#我要上头条 "My hometown my year is the taste of the year." #
There is a saying in the countryside: "Little baby, don't be hungry, after the eighth year is the year."
The ingredients of Lapa Porridge in that era were simple, with red river beans, soybeans, mung beans, black beans, lentils, peas, with some millet, wheat kernels, corn kernels and other grains, soaked in water overnight in advance and then boiled up, after drinking Lapa Porridge, every household moved to prepare for the New Year, the little partner began to pull the little finger to calculate the arrival of the twenty-third year of the Wax Moon, in the middle of this time, the broken babies who returned from school shuttled through the laneways of the village, passionately, excitedly, and happily passing on the owner's pig killing, The sound of Pickle soy beans making tofu and other New Year goods.
【Steamed Bun for The New Year】
The twenty-third day of the waxing moon is the day of the sacrifice of the stove, the legend that the stove god will report to the Jade Emperor the good and evil of each family, the Jade Emperor will decide whether to reward or punish the family next year according to the report, this night, the mother will burn the oil swirling lump, light up the incense wax to offer in front of the stove god, hoping that the stove god will say more good words, the next year the family is smooth, no wonder the stove god is written in the middle of the "head of the family", both sides write "the heavens say good things, return to the palace to descend auspicious."
【Soil Cultivation Room】
On the twenty-fourth day of the month, the family will sweep the walls of the house, and in the early morning, they will start to be busy, move the pots and pans to the door, put a large pile of messy, most of the houses with earthen wood structures are stoves and kang, and the walls and the roof of the vine barn are blackened by smoke. When sweeping the house, wrap the top of the head with a scarf and wear a torn straw hat, squint your eyes, hold your head high, hold up a broom stick tied with sorghum, sweep the black dust and spider webs on the wall and the roof of the shed, sweep the horns clean, and begin to spread the wall with soaked "white good soil".
The gray-white "white good soil" was dug up between the clay layers on the steep slope of the village's east ditch, smashed into small pieces before the wall was put into a basin, once poured full of water soaked, soaked and stirred with hands, added water to adjust into a thin paste, took the bristle brush and dipped the gray and white water evenly on the gray-brown mottled wall, a little damp and cold room suddenly lit up, it seems that the fatigue of the year has been swept away, and the desire for the new year's joy and the next year's conditions still arise in the heart.
【Make tofu, tofu skin】
The second day after sweeping the house is the twenty-fifth day of the Waxing Moon, this day began to make tofu, the father's cousin Qiang Uncle and our village, he made tofu is a good hand, usually do tofu to walk the streets and alleys to change tofu, every year to help our family to make a load of tofu, the mother every time more than thirty pounds of soybeans, can do seventy or eighty pounds of tofu, tofu will be done after the uncle's family, the aunt's family is half, the mother soaks beans, grinding materialSmith I will follow the cart to pull firewood, shoulder the burden to carry water to help. With the sieve gong through the slurry slag is a hard work, but also a patient work, over the good slurry began to burn the pot, soy milk rolled out after pouring into the porcelain urn, after a little cool, Uncle Qiang skillfully began to use plaster to dot tofu, tofu solidified, on the sieve package halfway first give me a foreign porcelain bowl tofu brain, the fragrance still exists to this day.
【Pig Killing】
During the waxing moon, the village often kills pigs, which is also a local custom, raising grass pigs for a year is also the largest income in the family, the family all year round, from agricultural busy to idle, soil cultivation pigs often maintain one or two pigs, most of them are a big one small, the big fattening small is also close to a hundred pounds, so the benefit of raising is not to rest, from the beginning of the local black soil pig to the long white strip continued for many years.
Pig-killing craftsmen are very popular on waxing moon days, often have to greet in advance, most of the pigs raised in that era are close to three hundred pounds, the craft of killing pigs determines the color of the pork after the opening, generally please are a few years or even more than ten years of pig slayers, the second wool craftsman is not afraid to easily let "go to battle".
Mainly there is a mistake in the shooting, a knife did not touch the heart, the pig did not kill well, the blood was not released, the sale was not good and the price was wrong, there were occasional killing pigs after bloodletting, the knife had not been drawn, and the "suspended death" pig turned over violently, kicked over the blood basin, and injured people everywhere, which would be regarded as extremely unlucky on the day of the waxing moon.
That will be people all year round can not see the oil and water, the price of pork plate oil and fat meat is expensive and sell fast, especially the fat and flesh of more than two inches thick is often robbed and empty, the pig killer has cut the pork, and the main household pig is sewn into the water for low wages.
I remember one year my father bought a pig's head from the pig killer to come back for the New Year, the soldering iron burned red and scalded the pig hair, removed a little fat meat wrapped radish dumplings, the rest of the cooking after stuffing a porcelain pot, radish cabbage boiled tofu put a large spoon, after a meat addiction.
【Meeting】
On the twenty-eighth day of the 28th month, I will go to the county or the annual meeting on Puhua Street, sometimes I will sell the big rooster that I have raised for a year, and use the money sold to buy some New Year goods, and the days are difficult, and the "nine-hole lotus vegetables" in the South River Beach are indispensable every year.
First, the "nine-hole lotus dish" is silkless and slag-free, crisp and tender, and everyone loves to eat it.
Second, the lotus "out of the mud without staining", the white fat lotus root "through the outside straight" is also the spiritual sustenance of personality.
【Steamed steam
Steamed Steamed Steamed Bun will choose in the twenty-ninth day of the Waxing Moon, steamed steamed steam
I set up a wood fire to cook the pot, scared the atmosphere did not dare to come out, patiently sat on the stove fire waiting, the bowl in the pot in the pot under the impact of the air flow in the boiling water pot issued a burst of "clucking" "clucking" sound quite good, after the pot will first take out the white and round steamed bun to the stove god first, with relatives to go out to return the gift of about a dozen pots, from the morning until the evening, red bean buns, radish cabbage buns, round egg buns, steamed after cooling, and then put in the black porcelain urn to store, can be eaten until the fifteenth day of the first month.
【Cannon Fight】
The thirtieth day of the waxing moon will invite the ancestors to go home, paste the couplet, wrap dumplings at night to keep the Chinese New Year's Eve, when I was a child, I heard that "Nian" is a fierce monster, every year Chinese New Year's Eve party comes out to hurt people, the monster "Nian" is most afraid of red, the fire and cannons are exploded, the lights in the village are bright, the cannons are continuous, the "Nian" beast is frightened, it will jump in a hurry, and the Chinese New Year's Eve also keep the continuation of life.
