Chapter 116: Reunion of Man and Moon
After the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals were brought to the stove room to be reheated, the five of them put three long benches and served them to eat. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yan Qingjiang was placed on the upper seat alone, he couldn't tell the meaning of the last seat anyway, where Yuliang dragged him to sit, he would sit.
Yudong and Yuliang sit on the left, and Yuxiu and Yushu sit on the right.
"Uncle, you eat quickly. Yuliang stared at Yan Qingjiang with blank eyes, and waited for him to start eating after he got off the chopsticks.
According to the rules, the elders must start eating before the juniors can use chopsticks.
Yan Qingjiang looked at the dishes on the table and didn't know which one to clip first, and finally, he made up his mind to take a snail.
"Uncle, I caught this snail, or did I cut my buttocks. Yuliang said proudly, then picked up a snail to suck, and sucked out the snail meat and ate it.
Yan Qingjiang sucked it for a long time, but he didn't suck anything out, so he was so angry that he put it on the table, "Dead, don't move!"
Yuxiu smiled and pinched a chicken wing for him, "Uncle, you should eat this." ”
Then, she gave the other wing to Yu Dong, and the two chicken legs, Yushu and Yuliang, each had one.
"I like to nibble on chicken feet. She said as she put both chicken feet into her bowl.
Yudong sandwiched a large piece of chicken breast meat and put it in her bowl, "Eat meat!"
Yuxiu smiled, lowered her head and tore and ate in small bites.
Yuliang named the hoof to buy, simmered slowly for so long, it was already soft and glutinous, and as soon as the chopsticks poked down, he could pick up a chopstick meat.
Yuliang was still too short to reach when he sitted, so he simply knelt on the bench and buried himself in eating.
After this meal, the five of them were full of burps, and Yan Qingjiang touched his stomach with satisfaction and praised the deliciousness.
"Don't eat mooncakes at noon, and eat them at night when you enjoy the moon. "The mooncakes made by Yuxiu are put on the table when they worship their ancestors, but they are not placed when they eat.
Now in the weather, the food still can't be put away, so I have to eat more.
As soon as the sun goes down, the night breeze brings a hint of coolness. After dinner, everyone took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and waited for the moon to come out.
I heard that someone in the neighboring village made a vow today and invited the troupe to sing. Many people in the village went to the theater with their children.
Watching a play is a rare bustle in the countryside, and there are not a few trips a year. Like the vicinity of Yunchang Town, only those wealthy families can afford to make money.
Of course, there is also a way to make up the show and invite the team. I heard that there was a singing opera in Dongping Village for a year, that is, after the village temple was built, a few people in the village who could speak well took the lead and went to every household in other villages to write their fate.
Writing fate is a bit like the meaning of a monk's fate, that is, asking someone to make some money. From building temples and sculpting Buddhas to building bridges and paving roads, they can all be the reason for initiating the writing of fate.
A village is set up on a stage, and people from ten miles and eight towns nearby will also rush to see it if they walk for an hour or two.
Tie Dan and Yingniang have all come to invite companions. They said that if they had relatives in that village, they could get a good position.
The stage is so big, and it's hard to grab a good seat in the first few rows. Generally, people in the village will occupy one or two benches, and relatives from other villages can sit on the mountain to watch the play.
This is a very face-saving thing for relatives in this village and other villages.
Yuxiu was a little tempted, but they had a big event tomorrow, so they could only refuse to catch up with the excitement.
"When you and Xiaosi are admitted to the show in the future, we will also invite a troupe to live. Yuxiu said to Yudong with a smile.
"Okay!" Yudong promised as if he had sworn an oath.
Slowly, a bright moon climbed up the mountain.
Yuliang has been sitting in the courtyard, staring, and immediately shouting to admire the moon.
Several people put tables and chairs in the courtyard, and mooncakes, preserves, two fruit bowls and five cups of tea were placed on the table.
Yuxiu was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night with Chachacha, so she made herself and Yushu a bowl of red date tea and put a little brown sugar. I made a bowl of mint tea for Yan Qingjiang, Yudong and Yuliang, and put a little white sugar.
The fruits in two fruit bowls, one plate is goat's milk fruit, and the other plate is fried in August.
Goat's milk fruit and August fried are both wild fruits in the mountains.
The goat's milk fruit is oblong, not large, and red and ripe. The small fruit is sweet and delicious when you bite into it, and it is not bad to eat it directly, but it is also good to use it to make wine.
When it is fried in August, it is about the size of a melon. As the name suggests, in August, the husk turns purplish red and explodes, revealing the long strips of flesh inside. I heard that it can be used as medicine, but no one cares what its medicinal properties are, anyway, it tastes sweet.
Children in mountain villages don't need to buy any fruit at all. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are delicious foods in the mountains.
These two things were found by Yudong and Yuliang when they went up the mountain yesterday, and they kept them and were reluctant to eat them.
Early this morning, Yudong went to pick it when he went to the field, and took all the clothes and took them home to eat.
Oksu put these two things on the table, and Okok cheered in surprise.
The candied fruit was picked at the market on the ninth day of the new year, which is a rare thing, and not everyone will buy it.
As soon as it was put on the table, Yuliang first grabbed the one he thought was the most delicious and gave it to everyone.
He was young, and Yudong would spoil him and let him, but he never thought about eating alone.
In her previous life, Yuxiu's least favorite thing was the Mid-Autumn Festival, at that time, everyone else was reunited, and she could only guard the Qingqiu in one courtyard.
The so-called moon appreciation, if it is a literati, may also chant poems about the moon, couplets under the moon or something.
In the past, when Yan Qingshan and his wife were alive, moon viewing was a family sitting in the courtyard and listening to Yan Qingshan's stories.
Yan Qingshan has a good mouth, and he knows a lot, fox fairies, ghosts, fairies and demons, as soon as he said it, Yuxiu listened to it with relish.
Now, listening to the murmur of autumn insects outside the hospital, the laughter and laughter in the hospital, there is money to spend, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, she feels satisfied.
Of the five people in the courtyard, Yuxiu did not have the heart to be sad. Yan Qingjiang didn't feel that tonight's moon was different from other times, Yudong and Yushu would only say, "The moon is really round today", Yuliang just put the mooncakes with puppy and chicken patterns in front of him, and he didn't want anything else.
The five of them ate and drank, occasionally looking up and glancing at the moon.
In the end, the only topic of quarrel was the taste of mooncakes. Yudong and Yushu thought the salty wheat cakes were delicious, while Yan Qingjiang and Yuliang liked the bean paste filling, and the two groups of people argued for a long time about what filling to use next year.
Finally, four pairs of eyes stared at Yuxiu and asked her to say what she thought was delicious.
Yuxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What's so noisy about this, just make both kinds of stuffing next year." ”
As soon as she said this, the four people all cut off, obviously dissatisfied with her perfunctory.
Yuxiu felt a little embarrassed, "Okay, okay, it's not early, let's go to sleep." ”
"That's right, tomorrow Brother and Xiaosi are going to the school, let's go to bed early. Yushu has the softest temper, and when she saw Yuxiu looking for steps, she hurriedly agreed.
"Study, take the Xiucai test, take the top prize!" Yan Qingjiang grabbed Yudong and Yuliang and solemnly instructed.
Yudong and Yuliang thought of tomorrow, so they really didn't dare to delay, so they hurried to sleep.
