Chapter 164: The Day Before Ancestor Worship
In childhood memories, the period from childhood to Chinese New Year's Eve is the happiest and fulfilling.
Fulfilling, every day there is fresh food, stuffed mouth, delicious and enjoyable.
Now Shi Ziheng is in this state, eating the rice flower tube stupidly for a long time, not to mention, holding a bowl of fragrant bean juice, and can't help but drink it until he collapses.
This made Hei Dan and Xiao Jiang look down on them a little.
The two children complained to Wu Tao more than once, why did the relatives from this treasure island have never seen the world so much?
In fact, not only him, but even Shi Qianxue, a Taiwanese college student, is no better.
Since entering the new year, the snack bars in the city, the closed ones, the holidays, and the meals have suddenly disappeared.
Shi Guangyao dragged her back to the guest house to eat, but she insisted on refusing, but wanted to follow Wu Tao and Fang Yuan and go home to eat every day.
On the day I went home to eat, I was just in time for Zhang Huilan to make tofu.
When the brine was ordered, the tofu brain was precipitated and semi-precipitated, and Shi Qianxue's saliva was so much that he couldn't hold it.
Swallow it down with a clatter.
After a while, the palm-sized sea bowl filled the bowl, poured soy sauce and vinegar, sprinkled with sesame powder, crushed peanuts, and some coriander, which made people appetize.
Wu Tao led the two cousins, holding the big bowl, and sat on the stone table under the grape trellis in the courtyard to eat.
When he came out of the kitchen, the bowls were still full, but when he got under the grape trellis, Shi Qianxue's bowl was already halfway down!
It's so hot, how do you do it?
Wu Tao looked at Fang Yuan, and his cousin and sister looked puzzled.
That's not all, when Wu Tao finished the first bowl, Shi Qianxue had already brought out the third bowl from the kitchen......
This is a foodie with unlimited potential! Whoever marries someone is unlucky.
However, this is just the beginning.
After making the bean dregs left over from the tofu, pass it with water, knead and press, and a lot of juice can be left, add japonica rice, and the rice porridge that is burned out is particularly sweet.
In previous years, Wu Tao could drink such rice porridge until the Spring Festival.
However, this year, it was only on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month that it was gone.
Why is this? Wu Tao asked the old lady, and Zhang Huilan looked at Shi Qianxue very innocently, and left without saying a word.
Shi Qianxue held the sea bowl, chased after Zhang Huilan and asked, "When will the family make tofu again?"
Fang Yuan looked at her back and said faintly: "She drinks three bowls a day, and she doesn't fall at a moment's notice, why do you say?"
So, Wu Tao decided to buy a scale and put it at home......
Of course, during this period, it is also a day to usher in the countryside.
The family received a lot of New Year's goods and souvenirs.
There are gifts from Wu Binghua's apprentices and members of the construction team, thanking him for having work and money this year.
There are also gifts sent by the victims of Xu's accounting fraud case, thanking the Wu family for stabilizing people's hearts at a critical moment.
Of course, I won't deliberately count who sent it and who didn't.
But in the hearts of Wu Binghua and the others, there are naturally rods and scales, and which people value love and righteousness and are worthy of fellowship, all of them are kept in mind.
Even Gao Jinda and Lao Ding, the village chief, came over with two bottles of old wine to talk.
There is no way, no one is strong in the situation, and you have to tie the knot, and you have to wrap up.
In the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, that is, the day of the ancestor worship ceremony.
After dinner, Wu Binghua stopped Wu Tao and walked in the vineyard for a while.
In the ridges under the grape trellises, the strawberry seedlings under the film are delightfully green.
"These days, there are a lot of folks who come to the house. Looking at the situation of our family, everyone is envious. In and out of the words, Duba looked forward to us giving an idea, pointing out the way to make money, and I pushed it to you. Tomorrow, when you worship your ancestors, if someone asks about you, you will talk about it. ”
"This matter!" Wu Tao pondered for a while, and then said easily: "This thing is not difficult. ”
“…… If someone asks you in the future, you can tell them on a case-by-case basis. If they have a laborer at home, you can recommend them to participate in skills training in the city and go out to work, and if they have money, you can ask them to buy a small commodity market stall next year. ”
"Is this reliable?" Wu Binghua was also a little hesitant.
Wu Tao said firmly, "The two clues I said are led by Uncle An, and they are definitely reliable." But you don't want to tell everyone, just look at people. lest someone go out and chew the root of the tongue, and make us come up with an idea, and it is not good. ”
"That's nature. Wu Binghua's face turned pale.
The next morning, it was pitch black outside the window, and it was about four o'clock.
After Wu Tao finished washing, he saw that Shi Qianxue and Fang Yuan's room did not move at all.
He shouted twice outside the door, but no one answered.
pushed Fang Yuan's door and locked it. Hey, is that what you mean by your cousin?
It was Shi Qianxue's door, which opened as soon as he pushed it.
Wu Tao Shi Ran walked in and looked at the sleeping position of his second cousin on the bed, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Gollum ......
But why do you swallow saliva?
Shaking his head and getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Wu Tao shouted loudly: "Second cousin, get up!"
Shi Qianxue sighed, turned over, and clamped the quilt tighter and tighter with a pair of long legs.
Yo, it didn't happen.
Knock Knock Knock......
After swallowing his saliva again, Wu Tao had an idea in his heart.
"Second cousin, I heard that my mother made tofu again today......"
"What?" Shi Qianxue sat down suddenly, "Do you have tofu brains to eat again, and do you have bean juice and rice porridge to drink?"
Wu Tao turned around and left, and there was a sound of saliva behind him, ...... a lot of sounds.
Shi Qianxue couldn't wait to jump out of the warm quilt, and chased out wearing only a suspender shirt and pajama pants: "Cousin, cousin, you speak!"
Rushed by the cool air in the living room, Shi Qianxue suddenly sneezed and woke up most of the sleep.
"Fake, of course. Wu Tao didn't look back.
"You, I dare to lie to me~" Shi Qianxue was crazy, cold and angry, and suddenly drove away all her sleepiness.
Returning to Fang Yuan's door again, Wu Tao only said a word, and there was a noise inside.
"Cousin, the second cousin has already gotten up. ”
Three seconds later, the door opened, and Fang Yuanxing hurriedly ran out, swearing and threatening: "I must occupy the bathroom before her!"
Half an hour later, Pajero drove away from his wealthy home, and it was just dawn.
Fang Yuan brought some small luggage, after worshipping her ancestors today, she was going home for the New Year, and her little face was a little sad and reluctant.
But soon she regained her strength, holding her fist and swearing: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will come over, you wait for me!"
Shi Qianxue cheered, like a middle school girl, and said, "Okay, okay, wait for you!"
Wu Tao looked out the window without any reaction, "I even guard myself from sleeping, what about the most basic trust between people?
Fang Yuan grabbed his hand and said leisurely: "Cousin, put away the New Year's money, and wait for me to come over and help you ......spend it."
The bits and pieces of New Year's money that leaked from his parents in previous years were all spent by Fang Yuan in a flicker. That's why she said that.
"No need, I'll give it to your cousin as soon as possible, haha!"
