PS: Thank you for the book ghost 1 big reward, thank you for the support of the large monthly pass of the state-owned enterprise, and I don't recommend it next week, depressed, ask for a few monthly passes.
"By the way, I'll steam a pot of buns in a while, and you can bring some back tomorrow for the old man to taste." Li Feng's so-called bag is quite interesting, a kind of fairy peach, red date bean paste, dotted with a faint scattered red, really like a peach. Tomorrow, Li Feng plans to take a few children to see his grandfather and grandmother, and he has prepared a lot of gifts, but this person thinks about the fairy peaches that his grandmother and mother used to make in the past, and now, he makes some to send them, and the two old people rarely go out of the mountain in the mountains, and they go to the mountains to pick up the old man several times, and the old man is reluctant to come out.
It's hard to leave the solid soil, Li Feng is busy these days, sometimes he can only pass once a month, and this time he went to the capital to have a look. The two old men haven't seen each other yet, and this time I have the opportunity to see the old man's house, and the bell wants to go early. It's just that usually, Li Feng accompanies him once a month at most, and there is no way that the transportation is too cheap.
"No, no." Liu Lan waved her little hand, this girl is competing with crabs, the big crabs teased by thin bamboo, the crabs that click are not eating dry rice, people eat meat, and they have been furious a few times, although these river crabs are hairless. However, the big pliers did not talk about waving and playing, and the small whiskers on the clicker bamboo fell around. "I'm going to go, so powerful, Xinxin, you're really lucky, your little finger was saved." Liu Lan looked like she had palpitations, and when she spoke, she almost let Li Xin drown her with a sip of tea, people are struggling to untie the beautiful bow, such a big one is really a bit thunderous.
"Evil, do you know what I'm thinking about?" Li Xin looked at Liu Lan very seriously, Liu Lan blinked, and asked casually, "What are you doing, do you want to make steamed buns?" "If you don't make steamed buns, I want to strangle you, you're too bad." "Wow, Xiao Xinxin is angry, Xiao Ying, you see it, Xinxin is angry, is it because the weather is dry in autumn, be careful to light the fire." "Comrade Liu Lan, let me tell you, don't run."
"Babies have to play too, and they have to play." "What are you playing, little ghost." Lin Ying pulled Li Baobao, who was jumping and wanted to join.
"Baby, let's go, Daddy will make big peaches for you to eat." The immortal peach made by Li Feng can be described as simple, it is just a piece of ice heart, and it is enough for the old man to watch it and eat it. It's really easy to make, the flour is well blended, fermented for half an hour, the left and right kneading, divided into sizes, one large and eight small, one pot and three groups, three layers and two stacks, it looks easy and quite laborious to do.
"Baby, what are you doing?" Li Feng was painstakingly kneading and making a fairy peach here, and when he looked up, he saw a few children making a group of rat-like things, lying on the board one by one, Li Feng saw Zhile, and several girls snickered. "Ah, Dad, Aunt Liu taught me to be a little mouse, you see that the baby is a little mouse, chubby and cute." Li Baobao pointed to a big fat mouse, Le Zizi, and raised his little head proudly. This mouse is the size of a fist, it is really a big belly, Li Feng touched it, this girl is filled with bean paste and red dates, it is really big, the skin is not thick, this makes Li Feng breathe a sigh of relief, the steamer can be steamed in a while, no matter the small mouse, or the big mouse, but Lin Ying and a few people must be making trouble, this is a turtle, a black bear, the face is too thick, it is not advisable. Li Feng took it directly, and used a little bit of bamboo slices with bean paste filling, and after a while, a group of little mice became a group of hedgehogs, the black bear had long hair, and the turtle had a little armor.
"Wow, dad is so good, the baby wants to play too." The little girl will make a Lei Gong head for a while, and when she sees the little monkey's sincerity, Li Feng is speechless, this girl, the fairy peach on her side, the apple is almost made, and it looks very similar, but the whole white lacks a little female charm. "This white peach isn't very pretty." A few girls felt that something was missing, Li Feng smiled slightly, and made eight parts of fairy peaches, one for his parents, one for his grandparents, one for Manying's parents, three for the three girls in front of him, and one for the second grandfather and two grandmothers. The remaining one, a few children have taken it orally, as for the apple bun, I made a little more and ate it myself. "You'll know in a moment." "The water was already hot, and the fire from the pine branches reflected red cheeks, revealing a hint of light, not crackling, but a faint rosin fragrance, wafting out. The bell led the baby and Sakizaki to find firewood with pine resin, concentrated on digging out the pine resin inside to light the lamp, different plains, the sky lantern here is to be tied to the rope, the mountains and forests are most afraid of fire, belong to only one in their own yard to light one, the lantern, pray for blessings.
"This is fun, baby, lend it to Auntie to see if it's okay." When Li Baobao followed the bell to find the ever-bright lantern, he saw a horse lantern hanging up, he was interested, and shouted to play, Zhang Lan saw her granddaughter playing with oil, and the little girl lit it up in the daytime, carrying it to show off, this thing used to be quite a lot, but now there is electricity, and few people use it anymore.
"No, baby, Auntie, look, it's fun." The wick was beating, and the fire was sometimes big and sometimes small, and Li Baobao was proud. "Okay, baby, you have no conscience, Auntie is going to buy you a big bear in a few days, so big, bigger than Auntie." Liu Lan pretended to be dejected, very disappointed, and spoke with a little heartache. The baby touched his little face and thought about it, as if he had made a lot of determination. "Okay, Auntie, the baby is going to be such a big bear, chubby." "Okay, that's big." "Xiaoying, come and see, what kind of lamp is very interesting. It's really good, why didn't I see it sold in the city. "It's the first time Liu Lan has seen such an interesting thing, twisting the wick, one big and one small." This... horse lantern bar, my family used to have one, but now it seems that there is no more, Li Feng's house is just right, and it is not rusty at all. Li Xin was a little surprised by the shining glass and the brand-new horse lantern, the horse lantern is not an antique, a baby, but a practical thing.
"Horse lantern? Marquee, no. Liu Lan remembered that the lantern was an antique, and a candle was lit inside the lamp, and the heat generated by the candle caused air currents to rotate the axle. There are paper-cuts on the axles, and the candlelight casts the shadows of the paper-cuts on the screen, and the images keep moving. Because many pictures of ancient military generals riding horses are drawn on each side of the lamp, and when the lamp turns, it looks like a few people are chasing me, so it is called the marquee lamp.
"Where, this is a horse lantern, I think the name should be related to the carriage." Li Xin is not sure, this thing is really not clear, he is not very clear.
Li Xin said yes, the horse lantern is the last century, produced in China a lighting tool, it uses kerosene as lamp oil, and then with a wick, covered with a glass cover, to prevent the wind from blowing out the lamp, can be hung on the horse when walking at night, in the seventies and eighties of the last century is the most widely used, the mountains have been used until the early nineties.
You see the iron cylinder frame saddle outside the horse lamp, there is an oil dish at the lower end to hold oil, and the design of this screw cover is similar to that of the oil tank, which is fully enclosed and does not drip oil. The upper two iron covers, layered with gaps, facilitate air outlet. In the middle is a glass cover, which can be used to raise the glass cover and turn off the lights when you turn it on. There is also a wire handle, which is not hung on a carriage and used to go out at night, but is carried with a wooden stick. This kind of lamp, rare to stay in the corner of the pot stove, mostly in the outdoors, and the home cover lamp to form a lamp family, a main outside, a main inside, the horse lamp is the great husband in the lamp. Li Feng said that a few people were stunned, this lamp, it turns out that there is such a history.
"But now there are not many kerosene towns to sell, I heard that there are only a few two, this horse lantern is still used in the mountains, my grandmother's house is full of such horse lanterns, the mountain wind in the mountains does not work, only this horse lantern can withstand the wind and rain. It is inconvenient to go out in the mountains, there must be lights, otherwise it is easy to have problems, this horse lantern is just right, and it can be used in the wind and rain. Li Feng patted the firewood foam on his body, he sat on the peach, and the tip of the peach was the most beautiful, and his grandmother taught him this hand, which would make this person get some dye, and use it to point the tip of the peach. …,
"Oil lamps are still used in the mountains, isn't there electricity?" Several girls opened their mouths in surprise, not to say that they were all electrified. "Most of them have, of course, some places are too far away, and then a family of two people pull wires, how much money, most people in the mountains now use electricity, but deep in the mountains and old forests, retail households do not use electricity, these are mostly old people, don't care.
"I see." In fact, many people still like to light a lantern when they go out, flashlights and the like, the old people don't like to use it, they feel that there is no fire, and they are a little superstitious people who say that the fire is to avoid evil, but these young people scoff at the things that the old people are very convinced. Everyone didn't want to have any conflicts with the old people over this little thing, but they just had time to play a bottle of kerosene or something, and these old people were happy.
"My grandfather's house is still a horse lantern, there is a pair, the other, I accidentally broke it when I was a child, I don't know if it was thrown away, this one my dad wipes from time to time, and it is well preserved." Li Feng thought about the medicine bottles in the past, cut off the bottom, made lanterns, and canned bottle lanterns, at that time, there were different roads in the mountains, small mountain roads, people selling lanterns met this rainy day, and the snow day was gone, the little baby looked at it, and the adults tried their best not to ask for lanterns. Only Li Feng was laughed at by other jokes when he carried the lantern, the kid lost his temper, and the lantern fell, but he was beaten with an iron beating.
"You kid still remember this, you tell me that the horse lantern was a big item in the family at that time, you broke it, your father didn't beat you, who did you beat, you don't know that this baby's swollen butt was high that time, and he couldn't sit on the bench and stand up to eat for a few days." Mother Zhang Lan came back from outside and said with a smile, which made Li Feng a little depressed. "Wow, Dad was spanked, not a good child, the baby has to tell Mom, hehe, grandma, Dad made a big peach steamed bun, it's beautiful, do you want to eat it?" The little girl grimaced at Li Feng as she spoke, and ran to Zhang Lan's side, pulling Zhang Lan's hand and shaking it.
"Hehe, baby, what have you done?" Zhang Lan had a smile on her face, and the fairy peach was coming, far away.
"Well, the big rat, and the little black black, the little hedgehog, there are many, many more." The baby's little nose twitched, and the scent of the steamer in the kitchen wafted out and drilled into the little girl's nose.
