This year's New Year's Eve dinner is also eaten at the uncle's house. The relationship between the Zhang family and the several rooms is still very good. It is OK not to eat together at ordinary times, but the New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten together.

This year, everyone had a good time. The other houses in the Zhang family earned a good income because Zhang Chengchuan taught everyone to build biogas digesters and lay biogas lamp lines.

This year, everyone is very active in working in the fields, and because of the bumper harvest, there is a lot of food distributed. During the Chinese New Year, we must make delicious food to make everyone happy.

What Chen Xiayue prepared here was braised elbows, and there were two big elbows, adding up to about 20 to 30 pounds of big elbows.

Chen Xiayue had to stew her big elbows from the morning to the afternoon. She added a lot of spices and stewed it. It must be delicious and delicious at night.

In addition to the elbow, Chen Xiayue also prepared pork belly. After frying the skin of the pork belly, put it in water to wrinkle the skin of the pork, and then slice it and steam it with plum vegetables.

This year, Chen Xiayue only has to prepare two dishes, and the rest of the dishes will be prepared by other rooms. It's good to be able to take out so much meat, and Chen Xiayue doesn't want to prepare anything else.

Twenty to thirty kilograms of elbow, plus ten kilograms of pork, add up to thirty or forty kilograms of meat. Even if she doesn't take other dishes, others will definitely not say anything.

Fortunately, everyone had a good life this year. The pigs raised in the brigade have grown to two or three hundred kilograms. Although everyone didn't share that much meat, the big New Year's Eve must be cooked and eaten. Therefore, the taste of Chen Xiayue's stewed elbows and steamed pork belly is not very abrupt, and there is no unnecessary trouble because of the meat taste.

"What's not abrupt? Your stewed meat is too fragrant, isn't it?" Hu Xiaofang, who still likes to come over to chat with Chen Xiayue, even though she was also busy with dishes for the New Year's Eve, couldn't help complaining when she heard Chen Xiayue's words.

The meat is so delicious, isn't it? Originally, braised elbow is a dish with a domineering fragrance. Chen Xiayue's cooking skills are also very good. The quality of the ingredients is also very good. When it is stewed, the taste is not fragrant.

Of course, the fragrance is exaggerated for ten miles, but at least it is two or three miles away, right? Such a fragrant smell, most of the Yunhe Brigade can smell it.

The reason why Hu Xiaofang came over was because the smell of braised elbows was so fragrant. She found it after smelling it at home. Sure enough, this dish was really made by Chen Xiayue, and it was too fragrant.

"Incense is good, incense is delicious, isn't it?" Chen Xiayue smiled.

Today is New Year's Eve, but Yu Xiujuan and Lu Zhanguo did not celebrate the New Year with the Yunhe Brigade, and of course they did not go back to their hometown, but went back to the army to celebrate the New Year.

However, Zhang Chengchuan's protection has not been withdrawn, but the married people among the original protection personnel have all returned to the army to celebrate the New Year with their families, and those who stayed are all single people.

There are not no unmarried soldiers at the age of Lu Zhanguo, so this time a 27-year-old unmarried soldier was sent here to lead the team. The other party is also a company commander, and his ability is also very good, but he is not married yet.

Chen Xiayue, the soldiers who still want to protect Zhang Chengchuan during the Chinese New Year, will certainly not be treated badly. One of the two elbows she stewed is for the soldiers, and she also intends to give the soldiers a portion of the meat.

Of course, in addition to these two dishes, Chen Xiayue also prepared other dishes for the soldiers, including pickled fish, braised fish and squirrel mandarin fish.

Originally, Chen Xiayue only planned to prepare two dishes this year, but she added a few more dishes because she had to prepare the soldiers' New Year's Eve dinner.

The fish was provided by the soldiers, and the soldiers were going to give Chen Xiayue some money tickets as if they bought them. After all, they couldn't let Chen Xiayue give them such a big elbow in vain.

On New Year's Eve, everyone was ready to eat at around six o'clock in the afternoon and seven o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Xiayue brought out the stewed elbows for the whole morning and the afternoon. One of the elbows also had pickled fish, braised fish, and squirrel mandarin fish. Soldiers.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The young soldier thanked him happily after taking the dishes handed over by Chen Xiayue.

You must know that they may not be able to eat so much meat even if they are in the army for the New Year. The army is not treating everyone badly, but they are all poor. The people in the cooking class are not small, but they feel that the dishes made by Chen Xiayue are more delicious.

"Happy New Year." Chen Xiayue said with a smile after handing the squirrel mandarin fish to a young soldier, "I'll prepare these dishes for you. You can only cook the vegetables yourself."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have already prepared other dishes." The soldiers didn't know how to cook, so they also prepared other dishes for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

For example, they made a big pot of stewed taro with chicken head, and two chickens put about five or six pounds of taro into it to stew.

They also made stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and so on, and they also ate it with the two old men from the house they borrowed for the New Year this year.

After Chen Xiayue sent away a few soldiers, he also found a big plate and packed the remaining elbow. Buckle also took a plate to buckle, and two plates of meat on the table are enough to be mouth-watering.

Zhang Chengchuan and Zhang Deping brought the two meat dishes to Zhang Dexin's house, and Liu Guiying took the braised fish. This fish is one of the fish sent by the soldiers. After Chen Xiayue finished it, the soldiers said that it would be left for Chen Xiayue and the others to eat.

Chen Xiayue also unceremoniously left the fish, which weighed about ten pounds. Now that the braised fish is made, I will let Liu Guiying go to Zhang Dexin's house to eat for a while.

Chen Xiayue packed up the things at home, and went to the uncle's house with the bread processed by the processing factory to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner together.

The tables and chairs have been moved before they are ready to eat, and they will be moved back tomorrow. It is definitely not possible to move back after dinner tonight, everyone is drunk and drunk.

Zhang Dexin's home.

The 10-pound big elbow, the 10-pound plum-chopped pork, and the 10-pound braised fish were all placed on the main table. This time, because there were big dishes that were not easy to divide, everyone put the table on the table. They are all put together to form a big table and then dozens of people sit and eat together.

In addition to braised elbows, braised pork with plum vegetables and braised fish, there is also a table full of braised chicken with taro, stir-fried pork with peppers, stewed fish with tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and various fried vegetables. vegetable.

The whole table is now staring at the braised elbows and pork with plums in the middle, waiting for Grandpa Zhang to order the meat.

"Our family is still thriving this year, and everyone has found a way out. This year is a harvest year." Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.

"Thank you Achuan. It was Achuan who taught you how to repair things and how to build that thing called a biogas digester. Achuan taught you what he knew without hiding. You are getting better and better, and you can't forget it. It's you from Achuan's gang."
