Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 88
The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a small year, and it is a day to worship the stove.Tong's family moved here this year, so naturally there is no offering for the Stove Lord. Fang's still placed candy on the horizontal plate above the pot, and burned a few pieces of paper in front of the stove pit.It means to let the Stove Lord go back to heaven and say more good things.After the new year, it's time to get busy. 24 On this day, Yun Song led several sons, took a newly made broom, and cleaned everything inside and outside the front and back yards.Because the window paper is freshly pasted, there is no need to paste the windows.Next, it was time to steam the steamed buns. At 25, Fang began to steam the steamed buns.I steamed it in two pots, it is ready for the guests to use later in the year, so I only ordered a red dot. 26 On this day, I steamed two more pots, this time steaming jujube buns.When kneading the steamed buns, when the steamed buns are kneaded and ready to be shaped, use a knife to gently draw a few lines on the top of the steamed buns, then poke with two fingers on the top of the steamed buns, lift it up, and make a small nose Come on, put the jujube cut in half into the little nose, and the jujube steamed bun will be made.You can also get a few more around, that kind of steamed buns are very beautiful.Yuxian likes this kind of steamed buns the most, and she looks happy when she sees them.

During the Chinese New Year, there must be fish, which is called surplus every year, but in winter, it is not easy to get fish, so Yun Song went to the river to dig ice and fish.Fang was worried about Yun Song, and had to give a few words of advice every time he went out. Yun Song had been busy for several days, and only caught five or six fish. If he wanted to go fishing, Fang would not let him go. These were enough.

On the 27th day, Yun Song began to send out gifts. Yuxian soaked a lot of mung beans on the [-]th day, and found a broken vat, and produced two vats of mung bean sprouts.Not only for eating at home, but mainly as a gift. This thing is a rare item, and even money can't buy it.Besides, it is not easy to have some fresh dishes on the New Year's table, so Yun Song decided to serve them with bean sprouts and other things as gifts this year.Yun Song carried a fish, two boxes of snacks, two pieces of fabric and a bag of bean sprouts to the old house first.This time, Qin's complexion is much better, and the old man is even happier, "Yun Song, you just separated out this year, and you lack everything, so what are you giving here? It would be nice to keep it for the children."

"Father, this is to honor you and mother. There is enough for the family." Yun Song didn't say much, and left after sitting for a while.Then I went to the house of Tong Shiwang and Tong Shiming, who were all fish and bean sprouts.Finally, some bean sprouts were sent to Mrs. Zhao's family, Chunsheng's family and others who got along well with their husband and wife. They were also very happy to see these white and tender bean sprouts.

Yun Song was busy outside, and Fang's was cooking meat at home. The meat that Bilian sent was not eaten yet, so this time it was all brought into the house, and everything that should be cooked was cooked.It is mainly loin meat, the kind of pork belly, which is the best for braised pork.There are also elbows and pig heads, all put in a big pot, and water is added and slowly poured on.At about the same time, put pepper, aniseed and other seasonings in the pot, and a smell of meat will waft in the room, making people salivate.

Fang boiled all the skins with water again, then shaved off the fat on them, washed the skins with alkaline water, cut them into strips, and put them in a pot to boil the skins as jelly.This is a good food that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. If there are guests at home, it is best to cut a plate and eat it with garlic when serving.This skin jelly can also be divided into clear jelly and muddy jelly. Qing jelly is the meat skin soup that comes out of the soup. There is no skin in it, and muddy jelly is the one with meat skin inside.

At 28, Yun Song took some things and went to his mother-in-law's house in Xijiang Village.I was thinking of bringing Mrs. Wu over to celebrate the New Year, but my brother-in-law wrote that he would come back, and he might be home on the 28th.Yun Song left for Mrs. Wu what she had brought, a fish, a chicken, a piece of meat, two boxes of snacks, and a set of clothes, shoes and socks that Mrs. Fang made for her mother.From the inside to the outside, from the head to the soles of the feet, everything has been made new. Of course, the old lady is very happy. "This kid, Biyun, is not in good shape yet, so she's busy doing this and that. What are you doing all this time for? How is the family? Are you okay?"
"Mother, everything is fine at home. Dalang and the others recognized a master, who taught them literature and martial arts every day, and the children made progress. Yuxian also recognized a master, who belonged to the shopkeeper Fang in the town. By the way, Yuxian her Mother also became sworn brothers with shopkeeper Fang, and they became siblings, and will leave as relatives in the future. Mother, you have a new son." Yun Song told Wu about the children.

"Okay, okay, it's good that the children can be successful. Mother has been looking forward to this day, Yun Song, your good days are coming. By the way, are you going to your mother's place?" ? Don’t be too unfeeling, after all, you are an elder, and you have to go during the New Year’s Eve.”

"Understood. Mother, I have discussed it with Yuxian's mother. We should go and return for the New Year's Day, and we will not interfere with the rest."

"Yes, that's the right thing to do. Don't let people find out the reason, just make a face of it." Wu also agreed.

"Mom, I have to go back. I'm busy at home. After the new year, our whole family came to pay New Year's greetings to mother in the third year of junior high."

"Okay, let's go back and help Biyun with some work." Mrs. Wu sent it to the gate.

Fang started to fry all kinds of things today, meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, eggplant boxes, dried fruits, and tenderloin wrapped in batter and fried.Yuxian gave her mother another idea and made a confused chicken.It is to chop the chicken into pieces of similar size, wrap it in batter, and fry it in a pan.After frying, stew it with old soup when waiting to eat.Because they are all wrapped in noodles, no one knows what is inside, so it is called confused chicken.There is no way to do this, so resistant to food, two chickens can make a big pot.

Dalang and the others smashed a lot of walnuts and pine nuts, and Yuxian made some walnut candies and pine nut candies with her brothers, and the room smelled sweet.The finished candy was sent outside to cool, and then cut into small pieces with a knife. Several people wrapped the shaped candies in paper, and kept the leftovers for their own consumption. The mouth is full of beauty.

This year is New Year's Eve on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. After breakfast on the morning of the 29th, Yun Song and the children pasted couplets on every door.The barn is posted with five grains full of warehouses, the barn is also posted with six livestock prosperous, water tanks, and kang cabinets are all pasted with the word "Fu".Inside and outside the house, beaming.

The lantern pole was also erected, and a big red lantern was hung on it. There are ropes and pulleys to adjust the height of the lantern, so that you don’t have to worry about the candle.

After all this work, Yun Song led the boys to visit the grave, and Fang led Yuxian to cook at home.The New Year's Eve dinner is eaten in the evening, that is, at the end of Shenshi, so there is still plenty of time.The mother and daughter were very busy there. Mr. Yuan was infected by the atmosphere and came to help, but he couldn't do anything, he could only light a fire, pour water and so on.Then he is also very happy. For more than ten years, he has been hiding in Tibet every year. How can he have any thoughts about the New Year? Now he can be safe and secure, and the family is busy cooking the New Year's Eve dinner. It is an unimaginable happiness before. up.

Several pots and stoves in the house were on fire.Stewed fish, stewed pork ribs, and stewed a big goose.The Fang family has cooked a lot of delicious food, not only because this year is the first year after the separation of the family, but also because Mr. Yuan is here, and he is the master of Da Lang and the others.When Yun Song came back with the children, the dishes were almost ready.

Seeing that they were all back, Mrs. Fang called everyone to wash their hands and prepare to eat.Everyone worked together to put all the food on the table, and the table was still placed in the east room.When all the dishes were served, Yuxian was startled, oh my god, how many dishes are there?They are all piled up.Yuxian looked at the dishes on the table, stewed fish, braised pork ribs, stewed goose, confused chicken, braised pork, dry fried tenderloin, eggplant box, meatballs, stir-fried meat, bergamot cabbage, bean sprouts, fried fungus, cold pig ears , as well as braised pork trotters, pork knuckles, and jelly.How can I eat on this big table?My mother, you are exaggerating too much, do we still have food after the Chinese New Year?Speechless.

Yun Song and Yuan Qingyun were also taken aback when they came in, "Sister-in-law, why do you get these old dishes? How can you eat them? You got all the delicious food for a year, right?"

"Brother Yuan, this is the first time you are celebrating the New Year at our house, so you have to focus on it. Come on, sit down and eat." Mrs. Fang beckoned everyone to sit down, and then came back with a jug of wine.Pour wine for both Yun Song and Yuan Qingyun, "Brother Yuan, let Yun Song drink more with you."

Everyone happily ate the most beautiful New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Song and Yuan Qingyun drank a little too much, they went to the East Wing to lie down after eating, Da Lang and the others helped clear the table.After Fang cleaned the bowls and chopsticks, he asked Da Lang to fry the melon seeds and started chopping the stuffing himself.The dumpling stuffing tonight is the same as cabbage and radish. Radish is also called radish, which means blessing.The radishes have long been shredded with a splint, blanched and frozen outside, the cabbage must be chopped fresh, and the meat must also be chopped fresh.Xiaosan saw that his mother was very tired chopping the stuffing, so he came to help. He was very strong, and it didn't take much effort to chop the stuffing, and it didn't take long.

Mrs. Fang scooped up the white noodles, added water to revive the noodles, covered the curtain and put them on the kang to wake up for a while.Dalang and the others fried the melon seeds, put them in a dustpan, and brought them into the house.Seeing that my mother had finished making the noodles, I went to find the panel and put it on the kang, and my mother and I made dumplings together.

Yuxian found a few copper coins, as well as jujubes and sugar, eight of each, and asked Fang to secretly hug them in the dumplings.Yun Song also came back, and everyone worked together. After a short while, the three curtains were wrapped, two curtains were cooked tonight, and the remaining curtain was cooked tomorrow morning.

After the dumplings are made, everyone is together, eating melon seeds and chatting about keeping the year old.As soon as midnight arrived, firecrackers sounded outside, and Yun Song led his sons to light the firecrackers outside, crackling.In the kitchen, Fang put the dumplings into the pot, and the dumplings were floating in the water like little white geese.The water was boiled three times, and the dumplings were cooked. Fang used the fence to fish out the dumplings, and Yuxian called out, "Mother, did you earn?"

Mrs. Fang answered: "I made it, I made a lot of money!" Just as the firecrackers outside had been set off, Yun Song led his sons into the house, and Yuan Qingyun also came over.Fang left the first plate of dumplings on the pot, put a pair of chopsticks on top of the dumplings, and brought the rest into the house.

Yuxian put the crushed garlic into Qingjiang, Qingjiang is soy sauce, that's what people here call it.Then they brought garlic sauce bowls and vinegar into the house, "There is garlic sauce and vinegar, whoever likes to eat can make it himself." Everyone scooped some garlic sauce into a small plate, and then poured some vinegar.

The whole family was eating dumplings in a lively manner. Suddenly, Da Lang let something stung him, and when he spat it out, it was a copper coin. Everyone congratulated him on being able to earn money next year.Next, everyone ate things one after another, some got jujubes, some got sugar, which made everyone laugh. In order to get something to eat, everyone ate several more dumplings.

After eating the dumplings, everyone went back to the house to rest. Tonight, they couldn't take off their clothes, and couldn't put the quilts on. They could only lie down and sleep on the kang with their clothes on. fell asleep.
