Chapter 34: Chinese New Year's Eve I

The thirtieth day of the lunar month

Chinese New Year's Eve

The sky is clear and the sky is clear.

The dark green foliage reflects the sunlight, making people unconsciously squint slightly.

The breeze is blowing, and the branches of the camphor tree not far away are slightly flickering, and even the red lanterns under the eaves echo from afar.

The yellowed hay and dark green leaves on the ground, in this cold day, the vigorous vitality weighs down the dead air under the feet, giving the people who look far away a busy and prosperous scene.

Early in the morning, Song Huan was pulled out of the quilt by Adi and went to the door to change the new mahogany brand.

According to folklore, if you put a peach tree or peach branch at the door, the dirty things will not come close to your door.

Mahogany wood is made of cards, and then the charm is engraved on it, of course, it is also the result of market demand.

This thing was given to Song Huan by the shopkeeper Lu, saying that it was leftover from the restaurant.

Since the last carbon incident, Song Huan and Lu Shopkeeper are no longer the ordinary suppliers and distributors relationship before.

Therefore, Song Huan also knew that there were no couplets on Chinese New Year's Eve here, and only charms would be drawn on the door, or like this, a new peach wood charm sign would be hung.

The charm was drawn at the door of Song's house before, but if she didn't look carefully, the traces were basically gone, and she didn't pay attention to the original body before, which caused her to not understand it very well, who knows, it turns out that this charm plays this role.

Of course, this is an ordinary family, and it is more direct for large households, directly making a large plaque, which is atmospheric and high-grade.

I once learned a poem, one of the verses "always replace the new peach with the old charm", that is, before the Spring Festival couplets appeared, people generally used the peach charm.

After hanging up the peach wood card, Fu Yuanzhi went to the kitchen to light the fire, while Song Huan and Ah Di went to take care of Song Father and Song Niang's cemetery.

According to the rules here, today is to open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

But the Song family has no ancestral hall and no clansmen.

The sisters and brothers cleaned the cemetery of their father and mother, and when it was time to eat, they used it to pay tribute to their father and mother and the ancestors of the shrine.

On the way back, the two turned into the vegetable garden and pulled a radish and some greens.

There was a shout behind him, "Song Ya, Song Ya?!" ”

Song Huan responded, and the tear-filled boy and Liang Dayong followed the sound to see Song Huan waving.

The two of them also entered the courtyard and walked directly over.

The tear-wrapped boy smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the new year again, today I will bring you some food made by the elders in the family." ”

Song Huan took a look and asked, "Glutinous rice cake?" ”

The tear-wrapped boy nodded, "Thinking that you shouldn't have it, we sent it to you, this cyan one is with wormwood." ”

Song Huan said happily, "I'm worried that I don't have anything to eat, this thing is good." ”

She likes glutinous rice cakes the most during the New Year, which is soft and smooth, and soaking pig's feet soup is her favorite.

Of course, there is no such condition now, but it is used for roasting, and the sauerkraut is sandwiched in the middle after the glutinous rice cake is soft, which is also a must!

The two followed Song Huan's sister and brother into the hall, and Song Huan asked Brother Ah to pour hot water for the two to drink.

Song Huan himself took down a basket from the cabinet on the side, which contained melon seeds, peanuts, red dates and Huaishan barley cake wrapped in oil paper, and beckoned the two of them to eat.

Seeing this, Liang Dayong and the tear-wrapped boy swallowed their saliva, and finally looked away, drinking hot water to hide the saliva that came out of them.

They're here to deliver things, not to fight the autumn breeze.

Song Huan saw that the two of them didn't do anything, so he directly stuffed a grab of it, and also took out the pastries and gave them a piece.

It's not good for the two to refuse, and it's not good not to refuse.

"You guys stay and have some food before you go, right? My brother and I weren't so lively. ”

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads, and the tearful boy said, "We still have to go home to help, it's just that we have time to come, and we don't have to eat." ”

For so long, how can the tear-wrapped boy and Liang Dayong not know what the sister and brother eat?

White rice porridge, or white and fat dry rice, is much, much better than the rice bran cake they eat on weekdays.

Why did they stay for dinner?

It couldn't be too shameless!

The two felt that they couldn't stay any longer, and Song Ya's enthusiasm made them a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Song Huan hurriedly took out two and a half rabbits from the kitchen, one for each person.

The two refused, "This can't be taken!" We just gave us a few glutinous cakes, you give us the meat, and we will go back and designate to be beaten! We can't take that. ”

Seeing this, Song Huan could only threaten the two with fishing nets, and the two of them blushed with candy and pastries in their pockets and went down the mountain with rabbits in their hands.

Fu Yuanzhi, who had already been hiding, appeared and continued his previous work in the kitchen.

The first time my brother saw this kind of thing, he was very curious.

"Sister, sister, how do you eat this for nothing?"

"Sister, sister, can you eat this green one?"

"Sister, sister, why is this green?"

"Sister, Sister ......"

In the end, Song Huan sent him away with a word.

The ears finally calmed down, and Song Huan was also happy, cutting thin slices of finely chopped bacon in his hands.

Later, the bacon slices are mixed with white rice and boiled together to make bacon rice.

Then stir-fry a spicy rabbit meat with fresh rabbit meat, and then cook a pot of radish and green vegetable soup, plus a spoonful of lard, which is also a delicious dish.

Finally, there is a dish of sauerkraut.

Stir-fry the sauerkraut in oil residue, add two garlic rice, a few chili peppers, and let the sauerkraut slowly be fried in oil over low heat.

Then use the roasted yellowish surface glutinous rice cake to wrap the oil residue and sauerkraut.

The taste makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

So this dish was added on the fly.

For the sake of the glutinous rice dumplings they gave just now, she wanted to eat the latter more than the other two dishes.

In a matter of time, the meal was ready.

Song Huan filled three bowls of rice, two bowls for Song Father and Song Niang, and one bowl in the shrine.

The sister and brother first knelt under the shrine, held incense in their hands and bowed three times, and then burned paper money while saying auspicious words for the blessing of their ancestors.

After the sacrifice of the shrine is over, it will go to Song Father and Song Niang, here is not so serious, after all, it is a father and mother, and Ah Di speaks very casually, and he can say wherever he wants, there is no logic, but it is easier to win.

Ah Di said on the side, and Song Huan listened on the side, burning in his hands without listening.

What Brother didn't notice was that Song Huan would also give a small dirt bag to burn paper money.

In the end, after a quarter of an hour of chatter, the two went home, and at this time Fu Yuanzhi had already placed the brazier under the table, and the charcoal fire was burning.

On the table, there are diced spicy rabbit meat, bacon rice, and stir-fried sauerkraut with oil residue.

Seeing this, Song Huan asked, "Have you baked glutinous rice cakes?" ”

Fu Yuanzhi shook his head.

Song Huan pointed to the charcoal basin under the table, "Let's put the baba rack here to bake the glutinous rice dumplings, right?" ”

After Song Huan saw Fu Yuanzhi's promise, he soaked into the kitchen and took out the poop rack.

The baba frame is welded with iron bars as thick as little fingers.

It looks like a small table, except that the table top is not a whole flat surface, but a hollow surface with four iron bars parallel to each other.

The shelf is set on the charcoal fire, and the glutinous rice is placed on it, and the charcoal fire can bake the glutinous rice cake through the gap between the iron bars, and whether the skin is soft or crispy depends on your own requirements.

In the process of roasting, if you want to eat the soft skin, turn it frequently.

If you want to eat the crispy, you have to save it for a longer time.
