After the snow in the village was cleared, people slowly moved around, and the village slowly regained some vitality, nothing else, because the New Year is approaching, everyone has to get busy and prepare something for the New Year.

Fang Cancan also hurriedly took action, in the past few days of snow, she has prepared the clothes that her family will wear for the New Year, and there is still some food at home, dried meat, and vegetables, but it is the New Year, you have to prepare things, otherwise how can you have the atmosphere of the New Year?

The snow has not disappeared, so now I can't go out to the town at this time, so I can only clean the house first, because they are a new house for the Chinese New Year last year, so when they clean, they only cleaned some places.

Not this year, we have to do a thorough cleaning, first clean the house, move out the bedding and everything in the house, first sweep the roof, and then clean up the rest of the place.

The nooks and crannies of the house were cleaned, and then they were scrubbed again, and the room alone was tidied up for a day, and then the kitchen and barn were cleaned up, and finally the yard and backyard, and after every part of the house was cleaned and scrubbed, it was already three days later.

Because the weather is cold, the work is done after the temperature rises, and in the afternoon, it starts to get a little cold, so it takes more time.

By the time the house was cleaned up, the snow had already melted half, although there was still snow, but it was not completely impossible to get out, so on the twenty-third day, Han Fuda drove the ox cart and took the Fang family and his wife and children to the town to buy things.

The Wang family also went with them, but because one ox cart could not sit down, the family drove their own ox cart with them, and the two ox carts carried everyone to the town together.

Because it was the first time to go to the town after the snow, most of the people in the village went, and today was the time for the sacrificial stove, so I had to go to the town to buy some things, otherwise there would be nothing in the sacrificial stove at night!

When they arrived in the town, they were even more numerous, and first they put the ox carts away, and then they all went to the town together.

Because he almost lost the trouble during the Chinese New Year last year, this time Han Fuda found a cloth belt to tie him to his back, so that he could watch the excitement and at the same time ensure that he would not lose it.

The other two families were also tightly pulling their own children, originally they didn't want to bring them here, but the children had been trapped at home for a long time, so they were very excited to know that they were coming to the town, and they were all clamoring to follow.

Seeing them like that, the adults didn't want to disappoint them, so the children came with them, but they all explained before they came, they must not run around, and they must stay by the side of the adults.

A few people first went to buy some things to be used for the night sacrifice stove, the portrait of the god of the stove had to buy one, and this night had to paste a new one, and there were specially made cakes to buy some, this thing was necessary, and some people made it themselves.

But because Fang Cancan usually prepares steamed buns for his family, he has to buy another cake, and also prepares some fruits, which are very expensive at this time, because these are specially preserved by fruit sellers.

Fang Cancan bought some apples and pears, as well as some sugar cane, which cost nearly a tael of silver, which shows that this fruit is really expensive in winter.

When I was shopping, I also found green vegetables, and the man said that it was a special greenhouse at home to get it, which was very expensive, even more expensive than pork, but this is normal, because at this time, unless it is a big family in winter, other people can only eat vegetables such as radish, cabbage, and potatoes.

The greens can be said to be invisible at all, so this greens, which are more expensive than pork, are not easy to sell, but Fang Cancan took a fancy to them and directly bought all the greens.

The man also sold some before, but there were very few people who bought it, because it was too expensive, but this person was not in a hurry, and these dishes were sold during the Chinese New Year.

However, when she was met by Fang Cancan, she didn't want to miss it at all, so she quickly bought all these dishes and put them in Han Fuda's back basket.

After buying these things, the rest are pastries, candies and other things, and the last thing they lack at home is these two things, so they don't have to buy them anymore.

So these people started to walk around the street again, and when they saw someone selling wontons, they all went up and ate a bowl, and after a while, they saw someone selling tofu brains, and they went to eat another bowl, and finally they went to eat dumplings.

When they were ready to go back, adults and children were all eating with round stomachs, and they were still carrying the steamed buns, oil cakes, vegetable cakes and other things they bought, as well as snacks packed back.

It would be strange if the children didn't want to eat, and several families were willing to get used to their children because they didn't lack money in their hands, and they bought them all this food.

When I got back home, it was already half an afternoon, so I went to get the charcoal basin first, and then boiled the water, and when I came back, I was not hungry, but I was very thirsty.

After coming back from the trouble, he went out with the toys he bought as soon as possible, many children in the village went to the town today, so he wanted to go to his friends to play together, Fang Cancan looked at him dressed warmly, and he was not sleepy, so he gave him some water to drink, and then let him go out to play.

She and Han Fuda put all the things she bought back, and then went back to the house to lie down for a while, which took a long time, and she felt a little tired.

Lying on the kang for a while, I feel much better, and after coming down, I hurriedly prepared dinner, and today I want to sacrifice to the stove, and this dinner is also eaten on time, not too late.

After dinner, Fang Cancan washed up the trouble, put him on the kang, and then she followed Han Fuda to the kitchen to prepare the sacrificial stove.

The portrait of the god of the stove was pasted when he came back in the afternoon, and now it is enough to prepare the things, prepare a few plates and put the tributes, sweets, pastries, fruits, and cakes, and the four kinds of tribute.

I also have to prepare special little red candles, incense, and yellow paper, these are all things to be used later, after everything is done, Fang Cancan went out, this sacrificial stove has to be brought by the men in the family, and there are only two men in their family, Han Fuda and Naohao.

However, there was no need to make trouble with this sacrificial stove, so it was handed over to Han Fuda alone, and after Han Fuda went in, he quickly got it according to custom.

The husband and wife went back to the house to sleep, and this tribute was to be offered overnight in front of the god of the hearth, so there was no need to care.

Wait until the next day, get up in the morning, collect the tribute in front of the god of the stove, and then prepare boiling water, and breakfast is enough.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, because the Li Zheng of Hanjia Village had said that the whole village would get together for a meal on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, so the twenty-fourth morning came to collect the cashier, and there was no money in the village.

Five hundred yuan per family is enough, there are about sixty or seventy families in the whole village, Han Fuda's family took ten taels of silver, and finally received almost fifteen taels of silver, which is completely okay, the whole village eats together, these are enough.

On the twenty-fourth, there were several young men in the village who went to the town together, they were all going to move things, and the two ox carts of Han Fuda's family, the Wang family's ox cart, and the Fang family's ox cart were also called over to help.

Four ox carts went to the town together, and Li was carrying the silver, and the village cook, who knew what to buy and how much to buy.

So when I was in town, the person in charge of the spoon was in charge of the selection, and the man was in charge of paying, and the others were in charge of carrying the things, and it took a morning to buy them.

At last the ox carts were filled with three, and the remaining one was also partially loaded, and the rest of the place was given to these people to sit on, and the group returned to the village in a mighty way.

Because he had already collected the money before, Li Zheng also bought a bag of rice and a bag of white noodles this time, so that he didn't have to ask the villagers to bring anything when he cooked tomorrow.

When he returned to the village, most of the people in the village were already waiting in the drying field, and the chef in charge also brought his own people, and he usually went to other people's houses to cook to make money, so he quickly organized.

The women went to pick and wash the vegetables, the men made two makeshift stoves out of bricks and mud, and some people went to prepare the chairs and benches, although tomorrow was the feast, but because of the large number of people, these things had to be prepared today, otherwise tomorrow would be in a hurry.

The stove was quickly set up, the chef lit the fire, and then quickly put the pot on to boil the hot water, and the women contributed a part of the dishes and chopsticks at home.

Some people go to wash these dishes and chopsticks, because they are all idle and not used by the villagers, and they are also for entertaining guests, so they need to be washed in advance when they are to be used.

Some of the women went to wash the vegetables, which can be left out today, but they have to be picked and washed in advance, and the meaty vegetables have to be cooked today, and they can be served tomorrow as long as they are stir-fried in the pan.

Otherwise, if you go to get meat dishes tomorrow, it will be too late, of course, not every meat dish has to be done in advance, but some of them must be made in advance, and some of them can be left for tomorrow.

There is also to prepare the steamed steamed bread well, because the steamed bread needs yeast to ferment, and the people in the village generally use mash to make this yeast, but you have to make a small ball of noodles in advance, which is the most critical for fermentation, and you have to get this thing good today, otherwise it will be a problem to steam steamed steamed bread tomorrow.

Fang Cancan also followed the women in the village to pick vegetables, while Han Fuda went to prepare tables and chairs, and ran around with the children in the village, and the village was very lively for a while.

This drying field is relatively close to their house, so if there is anything missing, many people will let them go back to pick it up, but they don't need much because they are very well prepared.
