My village can't be like this

Chapter 29 New Year's Eve (please collect and recommend)

The last day of the twelfth lunar month is what everyone calls New Year's Eve. It is a day that adults and children look forward to, New Year's Eve.

The difference from the previous two days was that it was drizzling this morning.

The sky was a little gloomy, with thick clouds covering the sun in the sky.

In Zhang An's impression, it seems that there are few times when the sky is sunny on New Year's Eve, and the weather is basically this kind of weather. Maybe this is because of being in the mountains.

Early in the morning, Wang Fang was already busy.

There is no cooking at noon, which is a custom in Changqing Village.

Wang Fang fished out the glutinous rice that had been soaked for many days, and steamed a full steamer.

I wanted to make more, but was persuaded by Zhang An, and finally changed to a smaller steamer for steaming.

This is the glutinous rice that is used to make rice cakes.

No cooking at noon is because the rice cakes are made in the morning, and the whole family eats rice cakes, which can be dipped in sugar or stuffed.Usually the family will make some of each.

Zhang An is quite different, he likes to dip in chili water.

After half an hour, the glutinous rice in the steamer was cooked.

Pour it into the cleaned stone mortar, Zhang An and his father took the wooden pestle to feel the glutinous rice flour in it.

Ordinary people really can't do this job. If you haven't done it before, you will lose your energy if you try it twice.

The father and son fought back and forth, while Wang Fang turned over the glutinous rice flour that had not been mashed up and was hammered.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Fang turned over with her hands and looked at it. Basically, the glutinous rice was smashed and stuck together, and it was ready.

Put a layer of flour on the cleaned sieve, put the beaten rice cakes into the sieve, and twist some of them into several bowls. Wang Fang made the remaining balls with his hands, and finally formed a ball. Big disc.

Then began to worship the gods. The bowl is used to worship the shrines.

After a while, the second uncle's family also came with steamers, and their family steamed twice as much as Zhang An's.

But only Zhang An's family has a mortar, and the third uncle's family will bring it later.

So Zhang An had to release his strength today.

In this way, Zhang An picked up the wooden pestle and confronted the second uncle again. After the fight, Zhang An still felt a little tired. The main reason was that Zhang An didn't have so many proficient skills, so he could only rely on his own strength.

The second uncle's house just started cooking, and the third uncle's house came again.

After washing the mortar, it started again. Zhang Jianguo just came here because someone seemed to have something to do.

So Zhang An picked up the wooden pestle and fought with the third uncle, just like Lu Bu fighting Sanying.

The second uncle looked at it with all his strength and was obedient.

"It's ok, Xiaoan, I have some strength now." The second uncle Zhang Jianjun touched his nephew's biceps, let alone quite strong.

"Second uncle, I can't rush to have another pot, I'm so tired."

Of course, there were other people who came to Zhang An's house to fight, but the second uncle and the third uncle took turns to help, so Zhang An could take a good rest.

It took me all afternoon to make rice cakes, because it was not just my own.

After eating the rice cakes, it's time to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. A pot of boiling water is boiled on the stove.

Zhang Jianguo started to kill chickens and fish. Wang Fang took out the bacon and sausage last night to save time and washed them in advance. Today, as long as they are boiled on the fire, they can be sliced ​​directly.

If there is an aerial camera drone now, you can see that every household in Changqing Village is preparing various ingredients.

No matter what is going on at home, save money.

Those families who are not willing to eat meat a few times throughout the year will definitely cook some delicious dishes for their family members during the New Year.

That's why children love New Year's Eve.

Because there is meat to eat, new clothes to wear, and lucky money during the New Year.

Although they are now one year older after each year.

After many years, maybe their generation doesn't like Chinese New Year anymore.

Because at that time, Chinese New Year meant going home and being urged to marry, give birth, etc. by the family.

But for now, at least they can live happily.

A series of preparatory work lasted for several hours, and the cooking began after worshiping the gods.

Naturally, Wang Fang is the chef at home. Zhang An helped prepare all kinds of ingredients before Wang Fang took over the pot.

Although it is a New Year's Eve dinner, it is basically ready by four o'clock in the afternoon.

Some people even make it earlier, at two or three o'clock, and you can tell by the sound of firecrackers in the village.

After all the dishes were served on the table, the ancestors of the family had to be enshrined first. When it was over, Zhang An took a string of earthen cannons to the yard and set them up.

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and this release means that the year has passed, and everyone will welcome the new year.

Then the whole family had a happy New Year's Eve dinner. Although there were only three people in Zhang An's family, it was very lively and not deserted at all. Moreover, Wang Fang started talking about letting Zhang An find a partner at this time.

There are no mobile phones in this era, so there is no such thing as online New Year greetings.

There is indeed such a thing as wishing auspiciousness in the New Year, but it only starts on the first day of the new year. At the time of the [-]th, everyone will stay at home by themselves, and the family will watch the year after eating.

There is no TV now, or the whole family will watch the Spring Festival Gala on the TV. Not to mention, in fact, the Spring Festival Gala in those years was quite good, unlike the taste that gradually lost its flavor later on, and fewer and fewer people watched it.

But in fact, the planning of the program is one of the reasons. The taste of the future is not so full. Of course, with the development of technology, there are fewer and fewer people watching TV, not to mention that TV itself is eliminating itself.

Zhang An remembers that when later generations watched the Spring Festival Gala at home during the Chinese New Year, he even had to pay for membership to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Isn’t this pure nonsense.

Lying on the bed, without a mobile phone or a TV, but Zhang An is not sleepy now.

I just checked the situation in the space in the room, and after half a year since I came back, the conditions in my home have changed a lot, and this is all brought about by the space.

The two fish ponds have expanded a lot, and the fish inside are still very large, but because Zhang An deliberately restricted them, they are not as densely packed with fish heads as before.

Several rows of fruit trees were still full of fruit. After a few days, Zhang An planted cherry trees on the remaining half acre of land next to his yard.

The wild rabbits released a few days ago have also given birth to cubs, and now they have bred for one generation, and there are more than a dozen rabbits crawling around in the grass.

The little deer has also grown up, and it is not afraid when Zhang An leans on it. Instead, it rubs its head against Zhang An.

Zhang An took a look and found that it was a male deer with long antlers growing on its head. Although Zhang An didn't know much about deer antlers, Zhang An didn't plan to cut the antlers after it had grown like this.

On the contrary, the Gastrodia elata that had been planted before gave Zhang An a big surprise. The densely packed area had already grown an inch-high moss.

After asking the elders in the village, Zhang An realized that the longer the life span of Gastrodia elata, the better, and that the freshly bolted Gastrodia elata is the best time.

A few moss stalks that had grown taller were left for seedlings, and Zhang An dug up all the rest.

Sure enough, the space is a paradise for these plants. Plants that often require very harsh conditions to grow well in the outside world can grow directly in the space.

Although these dug out Gastrodia elata are ugly, they are still quite big.

I have to find a time to take it outside and boil it and dry it in the sun so that it is easy to store, but it will not rot if it is placed in the space now, so there is no rush.
