New Year’s Eve

The 30th of the twelfth lunar month

Lunar New Year's eve

The sky is clear and clear.

The dark green branches and leaves reflect the sunlight, making people squint their eyes unconsciously.

The breeze blows gently, and the branches of the camphor branches not far away are swaying slightly, and even the red lanterns under the eaves also echo in the distance.

The yellow hay on the ground is covered with dark green leaves. On this cold day, the vigorous vitality suppresses the deadness under your feet, giving those who look from a distance a busy and prosperous scene.

Early in the morning, Song Huan was pulled out of bed by his brother and went to the door to get a new mahogany sign.

According to folklore, if you place peach wood or peach branches at the door, dirt will not come near your door.

Of course, the fact that peach wood is made into cards and talismans are engraved on them is also the result of market demand.

This thing was given to Song Huan by shopkeeper Lu, saying it was leftover from the restaurant.

Since the last carbon incident, the relationship between Song Huan and Shopkeeper Lu is no longer the ordinary supplier and dealer relationship before.

Therefore, Song Huan also learned that couplets are not posted here on New Year's Eve, but only spells are painted on the door, or a new peach wood spell sign is hung like this.

"Why don't you stay and have some food before leaving? My brother and I are not that lively either."

"Sister, sister, can I eat the green one too?"

I once learned a poem, and one of the lines in it is "Always replace old talismans with new peaches." Before the Spring Festival couplets appeared, people generally used peach talismans.

When the two of them heard this, it was okay. They shook their heads quickly, and the tearful boy said, "We still have to go home to help. We just come here when we have time. There is no need to eat."

Song Huan packed three bowls of rice, two bowls for Song's father and Song's mother, and one bowl for the shrine.

So this dish was added temporarily.

Song Huan took it, took a look at it, and asked, "Ciba?"

Seeing this, Song Huan hurriedly took out two and a half rabbits from the kitchen, one for each person.

Seeing that they didn't do anything, Song Huan just stuffed a handful of cakes into each of them, and also took out the cakes and gave them a piece each.

The tearful boy smiled and said, "Tomorrow is a new year. Today I will bring you some food cooked by the elders in the family."

Then use the roasted glutinous rice cake with a slightly yellow surface to wrap the oil residue and pickled cabbage.

She loves glutinous rice cake the most during the Chinese New Year. It is soft, glutinous and smooth, and eating it in pig's trotter soup is her favorite.

Later, cook the thin slices of bacon mixed with white rice to make bacon rice.

Adi said on the side, while Song Huan listened on the side, burning paper money in his hand.

Seeing this, Liang Dayong and the tearful boy swallowed their saliva, and finally looked away, drinking hot water to cover up the saliva that flowed out.

Song Huan himself took a basket from the cabinet on the side. The basket contained melon seeds, peanuts, red dates and Huaishan barley cake wrapped in oil paper, and served it to the two of them.

They are here to deliver things, not to catch the autumn wind.

It is not good for the two of them to refuse, and it is not good for them not to refuse.

There was a cry from behind, "Song Ya, Song Ya?!"

Song Huan said happily, "I'm worried about not having anything to eat. This food is good."

The siblings have cleaned their parents' graves, and when it's time to eat, they can use them to pay homage to their parents and the ancestors in the shrines.

Then use fresh rabbit meat to fry spicy rabbit meat cubes, then cook a pot of radish and green vegetable soup, add a spoonful of lard, it is also a delicious dish.

Song Huan responded, and the tearful boy and Liang Dayong followed the voice and saw Song Huan waving.

What does it mean that they stayed here specially to eat?

You can't be too shameless!

The two of them felt that they could not stay any longer, and Song Ya's enthusiasm made them a little overwhelmed.

According to the rules here, today we will open an ancestral hall to worship our ancestors.

It was for the glutinous rice cake they gave her just now. She wanted to eat the latter more than the other two dishes.

After all this time, the tearful boy and Liang Dayong still don’t know what the two siblings eat?

This was the first time Adi saw something like glutinous rice cake, and he was extremely curious.

Finally, after Adi chatted for a quarter of an hour, the two of them went home. At this time, Fu Yuanzhi had already placed a brazier under the table, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly.

The two of them entered the courtyard and walked over directly.

Fu Yuanzhi shook his head.

On the way back, the two of them turned into the vegetable garden and pulled out a radish and some green vegetables.

Soon the meal will be ready.

Of course, this is an ordinary family. For a large family, it is more straightforward. Just make a large plaque, which is grand and classy.

"Sister, sister, how can I eat this for nothing?"

After the sacrifices at the shrine, we went to Song's father and Song's mother's side. It was not so serious here. After all, they were biological parents. My brother spoke very casually and said whatever came to mind. There was no logic, but it was better than being relaxed.

There was a talisman painted on the door of Song's house before, but if you don't look carefully, the traces are basically gone. The original person didn't pay attention to it before, so she didn't quite understand it. Who knew that the talisman had this function.

Her ears finally calmed down, and Song Huan was relaxed and happy, slicing thin slices of bacon in her hand.

In the end, Song Huan dismissed him with one sentence.

"Sister, sister, why is this green?"

Finally, there is another dish of fried sauerkraut with oil residue.

Seeing this, Song Huan could only threaten the two of them with a fishing net, and then the two of them went down the mountain with candies and cakes in their pockets and the rabbit in their hands with blushing faces.

After hanging the mahogany sign, Fu Yuanzhi went to the kitchen to light the fire, while Song Huan and Adi went to take care of Song's father and Song's mother's grave.

The siblings first knelt under the shrine, held incense in their hands and bowed three times, and then burned paper money while saying auspicious words for the blessing of their ancestors.

When Song Huan saw Fu Yuanzhi's agreement, he went into the kitchen and took out the cake stand.

Fu Yuanzhi, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared and continued his previous work in the kitchen.

But the Song family has no ancestral hall and no clan members.

On the table are spicy rabbit meat cubes, bacon rice, and fried sauerkraut with oil residue.

Stir-fry sauerkraut with oil residue, add two garlic cloves, a few chili peppers, and slowly fry the sauerkraut over low heat until fragrant.

The two refused, "You can't take this! We just gave you a few glutinous rice cakes. If you give us the meat, we will be beaten when we go back! We can't take this."

The cake stand is welded with iron bars as thick as a little finger.

"Sister, sister..."

Of course, we don’t have this condition now, but if it’s roasted and the glutinous rice cakes are soft with sauerkraut in the middle, that’s a perfect idea!

The two followed Song Huan's sister and brother into the main room, and Song Huan asked her brother to pour hot water for them to drink.

Seeing this, Song Huan asked, "Have you baked glutinous rice cakes?"

White rice porridge, or white and fat dry rice, is much better than the rice bran cake they usually eat.

What my brother didn't notice was that Song Huan would also burn paper money for a small soil bag.

The tearful boy nodded, "I thought you probably didn't have it, so we sent it to you. This green one is added with mugwort."

Song Huan pointed to the charcoal pot under the table, "Shall we put the rice cake rack here to bake rice cakes?"

The taste makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

It looks like a small table, except that the table top is not a flat surface, but a hollow surface with four parallel iron bars.

Put the rice cake rack on the charcoal fire, and put the rice cake on it. The charcoal fire can pass through the gaps between the iron bars to bake the rice cake until it becomes soft. As for whether the skin is soft or crispy, it all depends on your own requirements.

During the baking process of the glutinous rice cake, if you want to eat soft skin, turn it over frequently.

If you want it to be crispy, you have to leave it to bake longer.
