Chapter 33: The Dawn of the Clouds (4)
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening upstairs, "Sister Yan, are you back?" "It's Bi Yu.
Dan Yan raised his head and replied loudly, "Sister, I'm here." ”
Bi Fei also ran down from the upstairs, and the sisters walked up the creaking wooden stairs, and the objects randomly placed in the ancient mottled corridor seemed to have never been intact, all maintaining the appearance of Danyan's deep memory.
Bi Yu took Dan Yan to her house, "My aunt knows that you went home today, and made a big table of dishes at noon, and called me in advance, and we will go over together at dinner time, and you will play with me first." ”
Dan Yan agreed, and at this time, a melodious music came from Bi Yu's room, "Is my brother-in-law still studying thin slices recently?" ”
There was some admiration in his eyes, "He has become more and more energetic over the years, and recently he is developing a new unique skill - playing a variety of musical instruments while writing calligraphy." He also intends to blow beautiful notes out of glass flakes. ”
During the conversation, the two came to the door of Bi Yu's room, and saw that Fu Tan was "single-minded and dual-purpose" - with leaves in his mouth, playing the dulcimer with his hands, and performing two different songs at the same time, "Picking Tea and Fluttering Butterflies" and "Ten Sending the Red Army", which won a burst of praise from Danyan.
An entire wall in the room is covered with awards, including the title of "King of Folk Arts" awarded by the county government, and countless other awards, large and small, among which one of the most eye-catching, is the "Guinness Flakes Playing the World's Best" certificate.
At present, Futan can master the number of types of "thin slice" musical instruments, which is unparalleled in the world. Cans, mineral water bottles, used toothpaste skins, leaves, flower petals, most of these common things in daily life, people will throw them away, but Futan treats them as treasures and plays beautiful tunes with these small objects.
At the top of the closet are 13 musical instruments such as dulcimer, suona, jazz drums, gongs, cymbals, etc., and Futan can also play 13 instruments and sing at the same time, which is equivalent to a small band per person.
Dan Yan simply sat on the bamboo chair, "Sister, I haven't heard you sing mountain songs for a long time." As soon as the words fell, Futan babbled and played the familiar accompaniment melody, Bi Yu danced with both hands, knocked on the bamboo board, and sang the Hakka song "Brother Goes Out to Nanyang", "Brother goes out to Nanyang, floats across the sea and goes out to the countryside, I wish Brother to take care of his body, take care of his health and health, and people fight for breath and Buddha for incense." The song was so melodious that a few birds landed on the eaves to listen.
Danyan's mother stretched out her neck from the kitchen and shouted, "The babies are cooking." ”
"It's coming-" Danyan, Bi Yu, Shi Kang, and Futan walked down together, and fried noodles, cage bed dumplings, taro buns, mochi, etc. had already been placed on the table, and the aroma was mouth-watering. The powder is white and tender, soft and smooth, and is stir-fried with dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, amaranth, blood fern and quinoa.
Tulou dried cabbage has a history of more than 400 years, and there are two kinds of dried beets and dried sauerkraut. The dried beets are dark and oily in color, and the taste is sweet and delicious. When making, the fresh mustard greens are washed first, dried for 1-2 days, until the leaves are soft, and then fumigated with a steamer, steamed and then dried, and steamed again after drying, and so on more than three times, that is, the so-called "three steaming and three drying". Some of the finely processed ones have to be steamed and dried seven times.
The dried sauerkraut is yellow-brown in color and has a sweet and sour taste. When making, the fresh mustard greens are washed first, then softened and chopped, rubbed into the urn with salt, so that it is sour, and then taken out for about a week to stew and dry, and then fumigated with a steamer, dried after steaming, steamed and then steamed, and collected after steaming more than twice. Although dried vegetables are not a rare thing, they are a must-eat for Danyan every time he goes home.
