On the 28th day of the lunar calendar, they came back one after another. As a rule, they can eat raw squid cooked by me as soon as they come back. I always follow my heart when cooking food. For example, cold squid, I first blanch the cut squid, take it out and put it on a plate to cool. Immediately shoot garlic rice, hot oil will force garlic rice to smell, put lobster sauce, add a small amount of water, appropriate amount of soy sauce, and finally, pepper-what kind of pepper is not particular, raw dried pepper, Chili powder pepper, pickled pepper, chopped pepper, sour pepper ... Yes, no matter what you have on hand, different peppers have different tastes. This time, it is Chongqing chopped pepper, which is unrestrained and warm. Drop a few drops of sesame oil at last. Sesame oil is the soul of cold squid. But this time someone said there was too much sesame oil. Try to have less sesame oil next time. Uh-huh, next time, it will definitely improve.
On New Year's Eve, the three of us will go back to our son-in-law's hometown for dinner and give them time and space to play freely. In previous years, the Spring Festival was usually sunny, and a roof barbecue was organized on the first or third day. After making a list, I led two or three or four people to supermarkets and vegetable markets to prepare various ingredients. Wash and cut all kinds of things when you come back. As for using bamboo sticks to wear ingredients, they are quite enthusiastic. Charcoal is in stock. Usually, the son is in charge of making the fire, so he can't chew it. His father will appear at the critical moment to help him turn the charcoal red.
It rained on the first, second and third days of this year, so I had to play on tatami. I bought an egg twister for the Spring Festival. There is a new way to play sweetly, and all kinds of punishments are written on small pieces of paper and stuffed into eggs. Whoever gets an egg will be punished accordingly: jumping on one leg for 20 times, crunching for 30 seconds, sending funny selfies to the group ... My son brought back a Nintendo game console with European and American dance games and various dances. Four-year-old girl is addicted to jumping off buildings ...
I am the boss's mother, so I will cook three meals a day with my boss. Breakfast, with miscellaneous grains porridge cooked the night before, is standard. Everyone has been eating for many years, and this is the protagonist of breakfast. The supporting roles are still the mung bean jiaozi wrapped by my mother and me years ago, the steamed rice cake from my neighbor's house, the bread I spread ... and the pickles and dried radish I fried. They also ate very well.
My wife basically buys Chinese food and dinner. Do you have any chicken? Native chicken. The two of us take turns cooking and come up with our own specialties. I am sweet and sour pork ribs, barbecued pork with honey sauce, etc. He ordered steak, abalone chicken and so on. Having enough to eat and drink, I am the main force to clean the dishes and chopsticks, and my son is a handyman. One of them will share it when he is in a good mood.
There is a fourth meal in the evening, and the four-year-old girl has already had a "conditioned reflex". These days, the outlets of Meituan takeaway are closed at night, so I do my own DIY for supper at night.
Cook a pot of milk, oats and red beans first, sprinkle cumin powder on the homemade pork breast, and then dry it, which will be more fragrant and delicious. Hot drinks and pork breast are casual, and there is no ready-made "menu".
Boil potatoes in water, pick them up, peel them and cut them into thin slices. Do not touch the thin oil in the pot, put the potato chips in the pot and sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt-the salt is faintly visible; Guess almost, turn it over, the same sesame and salt. The other pot is cumin powder and Chili powder. Both tastes of "potato cake" are actually temporary. A few days ago, my husband and mother went to Menstrual House and moved a big bag of potatoes. My son gave me a video of potato pancakes. I was inspired. In fact, there may be an easier way.
Coupled with a variety of snacks, this "fourth meal" is very enjoyable and can be eaten late into the night. The little girl kept shouting, I really want to sleep, but I don't want to sleep yet. In fact, we didn't eat supper, but the atmosphere.
Besides worrying about fun, food and clothes. Throw their clothes into the washing machine every day. In this weather this year, clothes are basically dried by a dryer every day.
On the fourth day, I cooked two big meals. At night, set off fireworks on the roof. The four-year-old girl is excited and scared, scared and excited.
On the fifth day, they set foot on their way home. Another year. Me, just wait for the weather to clear up, wash and bask in the sun, tidy up and put it back.
In fact, I am not the "owner of the hotel", and they are not hotel guests. I am the eldest sister of my family, and they are my elder sister and my niece. It used to be three times a year, but later it became twice a year. Come back and play together. I don't know if it will become once or less in the future.
This year, my little sister said she wouldn't come back for the Spring Festival, and my big sister said she wouldn't come back until the end of the year. I feel very relaxed and can feel at ease for the New Year. But more is disappointment, loss and emptiness. As a result, I came back! My heart is full again. ...
What we care about is not the Chinese New Year, but the ability to play together. I am willing to be the "owner of the hotel" all the time, for you, year after year.
