Chapter 64 Preparing for the New Year
After a night of rest, Luo Nanxing woke up naturally the next day, stretched comfortably, and then crawled out of the warm blanket.
Yawning, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Luo Nanxing didn't fully wake up until he finished these tasks.
When Luo Banxia saw the second brother wake up, he set up a small table on the kang, put the steamed lunch on the table, and waited for Luo Nanxing to have lunch together.
Luo Nanxing tidied up and drank a cup of warm water, then hugged Xiao Hei for a few times before climbing onto the kang to have lunch. I don’t know if it’s because of too much consumption. Although I ate a lot of braised pork yesterday, I smelled Fan Xiang Luo Nanxing still felt quite hungry.
Luo Banxia thought that the two of them would have to slaughter a rooster in the afternoon, and Luo Nanxing didn't get up for breakfast in the morning, so he specially cooked more rice at noon, which was exactly what Luo Nanxing wanted.
Luo Banxia chewed slowly with the bowl in his hand, while Luo Nanxing ate big mouthfuls beside him. After spending time together, Luo Nanxing also knew how much food Luo Banxia had, so it didn't affect Luo Banxia's lunch.
When Luo Nanxing fed herself, Luo Banxia also ate about the same. Seeing that Luo Nanxing was almost finished, Luo Banxia speeded up and ate the rest of the food into her stomach.
Luo Banxia has been busy all morning, naturally she won't let her do the rest of the work, Luo Nanxing takes the dishes and chopsticks on the table aside to wash, Luo Banxia sits for a while and then walks slowly in the room.
It didn't take long for Luo Banxia to start his lunch break, while Luo Nanxing leaned on the kang and started contacting friends from the Time and Space Management Bureau through Tuanzi. There were many things that he didn't pay attention to in the past few days, and he happened to be free at the moment, just to see their progress .
After learning about the progress of those people, Luo Nanxing thought over the plan again in his mind, and then asked Tuanzi for the time, and when he saw that the time was too late, he woke Luo Banxia up, ready to slaughter the rooster.
The rooster was prepared a long time ago. As the food for the siblings improved, the food for the chickens in the backyard of the family also became much better than before. Because they were raised in the backyard, they would be locked up when people came. Until now No one knew that their chickens were much fatter than before and had a lot of meat on them.
In addition to walking around in the yard at ordinary times, the chicken in the backyard now tastes not too bad whether it is braised or stewed.
After Luo Nanxing woke up Luo Banxia, he went to the kitchen to boil water, and after the boiling water was all boiled, he went to the backyard to catch chickens.
After Luo Banxia was woken up by Luo Nanxing, she passed out on the bed for a while before putting on her old clothes and getting off the kang. Today, she can't wear new clothes if she wants to kill a chicken.
Thinking of the smell of killing chickens, the two brothers and sisters planned to kill chickens in the kitchen, but Luo Nanxing boiled water in the kitchen, and the kitchen was warmed up after the clay stove was fired.
When Luo Banxia arrived in the kitchen, Luo Nanxing had already caught the rooster. He was afraid that Luo Banxia would not be able to catch the rooster, so he specially tied it with a rope so that Luo Banxia didn't have to exert effort to hold it down.
After everything was ready, Luo Nanxing forgot to cut off the neck with the knife while talking: "Don't blame the chicken, you are a dish in the world. I will send you there this year, and you will come back next year."
A large white porcelain bowl was placed under the rooster's neck. After Luo Nanxing cut the rooster's neck open, the blood of the rooster continued to flow down the wound, and the rooster began to thump.
Fortunately, Luo Banxia hugged her tightly, no matter how hard the rooster was tossing, it didn't escape her palm, and it died soon.
However, Luo Banxia waited until the rooster was almost bleeding before letting go, while Luo Nanxing took the dead rooster and put it into a large basin and started pouring hot water into it.
Luo Banxia picked up the chicken blood on the ground, put some salt water in it, and stirred it evenly. After the chicken blood solidified, it could be cooked or stewed.
When Luo Banxia was doing the follow-up, Luo Nanxing had already started to scald the chicken feathers. After soaking in boiling water, the chicken feathers on the rooster quickly fell off. The bad ones are almost done, so I might as well keep the good-looking feathers, and make a shuttlecock for Luo Banxia to play with when I have time.
After the chicken feathers were all removed, Luo Nanxing put the rooster on the sticky board and prepared to disembowel it. Luo Banxia was at the side when Luo Nanxing was working, so Luo Nanxing didn't feel the passage of time, and the rooster was packed. .
After tidying up the rooster, Luo Nanxing extinguished the fire in the earthen stove, put the rooster in a basin and locked it in the parents' room next door, and the rooster would be frozen solid in a short while.
This is probably one of the great benefits of the Northeast in winter. No matter what things can move quickly, it is purely a large natural refrigerator. Restricted, otherwise it would be better.
After finishing today's work, Luo Banxia thought about it and went to the cellar to get a pot of frozen pears to eat. Although many things were gone in the 60s, she could definitely enjoy a slow-paced life.
Think about how happy it is to sit cross-legged on a warm kang after finishing work, hold a frozen pear in your arms that can reduce the fire, and chew one if you want to eat it.
While Luo Banxia was eating frozen pears, Luo Nanxing took a frozen pear and prepared dinner while eating.
Seeing the pot of frozen pears Luo Banxia was holding, Luo Nanxing knew that this pot was finished, and they probably didn't have any dinner for two nights, so they didn't prepare anything, they just boiled some sticky porridge and two A big steamed bun for dinner.
Luo Banxia saw Luo Nanxing preparing dinner and thought that the frozen pears were cold after all, so she just ate two and put them aside for dinner.
After dinner, he continued to eat frozen pears with a bowl in his hand. Luo Nanxing ate two big steamed buns and a large bowl of porridge at night. .
In the next two days, Luo Nanxing and Luo Banxia were busy making steamed buns. This year they had no shortage of white noodles, so they simply made a lot of steamed buns with white noodles.
The big steamed bun made of coarse grains mixed with white flour is used to cover up. On weekdays, they still eat big steamed bun made of white flour. It not only tastes good, but also doesn’t make your throat hurt. It’s delicious when served with bacon or pickles!
Fist-sized steamed buns were made by the brothers and sisters and steamed in one cage. The steamed steamed buns were assembled in groups of five, and they were taken out and steamed when it was time to eat.
In addition, according to the customs here, the first and second grades cannot be lit for cooking. Luo Nanxing also packed a lot of steamed buns that were just out of the pan and put them in the space, so that the two of them would not have to eat cold meals or cold dishes for those two days.
This next year will be full of disasters for their family. Not only Luo's father and Luo's mother passed away successively, but Luo Banxia and Luo Nanxing also had accidents one after another. Peaceful day.
