The Great Cold is the last solar term of the year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the end of the year, there are traditional festivals such as Laba, New Year, Xiao Nian, and Spring Festival.

And this year's big cold just overlaps with the small year.

As soon as the small year arrives, the flavor of the year gradually becomes stronger, and some people in the countryside will worship the king of the stove, because the small year is also the festival of the king of the stove, like Su Can when he was a child in the countryside, the old man in the countryside would offer candy to the king of the stove when he sacrificed to the ancestral house, candy is a special sugar in the countryside, very sweet, and can even stick the teeth of seventy or eighty old ladies down, the people in the countryside are very simple, it is estimated that they hope to worship the king of the stove, let his mouth be sweeter, and say more good things when God reports the situation to the Jade Emperor.

Of course, there are very few chimney stoves for cooking in the city now, only honeycomb coal or gas, and this traditional activity has gradually been thrown into history with the changes of the times.

However, in Su Can's opinion, some dross can be discarded, but some traditions are the essence.

For example, cutting window flowers and pasting Spring Festival couplets, which can be said to be a symbol of the strong flavor of the year, who doesn't have a Spring Festival couplet? The New Year is in full swing, firecrackers are set off on the streets, fireworks and saltpeter have a strong taste, and Chinese people like to be lively and lively during the festival, and the sound of firecrackers renders the atmosphere of the New Year.

In the rural areas in the south, some people still make some rice cakes, but Su Can's family doesn't have them, and his grandmother's family stores some every year, and Su Can's family went to get them in previous years.

I don't know if my grandmother's house made rice cakes this year.

Su Can has had a busy year here, but something wonderful is happening somewhere in the small city.

Yuexiang Dumpling House is located on the roadside of Sanyang Street, with green tiles, white walls, wooden eaves, red paper-cuts on the windows, Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the door, and six or seven red lanterns under the eaves.

Although it is the custom of northerners to eat dumplings, after all, dumplings are common throughout the country, and many southerners like to eat dumplings.

Cheng Linyi and Lin Shu took Cheng Keshu to this dumpling restaurant, wanting to try the craftsmanship of this shop, I heard that there is a master here who used to be a special chef, and later specialized in how to make the best dumplings in this store.

Today is full of New Year's flavor, there are firecrackers outside, there are many people inside, Cheng Linyi and the three of them ordered two cages of dumplings, dipping sauce, seasoning are ready, some are aged old vinegar, some are secret dipping sauce, and pickled salted radish, the taste is very unique, sour and sweet.

Cheng Linyi rolled up his sleeves with a smile, and said to his wife Lin Shu and daughter Cheng Keshu: "I have long heard that this dumpling restaurant is doing well, but I have never had the opportunity to eat, and now that I am free, our family of three will have enough to eat." ”

Lin Shu shook his head and chuckled: "You, wait a minute, eat enough." ”

Cheng Keshu nodded "um", in the eyes of her family, she is a good girl, very obedient, she wore a red sleeveless jacket today, which is a thermal underwear, which can keep warm and cold, winter jeans wrapped her slender and straight legs, her hands were pillowed on the table, she was holding chopsticks in her right hand, and she was pinching her white nails in her left hand, as if she was thinking about something.

"Mom and Dad, I'll get up and go to the store across the street to buy something, and I'll be back soon." Cheng Keshu frowned slightly, got up and went outside.

"What are you doing with your daughter?" Cheng Linyi said curiously.

"How do I know, eat your dumplings." Lin Shu said angrily.

The waiter took a paper towel and put it on the table, put a special dipping sauce, onion and garlic, and chili oil, and poured it into a white porcelain plate, which was very beautiful.

Cheng Linyi used chopsticks to pick up the neatly steaming dumplings in the whole cage, dipped some sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and nodded incessantly, "This taste is really nothing to say, you dip some sauce and try it." ”

These dumplings are like crystals, fragrant, and the smell is wide open.

At this time, a family of three walked in outside, the middle-aged man was very calm, his two eyebrows were particularly thick, next to him was a middle-aged woman, very well maintained, even though she was old now, but it can be known that she was also a first-class beauty when she was young, and she was held by a girl.

The girl is very beautiful, with a melon seed face, small dimples, tiger teeth slightly exposed, a pair of eyes looking forward to it, very smart, full of aura.

"What a handsome girl, on par with our daughter!" Lin Shu whispered to Cheng Lin Yi.

Cheng Linyi nodded, this girl is indeed very aura, but her daughter is a fairy, and the two have different beauties in different fields, one is appearance, and the other is temperament.

Su Jiedong frowned, looked around, there were crowds of people next to him, and there was no empty seat at all, so he could only blame the business for being too good and too full.

Wu Liyin also had a headache, so many people eat dumplings here, not noodles, and there may not be a vacant seat for a while, so she said to Su Jiedong: "Why don't we go to other dumpling restaurants to take a look, and we don't necessarily have to go to this dumpling restaurant to eat." ”

"The taste of this place is delicious, and other dumpling restaurants don't eat that kind of taste."

"So what to do?" Wu Liyin said.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak, and let her parents discuss there.

Cheng Linyi took a look at his table, it was a bit wide, if it was squeezed, it could just accommodate six people, but he had to ask the boss to add a stool.

So Cheng Linyi coughed lightly and beckoned to Su Jiedong, "Brother, I still have a place here, you can come over to the table." Lin Shu also smiled at them.

Su Xie Dong glanced at each other, he walked over, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this, it's really troublesome for you." ”

"It's okay, it's just three of us, and we can't afford to occupy such a big table, just squeeze it, not to mention that meeting is fate, why care so much." Cheng Linyi said that the head is the way, in fact, he still wants to wait for his daughter to come back, to see if his daughter is better, or the daughter of this family is better, this old Cheng is born a little like to compare.

"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Su Xiaoxiao." Su Xiaoxiao is also very well-behaved in front of adults, and she doesn't look weird.

"Well, okay, this is the crystal dumplings that have just been served, you can eat them while they are hot, by the way, it is best to eat them with dipping sauce, they taste very good." Cheng Linyi said.

"Brother, I'm also a regular customer here, and the signature dumplings in this store are really good."

"Hehe, your daughter is really good-looking, on par with my little girl." Cheng Linyi pretended to be inadvertent.

"Huh! Your daughter is on par with mine, isn't she? When Su Jiedong heard this, he blinked his eyes and expressed some disbelief.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." A soft voice rang out.

Su Xie Dong and the others all turned around, even Su Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes opened, and they quickly looked back, their eyes were full of incredulity.
