I haven’t eaten maltose just out of the pot for a long time, and Yang Xiaobei is not afraid to pry the burnt candy bars from the pot to eat when boiling sugar. It’s a little sticky, but it smells good! Eating by yourself is not enough. Every child will be happy if they distribute and share one chopstick!
Everyone is so old after talking about her childish behavior, and they are still fighting for candy with children of several years old …
In fact, you don’t understand that after eating all kinds of sweets for so many years, Yang Xiaobei seems that maltose taste is the purest original sweetness, which is beyond the reach of any expensive brand. It is normal for foodies to rub some food before making candy.
After eating for a few days, I saw that it was the 23 rd and 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month. Twenty-four house sweeps; Twenty-five make tofu; Twenty-six to cut meat; Twenty-seven slaughter cocks; Twenty facials; Twenty-nine steamed buns, thirty nights, one night, singing children’s songs since childhood, yes, everyone is following this progress
This candy has been prepared and carefully sealed in a ceramic jar. It won’t be taken out again before the Chinese New Year. Now I don’t want to cook more everything. I can’t let the children eat more except on New Year’s Eve. I will only take it out when I am entertaining guests.
After cleaning, everything in the house will be moved out for washing and brushing, and then the dust on the ceiling and cobwebs on the walls will be cleaned. Women will be responsible for cleaning all the sheets and quilts during the New Year. When there is no washing machine, all the parts are denim. This is a big project. Fortunately, the weather is beautiful and gloomy, and it seems that it will be rare to clear up in the snow. So Yang Xiaobei quickly pulled out the washing department and washed it all day, which is almost exhausted!
God can’t wait until the sheets are almost sunned. This time, there is no time to catch rabbits. There are more important things to do.
There are only a few days before the Chinese New Year. The village decided that it is indispensable to catch fish in the river for the Chinese New Year, not only because it is "more than one year", but also because it is the biggest harvest of the Chinese New Year. There are more fish in the lakes and ponds near the river in Hanjiachong, but every family has to share dozens of kilograms every year.
Now it’s time for everyone to clean up the leftovers left over from the Chinese New Year and marinate them to make dried preserved fish. It’s also a good dish after the New Year. This is a big event in the village, and everyone in the village will come over.
There is a lot of snow, but everyone’s enthusiasm can melt the ice and snow. The scene is full of people. As early as winter, the water level has been put to the lowest point. Now, a large number of people are standing on the waterwheel to drain the remaining water. Generally, a pond can be drained quickly and then moved to a front. The efficiency of the water industry is particularly high
Fish fry are stocked in a unified way in spring, and they will be caught once in the New Year. The taste of real wild free-range river fish is not the same as that of later generations’ intensive fish ponds. The fish in ponds are not very big, and the largest grass carp is only a dozen kilograms. However, people like to catch fish with their bare hands in the cold river mud in the cold winter, arm in arm and barefoot.
It’s time to harvest after stepping on the water so hard. In an instant, people shouted, "Over there! There is a big one over there! " "here! There are two people here! " Sometimes people at the bottom of the river are slapped with mud by dying big fish, which makes the shore people laugh, and some people are too absorbed in it. Sitting in the mud is always more fun than lively.
The shore has already prepared a large bundle of straw, and when the men come out of the mud, they light a raging fire on the shore to keep them warm and wait for the fire to slow down. Then they go to a pond to catch fish, so they have been busy all night. The village house is already full of piles of fish, that is, "piles" of fish will not be raised, and all of them will fall to the ground directly. Anyway, they will be distributed to various families and horses will be disposed of.
Chapter 129 New Year
When I came home late, although everyone was very tired-Yang Xiaobei was just tired of shouting, but the harvest was full, and the fish were divided into baskets according to the head. Everyone was happy to carry them back to work and play crazy all day. * But I can’t take a bath and sleep. It’s better to dispose of the fish overnight or it will be bad for the next day.
Because the temperature was too low in the evening, Yang Laohan decided that the three fathers would kill and wash the fish. Well, although this is women’s work, no one has seen it since it’s late.
When Yang Xiaobei got up the next morning, he saw that the processed fish had been hung up with palm leaves and hung a long string of fish and meat in the house. All these fish and meat had to be cooked 20 or 29 years ago to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner. In addition to fresh fish, all the parts needed to be salted, and then smoked into preserved fish and put some dried peppers in it. Special rice is not easy to spoil and it is a rare food after the New Year’s Eve.
And there is another thing to eat after the fish in the pond are well caught, that is, lotus roots, which are not divided. Any pond has already produced thousands of kilograms of lotus roots. No one can eat so much, and usually dig as much as they eat at home. After all, digging lotus roots is not easy, tired and cold. Every year, most lotus roots rot in the mud, and almost no one is benefited.
Yang Xiaobei knows that this lotus root is also a business, and it is well done. The red lotus root here in northern Hubei is also famous for its tender and fragrant glutinous rice, but for one thing, it is still a lot of things that are not so flexible. Secondly, if you want to do this business, it is best to dig the lotus root a month ago. Now it is too early to buy it. Someone must buy it. Who did the problem? Forget it. Let’s just keep it in mind.
Years ago, there were still many bases around "eating", and it was twenty-nine years before the twelfth lunar month that Yang Xiaobei was still catching the high-speed train in Puhai. Things often happen! This year, she has been busy blasting pills early in the morning.
As I said earlier, the family reunion dinner here in my hometown is too early for breakfast. Last year, because I sent my second aunt to the hospital, it was almost the last Spring Festival in my village. People have to hurry up this year, and all the seasonal dishes have to be finished today, including fried pills, boiled pork head and fish jelly.
There is no extra meat to make pills. Now they are all vegetarian lotus root pills, sweet potato pills, mung bean pills, etc. But when they are just out of the pot, they are as crispy as meatballs. It is better for my sister to stay in the kitchen! Every day at home, there is meat to eat and delicious pills to give to one and another! Sister-in-law is the best I silently pray that my sister-in-law will never get married!
When Yang Xiaobei was eating while frying, his sister and I were going to have a round belly before it was almost over. ) Then fry the fish in a pill oil pan. The way to cook fish here is to fry the fish thoroughly, add bean paste, dried Chili, onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry and add water to taste. Finally, add shredded white radish to absorb the fresh and spicy taste of the fish. This is the essence of this bowl of fish!
In the evening, the main event is to cook the pig’s head. Put the whole smoked pig’s head into the cauldron and cook it until the chopsticks can be inserted through. Then, remove the bones by hand and keep the meat as a final dining table. Of course, the removed bones will not wave. There is always some meat that can’t be removed, so everyone can chew it together!
I don’t want this image. I can chew the bones for Wang Xingren for three months!
It’s finally New Year’s Eve in the middle of the busy schedule. For Yang Xiaobei, getting up at 6 o’clock in the morning can offset the expectation of the New Year, but there is still a big table to cook! After working for two hours, I was finally comforted by a table full of rich dishes. Well, only food can forgive me!
This year, Yang’s family is in the old house for the Spring Festival, and the uncle family has arrived here. Everything is the same as last year, except that the children are one year older, and the family is happy for the New Year. It is different from the beginning of last year. This year, Yang Xiaobei has been loved by all the children. I know that there are countless delicious sisters, such as Fang Jie and Ling Jie, who will pester my sister-in-law to ask about the latest style. At present, the "red man" in the family is not the second person except Yang Xiaobei.
When paying homage to his ancestors in the evening, Yang Laohan mumbled for a long time in front of Grandma Yang’s grave. For him, the past year has been earth-shaking. There are too many things to say. The children finally got into the university and decided that their daughter-in-law is a good in-law. Their daughters are also good at home. They are sensible and capable. They will be doctors in the training class. They will also earn a lot of money in business and take it out to build houses for their brothers …
"Ah, old woman, my good day is coming! It’s a pity that you can’t see it. "Finally, Yang Laohan said gently to his underground wife, smoking a cigarette. In front of his eyes, he saw the woman who was married in a red dress, laughing and working quickly, and gave birth to so many women. It’s a pity that they are well educated …
"Dad! Why don’t you go home? It’s too cold outside! " When the eldest daughter saw that he didn’t come home for a long time, she knew that her father was talking to her mother again. She was busy finding the mountain. When she was a child, her father was upset, but she often went to the grave of her mother. She never went there again since her little sister lost it. She knew that her father felt ashamed to see her mother. If her little sister came back, he liked to run to the mountain again.
Yang Laohan is 60 years old, which is quite old in the countryside. Sister Yang thinks that he always runs badly in the mountains. Isn’t that what superstition means? Besides, what if mom thinks she misses dad and takes him there? Brothers and sisters can have lost their mothers, but they don’t want to go with their fathers so early.
It’s not good to say "whisper" to his wife when he sees his eldest daughter. He got up and went back to his home without saying a word. His daughters and sons-in-law have not seen Yang Qitai for a long time, and they all make fun of "college students"!
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every room is lit with candles, and the oil lamp department is bright. All the children are here. Everyone is talking and laughing. The children are running wildly. The large population means prosperity and the hope that the children and grandchildren will be surrounded by bright lights. Yang Laohan’s little sadness has just come in and disappeared long ago.
Chapter 13 Forgetting
I went to bed too late on New Year’s Eve. When Yang Xiaobei woke up, he was still a little confused. He always felt that he had missed something for a long time on his pillow …
Er-I seem to have forgotten someone.
If resentment can break through the sky, Zhou Zheng is estimated to have completed the Shenzhou plan before this time. Since Yang Xiaobei went home on holiday, he has been back to the sea for a long time! Qian Yi’s second brother ran to the county seat every day, even if Yang Xiaobei went home, he wouldn’t be cut off. This time, Hehe closed his account. Wang Dacheng went home, and Yi Er’s not coming, so he’s the only one left in the world!
It’s a pity that he prepared the ceremony early, and Yang Xiaobei informed him to visit his parents and specially greeted his uncle. In case it’s too impolite for him to go alone when he wants to go, it’s a pity that he thought of everything, but he forgot him without thinking of Yang Xiaobeigen.
As the Chinese New Year approached, he was eager to see it, but he didn’t wait for a few words. He was so depressed that he planned to kill the door regardless of it. Anyway, he knew where Yang Xiaobei’s house was, but in the end, Zhou Zheng managed to control his impulse and didn’t get Yang Xiaobei’s consent. This is called acting first and acting second. When the time comes, the beauty will be angry and take serious consequences. He will calm down as soon as he wants.
The two uncles and nephews didn’t have a good year. Anyway, they lived in a guest house and didn’t have a family. Two men just managed to have a New Year’s Eve dinner and finished it. Looking depressed, they stopped drinking and my nephew laughed at him a little. Zhou Ji also felt unbearable. That was called decadence!
