Chapter 163: Chinese New Year
Li Qin pondered, she should still look for the opportunity to find Qin Xun once, and there are some things that she still needs to ask Qin Xun for help. www.biquge.info If she could take the opportunity to find out about the matter between Qin Xun and Fan Wenqian, maybe she could also let Qin Xun avoid jumping into the fire pit of the Fan family!
The person brought by Fan Wenqian drank four bowls before leaving. Looking at the time, it was noon. Everyone cleaned up their stalls and went back to their homes.
Li Qin warmed up the paste made two days ago, and the two pasted the Spring Festival couplets and window flowers they had bought before, and took incense, paper and steamed buns and other tributes, led the hounds, and walked out of the city.
The afternoon of the thirtieth is to worship the ancestors. Yu Fei's parents' tomb is on the mountain near Sanlitun, and now there have been great changes in the family, and there is another Li Qin, so after all, I want to see it.
Yu Fei is not married yet, and Uncle Ge said before that when he gets married, he should invite the genealogy home. Some of them are older, and they can also help him recall the names of his ancestors. As a single lineage, it should take on the heavy responsibility of worshipping ancestors.
There is a lot of snow on the mountain, fortunately, there are already many people going up the mountain one after another, of course, they are all people who want to worship their ancestors and invite their ancestors home for the New Year, so Li Qin and the others followed behind, stepping on the road they had already traveled, so as to avoid the fate of the two of them being covered with snow.
There are quite a lot of graves on this mountain, but when they reach the fork of the tomb, they can only wade through the snow on their own. The snow was repeatedly sunburned by the sun, and there was a layer of hard shell on it, but as soon as you stepped on it, it was snow as deep as the thighs.
When he arrived at the cemetery, Yu Fei first drew a large circle around the grave bag and enclosed several grave bags. Then he gave Li Qin an introduction.
It turned out that this was the ancestral tomb of the Yu family. Since the great-grandfather of Fei, he has been an Orion. When Yu Fei's father was in his father, he was originally determined to let Yu Fei no longer be a hunter, so he moved the graves of his grandfather and father out of the mountains and to Sanlitun. It's just that he didn't expect that his father died at a young age, and everything was empty again, so he was buried here with his wife.
While introducing, Yu Fei swept out a flat ground in front of the grave with his feet, which was used for burning paper and worship.
Li Qin is very unfamiliar with the process of this sacrifice, but Yu Fei will be led by Hu Yuan every year, so he is very familiar.
I saw that he first pressed a piece of yellow paper on each grave, and then went to the family temple to press a piece, and then put three incense sticks on each grave and temple. After that, pour wine, put steamed buns, and then start burning paper.
Yu Fei is in the mountains, and the time he can come out in a year is really limited. Therefore, except for the New Year, you can come to worship and send lanterns on the fifteenth, and there is no time to come out for other Qingming and the first day of October, let alone burn paper incense. So this time I brought a lot of paper, and the faces of both of them were baked red.
Yu Fei put off the firecrackers he brought, and knelt in front of the grave with Li Qin.
"Dad, mother," I don't know if it was roasted by the fire and blown by the wind, or if he was very excited, Yu Fei's face was red, and his eyes seemed to be red, "Xiao Fei has come to see you." β
"I moved to a new house the other day. The matter between the uncle and the woman was revealed. The house he bought with our money for so many years was also sentenced to me by the eldest master. I have a home. Yu Fei's voice was a little choked, but he still grabbed Li Qin's hand who was kneeling next to him, "I still have a daughter-in-law, and we will get married when we grow up in two years." Her name is Xiaoqin. β
"Dad, mother, the family is not ready this year. Next year, I will ask for genealogy, and we can spend the New Year together as a family. Saying that, Yu Fei kowtowed, "I miss you so much." β
Yu Fei's words were very simple, but somehow, Li Qin had an urge to cry. This boy, who has been oppressed too much since he was a child, has finally had a good life, and finally has the opportunity to say that he misses his parents. You know, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he never said it in front of her.
Li Qin clenched his hand. In the future, no matter how hard it is, she is willing to accompany her. She will do these words with practical actions, but she will not say them at this moment. After all, she has to deal with her own affairs, and then give him peace and happiness for a lifetime. It can't be like in a previous lifeβ
After Yu Fei finished speaking, he took Li Qin three more heads. After that, he spilled the sake on the burnt paper and put the steamed buns back into the basket.
"My aunt said that eating such steamed buns will not hurt my stomach. After speaking, he added, "I couldn't even get food before." β
Li Qin clenched his hand, in the future, they will work hard to earn money, these things, they can eat as much as they want. Their life should be based on happiness and joy, and they should not be sad because they can't eat.
Back in town, it was already a little dark. No matter how you say it, it's New Year's Eve, and no matter how you do it, you have to cook a few more dishes.
Li Qin took out the yam he bought before and made a stewed yam with pork ribs. Then the pork knuckle that has been boiled before the yam is boiled. In a small pot, Li Qin made a stir-fried pork slices with cabbage. Mix another fungus cold dish, and dinner is ready.
After simply eating this meal, it is time to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
In addition to eating dumplings, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also has to eat twelve dishes, so the next twelve months of the year will be smooth.
Yu Fei helped Li Qin chop the dumpling filling, and learned to reconcile the noodles. Li Qin started to cook big dishes.
The first is steamed chicken.
Li Qin didn't stew this time. There are many meat dishes for the New Year, although they are both short of oil and water when they are growing their bodies, but the same stew is a bit monotonous after all. Li Qin washed the whole chicken, put some rice wine, ingredients, jujubes, salt, sugar, etc., and then put it in a clay pot, added boiling water, and put it in the pot to steam.
The rooster was bought on the twenty-seventh day, weighing four or five pounds, and placed in a large clay pot. Then Li Qin stumbled the chopping wood into the bottom of the pot and burned it, and after burning two stove pits, he would use the embers to simmer.
Fish is also a big dish. Fortunately, Li Qin has many experiences in making fish, and this time he still made carp stewed in sauce. Because the fish is only delicious when it tastes, even if you can't finish it today, it will only get better and better if you cook it repeatedly.
When Li Qin finished these two things, Yu Fei's stuffing was chopped, and even the noodles were matched.
Northerners love sauerkraut, but they don't eat sauerkraut during the Chinese New Year. It is said that people who eat sauerkraut will be sour (bad temper), and those who generally eat radish filling are said to be blessed.
The radish filling is much easier to make than the sauerkraut filling. Yu Fei learned to rub four large radishes with a wiping board, then blanched them with water, and finally chopped the soft radish shreds slightly, and it was completed.
