Chapter 62: Go to the temple fair
Eat rice balls on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the rice balls wrapped by Grandpa Xu, that is really a must.
Brown sugar, cooked peanuts are mixed together and finely kneaded together, and the filling is mixed with lard.
As soon as you bite into the filling, it has a strong aroma of peanuts and lard, but the taste is not very sweet.
I wanted to eat two bowls in one go, but Grandpa Xu was afraid that he would break her, so he hurriedly put the bowl away.
Tangyuan is made of glutinous rice, which is inherently indigestible.
After breakfast, Grandpa Xu put on new clothes for Duan Huan, took Duan Huan out, and went to the temple fair with the people in the village.
When the people in the village saw Grandpa Xu's grandfather and grandson, they all said auspicious words to Grandpa Xu's New Year's greetings, and they were several times more enthusiastic than usual.
Why are you so enthusiastic? In addition to Grandpa Xu's high seniority, it is also the blessing of Grandpa Xu to share meat with everyone in the month of Tola!
Although each family only gets 3 catties, but these 3 catties of meat have to be eaten from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, and the meat for the New Year's dinner and the New Year's hospitality are available.
Huan Huan was put on the shoulders of Grandpa Xu and rode up on the shoulders of the horse, although he felt a little ashamed, but after a while, he was attracted by the activities at the temple fair.
At the temple fair, it was really rubbing shoulders, and such a little doll was either carried or held by adults, otherwise it would not be able to touch the ground at all, and it would be stepped on if you were not careful.
The adults who are usually busy going to work and going to work on the ground all take their dolls to the temple fair to join in the fun, and almost every household is out in unison, can you not crowd?
Jincheng originally had the custom of not working on the first day of the new year, and working on the first day of the new year meant that he would have to work hard every day for the next year.
In a few decades, Jincheng will become a world-famous leisure capital, which is enough to see the spirit of Jincheng people.
Therefore, it makes sense that everyone does not work but travels collectively on the first day of junior high school.
The temple fair is so lively, also because there are no entertainment activities now, and it is not easy to have some fun after the New Year?
Walking on stilts, waist drums, twisting Yangge, dragon dance, lion lantern (lion dance), ......
In her last life, she had seen such an event on TV, when she would rather be alone at home than go out to squeeze at the New Year's Lantern Festival and temple fair.
However, the scene looked like it was quite interesting, even though the costumes and props of these performers were so simple that it was difficult to describe them.
The most important thing is that at the temple fair, there are also snacks and toys that are sold.
Sugar man candy painting, sugar gourd, peach crisp, rice candy, ding candy, dragon whisker candy, and steamed cake with on-site demoulding.
There are a lot of little dolls around in front of every stall, adults buy dolls and smile immediately, and there are adults who don't buy them, and the little dolls roll on the spot and start crying.
The latter was either beaten up, or the adults couldn't stand the doll's crying, so they hurriedly paid for a copy, and then hurriedly coaxed the baby away.
The little dolls knew that they might be beaten, but they also fought hard!
What if the adults in the family can't bear to pay for it?
Grandpa Xu was also very happy to see that there were so many snacks, except for the sugar gourd, he bought something for everyone to try.
Later, I bought kites, masks, windmills and other gadgets for Duan Huan, and this temple fair was fully completed.
On the way home, Bihuan unexpectedly received the envious eyes of many little dolls.
In the afternoon, I brought my new gadgets and shared my new toys with other dolls.
The most beautiful and rare kite flies higher than the beautiful one I made by hand.
Chaosu prefers the mask in the style of the Sun Monkey, and he scratches his ears and cheeks when he wears it, and it looks no different from the Sun Monkey himself.
Qiuyue took out her newly made shuttlecock and played with Huanhuan on a windmill, and the girl always prefers bright and smart things.
Qiu He followed her second brother Xia Miao over, Xia Miao immediately integrated into their circle and had a lot of fun, while Qiu He looked at it with blank eyes, looking like she was going to cry or not.
She was annoyed by her white lotus appearance, but in fact, if she generously said that she wanted to join, even if everyone didn't like her, they wouldn't be able to pull their faces and drive her away.
Besides, it also depends on Xia Miao's face, Xia Miao is reckless and bold, and her popularity among her friends is good.
She looked like she wanted to cry or not and pretend to be pitiful, Qiu Yue and the only two girls in Huanhuan didn't look down on her, so naturally she could only play a one-legged board.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Dahai and Li Sufen brought things to Grandpa Xu's New Year's greetings.
The two of them came to the door with a lot of things, malt cream, candy, canned fruit and biscuits.
There is also an air-dried hazelnut chicken hanging from the handlebar of the bike.
Grandpa Xu hurriedly beckoned them to drink hot water and roast the fire, it took almost two hours to ride from the county seat to Tianshui Village, how could the cold wind not be cold after blowing for so long.
"Chief, I see that Xiaoyu'er has grown taller again, and I don't know if the new shoes I made for her are small or not!" Li Sufen took out another pair of cloth shoes from her baggage, which were also single shoes.
As happy as he was good, he immediately took it and put it on, "Auntie, the shoes are very suitable!" Thank you aunt for making me shoes! ”
Li Sufen just wanted to answer.
At this time, Xiao Jin swooped down from the sky with a "chirp-" sound, picked up a cotton shoe that he had just changed out of and ran.
The sudden appearance of Xiao Jin, with his wings spread, frightened Li Sufen and Chen Dahai.
"Why is there an old eagle at home?" Chen Dahai immediately wanted to catch up.
Duan Huan hurriedly explained, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Niang, Xiaojin is my new pet!" Don't hurt anyone, don't be afraid! ”
"Haha~ You don't know, this golden eagle also likes to take the shoes that he wears to build a nest! The two of them are about to stage a shoe fight when they see the sky! Grandpa Xu smiled and introduced Chen Dahai and his wife.
Chen Dahai and Li Sufen watched Xiao Jin enter their nest with the shoes in their mouths, and they both felt incredible.
Duan Huan simply took off his shoes, put on wool slippers, and quickly hid them all in the house.
The lunch was served to the guests, the dishes were very sumptuous, and the host and guests were all in battle, and none of them were empty-handed.
Cold salad with pork tongue and pig ears, stir-fried chicken with celery pickled peppers, sitting on the pier meat back to the pot, home-style bean fish, braised beef tendon meat, crispy meat croquettes and belly strips with braised lettuce assortment.
When the meal was set, Chen Dahai was still taken aback, "Chief, this is higher than the level of the noodles eaten in the city!" ”
"I got pork and beef years ago! The fish was sent by the parents, and the chicken was a pheasant brought back by Xiaojin! Grandpa Xu naturally talked about the origin of meat dishes, "Everyone moves chopsticks!" Dahai Sufen is open to eat, don't be polite! ”
"The dishes are all good dishes, it's a pity not to go with wine!" Chen Dahai looked at it with joy and pointed out.
He smiled and walked down from the bench and came out of the room with a jar of wine.
This is the time of autumn, in the space with all kinds of grain and spiritual spring water, learn to brew Wuliangye, which is similar to the previous life of the classmates, but the taste is more fragrant, and the degree is higher.
Duan Huan put the jar in front of Chen Dahai, "Uncle Chen, good food is paired with good wine, this is just right!" ”
Chen Dahai took the jar, opened the jar and took a deep breath, "Mmmm, why is this wine more fragrant than the one last time?" ”
"When the wine grows, it will definitely be more fragrant!" Grandpa Xu immediately replied.
Chen Dahai took three cups for drinking water and poured them for everyone, and the four of them drank and drank, and ate and ate.
After two hours of satisfying the meal, Grandpa Xu brought a return gift to the two of them as usual.
A wild boar's foot, a piece of wild sheep meat, and a jar of three catties of wine.
Chen Dahai and his wife are both bold people, and they don't shirk when they take things.
Before leaving, Chen Dahai also gave Huan Huan the money to press the year, and replied with joy and Wishing you prosperity.
Li Sufen also touched Duan Huan's head, and then the two of them pedaled their bicycles back to the county seat.
