No Worries about Food and Medicine

After a busy day, it was October.

In the past few days, Xin'an County has been clamoring again, and some people are surging on the street. The most lively one is the funeral paper mill and the clothes shop. Gain is today October New Year and the ghost day, which is the so-called cold clothes festival. Too.

From autumn to winter, this day symbolizes the beginning of winter. The Emperor Jingzhong and the military, military and military officials held a ceremony to welcome the winter and give clothes and robes. Regardless of the officials and the people, they returned home to set up the ceremonies, because in the afternoon, it was the time when the ghost door was opened, and the ancestors of each family had not yet been reincarnated, and they were also put on leave by the king of the House of Kings to return to the world , Enjoy offerings and money.

On this day, living people will try on new jackets to protect them from winter cold, that is, to try on winter clothes. Ghosts must also have fun with people, and naturally two new clothes must be added.

It is in the old town that the business of funeral shops has been booming since the second half of the year. The clothes and hats made of five-colored paper, the yin and quilts, or even paper carts, horses, houses and other household objects are all hot items. The craftsmanship is exquisite and lifelike, and some of them will also put a flower pressure on the five-color paper, and a quilt of cotton is sandwiched between the two layers of paper, which means that the ghosts and princes should not freeze, remembering their own good.

Although this day is a ghost festival, Yu Jinnian was not idle. It was said that "October 1, oil chirp", in addition to mourning papers for money, food is also essential. The nether land is bitter and barren, and it is also an important thing to eat fat and fat meal when the souls of the dead return to the world. Therefore, since yesterday, a bowl of noodle restaurants will be ushered in, and it will not stop until night, all come to book Deep-fried guests.

So early in the morning, Yu Jinnian got up and cooked fried carrot noodles and fried dumplings.

Wash the white radish, shave and shred it, then chop the diced, then mix in a small amount of minced meat and eggs as an adjunct. Onion and **** are all at the end, season with a little salt and mix well. Finally mix the flour and stir it into a viscous filling, so that it can be kneaded and not too dry, so that the fried dumplings will be soft and chewy.

The fried radish **** are golden and round, so cute.

Among those who came to book the food yesterday, there was a very special guest, a slim young man with a beautiful appearance and a smile on his face, wearing a very unfit gray linen cloth, and his head wrapped in the same color cloth towel. In fact, no hair was even exposed. At first glance, it looked like a beggar, but he took out a round and shiny big silver dish casually. The way was to invite Yu Jinnian to make a set of meals with his mother. He was respected in his speech. You are very polite, very gentlemanly.

Yu Jinnian was quite flattered by the experience. Because there were many customers who ordered food in these few days, he also spent a lot of money in the shop and entered less. At this time, he could not find this silver dish, so he asked the young man to wait. He quickly ran to the nearby silver shop to weigh it, and returned the silver to the copper plate.

This round trip, even though it was fast, actually wasted a lot of time, but the young man was still standing in the same place, even in the same posture, and his legs were never bent, as if it was an old monk who settled in. Seeing Yu Jinnian coming back, He nodded gently, signaling his hard work.

"No hard work, no hard work." Yu Jinnian quickly waved his hand and returned the money to him.

The young man did not accept it, and ordered Yu Jinnian to put more sugar and **** no matter what he was doing. He also helped him to buy some fruits and fruits, and said: "I'm sorry to ask my brother to go to the gate of the temple behind Fengbo Temple after noon. Under the banyan tree. Some money left is your carriage fee. "

Put sugar and **** hard, wouldn't it become a spicy and sweet dark dish? But since it was requested by the guests, he was not easy to say anything, collect money and do things for others, not to mention that this person gave money very refreshingly, and the rest was not only car and horse fees, but also enough to buy a little donkey, Yu Jinnian did not After seeing such a big silly man, he nodded in a hurry, and the young man bowed slightly to salute before leaving.

Yu Jinnian finished the batch of radish noodles, remembering the stubble, he set aside a small bowl of fillings, added two tablespoons of sugar, and adjusted the whole **** with ginger. The special "spicy radish filling" comes out.

He really didn't have the courage to imagine what it was like. He only made it with a scalp. Although it was blown up at the request of the guests, it was even more.

Turning his head and seeing Ji Hong fetching water in the courtyard, he smiled and ran out, holding his arm and saying, "A Hong!"

Ji Hong listened to the young man so sweetly, although he knew that there was fraud, but it was also very useful. Instead of piercing him immediately, he stopped the work in his hands and asked patiently, "Why?"

Yu Jinnian's eyes curled up: "I've made a new dumpling, you can try it."

The two pulled into the kitchen, Yu Jinnian sandwiched a **** sugar round to his mouth, please Ji Hong opened his mouth, he would be nervous, gloating, looking at the lively, but frightly rubbing his hands. Wait, while carefully observing Ji Hong's expression. I thought this man only frowned when he ate sweet egg custard. This time he ate such a dark round of meat, he should be a little surprised!

Unexpectedly, Ji Hong not only did not show any disgust, but even frowned, but swallowed it calmly, satisfied: "Well."

"Ah?" Yu Jinnian held his face and looked at it, then touched his neck. Instead, he said, "Just, did you eat?"

Ji Hong: "Huh?"

Yu Jinnian looked at his innocent and natural expression and muttered: "Is it because of my talents, even dark dishes can be made delicious?" He looked down at the plate of sweet meatballs, still had no courage to try, so he went back and asked Ji Hong: "Come on, what's the taste?"

"Ok."

Ji Hong did n’t even open his mouth for three hours. Yu Jinnian had just realized the strangeness of it. He was about to lie to him, and suddenly he had an extra hand around his waist, holding him tightly, and then the man bowed his head. Here comes his mouth, which cannot be overwhelmed.

"Huh? Huh? Huh!" Yu Jinnian glared at him, shut his mouth tightly, and had the momentum of "you have the ability to pry it open with a knife".

Ji Hong narrowed his eyes, squeezed it on his waist, Yu Jinnian had a pain for a while, and the closed lip gap opened a soft gap like a clam shell. (Ha ha ha ha ha this sentence is gone ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i'm not crazy ha ha ha ha ha ha ha scared ha ha ha ha imagine ha ha ha ha.) He licked along the juvenile palate, Yu Jinnian seemed to be unable to bear the intrusion, obedient Open the ground and get what you want.

Yu Jinnian folded his waist backwards, and a hand was rubbing lightly on his side waist. Although he didn't tickle, he also felt a bit of numbness in his waist, since the place where he stuck to the palm of Ji Hong You scattered, he bowed his waist and fried the meatballs for a whole morning here, and his waist was indeed a bit stiff. It was actually quite comfortable to be so fooled.

In order to meet the festival, Xu Shitian ’s fairy officials suddenly became much colder today, and the kitchen became even more misty, and the figures of the two were also blurred. Yu Jinnian was made like a cat with an open belly, and he relaxed his alertness comfortably. A foreign object in the entanglement room was suddenly pushed into his mouth. He realized what it was, and he quickly closed his teeth. He didn't expect to bite anyone, but ruined himself. He took a bite and swallowed the sweet carrot ball.

"..." Suddenly a layer of water mist cast on his eyes, wetly stored in his orbit.

The young man ’s eyes are long and narrow, full of roundness, easy to give people an innocent feeling, and his age is about to break away from the immature, but slightly less stable, so even if his eyes are wet, it seems to be washed by the rain In general, I don't feel pretentious, but people think he is really painful.

Ji Hongwei lifted his chin and said, "Open your mouth to show me."

Yu Jinnian opened his mouth, pointing in the direction of the pain, and vaguely asked him if he had bitten it.

There was indeed a small red dot on the pink and soft tongue. Ji Hong nodded pitifully. Seeing that the teenager was limping down, he was tied to the crab with claws and dancing claws. Chai Dao: "Bad water."

Yu Jinnian covered her mouth and said with a big tongue: "I'm not missing!"

Ji Hong understood it miraculously and nodded slightly: "Naturally, I didn't eat it, but I pressed it under my tongue. Is it delicious?"

Yu Jinnian bit his tongue and swallowed it as soon as he was excited. The ghost knew it was not good. He was afraid that Ji Hong would excuse him again. He quickly reached out and put away the dish of dark radish meatballs. He eats. Ji Hong picked up one and watched Yu Jinnian cook while eating.

The offerings for the sacrifices of the ancestors are also divided into large and small ceremonies. The officials and dignitaries of the princes and the wealthy men cook pigs to sacrifice sheep, travel by horses and horses, and sweep the tombs. Bring a fried fish, a bowl of buckwheat noodles that is really poor can be sacrificed to the grave, all look at the heart.

Because the mysterious guest shot quite generously, and besides the sugar ginger, he had no other harsh requirements for serving. Instead, Yu Jinnian became more attentive, and fried a fish with him, made a bowl of braised pork, and ordinary vegetarian dishes such as greens, tofu, and peanuts, and then took two big buns from his steamer and made a whole set. Keep the food container jammed.

However, these dishes naturally meet the requirements of customers-more sugar and ginger, so only the color is bright and attractive, and the taste cannot be guaranteed.

Although Ji Hong could n’t cook, he also followed Yu Jinnian ’s fight for the past few months. He still felt a little bit of it. These **** and sugar dishes made him frown straight. Let Ghost Jun tick off your name in advance? "

Yu Jinnian listened to him and even told jokes, which was gratifying, so he said, "This is not really my fault, it was the guests themselves." Then he told Ji Hong about the mysterious youth yesterday.

When talking about things, Yu Jinnian couldn't sit back. He was inspired by the young man. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to make some sugar **** slices. In short, it was cold. This sugar **** slice can also be used as a snack. Can also relieve cold and warm the stomach.

What you need to make sugar **** slices is tender ginger. The tender **** tastes crisp and spicy but not choking. The method is similar to winter melon sugar and sugar snowballs. Take thin slices of ginger, decide whether you want to boil over water according to the taste of hot and spicy, then boil the **** slices to dry water, add sugar and marinate for half an hour, then fire to cook.

When the **** slices become translucent, and the syrup is concentrated enough to pull out the silk, quickly turn off the heat, stir fry and cool down. As the temperature cools, anti-sand gradually appears on the **** slices, and the white **** is solidified on the tender yellow **** It looks like frost and snow.

So the sugar **** slices are ready.

Ji Hong listened to the matter and was silent for a moment, thinking, "I'm afraid that there are some reasons, that person may ..."

A cold wind blew in, Ji Hong was originally standing at the door, and moved indifferently. Yu Jinnian saw that he was so cold and he did n’t hear the words, so he ran out to find Qinghuan—Qinghuan has always embroidered some craftsmanship to sell in the store—he wanted to ask for a sachet bag that he had n’t sold yet .

Qing Huan was generous and asked him to pick it up casually. Yu Jinnian chose from left to right and chose a blue silk embroidered bamboo pattern. Then he went back to the kitchen, wrapped a handful of sugar **** slices in oil paper, folded it in a sachet, tied it around Ji Hong's waist, and smiled with his head up: "So when you are cold, you can take one and eat it. ! "

Ji Hong: "..."

Although it ’s strange to wear a sugar **** tablet sachet, Ji Hong not only did not object, but also tolerantly allowed the teenager to tinker around his waist for a while to make the bamboo pattern kit strong, he only used his head to bow his head. At that time, I pinched the teenager's slender white neck.

Yu Jinnian suddenly remembered: "What did you say about that man just now?"

Ji Hong paused and said, "Nothing. When you see it, you will know if it is."

Yu Jinnian was very puzzled.

After noon, the two of them picked up the food container, bought some fruits and vegetables along the way as the guests ordered, and went to Fengbo Temple.

Just out of the south of the city, I met a rich team of horses and horses who spent a lot of money to sweep the city. Xin'an County is a heavy county in Shangjia. Therefore, even if the big family's house is just a memorial service in the suburbs, it is also a pavement. How to build a strong family.

Yu Jinnian was sandwiched between the two teams and thought to himself, this is also justifiable. After all, you are shabby, so it is not so easy to solicit business, not to mention big business.

Anyway, the business of these squires and wealthy people was not well understood by him in a shop in the shop, so he carried his food box with peace of mind and walked along with the flow of people.

At this moment, the first little guy who didn't know whose home was, wondered in a small voice: "Why did I see the second lord alone, but did not see Mrs. Li?"

Another little fellow said: "Is Mrs. Li sick? Isn't it true that after hearing the ancestor sacrifice today, Er Ye would go to the temple to burn incense and pray for his wife!"

"Where are you still sick?" Said the man in front of him with disgust, "Since the person who hit the man has an accident, first the aunt in the Sanye's house hanged, and the mistress of the third grandfather's house, Mrs. Zhao. Also ... It was really evil, and none of them escaped. It was said at that time that the man was evil and evil, but now it seems that it is true! "

"Boo boo boo!" Hearing someone quickly covered his mouth and secretly looked around. His eyes passed over Yu Jinnian and they felt that he should not be able to hear them far away. Then he turned back and whispered, " You dare to use this to break your mouth, but do n’t let a few masters hear it, or you will tear your mouth carefully! "

The two finally stopped talking.

After listening to the whole process, Yu Jinnian looked up at Ji Hong and smiled quietly. Ji Hong frowned slightly at him, meaning to tell him to be honest and not to provoke things.

"I know!" Yu Jinnian secretly said, just listen.

The Fengbo Temple was not called the Fengbo Temple, but the Aranru Temple. It was two Fan Shiba mountain wading in the water, saying that this place is beautiful and beautiful, so it widely enrolled believers, opened the temple and lectured. It is said that its scriptures are somewhat similar to the universal Dharma The difference, the specific difference is no longer known. I only know that there were many believers at that time, and this Aran Ruo Temple was also very popular.

Later, a monarch of the previous dynasty highly admired Buddhism and saw no Fans praising paganism, so he ordered the expulsion of all Fanshi and his disciples in the country. The Aranru Temple naturally ran away. After people went to the temple, I did n’t know how many years it was before they came to a local teacher. They also took a fancy to this place, and they renovated the old and damaged temples.

Because the temple was built on the mountain, looking from the highest point in the mountain, and the wind passed through, the green forest of Cangshan was like a green wave patting the shore, so it changed its name to "Fengbo Temple" and opened the altar again. .

Although today is a ghost festival, the Fengbo Temple is still full of silhouettes, and the men and women are endless. Yu Jinnian and the two are crowded between the traveling horses and horses. They easily climbed the mountain and came to the temple gate, but they came here for the first time. In the temple, I found most of the time to find the contact point. When the banyan tree outside the gate of the appointed temple was agreed, the man had been waiting under the tree for a long time.

Suddenly, Yu Jinnian was right, but he was right, but he didn't expect that he was a young monk wearing a monk's clothes. He could not bear to wrap his head when he came to order food yesterday.

He glanced sideways at Ji Hong. Ji Hong seemed to have expected it, without any surprise.

Regardless of the identity of the guests, Yu Jinnian was just a young man who used money to do things. He hurried back to his mind, handed the food box to the man, and took out a bag of sugar **** slices, saying, "Master is auspicious. I'm sorry, come On the road, I encountered a team of horses and horses. After a few hours, I went the wrong way when I went up the mountain ... This is a homemade sugar **** slice. You told you to weigh sugar and **** before. You should like this if you come. "

The young man accepted the food box and the sugar **** slices, and it was still that kind of air: "It's too heavy, I'm just a shami. Thank you boss for this trip, and thank you for your sugar **** slices."

"Yes, it should be." Yu Jinnian Ying He said.

The young man didn't seem to want to talk to them any more. After a one-handed salute, he took the food box and walked down the path on the oblique side of the gate of the temple.

Watching the young master disappear, Yu Jinnian raised his head and said to Ji Hong: "Since all have come, why not go in and burn incense to pray for the blessing of Niang?"

Ji Hong twisted his cuffs and wiped the fine sweat from his hurried walk with him, before slowly responding to the word "um".

However, the two of them had just dropped their voices, and the Hou Temple door, which had been closed for a while, was suddenly knocked open from the inside, and a young lady who described the panic was running out. She was still holding a few pages in her arms. Where did you tear it off?

She just ran out, chasing two little Sami behind her, shouting in her mouth: "Stop, stop!"

The little girl ran and shouted, "I'm looking for Chengkong Master! I'm looking for Chengkong Master!"

Later, Sha Mi said annoyed: "I told you that there is no master named Cheng Kong in our temple. But even if you are looking for someone, you can't secretly run into our Tibetan scripture pavilion to tear our Fahua Sutra!"

Another Sha Mi raised her foot to chase the girl, and shouted to her companion, "What do you say to her, go and chase back these pages of Fahua Jing, or Master will scold us!"

The girl yelled, "He is in your temple, please ask Master Chengkong to come out! He said he would exorcise my wife!"

You chased me, the three of them, and the girl was clamoring for a non-existent "Mengkong", because she flicked back and glanced at the location of the two little Sami, but she ignored the front.

It was actually heading towards Yu Jinnian!
