() The golden sun rose from the other side of the mountain, and the birds were chirping in the woods. Li Jiahao got up on time at six o'clock, and after exercising for an hour, he went directly to the kitchen to help his third aunt also cook.

The meal this morning is still the same simple, a pot of black rice porridge, some corn and scallion pancakes, a few side dishes and salted eggs.The method of corn and scallion pancakes is: put some cornmeal and white flour in a basin, hollow out the middle of the flour, pour water into the middle in stages, and knead the water evenly with your hands: after kneading the dough, leave it for 30 minutes, and at the same time prepare to cut the shallot into pieces Sprinkle finely chopped green onion with appropriate amount of salt, the purpose is to make the green onion soft so that the dough will not be pierced when rolling: Divide the dough into 3 sections, take one section first, sprinkle dry flour on the table, and roll it into a round cake; Apply a layer of oil on the surface of the cake with a small brush; sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt, if the green onion has been salted, pay attention to reduce the amount of salt; then roll up the cake; Roll up the strip again, flatten the roll side up, and roll it into a thin round cake again: heat the oil in the ground pan for 9 minutes; fry the cake until both sides are golden.

Li Jiahao drank two bowls of porridge, ate a duck egg, and a lot of scallion pancakes. After he was full of water and food, he took Xiao DianDian to the yard to find a money turtle. He didn’t feed the turtle these days. Fortunately, it was a turtle. Other animals don't know how hungry they are.

Seeing the money turtle basking in the sun on the stones in the yard, Xiao DianDian hurriedly ran over and yelled at the money turtle. The money turtle didn't show any weakness, and rushed forward with its head stretched out. Maybe it was the last time they wanted to fight Didn't fight, Xiao DianDian was still holding her breath.Little Diandian jumped and stepped on the money turtle. What kind of body is the money turtle? He jumped down like lightning, and bit the turtle's back with one bite. Hearing a "crack", a piece of the turtle's shell was bitten off.Seeing that he was obviously weak, the money turtle quickly stuck his head into the turtle shell, acting like a turtle with a shrunken head.Seeing this, Li Jiahao and Nainai both laughed. After the victory, Xiao Dian ran to Li Jiahao's feet and rubbed against Li Jiahao's feet. Her front paws hugged Li Jiahao's legs, her big eyes flickered, she looked so cute.

A few minutes later, Li Jiahao was going to go to the old house to see how the house was being renovated. Li Deben was leading the workers to repair it. He planned to build the stove today. The stove was very particular, and the whole family was required to worship the Kitchen God.

Grandpa caught a big rooster, sharpened his knife and said, "Don't be afraid of the little chickens, the Kitchen God will bring you home." The chicken was killed, plucked, washed and put in a porcelain basin.

Nainai has already set up the incense table over there, with the incense burner in the middle, and the slaughtered chicken, candy ingots, fried rice candy, peanut candy, sesame candy and glutinous rice dumplings are placed beside them. These are the Kitchen God’s favorite food. Nainai took out three sticks of incense, lit them, held them with both hands, knelt on the ground, and said: "Grandpa Kitchen God, you are the best, you make the people full; Kitchen God Nainai, you are the best, you make people and animals prosperous." The incense was inserted in the censer, and nainai kowtowed three more times.He poured another glass of wine on the ground to show respect to the Kitchen God. .In the end, all the candies were snatched up by the children who stood by and waited for a long time.

The children like most when someone builds a new house. When digging the foundation, they need to set off cannons and sprinkle candies. When building the stove, they need to sprinkle candies.At this time, the children are waiting by the side. After the cannons are set off, they can grab candies. The more you grab, the more auspicious you will be.

In Litang Village, there is a portrait of the Stove Lord pasted on the stove of every house.The Kitchen God is the East Kitchen Commander Dingfu Zaojun, commonly known as the Kitchen God, Kitchen King, and Kitchen King Lord, who is in charge of the food and drink in the world.Every year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen god goes to heaven to report the merits and demerits of the world and determine the blessings of the world.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor sent the Queen Mother to the world to inspect people's conditions. The Jade Emperor's youngest daughter felt bored after staying in the sky for a long time, so she followed her mother down to the mortal world.She saw the suffering of the common people and felt very sympathetic.At the same time, seeing so many loving couples in the world, she also yearns for sincere love.Later, she fell in love with a young man who was kind-hearted, hardworking and simple, so she decided to stay in the mortal world and live with him.The Jade Emperor was very angry when he heard this, and sent his little daughter down to the mortal world, and forbade her to return to heaven.The queen mother felt sorry for her daughter and begged in every possible way, so the Jade Emperor reluctantly agreed to give the poor boy who lit the fire a position as the stove king.From then on, people called the "poor burner" the "Kitchen Lord", and the youngest daughter of the Jade Emperor was "Kitchen King nainai".

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of worship for the Chinese folk "Stove God" or "Stove Lord".When worshiping the Kitchen God, set up the offerings, burn incense and worship, and then drink the wine for the first time. At this time, you must sincerely pray to the Kitchen God. The statue of the Kitchen God is torn off and burned together with the armored horse and treasures, which means sending the Kitchen God to heaven, and the ceremony is successfully completed.The burning of a paper-studded horse is used as a mount for the Kitchen God to go to heaven, and some soybeans and hay are also prepared as dry food and fodder for the Kitchen God and the horse to travel long distances.In addition, burn incense, kowtow, and grab a few handfuls of straw ash from the stove pit and spread them on the ground in front of the stove.After sending off the gods, the gods are brought back on the fourth day of the first lunar month (in other words, New Year's Eve). This is called "receiving the stove" or "receiving the gods".Receiving the Kitchen God is very simple, just replace the old Kitchen God statue at home with a new one.

A few small stone lakes, and the stove was built. Grandpa brought a new statue of the kitchen god and pasted it on the newly built stove. On both sides, there were couplets written by grandpa. ", the second line is "return to the palace to surrender peace", and the horizontal batch is "four seasons peace".After pasting, it can be used after the cement dries.
