Chapter 235 Fighting Glutinous Rice on the Day

After breakfast, the glutinous rice was steamed, and it was time for Hanbao's son-in-law to make a fool's effort.

Grandma Ou had already moved the big wooden pestle to the side of the open dam, one on one side, and Father Yin and Li Junge took a wooden pestle with two thick ends and a thin middle more than one person high, and began to make glutinous pestles.

This work requires the cooperation of the two, the girl should take advantage of the wooden pestle to add rice and turn the rice, and the boy should make the rhythm so that the girl can master the time when the wooden pestle is lifted.

Ni's mother is in a group with Yin's father, and Li Junge is in a group with Ayin.

Ah Yin smiled when she saw it: "Yo, is this going to be a competition?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "We are not afraid of the competition, as long as it is not speed, we will win the rally." ”

Ni's mother smiled: "Piwa's tone is not enough, you won't hit the glutinous cake, if you hit Ayin's little hand, I won't follow it!"

Li Junge said to Ayin: "Ayin, let's take our time first, first da, second dada, then one dada, then two dada, and finally dada." In this farm work, rhythm is the most important. The ancestors said, 'The dance of the hand, the dance of the foot', this music and dance are all from the farm work, and it is difficult for us!"

Mother Ni smiled and said, "Yo, this is a dumpling and I still look through the book to find the reason!

Ah Yin also smiled and said, "I think it is also Xuan! It is estimated that Erpi is just a good glutinous rice cake! Otherwise, we will surrender first and lose half of it." ”

Li Junge feigned anger and said: "How can you surrender before a battle? Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, how can you know if you don't try!"

So the two sides started a war, Li Junge's side was really slow, and Yin's father had three regiments on his side, and only one regiment came out here.

Grandma Ou smiled and divided the rice dough into one or two catties, pressed it into a round cake, sprinkled with rice flour and set it aside to cool.

After the glutinous rice cake is cooled, it becomes hard into a full moon, and Grandma Ou points the red flower in the middle of the glutinous cake, which is beautiful one by one, and stacks several bundles to give away, which is beautiful and convenient.

The second regiment of Li Junge's hands was familiar, and he began to change the rhythm, and the two regiments were played on the side of Father Yin, and the two regiments were also played on Li Junge's side.

By the time of the third regiment, the speed on both sides was almost the same.

Father Yin smiled in surprise: "Ouch, this book is really different, it's fast!"

Then the two sides are consumed, and the glutinous rice on the big basket is piled up more and more, and the more tired and higher it is.

After more than an hour, Father Yin put down the wooden pestle and shouted, "No, my hands are sore, I have to take a break, I'll drink some water." ”

Li Junge smiled and said, "Ayin, how about it? I said that the rally will be won, right? When Yin's father rests for a few more rests, we will catch up." ”

Ayin said: "Oh no, I'm also tired of squatting, I also have to rest......

Li Junge said: "How can you do this? I am not tired of shouting, and I am not allowed to stop!"

Ah Yin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you reckless!

Ni's mother couldn't laugh: "One is dragging its feet, when will this work be done! Forget it, you and your father are resting, I can get a group with Piwa!"

Li Junge turned into a humanoid pile driver in the morning, without stopping, and then even Ni's mother couldn't stand it, so she changed Ayin to take over, and she had to take a break.

After the two big dumplings were finished in the morning, Yin's father said triumphantly: "Amazing! This year, our family's glutinous rice dumplings are the first to be finished in the village, right?"

Grandpa Yu shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, if I had met it twenty years earlier, I wouldn't have been able to pass on this style, and now, I can only play the glutinous rice cake......"

The noon food is this fresh glutinous cake, just a few old people of the same generation as Grandpa Yu came to discuss, Grandma Ou will bring out the brown sugar water, sesame sugar, peanut sugar, soybean flour sugar, rock honey bowl, everyone sat in the hall and chatted while eating.

Grandpa Yu is called "Zhaizhai" in the village, and the rest are called "Zhai Lao", which is also equivalent to the relationship between the white old man and the director of the Jiachuan Lanxie.

Li Junge saw that the fingers of several old people were yellow, so he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them out.

The old people looked at the Huabiao on the cigarette box and said, "Yo! This is a good cigarette! Piwa is good, and our Ayin is also a poisonous eye." ”

Li Junge was pretended to be modest: "Wherever and wherever you are, this is because you have educated Ayin well, and Ayin has educated me well, in general, you have educated me well! I will work hard this year to catch up with her level as soon as possible!"

Several village elders were choking on smoke with laughter, and they all said that He Erhu had to have half of the mouth gloss of the old people to coax the elders, and we would not arrange for him to pass the customs!

After laughing, an old man said: "Old village, this year our village is not the same as in previous years, many people are asking, can the time to welcome the dragon be earlier?"

Another village elder said: "It's just that in previous years, there was no grabbing the head, and I haven't seen any one start it for decades." Now the people in the village are all different, and they are all holding back to grab the dragon god! I am afraid that when the time comes, I will be hurt and angry and make jokes, and this year will not be beautiful. Therefore, I specially asked to ask, when is it appropriate to welcome the dragon?"

"Yinglong" is to welcome the Dragon Day, that is, after all kinds of things have been done on the morning of the first day of the new year, the head of the family lights firecrackers before breakfast, announces the meal, and the whole family officially starts the New Year.

In Miao Village, which family has the earliest firecrackers on this day and which family has the earliest year, it means which one is the most diligent. Even if the firecrackers go off first and grab the dragon god, then this family will make a fortune this year.

Therefore, on this day, the heads of the family have rushed to get up early to cook, and start the "chirp" ceremony early, striving to grab the dragon god, in order to show that the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and they will get rich.

As long as it is past twelve o'clock on the day of the rabbit, even if the dragon day comes, if any one just says that they are having breakfast after twelve o'clock, theoretically there is nothing wrong.

Li Junge has a black line in his head, just such a little thing, the village has to discuss it, this democratic style is well grasped.

An old man said: "Piwa and their mountain, are all fired after twelve o'clock, this year everyone is holding back to rob the dragon god, I think they can go, simply set until twelve o'clock in the evening, everyone to rob the dragon god together!"

Grandpa Yu smiled: "It's not a big deal, let the babies make trouble if they like to make trouble, the New Year looks festive, if there are many, just put it when you grab the dragon god, and put it when you 'chirp', it's not that you can't afford it!"

Li Junge covered his mouth and snickered, remembering the joke "When Lao Tzu is rich, he will have to buy two bowls of soy milk".

The matter was agreed, and after eating and sending off the old man, Ayin carried a small basket and pulled Li Junge up the mountain.

Li Junge couldn't think of anything else to do, and asked, "Ayin, what else do you want to get?"

Ayin smiled: "Aren't you going to make frozen fish? ”

When the two of them came to the ditch on the mountain, Ayin pointed to a plant with wide leaves and veins and said, "Look, these are them!"

Li Junge said: "What should I be, it turns out to be ginger! Hey, no......

Ah Yin smiled: "It's really wrong, this is Ye Hansu, also known as butterfly ginger, roadside ginger, and ginger at home is not the same thing." ”

Then squatted down to dig the night cold Su, Li Junge picked it up and looked at it, it was really similar to ginger, but it was smaller, and when you smelled it, there was also a spicy taste.

Ayin said: "When the night cold Su blooms in October, it is beautiful, and the taste is also fragrant, there is a pot in my office, haven't you ever found it?"

Li Junge said vigorously: "When I go to you, I can't see people, who will pay attention to the flowers?"

Ayin glanced at Li Junge and said, "This flower is the same as the fake sour pulp used to make ice powder, it is not a native plant of our China, it is transmitted from India and Malaysia. Ginger flowers symbolize simplicity. When it blooms, a bud blooms five or six white and yellowish flowers, each with three petals, like a fluttering white butterfly, so Europe and the United States call it 'butterfly lily'. ”

Then he glanced at Li Junge sweetly: "Its flower language is: leave the memory forever in the summer." ”

Now Li Junge understood in seconds, and he smirked: "Okay! This is good! When I go down the mountain, I will plant a large piece of it!"

Ayin said with a smile: "It is not only a natural air freshener, but also a good medicine, which has a miraculous effect in treating children's anorexia, just cut one or two pieces of porridge." ”

Li Junge shook his head and said: "Then it was born in the wrong place, Li Jiagou's baby is anorexic, I haven't heard of it yet." ”

The ginger roots of Ye Hansu were cut and put in a basket, and Ayin brought them down the mountain, some of them were sent to the kitchen, and the rest were spread out on a dustpan to dry.

Grandpa Yu looked at Ye Hansu and said, "But what about the good things, urinary tract diseases, respiratory diseases, headaches, body aches, rheumatic pains, all have effects." ”

Idle, Li Junge came to the kitchen to watch Grandma Ou make frozen fish.

Frozen fish is actually a seasonal dish of the Miao family in winter, but in the past, the mountain was closed in winter, and Li Junge came up in summer and autumn, so he had never seen this dish at all.

Grandma Ou scraped and cut the two carps into fish pieces, put them in water and boiled them until they were seven or eight mature, then successively mixed them with white tofu, yam root, oyster mushrooms, ginger, and night cold su and continued to boil until the soup was white and thick, then put in salt and peppercorns and stirred well, and continued to cook a little, and even the pot was picked up and put on the shaded veranda and put it aside.

It's really zero difficulty, Li Junge smiled: "This dish is too simple, right?"

Grandma Ou said: "It's very simple, but it's still delicious, so after one night, the pot with fish and soup will be frozen into a whole piece, take it out and cut it into small pieces with a knife, and pour seasonings on it, which is a good dish for us during the New Year, haven't you eaten this?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is the first time I have spent the New Year in the village, and I have never seen this dish." ”

The dinner is very rich, fried glutinous ba, sour soup fish, crispy meatballs and roasted cabbage, roasted three fresh, shredded winter bamboo shoots and pork, and bracken baba back to the pot meat.

However, this meal was not eaten on the table, but Grandpa Yu set fire to the fire in the hall, and everyone gathered around the fire pond, drinking and eating.

This is called "over-the-ground meal", because the Miao family believes that the fire pond is the place where the soul of the ancestors is attached, and the meals must be packed and placed on the ground in clay containers, so that the ancestors can eat them.
