Chapter 462: Spring Festival
Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Xingyue tribe has a new atmosphere.
The women of the tribe were laughing and handling the ingredients, and beside them, the food was neatly arranged like a hill.
Not far away, dozens of large copper pots were erected, and they didn't know what was boiling inside.
On the other side of these dozens of large copper pots, there are more than a dozen large steamers that are steaming hot, rising bursts of white smoke, and the air is filled with the aroma of food, which is intimidating.
Following the methods of cooking food such as roasting, boiling, and stir-frying, steaming was also made by Ye Feng, who did not come up with this cooking method at that time to improve the taste of the tribe, but to meet the cooked food needs of a large number of people now.
The main reason is that these cooking methods are no longer able to meet the needs of many people in the face of such a large population base, because they are too cumbersome to make whether they are roasted, boiled or sautéed, and the one-time output is not high.
As for adding manpower to the cooking team, Ye Feng was reluctant, although there were enough manpower now, he didn't want to waste it on such a trivial matter.
So, the "steaming" was moved out for Ye Feng, his operation steps were not very cumbersome, and as long as the base of the large steamer in the pot was a little higher, the food that came out of the pot at one time was several times better than other similar methods, and the taste would not be bad.
However, compared to stir-frying, the tribesmen still prefer to stir-fry.
On the other side of the tribe, red Spring Festival couplets were posted at the door of the wooden house, and a big blessing word paper-cut was pasted at the door and in the window, which looked very festive.
The women were cooking, and the men were not idle, holding brooms, erecting stairs, climbing up and down the wooden houses, cleaning up and down the dust that had accumulated since the houses were built.
At this moment, the little insects and spiders that had been entrenched in the dark corners all the year round were suddenly affected, and they watched the two-legged beasts that had not disturbed each other before, holding strange things, and were invading their homes in a big way.
The poor little bugs surrendered one after another, and their families moved.
In the middle of the tribal square, the makeshift rostrum had long since been torn down and replaced with dried bamboo like a hill.
Since there is no gunpowder, if you want to set off firecrackers like later generations, you don't even think about it.
Anyway, when there was no gunpowder in ancient times, it was to burn the dry bamboo that had not cracked the bamboo joints, and make a sound to celebrate, sacrifice and other ceremonies.
Firecrackers, this is where the name comes from.
At this time, Ye Feng was busy with this.
"Alas, Lao Liu, you can't stuff bamboo there anymore, leave it empty! Well, let the air circulate and help burn! ”
Liu Junting nodded and said, "Okay! ”
After speaking, he was about to reach out and pull out the bamboo, but the root of the tree suddenly stopped him.
He said to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, but if you pull off the bamboo here, the bamboo on it will be unstable and may collapse!" ”
Ye Feng thought about it and felt that what he said was true, so he nodded and said, "Okay, don't smoke this one!" ”
After weighing it carefully, Ye Feng pointed to the other bamboo and said, "That one doesn't work, just smoke this one!" ”
Liu Junting hurriedly stepped forward, and with his brute force, with a bang, pulled out the bamboo.
These bamboos are not piled up in a heap, and it is necessary to take into account its burning efficiency, otherwise, during the celebration, the fire of the bamboo burns flickering and extinguishing, and it will take a while before there is a crackling sound, and at that time, there is no point in making this thing.
The three of them worked like this for a while before they finally got it right.
Ye Feng looked at the masterpiece of the joint efforts of the three of them, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's okay now, let's rest!" ”
Fire prevention, anti-theft, anti-bear children, in order to prevent the bear children who have nothing to do in the winter from collapsing this, Ye Feng did not forget to find a clansman to watch.
In this way, in this busy and joyful atmosphere, the sky gradually darkened.
The tribesmen came to the square early, where a variety of delicacies were prepared for the tribesmen to enjoy.
The center of the tribal square is always the most eye-catching place, where Ye Feng delivers his New Year's greetings.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is a day to be happy. Looking back on the harvest of our tribe Lei Lei, looking forward to the better days in the future! Me, Ye Feng! Here's my best wishes to everyone: happy! Happy! Happy and auspicious Chinese New Year! Wishful! Welcome the New Year! ”
As soon as his words landed, the clansmen immediately burst into warm applause.
Ye Feng pressed his hand against everyone and said, "Everyone should eat and drink, now, we officially light the firecrackers!" ”
As he spoke, Ye Feng left a hole in the torch in his hand under the bamboo that was built high and stuffed it in.
Under the hollow, there was a large amount of flammable dry firewood, and as soon as the flame came into contact, it immediately burst into flames.
The tongue of fire licked a bamboo knot on the lower layer, the surface of this bamboo knot began to gradually blacken, the temperature inside the bamboo began to gradually rise, and the air inside began to expand, and finally the bamboo knot could not stand the pressure, and with a "bang", it exploded.
When the clansmen heard this voice, it was like beating chicken blood, and they were immediately excited, they shouted, called, and expressed their excitement in the most primitive voice.
Ye Feng showed a satisfied smile and left there.
Chu Yun walked to Ye Feng's side with two cups, gave him all the cups, raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year!" Cheers! ”
Ye Feng smelled the faint smell of wine in the cup and knew that it was rice wine.
Ye Feng smiled, also raised his glass to clink glasses with her, and said, "Cheers!" Then he drank it all.
He couldn't help but say, "You girl, is it really good to drink?" ”
Chu Yun rolled his eyes and said, "This can also be called wine?" When I was a kid, I drank it as a drink! ”
Well, Ye Feng was speechless for a moment.
"I guess a lot of people are going to get drunk today." Chu Yun said with a smile.
The last time he celebrated the opening of the bazaar, Ye Feng brought rice wine with him, although it was very low, but for primitive people who had never been exposed to alcohol, it was tantamount to spirits, and after they drank a few large bowls, they instantly fell into a large area.
Ye Feng rubbed his nose, and said in his heart that he couldn't let those soldiers drink later, otherwise if these people were also drunk, they would fall east and west in the square, and it would indeed be a trouble for no one to help these drunks into the house.
