Chapter 637: Prawns for reunion dinner
Yes, there are many good springs in the Changbai Mountain area. If you really want to build a factory, you can’t do it. Why bother to pick up other people’s junk?
This advantage may not be easy to take advantage of, and it will cause a mess if it is not good. You really can\'t worry, let\'s talk about it later.
It\'s the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and everyone is very busy.
Xu Shiyan and his son had dinner at Guo\'s house, stayed for a while, and then hurried home.
Chinese New Year is early this year, and the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year’s Eve.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying are both busy, and there are several children at home eating.
So at the beginning of spring, Xu Chenghou said that he would catch pigs and raise them, but Xu Shiyan and his wife refused to let them.
I don’t have pigs at home, so I don’t need to kill pigs.
There is a tofu shop in Donggang, and they have a good relationship with Xu Shiyan.
People have said a long time ago that Xu Shiyan doesn’t need to make tofu at home during the Chinese New Year, and he will send a plate when the time comes.
The kindness is hard to turn down, and Xu Shiyan is not easy to refuse, so there is no need to make tofu.
Pork, fish, shrimp, etc. are all made by the unit, just spend money to buy some and bring them back.
The farm has processed mutton and venison, as well as various vegetables, mushrooms, and wild vegetables grown in the greenhouse.
Xu Shi\'an sent his son away, and he sent them here, young and old.
Many other things were sent by relatives and friends.
Xu Shiyan and his wife\'s current influence in Donggang, who wouldn\'t want to have a good time with him?
At that time, if the couple give them any chance, others will be able to make a lot of money along with them, right?
Asking for something, it\'s Chinese New Year, why don\'t you give me something?
People like Huang Shengkai, Zhao Jianguo, Li Daniu, etc. are all earning money, and they can’t send something over for the New Year. Look at the old couple Xu Chenghou?
Xu’s family pushed everything they could, and confiscated most of their belongings, especially those of the participating workers.
Of course, relatives, and some close friends, don’t care about this, you can stay.
In this way, there is really nothing to buy in the market.
Not to mention the clothes, Xu Shiqin sent them back early, and Su Anying bought them back in Yangcheng.
All are ready-made clothes, and there is no need to make clothes for Chinese New Year as before.
This does not kill pigs, does not make tofu, and does not need to make new clothes. It is worry-free.
But I just feel that this year is not as lively as before.
Fortunately, there are these four children at home, and they are bouncing around and making noise all day long, which adds a lot of fun.
On the twenty-ninth New Year\'s Eve of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Chenghou and his wife came to Xu Shiyan\'s place to celebrate the New Year this year.
Zhou Guilan and Su Anying started to work in the morning, and Xu Jinping followed to help.
Xu Shiyan led the two sons to erect lantern poles in the yard, and paste couplets, blessing characters, and window grilles.
The children are all grown up and can help with work. Xu Shiyan looked at the two sons and felt very beautiful 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, you can see it in the market in winter in the past few years, and you can buy it once or twice a year and stew it.
Hairtail is not common, I have only eaten it twice, and I have never seen that prawn before, let alone cooked it.
Neither Zhou Guilan nor Su Anying knew how to make it, but Xu Shiyan said that if they really couldn’t do it, just put some green onion and **** and cook it directly.
This is simple, so it won\'t go bad, so Su Anying followed Xu Shiyan\'s instructions and made boiled shrimp.
In fact, apart from these, the Xu family also has a lot of seafood.
Dried 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 saved and eaten slowly, but those 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 meat quality 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.
Finally, Xu Shiyan said, don’t make crabs for the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, but 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 haven\'t eaten this thing before, and it makes me hungry just looking 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 shrimp 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 was 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 living people, so there’s no way, why tell them to live inland?
The storage and transportation conditions are not good this year, even if there are live shrimps, they cannot be shipped 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 and chewed it in his mouth, then nodded repeatedly.
"In the past, we have seen small shrimps in the river at most, or small shrimps, but we have never eaten such a big shrimp.
Old woman, you should try it too, it’s very good. "
Over there, Zhou Guilan ate it too, and it was really good, not 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 has never been there before when he traveled all over the world. This thing is not a rare thing in his place.
However, Chu Xuanhuai was very happy to pick up the prawns grilled by his apprentice.
"Don\'t say it, I haven\'t eaten it for some years.
Let’s save it, it’s good anywhere, but seafood can’t be eaten fresh. "
The old man happily put the shrimp meat in his mouth, chewed it, and nodded.
"It\'s okay, it\'s pretty good, eat it all, 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 the boiled prawns to be so popular, so she cooked that plate.
The plate of the Xu family\'s dishes is quite big, but there are quite a few of them.
I originally thought that there were so many dishes, enough to eat, but who would have thought that the children would be 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 it.
What about the dishes on this table? It\'s still hard to grill that stuff, so why not eat fish or chicken or something.
Today, the stewed chicken is very good, it is mushy enough, and the mushrooms are fresh. I love this. "
Old people are rare in children, 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?
