portable space

Xiao Jin came down and lived in the backyard. Zhang Taiping made a nest on the roof with wooden boards to keep out the wind and rain. There was no need for anyone to feed him. He could hunt by himself and sometimes bring back some prey for his master.

. When he has nothing to do, he stands on the roof with his eyes closed to relax and bask in the sun. This has become a symbol of Zhang Taiping’s family.

Three days later, Zhang Taiping looked at the wine placed in the space. After almost three months of brewing in the space, it had been brewed successfully.

Zhang Taiping filtered out the impurities in the wine, leaving only the clear and translucent wine. It tasted really good. It was much better than what he drank at the village chief's house. The products produced by the space must be high-quality. Put some mud on the mouth of the jar.

Seal it and prepare to put it in the cellar.

Zhang Taiping went down to the cellar, and Cai Yazhi was greeting her from above. "What's the blood medicine?" He shouted from below, and she put it down with a rope. There was no dirt in the cellar, it was very clean, the space was not small, it was about the size of a house, and the temperature was

It was also much warmer than outside. What surprised Zhang Taiping was that there were more than a dozen wine jars inside, including

The three were opened separately. The weight was quite heavy, so they must still contain wine, and the mud seal was well sealed without any damage. It didn’t take much to think about it to know that this was either brewed by the old man, or by Zhang Dashuai’s deceased father.

It was brewed, but no one cared about it after that. Now it has been over ten years, and it can be considered an old wine.

Wine is sealed tightly with mud, so you don't have to worry about it deteriorating over time. Instead, it will become more fragrant and mellow over time. A ten-year-old wine is already a great wine in the outside world, but I don't know how good it is.

Zhang Taiping took the fruit wine he brewed out of the space and placed it in the cellar. He shouted to Cai Yazhi above: "If you want to put something in the cellar, put it in a bag and slowly put it down. I will take it from below."

Cai Yazhi and the other three were busy for a while, putting the things to be placed in the cellar into bags and putting them down. Zhang Taiping caught them and found some radish, cabbage, sweet potatoes and the like. They placed them in a corner and filled the jar.

The wine was served to the top.

Cai Yazhi was curious as to why Zhang Taiping came up with a jar of wine. In the past few years, Zhang Taiping had not cared about family affairs, and no one had ever gone down to the cellar. No one knew what was in it.

Zhang Taiping said: "There are more than a dozen jars of wine down there. They may be a little old, so I picked up a jar to see how it goes."

Fan Ming immediately instigated him to open it and take a look. Zhang Taiping immediately opened the mud seal and opened the kraft paper. A rich and unusual aroma was inhaled straight down his nose. The four of them sniffed unconsciously.

A thin mist formed on the mouth of the wine jar. When Zhang Taiping saw this, he quickly covered the lid with kraft paper and sealed it. It would be amazing if it could dissolve the mist. Xing Rushui was also surprised. I heard that there is a kind of wine that is the best.

The wine atomizes the dragon when the cylinder is opened. As for whether such a superb wine really exists, I have never seen it and don’t know, but as long as the wine can emit mist, it is a very good wine.

Zhang Taiping carried the jar into the front room, took out a few bowls, and poured half a bowl for each person. This was fruit wine, and he was not afraid of getting used to it. He didn't know what kind of fruit it was brewed from. The color was dark red, and he poured it into

The color inside the pure white porcelain bowl is very attractive, and the mouth of the bowl is immediately filled with mist, which is hazy and obscures the wine below.

Fan Ming took a small sip first, and was relieved when he saw that the spicy taste of soju was not that of soju, but rather sweet. He took another big sip and tasted it carefully. He felt that it was mellow and long, making people have endless aftertaste. He couldn't help but smile.

He picked up the bowl and poured the remaining half of the bowl into his stomach, then extended the bowl for Zhang Taiping to pour another bowl, but he didn't realize that his little face had turned red.

Zhang Taiping looked at her little face that turned red into the sunset and didn't dare to pour more for her. As a result, she started shaking before she could say a few words. After a few moments, her eyes became blurred and she became soft. Zhang Taiping hugged her.

live.

Zhang Taiping looked ahead, but he didn't expect something happened behind him. Cai Yazhi also started to stagger. Zhang Taiping hugged him with his other arm, and his face was flushed. Zhang Taiping took a closer look and found out that he was just drunk.

Don't worry, I just sighed in my heart that this is good.

Even the force of the drink was a bit too strong. Xing Rushui drank half a bowl of water, but nothing much happened at that time. She just had a little blush on her face. Zhang Taiping handed Fan Ming to her. He held her hand and his face was as red as a baby, sleeping like a baby.

Cai Yazhi came to the bedroom and placed her on the kang.

Without the three of them, I drank and pecked a few bowls by myself. However, the two parrots who happened to come back saw me and sniffed the aroma in the air. The two parrots kept shouting "wine," next to Zhang Taiping.

liquor".

Zhang Taiping was so annoyed that he had no choice but to pour a small sip for the two guys who were about to become sperms. The two little guys lay on the edge of the bowl and drank it all in one sip.

This time it was terrible. The two drunk guys went crazy. They were thrashing around in the house and talking nonsense. They even rushed in and wandered around the backyard, which Xiao Jin had not dared to go beyond since he moved in.

A circle. It seems that it can not only strengthen the courage of people, but also the courage of birds. It's just that Xiao Jin ignored the provocation of the two parrots.

In the end, the two guys fell drunk on the fire bed and even snored when they slept. Zhang Taiping couldn't laugh or cry. Is this a parrot or a person who looks like a parrot?

Just when Zhang Taiping was about to walk out, the phone on the counter rang. Zhang Taiping looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Cai Xiaomei's mobile phone number. After she returned to school, she recharged several hundred yuan in phone bills and received a mobile phone as a gift.

Picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Where's my sister?" It was Cai Xiaomei's voice over there, and Xiang Zai's attitude towards Zhang Taiping had improved a lot.

"Drunk."

"Drunk?"

"Haha, yes, I just drank a little and got drunk. What's the matter with you?"

"Oh, I have a holiday tomorrow, so I'll go back and say something."

"Do you have a lot to bring? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Cai Xiaomei said: "No need, I didn't bring anything with me."

"Well, well, be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Cai Xiaomei was stunned while holding the phone. This was the first time she heard Zhang Taiping tell her to be careful on the road. For a moment, her chest felt like she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. There was no smell at all.

Son.

Zhang Taiping went out to the yard. Ice picks were hung on the eaves. In the first half of the day, the sun was strong and the snow he put there melted. In the second half of the day, once the sun turned west, the temperature dropped, and the freezing speed exceeded the melting speed. On the eaves,

A long ice pick will be frozen on it,

Crystal clear and can reflect various colors when facing the light. In the early years, Zhang Taiping remembered that when he was a child, children would knock down these ice picks and eat them as popsicles. But now the air pollution is serious, even in this deep mountain.

There is no such pure ice pick again.

A group of children were playing in the snow that had not yet melted away in the playground, chanting, "It's seven today, it's eight tomorrow, we'll eat Laba to celebrate the New Year."

I counted with my fingers and found that time flew by and before I knew it, it was already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow would be the day of eating Laba on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month. Living in the countryside, there was no concept of the solar calendar at all, and I didn’t even know about New Year’s Day.

When did it pass? I still have some sense of the lunar calendar.

Zhang Taiping said to himself: "It seems it's time to prepare new year's goods."

Back home in the evening, Zhang Taiping told Cai Yazhi that Cai Xiaomei would go home for the holiday tomorrow. Cai Yazhi looked very happy and gestured that she would be in time to eat Laba porridge tomorrow. In previous years, due to economic constraints, Cai Xiaomei would not go back immediately after the holiday.

Instead, we will find a tutor or tutor outside.

After years of economic relaxation, Zhang Taiping has finally come to his end. He no longer has to rush around during the holidays for a little money, so he wants to go home and spend a complete New Year. His sister no longer has to go out.

After working part-time to earn money, Cai Yazhi was certainly happy when she saw people reunited to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

In some rural areas, Laba is called "Mai Ren". In fact, this is a matter of regional naming. In fact, "Mai Ren" is something else, which is made by peeling off the skin of wheat and cooking it.

, has another name in the city - Ye Mai.

Laba is made by peeling off the corn husks and leaving only the kernels. The two methods are the same, but in recent years there are fewer people peeling off the wheat husks in the countryside. Most people peel off the corn husks and eat them, so people here also eat them.

"Laba" is called "wheat kernel", and only on the seventh and eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the corn peeled off is called "Laba".

To make Laba porridge, you must put the corn kernels in the pot and cook it the night before. This process cannot be done over high heat. You can only cook it slowly over low heat, and you have to keep adding water to it. Until the next morning, the corn kernels are cooked.

Add the ingredients when it is almost in place and no longer absorbs water. It will be ready after simmering for about two hours.

Zhang Taiping prepared two kinds of condiments, one is sweet, made of nuts and the like, including raisins, almonds, wolfberries, longans, red dates and seven or eight other kinds. It tastes a bit like eight-treasure porridge. The other pot is salty.

, filled with minced meat and various spices. But both of them contain red beans, which also match well with yellow corn kernels.

Cai Xiaomei came home after eleven o'clock and brought a small gift for everyone. The cost is not the main thing, but the thought is the main thing. Even Zhang Taiping was lucky enough to receive one. When he opened the box, it turned out to be

A pair of sunglasses made Zhang Taiping look more domineering and domineering when worn on his face. But she heard that Zhang Taiping bought a motorcycle and bought them to protect his eyes from wind and sand.

Just as the Laba was cooked through, a circle of six people sat around the Kang, each holding two bowls, one sweet and one salty. The sweet ones were dotted with various red and green ingredients.

It looks delicious even if you don’t eat it; the salty taste is mixed with some cooked minced meat and spices, making it oily but not greasy. After eating, serve it again, the sweet and delicious Laba porridge tempted everyone to control their appetites, and everyone in the end

They all lay on the kang and performed a belly-slapping show.
