Seventy: The vicious female supporting actress struggles daily

Chapter 36

On the second day of the new year, when Jiang Yu got up to cook, she saw three or five small plates on the stove, some with dried dates, some with pastry, some with apples, and another small plate with There are two dumplings, and at the front is a small incense burner with three burnt incense sticks stuck in it.

He took out three lights from the side and inserted them into the fine sand in the incense burner again, and Jiang Yu began to prepare breakfast.

Since it is placed on the stove, it is naturally worshiping the Kitchen God.

The picture of the Kitchen God is pasted on the wall with paste, and there is a couplet on it. The first couplet is "God speaks good things", the second couplet is "The lower realms keep safe", and the horizontal batch is "The head of the family".

The custom in northern rural areas is to enshrine the Kitchen God on Xiaonian Day, because Xiaonian Day is the day when the Kitchen God has suffered all the fireworks in the world for a year, and God will report to the Jade Emperor. Tell God if things are good or bad.

Of course, Jiang Yu didn't know this, Jiang Yan told her this, and she didn't know if it was the case.

After breakfast, Jiang Chuan took the broom to clean the yard. Jiang Yan took down the curtains and quilt sheets at home today, and still had to wash them.

Jiang Yu also can't stay idle. During the Chinese New Year, every household has to prepare a lot of steamed buns. In the past two days, she is preparing to wrap a few pots of steamed buns, all of which are stuffed with cabbage, radish and meat. She wants to steam two pots today and one tomorrow. Add a pot of steamed buns to the pot.

As for the steamed buns, according to Jiang Yan, it takes four or five pots, which means that after steaming these, there is no need to worry about the staple food until the first lunar month.

In Jiang Yu's impression, her parents never prepared these things when she was a child. They usually prepare a large table of dishes at home during the Chinese New Year, and the whole family gathers to eat and drink. As for what to eat tomorrow or even in the first month, it is just ordinary, there is no steamed food at all. Mantou said this.

Of course, maybe the more rural you are, the more you pay attention to these customs, which is a good thing in her opinion.

The 5000-year history of civilization in China, after a long period of development, has countless customs and habits.With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, many people's lives are becoming more and more simplified. She feels it is a pity to discard the customs of the ancestors as dross or feudal legacy.

People can not believe in ghosts and gods, but they can't live without awe, this is her idea.

It was worth it to come here to let her feel the taste of the year again.

The buns and steamed buns for the Chinese New Year are still mixed with wheat flour and corn flour, otherwise the food at home would not be enough.

And because the amount prepared is large enough, the proportion of wheat flour is very low.

"Steamed buns, big buns, second sister, I want to eat big buns." When it was close to lunch, Jiang Chuan ran in from outside. He had already cleaned up the yard inside and out, even the pigsty and chicken coop, Also shovel away the accumulated manure inside little by little, and save the little piglets in the spring of next year.

Jiang Yu had just taken a pot of steamed buns out of the pot at this time. The skin of the buns was yellowish, and there was hardly any white flour, but because Jiang Yu had a good grasp of the proportions, the skin of the buns would not fall apart.

Stuffed a steamed stuffed bun in his hand, and said with a smile: "Snack guy, I'll give you one first, and I'll eat it later when I'm eating."

"Understood..." Jiang Chuan opened his mouth and bit down. In the past, we ate steamed buns at home, and they were full of vegetables. This time, there was a big piece of fat meat in it, and a piece of it was eaten in one bite. The meat splashed in his mouth. You can tell it's delicious.

Jiang Yu was very happy. The little guy's expression was the greatest compliment to her.

Originally, there were only three siblings left in their family, and one pot of steamed buns would be enough, at most two pots, but this year they wanted to send some to the five teachers, so they steamed an extra pot.

The box of pork that He Xun sent was enough for dozens of catties, and the fat meat was about seven or eight catties. This time, she steamed the buns with two catties, and put the rest out to eat slowly.

Two catties of fat meat is enough for people who don't feel oily all the year round to have a good time.

After the steamed buns were cooked in the afternoon, Jiang Yu asked Jiang Yan to help deliver them to the hut. She still had to prepare them at home and continue to work tomorrow.

I will steam the sweet potatoes tonight, and I want to fry two pots of crispy fruits tomorrow afternoon.

The crisp fruit here is not a kind of dessert, but wheat flour and steamed sweet potatoes are mixed together to form a dough, and then made into various shapes and fried in a frying pan. Eggs and sugar are added to it, and the taste is particularly good. Freshly fried, it is purple-red. Take a bite, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is sweet and attractive. It tastes good after cooling down. After reheating, eat it again. The taste is sticky and sweet.

Of course, not everyone can do it. After all, there are a lot of materials inside, and not everyone is willing to put so many valuable things.

The hens at home laid a lot of eggs this year, and He Xun came to give some things from time to time, so the eggs were hardly sold, but the three of them stayed at home to eat.

In the busy day by day, the New Year's Eve comes in a silent snowfall.

In the early morning, Jiang Yu opened her eyes and looked at the window. Light had already come in. When she opened the curtains, the snow-white scene outside came into view. She didn't know when it started to fall. was shrouded in a sheet of snow.

Probably hearing the sound, Jiang Yan also opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed her eyes, "Are you awake?"

"Well, sister, it's snowing outside." Jiang Yu put down the curtains, grabbed the clothes in the middle of the quilt and began to put them on.

Nowadays, there is no global warming, and the rural areas in the north are extremely cold. There is no air conditioning or heating at home. We can only rely on the heated kang that is burned every day for cooking to survive the long winter nights, but the heated kang cannot guarantee warmth all night. , after all, firewood has to be calculated now, and there is hardly any heat left in the bed in the morning.

And we all know that getting up in the morning in winter is a very difficult thing. First of all, the cold clothes are daunting.

Therefore, they are covered with two quilts at home, and the clothes will be placed between the quilts when they sleep at night, so that people will not shiver when they wake up in the morning.

Jiang Yu woke up and Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't continue to sleep. Today is the last day of the year, and the two sisters will get busy when they wake up in the morning, but Jiang Chuan is expected to run out to play with his friends in the village today.

After getting dressed, Jiang Yu came to his younger brother's room, opened a gap, probed in, and saw that the little guy was already awake, waiting to look at her.

"Second sister came to peek again." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Excuse me?" Jiang Yu was amused by his playful appearance.

"I'm sorry, I want to sleep late." Jiang Chuan shook his head, "Second Sister, the bed is getting cold." His tone was aggrieved.

Jiang Yu also knew how difficult it was to get up, and besides, no one would come to visit today, so it didn't matter if she got up late.

"Then continue to lie down, the second sister will burn the kang for you later, don't you want to eat in the morning?"

"I'll eat it at noon." Jiang Chuan has been wandering around the pot for the past few days. He promises to be the first to taste what Jiang Yu does, and he is quite addicted.

　My home has heating, and I hang out at home in fleece pajamas almost all winter.Don't go out, absolutely don't clean up yourself, other kind of lazy.
