Golden Fishing Village

Some people say that after the first day of the first lunar month, the New Year is over.

The real New Year is a few days before the New Year, when farmers rest and workers take a break. Everyone is waiting for the New Year in a lively manner. When the first day of the first lunar month starts, although people have not yet gone to work, they feel that the New Year has passed in their hearts.

During the first lunar month, Ao Muyang visited his uncle and aunt's house. According to his idea, he just went to pay New Year's greetings.

As a result, his uncle and aunt's families were unwilling and insisted that he stay for dinner.

So from the second day of the first lunar month, he ate until the fifth day of the first lunar month, and had a big meal every day.

Now he has become the pride of his relatives, because he bought a large fishing boat and opened a fishing farm, and his reputation in the surrounding towns and villages has suddenly increased.

In addition to his uncle and aunt's family, he also has other relatives who began to come to the door to establish relations. Some relatives who have not been in contact for many years called him in the first lunar month and asked him to come over.

Some relatives he had only heard of from his parents, but had never seen. He never saw them invite him when his parents were alive, and he never saw them come to pay homage when his parents died, so he declined all these invitations.

The fifth day of the first lunar month is an important day in the first lunar month. It is called "breaking the fifth day". According to the Chinese culture of homophonic characters, it is also called "splashing dirt", and the common name is "sending away the poor soil".

On this day, Ao Muyang took Zhong Cang to clean the house at home. According to custom, every household should clean the house from top to bottom on this day to drive away the poor spirit.

He was wiping the window diligently, and the general who was responsible for holding the rag for him suddenly threw away the rag in his mouth and rushed out the door.

The king flower lying on the door was stunned for a moment, moved its ears and listened for a few seconds, and quickly got up and rushed out, which was called a hurry.

Ao Muyang's heart moved, he went out and saw Lu Zhizi squatting at the intersection, giggling and tickling the general.

The general rolled happily in front of her, scratching with his claws and nibbling gently with his mouth. Obviously, he was very happy to see Lu Zhizi again after many days of separation.

The Queen Flower was also very happy, and rushed over and pounced on her. Lu Zhizi screamed, and was knocked to the ground with her suitcase.

Ao Muyang hurried over and pulled her up, and said with a smile: "You're back so early?"

Lu Zhizi pursed her hair that was messed up by the Queen Flower, and said: "Why, you are not welcome?"

Ao Muyang laughed and said: "Warmly welcome, welcome with gongs and drums!"

The Queen Flower wanted to pounce on her, but Ao Muyang pulled it back by the back of its neck and scolded: "Why pounce? What did I teach you?"

When Lu Zhizi taught students, he took one hand after another, but he was very protective of the Queen Flower.

Seeing the aggrieved look of the Queen Flower, she quickly pulled it to her side and said to Ao Muyang: "Don't rush to show off your power. How have you raised the Queen Flower these days?"

Ao Muyang said: "When you asked me to raise it, this naughty child weighed 90 kilograms. Now it weighs 95 kilograms and grows half a kilogram a day. How do you think I'm raising it?"

Lu Zhizi sighed and said helplessly: "Alas, my Queen Flower is a lady. I tried my best to control her food intake and body shape. You fed it for a few days and it can't control its body shape. I have to make it lose weight later."

Ao Muyang suddenly realized: "I said, You, this dog, are like snatching food. You follow people around all day and eat whatever you find. I thought it was born with a big appetite, but it turns out that it is afraid of being hungry. "

Lu Zhizi rubbed his belly and laughed, "I am also afraid of being hungry. I didn't eat well at home during the New Year."

Ao Muyang took her hand and said, "Come on, follow me. I will make you delicious food today."

He soaked glutinous rice the day before yesterday. The rice was sent by Ao Fugui. He said that it was the best glutinous rice brought by his friend from Yunnan and Guizhou. Ao Muyang wanted to use it to make a snack. Lu Zhizi came back just in time.

There is a water mill in the village. He took the soaked glutinous rice and ground it into rice slurry with water. Then he put the glutinous rice slurry in a cloth bag and hung it up to drain the water.

While draining the glutinous rice, he went to get a piece of pig fat.

This was left over from the previous slaughter of the pig. It was the best pig fat without any water. The fascia and blood in it were removed, and it was a white piece.

Ao Muyang quickly chopped up the pig fat. He also chopped up the black sesame and walnut meat that were fried during the Chinese New Year at home. Then he added white sugar and fine sugar, and mixed them together with the pig fat crumbs.

After cleaning up, he touched the glutinous rice flour. It was not sticky or dry, just right.

Lu Zhizi looked at him curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ao Muyang winked at her: "You will know later."

Lu Zhizi asked: "Do you need my help?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You are so virtuous."

Lu Zhizi rolled her eyes at him and ran out to play with the general and the queen flower.

Ao Muyang rubbed the glutinous rice flour, then kneaded a ball in his hand, put it on the panel and patted it into a piece. He pinched some pig fat filling with his other hand, picked it up with his fingers and easily kneaded it into a small ball, and wrapped it in the glutinous rice skin.

In this way, he rolled the glutinous rice ball until it was a dripping circle and stopped, and put it aside.

After a while, a bunch of these small glutinous rice balls appeared on the panel.

Lu Zhizi looked back and laughed: "Ha, I know, glutinous rice balls!"

Ao Muyang laughed and said: "What do you know, this is not glutinous rice balls."

The glutinous rice balls on the panel are indeed very similar to glutinous rice balls, but there are also big differences. First, they are small in size, and the skin is very thin, white as sheep fat, and because Ao Muyang's hands were stained with pig fat when rolling them, the outside of them looks shiny.

After the glutinous rice balls were made, he boiled water.

During the Chinese New Year, he had been using the stove at home. Zhong Cang came to help him light the fire, and soon the water in the iron pot was boiling.

The general smelled the smell of pig fat and came to peek again.

Ao Muyang suddenly reached out and grabbed it, dragging it into the pot: "Come on, are you curious? Here, go in and take a good look."

The steam rose, stinging the general's skin. It struggled hard to run, and a pair of big hands silently reached up and pressed its legs from below.

The general turned his head in despair and saw Zhong Cang's silent face: Fuck you!

It quickly called out to Lu Zhizi, stretching its neck and calling miserably: "Awooo wooo wooo wooo!"

The tone of its voice changed!

Lu Zhizi quickly came over and slapped Ao Muyang's hand away, rolling his eyes and said: "What are you doing? You scared it. It doesn't know anything."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "It has to remember things."

The water in the pot boiled, and he put the dumplings in one by one, stirring the boiling water in the pot with a spoon to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

After a while, the dumplings floated up one by one. After being soaked in water, the appearance of the dumplings became smoother and brighter. The thin glutinous rice skin was almost translucent. As the dumplings jumped in the boiling hot water, you could see the sticky juice flowing inside. It was magical!
