Chapter 260 The System Sends Theme

Inheritance, inheritance, sequence, order.

Chengxutang, the meaning is still very good.

The area of ​​this ancestral hall is also large, but the smell of incense inside is very strong, it is not as empty as the academy, there is an incense burner as high as a person in the middle of the courtyard, and a red carpet is spread on the ground.

Although the family ancestral hall is also a place to worship ancestors, they don't feel any coldness at all, and there is no fear at all. Looking at the names in the room, it will make people feel at ease.

The old man who let Chen Xing in asked, "Where are you from?"

"From Sichuan Province."

"Oh, Sichuan Province, the Chen family of Rongcheng?"

Chen Xing shook his head.

"Then do you have a generation?"

"I do not remember."

In the New Territories, Chen is considered a common surname. Chen Xing has several grandfathers. Every year during the Qingming Festival, dozens of people set off together.

However, there is a scenic spot called Chen Family Ancestral Hall, which is only a few kilometers away from the New Territories, but Chen Xingchang has never been there, and he has never heard from his family that it has anything to do with them.

The old man was a little disappointed.

He seemed to really want to help Chen Xing trace the source and find out which branch of the Chen family it was.

Chen Xing couldn't remember his parentage.

But their ancestral home is definitely not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and may have something to do with Jiangxi.The genealogy book in my great-grandfather's house was recorded from the Qing Dynasty. Chen Xing read it many years ago. He only remembered that the paper of the genealogy tree looked like it was made of hay, but he didn't have much impression of the rest.

But no matter what, they have long been from the New Territories.

The old man offered Chen Xing a stick of incense, and Chen Xing was very happy.

After all, they all belong to the old Chen family. They may have been the same ancestor thousands of years ago. Chen Xing bowed in accordance with the usual practice, and said in a low voice: "Please bless me, seniors, for a good harvest in career and love. Thank you everyone."

Insert the incense and bow three times.

This ancestral hall is really well-built, and there are many plaques on the main hall, such as the number one scholar and the first, the first six Jinshi, the Yanguan Chen's mansion and other wooden signboards, but this is a family ancestral hall after all, Chen Xing is inconvenient to look around. It is even more inconvenient to take pictures and videos, so he came out after a quick visit.

The children were waiting for Chen Xing outside, and when they saw him come out, they quickly came over and asked, "Did he hit you?"

"Seventh Uncle is so fierce!"

The next step is to go to the White Tower, which is at the end of the village.

Chen Xing has always called this place Baita Baita, but he also has a name. Chen Fuyong said it was Wenfeng Pagoda. When he got closer, he saw that it said Tuanyun Pagoda on the sign, but it actually meant the same thing, that is, to cultivate the local style of writing. .

This is more common in the south and is a kind of feng shui tower.

Like many clans, one of the keys to maintaining prosperity in the Yanguan Chen family is reading. This can be seen from the Wenfeng Pagoda, the academy in the village, and the plaques in the ancestral hall. Another evidence is that other roads in the village are It has been renovated.

But the road near the college is still a stone road with a sense of history.

Students throughout the ages have walked on those stone slabs, and they can continue to use them for hundreds of years. In rainy days, they don’t get muddy and their shoes don’t get wet. Doesn’t this kind of preferential treatment for scholars prove the status of reading in their hearts? ?

The Tuanyun Pagoda is located in the center of the pond, surrounded by lotus flowers. This kind of scenery makes Chen Xing linger and forget to return. He has been sitting in the lake center pavilion looking at the White Pagoda and the lotus flowers.

Until Chen Fuyong brought his family over.

"Chen Xing?" He greeted.

An Jing wanted to laugh again when she saw Chen Xing, but she held back, now she has to pretend to be a lady no matter what...

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Good job, are you done with your work?"

"It's almost there." He introduced to his parents, "This is Chen Xing, who came back with us before, and these are my parents."

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Chen Xing said.

This family is really similar, it's not a small problem like appearance, but when they smile, their mouths like to show their teeth, they look very hearty and happy.

"Okay, oh, Yong, why haven't I heard you say that before!"

The uncle was very enthusiastic and treated Chen Xing as his son's friend. Chen Fuyong didn't say that he met him on the way, and after briefly telling Chen Xing's information, he and his girlfriend got tired of talking in private.

Chen Xing was always worried that Jing Jing would talk about his being with the children, so he was a little guilty.

But this was seen by the old couple as unable to let go, so they became more enthusiastic.

After all, when Chen Fuyong and Xiaoan were together, uncles and aunts could only chat with Chen Xing, and they couldn't leave the guests alone.

"Chen Xing, where are you from?"

"From Sichuan Province."

"Oh, Sichuan province, is this your first time in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"Well, I've only been here for a few days."

"Then you must have never tasted our drunken shrimp, have you? This is our traditional craft, and the ones made in the hotel are not as delicious as ours. You and Xiaoan must eat more later, so that you can clean up the dust."

Huh?Why is it almost time to eat?
Chen Xing was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't want to go to Chen Fuyong's house for dinner.

Before Chen Xing refused, Chen Fuyong said: "Yes, anyway, you are eating alone, so come with us. But it's just an extra pair of chopsticks. My mother's drunken shrimp and fish balls are amazing. .”

His mother had a very happy, gum-showing smile.

The child praised her craftsmanship in front of friends and girlfriends, which obviously made her feel very good.

"It's almost time for the fish float. I have to go back and knead the fish balls. You can go shopping again."

Jing Jing immediately said: "Then I won't go shopping anymore, I want to go back and learn from you."

Chen Fuyong looked at Chen Xing, and Chen Xing said, "I've been playing here for almost two hours. If you don't mind, I'll bother you..."

Drunken shrimp, he wants to eat it.

There are also fish balls, I don’t know what is the difference from the fish balls on Hong Kong Island.

"Hey! Don't bother me, you are a friend of Ah Yong, coming to us is like coming to your own home. And your surname is Chen, maybe we used to be a family, please don't be polite."

Walk back to Chen Fuyong's house.

The two-story building has more than 75 square meters on each floor, and there is still no shared space of more than [-] square meters, so it looks very big, and the things in the living room are not very cheap. The latest Xiaomi [-] super large-screen TV is placed in living room.

The sofa is also very comfortable to sit on.

But except for the uncle, everyone didn't sit in the living room to rest, but crowded in the kitchen to watch the auntie cook.

Fortunately, the kitchen is also big, so they won't look crowded standing here.

Chen Fuyong's mother explained the method to Chen Xing and the others while cooking. She had already made the first step of making fish balls, which was to scrape the fish meat off the fish with a kitchen knife. The scraped off white flowers were placed in a transparent bowl.

There is water in the bowl, which is what she said before.

"Floating fish meat can remove the fishy smell, make it white, and reduce some impurities in the fish meat. It will be more refreshing when you eat it later."

She skilfully scooped up a handful and felt that it was all right.

"The floating time should not be too long, otherwise the fish will not be made into fish balls if it is not fresh, and it will not stick together. Then, when the fish is minced, it must be stamped slowly with a kitchen knife. You cannot use a mincer, because the meat mincer will not make it well. eat."

Chen Xing seemed to understand, but he remembered everything.

These are all experiences.

Chen Xing has a lot of experience, but he seldom does practical work in the kitchen.

In the future, if there is a time when he often goes to the kitchen, these experiences will come in handy, allowing Chen Xing to master the methods of these dishes in a short time.

After finishing the preparatory work, the aunt carefully checked whether there were any fish bones in the finely chopped fish meat.After this inspection, she put the tender and finely minced fish into a transparent bowl filled with a small amount of water and stirred.

"Well, Xiao An, you can boil water and use an iron pot."

Jing Jing quickly started to work, and Chen Fuyong told her where the things in the kitchen were and how to use them.

Auntie kept stirring the fish clockwise with the chopsticks, so fast that she even made an afterimage of her hands. Chen Xing watched the fish in the bowl gradually turn into something like lotus root starch, which became more and more sticky.

There are no additives at all, only water, fish, and a little salt.

Is it so amazing?
When the aunt taught Jing Jing, she had already begun to direct her to work, but no one asked Chen Xing to help, so he stood near the back and watched the aunt operate, trying to record every step in his mind.

I was still thinking, what about the drunken shrimp?
Compared with the fish balls, Chen Xing obviously wanted to know how the drunken shrimps were made.

He had eaten drunk crabs before, but he was a bit disappointed to be honest. The cooked crabs smelled like alcohol. To be honest, they didn’t meet Chen Xing’s psychological expectations. They were completely different from what he saw on the tip of his tongue, so he wanted to learn from Auntie Said authentic, traditional.

The fish meat has been stirred, the water is boiling, and under the command of the aunt, the soup is almost ready.

Chen Xing saw Auntie squeeze the fish meat with her hands, scoop out the round shape with a spoon, put it into the boiling water very gently, and then use the big spoon to gently turn clockwise in circles in the pot.

She said: "This is Yuyuan, which is called Yuyuan in Yanguan dialect. You are the key to controlling the fire of Yuyuan. You can't open a big fire. Yuyuan is very delicate. No matter what you do, you have to do it gently. When you are strong, the fish Either the circle will be broken, or it will not be formed."

When I scooped it up at the end, it turned out that every one of them looked like glutinous rice balls, and none of them were broken.

Add a few slices of sliced ​​ham and pour over the freshly made broth.

The authentic Jiangnan clear soup fish balls are ready.

It's beautifully done, and the presentation is also very beautiful. If this is put in a hotel, it won't sell for 188 copies?
Chen Xing opened his mouth into an O shape and clapped vigorously.

"Auntie is too good, isn't she? The fish balls are delicious and delicious."

"Hahaha, where, you're welcome, go and sit down, I'll do the rest."

Chen Xing wanted to see how Drunk Shrimp made it, but found that his aunt had already started to stir-fry side dishes, and Chen Xing didn't see a single shell of Drunk Shrimp. It was a bit inexplicable, but it was hard to ask, so he could only follow into the living room.

Chen Fuyong opened the refrigerator and took out a large bowl covered with plastic wrap.

Inside are still moving river prawns.

Aw... this is the drunken shrimp!
What did you do?
Chen Xing was confused.

Uncle also came with a wine glass and a bottle of wine: "Come on, Xiao Xing, come and sit down. When I saw you in the lotus pond just now, I felt kind. I didn't expect you to be a friend of Ah Yong. Isn't that a coincidence?" No? Let's have a drink."

Chen Fuyong also said:

"It's still a little late for you to come here for tourism. Next year, see if you have time in March. We have a large-scale ancestor worship activity here, and it will be very lively. Many tourists from other places will also come at this time. You can come and see it then.”

The rest of the dishes came quickly too.

There is no chili, but the aroma is very strong, and the combination of various fresh aromas is enough to stimulate the appetite of any anorexic patient.

Chen Xing picked up a small shrimp that was still moving, and was a little bit at a loss.

How can I eat this?
The aunt saw it, and immediately taught Chen Xing and An Jing how to eat, saying: "Pinch the tail with one hand, pinch the head with the other, point your mouth at the belly of the drunk shrimp, pinch and suck, and the meat will come out. And In this way, eating drunk shrimp can leave a complete shrimp shell."

Uncle nodded and said: "Yes, whether you will eat drunk shrimp depends on whether there are still intact shells left after eating."

Chen Xing is a fast learner.

An Jing is from Yanjing. It took a few tries to keep a shrimp shell intact. The meal was full of laughter and laughter.

[Wandering in Chenjia Village, time seems to go back a hundred years, these buildings of different forms.The exquisite carvings, from smooth and concise to magnificent, from superstitious sacrifices to returning to the basics, are all deeply imprinted with the imprint of the times, and fully reflect the development and changes of Chenjia Village]

[The most beautiful ancient town TOP100: Chenjia Village]

[You discovered the beauty of Chenjia Village and got cash: 10]

No talents or skills.

But it's good, for 10 yuan, coming back this time is equivalent to a trip for nothing.

It's just that Chen Xing didn't expect that Chenjia Village is also one of the top 100 most beautiful ancient towns. What kind of selection mechanism is this?Could it be that it has nothing to do with the evaluations on the Internet, but only with my own feelings. Which ancient town I went to and thought it was good, is that the TOP100 most beautiful ancient town?

if so……

Chen Xing suddenly felt that the book he wrote hadn't been published yet, and the theme of the new book came again.

It is still the theme sent by the system.

………………

The next day, Chen Xing woke up at the hotel at the entrance of the village.

Last night at his insistence, he stayed in a hotel not far from Chen Fuyong's home. He was really embarrassed to eat and live at Chen Fuyong's house.

He drank a lot of wine yesterday, but Chen Xing's strong physique was completely immune to the damage caused by the hangover, but the smell of wine was unavoidable on the bed, so he went to the bathroom and took a shower.

Sitting on a chair by the window, listening to the chirping of birds outside, this feeling made Chen Xing very relaxed.

In the future, the elderly will come to this kind of place.

Taking out his notebook, Chen Xing started his daily photo-retouching. He did the work he didn't do yesterday while he had time, otherwise Chen Xing didn't know where he would live or what would happen to him tonight.

A few good ones were repaired and sent to the gallery, and the rest...

Putting a website is not good enough either.

Then send it all out.

Chen Xing hasn't made a photo-only video for a long time. He uses the editing software that comes with Biz.com, which contains a lot of copyrighted background music of Biz.com, which prevents him from going to others to buy the copyright.

This kind of video is done very quickly.

Done, send...
