085 Stove Day
Li Dou got up in the morning and saw that it was not yet dawn, so he lay on the bed and waited. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and so on for the invention of the sky, busy getting up and putting on clothes. Walking to the door, he ran back again, no, he will definitely sweat when he runs later, what if he gets his new clothes dirty?
Li Dou hesitated for a long time, and saw that the sky was already very bright, so he had to take off his padded jacket and go out of the gate wearing only his middle coat. It's cold, it's okay, just run and sweat later.
Zhang Yun ran out of hot water, and what he saw was Li Dou running back from outside in a single dress. Li Dou's face was flushed, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. He wasn't strong enough to sweat so easily.
"Where's your clothes?" Zhang Yun frowned.
Li Dou hurriedly said: "I didn't lose it, it's in the house." ”
Zhang Yun was even more angry when she heard this, she dragged Li Dou to his room, picked up the padded jacket and threw it to him: "Put it on!"
Li Dou saw Zhang Yun's angry face, and hurriedly put on a padded jacket carefully.
"Do you think you're cherishing things? What if you get typhoid fever?" Zhang Yun said urgently, "You want to save money?" Hmph, if you die of illness, you don't need to spend money, isn't it more convenient!"
Li Dou listened to Zhang Yun's accusation, and tears fell down his eyes.
Zhang Yun was angry that he didn't care about his body for a padded jacket, and saw that he was crying pitifully, so he had to lower his voice: "Sister Yun didn't mean to talk about you." If you think about it carefully, if the clothes are torn, we will buy new ones, and if the body is broken, it is ourselves who will suffer. ”
Li Dou sobbed and said, "For the first time in so many years, someone is worried about me and worried about me. Thank you, Sister Yun. ”
Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, his heart was sour, and he said, "Don't cry." With Sister Yun here, I won't be hungry or frozen in the future. Hurry up and wash your face, your face hurts and hurts. ”
Li Dou obediently went to the kitchen, washed his face with hot water, took the face fat handed by Zhang Yun, and wiped his face.
Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the sacrificial stove. At the same time, it is a small year, and I want to eat dumplings.
Zhang Yun led everyone and cleaned up the kitchen. Although Zhang Yun pays attention to hygiene on weekdays, the kitchen cooks and burns all day long, and it is full of various ingredients, and there is waste that cannot be avoided.
Moved all sorts of things out and cleared out a pile of garbage. Sweep the floor, wipe down the walls, and put things back in place.
The throne sits north facing south, and sits east facing west. The kitchen door of Zhang Yun's house faces west, so he sticks the stove god on the north wall. Offering incense, putting on the stove sugar, plus a plate of snacks, a plate of meat, and a plate of apples, a total of four tributes. lit three sticks of incense, inserted them into the incense burner, and led a few younger siblings to bow a few times. Following the local customs, Zhang Yun is now more and more adaptable to ancient life.
Once that's done, it's time to make dumplings. Li Dou and Li Mi have the greatest enthusiasm, Li Dou has not eaten dumplings for many years, and Xiao Li Mi, who was only two years old when his father and mother went, had never eaten anything delicious, and even his clothes were tattered and barely covered his body.
The dumpling noodles need to wake up for a while, so Zhang Yun will make noodles first. took the porcelain basin, put the flour on it, and Zhang Yun slowly poured the warm water into the basin. If you add eggs to the dough, it will be more elastic, so put two eggs, knead the dough, cover it with a pan and start mixing the filling.
Hold a large Chinese cabbage, tear off the old leaves on the outside, wash the remaining young leaves, and chop them. Then I took half a catty of pork, minced it and mixed it with cabbage filling, added dried shrimp, and mixed it with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Zhang Yun tasted the taste and thought it was okay, so he put the stuffing aside and began to roll out the leaves.
Li Dou didn't know how to make dumplings or roll leaves, so he had to light the fire on the side.
Zhang Yun took out two copper coins and said with a smile: "I put the copper wallet into the dumplings, and whoever eats it will be lucky for the next year." ”
The children applauded.
In addition to the usual dumplings, Zhang Yun also wrapped some round dumplings in the shape of ingots. Go down to the pot, wait for the dumplings to be cooked, everyone takes a bowl and eats the dumplings. Zhang Yun likes to eat dumplings directly, and Xiaofeng likes to eat them with vinegar. Zhang Yun always teased him for this: Everyone is jealous of girls, and you are still jealous of a big man?
Li Dou didn't care about being hot, picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. I eat again and again, and I still enjoy it. Li Mi ate the second dumpling, and with a rattle, he bit a copper coin.
"Ha, Sister Xiaomi will definitely be lucky next year. Xiao Feng said loudly.
Li Mi looked at Li Dou happily: "Brother, look!"
Li Dou was very happy in his heart, he believed that this luck was brought to them by Sister Yun. "Xiaomi is amazing, we must be lucky next year. ”
Xiao Feng also ate a copper coin. Xiaoxiu held her mouth, no! She was sad, and suddenly her mouth was hard, it was a copper coin! She happily took the money and showed it to Zhang Yun. In the end, everyone ate copper coins, in fact, Zhang Yun put five of them, and made a mark while everyone was not paying attention. One was served to each person at the time of the meal.
Eating copper coins does not mean that you are really lucky, but eating copper coins can make everyone have a good mood and have a positive hope. Looking at the happy smiling faces of his younger brothers and sisters and Li Dou and Li Mi, Zhang Yun quietly spit out the copper coins in his mouth. The copper coin in his hand still has a hint of warmth, which is also the luck he gave himself, isn't it?
Li Dou wanted to wash the dishes, Zhang Yun drove him to the yard and asked him to take a step. Li Dou looked at Zhang Yun's teacher again, it was not difficult to look at it, and he was about to start immediately. After he tied up his horse, he saw Zhang Yun take a thin bamboo pole, pat him on the back and said, "Your back is straight!" Your arms are too low, your hands are flat, your feet are hard to grasp the ground, your legs are pressed to the middle, and your center of gravity is shifted back. ”
"Sister Yun, what's the center of gravity?" Li Dou asked as he held back the feeling of stiffness.
"That's where you feel like your body is about to fall!" Zhang Yun said succinctly.
"Oh. Li Dou's body lifted back.
Let Li Dou take a horse in the yard, a few little guys go to the house to play, Zhang Yun put away the rice bowl and began to brush the pot and wash the dishes. There is hot water on the stove, pour the hot water into the pot, wash the dishes with a loofah, and then brush the pot. The loofah is really a natural "steel wool ball", how could such a useful thing be replaced by a steel wool ball, Zhang Yun didn't understand.
To say that the loofah is really a good thing, when the loofah grows vines, use the loofah water dripping out of the vine to apply to the face, whitening and hydrating, but also anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. The young loofah stir-fry is particularly delicious, the old loofah removes the seeds, and the brushing is not generally easy to use, and the loofah pulp is put into the teapot of boiling water, and it can also absorb the calcium carbonate and other precipitation inside, which is very useful. After brushing the pot, Zhang Yun washed the loofah and hung it on the nail on the wall.
While it was still early, Zhang Yun planned to take off the quilt cover and wash it. The house is too big, and I am afraid that I will not be able to clean it tomorrow alone. There were kangs on both sides of the hall, so Zhang Yun and Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu only covered a quilt, took off the quilt cover, and replaced it with a clean one.
Walking into the yard with a large pile of sheets to be washed, I saw Li Dou's legs trembling and he was about to lose his feet. Zhang Yun didn't care about him, put the bed sheet cover into the big basin, brought out the hot water, mixed it with the cold water, and began to rub the bed sheets with soap.
The water is from the well, and the well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not very uncomfortable. The effect of soaphorn is not very good, and Zhang Yun is more laborious to rub. Luckily, there was a washboard and a mallet, so it was much better. No wonder the ancients added patches to their clothes, pure cotton cloth was not very strong, and then such a washboard rub, mallet knocking, not broken!
I really miss the washing machine, these sheets are covered, just throw them inside, and they will be clean when they come out. Now not only do I not wash my clothes, but I have to rub them myself, and I have to clean them when I finish rubbing, and when they are clean, I have to wring out the water, wring them out and then hang them on a rope. In a word: tired!
After washing the sheets, Li Dou was still walking on a horse! Zhang Yun couldn't help but re-examine him, embarrassed by his small body.
"Okay, that's all for today! Zhang Yun told him to stop.
Li Dou breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as his heart was relieved, the whole person fell to the ground, and he was unconscious because of the pain in his legs. Slowly stood up and moved into the room.
Zhang Yun asked him to sit on the chair and rub his legs by himself, after standing for so long, he must rub his legs to let the blood flow, otherwise Li Dou will be in pain tomorrow and will not be able to get off the ground.
Li Dou bent down gently, put his hands on his thighs, and gently rubbed them through his cotton pants. With a "hiss", Li Dou gasped, this stiff and painful feeling was too unbearable.
Zhang Yun saw him with a bitter look on his face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's good after a long time." I wasn't as good as you when I first started practicing. ”
Li Dou nodded and slowly rubbed his legs. Zhang Yun sat for a while, let him rest by himself, and went out.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Xiu and Li Mi were playing hide and seek, and several people were having fun.
"Be careful, don't bump into it. Zhang Yun instructed, moved the stool, and read the notebook. This is purely to pass the time, there is no special plot in these words, almost all of them are stories of talented and beautiful women. A down-and-out scholar, who gets the love of a beautiful lady, and then gets entangled, gets the top prize, and has a bumper harvest in career and love...... One theme, but whenever a man is unsatisfactory, there is always a beautiful and golden, kind and simple upper-class woman who takes a fancy to her, and has been on the rise ever since.
What Zhang Yun hates the most is "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan", which is purely a history of struggle for scumbags. Xue Pinggui is a poor boy who was taken by the prime minister's third lady, Wang Baochuan, and then joined the army. Wang Baochuan has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, and the news he got is that Xue Pinggui has done a great career and married a princess, and then the princess let Wang Baochuan be a concubine regardless of her previous suspicions, and she is commensurate with Wang Baochuan's sisters. Then Wang Baochuan was a noblewoman for a few days and died violently. Then the scumbag and the mistress live happily ever after.
Zhang Yun threw the book into the furnace after reading it, and he was really angry. At that time, Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu was also startled, and as the eldest sister, Zhang Yun deeply blamed himself. (To be continued.) )
