Chapter 90 Giving Gifts
It is the custom in Dachu that the New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten until dark. The New Year's Eve dinner is very particular. It not only includes fish and meat, but also has to be eaten until the third day of the first lunar month.
Although eating leftovers or eating leftovers for three days is not good for the body, this custom entrusts a family with a happy expectation for the coming year, not to mention that it is only eaten once a year, so Mo Yan prepared three days' worth of meals. .
We have plenty of ingredients at home. I bought half a fan of pork half a month ago, half of which was marinated with spices to make bacon with a unique flavor. The remaining half was chopped into spicy and fragrant sausages.
A lot of chickens in the space were also killed. In addition to the roosters that only knew how to eat, there were also old hens that no longer laid eggs. They were all nourished by the spiritual energy in the space. Not to mention the nutrition, the taste was even more wonderful.
When it comes to chicken, Mo Yan gets a headache. The number of hens in the space has increased from more than forty to seven or eight hundred now. This is the result of her efforts to suppress it. Otherwise, the entire space would have been occupied by chickens.
Fortunately, I will buy a barren mountain next year, and then I will put all the chickens on the mountain to raise them.
The Mo family all love to eat braised meat, and naturally the delicious braised meat, braised chicken, and braised intestines are indispensable. Mo Yan personally prepared the braised ingredients. As soon as the pot was boiled, the delicious flavor wafted out, making Zhen'er keep eating. Running in the kitchen.
Mo Yan tore off a braised chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He was so happy that he quickly took several bites into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a puffy frog.
Mo Yan was busy in the kitchen, and the others were also busy. They were gathering in the main room to roll dough, chop stuffing, and make dumplings.
Not only do family members eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, but also when relatives and friends come over to pay New Year greetings, they first fill their stomachs with a bowl of dumplings. If there are many relatives and friends at home, making hundreds of dumplings may not be enough.
Not only the Mo family and Lao Motou were originally resettled in Liuyang Village, there were also more than ten other families named Mo. If they were still in Mojia Village, they would come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. If they were close, I'll eat a bowl of dumplings before leaving. Those who are far away from each other usually say New Year's greetings before leaving.
Mo Yan was not sure whether the relatives of the Mo family would come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. Back in Mojia Village, these so-called relatives were not friendly towards the original owner's family, and some even stepped on them from time to time. Will they come? , Mo Yan thought it didn't matter, but if someone came, he couldn't turn them away.
Those who are close to the Mo family, such as Lin Da and Lin Meng, will definitely come over to pay New Year greetings, and most of these dumplings are prepared for them.
When the kitchen was almost busy and only waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Mo Yan washed her hands and went to the main room to help make dumplings.
This time I made a lot of dumplings and had several kinds of fillings. In addition to the mushroom and lean meat stuffing that the family loves, there are also corn and lean meat stuffing, mushroom and chicken stuffing, and leek and egg stuffing.
Mo Qingze and Li Zhong are very strong, so they are responsible for chopping the meat fillings, Li Yan and Xin'er rolling out the dough, and Mo Yan can make all the dumpling wrappers by herself.
The family chatted and laughed for a while, then they heard a knock on the door. Only Zhen'er was free, so they ran to the yard to open the door.
Everyone is busy!
Shopkeeper Xing greeted with a smile, followed by Xiao Zhu, holding a square silver box in his hand.
As soon as she saw them, Mo Yan quickly patted the flour on her hands, told them to sit down, and was about to wash her hands and make tea.
Youre welcome, Miss Mo. Ive been told by the young master to give you something, so I wont keep any more.
Shopkeeper Xing stopped him quickly and ordered Xiao Zhu: "Go and move everything in the car in."
Xiao Zhu received the order and quickly put the silver box in Mo Yan's hand and ran outside to move things.
The Mo family watched helplessly as Xiao Zhu ran back and forth non-stop. After a while, the cloth, food, etc. that had been brought in were piled up in the main room.
Mo Yan's eyes twitched as she looked at it. She thought it was really a "gift of something", but she didn't expect that she would give so many. They were all household items and were not particularly precious. She couldn't even refuse. exit.
Others were even less familiar with Shopkeeper Xing. They only knew that Mo Yan had business dealings with him and that he had brought a large cart of vegetables away two days ago.
Only Mo Yan knew that pulling food was to hide the water from others, and that what was really pulling was spatial water, which would attract others' attention. She and shopkeeper Xing told the outside world that the two companies had reached a cooperation.
As courtesy was reciprocated, Mo Yan had no choice but to pack more than two hundred dumplings that had just been made. He also took a lot of bacon, sausages and braised meat from under the eaves and put them in the basket, filling the entire basket. After thinking about it, I went to the kitchen to get some old hens, and quietly took some vegetables and fruits from the space, putting them together as a return gift.
"There is nothing good at home. These are all home-produced and taste good. Especially these chickens are very nourishing. If Shopkeeper Xing doesn't mind, just take them back."
Dont dislike it, dont dislike it, they are all good things that you cant buy outside!
Shopkeeper Xing smiled and took the dumplings and braised pork himself, and asked Xiao Zhu to carry some chickens and vegetables to the car.
From his master, he vaguely knew that this Miss Mo was not a simple person. If other people gave her this kind of food, he would not be surprised, but if Miss Mo gave it to her, it must be good.
After Shopkeeper Xing and others left, Mo Yan began to put away the gifts. The gift was heavier than she expected. Not to mention the smooth and soft fabrics, the pile of snacks were all bought from time-honored stores. A small envelope cost one or two silver.
The things in the silver box are even more valuable. They are made of jade, gemstones, and pearls. They are very suitable for teenage girls to wear. There are two sets of each with different colors; there are also three sets of jade pendants for men. In fact, even Li Zhong and Li Yan, the grandfather and grandson, took it into consideration. I have to say that this gift was thoughtful.
Shopkeeper Xing brought a return gift from the Mo family and sent it to Wu'an Palace.
So, at the New Years Eve dinner at Wuan Palace that night, Mr. Yan took two bites of the food with great disgust and stopped using his chopsticks until the cook brought a pot of fragrant chicken soup and a pot of hot dumplings. Mr. Yan After personally serving a bowl of chicken soup and dumplings to Grandpa Wu An, he put the rest into his own stomach, which made Mrs. Wu An, Grandpa Yans step-grandmother, so sulky that she caused a scene that night and was killed by her husband. I cut it hard before it stopped!
