Xanadu space

() "Ermeishan, you are talking about the discovery of the corpses of two hunters yesterday? How can you not know about such a big event!" Baoshan smiled, secretly glad that he did not become the village secretary, otherwise every meeting would be a mess. Get mentioned.

"Hunting..." Zhang wanted to laugh. As long as everyone thinks that the hunter is killed by a wild animal, the police station will have one more thing than one less thing. If you don't investigate deeply, this matter will pass after a long time. Who would think of yourself? ?

"Brother Baoshan, do you know anyone in Xiaoxi County who can grow shiitake mushrooms? I feel that there are many trees in Zhangjiadian, you can try to grow them!"

Zhang wanted to tell the purpose of this trip. Baoshan has always been in the village, and he is much better at these agricultural things than he, a half-watered farmer.

"It's not easy to grow shiitake mushrooms, even the basswood used for planting is also required. It is the kind of chestnut tree that is about three years old. I have asked about this before, but I don't have the technology and I am afraid of losing money, so I dare not plant it! "

When Baoshan mentioned this, he had lingering fears. He went to other places to see it two years ago and wanted to plant it. Inviting an expert to come, the investment is too big, and if you lose money, you will lose a lot. <Invite me an expert, I’ll invest some money to try, if possible, doesn’t every house in the village have a big yard?If you can plant them, everyone will have income! "

It was only after Zhang Xiang came back that he realized that Zhangjiadian is too poor. He is not rich if he is rich alone. If everyone has money in their pockets and can hold their heads high when they go out, that is the real ability!

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, I'll take care of it for you!" Baoshan chuckled, he couldn't help finding someone, at worst, just pay some money, just go to the county research institute and hire one.

"Xiangzi, try your sister-in-law's handicraft!" Zhang Xiang's sister-in-law brought a large bowl of poached eggs with some glutinous rice cakes in it, and steamed them to the table.

Zhang Xiang smiled and refused. The poached egg was very tender and the yellow yolk inside trembled slightly. The glutinous rice cake was very sticky and tasted very good. He was not hungry but he still wiped out the bowl of eggs.

Back to my little home, I took the time to visit the island.Seeing that the grass withered in winter, Zhang Xiang didn't dare to water the grass and spread soil on the island, otherwise the island would be green and green, which violated the laws of nature, and anyone who saw it would be suspicious.

Without the grass, there is not much food for the rabbits, Zhang Xiang only kept a few hundred breeding rabbits, and sold the rest, but the group of pheasants grew up and could fly, but I feel that a pheasant is not heavy, plus Their legs are very long, and it is difficult to catch them when they run and jump.

The dozens of native chickens settled down on the island. The food for the chickens on the island is plentiful, but there are not many eggs to pick up when the weather is cold. There are one or twenty chickens every other day. Zhang wants to find time to use gourds Put it back in a scoop, but you can't finish it!

This day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the annual "Laba Festival" in rural areas.On the night of the seventh day of the seventh day, Jinchrysanthemum is busy, washing rice, soaking fruit, peeling, removing core, sorting, and then cooking in the middle of the night, and then stewing on low heat until the next morning, the rich aroma of Laba porridge Only when it drifted away, the porridge was ready.

After the Laba porridge is cooked, you must first worship the gods and ancestors.Zhang Hongbing put porridge on the sacred cabinet in the main room, burned paper and kowtowed, and then prayed a few words.It is nothing more than asking the ancestors to bless the weather and the weather, and the whole family is safe and happy.

"I'll send some Laba porridge to the farm later, and there are two guests staying today. We can't forget about them after the Laba Festival!" Zhang Hongbing was also happy, and the one who celebrated the festival today is Shuxin.

After the Laba porridge is ready, it must be presented to relatives and friends, and the sooner the better, the last is for the whole family to eat.

It was very cold early in the morning, and the family sat around the table, drinking Laba porridge lively.Zhang Xiang picked up a big bowl, and there were several "fruit lions" in the steaming porridge.

The fruit lion is a lion-shaped thing made of several kinds of fruits. The body of the lion is the crispy dates that have been removed and dried, half a walnut kernel is used as the lion's head, peach kernels are used as the lion's feet, and sweet almonds are used as the lion's tail.Then stick them together with sugar and put them in the porridge bowl, like a little lion.

This kind of fruit lion looks better and tastes better, but it is too troublesome to make, and it takes more work than cooking porridge.Zhang thought it had been many years since he had eaten this kind of porridge at home, and it felt very warm.

"Mom, don't make this kind of fruit lion next time, it's too troublesome! You are busy enough in our family, we don't pay attention to this!"

Zhang Xiang took a sip of the thick porridge, and the aroma of rice in his mouth went straight to the bottom of his heart.The hot porridge immediately warmed him up and made him extremely comfortable.

"No trouble, as long as you like to eat!" Jin Juhua looked at her son's greedy face, feeling very comfortable, and the hard work of last night instantly disappeared.

Every year, a lot of Laba porridge is cooked at home, and it is a good sign to keep it for a few days, and it means "more than every year".

After eating Laba porridge, Chrysanthemum put a small pot of porridge, and then stained some porridge on the door and windows, and sent the rest to the pigsty and duck house so that the domestic animals could eat a little. This is also left over from ancient times. The custom of this is to pray for the prosperity of the animals in the coming year.

Looking at his mother's movements, Zhang Xiang also scooped up a bowl of porridge and tried it for Xiao Hei and Bean Sprouts. Who knew that the two guys ran away after smelling it, which made him laugh out loud. This porridge is not for every animal. I like it all!

After tidying up everything in the morning, Chrysanthemum will soak Laba garlic according to the old habit.Pickling Laba garlic is a custom in Zhangjiadian. As the name suggests, garlic is soaked on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Purple-skinned garlic and vinegar are used to soak Laba garlic. The garlic soaked in purple-skinned garlic is crispy and fragrant. That kind of purple-skinned garlic is grown in the farm’s own vegetable field.

Zhang Xiang also came to help peel the garlic cloves, put them into a small jar, soak them in vinegar and seal them tightly, it was very easy to do.When this kind of Laba garlic is unsealed on New Year’s Eve, the garlic cloves will be green and green, and the spicy taste will be removed a lot, and the vinegar will also add a lot of garlic fragrance.

Garlic, spicy, acetic, sour, and fragrant are mixed together, and it is the best condiment for eating dumplings. It can also be used in cold dishes, and has a unique taste.Brother and sister Zhang Xiang like to eat Laba garlic soaked by their mother the most. When Zhang Yun goes to school, he will bring some to school and share it with his classmates.

When soaking garlic, Zhang Hongbing saw that the atmosphere was very good. He sat aside and watched his son and wife busy, so he smiled and talked about the origin of making Laba garlic during the Laba Festival.

"The garlic character in Laba Suan has the same pronunciation as the word "suan". It was closed in recent years. Every business has to calculate the income and expenditure of the year on this day. You can see the profit and loss, including foreign debts and foreign debts. Make it clear today."

While smoking a cigarette, Zhang Hongbing saw that his son was aroused by his words, and continued with a smile.

"But Chinese New Year is coming, Chinese people always talk about face and lottery, and they can't go to other people's homes and yell that they are in debt and pay back the money. So the debt collectors will soak some Laba garlic and give them to others. The debtors will receive it naturally. It is tacitly understood that the debts that have been closed for a year should be liquidated. "Garlic" and "count" have the same pronunciation..."

"Dad used Laba garlic as a debt collection reminder, which is a rare painstaking effort. I thought it was just for eating dumplings on New Year's Eve..."

The garlic is easy to soak, and Zhang is done after thinking about it a few times. Thinking of the garlic-stained dumplings made by his mother on New Year's Eve, his mouth is watering.

"Let me tell you, I still have a lot of heart in reading and doing business. I can tell a story by eating garlic. I think as long as my children like to eat it, I will keep doing it!"

Jin Juhua's eyes were narrowed into a smile, Zhang Xiang was not at home a few years ago, Zhang Yun and Zhang Gao were at school, this Laba Festival also eats porridge and soaked garlic, but she has never been so happy.

The days of the twelfth lunar month always feel that they pass quickly, and this day is also the day when I agreed with Firefox to collect Jiang Wanlin's information. Zhang remembered that he went to Yuyang early in the morning.

Now that it's the end of the year, it's time to settle some accounts!

Changqing's relatives come to stay for a while, sometimes the update will be delayed, please forgive me, but I will try my best to ensure two updates every day.
