On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the sugar melon is sticky, and this day is to sacrifice to the king of the stove. According to the Southern Song Dynasty Fan Chengda's "Sacrificial Stove Words": "In ancient times, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the stove king wanted to talk about things. The cloud car wind horse is small and stays, and the cups and plates at home are abundant. The pig's head is cooked and the fish is fresh, and the bean paste is sweet pine powder bait. The man sacrificed his daughter to avoid, and drank and burned the money stove Junxi. ”

The custom of spending a small year in Kyoto, Dongling Kingdom, is also similar to that of the Song Dynasty. Legend has it that on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the god of the stove had to report to the Jade Emperor about the affairs of each family. In order to prevent the god of the stove from speaking ill of the family in front of the Jade Emperor, every family will sacrifice the god of the stove with wine and dishes the day before, and the sacrifices include pig's head and double fish. The mouth of the cannibal is soft, and the god of the stove who accepts the worship is embarrassed to talk nonsense.

In addition to this, it is necessary to make stove sugar. The implication is to stick to the mouth of the Lord of the Stove and prevent him from suing in front of the Emperor. All in all, up and down the Zhenguo Mansion, it began to get busy as soon as the sky dawned.

Gu Ye was wearing a sable dress, which looked thin, but it was actually warmer than wearing three layers of cotton clothes. She rarely got up early in the morning, and after washing up, she went into the small kitchen and discussed with Aunt Yan about making stove candy.

In addition to making the most traditional sugar made from yellow rice and malt, Gu Ye also made sesame crisp and peanut crisp. In addition, I also made a simple rice flower machine to fry rice and wheat to make rice candy. There are many types, and the taste is many times better than the traditional stove sugar.

As for the pig's head, the pig's head was cleaned up early in the morning, and it was stewed for most of the day with a secret marinade, which was crispy and fragrant. Before the pot was cooked, the fragrance wafted out far away, hooking Chu Xiaowu and Chu Xiaoliu.

Because of Gu Ye's injury, after a long time of torture with a light diet and supplements, he has long been hungry for meat. In my previous life, when I was very young, there were caring people in the orphanage who donated a sum of money, and the grandmother of the dean happily improved the food for the children.

I remember that there was a meat dish, which was braised pork head, and each child was divided into five or six slices. In her memory, the stewed pig's head meat was fragrant, and for a long time in the future, she dreamed of eating pig's head meat, and she was holding a big pig's head, the kind that was enjoyable!

After wearing it, although the people here also eat pig's head, they are either boiled in water or stewed with other dishes, and the taste is really not flattering. Gu Ye really hasn't dabbled in the recipe of braised vegetables. Since she rescued Aunt Yan, although she has also done it a few times in front of Aunt Yan, what she has made is not the taste in her memory.

Fortunately, she has a tricky tongue, and after her tasting and verification over the years, she finally touched the threshold of braised pig's head meat. Judging from the smell of this pot of braised pig's head, at least the "fragrance" in the "color and fragrance" has reached the standard of full score. "Color", it looks very good, but I don't know what it tastes like.

There are a total of two pig's heads in this pot, one is used to worship the king of the stove, and the other is used by Gu Ye to make a tooth sacrifice. She went into the kitchen early in the morning, and a big reason was that she was thinking about this pot of braised pig's head.

The braised pig's head was taken to the big kitchen before the sacrifice. Pisces and other sacrificial offerings are prepared in the large kitchen. The small kitchen of the Pearl Pavilion is only responsible for the pig's head and stove candy that Gu Ye is interested in.

The sacrifice to the king of the stove has always been the main sacrifice of the man in the family, and the folk have the saying that "men do not sacrifice to the moon, and women do not sacrifice to the stove". After a busy day, the sacrifice was carried out in the evening. The men put the sacrificial stove sugar and all kinds of good wine and good food, offered to the tablet of the stove king, lit incense candles, set off firecrackers, and the old man Chu recited prayers, mainly to pray for blessings and peace.

After the prayer, the statue of the king of the stove was removed from the wall, gently rubbed on his mouth with the sugar of the stove, and burned on a paper horse, and at the same time shouted "send the king of the stove to ride a horse to heaven", and the sacrifice was over.

Gu Ye did not participate in the sacrifice, and these sacrifice processes were all told to her by her brothers. At this time, she was hiding in the small kitchen, eating braised pork head beautifully. This time, Aunt Yan finally succeeded, and the taste of pig's head meat was the taste she missed the most in the depths of her memory.

The pig's head meat that has just been marinated is extremely fragrant and tender, fat but not greasy, Gu Ye squatted beside the stove, holding a knife in his hand, cutting off a piece of pig's head meat, and kept stuffing it into his mouth. The full moon on the side is terrifying. The girl's body is just getting better, will there be something wrong with eating so much greasy pig's head meat?

Gu Ye glanced at her and said, "There is no common sense, the braised pig's head ** has the effect of replenishing weakness and nourishing the body, nourishing yin." Malnutrition, anemia eat this, yes! ”

"Really? Girl, you won't fool the slave in order to eat two more bites of meat, will you? Seeing that the girl had eaten six or seven slices, the full moon still had no intention of stopping, and couldn't help but want to stop her.

Gu Ye cut a large piece of fat and thin pig's head meat, stuffed it into Yueyuan's mouth, and gagged her: "Are you a doctor, or am I a doctor?" I use the reputation of the doctor to guarantee that what I just said is absolutely true and unfalse! ”

"Wow! Little sister, you are hiding here to steal food. We've got you! Chu Xiaowu smelled the fragrance and broke in, and behind him was Chu Xiaoliu, who was inhaling deeply.

Gu Ye straightened up, and the knife in his hand said to him little by little: "How do you speak?" What does it mean to steal food? I call it eating openly! How? The previous sacrifice is over? ”

Chu Xiaowu gently pushed her hand, pushed the tip of the knife away from him, and nodded: "Yes!" It's over! Little sister, it's so fragrant, quickly cut a piece for the fifth brother to taste! ”

Gu Ye cut a large piece of fat and thin pig's head meat and stuffed it into the fifth brother's hand. Chu Xiaowu said with some disgust: "How can you eat this, it's too fat!" ”

"Love to eat or not!" Gu Ye was about to snatch the pig's head meat back.

Chu Xiaowu hurriedly flashed to the side, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and took a small bite on the meat in his hand - huh? Crispy and suitable, fragrant but not greasy, the taste is really unique. He ate the braised pig's head meat in his hand in three or two bites, and then stared at the pig's head meat on his little sister's plate with salivation.

"Delicious, right? Pig's head meat is still enjoyable to eat fat! Gu Ye said in her mouth, and cut a few more slices of arch mouth for the sixth brother, which was the essence of the pig's head meat, and it was also her favorite. Being able to give up the score to Chu Xiaoliu shows how much she loves and values this brother.

"Hey! I know that you two stinky boys have come to your sister to eat and drink again...... Wow, it smells so good! Baby girl, cut a few slices for Daddy to taste. Zhen Guogong's figure appeared at the door of the small kitchen, and when he saw his sons and daughters eating deliciously, he couldn't help but step in.

Gu Ye ate a little greasy, and when she saw her father, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, after the sacrificial stove ceremony, won't dinner begin?" How did you get to your daughter? ”

"That's right! Dinner is placed in 'Fu Shou Tang', I'm afraid you don't know, Dad came to tell you. Zhen Guogong gulped down the braised pig's head meat, and ate several pieces in a row before he sighed contentedly, "Daughter, the craftsmanship of your small kitchen is getting better and better." Even the imperial chefs in the palace don't have this skill. ”

Fushoutang is the main hall of the courtyard where his grandfather lives, and the usual New Year's gatherings are there, even if he doesn't say it, Gu Ye knows it. Besides, the maids and servants at home are not decorations, so how can they be told by the prince of Zhenguo in person?

"Dad, if you are hungry for meat, just say it, don't cheat your daughter to eat meat!" Gu Ye saw that his father and two elder brothers were grabbing meat to eat like hungry tigers, and quickly cut off the remaining arch and mouth strips and hid them.

Zhen Guogong tore a large piece of pig's head meat with his hands, opened his mouth and took a big bite, and sighed: "If there is a jar of wine, it will be even more beautiful." Men, they should drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl! What to eat vegetarian food, it's too bland! ”

The ancestor of the Chu family seems to be near Shangcai, Henan. Since the memory of Zhenguo Gong, the family's New Year's nights are mostly vegetarian foods such as noodles, and meat cannot be eaten. It also pays attention to the more you eat, the better, what is it called...... "filling the warehouse". What kind of filling is simply cramming. For the Chu family, who have no meat and no joy, this custom is simply torturous.

No, Zhen Guogong, Chu Xiaowu, and Chu Xiaoliu knew that Gu Ye's small kitchen had marinated two pig's heads, so they quietly touched it before the meal, and talked about it first. The sacrificial food could not be eaten until twenty-four.

In Fujudo, the family sits around a large round table. Zhenguo Gong volunteered to call someone, and the others waited left and right, and no one came back for a long time. The Jun family has been married to Zhenguo Gong for decades, so he didn't know his intentions, and said to Old Man Chu with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, let's go to Mingzhu Pavilion to have a look." ”

When I arrived at the Pearl Pavilion, I asked, and the masters were all in the kitchen. When I went in, I saw that the father was grabbing food with his two sons. Jun was angry and funny: "Let you call your daughter to dinner, it's good for you, eat here first, and let a table of people wait for you." ”

Zhen Guogong said with a strong desire to survive: "Madam, our daughter has made another delicious dish." These two stinky boys almost ate all the dishes. I managed to grab some from them. You two, it's too unusual. There are delicious foods, and I don't know how to leave some ...... for your mother."

Chu Xiaowu, Chu Xiaoliu: ...... A pig's head, who snatched and ate more than half of it?

Gu Ye took out the essence part he had hidden, and said obediently: "Mother, I left you the most delicious part." Taste ......"

Jun enjoyed her daughter's filial piety, she waited for her two sons to glance, and said, "It's better to raise a daughter." The girl is the most intimate little padded jacket for parents. It's better to raise a son than to have a cat, and when you're happy, you can meow a few times......"

The two brothers, who are not as good as cats, looked helplessly at their sister-in-law, the little girl who is a brother in strength. Since she came, all kinds of tricks and tricks have coaxed her father and mother so that they can't find the north. They have also been reduced to negative teaching materials that are disliked by their parents. Alas...... It's really sad to have parents who are more feminine than men!
