The paper boat shines brightly on the sky

"Fu'er, uncle said that the sixteenth is going to send the plague god?"

Zhang Xianyu came early in the morning, "Didn't you send the plague god this year? You also said that you would set up a grand show, and the docks would send the plague god to the place."

Bai Fu'er smiled and said, "I didn't send the plague god this year, that's the Kitchen God I sent."

"What are you doing to send the Kitchen God?"

Zhang Xianyu said that although she has been married to a hundred families for many years, she still has not distinguished the various gods and their responsibilities.

"I sent the Kitchen God to the Heavenly Court. I made so much sugar on the stove that day just to stick to the Kitchen God's mouth and let him go up and not talk nonsense."

Bai Fuer thought these customs were very interesting, "In addition to sending the Kitchen God, we also received the God of Wealth, and we must send the God of Plague in the end.

"The 16th, I want to send out the plague gods. The ones I want to send are spring plague, summer plague, autumn plague, winter plague, and a general manager plague god. At that time, a few paper people will be pricked, and everyone will carry them in the village to parade in the streets.

Then put it on a large paper boat, ignite it and let them float along with the paper boat.”

"Grandpa said that the sugarcane harvest last year was not so smooth, and it should be sent to the plague god to get rid of bad luck. There is also a chance in the village that don't give it to you with great fanfare, so let's go together."

"Another one will go to the village to move, and the dock will definitely be vacated."

Although Zhang Xianyu still didn't understand why there were a few types of plague gods alone, he still said that he would arrange them as soon as possible.

"I've told me the orange you want, I'll go to the sugar making shop first."

As soon as Zhang Xianyu left, Bai Fuer started tossing oranges. This year, just like in previous years, that is, the workshop people rested for a few days on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, and the rest of the time was rushing to work, although there were fewer gifts on the river surface.

There are sugarcane boats, but the sugarcane harvested earlier is still too much, so there is no need to worry about not enough sugarcane.

After General An sent away the candy, the workshop was a little calmer. Bai Changfu arranged to make sugar again. He is now a master in the workshop. He has also improved it based on Bai Fuer, and the effect is better than Bai Fuer.

Better.

The first batch of white sugar came out. Although it was not too much, it was enough to surprise. Bai Fuer couldn't wait to arrange fruit candy immediately. The first one was orange gummy.

He took Caiyun to peel all the oranges out, "Caiyun, next you mash all these oranges into a paste."

Caiyun was full of energy and started working with a smile. Baifuer began to prepare sugar, maltose, starch, ignite the red mud stove, and clean the small pot of sugar she made.

"Girl, is that OK?"

After seeing it, Bai Fuer took out the clean gauze prepared early in the morning and "filtered the juice out."

After a while, the master and servant finally prepared all the materials. Next is the time for Bai Fuer to show off his skills.

Put maltose, sugar, oil and filtered oranges in the pot slowly stir, and then instructed: "Wipe the wooden plate and brush a little oil inside."

Boiling sugar requires patience and no rush at all. A pot of orange juice syrup was boiled for half an hour before it was completely concentrated, and it became a ball. Put it into a wooden plate and press it flat, waiting for cooling.

Taking advantage of this kung fu, Bai Fuer made another pot, but the rock candy used this time was so good that the mold was so good. She specially asked the carpenter to make it. The wooden board had three shapes: round, stars and petals, and they were washed and brushed.

Add oil, add the peeled bamboo sticks, and pour the boiled sugar juice.

At this time, the fudge is fine. Cut it into small pieces and sprinkle a thin layer of cooked rice noodles on it. The task is done.

The orange flavor at the mouth was rich, sweet, soft and chewy. The two of them tasted one piece and were very satisfied.

"Girl, this one is so delicious, I haven't eaten it before."

Bai Fu'er smiled, "It's right that you haven't eaten it. How many years have your girl been waiting for this candy?"

Oh, there are all orange flavors, are the other flavors far away?

It would be better when the orange-flavored lollipops were ready. They took the plate and went to find her grandma. "Grandpa and grandma, come and try the new candy, you can bite it."

"Aunt, we are all here~"

Oh, the boy and girl in the yard, Bai Fuer felt a headache, "I've lined up, two candies per person, and one lollipop per person."

The orange candy was quickly sent down. After tasting it, the children jumped around excitedly, saying it was delicious.

Bailihui and Li Po also tasted it and both said it was OK.

"Is this what I'm going to sell?"

"Um."

It is definitely necessary to sell it, but there are two very important questions: how to extend the shelf life and how to package it?

It's really difficult to solve one problem after another.

Seeing her in a dilemma, Po Li thought she was worried that she would not be able to sell it. "If it really doesn't work, I'll try it first. It's so delicious, it will definitely be easy to sell."

Bai Fuer laughed, "I'm either worried that I can't sell it or I don't know what to use for it. I can't hold it in kraft paper, right?"

So bad.

Li Po suggested, "Isn't there a bamboo weaving workshop in the village now? I asked them to weave some exquisite small baskets, wrap a layer of cloth inside, then wrap the candy in kraft paper, put it into the bamboo basket, one pound per catty, it looks good.

And convenient.”

"If you are afraid that you will lose money if you sell it far, you won't sell it that far. Now your family has a house and a shop in Fucheng, so you can send it to Fucheng to sell it."

The bamboo weaving workshop was run by Lao Zhang and the ones who were assigned to them were all bamboo when they came. Later, they simply opened a bamboo weaving workshop. Lao Zhang was skillful and could also weaving straw weaving hemp weaving, and the things sold well.

Bai Fu'er's eyes lit up, "Grandma, why are you so smart? I just thought about selling it to other places, afraid it will break on the road. I forgot if I really sold it to other places, I would have

Not so many oranges.”

It's terrible to solidify your thinking.

Po Li looked at the lollipop on the plate happily, "Give grandma a flower to make grandma younger."

The plague god was sent to the 16th day of the first lunar month, and every household in the village participated. In the evening, the public said, firecrackers were heard, and the men carried several paper people and plague gods around the village, and then the team rushed through the candy making

The yard stopped at the pier.

The flags were waving by the river, and the three sacrifices were prepared. Bailihui, who had not left the house, hung up the robe of the Duke, wore a Wuchang mask, held a knife in his hand, and sang in his mouth that everyone could not understand the tune, and the movements were always

Extremely exaggerated, sometimes very solemn.

"Send to the God of Plague."

The men carried the five great plague gods into the paper boat, sprinkled paper money in the cross, and were ready to lift the paper boat, and the men who jumped to the end jumped up hard.

The paper boat was launched, Baili Hui's hand was a knife and forked talisman paper. A mouthful of wine was sprayed on it and the talisman paper was ignited instantly. The wrist flipped over and then the talisman paper flew down the paper boat, and the 'boom' sound of the paper man in the paper boat instantly

Burning, the paper boat slowly drifted away

"Oh~~~ The plague god was sent away~"
