He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

This year's hot pot is more enjoyable than last year because there are many more kinds of dishes, and you can also eat a piece of watermelon after finishing it.

After dinner, everyone couldn't help chatting about their plans for the New Year and whether they should go back to the village. Returning to the village has the advantage of returning to the village. After all, it is the home where I have lived for many years, and the village also has a more festive atmosphere. But if she returns to the village, Lu Yan will definitely not be able to live in the same house as Lu Sheng anymore. There will be no place to live during the spring equinox and winter solstice. And the small side room has not yet heated the kang. In the end, I decided that if I didn’t want to go back, I would celebrate the New Year in the county town, which would save me the hassle of going back and forth.

Now that you have decided to stay in the county, you need to start preparing. On the [-]rd of the twelfth lunar month, the county school officially had a holiday, more than half of the shops on the streets were closed, and every household was preparing to go home for the New Year.

Sacrifice to the Kitchen God still has the same process, including eating food to worship the Kitchen God.

This year Lu Yan specially made a lot of fried food, and they could still eat it after Stove Lord finished it.

Among them, Lu Sheng’s favorite food is fried cakes. Lu Yan also specially made two types, brown sugar and bean paste.

Fried cakes are mainly made from dough. You can also use glutinous rice flour, or you can use ordinary flour. Lu Yan has made noodles before using ordinary flour and boiling water, and the outer layer is also glutinous. But today, Lu Yan added glutinous rice flour mainly to stick to Stove King's teeth.

Mix glutinous rice flour and flour, scald the noodles with boiling water, then add glutinous rice flour and knead into dough. Break into small portions, roll into discs, and fill with fillings.

For the bean paste filling, use the red bean paste made the day before. For the brown sugar filling, you need to mix brown sugar and flour to prevent it from flowing out. Wrap the fillings in bread, shape them into balls, flatten them, and fry them in a pan. The small cakes swelled up quickly, and the color changed from white to golden, and finally turned into yellowish brown, and they were ready to be fished out.

Take a bite of the fried cake while it's hot. The crispy outer layer is perfectly combined with the soft and glutinous inside. Whether the filling is bean paste or brown sugar, it's a mouthful of sweetness that fills your mouth with happiness.

The fried cake is really amazing, a deep-fried and sticky dessert that is so full of buffs that you will feel sorry for the preparation if you are not happy after eating it.

Fried cake

This year the beginning of spring falls on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after offering sacrifices to the stove is Lu Yan’s birthday.

Twenty-four, clean the house. Last year, Lu Yan and Lu Sheng sneaked out to avoid working for a day. This year, they still didn't want to work, so they used Lu Yan's birthday as a trick to avoid working.

Sure enough it still worked. Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu were still a little guilty for not celebrating Lu Yan's birthday last year, but Lu Yan didn't take it seriously. This year she didn't plan to go overboard, so she just cooked a bowl of noodles for herself.

Lu Yan originally planned to cook it herself, but it was a bit ridiculous for the birthday girl to cook noodles for herself, so Chunfen volunteered to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for the master and let the master test her learning results.

Of course, Lu Yan couldn't do it. She stood behind the equinox and watched her do it with great interest.

Always remember what Master said during the Spring Equinox: if you want the soup to be white, fry it first. So she fried a poached egg in oil and added water to it. After a while, the soup turned white. When making soup, take out a bowl and put a spoonful of lard, a spoonful of soy sauce and a little salt in the bowl to taste. After the soup is cooked, add the stretched noodles. After the noodles are boiled three times and water is added, pour the noodle soup and pour the ingredients in the bowl. Then add the noodles. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onion and garlic sprouts. The clear soup noodles are ready.

The preparation of clear soup noodles is simple, but the taste is not simple. That spoonful of lard is the soul of the whole bowl of soup, adding a rich flavor. Take the first sip of the soup, which is simple but extremely delicious. The handful of chopped green onions and garlic sprouts added at the end add richness and are the finishing touch to the entire soup. When I ate noodles again, I became more and more skilled at stretching the noodles during the Spring Equinox. The noodles were of moderate thickness and just the right amount of softness and hardness. The fried egg is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It soaks up the soup and has a rich egg flavor.

Soup noodles

Lu Yan was very happy to eat, and felt that her Spring Equinox art had improved a lot: "Not bad, not bad, we are almost able to master the art of Spring Equinox!"

Equinox's face turned slightly red after being praised.

Twenty-five, frozen tofu. The Lu family doesn't need to buy special tofu this year. There are many in the store, including frozen tofu.

Because there was no work for the [-]th day, everyone was driven up by Xu to clean the house on the [-]th day.

Lu Yan followed the example of Mrs. Xu and Mr. Lu, holding a long pole with its head tied with cloth and poking it back and forth in the corners of the roof of the house. She couldn't help but mutter: "What are you doing? "

Lu Sheng answered her: "I'm sweeping away cobwebs."

Lu Yan: "We have only lived in this house for a year, how can it have spider webs?"

Lu Sheng: "Why not? You lived there for a year, didn't you only build it for one year?"

Lu Yan: "Didn't the original landlord also have to sweep the cobwebs every New Year?"

Lu Sheng: "Then what if they don't clean it seriously like you?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Okay, you convinced me.

After digging the roof and corners, I have to change tools to dust the walls, and then sweep, mop, and scrub the floor.

It took one day to finally clean up everything inside and out.

The only thing that is more irritating is the stove, which is difficult to clean because it is smoky and oily all year round. In ancient times, there was no such thing as oil, so soap could not be wasted here.

Lu Yan then thought about the saponification reaction, where alkali reacts with fat to form soap, which shows that alkali can remove oil. What is a ready-made alkali? The vegetation is ashes.

So Lu Yan boiled a large pot of plant ash water and played a role in the cleaning work.

Lu Sheng was so tired after a day's work that he couldn't straighten up and lay motionless on the bed.

Lu Yan walked over, punched Lu Sheng in the lower back.

Lu Sheng had no reaction and only grunted twice.

"What's wrong? You can't move now?" Lu Yan said, "Looking at how fragile you are, you still want to give me a massage. You think so."

When Lu Sheng heard this, he rolled over and sat up. He looked completely different from the dead dog he had just said: "What's wrong? Are you tired too? Why don't you lie down here and I'll hold you down?"

Lu Yan was startled by him: "What's going on with you? Are you okay all of a sudden?"

Lu Sheng: "No, no, I'll be there anytime if you need me." A man can't say no.

Lu Yan narrowed her eyes. The more she heard these words, the more strange she felt. However, the instigator looked at her with a pure face, as if he didn't know what he said was wrong. Lu Yan was overthinking everything.

Lu Yan originally wanted Lu Sheng to press her twice, but now she felt something was wrong. She picked up the book on the table, rolled it up, gave it to Lu Sheng, and left.

Lu Sheng rubbed the arm that was sore from Lu Yan's beating and watched her go.
