Liu Zheng took the sacrificial plate and put it in turn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Liu Song and several men also came over with various sacrifices.

First of all, there were six cups of old wine in the first row, followed by six cups of dry tea leaves, which the Bodhisattva was to take back and taste. Six cups of old wine are placed on each side, all of which are authentic Shaoxing old wine, a total of 12 cups, indicating that there is wine to drink for 12 months a year.

The second row is a five-color pastry, with printed cakes, mille-feuille cakes, yellow inner cakes, dragon and phoenix gold balls, candies, etc., and the third row is five plates of fruits, mainly apples, which means peace and security. Sugarcane, which means that it is rising, the older it is, the sweeter it is, kumquat, banana, and longevity peach.

The largest sacrificial plate in the fourth row is placed in Liu Mingyan's hard-boiled Lishi meat, that is, a pig's head, which means that there is a head and a tail. A piece of meat indicates that life is organized, and two large carp with their heads facing inward indicate that there are fish every year.

The whole rooster means that the dawn is announced, the wind and rain are smooth, and of course, the big rooster must be castrated. Rice cakes, which signify the rise of the year and finally roasted bran and brown sugar, signify the opulence of the dwelling. The seven animal plates all have meanings, which are the traditions of Yonglin City.

The fifth row is the high light of incense candles, which means that the house is full of energy, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding demons, and eliminating disasters and difficulties.

Liu Zheng solemnly lit the candle incense, and held the incense to the sky to worship three times, reciting words in his mouth, respectfully inviting the Bodhisattva to come.

As soon as Liu Song saw that his father had inserted the incense, he immediately put three second rings, and this began to "thank the New Year".

Liu Mingyan and the other children felt funny in their hearts, but they didn't show it, they just looked at their grandmothers with serious faces.

"Ah Liang and Ah Ming went to worship. Hua Dani motioned for the two grandsons to come over.

This will not be Hua Dani's attention to her grandson, it is a tradition, the "Thanksgiving Year" can only be presided over by the men of the family, and the women can only watch from the sidelines.

About an hour later, Liu Song let out three more second rings, and Liu Mingyan guessed that this was probably a congratulatory Bodhisattva.

"You two take these two carps and release them by the river. Hua Dani pointed to the two big carps that were more than three pounds and were smacking their mouths.

Although the Liu Mingliang brothers didn't understand why the good fish should be released, they also knew that there were some things that should not be asked too clearly, as long as they did it. So the two of them carried a bucket and a flashlight, and walked to the river together.

"Okay, pack up, go back to your room and continue sleeping!"

Liu Mingyan yawned and went back to the house, but in fact, she didn't do anything when she got up, so she stood and watched.

Shaking her head, Liu Mingyan still didn't believe much in the Bodhisattva, even if she was a reborn person.

But people of Hua Dani's age especially believed it, and later some people who did business also believed it. Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, almost all those who go to the temple to burn incense are doing business.

I don't know if her house will go to her house this year, before going to bed, Liu Mingyan thought so.

On New Year's Eve, the family holds a banquet, the old and the young gather, and the name is about "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner", commonly known as "Family Carnival".

Early in the morning, the Liu family got up.

Breakfast was a simple treat, and lunch was juicy green vegetable rice cake soup. Of course, the focus is on this meal in the evening.

The Liu family has not had such a lively Chinese New Year's Eve for many years, so today Liu Mingyan plans to have a traditional Chinese New Year's Eve and burn a traditional Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

A large round table was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and Liu Mingyan began to instruct his brothers to serve cold dishes outside.

Ten cold dishes, namely white chopped chicken, red paste crab, eel, spiced beef, cockles, sweet and sour smoked fish, radish shredded jellyfish skin, Sixi roasted bran, snow cabbage and winter bamboo shoots, moss peanuts.

"Grandpa, you go sit and eat first, I'll serve the hot dish right away." Liu Mingyan shouted outside, and after getting a response, she quickly put the spring roll into three or four hot oil, turned it over after a while, and fried it until it was golden brown and put on a plate.

"Little brother, is there vinegar on the table?"

Her family likes to eat spring rolls with vinegar, which she will never forget.

"Let it go. Liu Mingjun nodded violently, "Little sister, I'll take it out." ”

Liu Mingyan rolled her eyes and was an unusually positive little brother, she couldn't see it, didn't he just want to steal a few spring rolls on the road.

"Okay, let's go, beware of burning your mouth. ”

"Haha...... Save some stomach, there are still a lot of delicious food!" Zhu Lan shouted with a smile behind her son's back.

"Got it. ”

A muffled voice came, which made several people in the kitchen laugh.

Put the fish barbecue that has been stewed since the afternoon on the plate, and the thick fresh fragrance went straight to Liu Mingyan's nose, and she swallowed several saliva unconsciously.

I thought about getting all the dishes ready to be served on the table. Therefore, next, Liu Mingyan's movements were much faster.

"Auntie, let's start making fires in both stoves. ”

"Okay!" Zhu Lan replied crisply, saying that she also wanted to eat quickly!

The bow was opened left and right, and after more than half an hour, Liu Mingyan cooked a few hot dishes.

"Let's go eat for a while. Hua Dani beckoned, "Swallow, bring the warm pot, that thing can be eaten for a long time and is not afraid of the cold." ”

"Hey, okay. ”

The soup base of the hot pot is the juice of chicken and pork ribs, and it is filled with fish balls, meatballs, sea cucumbers, vermicelli, cabbage, egg dumplings, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. This kind of copper cast warm pot is similar to the hot pot, which can be added as you eat, the more you eat, the more you burn, the more prosperous it is, symbolizing the prosperity of the New Year's life.

"It's better to be this one. Liu Zheng squinted his eyes when eating, and took a bite of warm Shaoxing old wine, "I haven't eaten a warm pot for many years, and I am finally satisfied this year." ”

"Dad......"

"It's none of your business, don't say anything to yourself. Liu Zheng glared, "Eat well, Chinese New Year's Eve, don't spoil the fun!"

"Dad, eat fish balls. Liu Mingyan scooped a spoonful of fish balls and put them into the Liu Song bowl, "Taste it, how does it taste, I've been making it all afternoon." ”

Fortunately, the grass carp used to make fish balls is relatively large, otherwise she would have to be tired to death just by pulling out the fish bones.

"Hmm~~ delicious. Liu Song smiled and nodded, "It's just too troublesome to do." ”

"It's okay, it's good to be proficient. Liu Mingyan gave him some spinach, "I always think that vegetables in a warm pot are always better than meat dishes." ”

"Definitely. ”

"Anyway, I think meatballs and egg dumplings are particularly delicious. Liu Mingjun's bowl was full, and everyone saw that it was full of balls and egg dumplings.

"I said, there are so many egg dumplings, why did I only eat one, it turned out that it was all in your bowl. As soon as Liu Mingyan stretched out her chopsticks, she took two egg dumplings from Liu Mingjun's bowl, and the fast Liu Mingjun was not even in a hurry to cover it.

"You ......"

Liu Mingyan picked up an egg dumpling, shook it in front of his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth triumphantly, "It's delicious!"

turned Liu Mingjun upside down, and the egg dumplings he finally found entered the little sister's mouth.

No, he has to eat the bowl quickly, who knows which one will be cheaper in a while. (To be continued.) )
