When I got home, it was already noon, and the dogs had not yet returned, so the dogs didn't care about them, anyway, everyone had money in their pockets, and when they were hungry, they bought some food on the street.

I used to hear my father say that in those prosperous cities, there will always be servants and jugglers arranged by the government to push floats and perform on stilts in groups on the street.

Colorful flags and red lights float all over the street, men and women of the common people wear beautiful clothes, drag their families to play in the various markets, walk tired to the stalls selling food to eat a bite of sweet supper, eat and drink enough, and then wander, all night play, so lively.

I don't know if I can see that scene, it is said that there is such a grand scene in Chengdu Fucheng in the south, and I will go to see it wherever I have the opportunity.

After licking the rice grains on his lips, the dog put the dishes and chopsticks into the wooden barrel, told Xiaokang to clean the pots and pans, and took Dakang to Grandma Cao's house.

I'm going to pinch my slot in the afternoon, but I can't do it yet!

Grandma Cao is very busy, in the first month, the custom here in Yuchuan is to prepare enough dry food such as cooking cakes to be eaten every day for the whole month in advance, and then the whole New Year can be celebrated quietly.

As the saying goes, if you are busy in the first month, you will be poor all year round.

It doesn't matter what the customs are, the point is that I have been busy for a year, and finally in the first month, in addition to the important business, I will generally stop and rest, and the family will sit together to chat or go out to play.

Therefore, every household, those who can steam the cake will steam it themselves, and those who can't steam it will come out to buy it, and there is not much difference between the two sides.

The cooking cakes of the dog's house have also been prepared in advance, and there are four sacks full of them, and there are no way there are many people, and they can eat one by one.

"Grandma, you're still busy!"

When the dog came, Grandma was busy, there was a long queue of people in front of the steamer, and even Cao Aru was arrested and obediently sat on the bench next to him to collect money.

Grandma saw it and hurriedly said: "Little dog, you don't have to do it, it's useless if there are many people, there is only one steamer, it's useless to be in a hurry, you hurry up and go!" ”

"It's okay grandma, you have to knead the dough and take care of the steamer, I don't have anything to do, boy, let me help you light the fire!" After saying that, he sat down in front of the stove.

Grandma Cao wanted to fill steamed buns for the guests in front of her, and she couldn't take care of the dog for a while, and when she finally had a chance to catch her breath, she remembered the dog.

At this time, it was already a full hour, and Grandma Cao hurriedly called the dog up and said embarrassedly: "When you get busy, you can't take care of anything, so you have been busy here all afternoon!" ”

The dog hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Grandma said again: "Little dog, are you here for something?" ”

The dog said embarrassedly: "I want to ask how to wrap this slot!" ”

Grandma said: "Bao Jiaozi is very simple to say, really to pinch up, it still takes some effort, I can't tell for a while, it just happens that there is no bag at home, you called a few of them tonight to come over, learn together, and eat here together at night!" ”

The dog hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then what's embarrassing, we don't look very old, and we really eat a lot!" ”

Grandma Cao smiled and said: "It's nothing, no matter how you guys eat a meal, it's okay, listen to Grandma, I called them over tonight, if you don't come, the old woman will personally come over and invite you to come!" ”

Hearing her say this, the dog had no choice but to nod his head in response.

After working for a while, it was not too late, and the guests who came to buy the cakes were carried away one after another, and the rest of the ones that had not yet been bought, the dog asked them to pay the order first, leave their names and addresses, and send them one by one tomorrow.

Seeing that there were fewer people, Grandma Cao urged the dog to go home and call them over, and the pot happened to be installed here, so that Ah Bao took care of the fire, packed up the materials for the slots, and waited for the dog to come, and then it could be packed.

Seeing this, the dog hurriedly ran back, and just as several people were at home, he called someone over.

"Pinch the horns, be sure to pinch the upper and lower skins together, otherwise the skin will break when you cook it in the pot, and the filling inside will all leak out!"

While explaining a few things to the dog, he put the horn in his hand on the clean wooden board next to it.

This gadget doesn't look big, it's really hard to pinch, and for a while, several little babies are covered with flour, one in the east and one in the west, and the whole big flower face.

The dog pinched a crooked corner with great difficulty, gently put it aside, and gasped heavily: "Grandma, this little thing is really hard to pinch!" ”

Grandma Cao laughed and said: "It's not difficult, it's that you guys are too rusty, and when you pinch too much, you will become proficient!" ”

The dog nodded quickly.

Grandma Cao's house pinched cabbage and pork filling, and sesame oil was put in it, and there was a fragrance when she smelled it from afar, and a few people swallowed saliva violently, and Grandma Cao asked Cao Abao to go to the house to move out a small mud stove, and put a small iron pot full of water and boiled it.

When the water boiled, he said to the dog with a wooden plank: "Be careful when boiling slots, this colander should drag the bottom of the pot and stir, it must be light, so as not to touch the slot skin!" ”

The dog nodded hurriedly and said, "I know!" ”

Cooking slots very quickly, the water boiled three times, it was already cooked, called Po to the house to bring a stack of pottery bowls, and took a colander to take out the slots in the pot, the pot is small so there are not many, each person only divided two or three in the bowl, and then put the slots back and cook slowly.

When Ah Ru took the vinegar out of the house, several people snorted and ate it with the hot air.

One word, incense!

The three horns are not enough to eat, the dog is better, Si Swenwen who eats, the big fool next to him has already entered the stomach one by one, and after eating, he looked at the dog and said: "Brother Lang, I didn't taste anything!" ”

The dog gave him a blank look and said, "Then wait for the next pot!" ”

Dasha didn't give up, turned his head and stared at Ah Ru non-stop, sighed long, and finally didn't ask for it, and the dog put down the stick in his hand with relief.

After boiling four pots in one go, the dogs also ate four rounds in a row, and seeing that Grandma Cao was about to pick up the slot board again, the dog hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Grandma, we are full, don't cook again!" ”

Grandma Cao laughed and said: "Don't lie to me, puppy, although the old body is old, but the eyes are not blind, you look at the big fool, the bowl is clean like a washed, where is this full of food!" ”

After finishing speaking, he boiled a plate of raw slots, and the dog sighed, looked at the only remaining four wooden slots behind him, and secretly thought: "These are not enough for us to eat after cooking!" ”

On the way home, the dog kept thinking about the steps of the slots, and except for Dasha, who had already forgotten everything, everyone else more or less remembered some, and everyone added a little more, and the steps came out.

When they returned home, a few people had some dinner, just at Grandma Cao's house, the dog stopped a few of them, so they didn't let go of eating, and went back to their own house, the dog was afraid that they would be hungry in the middle of the night, so they ate a few cold cooking cakes.

You have to use cooked meat to wrap the slots, and the meat sent by Butcher Hu is still raw, so it has to be cooked tomorrow.

Listening to the sound of Ergen in the distance, the dog closed his eyes in a deep voice, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, this year of calamity and hardship is finally over.

The sound of firecrackers in the year old,

The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households,

Always replace the new peach with the old charm.

The song "Yuan Ri" by the prince of the Northern Dynasty will be recited by his father almost every year, especially three cups of rice wine, his head is closed and his palms are gently beaten, and he picks up a salt bean when he sings a sentence, puts it in his mouth and chews it, and praises:

"The delicacies come into my mouth, and tonight I will sing the Yuan Ri."

Then the song continued as it had been, and the night went on.

His mother always couldn't get used to his poor and sour appearance, and whenever he sang, she would lead the dog out to visit the door, go east and west, grab melon seeds in this house, taste sweet water and wine in that house, and when his stomach was full, he would go home.

I can't sleep, and I don't know what to do in the middle of the night, so I pulled out a white cloth and showed off all kinds of flowers on it.

The mother originally planned to embroider 999 flowers, but later the father said that this number could only be used by the emperor's family, so the mother changed it to 666 flowers, and she said that when the embroidery was enough, the dog could marry a daughter-in-law.

Memories can't be turned over, because most of the scenes left behind are painful scenes, so the dog wisely stopped recalling.

Looking at the smell of the meat in the big iron pot, the dog's saliva flowed out of anger, swallowed a few mouthfuls hard, turned his head to look behind, and several people squatted obediently on the side of the pot with their knees in their arms, and the gurgling sound in the stomach combined with the swallowing sound of saliva, synthesized a unique duet.

At this time, the meat is not yet cooked, so turn a few pieces of pork skin back underneath, so that the hot water will slowly cook the stiff pork skin, and the meat inside will be just cooked.

As soon as the water is boiled, the flame in the hearth will turn into a low fire, cover the pot and let it cook slowly, and when the chopsticks can be easily inserted into the pigskin, it means that the meat is cooked.

I took advantage of the time to wash the cabbage wrapped in the slots, took out the expensive spices, slowly crushed it into powder with a rolling pin, took out the smallest piece of pork from the pot, chopped it into minced meat with a kitchen knife, and slowly stirred it into a fragrant filling like Grandma Cao, and then put it aside.

Then he took out a large wooden bucket, poured all the wheat noodles he bought, put some water in them, stirred them slowly, kneaded them, and put them aside until they became smooth dough.

At this time, the meat in the big iron pot was already completely cooked, and Dasha, who couldn't wait for a long time, hurriedly inserted a small piece of meat with chopsticks, and ate it with a roar.

Take a clay pot, divide the bones and meat pieces into two piles, put the large pieces of meat into a small jar with no water droplets, and sprinkle it with even salt, and the marinated meat is so simple, find a piece of fine linen cloth to cover it, and then fasten the lid, even if it is put in the autumn, the meat will not spoil.

The broth in the big iron pot can't be wasted, and when you put some in a small crockpot, every time you put some on it, the dish will become oily.

The minced meat on the bones is slowly shaved off and served on a plate dipped in soy sauce and vinegar as a hard dish for serving.

As for the bones, they won't be easily thrown away without boiling them in a pot for a few reincarnations.

That's why pigs are full of treasures.
