'Yes, mother, your spirits in heaven are still well. My daughter is doing well down there, you don't have to worry. Next to me is Uncle Li, on the right is Sister Xiaohong, and behind me are my brothers, all of whom are my new family. I am doing well, and you must live well in heaven, please bless our family with happiness and peace. Ah Xiang muttered that he was going to speak to his parents, and put the incense in a cup containing rice in front of him, and he was half-kneeling and kowtowed to his parents three times.

Li Chen also finished talking in his heart, and wanted to say something to Ah Xiang's parents, seeing that Ah Xiang began to kowtow, Li Chen turned his head and took a few small pieces of incense, and also inserted them in the rice cup. Also kowtowed. Then, get up and start burning paper money. After burning the paper money, the whole worship process is completed.

This is a simple tomb sweeping, there is a term called hanging paper. Hanging paper, also known as pressed paper. It means repairing the house for the ancestors. In addition, there is a term called Pei Tomb, Pei Tomb is also a tomb sweep, but the process is more grand.

The group completed the entire ceremony in solemnity, at least compared to the surroundings, it was more solemn. Although there is no one around like just now, there are people swinging, some people kicking the bow, or cockfighting. But there is a group of sour people, with a few musicians, who are opening karaoke over there, and a few people are shaking their heads and reciting poems proudly.

Some read some of the famous works of the ancients, and there are Du Mude, the rain is heavy during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Song Zhiwen had cold food on the way, and the old country was broken, and the wicker was new day and night. There are also those who create their own poems, which are awkward and incomprehensible.

Whether it's good or bad, it's all hard to hear. A few people have incomplete tones, slurred speech, but they still think they are the king of singers, they think they are talented, and they are pulling their throats for fear that others will not hear them.

'Oh my God, has the fat tiger crossed over? Li Chen covered his ears and scolded bitterly in his heart. This is so unpleasant that he can really kill people, and after a while, either he sings Li Chen to death, or Li Chen can't help but handle **** Ade.

Finally, before Li Chen decided that it was better to kill the person who made the noise than to be killed by the noise himself, the noise stopped, and the group of people began to drink, and it was finally not as noisy as just now.

'Let's eat, too.' It is customary to eat sacrifices at the grave. Xiaohong clapped her hands and beckoned a few children to come over.

What do you have to eat on the Qingming Festival? Because it is combined with the cold food festival, it is the food that you get in the cold season, take it to worship, and you can eat it after worshipping.

Xiaohong first opened a clay pot, the capacity is not small, uncover the mouth of the jar, take out a big soup spoon and scoop it to everyone, Li Chen took the bowl and took it, and at a glance, it turned out to be porridge, no, it seems to be bad. Li Chen took out the spoon and was about to take a bite, but was stopped by Xiaohong.

Wait, there's something to add. Xiaohong took out a small spoon and carefully scooped out a little brown and yellow thing, Li Chen didn't recognize what it was, the fat ball was already very excited to come over and pick it up, so Xiaohong gave him a spoonful first. Li Chen motioned for Xiaohong to divide a few children first.

It turned out to be maltose syrup. It turned out that the yellow-brown color was maltose syrup. Li Chen carefully tasted a few sips and tasted the taste. It's not an ordinary porridge, and there are almonds in it, which is delicious. Li Chen likes the almond flavor.

'It's delicious, it's delicious. I like what rice does. Fat Ball's face was covered with mush, Ah Xiang took out a rag to wipe his face, "It's not rice, what else is it made of?" Li Chen asked, "There is also barley boiled." That is cereal porridge, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty people are also very healthy, barley lowers blood pressure.

After eating some porridge as a base, Li Chen picked up an urn, which was very light and did not look like rice porridge. Li Chen scooped out some powder from inside.

'Mix the water and eat. Knowing that Li Chen didn't understand anything, Xiaohong said, as if she was not at ease, took Li Chen's bowl, bit some powder, and then mixed it with cold water, and handed it to Li Chen. Li Chenmei squeaked and ate.

This bowl is a bit similar to the sesame paste in later generations, or noodle tea, which is powdered and mixed with water. Li Chen felt that the taste was not bad, although he couldn't eat anything to make it, but he helped yesterday, and knew that this thing was fried with whole grains, added some dried fruits, and finally ground into powder. The recipe, not necessarily, depends on what is available in each place, plus personal secret recipes.

Three mouthfuls and two bites, put this bowl of dry porridge into his stomach, Li Chen only ate a small full. He ate some jujube cake in the morning, and he naturally didn't have enough for a big-bellied man.

Jujube cake, you can ask him to push steamed cakes, the reason is, of course, to commemorate Jiezhitui. Pinch the jujube into the dough and steam it.

'Let's eat this again.' Knowing that Li Chen was not full, Xiaohong gave Li Chen another plate, at this time, the big head smiled and said, "Uncle can really eat, he said that he only ate steamed cakes for breakfast, but he didn't say it, he ate a lot of steamed cold swallows before going out." ’

Of course, you should eat it early. Li Chen's face did not change and took the plate. Steamed Han Yan can be said to be food, and it can also be said to be decorative. After kneading the dough with flour, the dough is kneaded into the shape of a swallow, steamed and colored, and then inserted into the needle of the jujube tree, which can be decorated indoors or used as gifts.

Of course, the form is not only swallows, but can be pinched into various styles, melons and fruits, birds, animals, flowers... Wait. Speaking of which, it's really nothing to eat, but it's just a cushion for the stomach.

Li Chen took the plate, put three things in it, and grabbed a cold gear first. It's a cold tool, not a Korean drama, don't pay attention.

When it comes to cold equipment, everyone may not understand, but when it comes to steamed dumplings, maybe someone will know. It's a fried product. Flour blend ****. Then make a thin noodle shape, then twist and bend it, and fry it in a pan. Seeing this practice, you should know that this thing was a high-end food in the Tang Dynasty, and it needed honey and fried. This cost was not small in the Tang Dynasty.

To this day, the dumplings are still handed down in the world. The Uygur Han and Kazakh ethnic groups in Xinjiang are still circulating, and they may have been introduced to China from there. If you like it, you can try it, it is fried and crispy, and it is delicious.

Li Chen eats very comfortably, although he usually does not treat himself badly, but these foods are usually difficult to eat, it can be regarded as a New Year's Festival, although he said that he wants to eat, he can do it at any time, and he can only eat it during the festival without regulations, but the food for the occasion is not eaten at that time, it is inevitable that there is something wrong.

In other words, Li Chen thought that the food for the occasion has to be eaten at the right time, and the old-fashioned British are like this. He remembered that his sister had traveled abroad to study, and had spent Christmas in England eating a Christmas cake made with a lot of fruit.

It's pitch black, and it's greasy to eat. It is said that it is a Christmas cake because this thing is usually not bought, and it has to be made at Christmas, and the process is complicated, and it takes half a year to make it. It can be seen that the British are old-fashioned, in other countries, who cares about you, some people want to buy it, and some people will sell it.

'You are not allowed to drink, but you should learn to drink more when you are older. Li Chen can drink spirits in a big bowl or a small bowl of soju, and he is in a good mood today, so he naturally has to drink a small sip of soju. Then he saw someone's hand touching the jug, and he was sure it wasn't Xiao Hongde.

Since this is the case, then shoot it down, scold twice, the little tiger has to withdraw his hand stupidly, and the puppy snickers behind him. Xiaohong took the flask and secretly drank a little bit for a few children.

After eating the dumplings, Li Chen picked up a small piece of earthy yellow pastry. This kind of thing, called fried qi, is actually nothing, it is to take flour to knead, then steam it into cakes or cakes, and then cut it into cubes the size of dice, dry it and fry it with soil. Li Chen ate two bites and stopped eating, nothing delicious, just a taste.

'What is this?' Li was holding a white stick-shaped object, looking left and right with curiosity, Li Chen Xianbao said, "This is called spring rolls, I invented it, eat it." Xiaohong took a bite carefully and felt that it tasted good.

Spring rolls are also a traditional food that Chinese love to eat during the Qingming Festival. Mix flour with water to make a pancake, then add a lot of toppings in the middle and roll it up to eat.

If the ingredients are good, Li Chen remembers that there is sugar, which is available in this Tang Dynasty. I also want peanut flour, this one doesn't have it. The author is not one of those genius directors, filming the Qin State, you can also shoot soldiers eating corn cobs while walking. Otherwise, if you write about the Han Dynasty, there can be a Roman merchant who will cross the ocean to send him potatoes. It seems that as long as Westerners can sail, it doesn't matter whether it is possible to cross the ocean to the Americas at that time.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no peanuts, it didn't matter if there was no peanut flour, the other ingredients were just good, carrots, cucumbers, and other vegetables, plus some shredded meat. Anyway, the appearance came out, and the taste was good.

Li Chen doesn't know when it started, spring rolls have become a food for the Qingming Festival, anyway, the Tang Dynasty has not yet, so he found a way to create it first, I hope that in the future, everyone will eat spring rolls on the Qingming Festival, and they will remember him Li.

'Eat and drink and get ready to go home.' After enjoying the sacrifices and drinking the wine, Li Chen drank the soju himself, don't look at only Xiaohong secretly gave them a little to drink, in fact, Li Chen also prepared juice for them, so everyone was really full of food and drink.

Li Chen spoke, and began to clean up the environment at a young age. But there was still some reluctance, but they were very sensible and didn't say anything.

If it's another day, come to the suburbs, eat and drink enough, and make games, otherwise you will go back after eating, and you don't come to eat in a different environment. But today is Qingming, and they just knew that Li Chen was very disgusted with taking advantage of the spring day to come out to play and go to the grave by the way, so they didn't dare to say anything.

'Alright, don't regret it, let's go buy some kites tomorrow and play with them.' Seeing how regretful the children were, Li Chen softened, they are all good children, they are usually busy and tired, and they have to go to class, so it is not good to restrict them in this way, and the Tang customs are like this.

Like the gang just now, now they have changed their tricks and played tug-of-war... Tug-of-war, according to legend, has been handed down since the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as hook or hook strong, and it was called tug-of-war in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chen patted his forehead, this is too... The Tang people really love to play, and even the Qingming Festival, the time to worship their ancestors, they don't have any reverence for their ancestors... Changed to the Song and Ming dynasties, they were all unfilial, and the court didn't care.

"Don't pat your head again, the court can't control it." Knowing that Li Chen was still struggling with this, Xiaohong comforted him and said.

Three orders and five declarations, there is a hairy use, words and deeds are inconsistent, who will pay attention to you. It is said that during the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong, a large-scale tug-of-war competition was organized, so that the tug-of-war became a cold food and a suitable activity during the Qingming Dynasty. In this case, who would really care, come out and worship the ancestors by the way.

Alas, what went wrong in this Tang Dynasty.
