Yan Hua Keqi

Chapter 319

When I got to those sweet carambola trees and looked up, I could see carambola with blue skin hanging among the leaves, shaking when spring came.Relying on their height, several boys stretched out their hands and picked the big carambola that grew in the lower places, then climbed up the tree, picked some larger carambolas that grew in the higher places, and after picking them off, Yan Wei felt that they were almost the same after seeing them. I asked everyone to take it home together.

After returning to Yan's house, Yan Hua went to get a basket, put it in a basket, cleaned it, and then cut it into slices of equal thickness. After each slice was cut, it looked like a five-pointed star, which looked very cute.After Yan Hua inquired about everyone's taste, he took the carambola slices in a white porcelain bowl into the kitchen to marinate. They could be eaten on the spot or left to marinate for a while.

After the sweet carambola is marinated with some ingredients, it becomes very refreshing, and it is simply an appetizer before meals.So for a while, many guests who came to Yan's house joined in, making the carambola picked earlier not enough for everyone to eat. Ouyang Jing and others continued to pick them. Yan Wei, Tan Mingming, and Tan Ziqiong were responsible for cleaning and pickling.

At around 12:30 noon, the New Year's Eve banquet finally began.

The yard and hall of Yan's house were filled with small round tables and small stools. The tables were full of dishes, and the guests took their seats one after another.

Yan Hua invited her friends and classmates to sit at a table with a few cousins. Grandpa Qi was specially invited by Father Yan to join the group of uncles and uncles in the Yan family. They were all old people and had something to talk about.

This day is actually just a matter of eating and drinking, starting at 12:30 noon and continuing to eat until after three o'clock in the afternoon.Of course, Yan Hua and the others didn't eat for so long, and they couldn't drink and talk about the mountains. How could they eat for several hours, but the guests came one after another, and there were continuous guests, so they served the dishes intermittently, Those who finished eating wandered upstairs and downstairs or in the orchard near Yan's house, admiring the pure country style.

Yan Hua also responsibly took her classmates and friends to play in a place with a good view near her home.

Until around four o'clock in the afternoon, the guests began to leave one after another.

Yan Hua is helping her mother sort and pack presents for guests in a room dedicated to storing grain, because it is still in the Chinese New Year—as long as there is no Lantern Festival here, it means that the New Year is still in the past, so there must be Sometime, the guests bring gifts, and when they go back, the host will give them back some gifts, and also stuff two sticks of garlic and two scallions for each person. Happy, giving Cong means hoping that the other party's child will be smart (cong) in reading and so on.

When Yan Hua listened to her mother chattering about the customs while tidying up, she couldn't help laughing.

"This is a gift from your grandpa Qi, take it out for him." Mother Yan handed some New Year's goods in a plastic bag to her daughter and took it out.

Yan Hua looked at them, and found that they were all bacon, pasta, rice and other foods. The green onion and garlic on top were quite interesting, and they were very simple farm gifts.
