The leisurely life of rebirth

"Then let's eat whatever we want, grandma!" Fang Monan joked with a smile. "How about fancy porridge! It's the best to eat for health in winter."

"No problem, I'll listen to you." Grandma smiled and waved.

Fang Monan got up and went to the big kitchen down the mountain to make dinner, which consisted of jujubes, red beans, sago, rice, oats, and porridge. Each type of rice had to be soaked for about 2 hours, so that it would taste soft and sweet.

Feel. Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour.

Very good!

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, sweeping the ashes is a thorough cleaning. As the saying goes: "Resigning from the stove, the New Year is coming." After celebrating the New Year's Day and offering sacrifices to the stove, the first important thing to do is to clean up the ashes. In terms of time, it can start from the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Among the three days from the 4th to the 26th, choose a warm and sunny day.[

Because in a year, due to various taboos and habits, thorough cleaning is rarely carried out, so on the day of sweeping the dust, the whole family works together to move everything that can be moved, or that has not been moved due to taboos

Everything, including tables, chairs, benches, boxes and clothes, were all moved, some to the yard, and some to the middle of the house. The whole family swept and wiped the house up and down, inside and out,

Clean it thoroughly and it will be clean.

If there is dirt on tables, chairs, benches or pots and pans, wash them with alkaline water to make them look brand new.

Finally, pick up the dust with a dustpan and pour it into the ditch at the end of the village or on the roadside, and let the water wash it away. The significance of sweeping the dust is not only for cleanliness, but also heralds the end of a year of bad luck, distress and poverty.

Like dust, sweep it away and throw it away to welcome the new year.

The custom of sweeping dust has been around for a long time and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Over the years, the custom of sweeping dust has been gradually faded, but the custom of sweeping dust has been passed down from generation to generation. Even in the new millennium, people still enjoy it. Not only in rural areas, but also in government agencies.

, factories and mines, offices and workshops should also be cleaned during the Spring Festival, and the doors should be wiped clean to identify people.

At this time, you will feel the disadvantages of a big house. Cleaning every year is really tiring! Fang Monan directly used the cleaning spell this year, and finally it came into use. Grandma moved all the people away. Grandma saw the great shift of the universe.

I was stunned. In fact, the room was cleaned almost every day and was not too dirty. It was just the Chinese New Year! It was cleaned according to custom.

It was the first time that grandma watched her granddaughter use magic so clearly, and she was even more excited than her granddaughter.

"Phew! This is the most practical one." Grandma said with a smile. "With a wave of your hand, if we do it, we probably won't be able to finish it in a day."

"whee……"

It’s almost time to celebrate the New Year. Everyone is busy preparing New Year’s goods, not to mention food. This year, Fang Monan and the others will kill the New Year pig on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to experience a strong sense of nostalgia.

Killing pigs during the New Year is a traditional folk custom, also known as "killing pigs during the New Year." In the past, killing pigs during the New Year was considered a big event for farmers. In the twelfth lunar month, most families will kill pigs to make dumplings for the New Year and prepare meat for cooking.

, there is a nursery rhyme that says, "Children, don't cry, pigs will be killed when the twelfth lunar month comes." This reflects to a certain extent people's desire to kill pigs for the New Year and eat their meat.

Fang Monan doesn't remember how he killed the New Year pigs when he was a child. His grandma had no land to raise pigs. And at that time, she was poor, so her aunt's pigs were exchanged for money near the New Year, so not many of them could be eaten.

This year is about Dashan, Wang Jiabao and Chang Jiuchun. The three 'butchers' kill pigs without Fang Monan waving his hands. The three of them are quite solemn and grand about "killing pigs for the New Year". They even burn incense and set off firecrackers.

,…

Although Fang Monan was not a child, he still watched the three of them "killing the New Year pig" with great interest. The big black pig's squealing was really miserable, but Guan Dashan also did it neatly and killed him with one knife. The pig's number was reduced.

pain.

"Da Shan, that's a good technique! It looks like he's the best swordsman in the village." Grandma said with a smile. "Look, not only does it work cleanly and quickly, but it also doesn't "waste" or waste useful things, and the pig's meat is

The heads, hooves, viscera, blood, bones and other parts are neatly packed and sorted into categories for their own use."

Following his grandma's explanation, Guan Dashan neatly dismembered a fat pig weighing nearly 200 kilograms.

Several grown men separated the pork neatly one by one, including chopped dumpling fillings, fried meatballs, fried crispy pork, steamed pork with rice flour, braised pig heads, boiled pork skin jelly, braised pork elbows, etc., stuffed blood sausage,

Rice rolls, of course, include pork ribs and big bones.

"I'm back." Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, a clear, sweet and familiar voice.

"Oh...where did this fashionable girl come from?" Aunt Lian looked at the girl standing not far away and smiled, "Tsk...Qiu Lian has become almost unrecognizable to me."

What a modern girl. "You came just in time, we are killing the New Year pig!" Fang Monan waved to her.[

"Hehe... It's better to come early than to come by chance." Qiu Lian said with a smile, "I'll go change my clothes later."

Qiu Lian carried a simple luggage bag in her hand and entered her room, which was as spotless as when she left. She quickly changed into home clothes and came out to help.

"Killing the New Year pig is a big event in our Northeastern farmers, because most people only do it once or twice a year, which is almost like a festival." Qiu Lian put on regular clothes and walked over.

"Come on...Qiu Lian, let me introduce you." Aunt Lian smiled and introduced Vera and Vikara to each other.

We have heard about each other for a long time, but we just met today. After everyone exchanged greetings, they started to work.

Fang Monan selected a dozen pieces of pork belly with skin and cooked them together with pork bones. He filled a large pot full of water and put star anise, pepper, cloves and other aniseed ingredients into the pot, tangerine peel, astragalus, and wolfberry.

"Oh! This pot is bigger than the pots used in our team during the big pot meal period." Guan Dashan said with a smile.

"Our family is full of meat tigers, these will be enough to eat." While Fang Monan was talking, Xiao Hui roared unwillingly.

"I forgot about you! You are the meat tigers!" Fang Monan smiled and pointed at Big Leaf and the three of them.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Soon the strong aroma of meat filled the air, and everyone was sniffing their noses. It was so fragrant.

Fang Monan is responsible for stuffing blood sausage. Blood sausage is a traditional food of the Xibe people. Wash the pig intestines with salt and set aside for use. Wash the glutinous rice that has been soaked in water for about three hours and mix it with fresh pig blood.

Then mix the minced meat, pepper, minced garlic, salt and chopped green onion, and stuff it into the large intestine. After stuffing it tightly, tie the two ends with twine. Then put the stuffed sausage into a steamer and steam it for about fifty minutes, then slice it into pieces.

plate.

While Fang Monan was making blood sausage, three grown men began to chop the fillings for the croquettes and slice the crispy meat.

First fry the tofu, then fry the sweet potato balls and then fry the twists!

The fried meatballs are divided into vegetarian meatballs and meatballs. First fry the vegetarian meatballs, grate carrots and white radish into shreds, add mung bean flour, an appropriate amount of salt, onions, ginger, garlic and thirteen spices. Form into meatballs and put them into a hot oil pan.

.

For meatballs, chop the meat into small pieces, then add an appropriate amount of eggs, mix with various condiments, add starch, mix well and have a certain stickiness, then hold the meat filling with your hands and pinch it tightly, between your fingers.

Naturally, the meat filling is exposed, put it in a pan and fry it, and it becomes meatballs.

A group of greedy cats ate while frying. After the frying was finished, they almost finished eating. They then ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles to deal with the meal, and then continued their work.

It took me a whole afternoon to finish frying all the things that needed to be fried. The rest are freshly cooked and eaten first, which tastes better.

The meat and big bones are also cooked. Tear off the meat from the big bones with your hands, add some chopped green onion, coriander, and vinegar and let it cool.

Take advantage of the heat of the pot just after taking out the large pieces of pork belly with skin, brush it with soy sauce, color it, and make fermented bean curd meat. The taste is: sweet and salty, fat but not greasy, and has a poor aftertaste.

For meat tigers, it is absolutely delicious.

Although the preparation of blood enema is simple, slice it and eat it hot. It has a rich flavor, oily but not greasy, unique taste, delicious and delicious.[

The white meat is fat but not greasy, the meat is rotten and mellow, the blood sausage is bright, delicious and tender; it is paired with condiments such as chive flowers, fermented bean curd, chili oil, garlic paste, etc., to make it more mellow, tender and refreshing.

Two dishes to go with the wine, the weather is behaving beautifully, snowflakes are falling, green ants’ newly fermented wine, and a small red clay stove. It’s snowing in the evening, can I have a drink?

Have a drink and enjoy yourself!

Of course, after killing the pig, there is no need to prepare a table full of pig-killing dishes to reward everyone.

After dinner, I was covered in oil fumes and the smell of chopped green onions. I couldn't go to bed without taking a shower. I'll continue working tomorrow, I'm so tired during the Chinese New Year!

Make noodles on the twenty-sixth day, steam buns on the twenty-seventh day, and the most important thing is the steamed jujube flower cake, which is used to offer incense. There are many types of offerings, including family offerings, heaven and earth offerings, etc., and they vary in size.

First, jujube cake is indispensable.

The steamer is the busiest, and the labor intensity is high, especially kneading the dough is even more tiring. The most important thing on the farm is strong people. Kneading the dough is definitely better than the other, and the dough is smooth.

And slippery.

Grandma smiled while steaming, "At that time, when it was time to steam the children at the end of the year, the housewives in the neighborhood were willing to help each other. Whoever opened the meal first would help the other first. Even the children and the elderly would help each other.

Put it to use "insertion"

Dates; after the gourd is steamed, the neighbors will look at each other to see if the gourd smiles well. If the gourd is made by the new daughter-in-law and the smile is good, people will praise her for her skill, and the new daughter-in-law will be beautiful.

You have to close your mouth.

"

"People are lazy nowadays and can buy everything on the street. I think steaming it yourself is the most satisfying and tastes best!" Mr. Lin said with a smile.

"Oh! Grandpa, I believe this too." Fang Monan said playfully, "You are a materialist."

"With a little magic stick like you, I can still be materialistic." Mr. Lin joked with a smile.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

With more people and more strength, we managed to steam the steamed buns before dark. Twenty-eight Guan Dashan and Wang Jiabao were on holiday. Aunt Lian settled their wages and gave them a big red envelope. The red envelope was the total salary for a year.

Take home the fried things, the steamed buns, and the New Year's goods bought by grandma.

"This is too much! How can we take it back?" Guan Dashan looked at the small mountainous thing and scratched his head.

The fat man smiled and said, "It's okay! The convoy's car is heading south and will give you a ride. That's it."

"Yes! Yes!" Grandma heard and then prepared New Year's goods for the two of them.

Of course, grandma will never forget to give benefits to the employees of restaurants and old houses.
