"In the history of Chinese coinage, are there any records of the use of stamping technology?"

"No!" This godfather knew very well: "I've never heard of it!"

"Really? Since we in China started casting copper shells in the Shang Dynasty, we have always used casting methods to make currency. So, does this stamped New Dynasty Shengwen Daquan fifty copper coin count as proof that Wang Mang is a time traveler?"

"You do have a richer imagination than me, and you deserve to be more eloquent than me in the literary world." My godfather shook his head and sighed: "This world should be yours..."

"After the Spring Festival, I will go to the capital of Shu to meet my ancestors and uncles. Do my godfather and godmother have anything to tell me?"

"Well, several important cultural relics have been discovered, including the officially completed "Jiachuan Dialect Exegesis", the first volume of "Sichuan Flavors and Interesting Talks", and the fourth edition of "Shuowen Jiezi" Sentence Reading. That's almost enough, right? If not, let's do it again

"Jiachuan Local Skills" bamboo weaving part added?"

"I didn't...that's not what I meant..." Zhou Zhi was left speechless by his godfather's zero-point humanness and sophistication: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything, the things were delivered and let's go!"

On New Year's Eve, we had dinner at the fourth cousin's house, and on the 29th, we had dinner at Zhou Zhi's house. This year, the third sister's boyfriend came to visit, so it was very solemn. Zhou Zhi asked Sun Damao to pick up the tricycle and went to Rongshan Town to pick up the eldest sister.

.

Da Ni was even dizzy from river boats, let alone other vehicles. The three-wheeled motorcycle was ventilated from all sides and could be driven slowly, stopping while walking. Zhou Zhi chatted with Da Ni all the way, and finally pulled her to Jia Chuan.

.

In addition, the eldest cousin, eldest cousin-in-law, third sister, Liu Dachuan, they sit in the small public seat.

My little niece Dongdong was clamoring to take a three-wheeler, and she also sat in front of Zhou Zhi, holding the faucet in her hand. Whenever she passed a car parked on the roadside, she would shout: "Didi - the car is coming!"

"

Why does it have to be a car parked on the side of the road? Because if it is driving, even a three-wheeler can't catch up.

We set off from Rongshan early in the morning and didn't arrive at Jiachuan until after ten o'clock.

Although the eldest lady and her grandmother are only a dozen miles apart, their legs and feet are not very flexible, and they have not been able to see each other for two years. Now when she sees her grandmother, the eldest lady can't help but wipe away her tears.

"Don't drop the beans during the Chinese New Year." Grandma held the hand of the eldest daughter, who was half a parent, and her own lips were trembling: "You have to learn from Dongdong!"

Dongdong was running around in the room, Zhou Zhi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandma, please also seal a red envelope for the eldest lady. I will be happy if I appoint you."

"You're just so thick-skinned!" The eldest lady was so shocked that she burst into tears and laughed: "I don't know what a joke is!"

"I'm going to eat elbows this year." Dad took off his apron and said, "After eating, I went to Tianlou to take pictures. This year I don't have to go to a photo studio. I've also practiced my elbow photography skills, and I'm brave enough to use the airs."

People who use tripods these days must be professionals. When my father saw Zhou Zhi playing with a tripod, he felt that this kid had officially graduated in photography skills.

"Let me help you too, together with Ziyuan." Liu Dachuan wanted to show off.

"No need." Zhou Zhi said: "Third sister, aren't you going to see your classmates? Go quickly, we will have dinner on time at 12 noon!"

At this time, the door became lively, but Auntie, Brother Dayong and Sister Xiaojuaner arrived.

"Sister Xiaojuaner didn't go back this year?" Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "I thought you went back to your hometown."

"Isn't this just a stall? There are still a lot of things to sort out." Today, Sister Xiaojuan'er wore a water-red sweater, a camel-colored thick woolen coat, and micro-flared jeans and high heels.

He wears leather boots and his hair is also permed. He looks like an intellectual in a white coat who works as a hairstylist in Qingshui Noodles Factory, or he wears a long apron with a white hat and white sleeves at the stall. He looks very delicate.

charming.

"Xiaojuan'er may have done it. Now she has delivered goods to several restaurants!" The aunt said happily: "Didn't that restaurant on Ma Street order another batch of pickles two years ago? It cost us all the money.

No, we are busy cooking, and it’s already twenty-nine in a blink of an eye.”

"Oh, we are already so busy. Then I will go to Zaoling Bridge early tomorrow to help."

"Where do I need help from family heirlooms?" Auntie said with a smile: "I have already prepared them. Three steamings and nine buckles are easy."

"Hey hey hey," Zhou Zhile said, "My family will be the same this year."

Three-steamed and Nine-Double is a traditional dish served in the Sichuan “Nine Dou Bowl” banquets in the old days. The most fundamental reason is that it is convenient. It can be prepared on the first day and steamed the next morning. It does not keep the chef busy, and it is also convenient.

Can make a full table.

The arrival of the eldest daughter this year also makes the eldest daughter very happy. They are both the eldest daughters and bear far greater family responsibilities than the other younger brothers and sisters in the family. If my father was raised by the eldest sister, then the eldest daughter and the like

The annual salary used to subsidize the younger siblings in the family, and now it still often subsidizes the next generation of younger siblings.

After a while, the fourth cousin's uncle and the fourth cousin's sister-in-law also arrived. The modified wheelchair can easily go up and down the stairs. Although the fourth cousin's small courtyard is not used most of the time, Zhou Zhi still prepared one for the fourth cousin's sister-in-law.

It was lively again.

When the elders meet, the old Longmen Formation can lead us across the river. Just counting the villagers who have come to visit grandma and their current living conditions is enough for everyone to talk about for several days.

The eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law asked Shang Dongdong to go out quickly. The eldest cousin-in-law still had relatives at her natal family and wanted to bring gifts to visit.

Sister Xiaojuaner had already taken off her coat and went into the kitchen to help with Brother Dayong.

The three-steamed and nine-duck dishes feature both meat and vegetables, as well as soups, but the dishes are not monotonous.

Steamed chowder, crispy meat soup, steamed pork with vermicelli, braised chicken, duck, salty and sweet braised pork belly, steamed elbow, and braised trotters, these dishes are all classic.

And the various flavors can also be fine-tuned.

For example, the steamed chowder can be a simple garlic, green bamboo shoots, heart, tongue, and tripe, or it can be a more high-end seafood, magnolia slices, fungus, and yellow flowers.

For example, the crispy meat soup can be pure crispy meat with taro as the base, or it can be a more advanced "fragrant bowl", crispy meat croquettes, quail eggs and egg skin rolls, with silk ribbons as the base.

The steamed pork can be steamed with rice flour, steamed with bream and chili peppers, and you can choose from a variety of meat and vegetable options.

All these dishes, such as steamed pork with vermicelli, salted braised pork, and pork stuffed with sand, more than ten bowls were prepared yesterday and kept in the refrigerator. During the Spring Festival, guests will come to the door, so you can take them out and add a few more dishes at any time.

The stock was also made in a large pot.

Zhou Zhi specializes in seafood dishes this year, so the steamed chowder uses sea cucumbers sent by the third brother and the sixth sister, plus garlic, green bamboo shoots, heart tongue and belly magnolia slices.

In addition to the crispy meat croquettes, quail egg skin rolls, and silk ribbons, shrimps are also added to the crispy broth.

The chicken is served with cuttlefish, and the duck is served with skin.

These are all semi-finished products that were processed yesterday, and the ingredients were prepared. This morning, they were put into a big bowl, poured with broth and steamed in a pot.

The remaining dishes that require careful preparation are actually braised eel and Dongpo pork elbow.

The elbows were almost cooked in the stock yesterday, and now they can be served as a quick dish.

The braised eel is the eel brought by Hu Sanye. Originally, we should eat "stem fish" during the festival, that is, a large piece complete from beginning to end is the traditional way to open it, but we have no choice but to prepare "stem fish" carefully.
Chapter completed!
