Chapter 330: Lantern Pole
The two of them can be regarded as old husbands and wives, and today Yun Yingying was also blushed by Han Li's concerned actions and tone.
"Brother Li, I'm not so fragile, let me tell you, today we are on the commune's side."
Yun Yingying was warmed by Han Li's ears with his hands, his hands were in his arms, and he was half-hugged and sat on Han Li's lap to tell about today's incident to the commune.
And Yun Jingjing and Qi Zhaodi began to boil water in the outhouse to prepare for scalding after killing chickens, and today's New Year's chickens must be slaughtered to meet the occasion.
In addition to the two old hens that He Mi exchanged for in the house, Yun Jingjing also dug out a few pheasants from the snowdrift.
Qi Zhaodi grabbed the two old hens with a kitchen knife and a basin, the five fingers of the left hand clearly fixed the old hen, and the right hand began to pluck the hair on the chicken's neck, and after the hair was plucked clean, the hen's neck was put on top of the basin, and the kitchen knife was picked up to cut off the hen's trachea and blood vessels, and finally carried the hen until its blood flowed clean and threw it aside, and the other hen enjoyed the process of killing the chicken.
At this time, He Mi borrowed a large bundle of wicker from the villagers' houses and came back, and Yun Yingying got off Han Li's lap and ran into the courtyard to help after hearing the sound.
At this time, the water in the pot was almost boiling, and the four of them worked together to remove the feathers and disembowel the chicken.
The internal organs of these chickens generally only leave chicken hearts and gizzards, but Qi Zhaodi cleaned up the chicken intestines and chicken livers.
The three of them looked at Qi Zhaodi's movements with some doubts, and Yun Jingjing couldn't help but ask.
"Little Sister Qi, what are you doing cleaning up these chicken intestines?"
"These chicken intestines can be fried with chicken hearts, chicken blood, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards. When I'm at home, I can make three dishes with a chicken, and the chicken can be eaten with chestnut stir-fry, but this dish can only be eaten by those who are useful at home.
The chicken racks and chicken bones were used to make soup, but I didn't drink the first soup at that time, and if my grandmother and uncle's family were left, I would add some water and salt to it, and if there was no left, I would also use hot water to rinse the basin and drink some oil.
Even when I eat these chicken offal, I can only eat two bites of chicken intestines at most, and the chicken heart, chicken blood, and chicken gizzard are not my turn to eat, but the chicken intestines are really delicious, and you will know when I wash them and fry them. ”
Qi Zhaodi's words made the others silent, and when they didn't know what to say, they stepped forward to help clean the chicken intestines together, but this chicken intestine cleaning was not an ordinary trouble, and they ran into Yun Jingjing, a person who loves cleanliness, and the three of them washed it for a long time to clean it.
The daytime is still too short, and they went to the commune for a walk today, and when they finished cooking these, it was already time to cook dinner, and Qi Zhaodi personally fried chicken offal.
She first cut the chicken heart, chicken gizzards, chicken liver, and slices, cut the coagulated chicken blood into pieces, cut the chicken intestines into sections, put them in the pot and water them, and drained them for later use.
The chili pepper is chopped, the ginger and garlic are minced, the fat in the chicken belly is cut into pieces and the oil is refined with water, and then the ingredients are fried with this oil and then added to the chicken offal.
The smell of sour and spicy wafted through the whole outhouse, and the smell was pungent at first, but it quickly made people's saliva secretion accelerate, and they felt hungry.
"Qi Xiaomei, your skills are amazing, I am a little hungry now, or let's start dinner now."
"Like, the smell makes me hungry too."
"Then I'll call Brother Li back for dinner."
Han Li came back and washed his hands and tasted a bite of fried chicken offal, the chicken blood was soft and smooth, the chicken gizzard was chewy, the chicken intestines were elastic, and the taste was sour and spicy and delicious, and several dishes on the table were the first to be eliminated.
After eating, Han Li still took the dog and the lynx out to let off steam, and the four of them decided to paste out the lantern today.
I took the wicker and sat on the side of the kang and began to work, although everyone had learned from the sisters-in-law in the village how to help the wicker, but it was not ordinary to do it.
At the beginning, the shapes they made were either big or small, and it was good to make an oval shape, and Yun Yingying even made a lantern skeleton similar to a square shape, which made everyone laugh for a while.
However, by the time Han Li came back, He Mi was already able to make good shapes.
Han Li looked at the strange-looking lantern skeletons on the ground and wanted to laugh a little, and forced his tone to speak in a calm tone.
"That's pretty much it, what are you doing with so much."
"Brother Li, we plan to make a string of it, the red light and white snow look good when you think about it."
"There's no need, the lanterns hanging here are different from ours, these wicker ones are usually closed at the door, but most homes will plant a lantern pole in the yard, and then hang the wooden or iron lanterns high."
"Why?"
"I don't know much about this, it seems to be a habit left over from when I went to Kanto. Probably to show people who are still in the wild the way home for the New Year, and this lantern will be lit from the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve until the 15th of the first month. ”
"Shall we plant a lantern pole in the yard?"
"If you want to plant it, we can plant it, now we are using electricity and I am not afraid of lanterns, I can also make wooden lantern shelves, you are responsible for pasting it with red paper."
"The inside of the yard is the inside of the yard, and we need eight lanterns to hang two at each of the street doors and two at the door of the house, and we must tie these out."
"As long as you're happy, you can also make more small lanterns to decorate the yard."
After Han Li came back, everyone laughed for a while, cleaned up the scene, and everyone dispersed, washing, putting on the kang, and turning off the lights.
After opening his eyes, it had already come to the second day, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and Han Li had just opened the street door today when he saw Zhang Yaozu walking over.
"Brother Han, will you go up the mountain later?"
"Up the mountain? What to do on the mountain at this time? ”
"The goose heard yesterday when I was drinking at my uncle's house, and the lantern poles were planted here to hang red lanterns during the New Year, and many people didn't think much about it when they burned oil and wax, which made the lantern poles of many homes rot.
But today the village is electrified, and many people in the village plan to hang the lanterns high, and everyone says that they will go to the mountains to pick a similar tree and cut it down and drag it back in the next two days, and if we go late, we will have to walk farther. ”
"Then let's go and wait for me to change my clothes and bring my tools."
"Then go and see if Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian from the Educated Youth Institute are going."
When Han Li got home to change his clothes, he told the sisters about it, but then he thought of He Mi's side again.
"You go and ask Hao Hongmin and He Mi if they want to plant lantern poles, if they do, I want to get the Fa piece back."
Not long after the two sisters went out, Zhang Yaozu came over when Han Li was sharpening knives and sawing.
"Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian don't go, then only the three of us will enter the mountain."
"After all, people live in the Educated Youth Academy, so let them like it."
"Then I'll go back and see if Xiangjun has prepared the guy."
"Well, I'll get to you later."
After a while, the Yun family sisters walked in with a few girls, but they probably didn't plant lantern poles because they were too troublesome.
Han Li took his knife and saw and led the dogs to join Zhang Yaozu and them, and then went up the mountain against the bitter cold wind and stepping on the thick snow.
It's better to walk on the road where everyone often goes into the mountains, but when you turn into the woods on the side, you suffer.
Because the snow on the ground was knee-deep, it was very difficult to take every step.
In order to find a suitable trunk as soon as possible, Han Li and the three of them distanced themselves a little.
This lantern pole tree should not be too thick, otherwise it will not be able to get it back, it cannot be too thin, otherwise it will be easily blown off by the wind, and the straighter and higher the better.
Han Li's goal was to almost achieve it, and there was no need to compare the height of the lantern pole with the villagers.
When you find the target, take out the saw and stick it to the root, knock it down, and then use a knife to repair the thinner tip and branches.
Finally, tie one end of the trunk with a rope and drag it home.
The tree trunks that everyone chose were similar, but the speed at which Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu dragged the trunks was far inferior to Han Li.
In the end, Han Li tied the two tree trunks together, and the three of them pulled them back together.
Even so, when they dragged to the door of the house, the two of them were panting there like old cows holding on to the wall.
The next step is to peel the tree, so that the lantern rod can last for a few more years.
The woman of the Han Li family had already chosen the location and dug the pit, all he needed to do was tie a rope to the top of the tree trunk and set it up, fix it with stones and dirt, tamp the ground with a thick wooden stick, and finally sprinkle some water to freeze the lantern pole into one with the ground.
Han Li finished his family's work and went to Zhang Xiangjun's house to help them erect the lantern pole.
Yun Yingying and the others have already fermented the noodles today, and placed the basin next to the stove, so that the dough can ferment better in this cold weather.
When Han Li got home, he sat on the kang and immediately drank the hot tea.
Then they began to discuss how to write the Spring Festival couplets, no, at this time, it should not be called Spring Festival couplets or couplets, it should be a slogan and attitude, which is an extremely critical point.
You must know that although it has been much more relaxed in the past two years, every word still needs to be carefully considered so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Don't even think about auspicious words like Sanyang Kaitai and Wufu Linmen, and there are many, many words that can't be used.
However, He Mi's literary reserves are really not blown, and when everyone was still thinking about it, she had already read the first pair softly.
"Spring ploughing, summer hoeing, autumn harvest and winter storage, abundant grains, wind and rain are smooth, snow is prosperous, and the four seasons are safe."
Han Li felt that this pair was very good, the harvest and stability were very much in line with the current overall situation, and there was nothing wrong with it at all.
He was about to say okay, Yun Jingjing then read out a pair.
"The situation of the east wind is infinitely good, and the red flag is recruiting new agricultural meteorology."
Although Yun Jingjing's pair is relatively straightforward, it is also fine, and it is more in line with the current overall situation.
In fact, they have two families and two yards, and they can use these two pairs at the same time.
But they all looked at Han Li at the same time, as if they were waiting for him to give him a good offer.
Although they didn't speak, it only made people more troublesome.
But fortunately, at this time, Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, and Meng Zaihong came, looking at the package they were holding in their hands, needless to say, it contained clothes that must be changed after taking a bath.
"What are you talking about?"
Yang Xiuying still talked as soon as she entered the house, but their arrival just solved Han Li's current problem.
"Nothing."
