Chapter 251: Reunion
For two or three days in a row, busy until the twenty-eighth day of the New Year, the home was suddenly full of delicious food, in the storage room, large baskets and small baskets, film-sealed bags, scattered or hung up, or rested on the shelves, what the family wants to eat, they will take what they want.
From the beginning of the fried goods, the family's breakfast becomes boiled, add broth and water to the pot, cut half a cabbage, boil and then put in the crispy meat and fish pieces and vermicelli pot to stew, simply so that the cooking is particularly delicious. Whether it is the two fathers Yang Houpu and Shen Genshen at home, or Shen Weiguo and Yang's mother, they can eat two mouthfuls of big meat, cut the big meat into thin slices, and put it directly with the crispy meat.
The habit of celebrating the New Year in my hometown, such a big pot stew will basically be eaten from the 278th of the New Year to the 6th or 7th of the Lunar New Year, but Rao is so, and I still never get tired of eating it for so many years. Mother Yang often sighs that this is a good year, in the past, to be able to have a piece of meat, a few pieces a day to taste the taste of meat is a good year. When the year is bad, it is difficult to eat vegetarian dumplings during the New Year. How can it be like now, just the fried goods in the past few days of the New Year, can be piled up in half of the room, and the stewed meat is the main ingredient, constantly eating.
Twenty-eight handfuls of dough hair, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns. Before the Spring Festival, steaming steamed buns in every household is also the rule of the hometown, even in later generations, some traditions are still retained, but not as much as at this time. But it is precisely because of such rules that the New Year is more New Year's flavor and more interesting, rather than trying to find the New Year's flavor like later generations. The rules of the hometown are only five days old, that is, the fifth day of the first month, and you can't do less pots. That is, you can't make fried melon seeds, stir-fried steamed buns and the like.
Because steaming is the same as competing for the same sound, stir-frying is the same as the same noise, these are all unlucky, and you can't eat porridge or porridge noodles and the like, otherwise it means being confused for a year. The beginning of a new year is to ask for a good omen, I hope that the new year will be smoother, and the days will be more and more prosperous, such a beautiful prayer, the old man cares about these, Wen Juan and Shen Weiguo also learn to obey it, and it makes sense to exist, just like Wen Juan, she can't explain the mystery of the gold chain, reincarnation, and special abilities.
And the twenty-nine steamed buns must be steamed well, because when this is at home, it is the face of the family. The steamed steamed buns at home are sent to the graves of the three generations of deceased direct family elders on Chinese New Year's Eve morning to worship, and the offering table is set up in the evening, and the offering table cannot be removed until the fifth day is broken.
Seeing that Wen Juan and Shen Weiguo respected them and followed them seriously, the three old men were undoubtedly more energetic, and Mother Yang sighed: "That is, the atmosphere has been loosened in the past two years, so I dare to do such rules, a few years ago, these rules were feudal and belonged to the four olds." What kind of revolutionary New Year, how can there be a little bit of New Year's atmosphere! Thinking of the coldness of the previous years, Mother Yang couldn't help but nag, anyway, they are all their own people, and no outsiders will spread it.
"Hehe... A-Niang, isn't it time to set things right, the atmosphere is open, and the days will get better and better in the future, you can rest assured! "In the affairs of the country, Wen Juan will pay attention to the impact of policies on the family, but she does not comment too much. She doesn't know how to rectify, and she doesn't want to get involved, even if the Houwei country accumulates military merits and is promoted, he himself is not a fool in this matter, and he can play with ease, and she doesn't have to worry too much.
Easily put the bun skin in her hand with the appropriate amount of filling, Wen Juan pinched it flexibly at hand, and after a while, a bun skin became a bun with eighteen wrinkles and delicate fillings. On the twenty-ninth day, Mother Yang not only steamed white flour steamed buns, but also tightly stuffed them, made steamed buns with meat and vegetables, sugar horns, Wen Juan also made some jujube flower steamed buns, mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, Saqi horses, donkey rolling and other high points, the family prepared rich materials this year, Wen Juan can also toss a handicraft, whether it is the family to eat by themselves, or to entertain guests, it is a good choice.
"That's it, that's it, the days are getting better and better, and that's the way to go!" Shen Genshen answered, and Yang Houpu nodded on the side. Shen Weiguo rolled the skin, Wen Juan and Yang Mu stuffed, the two old brothers looked at the two little things as usual, and the two little things were very interested in Wen Juan pinching and kneading a small ball of dough for each of them, which made the two old men have more time to intervene with their families. Wenhai Wenyu, Wen Juan drew the key points for them, assigned homework, and was still completing their homework at this time. The family talked and did their own things, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious and warm.
Another night of sunset and moonrise, sunrise and moonset, officially arrived on Chinese New Year's Eve. The New Year, which is a month long, is a day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Early in the morning, Shen Genshen and Yang Houpu took Shen Genshen and Yang Wenhai to set up an offering table for the elders of the two families, and then posted a door pair.
The morning meal is a big pot stew, Wen Juan and Yang's mother's skills are countable, even if the big pot stew is eaten for two or three mornings, the family is very hungry. Even a little guy likes to eat the small crispy meat and vermicelli inside, the vermicelli absorbs enough broth, and the two little guys eat with relish.
According to the previous rules, the amount is small and the amount is more, but the table is full of one or twenty dishes, and the middle of the table means that there is more than braised carp every year.
Adults each have a cup of medicinal wine, celebrating the happy reunion of this year, Wen Yu and Wen Hai are not old enough to drink, so they took soda instead, two small things, and took the soup that Wen Juan specially gave them to cool to make up the number, and they were also counted in the reunion, treated like little adults, and did not ignore their existence because they were small.
The two little things looked at the adults raising their glasses, and they also imitated them, holding their own small bowls, and also raised them to signal, and then brought them to their mouths, raised their heads and drank the soup in the small bowl in one breath, and shouted that the adults watched their bowls drink clean, until the adults praised them again and again, and they were fed other dishes with a smile. These two little things have reached the age of love, and they always want to show their love and praise them, so that they can be liked and praised by their families.
Eating dumplings in the evening, Wen Juan and Yang's mother prepared pork cabbage, mutton and green onions, dried wild vegetables and eggs, as well as rare shrimp mushrooms and carrots three fresh stuffing four kinds of dumplings, there are meat and vegetarian, although it is not big, but the filling is full, boiled out one by one big belly, two little guys like to eat dumplings, open the small belly, one person ate more than a dozen dumplings, this meal is really not small.
