The days when I am farming in the last days

It is a local custom to cook a lot of rice and dishes on New Year's Eve until the second day of the New Year.There is no cooking during the first two days of junior high school, which probably means that the food at home can be eaten from last year to this year.

When I was young, I didn't think there was anything wrong, because during the Chinese New Year, all the delicious food in the house would be taken out.But now that the material conditions are getting better and better, this kind of regulation seems unreasonable.

Moreover, transportation was inconvenient when I was a child. Except for a married girl who returned to her natal home in the second year of junior high school, other relatives and friends usually went out to pay New Year's greetings after the third year of junior high school, so I didn't have to worry about entertaining guests.But now there are more and more office workers, and almost everyone has a car at home, so they will take relatives everywhere in the first and second grades.

As for the rest of the saying that you can't sweep the floor or pour water outside on the first day of the new year, or you will lose your money, it has long existed in name only, and no one cares.

So although Mama Tang still steamed a pot of rice with a steamer yesterday, she ate half of it last night, and the rest is probably only enough for one meal.

The only thing Tang Ma still insisted on was not cooking in the morning on the first day of junior high school.

Do not cook, eat papa. ——In the local area, all the foods that need to be kneaded to make dough are called Baba.The glutinous rice noodles we will eat today are glutinous rice balls.

In addition to crispy sesame fillings, there are also peanut fillings and walnut fillings.These two are not prepared in advance and can only be made on the spot.

Tang Ma brought out a box full of walnuts, which startled Qin Yu, "Do you want to pack so many?"

"Of course not, this is for you to eat." Tang Ma sat down and began to pick out walnuts from the box. She picked out the round ones, which looked good at first glance, and placed them in front of them. Each of them had twelve walnuts. .

Tang Han whispered to Jiang Dai gossip, this is the secret of the Tang family - fortune-telling walnuts.

Each walnut represents a month, and it is good after breaking open, which means good luck in this month.If it is empty, then be careful this month.

However, when shelling the walnuts harvested every year, Tang's mother would sift through them, leaving only the good ones to dry in the sun, and eating the rest directly.Now that the walnuts are taken out, the old man has to pick them again by herself, so that the chance of bad walnuts is naturally reduced to the lowest.

Therefore, it is nothing more than a ceremony to pray for auspiciousness.

Tang Han found out the hammer and handed it to Jiang Dai, "Try it?"

Jiang Dai naturally wouldn't refuse, and chipped open the walnuts one by one.Sure enough, Tang's mother had been picking walnuts all her life, and the level was still very trustworthy, not a single one was bad.After that, Qin Yu and Ozawa were all lucky. Except for Qin Yu's walnut kernel, which was relatively flat, the others were all very good looking.

In the end, when it was Tang Han's turn, she didn't know if all the good walnuts had been picked up by others, but she was actually blind when she smashed two of them.

Tang's father came out from the empty room next to him carrying a small stone mortar, and couldn't help but said, "Your mother's walnuts are not good, let her bring the bag and you can choose it yourself."

Before Tang Han could speak, he heard Tang Ma ask again, "Do you want it?"

Actually considered this suggestion.

Tang Han refused without hesitation.Although it's just for good luck, you can't cheat too obviously, right?

She continued to smash with a hammer, breaking one open and placing it on the stove.When they were all smashed and looked back, they were surprised to find that the first two walnuts turned out to be of good quality with intact flesh.

Of course, it wasn't because she had misjudged her vision before.Tang Han was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Dai who was sitting beside him.

"It's all good now." Jiang Dai smiled at her and whispered.

Tang Han also lowered his voice, "What about you?"

"Mine are all good too!" Jiang Dai said without hesitation.Everyone looked at what she smashed, and none of them were bad.

Tang Han was amused by her logic.Although she doesn't care about it herself, because there are basically one or two broken or poor-looking ones every year, but it doesn't feel bad to be maintained like this.

Walnuts are high in oil, and Tang Han only likes to eat raw ones, and the sun-dried ones always feel very greasy.So she ate one, and the rest of the pulp was peeled off and given to Father Tang, who crushed it in his small stone mortar, and then mixed it with sugar, which became a kind of filling.

Jiang Dai saw it and hurriedly followed.

When Qin Yu wanted to follow, Tang's father mercilessly refused, "Enough is enough, I can't eat too much. You don't like this kind of stuffing, and I will eat it by myself again. "

Qin Yu looked at the walnuts in front of him, feeling a little at a loss.Forget about his own twelve, he can barely eat them.In addition to Qin Zezhi's twelve, he really couldn't take it anymore.But this was originally Tang Ma's kindness, and the walnuts had already been smashed, so it seemed inappropriate not to eat them.

He pinched the walnut and couldn't help hesitating.

Tang Ma couldn't help laughing at him, "It's over, Xiao Qin can't sell these walnuts."

She looked outside the house, "I don't know if there will be children coming to play this year. If you can't eat it, let's put it away."

Qin Yu seemed to be pardoned, and quickly picked up the walnuts and put them back in the box.

Seeing that the stuffing was almost ready, Mama Tang started kneading the noodles.In her experience, hot water must be used for glutinous rice noodles, otherwise the adhesion is not enough.

After kneading the noodles, it is time to start making glutinous rice balls.Tang's mother's bags were very big, and Tang Han looked at them with disgust, so he rolled up his sleeves and put them on by himself.Her bag is very delicate, only the size of the tip of a thumb, even if it swells a little after being cooked, it can still be eaten in one bite.

However, Tang Han himself does not eat this kind of stuffed glutinous rice balls. Instead, he rubs out solid balls as big as the tip of his little finger. When cooking, he puts a spoonful of sweet wine and a spoonful of sugar. The sweetness is just right. , which perfectly suits her taste.

"I want to eat this little one too!" Ozawa saw it and quickly raised his hand to ask.

Tang Han agreed with a smile, then turned his head to look at Jiang Dai, and asked her in a low voice, "Do you want it?"

……

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Tang Ma asked Tang Han to wash the dishes, and then asked the others, "We are going up the mountain later, are you going?"

I don't know from which year, it became popular to go to the grave on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings to the ancestors.It sounds unlucky at first, but when you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.Ancestors also need to celebrate the New Year!They have to find their way back to eat the food offered at home, so it is better to go to the tomb to offer sacrifices.

Qin Yu and Jiang Dai have never left the village since they came here.Although Tang's family has a lot of things, they still can't help but feel very anxious. Hearing what Tang's mother said, they all expressed their desire to go with them.

Tang Han didn't want to go at first, but everyone went, leaving her no choice at all.

In the past two years, a cemetery was jointly built in several nearby villages, and many tombs were moved here. It has brought a lot of convenience for the villagers to go to the graves, and they can worship all their ancestors at once.

But in this way, there will be a lot of things to prepare. Tang Ma filled a big basket to the brim, carrying it like a heavy bag.

Fortunately, they didn't need to walk there. Father Tang drove his agricultural tricycle, and the others squatted in the back of the cart.Although the wind in winter is a bit harsh and freezing, for those who have not experienced similar experiences, it has a special flavor.

Before leaving, Tang Han came over with a hatchet.

Jiang Dai was taken aback, "What are you doing with this?" Didn't you go to the grave?

Tang Han frowned, "Chop some firewood by the way when you come back. You have to buy firewood (money) on the first day of the new year. How can you go up the mountain and return empty-handed?"

The author has something to say: Just... Someone in the comments asked about the plot and the main line.

The inspiration for this article at the beginning was to see various self-healing videos posted by netizens during the quarantine period on Weibo.

Chinese people are very good at staying at home, but the houses in the city are still too small after all, so I want to design such a relatively closed environment, where everything is self-sufficient, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and the house is full of tricks.

This can be regarded as one of the pastoral pursuits of the Chinese nation, just like what Lao Tzu wrote in the "Tao Te Ching": "A small country with few people... is happy with its food, beautiful with its clothes, comfortable with its dwelling, and happy with its customs. Neighboring countries Looking at each other, the sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and the people do not communicate with each other until old age and death."

Therefore, this article will not have any major ups and downs in the plot. The whole article will maintain the tone of the first twenty chapters, and will always write about family affairs, farming, eating and drinking... and other daily life.

Don't look forward to the real Geng Tianwen, the plot and the main line.
