Chapter 284 Art is Explosion
Then prepare all kinds of steamed cakes, fried cakes, oil cakes and other tributes, rice wine, firecrackers, and Wang Manyin took his wife and children to worship the ancestors and go to the grave. This is already a much simplified method.

After the Wang family of Guanzi Village separated from Wangjia Village, they lived in Guanzi Village for generations. In the old grave over there in Wangjia Village, Wang Mancang, the de facto patriarch of the Wang clan, just brought a few people to represent Guanzi Village.

Wang Manyin didn't have to go there if he wasn't ranked high in the Wang family. Wang Manyin started offering sacrifices to the ancestors of Bagong's generation.

Then came the first generation of second-raters, the generation of Grandpa Wang Manyin, this line began to become a single pass, although grandpa smoked opium and lost his family, he also left Wang Manyin with the identity of a poor peasant and three large stone kilns, which is still worthy of thanks of.

The last is the second-generation loafer. Wang Manyin basically has no memory of his father, and he is not sad at all.

Wang Manyin's deep memory of his own mother, who worked hard to raise her, passed away.It cannot be said that it is not a great pity that I have not enjoyed the blessings, and have not seen Wang Manyin get married and have children.

When the ancestor came back, it was almost noon, and noon at [-] was not the point. I cooked a portion of mutton, served with steamed cakes, and had a lunch of oil cakes.

Maodan and Goudan couldn't wait to find their friends to play with. Wang Manyin took the two children out and wandered around the village. What worried him most was the flock of sheep.

During the Spring Festival, most of the labor force of the production team was arranged to rest, because there was no need for grazing, so there were fewer things to do. Wang Manyin also liked to rest, so he arranged to take care of the flocks for the poor families on the team, so that they could earn more centimeters.

There are not many things to do, just feeding and cleaning the sheep pen, and other technical related work is left to Li Laishun to solve.

It's a good job, but Wang Manyin still prefers to rest during the Spring Festival, so he chatted with Li Laishun, made an appointment for a drink, and Wang Manyin continued to wander around the village.

They chatted with each other if they had a good relationship, and half the afternoon passed quickly, and finally took the cat and dog who wanted to follow the older children in the village to blow up the cesspit and went home.

The children in the village are so skinny, they can't set off the firecrackers properly, they always have to blow something up, it's rare for the children to understand that art is explosion at a young age, and it's all dry dung. Crying, I always feel that something is missing.

Just like during a reunion, there are no children in the family and it is not lively enough, what is important is an atmosphere.

"Cat egg, dog egg, you two come here, I just changed the new clothes for you today, I just went out to play for so long, why did it become like this, the clothes are so dirty, everyone will wear new clothes tomorrow, what are you wearing? ?”

When Catdan and Goudan returned home, they were taught by Orchid. Wherever the children could wear clean clothes, they said they were playing hide-and-seek. It was necessary to teach them a lesson, emphasizing that the clothes were dirty and dirty. Dirty difference.

"It's all dust, wash the outer hood and put it next to the stove, don't delay wearing it tomorrow."

Fortunately, Wang Manyin rescued the two of them, and they really followed the fried dung pit. The two of them might have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots.

Lanhua is still good at educating children, and she has been trained by the three of Sun's family.

In the countryside, parents have a lot of things to do, and if the child is disobedient, it’s fine to hit the child. The difference is the difference between the lightness and the severity of the spanking. How can a dog be understood at such a big age? After understanding so many reasons, you can definitely remember the feeling of pain. up.

Wang Manyin still couldn't bear to beat the child, and Lan Hua was not someone who could take it down, and the most he could do when he got angry was to hit him a few times moderately.

When Wang Manyin took the children out, Lanhua was not idle either, smelling the smell of vinegar in the house, Wang Manyin knew it was vinegar charcoal, a unique custom in northern Shaanxi, that is, putting a piece of red-hot vinegar on an iron spoon. Coals, topped with vinegar. "Beating vinegar and charcoal" should be carried out in every corner of the home, which means to exorcise evil spirits, but in fact the real effect of vinegar is to disinfect.

There are many other customs unique to New Year’s Eve in northern Shaanxi. Mothers-in-law put charcoal and ice cubes by the door, and set up a rolling pin and knife and ax behind the door. It is said that this is to suppress evil, and it is called "Shou Sui" here.

People always go to bed very late on New Year's Eve.Generally, the lights are kept on all night at home, which indicates peace in all seasons and a long life.

Put some food in the pot, which is called "cooking pot", which means there is no shortage of food for a year.

Some old people can't sleep at night, and they climb up to the top of the mountain quietly in the dark and look eastward. This is called "pintian".According to the old man, from Xiaotian's color path, we can see the harvest of this year's crops and the good or bad luck of the village.

Of course, this is all the same as Mr. Yin Yang in Mijia Town. They all make inferences based on life experience. If there is a lot of rain and snow in winter, and the crops are not short of water, they will naturally have a good harvest.

There are also some hopes for life in the coming year, and the meaning of blessings.

Feudal superstition is definitely not acceptable, but these customs, which can be regarded as the habits of northern Shaanxi, have been preserved normally.

After coming back, he was busy cooking the New Year's Eve dinner. The chef was Lan Hua. When Lan Hua was cooking, Wang Manyin helped the children to light the fire.

Wang Manyin also made a dish of sweet and sour fish and braised pork. Although there are only four people, two big and two small, Wang Manyin also cooks eight dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner at home.

The family of four sat down around the kang table. Rice wine is a must for New Year's people in northern Shaanxi. After Wang Manyin poured it for himself, he also poured a bowl for Lanhua with a bowl. Naturally, the two children still had honey water.

Northern Shaanxi rice wine, also known as sweet wine and thick wine, is actually a kind of rice wine. Because the wine is mushy, turbid and thick, it is called rice wine.

The rice wine brewed from soft yellow rice has six flavors of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, acridity, umami and astringency in one, making it unique in taste.

The alcohol content of rice wine is not high. It is not only a drink that is used to drinking in winter in northern Shaanxi, but also the main drink for entertaining relatives, friends and neighbors.

People who have the conditions will consciously brew rice wine, but there are more or less differences, especially during the Chinese New Year.

Naturally, rice wine also needs koji. In summer, the new wheat grains are pulled on a stone mill into fragrant wheat kernels, and the wheat kernel grits are mixed into soft cakes with the remaining warm water, and wrapped in freshly picked wheat kernels. The pumpkin leaves are wrapped with thick fresh wheat straw and placed on a hot kang.

After fermenting overnight, strip off the straw from the fermented product, which has a strong wine aroma, and store it in a ventilated and shaded place to make dry cakes. The dry cakes are the koji of rice wine.

Rice wine is mostly brewed during the twelfth lunar month. Yellow rice or millet can be used to make rice wine.Soak millet or yellow rice in boiling water for one night, remove it, steam it in a pot, scoop it into a wine jar of suitable size, add wine koji and put it on a hot kang head to ferment overnight, then move the wine jar to a ventilated place in the house near the door for storage , The brewed rice wine can be taken as you drink.
