Chapter 108: New Year's Dinner Sacrifice to Ancestors

Yu Tianzhou went into the city to sell vegetables for a while, although it was easier and more profitable than when he sold vegetables on South Street, but compared to the people in the village who scavenged in the soil every day, he could be regarded as making a lot of money.

After getting up early in the morning and eating a simple meal, Yu Tianzhou began to arrange for Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu Zhang Luo's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not only to kill a big rooster and a big male hare that was raised fat and big, but he also ran to the Tang family, which was selling fish, and bought back a big grass carp weighing three pounds.

Since the liberation, the entire Yu family has become very unsatisfactory, and in the past six months, because of the reselling of vegetables to make a lot of money, the villagers face Yu Tianzhou, are with all kinds of envious eyes, some people see Yu Tianzhou, but also from time to time to say some flattery, so that Yu Tianzhou finally found a little memory of the different superiority from others.

A few days before the New Year, Yu Tianzhou made up his mind to prepare a whole table of sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on this day, entertaining the following ancestors and the gods of the eight directions, hoping to show his face in front of the ancestors, and also hoped to get more protection from the gods of the eight directions.

Seeing the killing of chickens and rabbits at home, the gorgeous once again proves that the life of the family has been getting better and better, although Yu Mingyue is a little heartbroken, she is also very happy, and she is helping at home non-stop, this is not her greed, but the meaning of this sumptuous New Year's dinner, which makes her feel relieved and happy.

After helping to pluck the chicken feathers, Yu Mingyue picked up the chicken feathers and was about to take them outside the gate to pour them out, when she turned around, she saw Yu Tianzhou Zheng carrying a big grass carp from outside the door.

Yu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then frowned distressedly. Although I make some money now, it's just a New Year's dinner, so I don't need to be so extravagant, right?

"Grandpa, our family killed chickens and rabbits today. Why did you buy big fish? Looking at the grass carp, which weighed at least three catties, Yu Mingyue felt her heart hurt even more.

Grandpa is really, why don't you know how to be thrifty if you have some money, no matter how rich you are, you can't stand such a waste, not to mention that this family is really not rich now.

"Hehe, it's the New Year, and everyone has worked hard this year. Of course, you have to have a good meal. Yu Tianzhou raised his eyebrows a little proudly. He even quickened his pace, and instructed as he walked: "Old woman, remember to cook more today." The chicken was stewed in a pot with the sun-dried chicken fir and the rabbit was stir-fried, and the fish was boiled in a large pot with kimchi, and our family ate it for a few days. ”

Cook more New Year's dinner. Being able to eat until the first few days indicates that the harvest of the year can be eaten for several years. Yu Mingyue knew this custom as early as in her previous life, and she also experienced such a custom for five years in this life, so she would not feel strange, but she didn't know how to be frugal about her grandfather's extravagant behavior. Still a little disagreeable, he turned his head to look at Kong Mingying, who was still smiling.

"Grandma, look at what a waste Grandpa is. You've got to take care of it. "It's weird, judging by past experience. Grandma should have already scolded with a black face yes, this is?

"You kid." Kong Mingying smiled indifferently, and then said: "Today is the New Year, what is there to eat well, not only do we eat ourselves at night, but even the ancestors of the family and the gods of the eight directions in the sky are invited back for a meal." ”

Ancestor? God? Yu Mingyue's head was full of black lines, and the corners of her mouth skimmed to the side, but she instantly retracted it.

That's right, the gods can ignore it, but the relatives who have passed away in the early years, that is, the so-called ancestors, they are all elders who are close to the grandmother, but they must always be remembered in their hearts, even if she is no longer willing to believe in gods and Buddhas in her previous life, but every New Year's Day or the death day of her relatives, she must be treated carefully.

"Phew, phew, phew~" Yu Mingyue quietly spit on the ground three times, eager to slap herself a few ears, now that the relatives are still there, it's the New Year, what are you thinking about.

Fortunately, Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying were talking about the New Year's dinner, and they didn't notice Yu Mingyue's strange behavior, Yu Mingyue was a little weak-hearted, and after coming back to her senses and quietly glancing at the two old men who were talking next to her, she hurriedly walked out of the door with chicken feathers, where do you dare to worry about waste or not, luxury or not.

When killing the rabbit, Yu Mingyue thought of the perfect model of the chicken she had made before, and she took Kong Mingying to reveal a unique trick and peeled off the rabbit skin intact.

The chicken model is now given to the Jiang family, and it was put away by the old man Jiang as a baby, I heard that every time a guest comes to the door, the old man Jiang has to take it out to show off, which shows the value of this model.

Kong Mingying didn't know that Yu Mingyue in the eyes of the money had such thoughts, she had always felt sorry for Yu Mingyue, this was not a trouble for her, and she had no opinion at this time.

After Kong Mingying knocked the rabbit to death, he opened a long mouth of about ten centimeters on the rabbit's belly, and while deftly peeling the rabbit skin, he also taught Yu Mingyue how to do it, and in less than ten minutes, he peeled off a whole rabbit skin, and deliberately left four paws, ready to make a rabbit model for Yu Mingyue.

During the whole process, Yu Mingyue was watching and listening attentively to learn, and when she took over the clean and complete rabbit skin, Yu Mingyue was so happy.

There is an old man in the family if there is a treasure, she can be regarded as having seen, with this unique grandmother, should be regarded as a treasure of the treasure, now learn from grandma, in the future by relying on grandma's unique skills, will inevitably make a lot of money.

The family started working early, and it was still early before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, seeing that Yu Mingyue was so interested in making models, Kong Mingying took Yu Mingyue to find several herbs growing in the field and came back, and processed the rabbit skin before starting to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Although Kong Mingying's cooking skills cannot be finer than that of the chef, the farmhouse dishes are unusually authentic, a pot of dried chicken stewed local chicken with the fragrance of wild mushrooms and chicken, a pot of sour and fragrant kimchi boiled fish, two foreign porcelain bowls of spicy and fragrant dry fried rabbit, a bowl of pickled pepper fried chicken offal, a bowl of stir-fried rabbit offal, and also cut some cooked bacon, cured pork liver, pork belly strips and mixed a bowl on the table, and a pot of yam and beans and cabbage boiled in bacon soup was also put on the table.

Looking at the most sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table in five years, Yu Mingyue, who was still a little distressed earlier, felt a little mixed in her heart at this time, and even wanted to cry with joy.

Yu Mingyue sniffed and tilted her head without a trace. After trying to open her eyes a few times and force the anger in her eyes back, she turned her head and saw that several adults next to her were also staring at the dishes on the table, with different expressions on their faces, Yu Mingyue turned her mind, suppressed the emotion in her heart, and pulled Yu Tianzhou, who was a little stunned. He smiled sweetly at him and said, "Grandpa." Have we eaten? ”

"Hehe, Satsuki is hungry, wait. Grandpa will offer rice, and let your grandfather set off firecrackers and start the meal, but today I bought you a bottle of delicious sweet orange juice. Yu Tianzhou rubbed the top of Yu Mingyue's head comfortably, and began to call Kong Mingying to start working together.

The matter of offering meals is Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou in Zhang Luo every year. In the countryside, it symbolizes the honor of the head of the family. Kong Xiaoyu didn't intervene, she only pulled Yu Mingyue aside, watching Kong Mingying busy with dishes and pouring wine.

After placing a few meat dishes and three bowls of rice on the divine table, Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou muttered and prayed to the ancestors and the gods in turn. pulled Yu Mingyue to the front of the house again, and after teaching Yu Mingyue to kowtow a few times cautiously, he asked Yu Zhiqing to go to the courtyard and set off a string of firecrackers. After that, the family sat around the table and began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Satsuki. Drink it quickly and see if it tastes good or not. Kong Mingying poured a bowl of orange juice for Yu Mingyue and began to urge.

"Hmm." Yu Mingyue nodded, obediently picked up the orange juice with a small half-earthen bowl and took a sip, the orange juice of this era is genuine, the juice content is not only higher than that of the later, but also more obviously condensed, much sweeter than the freshly squeezed, and the fragrance of oranges is much stronger, Yu Mingyue doesn't like sweets very much, and she feels a little sick to her stomach when she drinks it.

Seeing that the family was staring at her, Yu Mingyue resisted the urge to frown, and after swallowing a mouthful of orange juice, she smiled sweetly.

"Drink it, grandparents, mom and dad." After speaking, he urged Kong Mingying to distribute drinks to everyone.

Drinks are a rarity in this era, Yu Tianzhou and Yu Zhiqing's father and son are ready to drink, but at this time they are also happy to drink a bowl, just while eating, they began to drink liquor that belongs to men's patents, Yu Mingyue doesn't like sweets, and she doesn't like to eat with sweet drinks when eating, but Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are two, but they seem to love to drink, and the rest of the drinks, seeing that Yu Mingyue obviously doesn't like to drink, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank it directly.

After drinking the drink, Xu was happy in his heart, Kong Mingying also poured himself a small half bowl of liquor, Kong Xiaoyu stared at the bottle of liquor, obviously also wanted to take a sip, but after touching his stomach, he smiled lightly and turned his gaze back.

Yu Mingyue was listening to Yu Tianzhou and Yu Zhiqing drinking and talking about New Year's plans, and when she turned her head, she saw Kong Xiaoyu staring greedily at the liquor bottle, and just when she wanted to stop it in advance, she saw Kong Xiaoyu smile lightly and turned her eyes away, which made Yu Mingyue a little unable to come back to her senses.

This is a smile with a motherly glow, right? Yu Mingyue's eyes were a little sour, a little envious. In her previous life, whenever she saw the basically identical smile on the face of a pregnant woman, with satisfaction, love, and so on, she was extremely envious, that was a smile that she had never felt and could not have until she died.

In her previous life, she looked forward to the warmth of a normal family thousands of times, a small family of her own thousands of times, and hoped to have a husband and a child, so that she would be very happy, but she still didn't dare to take the step towards marriage, afraid that because she would overcome the fate of her loved ones, she would affect her loved ones.

Since childhood, the people around her have said that her parents and grandmothers were killed by her, and it is a fact that the family has passed away for various reasons, she herself has to believe this way of speaking, she is afraid, she is afraid too much, she doesn't want to hurt more people because of her own selfishness

Kong Mingyu sandwiched a chicken leg, and when he turned his head and was about to put it in Yu Mingyue's bowl, he happened to see Yu Mingyue's unpredictable face, but it made people feel unusually sad and stunned, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

After quickly scanning the table and chatting with the other three people who were chatting energetically, he hesitated for a moment, and after putting the chicken leg in Yu Mingyue's bowl, he pretended to be fine, and chuckled: "Xiaoyue, my mother has a chicken leg for you, eat it quickly, and go to bed early after eating." ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Kong Mingying, who turned his head to look, and explained: "This kid, who helped run out and run in during the day, must be tired." ”

Yu Mingyue was already frightened at this time, she had already set a rule for herself, she couldn't think of the past in her previous life in front of adults, just now because of her mother's smile, she remembered the past events in her previous life, if this was discovered by adults, it would be really amazing.

As soon as Kong Xiaoyu finished speaking, Yu Mingyue nodded obediently and smiled: "Well, I'm sleepy." After speaking, he didn't dare to say more, so he buried his head in his head and nibbled on the chicken thighs that should have been delicious, but at this time they were a little difficult to swallow.

There can be no next time, this life is different, and when the family's economy is improved, he should also grow up, and then he should study and study, he should earn money, and then find a good man he likes to marry, and he is still worried about not being able to have children?

Swallowing the chicken in her mouth, Yu Mingyue, who suddenly had a new plan, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, planning to marry a good man like her father when she grows up in the future, and then give birth to one or two children of her own.

The relationship between her parents, in the past five years, she has seen it in her eyes, and she has said that poor couples are sad, and she also believes in the examples she heard in her previous life, but over the years, she has a new understanding, and feels that as long as it is really two people who love each other, whether they are poor or rich, they will have a different happy life.

Having a complete family and having a child who is connected by blood is her unfulfilled and most unattainable wish in her previous life, but in this life, it seems to have become logical, and there is no difficulty, and the mood has become extremely relaxed when she understands this.
