Chapter 347 - new year, steam boiler
At this moment, the big baby in Nuan Nuan’s family has already eaten and slept. Although it is said that the New Year’s Eve dinner will definitely be eaten very early, it is also because it gets dark faster in the northeast in winter, so it is already pitch-dark outside. Yes, the big baby has fallen asleep early.
When Su Qiao was preparing for today’s New Year’s Eve dinner, Yu’s family had already washed his grandson. A family from the south will definitely not really take a bath for a long time as in the north. Although it is difficult to take a bath in such a cold winter, a family will create the conditions to take a bath if there are no conditions.
Especially when the big baby is just born, it needs to be clean and tidy. That’s why Daddy takes a bath every day. Of course, it doesn’t mean that Daddy is put into a hot tub every day for him to take a bath, but Yu’s just wet him with a towel while holding him.
After the big baby took a bath and was full, he went to bed. At this moment, Yu put the sleeping child in Nuan Nuan and Su Qiao’s bedroom to sleep, but the door was not closed tightly. After all, the sound insulation of Su Qiao’s bedroom is very good. If the door is closed, won’t the big baby wake up and not be able to hear his voice? So Yu and the others didn’t plan to close the door, and kept opening the door to listen to Dawa’s movements.
It’s time for New Year’s Eve dinner. When Su Qiao waited for the water in the pot to boil, he put lotus leaves on the steamer, and he was ready to eat in a while. Chen Tiezheng and Su Shi went out to set off firecrackers. The custom in their hometown is to set off firecrackers before the New Year’s Eve dinner, so after Su Shi and Chen Tiezheng set off firecrackers, they closed the door and came back to prepare for dinner.
“What should I eat first?” The staple food Su Qiao prepared today was not steamed buns, buns, or noodles. His family is all southerners who like to eat white rice, so today, apart from the dumplings that he needs to eat during the Chinese New Year, we will meet them later. There is no other pasta dish except the steamed one.
The dumplings prepared by Su Qiao are still crystal steamed dumplings, which are not eaten like rice, but snacks and the like. And Nuan Nuan doesn’t like dry rice very much, so Su Qiao’s rice is a little thinner today. The rice is soft, glutinous and thick, which is just right for so many foods today.
Su Qiao cooked for Nuan Nuan, then saw that the water in the pot had boiled and the steam had come up, and asked her what she wanted to eat first. Because the pot used by Suqiao is relatively large, I don’t worry about not enough ingredients to be steamed once.
“Eat some shrimp first.” Nuan Nuan eagerly said, holding her rice bowl, “I want to eat shrimp.”
“What shrimp?” Su Qiao asked, knowing that they prepared a lot of shrimp today. I don’t know if Nuan Nuan wants to eat lobster or Pipi shrimp?
“Lobster.” Nuan Nuan said with a smile, “Big lobster, I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”
“Okay, let’s eat the big lobster first.” After Su Qiao lifted the lid of the pot, he put a large plate of big lobster into it and steamed it. Because the pot was so big, Su Qiao steamed three big lobsters in one breath. . Because the large lobster has been disassembled, it is easy to steam, and it will not be very slow to cook as a whole.
“Father and mother, you can steam whatever you like, hee hee…” Nuan Nuan said with a smile, and when she said this, she touched a bowl of chicken soup that Su Qiao had stewed for her and drank it to warm her stomach. After all, I have to eat seafood for a while, and drink soup before meals to nourish my stomach.
“We will eat whatever you eat. We all like to eat it anyway, and we eat the same anytime.” Yu also drank a bowl of soup and said to Nuan Nuan with a smile.
“Yeah, we can eat everything, you just need to avoid food, don’t worry about us.” Zhou Shi also said with a smile, but she is mixing her favorite dipping sauce at the moment, although her cooking skills are not as good as She went to her own son and grandson, but she still knew what flavor she liked, so she adjusted her own seasonings without the grandson’s help.
“It’s rare for us to get together for dinner this year. Last year, you went back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together. We thought we wouldn’t be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year. I didn’t expect that, although we couldn’t celebrate the New Year with the whole family, we would still be with you. .” Chen Tiezheng sighed, and he was drinking with Su Shi today, the rice wine prepared by Su Qiao, which can be warm.
Now, there is a very small stove in front of Chen Tiezheng and Su Shi. There is a piece of red charcoal in the belly of the stove, and a pottery jug is placed on the stove, just to warm the wine instead of leaving it for a while. Frozen by the cold weather.
At this moment, Chen Tiezheng did not drink soup to nourish his stomach like his wife and daughter, but took a sip of wine to warm up his body. This yellow rice wine was brewed by Su Qiao himself, and a lot of health-preserving medicinal materials were added to brew it, so Chen Tiezheng would not hurt his stomach or body by drinking a cup before he had eaten.
“Yeah, it hasn’t been a year since we continued to celebrate the New Year together, especially since our old Su family has imported.” Su Shi also said with a smile, he is also very happy, his son has a son, they Old Su’s family has a successor, he is happy.
Su Shi didn’t plan to remarry because of what happened back then. His mother only had one son, and he only had one son. He was worried that Su Qiao and Nuan Nuan didn’t want children. But Su Shi is not the kind of person who will do anything to inherit the lineage, so he can’t do anything if his son is not in a hurry to have a child.
Now that he has a grandson, Su Shi is overjoyed.
“It’s all thanks to Nuan Nuan, you are the hero of our old Su family.” Zhou Shi also smiled and said to Nuan Nuan, “Thank you Nuan Nuan for adding people to our old Su family, Nuan Nuan. Nuan is the lucky star of our family.”
The Zhou family also drank, especially on a happy day like the Chinese New Year, of course, it was more necessary to drink. The Zhou family and the Yu family were not drinking the same medicinal wine as men, but fruit wine, which is very effective in beauty and beauty.
Zhou Shi held the cup to Nuan Nuan and said with a smile, “Come on Nuan Nuan, have a drink with grandma.”
“Huh?” Nuan Nuan was drinking the soup. Seeing this, she reluctantly put down her soup bowl and brought a glass of wine from the side in return for Zhou. The Nuan Nuan wine is more brewed by Su Qiao with a lot of thought. It is very suitable for Nuan Nuan to drink in such a situation. It will not hurt her body or children because of drinking.
Wine has the effect of dispelling cold and dampness, and Su Qiao has spent a lot of thought and a lot of medicinal materials in brewing, so the wine Nuan Nuan drinks at this moment has a more outstanding conditioning effect on her body, and the alcohol content Not high, it will not be passed to the child through milk just because the warm drink is drunk, and the child will not get drunk just because the mother drinks the milk.
Nuan Nuan said to Mrs. Zhou with a glass of wine, “Grandma, this is all my duty and responsibility, there is nothing to be thankful for. I also need to thank you for raising Aqiao so well, and I also want to thank you, since childhood. Just take care of me.”
“Hahaha… Who made you the daughter-in-law that our Aqiao had chosen since he was a child?” Zhou Shi said with a smile, and then drank the wine in his glass, because the wine glass was really small. You can drink it all in one sip, otherwise Zhou Shi would definitely feel chest tightness if he drank it so easily.
Nuan Nuan also drank the wine from her glass with a smile. Her glass is also very small, and she can drink all the wine in one sip. After Nuan Nuan finished drinking, she said to Mrs Zhou with a smile, “I am very grateful to my grandma, because grandma treated me very well, whether before or after I married Aqiao, my grandma always treated me well. Very good, thank you grandma.”
“Come on, grandma, try this piece of lobster meat.” Seeing Su Qiao greeting her, Nuan Nuan told her that the steamed lobster in the pot was already cooked, so she quickly opened the lid and gave the lobster tail of one of the lobsters to Mrs. Zhou. clipped over.
“Grandma, please taste the taste of this lobster meat.” Nuan Nuan said to Mrs. Zhou with a smile, and then put a lobster tail of a lobster to Mrs. Yu, and smiled to please Mrs. “Mother, you can also taste it. what.”
“Dad, Dad, you eat too.” Chen Tiezheng and Su Shi were not as lucky as the ladies. The three lobster tails belonged to three women, and the rest of the men ate lobster claws.
“You…” Chen Tiezheng looked at his daughter with a smile, still very cheerfully crushed the shrimp shell with the lobster claws, took out the lobster meat inside and dipped it in the dipping sauce, while he complimented Nuan Nuan and said, “Yeah. It’s delicious. The dishes my baby daughter gave me are delicious.”
“Whee…”
