The sun rises higher and higher with time, and the village has been filled with a strong aroma of wine, which can be said to be very intoxicating.

Not only here, not far away, but also where many people are busy, looking at the familiar action, how could Chu Peng, who has reached the peak of his cooking skills, not know that he is clearly making the traditional food of the Chinese New Year, rice cakes.

Generally speaking, there are many traditions that have been handed down since ancient times, but only the New Year's need to eat rice cakes and dumplings has been passed down and pulled, and some people may have gradually forgotten it, but there is no forgetting in this small mountain village of Ninghe, and it has still been handed down.

Rice cakes have yellow and white colors, symbolizing gold and silver, and rice cakes are also called "New Year Cakes", which are homophonic with "high every year", implying that people's work and life are improving year by year. Therefore, the predecessors had a poem called the rice cake: "The meaning of the rice cake is slightly deep, and the white is as white as silver-yellow gold." Looking forward to the high times and good times, pious and silent hope for the coming of wealth. ”

As for dumplings, they have become an indispensable program food for the Spring Festival, and the reasons are: First, dumplings are shaped like ingots. People eat dumplings in the Spring Festival to take the sound of "fortune and treasure", the second is that the dumplings have filling, which is convenient for people to wrap all kinds of auspicious things into the filling, in order to place people's hopes for the new year.

When making dumplings, people often wrap Jin Ruyi, sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnuts into the filling. Those who eat Ruyi and sugar will have a sweeter life in the coming year, those who eat peanuts will live a long and healthy life, and those who eat dates and chestnuts will have precious children early.

No exception, anyway. In any case, it is the beautiful expectations and strong expectations of the people in ancient times for the future, which is the nature of the Chinese people, even now, can not be changed, and the tradition has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Not to mention it, the craftsmanship that has been circulating like this is good, and even if it is Chu Peng, the skillful technique can not pick out any too many mistakes, so to speak. All according to the most primitive traditions. Bursts of fragrance waft out, and you can't help but whet your appetite.

It can be said that the whole village is now busy and cheerful, and the simple villagers at least know it. Hard work is true happiness. When I think of the bustling city outside. Chu Peng couldn't help but shake his head.

In this everyone is so familiar with each other, it can be said that they often help each other, this. Now it can be easily seen that everyone is there to help with laughter, not at all like the indifference of the city separated by the security door.

Along the way, everyone who saw Chu Peng would greet them cordially, stop to talk, and send their blessings, which can be seen that Chu Peng's popularity, especially everyone hopes that Chu Peng will go to their place for the New Year, looking at the villagers who sent out the most sincere invitation, Chu Peng's heart is actually very moved.

For these people, that's it, once you treat them with your heart, then the gains you get will be far greater than your efforts, don't underestimate anyone, even if these villagers are really insignificant to Chu Peng.

But if you think about it, if you can't get their support, then this place is definitely not allowed to live in it, and Chu Peng's limited environment will have a complete reputation, or because of the contract, they have to agree, but after all, people are social animals, and everyone here is not birding you, so what's the point of your family living here.

Bidding farewell to the villagers who are now busy in Ahri, Chu Peng took his family to walk around, and when he returned from the scenery, he found that it was already noon at this moment, just right, he could go to Lao Li's invitation, for the wine that has been treasured for more than a hundred years, Chu Peng was greedy, and he was a little excited when he looked at his father on the side.

However, although others invited it to be invited, but the number of etiquette still has to be sufficient, since others have taken out the good wine that has been treasured for many years, then Chu Peng will not be stingy at all, although the hero's blood is also a good wine, but after all, people already have it, and besides, after the increase in this hermit's small wine cellar, its vintage is not low.

If you take it directly, it will be too insincere, after all, it can be regarded as meeting friends with wine now, and for Chu Peng, this can be regarded as no problem at all, the hero's blood is such a strong wine, adding some Chinese medicine to make wine, then it is even better.

And this time it can be regarded as good luck, during this period of time, Chu Peng caught a poisonous snake in the mountain, called the five-step snake, and concocted it into medicinal wine, of course, this thing is absolutely not something that ordinary people can do.

You must know that Chu Peng has the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine on his body, plus the highest level of winemaking, these two are mixed together to make this wine born, otherwise, ordinary people will come to concoct it, not to mention much, it will take at least a whole year.

After experiencing the changes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the toxicity in it will be eliminated through the precipitation of time, otherwise, not to mention anything else, it is really impossible to give the wine to others to drink, you know, in order to make this wine come out as soon as possible, Chu Peng took a lot of thought and added a lot of neutralizing drugs.

At this moment, Chu Peng finished collecting the things and confirmed that there was nothing missing, so he took the family and walked slowly to the village, and suddenly, Chu Peng's eyes were full of surprise, it turned out that in the village at this moment, there was a scene that ordinary people could not understand, that is, all the villagers were strangely gathering in the square in the village.

There was a table in that one, which filled the seemingly very large field, and all the villagers were sitting in it, and there may be some young faces that Chu Peng was not very familiar with, but there was no doubt that this was definitely the villagers of Niujiao Village.

From a distance, Chu Peng saw that Lao Li had already arrived at the entrance of the village where he was waiting for it, so he almost ran directly to Chu Peng's house to invite, which can be described as full of sincerity, and Chu Peng had already walked over to this side, and immediately ran forward and said directly: "It's here, it's good to come, how about it, I haven't added this scene." ”

Between the words, there was still a little bit of pride, and after seeing Chu Peng nodding slightly, he continued: "That's, this is also our local tradition, every year's meal, unless the weather is very bad, otherwise we all eat in this square at noon, first, it is a lively picture, and second, it can also promote feelings." ”

Chu Peng nodded, at this moment, he really admired the ancestors who remembered this method, in this way, it was very good to be able to gather this village like a big family, presumably, that person did not want his children and grandchildren to be separated.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Peng also immediately stepped forward and sat down with Lao Li, the food on the dining table was very rich, showing the harvest and joy of the New Year, and every household was smiling.

After all, they are living happily and happily now, even those children who went out to work have come back at this time, so what is not satisfied? Among them, what caught Chu Peng's attention the most was a jar of wine with very good seals on each table.

As a winemaker, how could Chu Peng not judge that this wine was definitely taken out of the cellar just now, and he could even smell the faint aroma of earth, mixed with the taste of wine, and couldn't help but smell very good.

You don't have to think much to be able to perceive, this must be a treasure stored in every family, there is only such a jar a year, even if you don't taste it, but the taste in it is absolutely amazing, this is a real old wine, thinking of this, Chu Peng couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

After all, at his current point, there is really no big feeling about ordinary things, and everything is as you like, so how can he not be greedy for wine, a drink that men like very much?

The time is almost up, after Lao Li came to the stage and said a few words to wish the future, he started this New Year's party directly, and his own page was quickly made to the seat, and directly opened the sealed wine jar.

Suddenly, the aroma of wine spread throughout the square, and Chu Peng smelled it, there were aged bayberry wine, fruit wine, grain wine, wine, all of which were diverse, and more than a dozen kinds of wine aromas appeared in the small square at once, which was really amazing.

In the end, Chu Peng still turned his gaze to the table at this moment, this old Li family's wine, ah, the taste is long and far-reaching, it is definitely not ordinary wine, he took a deep breath, after a long time, he nodded slowly, he was absolutely sure that the person who brewed this wine had reached the peak of the grandmaster, and it was only that step away from the highest realm.

This made Chu Peng sigh again, it seems that there are many masters in this world, but most of them are in seclusion, and a winemaking master used to be in this small mountain village, if it is spread out, it is really amazing.

There is not much aftertaste, Lao Li directly poured the wine into the bowl, without saying much, a bowl of direct belly, lips and teeth fragrant, this is different from Chu Peng's wine, but the taste of the years, all in all, the two sides have their own merits.

As the saying goes: "There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence." "The wine and food here, even with people are considered to be very good drinking friends, so naturally they drink with an open stomach, and even, during the banquet, there are many other villagers who come to toast and have a good relationship.

This is not the main thing, what makes Chu Peng most satisfied is that she took advantage of this opportunity to taste all the good wine in the entire village, nodded really and exclaimed: "It is indeed good wine." "Under the warm sun, the party in Niujiao Village is being held in full swing. (To be continued......)
