Chapter 110: Pairs

Su Shi smiled and disagreed: "The imperial court uses articles to win scholars, you have been a little reluctant in the past six months, even if you think this thing is of great use, then you must first ascend to the Ming Hall of the Son of Heaven, and then you can show your talents, right?" After entering school after the New Year, Ziyou and I will urge you to put your mind on this side first, and you can write such poems before the age of six, hehehe...... I, the Su family, dare to fight the heroes of the world with articles! ”

Well, you're arrogant, you have a point in saying anything!

Before Su You could answer, Su Shi took his hand and went out: "Let's go, let's do a few quick stir-fry first!" Put more spicy rice oil! You have a lot of spicy rice oil here! ”

The Spring Festival customs of the Song Dynasty are not much different from those of later generations.

Twenty-three sacrificial stoves, twenty-four dust-sweeping, sticking gods and gloom, hanging peach charms, and hanging bells are all customs.

The shaved pork soup is stewed, and the girls are now familiar with the pot, and everyone has a special dish.

Bacon, sausages are also made, and there is one more style, Su oil with wheat sauce, spices, soy sauce, mixed into a paste to brush the meat and hang it, this is the flavor of sauce meat.

Chickens and ducks have also been killed, smeared with salt and hung, wind chickens and ducks, which are also a must-have delicacy for the New Year.

However, Su Shi will not be able to eat until next time, and now he is just preparing for it.

A meal of killing pigs made Su Shi eat beautifully, and he didn't leave, and the next morning he ate meat porridge and found a pile of red paper: "Come on, come on, Mingrun, let's play with the pair." ”

Su You rolled his eyes: "It's not that I'm going to drive you away, it's time for Cousin Mingyun to get home, right?" ”

Su Shi said: "One day, I will go back after dinner in the evening. You're not afraid to pair me, are you? ”

Speaking of this Su oil, I won't accept it, I memorized the joint book back then, and I'm still afraid of you?!

Raised his hand and beckoned Su Xiaomei over: "Little sister, remember-New Year's Yuqing." ”

Su Shi laughed badly: "I still play with me with a time-honored brand - Jiajie Changchun." ”

"Five clouds welcome the dawn—"

"Wanfuji new hoarding."

"Asahi Zhiranmao—"

"Smoked Organ!"

"Taiyi Linzhuhu!"

"Chang Gung wraps around the jade truss!"

"Kaihu ascends to the Yellow Pavilion!"

"Open the door and see Ziyun!"

……

Su Shi really has high standards and strict requirements for himself, this is no longer a couplet, but a couplet, Su You admires or admires, Po Xian is really Po Xian.

In the blink of an eye, the two of you and I got hundreds of sentences right, and after a few rhymes in the middle, Su Xiaomei couldn't keep up: "You guys slow down!" ”

Su You said again: "Wait for mine to come again - the four preludes open a new law." ”

"Wait, there's a problem, uh - Sanyang Ying Qingzhen. Hey, I said it's not a problem, why are you out of me? ”

"Hehe, who told you to be as fast as me? There are already about a hundred and ten of them, right? Enough! Then please trouble Zizhan to copy it, little sister, withdraw! ”

"Mingrun, you're cheating! You give me back! ”

Bagong smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and came up to block Su Shi: "Shi'er, you have worked hard, write it down, this Hecun is enough, and it's really festive to post it red!" ”

Su Shi didn't dare not give Hachiko's face, so he had to write couplets obediently while muttering.

Su You quietly turned back again: "The beam on the door also has four words to meet the occasion, which is called horizontal batch." ”

Su Shi raised his head and glared: "You go away!" ”

Hachiko looked at Su Shi with a smile: "Shi'er, you don't even need to look at the content of the little sister's record just now?" ”

Su You smiled: "He is a scholar, and he already remembers it in his heart." ”

Hachiko nodded: "It's amazing, that little sister quickly put away the manuscript, if you are not there in the future, please ask a show to copy it, these auspicious words can be used every year." ”

There is still a lot of preparation for the New Year, and the study is empty in a blink of an eye, and Su Shi is alone there to write couplets.

You must prepare a lot for the New Year, such as croquettes, fried crispy meat, boiled white meat, stewed chicken, stewed duck and braised goose, and various vegetables.

The babies like sweets, and Su You is teaching the girls to make this, a famous snack in southern Sichuan in the later generations - rice candy.

The large glutinous rice used for rice candy is washed with clean water, soaked in water overnight, steamed in a retort, and poured on the bamboo mat. After cooling, it is scattered, and after drying, it becomes rice-like again, and this kind of rice is called "yin rice".

Yin rice can be stored for a long time, and Su You has already made a sweet snack for the children when they come to celebrate the New Year.

Now is to make crispy rice first, pour the yin rice into the pot, fry it over a slight heat, pour an appropriate amount of dissolved sugar boiling water into the rice after the rice is slightly cooked, stir the rice and sugar boiling water evenly and then start the pot, put it in the dustpan cover for a while, and then spread it out and dry until the surface is dry, and then use oil to make the rice crisp to swell.

The oil temperature should be low when crispy rice, the amount of rice can not be too much each time, if you want to be fragrant, you must add some lard, the oil will be dried after the rice crisp is soaked, and the dry rice grains that are not soaked will be sifted out, that is, the crispy rice will be formed.

The crispy rice has expanded several times compared to the rice grains, and it can actually be eaten as popcorn.

Next, boil the sugar, put the icing and caramel into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to mix, turn on low heat to boil the syrup, and there will be large bubbles in the pot at the beginning. Slowly turning into dense bubbles, the syrup begins to change color, and the sugar is ready.

Put the crispy peanut kernels, peach kernels and crispy rice in the pot and stir evenly, smear the wooden box with oil, put the mixture into the basin, sprinkle with frosting, cooked sesame seeds, dried fruits, sugar osmanthus smoothed, spread tightly, cut the block with a knife, let it cool and put it in the jar to seal it and prevent moisture preservation.

When you need to give it away, take it out and wrap it in wax paper, which is a good gift.

When the rice was fried, Su Shi came out again: "What is so fragrant?" What the hell is this? ”

grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in his mouth: "Not bad, yo, and sweet......"

Su You broke a piece of finished product for him: "This one is for you, it's more delicious." ”

Su Shi took it: "Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" ”

Don't bother to pay attention to me, you pick up my rice candy?! Su You's head was black: "You are moving very fast!" ”

Su Shi smiled slightly: "The thousand-character text that can't be touched by thunder every day, where is this?" ”

Su You pulled him: "Let's go, give you a reward, let's make dumplings tonight!" ”

Dumplings are not called dumplings now, they are called winter wontons or New Year's dumplings, and they can only be eaten during the New Year, and they are soaked in noodle soup to eat, which is a kind of soup cake.

Su You led Su Shi to a piece of land: "I'll show you a new dish today." ”

On the edge of the ground are two ridges, and in the middle of the ridges is a pile of straw.

Su You took a rake to pull the straw pile to the end of the ridge, and it turned out that under the straw pile was a long southern pole to sweep.

The roll sweep is also rolled to the head of the soil ridge, and there is a wooden support frame under the roll sweep, and under the shelf, it is a kind of fine vegetable that is snow-white and tender yellow on the bottom.

Su Shi clapped his hands: "Leek yellow!" ”

"Damn! Do you know each other? ”

"I don't know, but the book says that there are farmers in Bianjing, using the cellar to grow leeks, and the leeks grown are yellow and white, called leeks, which are rare vegetables in winter, and the price is extremely high."

Su You shook his head: "It's so complicated with a cellar? Then we will go to Bianjing in the future, and we can make a fortune by planting leeks! ”

Su Shi picked up the long-handled sickle and pulled it back against the root of the leek, and the leeks were cut down one by one: "Ha, it's really trouble-free!" ”

Su You smiled: "That's, the main thing is that the leeks are too tender!" ”

Seeing that Su Shi was addicted to cutting, Su You hurriedly stopped him and tied a few large bundles with straw: "Enough, the rest will be cut tomorrow, and you can send it to a few families in the city, which is considered a part of my heart." ”

Su Shi shook his head: "Produced by Mingrun, it is a high-quality product, and this intention is also precious." ”

Su You said: "Knowing the planting method, it is actually very simple, and this thing has a high yield, and it is not good to grow if you don't cut it." ”

Between the words, the two pulled the mat back and covered it, pulled the straw back and spread it on again, and Su You picked up the manure water and diluted it and poured it on the straw: "Let's go, go back and make dumplings!" ”

There are many things that can be made with equidistant spirals, such as the feed chute of a meat grinder.

Therefore, the meat grinder with a cast iron shell is not a problem here in Suyou.

Su Shi watched the meat strips go down from above, and then went out from the mouth of the meat grinder where Liu Si stirred the handle, and was also amazed: "This thing is sold to the restaurant to make meatballs, which is too convenient." ”

Su You smiled: "That's it, otherwise why would the little sister and their meatballs be fried a few times!" The ground meat filling is actually not as delicious as the minced meat filling, but this one is used because there are too many people and the minced meat is too hard. ”

Su Shi shook his head: "The main thing is convenience, Mingrun, you have a lot of new things here!" ”
