Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

The Chinese New Year has a heavy weight in the hearts of the Chinese people. (Feng Wu) The strong flavor of the New Year can last from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month one year ago to the fifteenth of the first lunar month after the new year, and it will last for a long time.

No matter how poor we were in the past, we still had to grit our teeth, kill chickens and ducks, and cut off two pounds of meat to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

In the past two years, the pockets of ordinary people have gradually bulged, and even the pocket money of the Taobao boys has a few dollars in their pockets. No, as the end of the year approaches, the pocket money of the Taobao boys has been replaced by a bunch of firecrackers.

With a box of matches in his pocket, he was shouting and shouting, and the sound of firecrackers was heard one after another in the streets and alleys.

Today is New Year's Eve. The sky under the Imperial City has been filled with the smell of smoke from firecrackers since the morning, but it cannot suppress the increasingly strong smell of meat coming from the stoves in every household.

In fact, to put it bluntly, what people celebrate the New Year is about eating and drinking. Families who have worked hard for a year sit together, talk and laugh, eat and drink, and reward the hard work of the year. Although it sounds very tacky, it is a celebration of the New Year.

Isn’t this lively and festive!

The Du family is no exception. You know, Mother Du and the others have been busy in the kitchen hitting the back of their heads ever since they celebrated the New Year.

Steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed date cakes, steamed rice cakes, steamed bean buns... stewed meat, stewed chicken, stewed duck, braised pork, fried fish... these are the snacks that made an old family happy today.

In the big pot, the last braised pork stew was crispy and soft, and the heat was just right. When Du Ma saw several old men and old ladies coming out of the room, their faces looked pretty good, and the three old men were still in the mood to quarrel, and she felt

I also breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Ma shouted from the kitchen, and Sanjiang and Sanhai immediately took two firecrackers and went to the front yard to set off firecrackers. Except for the two chubby little ones, they were the only two young ones, so they had all the firecrackers setting off duties this year.

.[

Xiaoying and Huzi, wearing identical red and cotton-padded jackets, were cuddling up to their father waiting for dinner. When they saw the firecrackers Sanjiang and the others were holding, before Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu came to their senses,

The two little monkeys ran out early, chattering and haggling, wanting to try lighting a firecracker themselves, and followed suit behind Sanjiang and Sanhai.

These two little boys have been crazy happy these days. They have delicious food and beautiful new clothes to wear all day long. The most important thing is that they have never broken a small firecracker in their pockets these days. This makes them carry

The little leather monkey with a wild "nature" has its head almost raised to the sky.

In the past six months, Sanjiang and Sanhai have matured a lot. A few days ago, they received New Year's money in advance from their two uncles, Du Qinghe and Du Qingshan. After the winter vacation, they actually took two trains and earned two

Get your hard-earned money back.

With the money, the two of them borrowed a minivan from Guo Xiaohai and called Zhao Weiqing. At the end of the year, the three and a half of them went to the suburbs to buy Spring Festival couplets and New Year paintings and fireworks.

Fortunately, the three of them are tall and strong, and they have developed a toughness in the army compound, so they didn't encounter anyone looking for trouble. In order to earn some pocket money, these three fourteen-year-old and fifteen-year-old boys are said to be very good at pulling off faces.

Come here, although this is your first time doing business, the stall is very prosperous.

The three of them worked hard from dawn to dusk for less than half a month. No one asked them how much they made, but this year they didn't have to buy any more fireworks at home. When they borrowed a car from Guo Xiaohai, they generously agreed, and they got it right.

Even Xiaoying and Huzi have taken advantage of it. There is no shortage of little ones these days. In Hu Tianshu's words, the two little monkeys are typically mothers if they have "milks", just like Sanjiang and Sanhai.

Very affectionate.

There is no child who doesn't like to set off firecrackers. Even though Yingzi is usually quiet and polite, when he saw his two brothers running out, he couldn't help but take a cautious look at Meng Dezhu's face. This sensible little girl didn't dare to let go.

A lot.

Meng Dezhu waved his hand at Yingzi in a funny manner. The little girl in a goose-yellow down jacket disappeared in an instant, and her two thin braids flew up.

Zhang Zhe and Du Wendong are two chubby little guys. Despite their young age, they are very good-natured and are not afraid of the sound of firecrackers! They wiggle their little buttocks and move their fat legs upside down, and they look like they are fat.

Like a penguin, he was shouting and anxious to watch the firecrackers set off.

Guo Xiaohai and Zhai Yaoting were still a bit childish. The two of them looked funny. They stepped up with their long legs and blocked the door. Each of them happened to clamp one of them with their legs. The little fat guys were clamped by their long legs, just like silkworm chrysalises wrapped in silkworm cocoons.

As if unable to move.

Rushing left and right, their little faces turned red, they broke out in sweat, but they didn't break free. They looked around aggrievedly, and even Sister Ya'er didn't help them, covering her mouth and laughing, and the two chubby little ones sniffed and squinted.

She was as deflated as a little duck, her eyes were watery, and she was about to cry.

Guo Xiaohai and Zhai Yaoting looked down and said, Ouch, are the two little ancestors about to cry? They laughed twice, and without waiting for the old ladies to scold them, each of them quickly picked up one, put it directly on their necks, and carried the two little meat balls to the front yard.

Listen to the excitement.

From a distance, you can hear the laughter of the two chubby little ones coming from the yard. These two chubby little ones are so sweet!

In the front yard, the crackling of firecrackers finished, and the dining tables lined up in the bright living room were also filled with dishes.[

This year is truly a reunion year for the two families. They have never been together like this before. Sixty or seventy people, old and young, were divided into four tables before they sat down.

The dinner table is stacked with plates, bowls and plates, fried, fried, simmered and stewed. The eighteen martial arts skills that Du Ma and the others have honed in the kitchen are all reflected in the food on the table.

Although the small episode of Zhai Yaoyang's divorce first and then divorce caused some depression between Grandpa Zhai and Grandma Zhai, but fortunately it did not affect the mood of the New Year. Because of the excitement, I toasted to change the cup, Grandpa Zhai

I even drank two more glasses of rice wine.

Especially the mixed mushroom hot pot dish on every table, I don’t know how to season the buds. One bite can make your eyebrows fall off. Grandpa Zhai is not very eye-catching and does not recognize those gray wild mushrooms.

But you know what you are talking about. These fungi have thick flesh and a fresh and mellow aroma. In a word, they are delicious!

Not to mention Grandpa Zhai, even Mr. Meng, an authentic old mountain man, can taste a few fungi in his mouth. There are hericium, morel, and seemingly bamboo shoots. Mr. Meng's food is particularly delicious.

, although this wild mountain mushroom looks inconspicuous, it is a real delicacy unique to the mountains. It is much more precious than the abalone, ginseng and shark fin eaten by the rich.

I just don’t know where the Du family got these wild mushrooms that are only found all over the world? I didn’t know that these mushrooms can be made into vegetarian hot pot so delicious! Of course, Mr. Meng just muttered, and the spoon in his hand was not delayed at all!

Grandpa Du and the others and Zhai Yaohui are well-informed, but they are short-tongued. Although they muttered Ya'er a few words in their hearts, they should eat what they should eat quickly.

Ever since Ya'er told Zhai Yaohui about the secret of space, she would occasionally take some fresh fruits to eat. Zhai Yaohui strictly prohibited it at first, fearing that his little daughter-in-law would be like a transformed thing and one day she would suddenly transform into herself.

Gone.

But there is an old saying that habits become natural. Slowly, Zhai Yaohui's psychological tolerance became higher and higher. Seeing that Ya'er had no special reaction, and Ya'er was pregnant, he could only turn a blind eye.

.

In the winter in the north, there are indeed no fresh fruits except apples and oranges. Zhai Yaohui certainly hopes that his daughter-in-law will eat more fresh fruits to keep herself juicy, crispy, and tender. Although her daughter-in-law

There is a special condition in the woman's belly. Zhai Yaohui can see and touch it, but can't eat it. However, touching and touching the smooth fleshy skin can also satisfy the old man's desire to indulge in meat.

Of course, Ya'er didn't know Zhai Yaohui's little plans. However, the young couple often ate it secretly at night.

Of course, there was no excuse to bring out some fresh fruits, so the two of them felt guilty when they ate them secretly! Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Ya'er used Zhai Yaohui's name to get a lot of wild products. Who let Zhai Yaohui have comrades from all over the world?

Seeing the table full of fat chickens and ducks, everyone was particularly fond of those mountain-flavored dishes, and Ya'er felt a sense of accomplishment. Everyone had the space to turn their heads around, and it was so prosperous that they ate one by themselves.

You have to sneak and touch fruits, and you have to use Zhai Yaohui's name to get some mountain products, which is too cowardly.

On the other hand, Professor Stephen, Du Qinghe and Du Qingshan, who grew up abroad, first noticed that the hot pot was dusty, so they were hesitant and slowed down their movements. When they saw everyone stretching their spoons towards the hot pot, they realized it later.

came back to his senses.

Professor Stephen and Grandpa Du were at the same table, and Grandpa Du specially helped to fill a small bowl, but Du Qinghe, his nephews and his nephews did not let them. They just barely tasted the taste, and the aftertaste was fragrant, and their tongues were quick.

It fell out, and the bottom of the pot soon became empty.

Du Ma and the others at the table next to them were almost stunned. Du Qinghe and Du Qingshan were two years younger than their peers Du Jianshe. In the eyes of Du Ma and their sisters-in-law, they were no worse than Du Haoyu and the others. They were so polite as usual.

The two polite people just had to scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon, and they didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Oops, okay, you two don’t scratch the bottom of the pot. If you like it, I’ll cook it for you tonight. Mother Du said, and quickly stood up and brought her share from the table over. It’s better not to let others eat during the Chinese New Year.

, but the housewife’s dereliction of duty.

Du Qingshan, a country bumpkin from abroad, was lucky enough to be teased by Du Ma, the eldest sister-in-law. Du Qinghe's temperament was reserved and subtle, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on his handsome and handsome face. It was the first time he had lost his composure.

!

Sure enough, the food was still very popular. Guo Xiaohai and Zhai Yaoting were the worst, they deliberately rushed to eat, and Du Qinghe was unknowingly led astray. In the end, Du's mother quickly told the truth.

No one noticed that Professor Stephen, who was sitting at the main table, raised the corners of his mouth that were always tense, and the spoon suddenly moved three minutes faster. Because the taste in the mouth was so mellow, the foreign professor just now was reluctant to part with it.

Drink, but savor slowly. Sure enough, Chinese food is as broad and profound as Chinese traditional culture.

Speaking of Du Ma, she came over to deliver the food. Seeing that the tips of Du Qinghe's ears were blushing with embarrassment, knowing that the two of them were embarrassed, she quickly added that during the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law would try her best to let you two eat all the home-cooked dishes that you have never eaten abroad. Today.

For the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Ya'er is going to make some kind of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Just look at the tricks she has prepared, you two will be able to save some food for a while!

As Du Ma said this, she glared at her precious girl with a feigned ferocity! To make a dish, this girl had to go to great lengths to prepare it since yesterday. Even the wine jar used to simmer the dish was unknown to the old man.

Where did I get a Shaoxing wine jar with authentic flower carvings specially brought back for her? Only old men are willing to accompany this girl!

Ya'er giggled twice at Ma Du. He said casually that day, who made the old men so excited that they brought back two jars of authentic Shaoxing flower carvings the next day? Wasn't he riding a tiger and unable to get off? He had never done anything like this in his life.

Famous dishes, but there are recipes, just bite the bullet and draw the gourds.

Although after they found out about the pregnancy, the old man and the old lady had already promised to save it until next year's New Year's Eve dinner. But they all agreed, and Ya'er certainly didn't want the old man to let the gluttons out of his belly go to waste.

As soon as Du Ma finished speaking, Guo Xiaohai blinked and almost stood up, Ya'er, you can still be a Buddha and jump over the wall?

The three characters "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" caused another sensation in the catering industry a few years ago! Guo Xiaohai also has a restaurant, so of course he has to pay more attention to these than others. If the ingredients of this dish were not rare and ordinary people could not afford it, Guo Xiaohai would have been wondering.

Today I am looking for some chefs of southern cuisine, especially chefs who can make this dish. But I didn’t expect that my Ya’er would have to show off her skills for today’s New Year’s Eve dinner!

What on earth is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall? The only one here who has actually tasted it is Zhai Xuewen. He tasted it by chance when he was inspecting the South. But everyone has heard about this dish, and it is said that this dish almost covers all the dishes.

All the delicacies in the world.

Zhai Yaonan was the most exaggerated. Looking at Ya'er's eyes shining brightly, I almost fell into disbelief. How could Ya'er know everything!

The reaction of Guo Xiaohai and Zhai Yaonan greatly increased the interest of Du Qinghe and others. Why would the name of this dish be so strange?

As the name suggests, it is so delicious that even the vegetarian Buddha climbed over the wall to eat it. Guo Xiaohai explained it very simply, but the image was so apt that he almost stopped salivating when he said it!

At the main table above the kang, Grandpa Du was also very interested in seeing Professor Stephen, and even explained with gestures and words. Of course, he was just learning and selling, and it was what Ya'er told him that day. Grandpa Li and the others occasionally

Say two sentences, one is translation and the other is supplement.

In short, because of Ma Du's casual words, everyone in the living room seemed to have their appetites drawn away by the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall at the New Year's Eve dinner, which made Ya'er extremely stressed.

Under the dinner table, Zhai Yaohui stroked his wife's belly with one hand, picked up a few chopsticks of vegetables with the other hand, and tried hard to feed Ya'er well. If Ya'er hadn't said it was just a waste of time, Zhai Yaohui would have been reluctant to do so.

Let my little daughter-in-law put in the effort.

In the living room, between cups and cups, "Buddha jumps over the wall" has become a high-frequency word. Fortunately, lunch is almost done, otherwise, many people might be hungry before the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening!

Although no one had tried it, the charm of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall seemed to have captured everyone's appetite. As soon as the dishes and cups were removed from the dining table, Ya'er was urged to go to the kitchen to make her Buddha Jump Over the Wall.

The second aunt of the Zhai family quickly called out to Zhai Yaonan who was wiping the dining table carelessly. "Yaonan, you should follow Ya'er and have a look! Otherwise, in the future, you won't even know how to cook noodles. Let's see what you do after you get married!"

Even if the second aunt of the Zhai family didn't say anything, Zhai Yaonan would not miss such a lively event. Otherwise, the rag in her hand would be like a broom? Why don't you want to hurry up and watch the fun!

But when her mother said this and Zhai Yaoting winked at her, Zhai Yaonan was angry and embarrassed. She couldn't help but stamp her feet and squealed, "Mom, I told you, I don't have a date!"

Okay, okay, you didn’t talk about it! The second aunt of the Zhai family said casually, obviously not as knowledgeable as Zhai Yaonan.

How can I not know the temper of my daughter who I raised? The second aunt of the Zhai family did not expect that she could easily pry open her daughter's mouth. She had already left this matter to Ya'er!

Zhai Yaonan was not the only one who planned to watch the excitement. Even Guo Xiaohai and Zhai Yaoting were very curious. Several old men also pretended to sneak to the kitchen with their hands behind their backs, specially coming to watch the excitement.

For a moment, almost everyone gathered in the kitchen, as if they were eating after a meal. Fortunately, because there are many people in the family, the kitchen is also big, and there are two large rooms. Even if people come to watch the fun and squeeze in, there is still room to prepare.

Other meals.

Fortunately, there are five stoves in the kitchen, large and small. Ya'er has already put on an apron, and one person can occupy two stoves. For a family of sixty or seventy, even if each person has a small bowl, two jars of twenty kilograms of wine

The pot may not be divided enough, so Ya'er plans to start cooking on both stoves at the same time.

Yesterday afternoon, all the ingredients Ya'er that should be processed in advance had been processed. In the morning, Du Ma and the others also helped to process some of them. On the long table, the dishes and bowls of ingredients were almost all

It's half-finished.

The family was getting ready to watch Ya'er show off her cooking skills when they saw Ya'er moving her lips nimbly. Du Ma and the other experts on the stove were responsible for steaming, frying, and stir-frying. Finally,

, put the processed ingredients into the wine jar one by one, finally seal it with lotus leaves, fasten it with a bowl, and put it on the charcoal stove with low heat.

Just looking at the dozens of side dishes, I didn't even see any clues when I saw Ya'er starting to pick off her apron.

Not to mention the onlookers who didn't believe it, even Ma Du, who had done the trick just now, was also doubtful. This dish is very laborious, because there are so many ways to prepare it, and it seems that it is just that much when it is really busy.

Du Ma pointed to the wine jar on the charcoal stove, Ya'er, is that good?

Well, that’s it! Just simmer it on low heat for two hours and then... simmer it for more than an hour! Just in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening!

Ya'er said it lightly. Grandpa Du heard Ya'er talk so much that day and obviously didn't believe it. It can be delicious just like this!

Ya'er smiled brightly, "Grandpa, don't worry! They are all good things. Even if they are stewed casually, they are still more delicious than Chinese cabbage. No matter how good your cooking skills are, Chinese cabbage will not taste like meat when stewed. No matter how good your cooking skills are, it will not taste meaty.

Worse, meat can’t produce the flavor of radish when stewed! A clever woman can’t make rice out of rice, but with meat, a clumsy woman can still make something delicious.

When Grandpa Du heard that it was really the case, it was all good stuff, how could it not be delicious? Even Guo Xiaohai couldn't help but muttered, his expectations were too much. It looked easy, but it was all good ingredients.

!

There was no excitement to see. The old man and the others were cleared out by Du Ma and the others who were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Ya'er was carrying a baby in her belly, and Ya'er was just talking about Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Ya'er was even more reluctant to let Ya'er help. Zhai Yaonan, on the other hand, became busier with more help, so the two only girls in the family were kicked out.

During the Chinese New Year, all that's left is eating and drinking. We had lunch early, Ya'er had been busy in the kitchen for a while, and the winter sun had just set slightly to the west.

Zhai Yaonan suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched a handful of ya'er. Under the golden winter sun, the sales photo was as fair and delicate as mutton-fat white jade. It really looked like skin. Zhai Yaonan couldn't help but cursed in his heart. His second brother was unlucky.

.

Ya'er didn't take it seriously either. Seeing that the two of them were finally at the end, she bared her teeth and shook Zhai Yaonan's arm, "Sister Yaonan, are you not angry with me anymore? I didn't say anything on purpose in the morning."

!

Huh! Zhai Yaonan suddenly remembered that there was still this problem, and turned his head arrogantly, but did not shake Ya'er's arm. He curled his lips and replied pretending to be angry, "Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, how dare I"

I'm angry with you!

With a teasing voice, Ya'er's face turned red and she rubbed Zhai Yaonan to make trouble.

The baby in his belly was his little nephew. Zhai Yaonan knew that his hands and feet were not strong, so he could not dare to compete with Ya'er. Unknowingly, the two of them walked into Zhai Nainai's room.

When Zhai Yaonan came to his senses, the two of them were sitting on the bed, head to head, with a small quilt covering their legs, eating nuts.

Ya'er came closer to Zhai Yaonan, suddenly gave it a slight squeeze, and pretended to be curious and said, "Sister Yaonan, anyway, the brother-in-law-to-be has already passed away, so just tell me, I will investigate for you first!"

Zhai Yaonan is not stupid. One look at Ya'er's winking look and he knew that he was asking for information for his parents. However, Zhai Yaonan was not coy about his temper. Although he was stubborn and refused to admit it in front of the second aunt of the Zhai family,

She also expected Ya'er to help her analyze it!

Besides, Zhai Yaonan knows best that Ya'er's amulet is useful, and he also hopes that Ya'er can help him break through the layers of household paper. It can be said that the two sisters hit it off immediately.

Zhai Yaonan winked at Ya'er, and suddenly crawled to the door. Seeing that no one was eavesdropping, he crawled back again. His dazzling red phoenix eyes were a little erratic, and his wheat-colored complexion

He also added a hint of crimson, and said in a low voice, "You know me too!"

No matter how generous a girl is, when she talks about the person she likes, she will unconsciously reveal a bit of the shyness of a little daughter, and Zhai Yaonan is no exception. Thanks to Ya'er's keen hearing, she can hear this vaguely clearly.

Do I know? Ya'er is a little confused. My classmates and Sister Yaonan are not even close to each other, but among the people I know, except for the grandchildren of the old man's family, Zhao Lei and the others in the compound, only Feng Kai is left.

.

Of course, there is a slight possibility for my brother Xiao Hai. But Ya'er really wants to do it, but the two of them often quarrel, but they don't call at all.

After such elimination, Ya'er suddenly raised her voice and said in disbelief, it couldn't be Brother Feng Kai, right?

Zhai Yaonan almost choked on the nuts in his mouth. He was like a fried cat with its tail stepped on. He was anxious and angry. Of course not, how could it be Brother Feng Kai! Forget it, I won’t bear with you, it was you that day

I was the officiant at my second brother's wedding!

The author has something to say: Yesterday I spent a day playing with an old classmate who traveled with me, and fell asleep while coding in the middle of the night.

I just woke up from a sleepy sleep, hurry up and update! I can still fall asleep again!`′
