Chapter 259: The system is here
Inheritance, inheritance, order, order. Inheriting the preface hall, the meaning is still very good. This ancestral hall is also large, but the smell of incense inside is very strong, not as empty as the academy, there is an incense burner more than one person high in the middle of the compound, and the ground is covered with a red carpet.
Although the family ancestral hall is also a place to worship the ancestors, I don't feel any coldness at all, nor do I feel the slightest fear, looking at the names in the room, it will make people feel very relieved.
The old man who let Chen Xing in asked, "Where are you from?" β
"Sichuan Province."
"Oh, Sichuan Province, Rongcheng Chen?" Chen Xing shook his head.
"Do you have a character then?"
"I don't remember." In the New Territories, Chen is also a big surname, Chen Xing has several grandfathers, and dozens of people set off together every year during the Qingming Festival, and the hotel has to charter a floor, otherwise it is not enough to sit, but there is still no ancestral hall.
There is a scenic spot called the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, which is only a few kilometers away from the New Territories, but Chen Xingchang has never been there when he is so old, and he has never heard his family mention that this place has anything to do with them.
The old man was a little disappointed. He seemed to want to help Chen Xing trace his roots and find out which branch of the Chen family it was.
Chen Xing doesn't remember the characters. But their ancestral home is definitely not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it may have something to do with Jiangxi.
The genealogy of Grandpa's family was recorded from the Qing Dynasty, and Chen Xing read it once many years ago, and only remembered that the paper of the family tree was like it was made of hay, and he had no impression of anything else.
But no matter what, they are already New Territories people. The old man asked Chen Xing to put on a stick of incense, and this Chen Xing was very happy.
No matter how you say it, it's all from the old Chen family, maybe it was the same ancestor thousands of years ago, Chen Xing bowed as usual, and said in a low voice: "I ask my predecessors to bless me with a double harvest of career and love, Chen Xing is here to thank you in advance." "Stick incense and bow three times.
This ancestral hall is indeed very tasteful, and there are many plaques on the main hall, such as the champion and the first, a door of six jinshi, the salt official Chen Mansion and so on, but after all, this is the ancestral hall of the people, Chen Xing is inconvenient to look around, and it is even more inconvenient to take pictures and videos, so he came out after a hasty visit.
The children were waiting for Chen Xing outside, and when they saw him coming out, they hurriedly came over and asked, "He didn't beat you, did he?" β
"Uncle Seventh is a murderer!" The next step is to go to the White Tower, which is located at the end of the village. Chen Xing has always called the White Pagoda and the White Pagoda here, but he also has a name, Chen Fu said that it was the Literary Style Tower, and when he got closer, he looked at the sign and said that it was the Tuoyun Tower, but in fact it was a meaning, which meant cultivating the local literary style.
This is more common in the south and is a kind of feng shui tower. Like many clans, one of the keys to the prosperity of the Yanguan Chen clan is to study, as can be seen from the Wenfeng Pagoda here, the academy in the village, the plaque in the ancestral hall, and another proof is that the other roads in the village have been renovated.
However, the road near the college is still a historic stone road. Students throughout the ages have walked on those stone slabs, and they can continue to use them for hundreds of years, and they do not get mud or wet their shoes on rainy days.
The Tuoyun Pagoda is located in the center of the pond, surrounded by lotus flowers, this kind of scenery makes Chen Xing linger, and he has been sitting in the lake pavilion to watch the white pagoda and see the lotus flowers.
Until Chen Fuyong came over with a family.
"Chen Xing?" He said hello. Jing Jing wanted to laugh again when she saw Chen Xing, but she couldn't help it, and now she had to pretend to be everyone's lady no matter what...... Chen Xing nodded and said, "Hello, are things done?" β
"Almost." He told his parents,
"This is Chen Xing, who came back with us before, this is my parents."
"Hello uncle and aunt." Chen Xing said. This family is really similar, it's not a small problem like appearance, but when you laugh, you like to show your teeth, and you look very hearty and happy.
"Okay, good, oh, why haven't I heard you say it before!" The uncle was very enthusiastic and completely treated Chen Xing as his son's friend, Chen Fuyong didn't say that he met him halfway on the road, and after briefly talking about Chen Xing's information, he got tired of talking to his girlfriend.
Chen Xing was always worried that Jing Jing would talk about himself and his children, and he was a little weak-hearted. But this was seen by the old couple as not being able to let go, so they became more enthusiastic.
After all, Chen Fuyong and Xiao An are together, and uncles and aunts can only chat with Chen Xing, and they can't leave the guests alone.
"Chen Xing, where are you from?"
"Sichuan Province."
"Oh, Sichuan Province, then you are the first time to come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
"Well, it's only been a few days since I arrived."
"Then you must not have tasted our drunken shrimp, right? This is our traditional craft, what we do in the hotel is not as delicious as what we do, you and Xiao An must eat a little more for a while, and wash the dust for you. "Huh?
Why is it fast forward to dinner? Chen Xing was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't want to go to Chen Fuyong's house to eat.
Without waiting for Chen Xing to refuse, Chen Fuyong said: "Yes, anyway, you are also eating alone, so come with us." But it's just a matter of a pair of fast children, my mother's drunken shrimp and fish balls are super powerful. His mother smiled very happily, grinning.
The child praised her craftsmanship in front of her friends and girlfriends, which obviously made her feel very embarrassed.
"It's almost time for the fish to drift, I have to go back and knead the fish balls, you guys will go shopping again." Jing Jing immediately said: "Then I won't go shopping, I want to go back and learn from you." Chen Fuyong looked at Chen Xing, and Chen Xing said, "I've been playing here for almost two hours, if you don't mind, I'll disturb you......" Drunken shrimp, he wants to eat.
There are also fish balls, I don't know what the difference is with the fish balls on Hong Kong Island.
"Huh! What bother, you are a friend of Ah Yong, and coming to us is like coming to your own home. And your surname is also Chen, maybe we used to be really a family, don't be polite. "Walk back to Chen Fuyong's house.
A two-story small building,There are more than 100 square meters on each floor,There are still more than 100 square meters without a public pool,So it looks big,The things in the living room are not very cheap,The latest Xiaomi75Large screen TV is placed in the living roomγ
The sofa was also very comfortable to sit on. But except for the uncle, everyone didn't sit in the living room to rest, and everyone huddled in the kitchen to watch the aunt cook.
Fortunately, the kitchen is also very large, and they don't look crowded when they stand here. Chen Fuyong's mother explained the method to Chen Xing while cooking, and she had already done the first step of the fish balls, that is, to scrape the fish off the body with a kitchen knife, and now the delicate fish meat has been scraped off, and the white flowers are placed in a transparent bowl.
The bowl was filled with water, which was what she said earlier.
"Floating fish meat can remove the fishiness, make him white, and reduce some impurities in the fish, which is more refreshing when eaten for a while." She skillfully fished it and felt that it was okay.
"The time of floating should not be too long, otherwise the fish will not be able to make fish balls if it is not fresh, and it will not stick. Then when beating fish, you must use a kitchen knife to stomp slowly, you can't use a meat beater, and the meat beater is not delicious. Chen Xing didn't seem to understand, but he wrote it down.
These are all experiences. Chen Xing has a lot of experience, but he rarely goes to the kitchen to practice. In the future, if there is a time to go to the kitchen frequently, these experiences can come in handy, allowing Chen Xing to master the recipes of these dishes in a short period of time.
After making the preparations, the aunt carefully checked the finely minced fish to see if there were any fish bones in it.
After this inspection, she put the white and tender minced fish meat into a transparent bowl with a small amount of water and stirred it.
"That, Xiao An, you boil water and use an iron pot." Jing Jing hurriedly started to work, and Chen Fuyong told her where the things in the kitchen were and how to use them.
The aunt kept stirring the fish clockwise with the fast child, and the speed was so fast that she made an afterimage of her hand, and Chen Xing watched the fish in the bowl turn into something like lotus root powder little by little, becoming more and more sticky.
No additives were added at all, just water, fish, and a little bit of salt. Is it so amazing?
When the aunt taught quiet, she had already begun to direct her to work, but no one asked Chen Xing to help, so he stood close to the back and watched the aunt operate, trying his best to record every step in his mind.
I'm still thinking, what about the drunken shrimp? Chen Xing obviously wanted to know more about how the drunken shrimp was made than the fish balls.
He had eaten drunk crabs before, but he was a little disappointed to be reasonable, the cooked crabs had a little taste of wine, and to be honest, they did not meet Chen Xing's psychological expectations, and they were completely different from what he saw on the tip of his tongue, so he wanted to learn what his aunt said authentic and traditional.
The fish has been stirred, the water is boiling, and the soup stock is almost ready under the command of my aunt. Chen Xing saw the aunt kneading the fish with her hands, scooping out a circle with a spoon, gently putting it into the boiling water, and then gently turning it in a circle in the pot with a big spoon along the clock.
She said: "This is Yu Yu Yuan, the salt official dialect is called You, Yu is the key to mastering the heat of Yu Yuan, and you can't open a big fire." Fish balls are very delicate, no matter what you do, you have to be gentle, and if you have a lot of strength, you will either break or not form. "When I scooped it up in the end, it was like a rice ball, and none of them were broken.
Add a few more slices of sliced ham and drizzle with freshly made broth. The authentic Jiangnan clear soup fish balls are ready.
It's beautifully done, and the presentation is also beautiful, if you put it in the hotel, you can't sell 188 copies?
Chen Xing's mouth opened into an O-shape and applauded vigorously.
"Auntie is too powerful, isn't she? These fish balls are fragrant and beautiful. β
"Hahaha, where, you're welcome, you guys go and sit down, I'll get the rest." Chen Xing wanted to see how the drunken shrimp was cooked, but found that his aunt had already started to fry side dishes, and Chen Xing didn't see a single shrimp shell of the drunken shrimp, which was a little inexplicable, but it was not easy to ask, so he could only follow into the living room.
Chen Fuyong opened the refrigerator and took a large bowl covered with plastic wrap from it. Inside are still moving river prawns.
Oh...... This is a drunken shrimp! How? Chen Xing was confused. The uncle also came with a wine glass and a bottle of wine: "Come on, Xiaoxing, come and sit." As soon as I saw you in the lotus pond just now, I felt kind, but I didn't expect you to be a friend of Ah Yong, isn't this a coincidence? Come and have some wine. Chen Fuyong also said: "You still came a little late to travel here, and next year you will see if you have time in March." We have a very large scale ancestor worship activity here, which is very lively at that time, and many tourists from other places will also come at this time, so you can also come and see it at that time. The rest of the dishes were quickly served.
There are no chili peppers, but the aroma is very strong, and the various aromas are mixed together enough to stimulate the appetite of any anorexic person.
Chen Xing picked up a small shrimp that was still moving, and he was a little at a loss. How do you eat this? When the aunt saw it, she immediately taught Chen Xinghe how to eat, and said: "You pinch your tail with one hand, pinch your head with the other, and put your mouth on the stomach of the drunk shrimp, pinch and suck, and the meat will come out." And eating drunk shrimp in this way can also leave a complete shrimp shell. The uncle nodded and said, "Yes, whether you will eat drunk shrimp depends on whether you can leave a complete shell after eating." "Chen Xing learns quickly.
The silence came from Yanjing, and it took a few attempts to keep a shrimp shell intact, and the meal was full of laughter.
[Wandering in Chenjia Village, time seems to go back a hundred years, these buildings of different forms. The exquisite carvings of the picture eucalyptus, from smooth and concise to magnificent, from sacrificial superstition to return to the basics, are all deeply branded with the imprint of the times, and completely reflect the development and changes of Chenjia Village] [Top 100 of the most beautiful ancient towns: Chenjia Village] [You discovered the beauty of Chenjia Village and got cash: 100,000] You didn't get talent or skills.
But it's also good, 100,000 yuan, this time back is equivalent to a trip for nothing. It's just that Chen Xing didn't expect that Chenjia Village is also the top 100 most beautiful ancient towns, what kind of selection mechanism is this?
Does it have nothing to do with the evaluation on the Internet, only related to my own feelings, what ancient town I went to and think it was good, that is, the top 100 most beautiful ancient towns?
If that's the case...... Chen Xing suddenly felt that the book he wrote had not yet been published, and the subject matter of the new book came again.
It's still the subject of the system. β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ The next day, Chen Xing woke up at the hotel at the entrance of the village.
Last night, at his insistence, he still lived in a hotel not far from Chen Fuyong's house, and he was really embarrassed to eat and live at Chen Fuyong's house.
I drank a lot of wine yesterday, but Chen Xing's strong physique was completely immune to the damage caused by a hangover, but the smell of some wine inevitably came to the bed, so it was good to go to the bathroom and take a shower.
Sitting on a chair by the window, listening to the sound of birds chirping outside, this feeling made Chen Xing very relaxed.
In the future, the elderly will come to this kind of place. Taking out his notebook, Chen Xing started his daily editing again, and the work he didn't do yesterday was done quickly while he had time now, otherwise Chen Xing didn't know where he would live tonight and what he would encounter.
A few good ones were repaired and sent to the gallery, and the rest ...... It's not good enough to put a website. Then send them all out.
Chen Xing hasn't made a photo-only video for a long time, and he uses the editing software that comes with the beep station, which has a lot of copyrighted background music of the beep station, which also prevents him from going to others to buy the copyright.
This kind of video is done very quickly. Completed, sent ...... [I went into the mountains to collect medicine three months ago, but the original Hasselblad film was directly published]
