Portable space

Zhang Taiping stayed at home all the time and couldn't feel the passage of time, so he didn't have any special feelings for August [-]th, and even almost forgot that there was still this festival, so he didn't prepare anything.

On the contrary, Cai Xiaomei, who went to school outside, was particularly touched. She came back to celebrate the reunion festival and bought some mooncakes for the family.

Both Mr. Li and Mr. Tang were taken back by their families. This special status day in China is valued by many people, especially the elderly people who value this kind of family reunion day.

The younger generation who took the two old men away did not forget to bring mooncakes and dried fruits to Zhang Taiping's house, plus the mooncakes presented by Mu Hongyu's sister Mu Hongli when they came over, the amount was quite a lot.

There are no relatives in Zhang Taiping's family, so in previous years, no one would come to give gifts no matter what festivals, but this year, due to Zhang Taiping's reason and the old man lives at home, there are many people in the village who give gifts, and there are not many things. But expressed his mind.

Before dark, Zhang Taiping found space and entered the space once. Although it was only five or six days before the paddy field was opened in the space, five or six months had passed in the space, and no matter whether the wheat, black rice or other vegetables had matured up.

It is a troublesome thing to collect so many things outside, but there is no such trouble in the space. It only takes one thought, and all the grains of wheat and rice are peeled off, and there is no dust like outside, so you can directly collect them. Collect it into the pre-built granary.

Ripe vegetables were also harvested and some were reseeded.These vegetables will not deteriorate in the space, and will always remain fresh.I can't eat much at home, but I can supply it to the Green Treasure Pavilion in the city.Especially now that it is stored and sold until the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is definitely a matter of making money and making the store famous.

When Zhang Taiping went out from the space, he brought some black rice and that kind of purple radish.It is also good to boil some black rice porridge after dinner at night.

As time went by, instead of darkening, the sky brightened up, because of the bright moon rising in the east.I don't know whether it is a psychological reason or a natural reason. In short, I feel that the moon tonight is the roundest and brightest in a year.

The bright moonlight fell on the earth, covering everything with a silver coat.

When the moon was rising, Cai Yazhi and a group of women prepared everything, instead of inside the house, they moved two large tables and put them together in the yard.You can chat and watch the moon while eating.

Due to today's special day, Shen Qingfeng did not go out to stay with Xiao Yu'er at home, so the three of them did not spend time together, but in the small courtyard opposite, perhaps having their own warmth and reunion.

Originally, Cai Yazhi wanted to call Lu Feng over, and there were too many people, but Lu Feng didn't want to come here today, and the little girl she talked about didn't come here, and stayed at home with her mother.

The whole family sat around the table in the middle of the yard, and all kinds of small animals in the house were called out to run left and right.

There are not many dishes on the table, as long as there are various moon cakes and fruits sent by everyone.In particular, there are all kinds of fruits. Zhang Taiping took out some of the fruits in the space and set up half a table.

The arrangement of these things on the table means that they are easy to eat, and the other means that they worship the moon.

Eat moon cakes to show "reunion".Moon cakes, also known as Hu cakes, palace cakes, moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are offerings to worship the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times.According to legend, in ancient my country, emperors had the ritual system of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn.Among the folks, every Mid-Autumn Festival in August, there is also the custom of worshiping or offering sacrifices to the moon. "August and fifteen months are round, and Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes are fragrant and sweet." This well-known proverb expresses the custom of eating moon cakes in urban and rural areas on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.Mooncakes were originally used as offerings to the Moon God. Later, people gradually regarded the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation and tasting mooncakes as a symbol of family reunion. Slowly, mooncakes became a must-have gift for festivals.

The old man still attaches great importance to this kind of festival. He doesn't come to eat after dinner as usual, but sits and chats with everyone, enjoying the family happiness.

Yaya was sitting opposite the old man at the moment, peeled a grape and brought it to the old man's mouth and said, "Grandpa, eat grapes."

"Good! Good!" The old man opened his mouth with a smile, and he touched the little girl's head with his hand.

Yaya peeled another grape for herself, swallowed her mouth full of fragrant juice, pointed to the round and bright moon hanging in the sky and said, "Today's moon is so round and bright."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is the time when the moon is the brightest in all four seasons."

The little girl looked at her cheeks with her fingers and tilted her head for a while, then suddenly asked, "Grandpa, do you think there are fairy Chang'e and the jade rabbit living on the moon?"

Fan Ming, who was teasing Xiaoxi with strawberries, said, "There are no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit on the moon. You have been deceived."

Yaya glanced at Fan Ming without saying a word, and turned to look at the old man.

The old man touched the little Yaya's head lovingly, but he didn't give a direct answer. He said with a smile: "Is it true that there are fairy Chang'e and the jade rabbit? This needs to be judged by Yaya. But grandpa does have a lot of information about The story of Chang'e Fairy."

When she heard a story to listen to, Yaya's eyes lit up immediately, and she urged: "Grandpa, tell it quickly, tell it quickly!"

The old man smiled and nodded, and then began to tell Yaya the story of Chang'e Fairy.

According to legend, one year in ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky, and they scorched the earth until smoke rose, and the seas dried up, and the common people could no longer live.

This incident alarmed a hero named Hou Yi. He climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, and with all his supernatural power, he drew his divine bow and shot down nine superfluous suns in one go.

Hou Yi made a world-class miraculous skill, and was respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals came to learn art from him.The treacherous, cunning and dishonest Peng Meng also mixed in.

Before long, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang'e.Hou Yi stayed with his wife all day long except passing on his skills and hunting. People all envied this loving couple who were talented and beautiful.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and ask for enlightenment. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who was passing by, so he asked the Queen Mother for a pack of elixir.It is said that taking this medicine can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife behind, so he temporarily handed over the elixir to Chang'e for collection.Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box of her dressing table when, unexpectedly, it was seen by Peng Meng.

Three days later, when Hou Yi led his disciples to go hunting, Peng Meng, who harbored dark designs, pretended to be sick and stayed behind.

Soon after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in his hand, and Wei Chang'e handed over the elixir.

Chang'e knew that she was no match for Peng Meng, so she made a prompt decision at the critical moment, turned around to open the treasure box, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew to the sky.Because Chang'e was concerned about her husband, she flew to the moon closest to the world and became a fairy.

In the evening, when Hou Yi returned home, the maids cried and told what had happened during the day.Shocked and angry, Hou Yi drew his sword to kill the villain, but Peng Meng escaped early.Hou Yi was so angry that he beat his chest, stomped his feet and screamed.Hou Yi, distraught, looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name.At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, and there is a swaying figure that looks exactly like Chang'e.

Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, set up an incense table, put her favorite honey and fresh fruit, and held a remote memorial ceremony for Chang'e who was sentimentally attached to him in the moon palace.

After people heard the news that Chang'e went to the moon to become a fairy, they set up incense tables under the moon one after another, praying for good luck and safety to the kind Chang'e.

Since then, the custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

Yaya is still young, so she doesn't know much about the love story in it, but she is only interested in the elixir inside.

With bright eyes, he asked, "Grandpa, is there really that kind of elixir?"

Yaya's innocent words made everyone laugh.

The old man also said with a slight smile: "It is rumored that it exists in fairy mountains overseas."

Yaya's eyes were full of longing: "It would be great if there was an elixir."

Xing Rushui asked with a smile: "Does Yaya want to fly to the moon like Fairy Chang'e?"

Yaya shook her head and said, "I don't want to be like Fairy Chang'e, there is no one playing there, how boring."

"Then what do you want the medicine for?" Fan Ming asked, rolling his eyes.

Yaya snapped her fingers and said, "One for grandpa, one for dad, and one for mom." She said it to everyone, then looked at Fan Ming and said, "I just won't give it to you."

"Who cares!" Fan Ming pouted.

Everyone laughed.

Most of the fruits on the table are made from the space, and they are the favorite food of the birds. Only a few parrots and Xiaoxi ate until their stomachs became round.But the big dogs could only starve, and only the little grizzly got a piece of moon cake.

Only this guy, Wukong, doesn't eat anything, and he doesn't eat less mooncakes and fruits.

Fan Ming snatched a bunch of grapes from Wukong's hand and asked, "Brother, there are no more grapes in the orchard. Where did you get these grapes? There are also strawberries and watermelons."

Zhang Taiping just smiled and shook his head without speaking.Cai Yazhi knew the reason, but naturally she would not say it.

In fact, there are a lot of specialties about the Mid-Autumn Festival in many places. In some places, there will be lanterns, in some places there will be fire dragon dances, in some places there will be pagoda lanterns, and so on.

The most interesting thing is "throwing handkerchiefs to recruit relatives".In some areas of Shandong Province, there is a custom of throwing handkerchiefs to invite relatives on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.At night, a colorful platform is set up in the square, arranged in the shape of a moon palace, with jade rabbits, osmanthus trees, etc.Some unmarried girls dress up as Chang'e. After singing and dancing, the girls throw some handkerchiefs embroidered with different colors to the audience.If any audience receives a handkerchief with the same design and color as "Chang'e", they can go on stage to accept the award.When some unmarried young men return their handkerchiefs, if they are liked by "Chang'e", they can give them rings.After that, the two parties can make friends, and those who love each other will get married.

Zhang Taiping and the others didn't pay much attention to it, they simply defeated the moon god and watched the moonlight.

If it was held on other festivals, people who are acquainted in the village would have come or called over to join in the fun and drink.But tonight is different from other festivals. Its status among the Han people is similar to that of New Year's Eve, and they are all spent in their own homes.So no one came to disturb you all night, it was leisurely and warm.

When the food on the table was almost eaten, Cai Yazhi stood up and said, "I'll go in and make some porridge for everyone."

"I'll go in and help you." Xing Rushui said.

Zhang Taiping stood up and said: "Both of you sit down, I will do it."

The reason why he has to do it himself is because he prepares a nutritious porridge.

I took some black rice and some glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice is also called glutinous rice, and long glutinous rice is indica glutinous, and its nutrition is not much better than that of black rice.Rice grains are slender, pinkish-white, opaque, and sticky.It is a mild tonic, which has the functions of tonifying deficiency, nourishing blood, invigorating the spleen and warming the stomach, and antiperspirant.It is suitable for nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, sweating deficiency, shortness of breath and weakness, pregnancy abdominal distention and other symptoms caused by qi deficiency.

Wine made from glutinous rice can be used to nourish body and cure diseases.Glutinous rice, eucommia, astragalus, wolfberry, angelica, etc. can be used to make "eucommia glutinous rice wine". Drinking it has the effects of strengthening energy and refreshing, beautifying and prolonging life, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation.There is also a kind of "Tianma glutinous rice wine", which is made of Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis pilosula, etc. mixed with glutinous rice.Glutinous rice can be brewed not only with medicine, but also with fruit.Such as "roxburghii glutinous rice wine", drinking it regularly can prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.

However, modern scientific research shows that: glutinous rice contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and starch, etc., and is a warming and strong product.The starch contained in it is amylopectin, so it is difficult to digest and hydrolyze in the stomach.

Therefore, it is not advisable to consume too much at one time, and the elderly, children or patients should use it with caution.

Its indigestibility determines that it can only be used as an auxiliary ingredient rather than a main ingredient.But if it is used to cook porridge with other nutritional products, it is a good thing.

Zhang Taiping is going to mix glutinous rice and black rice, add some Gastrodia elata, raisins, wolfberry, almonds, white fungus, and the best honey produced in the space, and cook a pot that can nourish the brain, strengthen energy and refresh, beautify and prolong life, and relieve pain. The porridge for muscle and blood circulation is here.

Using a high-pressure rice cooker, it takes less than half an hour to cook, and the sweet smell spreads from the kitchen.

Fan Ming couldn't sit still at first, and ran in and asked, "What porridge is it so fragrant?"

Wukong also stretched his neck behind and scratched his ears and cheeks.

Zhang Taiping lost her appetite for a while and said: "You will know later."

After it was cooked, it was uncovered and placed in a small porcelain bowl. Fan Ming said in surprise, "It turned out to be black rice?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Try carefully and see what else is there."

Because not all of them are black rice, the color is not jet black, but rather dark red, and it has a different kind of temptation when placed in a fine white porcelain bowl.

The old man tasted it and praised: "That's right, Gastrodia elata and glutinous rice work together quite well."

"Is there glutinous rice in it?" Fan Ming asked in surprise.

Cai Yazhi said with a smile: "There is no glutinous rice that has such a high viscosity."

Although everyone had eaten a lot of moon cakes and fruits before, this sweet porridge was still eaten up.

It wasn't until they were almost digested and their stomachs didn't look so bloated that they cleared up the table and went back to the house.
