Chapter 279: Busy Years Ago
Qiaojuan was discharged from the hospital and went home to raise, the big guys were also a lot more relieved, the old lady lived in Zhang's house to serve Qiaojuan and the child, plus there was a spring peach to help her, this month is not difficult.
Qiaolian's side, there is no choice but to continue to send Jiajun Jiahe to Zhao's house, and Qiaolian goes to work.
Fortunately, Jiakang Jiayuan took the final exam in a few days, and after the exam, the two children did not go to school, so they stayed at home to take care of their younger brother.
Secretary Han understood Qiaolian and knew that Qiaolian was not easy, so he helped Qiaolian come up with ideas, and the literacy class was suspended.
Anyway, seeing that it is about to enter the wax moon, every household is busy, and not many people come to class.
Few of those old ladies really want to learn, they all get together and laugh and laugh nonsense, just don't waste that time.
There is no need to lecture in the literacy class, and there is nothing to do in the township, so Qiaolian goes to the township every morning to have a look.
If there is something to deal with, you can go home if you have nothing to do. If there is something urgent, someone will come to Qiaolian.
Generally speaking, there is not much work in the township and village, and when I am busy, I go to work every day, and when I am free, I go to see it in the morning, and I can leave if there is nothing to do.
Not only Qiaolian is like this, but the big guys are like this, how many things are there in the winter? When I go home, I can help the family.
At the end of December, it was already cold, and it could be said that the water was dripping into ice outside.
At this time, the big guys are nesting at home to poke and eat, for the Northeast people, in winter, it is necessary to burn sticky fire spoons, or steam sticky bean buns.
Most people will grow some rhubarb rice, or sticky millet sticky sorghum sticky bud rice, etc., these grains are good except for rhubarb rice stewed rice, and the rest is better to make sticky bean buns or sticky fire spoons.
Steamed sticky bean buns or sticky fire spoons can be packed up and frozen outside, frozen hard, and taken home to heat up when eating.
In the winter, people don't like to stick cakes and stew rice all day long, they generally like to burn some sticky fire spoons, or spread some soft pancakes and the like, so that people can eat more easily.
In addition, each family loves to grow some beans in the ground, such as red beans and large white beans.
Beans can't be eaten alone, it's best to make stuffing, wrap them into bean buns or sticky fire spoons, and they can also be used as food to fill your stomach.
Qiaolian's family also planted some sticky bud rice and rhubarb rice, anyway, it was not interesting to eat just stewed rice, so she simply soaked the rice and grinded it, and also wrapped some sticky fire spoons at home.
It happened that Jiakang Jiayuan was on vacation, and Jiayuan followed Qiaolian to learn to wrap the sticky fire spoon, and Qiaolian looked at the pot while wrapping it in front of the pot.
There was no water at the bottom of the pot, but a round piece of iron, and some people also put a pan.
Grease the iron sheets or tweezers, and place the sticky fire spoons with the bean paste one by one.
Wait for one side to be golden brown, turn it over and cook the other side, then you can put it in the wooden trough and let it cool, and when it is cold, the outside will be frozen.
The newly cooked sticky fire spoon with the sweet fragrance of bean paste made the children drool one by one.
Xiao Jiajun hugged Qiaolian's leg and shouted to eat. "Mommy, Mommy, yes, yes."
"Wait a minute, Mom's pot is bigger, and I'll give it to you when it's cooked."
Generally speaking, if you leave it outside to freeze, it is considered cooked, but most people feel that they can't eat it directly, so they still have to take it back and put it in the pot to steam it.
If you want to eat freshly baked, then the heat must be larger, a little longer, sticky things many people have a bad appetite and can't digest, and they must be cooked thoroughly.
This pot is a little bigger, and the two sides are not only golden, but the color is darker, revealing a burnt fragrance.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, several children were hungry. So Qiao Lian hurriedly shoveled out a few with a shovel and put them on the plate and handed them to Jiayuan.
"Go ahead, go and taste it, remember, Jiahe can only eat half at most, you can't eat more, you must watch it."
Jiahe has a weak spleen and stomach, eats too much sticky and does not digest, and besides, it is bean paste inside, and people with poor appetite are easy to have heartburn after eating.
But if Jiahe is not allowed to eat it, this child must be very sad to see his brothers and sisters eating, so Qiaolian specially instructed Jiahe to eat only half of it.
Jiayuan is only eight years old, but she is very safe, but everything Qiaolian tells will not be wrong.
So Jiayuan directly took a knife to cut a sticky fire spoon and gave it to Jiahe and Jiajun.
Jiahe eats quietly and delicately, like a girl, and half a sticky fire spoon can be gnawed for a long time in his hand.
But Jiajun is different, this kid gobbles up snacks and things, and he doesn't even use half a sticky fire spoon for three bites, and people eat it and swallow it.
"Yes." This little guy didn't eat enough, and he still wanted to.
Jiayuan looked at it and cut half of it to Jiajun.
She knows her second brother too well, even if she gives him one, Jiajun can stuff it in her mouth in three or two bites, so she still gives it separately little by little, and she can control Jiajun to eat less.
Qiao Lian looked at the pot while wrapping the sticky fire spoon, and occasionally looked up to see Jiayuan fooling Jiajun, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
This girl is also a ghost with a belly, she can actually come up with this idea, okay, you have to deal with Jiajun like this, you can't let him be casual, it's good to limit a little.
Qiao Lian led the children to be busy for two days, and baked out a sticky fire spoon full of wooden troughs, so she put it in a wooden barrel and put it in the warehouse to freeze, and when she wanted to eat it, she took it back and steamed it.
The children like to eat sticky fire spoons, but Qiaolian saves trouble now, and she doesn't have to stick cakes every day.
After baking the sticky fire spoon, the next step is to make tofu, and northerners like to put the tofu outside to freeze it, and then take it back to melt when they want to eat it.
The inside of the tofu is frozen with small eyes, whether it is stewed with cabbage or eaten in hot pot, the frozen tofu absorbs the delicious soup and tastes exceptionally good.
Qiaolian's family has a lot of soybeans, and they have grinding at home, soak the beans and push them out, and make two packs of tofu at home.
Except for a few fresh ones, they are all cut into even pieces and frozen outside, so you can take them back and slow down when you want to eat them.
Busy and busy into the wax moon, no matter how the days are, to the wax month always to prepare the New Year's goods.
This year, the big market will be canceled, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell privately, and all agricultural and sideline products must be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and to buy New Year's goods, they must also go to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
In this way, the supply and marketing cooperatives in Daying Township and County are overcrowded, and before they enter Layuemen, there are many people queuing up to buy things.
Qu Weiyang works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and there is a system, Qiaolian's family is not short of things for the New Year, so naturally she doesn't go to join in the fun.
I only occasionally excuse myself to buy something, but in fact I just go out and take out the things in the system in a fair way.
After a few times, the New Year's goods are ready.
Coupled with all kinds of dry nuts that Qiaolian led the children into the mountain alleys in autumn, this year's natural preparations are also extremely rich.
"Mom, my dad has been out for a few days this time, right? Why haven't you come back? ”
Years ago, the supply and marketing cooperatives were very busy, Qu Weiyang didn't say that he was resting during the holidays, he had been busy for a long time and hadn't seen a shadow, and the children also missed their father.
