Two hundred and six chapters chaotic new year
The new year has been turned forward, and after the New Year has passed, it is immediately followed. The more you go forward every day, the more the New Year atmosphere in the banyanshu Village becomes.
It was just the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and every morning, the village was filled with the fragrance of glutinous rice, which was soft and glutinous, making people just think about intoxicating it. It was the hard-working housewife who had already started making rice.
Rongshu Village has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant climate. The rice and glutinous rice produced are naturally civilized far and near. Especially with a large grain of glutinous rice here, it has become a local feature.
This kind of glutinous rice is different from other rice. It has a long rice ray on the rice husk. At first glance, it really looks a bit like a wheat ray. After drying, threshing, and grinding the husk, you can see rice grains that are larger than ordinary glutinous rice.
As long as this kind of glutinous rice is held in the hand, you can smell a faint glutinous fragrance floating in the air. The crystal clear rice grains are like pearls. Pick one into your mouth and bite it. The sticky rice grains can immediately stick people's teeth.
During the Qingming Festival, this rice is the best raw material for making five-color glutinous rice. During the Spring Festival of the twelfth lunar month, it becomes the raw material for making rice. Every household will use the new glutinous rice that has just been harvested this autumn to make rice, so the aroma of glutinous rice floating in the air becomes stronger.
The night before, the housewife at home chose the clean glutinous rice, soaked it in a bucket, and waited to steam it the next morning. Like glutinous rice, the glutinous rice used for rice is similar to the production process. The difference is that the rice has many different processes.
Just when the glutinous rice is about to come out, add some freshly boiled lard paste to make it melt and permeate every grain of glutinous rice. After the aroma of glutinous rice is mixed with the smell of lard paste, you can leave the pot and pour it onto a cool mat.
The glutinous rice that has lard cream will soon spread on the mat and will not mix into a large ball like ordinary glutinous rice. In this way, after several days of turning and drying, the glutinous rice will turn into dried glutinous rice grains to be considered as completing the preliminary process.
At this time, when you look from the manor, you can see that almost every household in the village is drying with white glutinous rice grains. Looking around, the same white clouds float on the roof of the farmhouse, which looks quite spectacular.
Originally, Cen Jiahua didn't know what these were. She asked others curiously and then she realized that it was to make rice. In the past, she bought the finished product in the market to buy rice. Jiahua had never seen how to make it. She couldn't help but feel itchy.
"Fatty, can we make rice flowers too?" Lai Pang Hong pointed at the white clouds up and down.
"I know how to do this, but it requires a lot of tools. There isn't in the kitchen." The fat man said in a hint of embarrassment.
"There is no problem with this. I'll buy what I need. We have a delicious New Year on the mountain." The manor business has been good recently. Cen Jiahua naturally felt a little rich and generous.
"It's not necessary. Then we will borrow it from the people at the foot of the mountain." Pang Hong saw Cen Jiahua saying that he wanted to buy one, and quickly stopped him.
These things are only used once or twice a year. They are not just about living at home and just trying them out. There is no need to make a big fuss.
"I've left the preparations for you in the good time. Just let Ge Yazhou buy the glutinous rice you need." Cen Jiahua once again turned into a hand-off manager and threw it to Pang Hong and Ge Yazhou.
The next morning, the fragrance of glutinous rice wafted out of the kitchen of the manor, which surprised Cen Jiahua. It seemed that this Pang Hong was still quite fast.
However, when drying glutinous rice grains, there is a big problem, because this is on the mountain, not in the village. In the village, people just put glutinous rice on the roof to prevent poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry. However, on the mountain, there are birds everywhere, and even the hundreds of pigeons raised in the manor is a big disaster.
The glutinous rice was dried on the roof of the small building. If no one looked at it, I would probably have finished playing.
As a last resort, Cen Jiahua had to move her sunbathing place from the balcony to the top floor, and watch the glutinous rice grains there. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and it was sunny for several consecutive days. The originally soft glutinous rice grains were quickly dried up.
Most people only start making rice flowers on New Year's Eve, but Cen Jiahua doesn't care about that much. Seeing that the glutinous rice grains have been dried, he immediately started to prepare for Pang Hong.
Choose a clean large pot, pour in the unused lard paste, and then slowly heat it over medium heat. Wait until the oil temperature is 80% and smoke starts to emit smoke, start putting a handful of glutinous rice into it.
As soon as the glutinous rice grains were put in, they immediately boiled inside. The glutinous rice grains were quickly fried to fluffy and then floated on the oily surface. The glutinous rice grains, which were originally dark after being turned on and sun, instantly turned into snow-white pieces after being fried, which made people feel very magical.
In this way, when one pot of fried rice, several kilograms of glutinous rice were fried into a large basket of rice. At this moment, the aroma of fried rice was mixed with the aroma of glutinous rice, which made people feel it from a distance.
Grab a handful of rice with a little warmth and stuff it into your mouth. When you bite it, your mouth is crispy and soaked in the smell of lard. It is really a good choice. Compared with the dried rice made from a rice bowl machine, these rice fried in lard are definitely of high quality.
The matter is not over here. Then we have to boil sugar water so that the loose rice flowers can be bonded together and made into a suitable shape. For many people, this process is not so easy. Generally, if the sugar water is not boiled well, the rice flowers will not be bonded and become loose rice flowers.
The heat should be slow, the pot should be clean, the ratio of water to sugar should be paid attention to, and the degree of boiling should be tightly controlled, so that the success will be considered the beginning. Fortunately, Pang Hong has practiced it, and he added the fried rice into the soup very smoothly, and then stirred it evenly with his hands.
Then put the rice with sugar water mixed into a wooden box, spread it evenly, and then compact it with a wine bottle. After cooling it a little, you can use a knife to cut the rice that has condensed into pieces into pieces of 8bsp. At this point, even if the sugar lard rice with Rongshu Village is made, you can chop it in large pieces.
Cen Jiahua took one and bit it in her mouth. It was still crispy and had a sweet smell.
The taste of talent is very different again.
This kind of white corn has always been a good product for gifts to relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. Many people use this pack of 16 yuan corn to return gifts to others during the Spring Festival. Of course, Jiahua does not need to give gifts to others for the time being, so the first batch of rice flowers made today were all given to employees to eat, which is also one of the benefits that will soon begin before the New Year.
In addition to making rice, every household still has a lot of preparations to do. After all, this year only once a year. Compared with the increasingly lighter New Year flavor in the city, Jiahua feels that the rural flavor has become much stronger in the past few years.
As the twelfth lunar month comes, we begin to see many families starting a comprehensive cleaning to clean up their own unused objects. It seems that everyone has to clean the entire house overnight before they can stop.
Since the beginning of this year, due to the impact of farm stays, many families in Shu Village have increased significantly. In addition, the year's good season, not only did the rice yield not reduce, but the sales of winter vegetables are also quite gratifying.
The increase in income has made the people more money on hand, so they have begun to pay attention to the preparations for New Year goods. As the years approached, villagers were rushing to the county market, and they could squeeze the public minibuses all over the place. If it weren't for the Spring Festival, those transportation management and traffic police were more diligent in checking, I was afraid that a 19-person minibus could be stuffed into thirty or forty people before they could stop.
Of course, there are more people riding their motorcycles to the market. The road between the county town and Rongshu Village is full of busy figures. People have bought a large amount of New Year's goods from the county town, and the entire village is slowly approaching the Spring Festival.
Candies, firecrackers, fruits, new clothes, all kinds of tobacco and alcohol, etc., the villagers almost moved the entire grocery store home.
Those wealthy families are even more amazing, including clothes machines, refrigerators, TVs, etc., and various electrical appliances. In addition to home use, many of these electrical appliances are also used to improve the equipment of their own farmhouses and attract more tourists.
After tasting the sweetness of the farmhouse, everyone has more ideas about further development and is more proactive in improving various conditions.
There are also some farmers who raise New Year pigs at home, and they have already started to kill New Year pigs. Every morning, you can hear the sound of slaughtering pigs. Originally, the butchers had already killed pigs with electric shocks, and there were basically no screams of slaughtering pigs. However, farmers killed pigs themselves, but they were white knives at home with red knives!
After killing the New Year pig, the heart, liver, large intestine and other intestines were used as a dish on the same day, and the rest of the parts were arranged. Naturally, a few pig's trotters were hung first, smoked on the stove, and kept for later eating. The semi-fat and lean pork was cut into strips, poured into the small intestine, and made into the hot intestine. The lean meat was made into barbecue pork and then stored in the refrigerator; the ribs would be made into wax ribs and wait for the next year to eat.
At this time, people who often walk around the village can see that many families have a large number of wind intestines, ribs and pork strips hanging on the eaves. You can tell at a glance that these families have killed New Year pigs, and these things floating in the wind are announcing to people the approaching of the Spring Festival.
As spring approaches, there are some very important manifestations in the countryside, that is, more and more people are holding wedding events. Every now and then, some people marry their wives or daughters, and they are playing tricks and playing, which is very lively. Sometimes, when it comes to good days, there are several wedding banquets held in the village.
During this period, every time Cen Jiahua saw Lao Chen, he could always see that his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he seemed to be very tired.
It’s no wonder that as the village chief, his old man basically had to come forward for every banquet. After drinking for several consecutive days, even the Iron Man couldn’t stand it. In addition, the construction of the square did not stop due to the approaching year-end approaching, but instead he was more and more aggravated.
After all, there may be light rain after the New Year. In order not to affect the construction progress, the silt in the pond must be dug out before the Spring Festival. After compacting and leveling the land, there is no need to worry about even a little rain in the future.
Therefore, Comrade Chen, the main person in charge, naturally worked a little harder. Who asked him to join Cen Jiahua, the boss? After Cen Jiahua threw the main plan and design to the construction teams, he then slipped back to the manor and started preparing New Year's goods.
The villagers' busyness also affected Cen Jiahua, and he is now in a mess. Because the old man decided that his family would celebrate the New Year at the manor this year, and then the whole family would come to the manor. So, the responsibility for preparing New Year's goods this year fell on Cen Jiahua.
Fortunately, the small building is newly built, and there is basically no sanitation to Cen Jiahua clean it. Everything in the furniture is new, just a little cleaning is enough. The more troublesome thing is to prepare food. After all, there are more than a dozen people in the family. During the Spring Festival, I am afraid that there will be a lot of fruits alone.
Wu Fang could prepare some of the big green dates. He heard that some late-ripening varieties in his orchard were just on the market, and these fresh fruits could be tasted by the family. Fortunately, my mother was afraid that Cen Jiahua would not know, so she bought them less or missed them, so she simply bought them in the provincial capital and sent them to the manor.
However, it is also a tedious thing for Cen Jiahua to put the New Year goods he received in a classified manner every day. Just tearing open the plastic bags every day is a troublesome thing.
What made Cen Jiahua even more depressed is that Xu Ying has always been with her parents at home because she is approaching the end of the year, and she has never even been able to come to the manor once. Cen Jiahua just meets her online every day, and she thought to herself that she must step up her actions as soon as possible and let her move openly into the manor.
But these are all off-topics. Cen Jiahua's current purpose is to prepare for the New Year, otherwise this Spring Festival would be a mess. Fortunately, the family did not plan to celebrate the Spring Festival with a traditional flavor. Many things do not need to be made by themselves, and they can buy them in the market. Otherwise, Cen Jiahua would not be able to make those things even if he was exhausted.
As schools of all levels begin to take holidays, the year is getting closer.
