Chapter 581 Shark Fin
The ancestors of both families will be very busy!
Seeing that her sister had taken all the cakes, Zhou Su took Li Lai and each of them took one.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi also took one.
The only two left were Zhou Xing and Zhou Gu. To be honest, the age difference between the three of them was not that big, so I felt embarrassed to accept them.
Zhou Guo said: "Big brother, big sister, just accept it. My uncle is not only our uncle, but also yours."
The two of them accepted it, even though they were not much different in age, they were still elders.
Zhou Dacang gave out all the money and was very satisfied.
Zhou Mai and the others turned to look at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo was holding her chopsticks and waiting for the old man to take the first bite so that she could start eating.
Seeing the looks from his brothers and sisters, he was stunned, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
He even touched it with his hand and said, "There's nothing."
Zhou Mai said: "As a wealthy man, you make so much money every year, shouldn't you also give us some money?"
Zhou Guo was stunned and waved his hands, "I don't have any. I have paid all the money I earned into the public. Besides, I am still your sister. You should give me money. When will it be my turn?"
Zhou Mi laughed and said, "As expected, the richer you are, the more stingy you are. You earn several thousand taels a year, but you are reluctant to give out even a New Year's gift?"
Zhou Xing and others also joined in.
Zhou Guo shook her head. "You brothers and sisters should go first. How can I, as a younger sister, surpass you and get ahead of you? That would be disrespectful of you. This is not conducive to the harmony of our family. I am doing this for your own good."
Everyone laughed and said, "If you don't want to give it to her, then don't give it to her. Go back to her room and move any good things you see to our room."
Li smiled and said, "Okay, stop teasing her and eat quickly, or it will get cold."
The old man ate two pieces of meat rolls. After he started eating, everyone started to eat.
Zhou Guo picked a few shark fins first. Well, she still didn’t know how to cook them. They were not as good as what she had eaten in her previous life.
Li and his friends were curious and picked some to eat. After eating, they said, "Everyone says shark fin is good, but I think it's not as good as mutton hot pot."
Zhou Xing agreed: "I still like to eat the radish in the beef stew."
The main problem is that there is still a fishy smell, which Zhou Guo did not remove.
After everyone took a bite, no one touched the bowl of stewed shark fin.
Mrs. Xu liked it very much and ate it with chopsticks again and again.
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Although my mother is not serious, she is quite good at eating. There are so many delicious dishes on the table, but she just picked the most expensive ones to eat."
Everyone laughed.
Of course, this thing is expensive and not that delicious. They don’t eat it, but she is the only one who likes it.
Zhou Guo said: "Maybe I didn't cook it well. Maybe it will taste good if I cook it right."
It seemed that the food she ate in her previous life wasn’t that bad.
Everyone didn't care. Li said, "It's just this fishy smell. I don't know how they got rid of it. If they can't get rid of it, it won't taste good."
The old man ate a piece of abalone and a shrimp, and said, "Then eat these. There are so many delicious things on the table. You don't have to eat shark fin."
Zhou Guo ate a piece of mutton roll and nodded repeatedly, "You're right, there's a table full of delicious food."
There was a table full of dishes, including shabu-shabu mutton, sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, prawns, chicken, duck and fish, all of which were delicious. However, the braised kelp and pig's trotter at the edge had not been eaten by anyone for a long time.
It was Zhou Su again. This little guy stood up and ate every dish.
Finally, he ate the kelp and said in surprise, "Mom, sir, uncle, brother, sister, brother, you guys eat this. It tastes good when boiled in a pot. It also tastes good when stewed with meat."
He also ate some when he was eating the pot, but it didn’t taste as good as this.
Li Lai stood up and picked up a piece. He used to wear the same pants as Li Wang. After Li Wang left, he followed Zhou Sulu all day long.
After eating, he nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious."
Upon seeing this, the family changed the direction of their chopsticks and decided to eat all the food on the table.
Zhou Gu said: "I originally thought that this thing looked like cloth and must taste weird, but I didn't expect it to be delicious whether eaten hotpot or stewed. It tastes good no matter how you cook it. It's really a good thing. I was almost deceived by its appearance."
Zhou Guo didn't like kelp very much in his previous life, but now he actually thought it tasted good. It was probably because there were not many fresh vegetables to eat during the long winter. The only things he had throughout the winter were cabbage, radish and carrots.
Kelp is also a fresh vegetable.
Li smiled and said, "It tastes better than dried bracken."
In the past few years, bracken has become famous in the county town in spring. When the time comes, the bracken is usually only half a foot tall, but those who are quick will pick it all.
They wanted to pick them and dry them to make stews in the winter, but there wasn't enough to eat them cold, so how could they have any left?
I haven’t dried a single one this year, and I miss it quite a bit.
Everyone nodded.
My grandfather also likes to eat it. It is glutinous and a little crispy, and not difficult to chew, so it is suitable for the elderly.
Zhou Dacang cherished this New Year's Eve dinner very much and savored every dish slowly and carefully. He would not be able to eat the meals at home after going to the military camp.
The Zhou family also cherished the meal and it took them more than an hour to finish it.
A pot of rice was cooked, but except for a few bowls for ancestor offerings, not a single grain of rice was touched.
Zhou Guo ate a stomach full of vegetables, but still felt like something was missing, so he had another bowl of rice to feel full.
The old man was extremely envious. "When I was young, I didn't have such a good appetite as you. If I had such a good appetite as you, how many delicious foods would I have eaten?"
Zhou Mi and others were also envious. It was true that being able to eat was a blessing.
Zhou Su didn't think so. "I still think it's better to have a small appetite. I won't feel full after eating a small bowl, and it won't waste food."
Li said, "That's right. It's only in the past two years that our family has been able to eat enough. If it were in the past two years, I would have been worried about such a big appetite."
Everyone laughed. Yes, there were so many good days that they had forgotten the days when they didn’t have enough food to eat.
After finishing the meal, the whole family helped to clean up the dishes and crowded on the kang without planning to go out.
Even Zhou Suli and Li Lai didn't go out with the village children, and they just shouted a few times outside.
Everyone knows that Zhou Dacang won’t be at home for long. After visiting the old village head and his entourage tomorrow, he will have to leave the day after tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Dacang stopped playing chess and reading, and the family huddled together to chat.
Talk about some interesting things in the military camp and strange things that happened during missions.
Made everyone laugh.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Suli also talked about some interesting things they encountered when doing business outside. Li also talked about some things at home, such as what to plant on the acres of land in the spring, and the wheat and rice seedlings to start. There is enough fertilizer at home this year, and if the acres of paddy fields are managed properly and God is helpful, maybe one acre of land can yield five stones.
Zhou Dacang was stunned. After being back for so long, he only knew that there were two more mountains and many more servants in his home. He didn't know that one acre of rice could produce five stones?
It's not like he hasn't farmed before. In a good year, he only gets two and a half shi of land, and in a bad year, he sometimes even gets less than two shi. So he can harvest five shi per acre. Could he have heard wrong?
I thought so and said so.
