Zhou Dacang gave one of the boxes to Zhou Xing and one to Zhou Gu.
The two were confused and looked at their other brothers and sisters, but none of them had it, only they had it.
Li also understood what it meant.
Zhou Dacang said, "I will leave tomorrow, and I don't know when I will be back. I guess I won't be able to catch up with your wedding and getting married. You know, I don't have much money and can't afford anything good. These are my gifts to you, so keep them."
The two were a little stunned.
Zhou Guo said: "Brother, sister, open it quickly and see what good stuff it is."
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The two of them opened it as instructed.
It almost blinded everyone's eyes.
Although everyone has seen such good things in jewelry stores, they have never had one at home. How many gold hairpins and gold bracelets can they buy with a pair of these?
Zhou Xing was stunned when she saw the jeweled phoenix headpiece in the box. After a while, she looked up at Zhou Dacang in disbelief, "Uncle, is this really for me?"
Zhou Dacang smiled and nodded, "Of course, these two cost me all the money I had, and this is the only thing my uncle can afford. Do you like it?"
Zhou Xing nodded heavily, smiled, and said in surprise: "I like it. Who wouldn't like such beautiful jewelry?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Sister, this headdress can be used when you get married. I wonder how many people will envy you."
Everyone turned to look at Zhou Gu's box. It was equally exquisite and beautiful, and it was obvious that it was not cheap.
Li said, "How much does this cost? Why don't you ask me for money?"
Zhou Dacang said, "Second sister-in-law, I want to prepare gifts for them. It is at least a token of my gratitude as their uncle. How can I ask you for money?"
He said to Zhou Gu, "This is for the new bride. I won't be here on the day of the marriage ceremony, so give this to her."
Zhou Gu happily held the box and said, "Yes, uncle, I understand."
The baby's appearance makes people laugh at the sight of him.
Zhou Mai said: "Brother, put it down. No one will fight with you for it. Everyone knows that it belongs to the future sister-in-law."
Zhou Gu chuckled and said, "It's too valuable. I'll hold it to prevent it from breaking."
Everyone laughed.
Seeing how much they liked them, Zhou Dacang felt it was worth spending all his money to buy these two.
That night, the lights in Zhou's house were kept on all night.
Zhou Dacang was persuaded to go to bed after nightfall.
The Zhou family began to prepare things.
Li didn't care about the custom of not sewing during the New Year, and she and Zhou Xing worked on sewing all night long.
In fact, there was no shortage of clothes, but who could blame Zhou Guo for buying so many furs from the county town in the twelfth lunar month? Wolf fur and mink fur were much better than rabbit fur.
The two men took apart the roe deer cloak they had made earlier and sewed the wolfskin and sable skin on top. There was no need to sew too much, as one person could not carry much.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Gu were preparing food.
The copper pot, various dried mushrooms, and fresh pine mushrooms weighed only two or three pounds, enough for them to have a snack. They also had dried meat, fried cakes, steamed buns, and various dried seafood for the journey. All his favorite foods were prepared.
She also put the ginseng whiskers of the hundred-year-old ginseng in her home into a small box and put it in the box for emergency use. At critical times, the ginseng of this year is much more useful than the one that is forty or fifty years old.
I also prepared a bunch of seasoning jars, which are the most practical and can be used wherever you go.
The next day, Zhou Dacang had not woken up yet, and all the luggage had been prepared.
I have reduced and reduced again, but even after reducing so much, there are still three big packages.
One contained clothes, shoes and socks, one contained a copper pot of dry goods, and one contained drinking water prepared for the journey.
After everything was ready, Li took Zhou Guo and others to the kitchen to prepare things.
Zhou Guo caught an old hen and a young rooster, Zhou Gu caught a grass carp from the tank, and Zhou Mai went to the ice cellar and brought up a basket of pine mushrooms.
There were many people at home throughout the winter, and the pine mushrooms were almost eaten up. This was the last bit left at home.
I stewed the old hen into soup, braised and stir-fried the young rooster with pine mushrooms, and braised two large plates of the prawns that he loved to eat. I packed up all the remaining prawns at home and gave them to him to take away.
Chop the grass carp into pieces and stew it with tofu.
The beef is stir-fried with sour wild celery grown in autumn.
Another duck was slaughtered and braised with ginger slices in a large earthenware pot.
It is different from the New Year’s Eve dinner, which includes all kinds of things you’ve seen and haven’t seen before.
Today we will mainly have some home-cooked dishes, or to be more precise, some farm-style dishes.
To them, the most rare and precious thing was the two plates of prawns.
Everyone looked at the dishes on the kang table and felt particularly at home. The chickens, ducks, fish, meat and mushrooms were all raised by themselves, grown in the fields and mountains, and were all good stuff.
When Zhou Dacang woke up, he felt that the house seemed unusually quiet today. He pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but there was no voice. However, it was already daybreak.
At noon, I lifted the curtain and saw that everyone was inside. The food on the kang table was steaming, and the fragrance wafted over. I was stunned.
