"Children, children, don't cry, you will kill pigs when you enter the wax moon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info children, children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year's ...... after Laba."

There is a folk song in Huajiao's memory that seems to be sung like this.

But in the end, it is an old folk song of the past, and now it is not what it used to be, and as she grows older, the more she can realize the lack of New Year's flavor. After she stepped into society, she usually had a taste of ideas on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and as the clock rang at zero o'clock, the taste gradually faded.

But in this world, Dao was born in such a big family, but Hua Jiao found that when he entered the wax moon, the flavor of this year seemed to come out of the horns without a brain.

Killing pigs and slaughtering chickens, the yard was soon full of pickled pork legs, sausages, whole chickens and whole fish, and there were straw bale chickens with hairy and air-dried in the cool place under the eaves. In the backyard grinding shed, rice and noodles are brewed, rice wine, spring rice cakes, wrapped rice dumplings, steamed steamed buns, steamed dumplings, wontons, and cooked hair cakes...... After nearly a month, the **** steam at home is swirling, and the fragrance of rice and noodles is coming to the nose. Wait until the end of the year, open the red pot to marinate the rabbit sauce duck, and open the oil pot to fry the fish cubes and croquettes. It is also necessary to make sesame sugar, fried fried tofu, wash gluten, stir-fry melon seeds, steamed eight-treasure rice, roll spring rolls, and sprouts......

is busy, and the smell of that year slowly seeps out from this busyness.

I have almost forgotten what the taste of the New Year is like, and I am very obsessed with this sense of ritual that gives birth to the flavor of the New Year.

Even if this year's Spring Festival is bound to be simple and simple, but the New Year is the New Year, which is run by Qin Lao Niang, and the food, drink, and clothing that should be prepared are still meticulous, but they are not as fat and stocky as in previous years.

The ladies were busy preparing for food, cutting new clothes, and cotton jackets, and the men did not need to repair the houses and repair the doors and windows this year, but they still had to prepare the charcoal needed for the next year.

Especially while cutting down useless dead branches for retention, we have to take advantage of the good weather in the past few days to quickly replant a batch of seedlings.

The Qin family likes to be lively, not only is the head of the house popular, but the front yard and the back yard are also full of flowers. Not only are there a lot of woody herbs and vine flowers and plants, but there are also a number of fruit trees planted in the corners of the backyard, which are not only beautiful but also delicious.

It's just that in addition to the two ginkgo trees that have survived, the other pomegranates, cherries, loquats, citrus, flower reds, pears, peaches and other fruit trees have all died, not to mention the rest of the flowers and plants. Even if he was not scorched to death by the scorching sun, he was drowned by the flood that followed.

In particular, the oak tree that Qin Lianlong planted to make the weighing rod was also destroyed.

Speaking of which, the family decided to send Qin Lianlong to learn how to nail scales, and Qin's father listened to his old friend's words and began to plant oak trees at home.

After all, the material of the scale rod is very particular, and Qin Lianlong's master and father-in-law are only willing to use hard-boned oak wood to make the scale rod. Whether it's going to the woods to cut down trees or going to the wood row to buy timber, it's an expense. In a family like them, this is not necessary, they can plant their own trees. This kind has been around for more than ten years, and it has become the climate.

In addition to the oak trees with straight trunks, which can be used to make scale poles, all oak trees can also be used to stock silkworms. If the oak tree that grows to more than ten years old is not useful, it can also be sawed off and lined up in the open space in the shade, and the tree can be cut down to produce ears. Usually the first year is sleepy in the mountains, the second year is rotten, the ears can be seen in three years, and the harvest can begin in four or five years.

It is said that the Shen family just relied on the trapped mountains to produce ears, which was a lot of income in a year.

It's just that the pepper family just saw the ears this year, but God didn't open their eyes, but even the fungus and wood were all ruined.

Although the family still has a batch of wood that needs to be dried in the shade after cutting, planting trees is also an imminent matter.

Qin Lianlong dragged his eldest brother to help buy some oak saplings, and Uncle Shen, who knew the situation of the Qin family, helped find some hard branches of flowers and fruits and trees for cuttings.

They are all deciduous fruit trees that are just cut before the beginning of spring after the winter solstice, and there are varieties such as flower red, pear, peach, cherry, pomegranate, apricot and plum, etc., all of which are tree species that can tolerate low temperatures. As for citrus, bayberry and other evergreen fruit trees and some flowers, even if you need cuttings, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.

Fruit tree cuttings are a meticulous work, some have to be planted horizontally, some have to be obliquely planted, and some have to be ridged. Some need to be inserted, some need to be cut and peeled, in short, all methods are used in the hope of improving the survival rate of cuttings.

There is only a doorway in the family that Father Qin is deeply embedded in, and Hua Jiao is very curious about how his grandfather understands everything, but he doesn't ask anything, just quietly follows his side, staring at the movements in his hands without blinking.

This is a valuable learning opportunity, and it will help her in celery making.

Obviously, Father Qin also remembered the celery made by a few small things in the family, and when he was planting a grape ridge called "amethyst", he suddenly thought of celery that was almost made by the method of compacting the soil, so he smiled and asked the pepper that was beside him: "When can we eat the celery with pepper and pepper, grandfather can wait!" ”

As soon as Sichuan pepper heard this, his eyes unconsciously looked at the celery in the, and he let out a long breath in his heart before he stumbled and replied, "Now, you can eat it now." ”

Obviously, a few days ago, she was worried that the celery would freeze to death in the heavy snow and cold, and she couldn't get it out early. But in the past few days, the sun has come out, and the snow has gradually melted, and she has shrunk and hesitated to get up.

Even if Daddy Qin is erudite, he can't understand the thoughts of the little girl's family, especially such an outlier as peppercorns.

When he asked, he was just casually teasing the peppercorns. However, when I heard Sichuan pepper say that the celery was ready to eat, I was interested: "Then let's go and get the celery out later, okay?" ”

"Huh?" Hua Jiao couldn't hide his surprise and blurted out, but then he clenched his little fist and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go pick up celery!" ”

Just do it, and after Father Qin had cut all the hard branches of the fruit trees, the pepper immediately dragged him to pick up celery, and shouted to his brothers and sisters.

Hearing the news, the family gathered around, as if looking at a diorama.

Although there were only two small ones in the family before, Sichuan pepper and bay leaves, who were interested in this celery, the big guys only regarded it as a game of two small things. But with the planting and extinguishing of the cracks, watching the celery gradually grow under the nose, not to mention that the six lilac brothers **** have to come over to take a look, but other people have also begun to be curious. But whenever you have leisure, you have to come and take a turn.

It's just that although the decision has been made, somehow, the palms of the peppercorns still start to sweat. Listening to the brothers and sisters arguing about how to pick celery, pulling and cutting, and even more in a cold sweat, I couldn't help but pull my grandfather's sleeve and said, "Grandfather, grandfather, you have to root it." ”

Xiangye also ran over and pulled his grandfather's other sleeve, and echoed: "Grandfather doesn't listen to his brothers, so he has to pick up the soil." ”

For this, the two little things have already reached a consensus.

Father Qin laughed, took the nail rake and began to dig the soil. The peppercorn leaves all came up and were picked up again. I saw that Father Qin carefully removed the soil little by little, and soon, a little different color was faintly revealed in the black mud.

Sichuan pepper blinked his big eyes and stared at the idea of different colors and nodded unconsciously, knowing for the first time that white could be so dazzling. (To be continued.) )
