Before the autumn harvest, Tu Sinong entered the palace with more than a dozen ears of sorghum.

"Your Majesty, the sorghum in the barren land is ripe, the grains are large and full, and the minister estimates that it can yield about three stones per mu.

Tu Sinong thinks that this yield is very good, but it is a waste utilization of barren land.

"Very good, very good, sorghum is also food!" Xia Hongdi kept nodding, this Tu Sinong is doing practical things, whether it is double cropping rice or sorghum land, the implementation of the emperor's order is in place.

"In the five prefectures near the capital, the barren land counted by the minister, if you dig deep and pile up dry land, there will be about 23,000 acres, and the minister will transform these into sorghum land!"

"I'm right!" Finally breathed a sigh of relief, this year, his people have finally eliminated the locusts, and the chickens and ducks of Daxia should be remembered! Zhang Ruren, who invented artificial incubation technology, is really good!

Yazhou Prefecture and Lingnan have already harvested the first crop of rice, and now the second crop of rice has been planted, and without the scourge of locusts, this year's output is only much more than in previous years.

Dali Village is also a bumper harvest year.

The annual autumn harvest holiday of Zhongqin Bofu is underway.

Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan became the leaders of the autumn harvest, carrying six dolls dressed in the same short strip, carrying small baskets, and picking up ears of wheat!

"Brother Xiaoshan, it's so hot!" Ding Doudou couldn't bear it first, his little face was red, and the little straw hat he wore didn't work, he was the youngest brother, and his brothers let him on weekdays.

Xiaoshan had to take the lotus leaf, fan him while picking it up, and cheer him up.

"Ah, my fingers are bleeding! Woo, auntie, I hurt!" Mai Mang's wheat mang pricked a small blood spot on the little finger of the three heads, and the baby screamed in pain.

Cuihua hurriedly ran over to check, and flushed his fingers with cold water, "Then Xiao San will rest for a while, and then pick it up when it doesn't hurt."

The three heads had tears in their eyes, half-dropped, how pitiful and pitiful he was, he was bleeding, why did he still have to work and couldn't go home?!

"Third brother, third brother, let's compare who picks up the most at noon!"

Xiaoliu is also very tired, but this is all their family's food, picking up a basket is a basket, but you can't keep it in the field and let others pick it up!

Xiao Wu and Xiao Shi, who are little experts in work, are the happiest, which is much more interesting than reading and writing in the house, and they are happy to work in the village.

The big pears in the Zhuangzi are ripe, there are chestnut trees on the mountain, and the sugar-fried chestnuts made by the mother (aunt) are fragrant and delicious. Although the red fruits in Hongguo Village are sour, the rock sugar gourd made by the mother (aunt) is delicious.

The mill has recently ground a lot of new wheat noodles, and the newly ground wheat noodles have a fresh fragrance, making wheat cakes, and Xiao Wu can eat ten sheets alone.

In the hot weather, Cuihua had a poor appetite, thought about it, and made a luxurious hand-rolled cold noodle meal for the children.

Mix the new flour into a dough, knead it vigorously in a basin repeatedly until the dough is smooth and chewy, then roll it out into a thin flatbread shape, fold it several times, and cut it into thin noodles.

After the noodles are cooked in boiling water, remove them, put them on a plate, add a spoonful of cooked soybean oil and sesame oil, mix well, and let cool.

Shredded cucumbers, bean sprouts, and shredded carrots make garnishes.

After the chicken breast is cooked, it is torn into shreds, shredded meat with sauce, scrambled eggs, fresh shrimp, braised eggs, etc.

Seasonings include: vinegar, soy sauce, garlic juice, chili oil, sesame paste, etc.

Cuihua can be seasoned on the spot according to their requirements and tastes.

Refreshing and greasy, there are many flavors, so that this group of boys are clamoring to eat three bowls, no longer disgusted with the hard work of picking up ears of wheat, and eat after finishing the work, it is really fragrant!

After working for a few days in a row, the dolls in Yuanfu were about to wilt, and the villagers of Dali Village couldn't help but sympathize with them, and some people kindly persuaded them:

"I said Zhang Ruren, your family is really willing, grandchildren and grandsons do not return to the village to work every year, and they work for five days, but don't give the sun and peel off the skin, the skin of the doll is tender."

"What's so reluctant about this, male baby, the skin is very solid, which of you baby is not

What are you doing?"

"Our family's monkey, how can it be compared to the young masters in the house!"

"It's all the same, it's all the same, who didn't grow up eating grains, this is also to let them work and know how to cherish food!"

The villagers can't help but admire the Zhongqin Mansion, the wealth does not forget the roots, and their mansion should soar.

The situation of the autumn harvest in various places has been quickly summarized in the capital, and this year can be regarded as a rare harvest year after Xia Hongdi ascended the throne.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has never loved festivals, plans to respond to the frequent letters of the Ministry of Rites this year and hold the Autumn Society Ceremony on the fifth day after the beginning of autumn.

On the fifth day after the beginning of autumn, the autumn harvest in all parts of the Great Xia Dynasty has ended.

The reason why we chose "Wu Ri" as "Sheri" is because "E" is the fifth of the ten cadres, in the "center", and the five elements correspond to "earth", which means luxuriant.

In other words, this day is an "auspicious day of the zodiac" to worship the god of the land.

This time, the Autumn Society Ceremony was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the three o'clock of the day was chosen, Xia Hongdi took the prince and hundreds of civil and military officials to apply five-colored soil on the altar of the society, and played music and danced.

After welcoming the gods, offering incense, laying jade silk, three offerings, blessings, drinking blessing and receiving the gizzard (drinking blessing wine and accepting the meat), kneeling three times and worshipping nine times, sending the gods, and looking at the fire, it is considered a ceremony.

For a whole hour, the heavy dress made the prince's back full of sweat, and he no longer had the joy of participating in this grand event.

After the sacrificial activities were completed, Xia Hongdi, who was dressed more solemnly than the prince, was also very tired. He instructed the Ministry of Rites to distribute the sacrificial meat to the ministers of civil and military affairs who came today, which means that he and the officials will enjoy the good fortune of good weather and good weather.

In addition to the ministers who attended the meeting, people like the Zhongqin Bofu were also able to receive sacrificial meat.

Cuihua received the reward: ten catties of beef, ten catties of mutton, ten catties of pork, these three animals are used in the palace today, and the amount of their family is proud.

Local officials also held rituals.

Mr. Mu had another holiday, and Xizizi took the holiday fee to make an appointment with a few friends, and went to drink and have fun.

Follow the customs of the country, as soon as the grand ceremony of the autumn society opens, the girl who gets married will take the baby back to her parents' house on this day.

Cuihua simply took the children from the house back to Dali Village, and went to Yuan's Mansion in Dali Village with her mother's family: eating community meat, making community cakes, community meals, and drinking community wine.

The community meat rewarded by the palace is mostly cooked, and it needs to be processed again when eating, and the general custom is best to eat it within two days.

The beef received by Zhongqin Bofu looked like beef tendon meat, and Cuihua was marinated directly, just waiting for the marinade to soak up, and then take it out and slice it when eating. It's best to give a few of them a few drinks!

The mutton is peeled and turned into a thumb-sized piece of meat, and the barbecue material is mixed in, the cumin is salty and fragrant, suitable for children who don't eat spicy, and the chili noodles are suitable for adults with heavy tastes. The nobles of Great Xia loved mutton more than pork, and the cooks also loved to work mutton.

Xiao Wu never forgot the tamales that his second uncle would marry his second aunt, and Cuihua made ten catties of pork in one go: steamed pork ribs, steamed pork, salty roasted white, and steamed fragrant bowls.

The cake is made by the second sister-in-law, Fan Jingjing, who uses rice flour, adding almonds, walnuts, jujubes, brown sugar, and honey to the fermented rice flour, and then putting it on the steamer.

In fact, it is the practice of using hair cakes, but there are more supporting roles added.

She rice, Shu people have the traditional practice of Shu, and Zhang has become the operator of today's two community meals.

I selected the fatty bacon that was still left this year, burned it over the fire, and then washed it and cut it into small cubes for later use, and picked the tender onion and cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate for later use.

Dishes such as beef, lamb, pork loin, chicken breast, etc., cut into thin slices the size of chess pieces. Then marinate with oil, soy sauce, Shao wine and other seasonings. Garnish with diced carrots and green peas for later use.

Stir-fry the diced bacon in the pan until the oil is almost out, then add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, add carrots and green peas, and continue to stir-fry evenly.

Finally, add other marinated meat slices, fry until the meat is seven mature, and then you can put it out of the pot

Disk for standby.

Put the washed japonica rice into an appropriate amount of water, boil, add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice, and put glutinous rice and japonica rice in a one-to-one ratio.

When halfway through cooking, bring to a boil the pot and add the pre-fried meat and diced vegetables, add to it, and mix well.

Then insert chopsticks into the rice, insert a few more ventilation holes to heat the rice evenly inside and out, and then add a certain amount of oil along the edge of the pot.

When done, cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is cooked.

When the rice is cooked, the aroma is fragrant, and the japonica rice and glutinous rice are covered with various meat aromas. Then sprinkle with finely chopped wild onions, red and green, which is very beautiful.

It tastes fresh meat, crisp and delicious vegetables, and the taste of japonica rice and glutinous rice is glutinous and non-sticky. It's really, suitable for all ages, it makes people have a great appetite, and they are not satisfied if they don't do three big bowls.

In addition to keeping their own food, they also had to send a bowl to each of the people in the village. I sent a lot, and I received a lot, which really responded to the sentence "After sending my own, I can't finish eating others"!

In Cuihua's memory, before she got married, the Zhang family also cooked several times for the society, although the meat in the past was not as rich as it is now. Memories are superimposed, and the taste is doubled.

"Ang woo, all the meat is added to the rice, it turns out to be so fragrant, mother, will you cook like this in the future?" Xiao Liu sighed while eating, it would be better if there were no diced carrots in it.

"What kind of food do you eat on what festival, and you don't get tired of eating it every day?"

"Not tired, not tired!" The little ones shook their heads in unison, indicating that they could continue to eat.

"It's a pity that Dad can't eat such a delicious meat rice, Mother, I'll help Dad and my brothers eat an extra bowl, right?"

"Your father must be eating big fish and prawns on the sea, so it's not bad for us to eat this little club food!"

Xiaozi Xiaowu: What a pity!
