Chapter 145: Mid-Autumn Festival
Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival was spent in Chongtang, with bitter wind and rain, and tears of all sizes have been dried up, and there is no reunion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sichuan pepper doesn't want to think about it anymore.
But this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the last Mid-Autumn Festival that dill spends at home, and it is the last reunion.
After Dill got married in October, she took her husband's surname, and these festivals and sacrifices of the Qin family had nothing to do with her. She has to take on the responsibility of being a wife and a daughter-in-law, and cooking festivals and sacrifices for her husband's family.
Qin Lao Niang was dotted up half a month ago, and the Beijing-style and Southern-style moon cake materials she was good at were prepared as soon as they were prepared.
Not only do you have to do it yourself, but you also have to teach dill again hand in hand.
Dill is very serious in learning, she knows that everyone knows that her grandmother is good at cooking on the stove, and she can't embarrass her grandmother.
And the pepper bay leaves are not to mention, even with fennel and cloves, they follow Qin Lao Niang hand and foot, and follow her to make moon cakes.
Not only for the sake of eating, but also for the sake of fun.
What Beijing-style mooncakes are white, red, pulp, and puff pastry, which are rarely seen in the south. Every year, the family has to make some things to give to relatives and friends, but they are rare.
Although the southern-style moon cakes are all puff pastry moon cakes, the fillings are very particular, what clear water roses, crystal hundred fruits, sweet leg hundred fruits, white sesame pepper salt, sand lard, absolutely no worse than the one bought in the pastry shop.
The pepper was in a dazzled hand again, and the old lady of Yang Qin made a puff pastry mooncake with fresh meat.
Qin Lao Niang couldn't help laughing and asked Hua Jiao: "We like to eat meat like this!" ”
Sichuan pepper smirked, how do you know that although this is the first time that Qin Lao Niang has made fresh meat mooncakes, but in the end, the skills of all these years are here, but they should not be underestimated.
The crust is crispy and thin, and the meat filling is just not greasy, but it is the most popular.
This is also something that Qin Lao Niang never expected, and asked Du Shi to go to Chongtang to chop the meat, and made several furnaces for the little characters to eat in one go.
In addition to eating at home, I also made a lot of mooncakes and gave them to relatives and friends. The Fang family and Grandma Yu naturally will not fall, and each family will come over again.
It's just that I remembered that although the dowry of dill has been dotted one after another, and the girl has already begun to write, she forgot to prepare a cake mold for her.
The cake molds of the pepper family are all hand-made by Father Qin, and after so many years, there is already enough box, which can also be called an heirloom.
There are the eight immortal longevity peaches used to celebrate birthdays, the lotus pisces and pomegranate blossoms used when getting married, and the Guanghan jade rabbit and Chang'e running to the moon used in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's a work of art, and the two pepper bay leaves refuse to be put in their hands.
Father Qin personally created a whole house for dill, only a lot more, but he also forgot about this pastry mold.
Busy looking for Du Limu, I carefully made two sets of molds for dill, one set of zodiac signs, and one set of twelve flowers.
Dill blushed, and Yao helped her put it away, but there was something unpleasant in her heart.
The eldest daughter who grew so big in the palm of her hand, how could she not have been so intimate and close to the flesh to receive such a big one.
Since she could walk, she began to teach her how to do her duty as a girl, especially the eldest sister. Now I have to teach her how to be a wife and a daughter-in-law, how to get along with her husband, how to get along with her parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, how to establish herself in the clan, and how to have children.
Although her daughter knows that she can do these things well just by being exposed to them since she was a child.
But I still can't help but worry.
Since then, although she is still holding her heart and liver in the palm of her hand, she is also the daughter-in-law of someone else's family.
Compared with Yao's sadness, the dill who is about to go out is not without expectations in addition to being worried and afraid.
Since the marriage, the Shu family and Shu Binggeng have been diligent, not to mention the decent and practical four-season rituals every time they buy land, even when it comes to the solar terms, they have never been empty-handed. There are orders for dill, and there are also those who are sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.
Dill is leading by example at home, taking on the responsibility of the eldest sister, and she is just a happy little girl to be married, in the dead of night, she will also think about the days after getting married, and think about the white orchids that she sent to Xizhu and the white orchids worn by the Xixi Festival on Qixi Festival, and I don't know what the Mid-Autumn Festival will send.
But in addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival, he also got a small lantern with the Qin family's string of little boys and girls, or rabbit lamps or painted flowers, birds, insects and fish, but when he arrived at dill, it was a small lantern painted with hosta flowers on a moonlit night.
As soon as the peppercorns took a look, they were snatched away by the dill and hid back in the inner room. Later, I learned that there seemed to be a lantern riddle written on the lantern.
The little boys and girls just got together and giggled together, and they didn't know what to laugh at. Before it got dark, he lit a candle and hung a small lantern in the courtyard.
After eating the reunion dinner overnight, he set up an incense table in the courtyard, put on the mooncakes made by his own family and sent by the Shu family, as well as watermelons, pomegranates, red dates and other fine fruits specially prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The family sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and gossip and eat reunion moon cakes, as well as the lotus-shaped watermelon that Qin Lianfeng took a lot of effort to cut, dill fennel peeled pomegranate seeds and saved them in a small bowl for Sichuan pepper bay leaves to spoon and eat, and the fifth cousin secretly dipped osmanthus wine to tease pepper and bay leaves to eat.
Xiangye wrinkled his face, spit out half of his tongue, and was already teary, but the pepper was pursed and tasted.
Lilac, who didn't have time to stop it, stared at the pepper with round eyes: "This little thing of ours is not only a snack, but also a little wine worm!" ”
However, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Fang Liang, who had been looking forward to the season, rushed over and began to follow Father Qin, who had put down the wooden card work in his hand, to start from making furrows, and learn the making skills of white celery little by little.
In addition to Qin Lianbao, who couldn't get out of the quilting shop, and Qin Lianhu, who suspended his work and was responsible for the autumn harvest and autumn sowing of more than 70 acres of cultivated land at home, Qin Lianxiong and Qin Lianfeng, who also suspended their work, and Qin Lianlong, who put away all the guys who made the rod scales, all focused on the arrangement of white celery.
The acres of land in the east garden have long been cleaned up, and fertilizer and quicklime have been sprinkled several times.
However, Father Qin did not plan to plant celery on these twenty acres of land in one go, first, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of it, second, I am afraid that there will be a gap in the number of celery planted, and third, I have discussed with Guo's shopkeeper that it is best to stagger the day to go on the market to ensure that you can see white celery in winter.
So I had already thought about it, but I was planning to make three stubbles of celery. (To be continued.) )
