What a cheating husband

Chen Qing didn't know that the villain started to make trouble again, and was still busy grinding the soaked beans into pulp.He and Brother Yang took over this strength work, and the two of them chatted while grinding without feeling tired.

"You take a break, I'll do it when I come." Chen Qing took out a Tanggua from his arms and handed it to Brother Yang, really caring for him like a child.

Brother Yang took it with a smile, pinched a flat and round sugar melon, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it with a bang.There are some tiny air bubbles in the candied melon, which tastes crispy, sweet and crispy, with a unique flavor.In particular, Chen Qing boiled the fire just right, unlike Brother Yang who boiled the sugar a little bit bitter, Chen Qing also sprinkled sesame seeds on the outside, the center is hollow, the skin is less than five cents thick, it tastes not only crispy and sweet but also has sesame seeds mellow.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'll help you with the work too." Liang Duoduo ran over with a happy smile, and stretched out his plain white hands to help Chen Qing push the mill.

"While eating candy with your aunt, it's so heavy that you can't push it." Chen Qing slapped her little hand away, and drove away with a smile.

"I think you must be eyeing this sugar melon!" Li Pingyang spread out the oiled paper with a smile, and shared the food with Liang Duoduo.

"I still have it. If you want to eat, each person will take a pack back later." Chen Qing smiled and frowned, as if he knew you were greedy for a long time.

"Thank you, auntie." Liang Duoduo squinted his eyes and smiled, his teeth were much better than Brother Yang's, and he chewed them happily.

After lunch, the whole family got together to play a few small games. Chen Qing was not lucky, and he didn't dare to waste money. He only played for fun, and sat behind Brother Yang to watch him play cards.

Liang Zijun leaned over and handed him a few pieces of silver, and said with a smile, "Just play around, if you don't have enough, then ask me for it."

It's not good for Chen Qing to embarrass him in front of everyone with 20 taels of silver, so he just took it and thanked him sullenly, "Xie Dongjia"

Shao Fengzhi watched secretly from the side, took a note, found an opportunity to call Chen Qing to the second hall, and whispered this and that.

Liang Zijun has been sneaking eyes since Chen Qing was called away, and of course he couldn't hear what he said, but it's just that he finally got his wish at night.Chen Qing obediently let Liang Zijun squeeze the balls and flatten them, and never mentioned the matter of reneging on his promise and gaining weight.

It's just that I don't know how much willingness I have in my heart. Although Liang Zijun feels a little guilty, he doesn't dare to indulge Chen Qing anymore.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are slaughtered to cut the meat of the new year.The two piglets raised by Chen Qing were not enough to kill for meat, so Liang Zixian ordered these pigs from the farm early in the morning.

Two fat and fat pigs were carried by the farmer early in the morning, along with three rams, ten chickens, ten ducks, five geese, and three rabbits.There is also a little wild game, but they are all sent by Shitou.

The butcher sharpened his knife, and as soon as the lunch was ready, he tied the pig to a four-hoof stand and put it on a low table. A large basin was placed in front of the low table to collect the blood. The sharp knife pierced the chest three inches below the neck, and the heart burst. When the sharp knife was pulled out, a large stream of bright red and warm pig's blood gushed out.

The fat pig didn't die until it took half a stick of incense to howl, and the moment the belly was ripped apart, even the older Li Hongmei turned pale.

The two girls were driven into the back room early in the morning and were not allowed to peek at them. Brother Yang was also afraid of seeing blood, so he avoided them early.Chen Qing was used to this bloody slaughter, so he and the men were busy carrying the cut pork with a calm demeanor.Shao Fengzhi is used to being a pungent master, and at this time he was using a large pot to boil water and prepare to cook meat.

It is also near noon when pigs are slaughtered, sheep are slaughtered, skinned, plucked, and a row of poultry and livestock are sorted out one by one.

Shao Fengzhi's stewed pork dish that has been stewed for an hour is already full of fragrance, and the stewed goose with potatoes in another pot is also faintly fragrant.

There is also a pot of stewed pig's head, trotters, and pork belly, plus a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms.The remaining two big pots fried a few plates of vegetables, mixed with a pot of shallots and tofu, which was refreshing and relieved the greasy.

After noon, the whole family had a lively lunch. Although the adults were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs, they were satisfied with a mouthful of delicious meat.

The two little ones, plus Brother Yang, had already smacked their mouths early in the morning, and at this moment they were clutching their stuffed stomachs and yelling that they couldn't eat any more.With Chen Qing around, there would naturally be less than three and a half babies.

Ever since he finished packing the internal organs, Chen Qing picked up pig lentils (pancreas) and pork kidneys (kidneys), cut up fat and thin pork belly, marinated them with oil, salt, onion and ginger for a quarter of an hour, and ordered them when he didn’t need his help. The charcoal basin is skewered with bamboo sticks and eaten.

Three hungry gluttons immediately gathered around the charcoal basin, Yang brother followed Chen Qing's example and grilled meat, and the two younger ones helped put on skewers.

The kebabs are grilled sizzling and oily, fat but not greasy, sprinkled with cumin and sesame seeds, not to mention how fragrant it is.Roasted until slightly burnt, take a bite of the salty and hot pork kidney, the two girls don't like to eat it, but Yang brother took a bite and tasted it, and stuffed the rest into Liang Zixian's mouth.

The smell of barbecue here has attracted everyone to look forward to it early in the morning, but there is a lot of work in hand, so I have to endure the hunger and go around.

Liang Zijun ran over and snatched the pork loin from Chen Qing's mouth, stared wide-eyed and even said it was delicious, he is the most greedy person, he wants to try anything he has never eaten before, Chen Qing sees that he likes to eat, so he eats it The pork loin was roasted and handed to him to eat slowly.

The whole family has work, and Chen Qing is not only busy stealing, even a few men are busy picking up raw meat, Chen Qing and Brother Yang want to get up to help after eating for a while.In the end, Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her granddaughter and waved her hand to let Chen Qing take care of the daughter. There was not much work left, and there were enough people to clean it up.

Chen Qing went back to the yard and took the shiitake mushrooms, soaked them in hot water and diced them, and roasted them together with the meat.Then remove and drain the freshly cooked chicken wings, chicken feet, and chicken necks, and split the trotters in half.The already cooked meat was roasted like this, not to mention the two small ones, even Chen Qing himself was drooling.

After a big barbecue meal, each belly was rounded. Chen Qing smashed garlic, poured a little soy sauce, added a little salt and water to taste, cut a plate full of three-layered pork belly, and dipped it in the greasy sauce. Taste a piece, not to mention how delicious it is.

Therefore, during the dinner, the four greedy people had long been unable to eat, and slipped off the table to digest after taking a bite of each dish.Liang Zijun had a lot of resentment for not having the barbecue, Chen Qing couldn't bear the bitter eyes, so he had to light another charcoal basin for everyone to eat.

The three helpers will also come over this time, clamoring to show their talents and cook top-quality food for parents.

In Xia Kingdom, cattle and sheep are the first-class meat, and the price is more expensive than the same pork. "Horse, cow, sheep, pig, dog, and chicken" and other six animals are ranked higher than pigs, and they are also delicacies that can only be enjoyed by nobles.

In the past, there was a saying that "the princes do not kill cattle for no reason, the officials do not kill sheep for no reason, the scholars do not kill hogs for no reason, and the common people do not eat precious things for no reason". Eat a variety of meat.But most of the farmers are poor, and they can only eat meat once during the New Year's Eve, so this pork is a common delicacy on the farmers' table.

It is considered extravagant to buy three sheep and slaughter them on New Year's Day like the Liang family's. Didn't you see that there is no mutton on the table today?Mutton is also occasionally eaten in the Liang family as a tonic in winter.

Bathing on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is called "washing Fulu", so there is "27 to wash away guilt, 28 to wash sloppy", so these two days should concentrate on bathing and laundry to get rid of bad luck for a year and prepare for the new year in the coming year.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, hair your face.Steamed rice cake, because of its homonym for "Nian Gao" and its varied taste, has almost become a must-have food for every household.On this day, the Liang family steamed all kinds of rice cakes, including square-shaped yellow and white rice cakes, which symbolize gold and silver, and imply the meaning of getting rich in the New Year.There are red date rice cakes made from glutinous rice and jujubes, minced fruit rice cakes, and sweet cakes made with sugar, lard, and sweet-scented osmanthus.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big offering.Treating death as life is not only filial piety, but also a virtue of respecting and respecting the elderly. The Spring Festival is a big festival, and the ceremony of going to the grave to invite the ancestors is extraordinarily solemn.After going to the grave to invite the ancestors in the morning, the ancestor tablets are placed in the main hall one by one to display the offerings.The fish and meat bowl dishes are served in tall bowls, which is quite like the sound of bells and lanterns.The whole family, all dressed in formal attire, offered incense and kowtowed in the order of seniority. The sons, daughters, great-grandchildren each served chili wine to the parents, praying for the protection of the ancestors.

Chen Qing was wearing a formal dress for the first time, and felt uncomfortable with her wide sleeves rolled up.Liang Zijun was dressed in a jade-colored wide-sleeved shirt, which stood out from the crowd of brothers, with his gentle manner and natural temperament.

"Your clothes are well hidden. I searched the cabinets but couldn't find them. I wanted to wear them to my ancestors so that they could see the handicraft of a bride." Stop pulling the thick hands on the sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Behave in front of your ancestors!"

Standing behind Liang Zijun, Chen Qing obediently lowered her hands and let her wide sleeves cover her palms.After worshiping, Chen Qing was already tired and exhausted. He got up at Maoshi and has been busy working until now. He didn't even have a sip of hot water to drink. This big family is very tiring during the New Year.

Out of the main hall, Liang Zijun pulled someone with a tired face and said, "I still have work to do tomorrow, so what should I do if I'm tired now? Use some energy to work on weekdays, don't be silly and do all the tiring work." !"

Chen Qing didn't bother to speak, if he could calm down at night, he wouldn't be so tired.

The [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month is also called New Year's Eve.It is "the end of the month and the end of the year". People have to get rid of the old and welcome the new. The old year is removed here, and the new year will be replaced in the coming year.Therefore, the activities during this period are centered around getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, eliminating disasters and praying for good fortune.

On New Year's Eve, door gods, New Year pictures, Spring Festival couplets, window grilles and Spring Festival posters will be posted.

Early in the morning, Chen Qing made half a pot of paste, pasted the pre-cut window grilles on each window, and pasted the upside-down blessing character on the door of the house.Even chicken coops and pig pens each get a piece of red paper, which is called "Feng Sui" or "Shang Hong".Liang Zijun and Liang Ziping pasted Spring Festival couplets and two mighty portraits of door gods on the outside of the house.

Afterwards, Mr. Liang set up a table in the main hall, brought out a large stack of red paper, Liang Meng cut the paper, and Liang Duoduo was in charge of grinding the ink.At first, Chen Qing didn't understand why, but after a meeting, he saw two or three farmers who came to ask for characters, and then he understood.

Most farmers are illiterate, as long as they can recognize their own names, they can't write much.Therefore, every Spring Festival, the Spring Festival couplets have to ask the learned scholars in the village to write a good meaning, praying that the new year will welcome the new year like the Spring Festival couplets, and be prosperous and safe.

Liang Zijun has been helping the village write Spring Festival couplets since he was 13 years old, and he will also help write family letters when he has time.Most of them don’t take money, they just help out the village, but few farmers come to the door empty-handed, drop some coarse grains or eggs, and say a few auspicious words, and it’s okay on the surface.

This custom has lasted for 7 years, and this year coincided with Liang Zijun's big wedding. Those who have had a wedding will boast a few words, and a blessing for the early birth of a baby can also make the entire Liang family happy.
