went out to catch a few loach seedlings and yellow eel seedlings, but lost a new pair of shoes, and Lao Ao was very frustrated.
In order to avoid being scolded by his daughter-in-law, he also had to place an order online.
When he placed an order, the store said: "Dear, you are so lucky, today is the last day of our order, and the express delivery will stop soon, remember to give a good review, Mo Mo Da." ”
"If I'm lucky, I don't have to buy these shoes anymore. Lao Ao looked at the four numbers on the page and felt a little pain, that Ao Mukang knew the goods.
In the evening, there are fireworks in the night sky of the village, all small fireworks, and some children gather in the small square in front of the village committee office to play lively.
Firecrackers and fireworks, the smell of fireworks in the village, this smell and the fragrance of steamed steamed buns, even suppressed the fishing village since ancient times, the smell of the sea, it can be said that this is the taste of the New Year.
In addition, the atmosphere has also risen, and every household has hung up red lanterns, and some homes have already pasted the word "big red blessing".
The cleaners worked hard to clean up the streets, and the village committee spent money to decorate the whole village for the New Year.
Some lampposts have been erected in the village, some of the street lamps are hung on the branches of the trees nearby, most of them are still supported by the lampposts, and the village committee hangs the big Fu character with red tassels under the street lamp, even at night, there are lights shining, and the Fu character hanging ornament is still clearly visible.
Taking advantage of the good weather, some families take out the prepared New Year's goods to dry, yellow croaker, prawns, steamed crabs, these are hard goods.
There are more fish, and almost every door or yard hangs strings of dried fish, so that the streets and alleys of the village are connected, and every household hangs the fish, which has become a unique New Year's scenery.
The shuttle buses and ferries to Hongyang and the county town are crowded with people, after all, the conditions in the village are not good, and if you want to buy clothes, vegetables and drinks, you still have to go to the city.
This year, there are a lot of people who go to the city to buy New Year's goods, and the people in the village have made money in the past two years, and last year they were a little distressed and reluctant to spend, and this year the concept of consumption has changed a little.
Most of the people who stay in the village will not be idle, and most of them will be allowed to make sweet potato cakes or frozen rice candy in advance, which is a lot of these things, because it is usually a small dessert for fishermen to entertain tourists.
This year, tourists came to the village for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and there were still many people, and every household had a full dinner table, so in addition to sweet potato cake and frozen rice candy, there were other desserts, such as rice cakes.
Pounding rice cakes has to be pounded with a stone mortar or mortar, these two things are rare in fishermen nowadays, in the past, the village was a family way to celebrate the festival, there were many people, there were many children, and the food such as rice cakes was consumed, so every household made it by itself.
Later, the concept of clan was weakened, and the big guys all celebrated the New Year by themselves, so that there were few rice cakes consumed, and some people sold them in the bazaar, and most people no longer made their own, which was too troublesome.
That's it, after a long time, there are no people in the village who make rice cakes, and there are no relevant tools.
Now there are still two sets of stone mortars in the village, and then there are still mortars in the homes of the old people such as Ao Zhiman, so some people are busy working around the stone mortars and mortars.
The stone mortar is an ownerless thing in the village, and there is only a stone mortar left, and the pounder is long gone, so someone went to sit on it by himself.
This kind of hammer is a wooden hammer, made of hardwood, and the front column is inlaid with a smooth granite, which is very heavy to carry, and only in this way can the rice cake be mashed.
Ao Muyang's family is relatively small, and he doesn't entertain tourists, so he doesn't need this thing, but Song Qiumin's family wants to pound rice cakes, she is a woman who can't pick up stones and mortars, and Ao Xiaoniu is growing her body, and it is easy to get hurt when she does this kind of work, so Lao Ao goes into battle by himself.
Now you have to queue up with a stone mortar, Song Qiumin's house lined up until eight o'clock in the evening, and Ao Muyang went to the drying field behind the village to pound rice cakes after dinner.
It is quite complicated to make rice cakes, soak the rice in water first, dry it and then mix it with glutinous rice and put it in a steamer basket to steam, wait until the rice is steamed, and then pour it into a stone mortar and mash it with a wooden hammer.
This is really hard work, Ao Muyang carried a pound there and hummed and did it, Zhong Cang came back from the fishing ground to prepare for the festival, and asked: "Dragon's head, I'll go up?"
Ao Muyang took off his coat and said, "No, I have the strength, you and the black dragon can shout and cheer for me." ”
Looking at the shape of his mouth, the black dragon head couldn't help but speak for a while: "Ahhhh
Ao Muyang looked at him and said, "Forget about this, then you come over and be a promoter for me." ”
The raw material of rice cakes is steamed rice, which tends to fall out when pounded, so someone needs to push back the exposed rice or the rice cakes that are gradually taking shape.
The black dragon reacts quickly, and it is the most suitable to do this job, and ordinary people can't do this job, because it is easy to be smashed if one is not careful, and it is very serious.
In order to prevent accidents, someone will shout the trumpet next to them, and the two will follow the trumpet to maintain the rhythm.
Ordinary people pound up slowly, Ao Muyang and the black dragon cooperation is seamless, he vigorously pounds, every time the pound is lifted, the black dragon swings his hands quickly, and stuffs the pounded rice back, the two don't need anyone to shout slogans, the rhythm is very fast.
Lu Wuxian looked at it for a while and nodded: "Brother Black Dragon is amazing, this hand speed, hum, it's not that you can't practice it after being single for thirty years." ”
Ao Mudong smacked his lips and said, "Xiaolu asked you to say this, I don't want to eat Qiu Min's sister-in-law's rice cakes." ”
Even at night, there are many people staying here.
Some people are waiting to pound rice cakes in the back, and some are here to join in the fun, the big guys sit together and brag and fart with cotton clothes, and the atmosphere is good.
Ao Muyang's cooperation with the black dragon won applause again and again, and the group was like watching the street performers, and the applause was bursting after burst: "Okay, this style of the dragon head is decent!"
"The black dragon is faster, come to the dragon head village without a shadow!"
"I'm Nima, what will I do with my wife later? What is this called? Zhuyu is in front, and the dog's tail continues to mink?"
"Today's topic is too exciting, Uncle Hai, you are bold enough, you have to talk to your aunt about what to do?
Ao Muyang was ruthless and strong, and the black dragon pushed quickly and timely, so that the two of them would pound the hot rice into rice cakes after a while.
While the rice cakes were still hot, Song Qiumin kneaded them into rice balls one by one, and she stuffed them with fillings, some were peanut crisp, some were sesame paste, and some were freshly boiled chocolate sauce.
Ao Xiaoniu took two and gave them to Ao Muyang and Heilong, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiaoyang, I will give you the two of you the largest one, and there is the most sugar stuffed in it." ”
Ao Muyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you can kill me." ”
Hot, freshly made rice cakes are the most delicious, not to mention the addition of filling, glutinous soft and chewy, the rice fragrance and its own sweetness are just right, eat two pieces in this winter night, the stomach immediately warms up.
