Within a few days of planting, the melons and vegetables will continue to reveal tender yellow buds, and at this time, it is almost the Qingming Festival.

The day before Qingming is cold food, every household prohibits smoking fires and eats cold food, lily and plum two as early as the day before the cold food festival began to prepare cold food, Qingming to eat all kinds of things: cold porridge, cold powder, green rice

Lamei quietly bit her ear with Lily, "Qingsong said, the gentleman in the school said that cold food should be pushed by the ring, sister, how can you push the ring?"

Lily thought about it, and laughed out loud, legend has it that the Cold Food Festival is to commemorate the Spring and Autumn Period Famous for his loyalty and righteousness of the minister "Jie Zi Tui", Lamei didn't know, as a ring on her hand, I don't know why I came to ask her.

She didn't dare to reveal her considerable knowledge, and only said: "I've heard people say that ring Zitui is a personal name. ”

Lamei's eyes widened: "Who is called this name?"

She felt that this name was really very strange, and after reading it over and over for a long time, the movements of her hands slowed down, and Lily hurriedly urged her: "The rice is going to overflow!"

Lamei hurriedly stirred the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, and removed two firewood from the stove to make the fire smaller, so as not to overflow the green rice.

To mash out the juice from the leaves of the black tree, wash the glutinous rice and soak it in it until the glutinous rice turns green. Then boil a pot of black tree sap mixed with water, boil the rice like normal steamed rice until it is eight ripe, take it out and steam it in a steamer until it is fully cooked.

The green essence rice made has both the fragrance of rice and the fragrance of black tree sap, and the rice grains are dark and green, like a small jasper. If you crush the rice grains while it is hot and put it in a ventilated and cool place to make adult cakes, you can eat them for several days. In addition to green rice, you can also make cold porridge. Cook a pot of rice porridge and sprinkle a handful of peach petals when you leave the fire, which is peach blossom porridge. After cooling, the lily is mixed with various raspberry fruits, and the porridge is thickened, and a layer of shiny rice oil forms on the surface, and raspberry fruits are embedded in the milky white rice soup

, beautiful and sweet.

Magnolia flowers, locust flowers, these flowers with thick petals and heavy flavor, wash and dry, beat them into a paste with flour and eggs, and fry them twice in the pot, which is crispy and beautiful fried petals. When eating, you can sprinkle brown sugar, or you can sprinkle salt and peppercorn powder.

Green essence rice and peach blossom porridge are quite common, but fried flower petals are very rare for Lamei, and she looked at it again and again for a long time before she was willing to eat it. Lily sent her to send some to a few neighbors and Liu Yi's house, so that she could take the opportunity to communicate with people. Lamei was ashamed to see people, but the eldest sister sent her to do things, and she couldn't help but do it. Slowly rubbing her head out of the door, she first went to a neighbor's house, stood at the door for a long time and didn't dare to call anyone, until someone from the family came out, saw her standing there, and asked her what she was doing, she twisted her hands and whispered: "My eldest sister let me."

Bring some food. ”

The neighbor accepted the food, praised a few words, and gave some of the Qingtuan made by himself to Lamei, who was relieved and ran away as if she took the Qingtuan.

Several neighbors sent it down, and Lamei was sweating and feeling more tired than doing a day's farm work. But these neighbors all smiled at her, no one beat and scolded her like her mother, and unlike her mother said, everyone disliked her for being ugly and cowardly, but would give her gifts back.

So when she finally had to go through half of the town to Liu Yi's house, she dared to walk in front of many people, and the eyes of those people fell on her, and her first reaction was no longer to hide, but to go forward with her head down.

Apricot called Lamei "Aunt Lamei", and for the first time in her age, she knew that flower petals could be eaten like this, and she was so happy that she was reluctant to send them to her mouth.

Li Caifeng looked at the things that Lamei brought, and laughed: "I said that Lily has a good heart, sure enough!"

asked Lamei how she made it, and promised the little devil star to make it for her to eat in the future, Li Caifeng also took some things and put them in Lamei's basket, let her take them back to eat with Lily, and said to Lamei: "Go back and tell your eldest sister to send some to Xiaofu and Sanping's house." ”

Lily is a bride, Wang Xiaofu and Liu Sanping are uncles, and they are not always good at dealing with each other, and she is hesitating to send them. Now that Li Caifeng is speaking, it is natural that Lily will send Lamei to run again.

This time Lamei was reluctant: "It's all men, I'm not going!"

Lily looked at her strangely: "In this world, except for women, men are men, if you are afraid of men, you can't live a good life?"

Besides, Wang Xiaofu is active in various villages all the year round, and he may not be at home at this time, Liu Sanping and Song Haonian and others go out to earn a living, and there are only Liu's father and wife at home, even if people want to arrange something, there is nowhere to arrange it.

Lamei thought to herself, the man she can't see is the same as the common man, can it be the same?

"Come on, I'm still making cold noodles here!" Lily didn't plan to get used to Lamei, her timid and introverted nature was not out of nature, but forced by the Zhu family.

If you naturally love quiet, it's nothing if you don't like to see people, and people can also praise two words of chastity and meekness. Obviously, her problems will affect her daily life in the future. If you don't say anything else, it's not likable to say that you don't know how to greet people.

Taking advantage of the fact that she is still not too old now, she can change if she can, the country girl has no pretentious capital, and Lamei does not have Lin Daiyu's life, so she has to turn herself into Grandma Liu in order to live well.

Sorghum, peas, buckwheat, rice, and soybeans can all be made into jelly, among which buckwheat jelly is the simplest.

First, knead the dough into a thick ball and put it in a cloth bag. Let the boiling water cool, put the noodle pocket in and rub it vigorously, kneading out all the starch in it like a laundry dress.

When Lamei came back from sending fried petals, she saw that the eldest sister was sweating profusely and rubbing starch, so she hurriedly washed her hands and stepped forward to help.

Lily looked at her with a relaxed expression, and said with a smile, "No one has eaten you!"

Lamei didn't answer, the families she went to deliver the fried petals had a good relationship with Song Haonian's family, so naturally they wouldn't give her a look, which gave her a little confidence in socializing with people.

However, the habit of years and months cannot be changed for a while, as long as there is a chance, she will still shrink back, just see if Lily gives her a chance to shrink her head.

The dough should be washed for more than an hour, until the white starch can no longer be rubbed in the cloth bag, leaving only a mass of gluten with more gaps. Lily put aside the starch water that was rubbed out, and first scooped out the gluten and steamed it in the drawer.

The gluten is full of elasticity, and the pores can be stained with a lot of spices, and it is delicious whether it is eaten cold or fried with salt and pepper after steaming. Drying in a ventilated place can also be stored for a long time, and throwing a few pieces into it every time you cook soup is also a delicacy.

After the washed starch is quietly left for half an hour, the layers are slowly separated, the transparent water on the upper layer is skimmed, and then the starch slurry at the bottom is stirred well, poured into the pot and slowly boiled to a translucent shape.

Lily is afraid that the cold powder will be boiled and pasted, so she deliberately added a lot of water to the pot to boil it, so that it is slower and more expensive, but the cold powder will be crystal clear, and there is no black impurity at all.

When the translucent powder is cooled out of the pot, it solidifies and becomes a translucent solid according to the shape of the wooden pot. Leave it to dry until it's completely cool, and then it's ready to eat.

Cut off a piece with a bamboo knife, then divide it into small pieces and stack it in a bowl, and pour it with autumn oil, vinegar, garlic paste, garlic sprouts, green onions, pepper powder, etc.

Lamei ate a bowl and wanted to eat it, but Lily didn't agree: "You can't turn on the fire tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you will get tired of eating it cold." While you can still eat hot today, you hurry up and drink a bowl of soup. ”

As he spoke, he took the rice bowl of Lamei, scooped two spoonfuls of gray cabbage gluten soup for her, and added a spoonful of lard to the soup, and the gray gray cabbage, which was originally a little pungent, became smooth, and the soup was also very delicious.

When she finished eating and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Lamei asked, "Eldest sister, I will go to the grave the day after tomorrow." ”

Lily was stunned, she was not a person in this world, and she didn't care much about her ancestors. The eldest girl is a married girl, so she doesn't have to go to the Li family's grave, and Song Haonian is separated to live alone, if it weren't for Lamei's reminder, she really couldn't remember. The thought of dealing with her in-laws' family gives Lily a bit of a headache. She can live her life to the fullest, and her mother-in-law's family is more troublesome than her mother's family, just a sister-in-law Song Xiuxiu makes it difficult for her to resist, if she adds a mother-in-law who naturally has an advantage, she doesn't dare to do so

Think.

As far as Lamei has seen these days, her eldest sister is smart and capable, nothing can stump her, and suddenly seeing the smile on her face disappear, Lamei is also a little panicked: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

If the eldest sister and her mother-in-law fight, she will definitely help the eldest sister, but I am afraid that she will not be able to help, and the eldest sister is not a person who can fight. Qingsong returned to the Song family, but there were several sons

Lily didn't know that Lamei had begun to compare the "combat effectiveness" of the two families, rubbed her forehead, and said, "You reminded me right, I have to buy some incense, candles, and paper money tomorrow to send back, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be blamed when I come back in the New Year." ”

Originally, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not happy, and if the husband hated it, no matter how capable the lily was, it would be difficult to live a good life.

Lamei volunteered: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of my home!"

Lily had a plan, her heart slowly settled down, and when she saw Lamei's solemn face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "That's my mother-in-law, what are you afraid of?"

No matter how powerful a person is, he can't control his daughter-in-law's sister-in-law.

Lamei shrunk her neck, she can live her current life, it all depends on her eldest sister, if the eldest sister is not happy, she will not have a good time. What she was afraid of was that the Song family thought she was eating white food, and forced the eldest sister to send her away, and the identity of her in-laws was placed there, and the eldest sister would not be able to keep her at that time.

The two sisters have their own hearts, Lily is fine, Lamei is younger, she can't hold her breath, and she turns over several times. Lily couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so she patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of something, you take care of my home." Only then did Lamei slowly fall asleep.

In the yard, the black tiger let out a thin whimper from time to time, and the black tiger was silent, occasionally barking once or twice, warning it not to bark indiscriminately and disturb people's good sleep. Aoyagi Town and the sound of the continuous water of the Baishui River sink into a quiet and sweet dreamland.
