Chapter 484: Mid-Autumn Festival

Zhang Taiping has been staying at home and can't feel the passage of time, so he doesn't have any special feelings for August 15, and he almost forgot that there is this festival, so he didn't prepare anything. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Full / Ben / Small / Say / Net /

On the contrary, Cai Xiaomei, who went to school outside, was particularly touched, and came back for the reunion festival, and also bought some moon cakes for the family by the way.

Mr. Li and Mr. Tang were both taken back by their families, and this day with a special status in China has been valued by many people, especially the elderly, who value this kind of family reunion.

The juniors who took the two old men away did not forget to send things like moon cakes and dried fruits to Zhang Taiping's house, plus the moon cakes sent by Mu Hongyu's sister Mu Hongyu when she came over, there were a lot of them.

Zhang Taiping does not have any relatives in his family, so in previous years, no one would come to give gifts on any festival, but this year, due to Zhang Taiping's reasons and the fact that the old man lives at home, there are many people in the village who give gifts, and there are not many things but they express their hearts.

Before dark, Zhang Taiping found time to enter the space, although it was only five or six days before opening up the paddy fields in the space, but five or six months had passed inside, and the wheat, black rice and other vegetables had already matured.

It would be a hassle to collect so many things outside, but there is no such trouble in the space, only a thought, all the wheat and rice grains are stripped away, and there is no dust like the outside, and they are directly collected into the granary built in advance.

All the ripe vegetables were harvested and some were replanted. These vegetables do not spoil when left in the space and stay fresh forever. I can't eat much at home, but I can supply it to the Green Treasure Pavilion in the city. Especially now, when you store it and wait until the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is definitely a thing that can not only make money, but also make the store famous.

When Zhang Taiping went out of the space, he brought some black rice and that purple radish. It's also good to boil some black rice porridge after eating in the evening.

As time passed, instead of darkening, the sky brightened, and the bright moon that rose east of Guy was bright. I don't know if it's psychological or natural, but I feel like the moon tonight is the roundest and brightest of the year.

The bright moonlight fell on the earth, covering all things with a silvery coat.

When the moon rose in the middle of the sky, Cai Yazhi and the other women prepared all the things, and instead of being in the house, they moved two large tables and put them together in the courtyard. You can chat and admire the moon while eating.

Because of today's special day, Shen Qingfeng did not go out to accompany Xiao Yu'er at home, so the three of them did not spend it together, but in the small courtyard opposite, maybe they had their own warmth and reunion.

Originally, Cai Yazhi was going to call Lu Feng over, and there were many people, but Lu Feng said that she didn't want to come over today, and the little girl didn't come over, and she accompanied her mother at home.

The family sat around a table in the middle of the courtyard, and all kinds of small animals in the house were called out and ran from side to side.

There are not many dishes on the table, as long as they are all kinds of mooncakes and fruits sent by everyone. In particular, there are all kinds of fruits, and Zhang Taiping took out some of the fruits in the space and placed them on half of the table.

The things on the table are arranged in such a way that they are easy to eat and worship the moon in the other.

Eat mooncakes to show "reunion". Moon cakes, also known as Hu cakes, palace cakes, moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are offerings to the moon god in the ancient Mid-Autumn Festival. According to legend, in ancient China, the emperor had a ritual system of sacrificing the day in spring and the moon in autumn. In the folk, every Mid-Autumn Festival in August, there is also the custom of worshipping the moon or worshipping the moon. "August 15 is full, Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes are fragrant and sweet", this famous proverb expresses the custom of urban and rural people eating moon cakes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes were originally used to worship the moon god, and later people gradually took the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation and tasting mooncakes as a major symbol of family reunion, and slowly, mooncakes became a must-have gift for the festival.

The old man still attaches great importance to such a festival, and does not come after eating as usual, but sits with everyone and chats about the sky, experiencing the joy of family.

The girl sat on the old man's face at this time, peeled a grape and put it to the old man's mouth and said, "Grandpa, eat grapes." ”

"Good! Good! The old man opened his mouth with a smile, and the smile on his face was very cheerful, and he touched the little girl's head with his hand.

The girl peeled another grape for herself, swallowed her mouth full of fragrant juice, pointed to the round and bright moon hanging in the sky, and said, "The moon is so round and bright today." ”

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the brightest time of the year. ”

The little girl tilted her head with her fingers and tilted her head for a while, and then asked, "Grandpa, did you say that there are fairy Chang'e and jade rabbits living on the moon?" ”

Fan Ming, who was teasing Xiaoxi with strawberries next to her, heard the words and said: "There are no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit on the moon, you have been deceived." ”

Yaya glanced at Fan Ming and didn't speak, and turned her head to look at the old man.

The old man touched the little girl's head lovingly, but he didn't give a direct answer, and said with a smile: "Whether there are really Chang'e Fairy and Jade Rabbit, this needs to be judged by Yaya herself." However, Grandpa does have many stories about Fairy Chang'e here. ”

Hearing that there was a story, Yaya's eyes immediately lit up, and she urged: "Grandpa, tell quickly, tell quickly!" ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and then began to tell Yaya the story of Fairy Chang'e.

According to legend, one year in ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky, which roasted the earth and dried up, and the common people could no longer live.

This incident alarmed a hero named Hou Yi, who climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, used his divine power, pulled out the divine bow, and shot down nine extra suns in one go.

Hou Yi has made great achievements in the world, and is respected and loved by the people, and many people with lofty ideals come to study art. The treacherous and unscrupulous Pengmeng also mixed in.

Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang'e. In addition to hunting, Hou Yi is with his wife all day long, and people envy this talented and beautiful loving couple.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism, and happened to meet the Queen Mother who passed by, so he asked the Queen Mother for a package of immortal medicine. It is said that if you take this medicine, you can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily hand over the immortal medicine to Chang'e for collection. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dresser, but was unexpectedly seen by Pengmeng.

Three days later, Hou Yi led his disciples out hunting, and Pengmeng, who had a ghost in his heart, pretended to be sick and stayed.

Soon after Hou Yi led everyone to leave, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in hand, and Wei * Chang'e handed over the immortal medicine.

Chang'e knew that she was not Pengmeng's opponent, and when she was in danger, she immediately made a decision, turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the immortal medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew into the sky. Because Chang'e was concerned about her husband, she flew down to the nearest moon in the world and became an immortal.

In the evening, Hou Yi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was both frightened and angry, drew his sword to kill the villains, and Peng Meng fled early. Angry, Hou Yi beat his chest and screamed. Grief-stricken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name. At this time, he was surprised to find that the moon today was exceptionally bright and bright, and there was a swaying figure that resembled Chang'e.

Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, put on the incense table, put her favorite honey and fresh fruits, and worshiped her Chang'e in the Moon Palace.

After hearing the news of Chang'e running to the moon and becoming an immortal, the people set up incense tables under the moon one after another, praying for auspiciousness and peace to the kind Chang'e.

Since then, the custom of worshipping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

Yaya is still young, and she doesn't know much about the love story in it, but she is interested in the elixir of immortality inside.

With bright eyes, he asked, "Grandpa, is there really that kind of immortal medicine?" ”

Yaya's innocent words made everyone laugh.

The old man also smiled slightly and said, "It is rumored that there exist in the immortal mountains overseas. ”

Yaya's eyes were full of yearning: "It would be great if there was an immortal elixir." ”

Xing Rushui smiled and asked, "Does Yaya want to fly to the moon like Fairy Chang'e?" ”

Yaya shook her head and said, "I don't want to be like Fairy Chang'e, there is no one to play there, how boring." ”

"Then what do you want immortal pills for?" Fan Ming asked with a roll of her eyes.

Yaya snapped her fingers and said, "Grandpa, one for Dad, one for Mom" said everyone again, then looked at Fan Ming and said, "I just won't give it to you." ”

"Who is rare!" Fan Ming pursed her lips.

The crowd laughed.

Most of the fruits on the table are made from the space, which is the favorite food of the birds, and only a few parrots and Xiaoxi are eaten with round stomachs. And a few big dogs can only go hungry, only the little grizzly bear gets a piece of mooncake.

Only Wukong, this guy, is not taboo about anything, and he eats mooncakes and fruits.

Fan Ming snatched a bunch of grapes from Wukong's hand and asked, "Big brother, the grapes in the orchard are long gone, where did you get these grapes?" And this strawberry and watermelon. ”

Zhang Taiping just smiled and shook his head, but did not speak. Cai Yazhi knew the reason, but she naturally wouldn't say it.

In fact, in many places, the Mid-Autumn Festival is very particular, some places will put lanterns, some places will dance the fire dragon, some places will burn the pagoda lanterns, and so on.

The most interesting thing is "throwing a handkerchief to recruit relatives". In some areas of Shandong Province, there is a custom of throwing handkerchiefs to invite relatives on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At night, set up a colorful platform in the square, arrange it into a moon palace scene, and set up jade rabbits, laurel trees, etc. Some unmarried girls dressed up as Chang'e, and after the celebration of singing and dancing, the girls threw some handkerchiefs embroidered with different colors to the audience. If the audience receives a handkerchief of the same color as the one in the hand of "Chang'e", they can go on stage to receive the award. When some unmarried young men return their handkerchiefs, if they are liked by "Chang'e", they can give them rings. After that, the two parties can make friends, and the lover will tie the knot.

Zhang Taiping didn't pay so much attention to it, they just defeated the moon god and watched the moonlight so simply.

If it was held on other festivals, people who knew each other in the village would have come over or called over to have a good drink. But tonight is different from other festivals, and the status of the Han people is similar to Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are all spent in their own homes. So no one came to disturb all night, it was quiet and warm.

When the things on the table were almost eaten, Cai Yazhi stood up and said, "I'll go in and make some porridge for everyone." ”

"I'll go in and help you." Xing Rushui said.

Zhang Taiping stood up and said, "You two sit down, I'll do it." ”

The reason why he had to do it himself was because he prepared a nutritious porridge for the mastiff.

I took some black rice and some glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice is also called Jiang rice, and long glutinous rice is indica glutinous, and its nutrition is not much better than that of black rice. The rice grains are slender, pinkish-white, opaque, and sticky. It is a mild tonic, which has the functions of replenishing deficiency, replenishing blood, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and stopping perspiration. It is suitable for nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea and sweat deficiency, shortness of breath and weakness caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, and abdominal distension during pregnancy.

Wine made from glutinous rice can be used to nourish fitness and cure diseases. It can be used glutinous rice, eucommia, astragalus, wolfberry, angelica, etc. to make "eucommia glutinous rice wine", which has the effect of strengthening and refreshing, beautifying and longevity, soothing muscles and invigorating blood. There is also a kind of "Gastrodia glutinous rice wine", which is made of gastrodia, Codonopsis and other glutinous rice, which has the effect of nourishing the brain and intellect, protecting the eyes, invigorating blood and qi, and prolonging life. Glutinous rice is not only brewed with medicine, but also can be brewed with fruits. For example, "prickly pear glutinous rice wine", regular drinking can prevent cardiovascular disease and anti-cancer.

However, modern scientific research has shown that glutinous rice contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and starch, etc., which is a warm and strong product. The starch contained in it is amylopectin, so it is difficult to digest and hydrolyze in the stomach and intestines.

Therefore, it is not advisable to consume too much at one time, and the elderly, children or the sick should use it with caution.

Its indigestibility determines that it can only be used as an auxiliary ingredient and not as a main ingredient. However, if it is used to make porridge with other nutritional supplements, it is a good thing.

Zhang Taiping is ready to mix glutinous rice and black rice, and then add some gastrodia, raisins, wolfberry, almonds, white fungus and the best honey produced in the space to boil out a pot of porridge that can replenish the brain and open the mind, strengthen the spirit, refresh the mind, beautify and promote longevity, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood.

With a high-pressure rice cooker, it was boiled in less than half an hour, and the sweet smell suddenly spread out from the kitchen.

Fan Ming couldn't sit still at first, so she ran in and asked, "What kind of porridge, so fragrant?" ”

Goku also stretched his neck in the back, scratching his ears and cheeks.

Zhang Taiping lost her appetite for a while and said, "You'll know later." ”

After cooking, the pot was opened and placed in a small porcelain bowl, Fan Ming said in surprise: "It turned out to be black rice?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Taste what else is there." ”

Since not all of it is black rice, the color is not jet black, but rather dark red, and there is a different kind of temptation when it is served in a white porcelain bowl.

The old man tasted it and praised: "Yes, the combination of gastrodia and glutinous rice is quite great." ”

"There's glutinous rice in there?" Fan Ming asked in surprise.

Cai Yazhi said with a smile: "There is no glutinous rice that has such a big viscosity. ”

Although everyone had eaten a lot of mooncakes and fruits before, this sweet porridge was still eaten.

It wasn't until the digestion was almost complete that the stomach didn't seem so bloated, and the people packed up the table and went back to the house.
