Some people say that the first day of the first month is over, and the year is over.

The real Chinese New Year is a few days before the year, the farmers rest, the workers take a break, the big guys are waiting for the New Year, at the beginning of the first month, although people have not yet gone to work, but the heart feels that the year has passed.

In the first month of the year, Ao Muyang went to his uncle's house for a turn, according to his meaning, he just went to pay a New Year's greeting.

As a result, his uncle and aunt were unwilling to let him stay for dinner.

So from the second year of junior high school, he continued to eat until the fifth day of junior high school, and he had a big meal to eat every day.

Now he has become the pride of his relatives, because he bought a large fishing boat and opened a fishing ground, and his fame in the surrounding towns and villages has suddenly grown.

In addition to his uncle and aunt's house, he also had other relatives who began to come to the door to talk about the relationship, and some relatives who had not moved for many years called him in the first month and asked him to come over as guests.

He had never seen some of his relatives when he was alive, and he had never seen them invite them when they were alive, and he had never seen them come to worship when his parents died, so he politely declined all these invitations.

The fifth day of the first month, which is an important day in the first month, is called "breaking five", according to China's vast homophonic character culture, this is also called "splashing dirt", and the common name is "sending poor soil".

On this day, Ao Muyang took Zhong Cang to clean up at home, and according to custom, every household should clean up and down the house on this day to drive away the poor.

He was wiping the window diligently, and the general who was in charge of holding the rag for him suddenly threw the rag in his mouth away, and swooped out the door.

The overlord who was lying on the door of the house was stunned, waved her ears and listened for a few seconds, and quickly got up and rushed out, which was called a fire.

Ao Muyang's heart moved, he went out to take a look, and saw Lu Zhizi squatting at the intersection and grinning to tickle the general.

The general rolled happily in front of her, scratching with his paws and gnawing lightly with his mouth, apparently happy to see Lu Zhizi again after many days.

Overlord Flower was also very happy, and rushed over and pounced, Lu Zhizi exclaimed, and was knocked to the ground with a suitcase.

Ao Muyang hurriedly walked over and pulled her up, and said with a smile: "Come back so early?"

Lu Zhizi stroked his hair messed up by the overlord flower, and said, "What, you're not welcome?"

Ao Muyang laughed and said: "Warm welcome, come and welcome those who beat gongs and drums!"

Overlord Flower still wanted to pounce on her, but Ao Muyang pulled it back with the back of her neck and scolded: "What pounce on? How do I usually teach you?"

Lu Zhizi taught the students one hand after another, but he was extremely protective of the overlord flower.

Seeing the aggrieved appearance of the overlord flower, she hurriedly pulled her to her side and said to Ao Muyang: "Don't be in a hurry to show your majesty, how are you raising the overlord flower these days?"

Ao Muyang said: "When you asked me to raise it, this bear child was ninety pounds, and now it is ninety-five pounds, and it grows half a pound a day, how do you say I raised it?"

Lu Zhizi sighed, and said helplessly: "Alas, my overlord flower is a lady, I worked hard to control the amount of food and control her body before, but you fed it for a few days and couldn't control its figure, and I had to lose weight for it when I went back." ”

Ao Muyang suddenly realized: "I said, when you dog eats, it's like robbing, following the back of people's butts all day long, picking up what to eat." I thought it had a natural appetite, but it turned out that you were hungry and scared. ”

Lu Zhizi rubbed his stomach and grinned: "I'm also hungry and scared, and I haven't eaten much at home during the New Year." ”

Ao Muyang took her hand and said, "Go, come with me, I'll make you something to eat today." ”

He soaked glutinous rice the day before yesterday, the rice was sent by Ao Fugui, he said that it was a friend from Yungui brought good glutinous rice, Ao Muyang wanted to use it to make a snack, Lu Zhizi came back at the right time to catch up.

There is a water mill in the village, and he brings the soaked glutinous rice over, grinds the rice into rice milk, and then uses a cloth bag to fill the glutinous rice syrup water, hang it up and drain the water.

While draining the glutinous rice, he went to get a piece of lard.

This is still left from the previous pig killing, there is no water at all on the good lard, the fascia and blood streaks in it have been removed, and it is white.

Ao Muyang quickly chopped the lard, and the black sesame seeds and walnut meat that were fried during the Chinese New Year at home were also chopped, and then he added white sugar and fine sand sugar, and stirred them together with the minced lard.

After cleaning up, he went to touch the glutinous rice noodles, which were not sticky or dry, just right.

Lu Zhizi looked curiously at the side and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ao Muyang squeezed his eyes at her: "You'll know later." ”

Lu Zhizi asked, "Then do you need my help?"

Ao Muyang smiled: "It's really virtuous." ”

Lu Zhizi threw him a roll of the eyeball, and ran out to play with the general and the overlord flower.

Ao Muyang rubbed the glutinous rice flour, then pinched a ball in his hand, put it on the panel and made a film, he pinched a little lard filling with his other hand, and easily pinched it into a small ball with his fingers, and wrapped it in the glutinous rice skin.

In this way, he rolled the glutinous rice ball until it was drip circle, and then stopped and put it aside.

After a while, a bunch of these small glutinous rice balls appeared on the panel.

Lu Zhizi came back to take a look, and immediately laughed: "Ha, I know, Tangyuan!"

Ao Muyang smiled: "What do you know, this is not a rice ball." ”

The glutinous rice dumplings on the panel are indeed very similar to the rice balls, but the difference is also big, one is a small head, but the skin is very thin, the color is as white as mutton fat, and because Ao Muyang has a lard on his hand when the ball, it seems that it is shiny on the outside.

When the gnocchi is ready, he boils water and boils the pot.

During the Chinese New Year, he had been using the stove at home, and Zhong Cang came over to help him light the fire with great eyesight, and soon the water in the iron pot was boiling.

The general smelled the lard and came over to probe his brain.

Ao Muyang reached out and grabbed it violently, and dragged it into the pot: "Come, curious, aren't you?, you go in and take a look, take a good look." ”

The water vapor rose, and the prickly general's skin ached, and it struggled to run, and a pair of big hands silently reached up and pressed its legs from below.

The general turned his head in despair and saw Zhong Cang's silent face: "Bow your mother!"

It hurriedly screamed at the deer, stretched its neck and screamed miserably: "Woo woo woo!"

The screams have changed their tone!

Lu Zhizi hurriedly came over and patted Ao Muyang's hand away, picked the white of his eyes and said, "What are you doing, I'm scared of it, it's not sensible." ”

Ao Muyang smiled: "You have to let it remember things." ”

The water in the pot was boiling, and he put the dumplings down one by one, and gently stirred the boiling water in the pot with a spoon to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

After a while, one by one the dumplings floated up, after dipping in water, the appearance of the dumplings became more and more smooth and bright, the thin glutinous rice skin was almost translucent, as the dumplings beat in the boiling hot water, you could see the rare viscous juice flowing inside, it was amazing!
