Back to 1988, in order to lay down liver skills

Chapter 48

When the fish is brought home, it must first be gutted and hung up.

Waiting for all the new year's goods to be ready before starting to 'grease'.

Cut the fish into pieces and mix it on top; wash the lotus root and cut it into strips and mix it on top; cut some shredded meat into strips and mix it on top; chop up vegetables and mix it on top—this is to make meatballs.

Deep fried.

There are also fried hemp leaves, which are seasoned with oil, salt and most importantly sesame seeds when kneading the noodles, then rolled into noodles, cut into diamond shapes, and deep-fried in an oil pan.

You can also deep-fry tofu, or even deep-fry sweet potatoes.

It's purely based on hobbies, what to fry, if the family conditions are better, you can also buy some dried hairtail cut into sections and fried with noodles.

Dried octopus and kelp are also new year's goods that are only prepared during the Chinese New Year this year.The bought dried kelp is boiled in the pot and then dried. When cooking, add some vinegar or other things to remove the fishy smell. After cooking, dry it. When eating, soak it in various ways.

Dayanzhuang belongs to the inland area and is not used to seafood. Even if they bring seafood that is touted in the future, most of them will find it too fishy.

When the oil is fried, the children like it the most. Standing beside them are drooling and watching eagerly. If they are allowed, they will eat the fried food openly.

I seldom make braised pork, and the fat is used to melt oil.

Only a small part of lean meat is fried, and part of it is boiled, leaving a part of raw meat.

Yan Changqing also had a hard time getting over his mouth addiction. He hadn't eaten so much delicious food for more than half a year after his rebirth.

Like all the brats in the village, their mouths are full of oil.

The key is that under his strong request, he also improved his cooking skills by taking the spoon.

Fun!

……

Wash and dry in the sun, fill the tank with water, and the kitchen is full of packed ingredients, ready for the new year.

By the way, I have to prepare a string of gifts for relatives.

It is mainly sugar and fruit—the fruit is also fried in flour, as mentioned earlier.

The white sugar is wrapped in yellow cardboard, packaged in a triangular shape on each side, and wrapped with thin yellow paper ropes.

The fruit is also wrapped in the same yellow cardboard, covered with a piece of red patterned paper, tied with thin yellow paper strings.

Most people take two packs of fruit and two packs of sugar when visiting relatives, and when the daughter returns to her mother's house, she takes an extra "courtesy note" - rib meat.

The conditions are particularly good, or the relationship is particularly good, and there will be something else, which is a minority.

Don’t worry about not having enough things to prepare. There are also gifts in return. Depending on the relationship, most of them can return a bag of candy and a bag of fruit. Some people even bring back more gifts than they brought back from relatives.

The people in the family took a clear inventory of everything, and felt that there was nothing missing, so the official Chinese New Year began.

Pasting couplets and making dumplings represents the official start of the Chinese New Year.

There are so many rules these days, and there are many troubles. For example, once the New Year starts, after the meal at noon on New Year's Eve, even the used water cannot be poured out, and it must be stored in a bucket...

The implication, Yan Changqing doesn't understand either, it's probably 'the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' field'?
He didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say that.

In short, all kinds of cumbersome, but everyone enjoys it, except for children who find it troublesome.

……

From the meal at noon on New Year's Eve, every family in the village began to set off firecrackers before the meal.

Here comes the fun for the little ones, picking up firecrackers.

But the harvest will not be great, because most people set off firecrackers in a string of three fingers long - the super short kind, not much bigger than a cigarette box, can hold twenty strings of firecrackers in the box, you can count on it How many small firecrackers are there in a string.

Firecrackers with [-] or [-] rings are a rarity in Dayan Village, and the rich families in the village will prepare one or two, and set them off on the morning of the first day of the new year or when going to the grave.

Regarding the matter of picking up firecrackers, Yan Changqing expressed disdain, not because of his status as a reborn person, but because he... was timid.

The production technology of firecrackers is very poor. Some firecrackers will explode when they see fire, and the long twists will burn out and explode in an instant; there are also some firecrackers that you can see a fire in front of your eyes, but they can't be burned out. It's pitifully slow...

And the bottom of some firecrackers is blocked with a grain of sand.

The bear children picked up the firecrackers, and they were more courageous. They took the firecrackers and lit them before throwing them away.

In his previous life, Yan Changqing was blown to his hand in this way, which led to that year, he learned to use chopsticks with his left hand.

There are also many rules on the first day of the new year. For example, you are not allowed to wake up, and you have to sleep until you wake up naturally.

Yan Changqing didn't need to shout. He exercised as usual in the morning and breathed fresh air. Then, before eating, after watching his father set off firecrackers, he ran to enjoy his once-a-year special treatment—eating eggs.

It is a boiled egg, but today the egg has a different meaning.

His birthday is today, yes, he was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Eating eggs today is a tradition to celebrate birthdays.

In previous years, there were only eggs, but this year, my mother cooked four dishes in the morning - life is good, I am in a good mood, and I will comfort my son who has made great contributions to the family for more than half a year.

Yan Changqing was still very happy.

He felt that his work was not in vain. Although the changes were not big now, sooner or later his family would be able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

I plan to lie flat, but lying flat is not a complete mess. Lying flat is to enjoy life and let people around me live a good life.

Lying flat is also conditional, you can't eat meat, right?Can't suffer and suffer?Can't anyone can bully us?cannot……

……

After eating, I go to the grave. Life is better this year, and there are many things to visit the grave. At least I have prepared a lot more paper money.

It's not paper money folded into ingots, there is no such thing yet.It's just a big pile of yellow paper, put real banknotes on it and press it, and press all the places neatly.

Then turn both hands into a flower like Tai Chi, and then fold it up, so that it will burn faster when it is ignited, and it means sending the money to the deceased relatives after burning.

The tributes include cooked large pieces of meat, steamed buns, etc., and this year there is more fish.

Due to limited conditions, the village doesn't pay much attention to tributes, they just take what they have at home.

Anyway, after the tribute is over, I will take it back.

After returning from the grave, Yan Changqing began to concentrate on practicing kung fu again.

He didn't intend to pick up firecrackers, and he didn't want to watch other brats play, and he was actually afraid that the matter of setting off firecrackers would not be exposed. Practicing kung fu was a good excuse.

If he wants to set off firecrackers, he has to wait until later, buy some regular good firecrackers to play with, anyway, he doesn't plan to play now.

So Erwa and Tie Dan were in high spirits, and when they were standing outside the yard screaming, he simply went out and took them to practice kung fu together.

Anyway, no firecrackers.

It's also a rule for the two bears to yell outside, and they can't go to other people's houses on the first day of the new year, so the bears can only yell outside the wall, and they will naturally run out when they hear it.

……

The big event of the New Year is visiting relatives.

On the second day of the new year, the whole family was dispatched to visit relatives.

Mom goes back to her natal home, Yan Changqing visits uncles, grandparents, and father visits mother-in-law.

This day is an appointment, several aunts will be reunited at grandma's house on the same day, and of course there are uncles, Yan Changqing only has one uncle, who lives with his grandparents.

The relatives are all together, happy to be happy, but for Yan Changqing, there are also things that make him unhappy-relatives who have heard of his performance in the past six months will keep praising him, and usually everyone The words are almost the same.

Then the same kind of bear kids will be annoying, these are not friends from the village, because they are relatives, some cousins ​​and cousins ​​will always incite him to 'perform', very annoying!

But you can't beat them up yet, these people 'hold grudges', and after many years they get together and 'reveal each other', and use it as an excuse to persuade them to drink when they drink.

Then look at the parents and the parents of the other party, giving each other New Year's money for the children-it's all good New Year's money, as much as your family gives to my family, my family will also give to your family, so that everyone will not suffer.

At least Yan Changqing's relatives are like this, they are more 'rule', because he has only one child in his family, so it seems that his aunt's family has two children, they will count the New Year's money well, if Yan Changqing's mother Give each of their children a dime, and they will give Yan Changqing [-] cents.

The calculation is particularly clear, and it seems to give people the feeling of a philistine.But Yan Changqing thinks this is very good, because everyone's conditions are not good now. In fact, their relatives will always calculate it clearly in the next few decades.

The relationship has always been very good. When someone builds a house, everyone pools in money and contributes as much as they can. Even if they don't meet so many times in the future, they still have a good relationship.

Including cousins ​​and brothers, they all have a good relationship. When they were young, they fought and fought, and decades later they are still very good.

Yan Changqing planned to wait for them to grow up before making a good relationship, and now he is too lazy to care about these brats.

The main reason is that there is no camera to take pictures of these guys' ugliness, otherwise he would definitely be happy to play with them.

Think about it, if you have a photo of an old cousin wearing crotch pants when he was a child, squatting on the floor and playing with sheep poop, how much wine is it worth?

There is also a brat over there, I don’t know where I heard a buzzword, and he is bragging that he knows qigong, and his face will turn red when he is lucky. In fact, he is holding his breath, so he must blush. suffocate...

If this is recorded, in the future... ha ha ha!

There is also a cheeky little girl over there, who is squatting on the ground to look at a Maverick little cousin wearing crotch pants, if this is recorded...

Really happy to think about it!
"Qijin, come here!" Yan Changqing was being silly and happy, and was called by his mother. "Come here, show your aunt a spinning stick, the one you play at home all day, and somersaults, like that..."

Yan Changqing was desperate!

But what can he do, this is my mother!
She just wants her precious son to show himself in front of his sisters, brothers and parents. What's wrong with her?

She loves her son more than she loves herself, she doesn't care if she wears new clothes, she just wants everyone to see her son's ability, can this be wrong?
So what can Yan Changqing do, he just plays with a stick!

Amidst the cheers of a bunch of little kids, and the cheerful voices of old aunts, grandparents, and grandparents, they played sticks loudly.

Still turning somersaults...

Then get another round of praise!
There is not even a new word except awesome and good.

Don't say anything, just look back and ask how to buy a camera, and improve your photography skills.

Not for anything else, just to record the beautiful childhood of these bear children...

Don't try to run away, one counts as one, and don't stop until you take the most memorable photos...
