Chapter 16: Worship the Kitchen God on the Stove (Begging for Everything)

The golden sunlight rose from the other side of the mountain, and the birds were chirping in the woods. Li Jiahao got up at six o'clock on time. After an hour of exercise, he went directly to the kitchen to help Aunt San and Grandma cook.

The meal this morning was still the same simple. A pot of black rice porridge, some corn scallion oil pancakes, and a few dishes of side dishes and salted salt eggs. The method of making corn scallion oil pancakes is: put some corn flour and white flour in the basin, hollow the flour in the middle, pour water into the middle in batches, and knead the water evenly with your hands: After kneading it into dough, 30 minutes, and prepare to cut the scallion into fine scallions, sprinkle with appropriate salt, so that the scallions will become soft and will not pierce the dough when rolled.

: Divide the dough into 3 sections, first take one of them, sprinkle dry flour on the table, and roll it into a round cake; use a small brush to apply oil on the cake surface; then sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt. If the chopped green onion has been marinated with salt, pay attention to reducing the amount of salt; then roll up the cake; seal the rolled cake strips at both ends; roll up the cake strips again, flatten the rolled side, and re-roll it into a thin round cake: put oil in the ground pan and heat it until 9 minutes hot; fry the cake until both sides are golden.

Li Jiahao drank two bowls of porridge, ate a duck egg, and a lot of scallion pancakes. After he had enough water, he took Xiaodian to the yard to find the money turtle. He had not fed the turtle these days. Fortunately, it was a turtle, and he didn't know how hungry the other animals he wanted.

Seeing the golden turtle basking in the sun on the stones in the yard, Xiao Diandian hurriedly ran over and screamed at the golden turtle. The golden turtle was not showing weakness, but also stretched out its head to rush forward. Maybe it was because they wanted to fight but didn't start fighting last time, Xiao Diandian was still holding her breath. I saw Xiao Diandian jump and stepped on the golden turtle. What kind of body is the golden turtle? How could Xiao Diandian be able to break it? The golden turtle saw Xiao Diandian step on his back and was busy.

He stretched his head and was about to bite. Xiaodian jumped down like lightning and bit on the turtle's back. With a "crack" sound, a piece of the turtle shell was bitten off. Seeing that it was obviously weak, the golden turtle quickly stretched its head into the turtle shell and acted as a turtle shrunk. Seeing that Li Jiahao and his grandmother both laughed. After Xiaodian defeated, he ran to Li Jiahao's feet and rubbed it. His front paws held Li Jiahao's legs, his big eyes flashed, and he looked so cute.

A few minutes later, Li Jiahao was going to go to the old house to see how the house was being renovated. Li Deben was taking the workers to repair it, and was preparing to build a stove today. Building a stove is particularly particular and the whole family wants to worship the stove god.

Grandpa caught a big rooster and said while sharpening the knife: "Don't be afraid of little chickens, the Master of the Kitchen God takes them home." After killing the chicken, plucking the hair, washing it and putting it in a porcelain basin.

Grandma had already set up the incense table there, put the incense burner in the middle, and the fried chicken, sugar ingot, fried rice candy, peanut candy, sesame candy and glutinous rice dumplings were placed next to it. These things were the favorite things that the Kitchen God liked to eat. Grandma took out three incense sticks, lit them, held them in both hands, knelt on the ground, and bowed, saying, "Grandpa Kitchen God, you are the best, you let the people eat them all: Grandpa Kitchen God, you are the best, you make the animals prosperous." Putting the incense in the incense burner, Grandma kowtowed three more times. She poured another glass of wine on the ground to express her respect for the Kitchen God. In the end, the candy was snatched by the children who had been waiting for a long time.

Children like to build new houses the most. When digging the foundation, they have to set off firecrackers, sprinkle candies, sprinkle candies when building stoves, sprinkle candies when putting on beams, and after building a house, they also have to sprinkle candies after building a house. At this time, the children are waiting by the side. After the firecrackers, they can grab candies, and the more they grab, the more auspicious it is.

In Litang Village, there is a portrait of the Kitchen God on the stovetop of each family. The Kitchen God is the Dongchusi decree of the Dingfu Kitchen God, commonly known as the Kitchen God, the Kitchen God, and the Kitchen God, who is in charge of the diet of the world. Every year on the 24th day of the 12th lunar month, the Kitchen God goes to heaven to report the merits and demerits of the world and determines the good fortune of man and fortune.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor sent the Queen Mother to the world to inspect the people's sentiments. The Jade Emperor's little daughter felt bored after staying in the sky for a long time and followed her mother to the mortal world. She felt very sympathetic when she saw the sufferings of the people in the world. At the same time, she saw so many loving couples in the world, and she yearned for sincere love. Later, she fell in love with a young man who burned fire and helped the stove for others. She felt that this person was kind-hearted, hardworking and simple, so she decided to stay in the mortal world to live with him. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was very angry and knocked her little daughter down to the mortal world and did not allow her to return to the heaven. The Queen Mother felt sorry for her daughter and pleaded with her in every way. The Jade Emperor reluctantly agreed to give the poor boy who burned fire a position as a Kitchen King. From then on, people called the "poor fire-burning man" "Kitchen King", and the Jade Emperor's little daughter was "Kitchen King Grandma".

On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, it is the "Kinder of the Kitchen God" or "Kinder of the Kitchen God" among the Chinese people. When offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, they set up offerings, burn incense and worship, and then the first time they enter the wine. At this time, they must pray sincerely to the Kitchen God, and then take the second time to enter the wine. After the third time, they will tear off the old Kitchen God statue and burn it together with the armor and horses and wealth to represent the sending of the Kitchen God to heaven, and the ceremony will be completed smoothly. A horse made of bamboo paper is burned,

It is the mount of the Kitchen God to the sky, and it also needs to prepare some soybeans and hay as dry food and fodder needed for the long journey of the Kitchen God and the horse. In addition, it is necessary to burn incense, kowtow, and grab a few handfuls of straw ash in the stove pit and spread them flat on the ground in front of the stove. After sending away the gods, the gods will be brought back on the fourth day of the first lunar month (on New Year's Eve). This is called "receiving the stove" or "receiving the gods". It is very simple to connect the old kitchen god statue at home, just replace the old kitchen god statue in your house with a new one.

A few small stone lakes were built, and my grandfather brought a new statue of the stove and pasted it on the newly built stove. On both sides were posted the couplets that my grandfather had already written. The first couplet was "Go to heaven to speak good things", and the second couplet was "Return to the palace to bring peace to peace" and the horizontal banner of "Safety in all seasons". After pasting, you can use it after the cement is dry.

It was already noon, and the Li family paid the wages, and they all took the money to go home. Aunt San had already prepared the meal. Today's meal was very rich, including fresh bamboo shoots and meat slices, stewed local chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork with wild mountain jue, fried eggs with black fungus, and tender buds with erectile scents.

Thorny buds, Thorny buds are commonly known as Longmu Alder, and Thorny crows. They are deciduous shrubs or small trees for a long time. They are tender and crispy and fragrant. They are a woody vegetable with unique flavor and delicious flavor. Thorny buds contain a large amount of trace elements, a variety of vitamins, all amino acids and nutrients necessary for the human body, and are rich in plant fiber. The protein content in Thorny buds is relatively high, reaching 14.88%. Thorny buds have functions such as dispelling rheumatism, dispersing in knots, replenishing qi and calming the mind, strengthening the essence and nourishing the kidneys. The total saponin content of the plant is 20.40%, which is 2.5 times that of ginseng. It is rich in ginseng and has the effect of strengthening the body. It is beneficial for the treatment of rheumatoid waist and leg pain, diabetes, nephritis, gastrointestinal ulcers and bruises.

The method of thorny sprouts with erotic aroma is to wash the sprouts, pour clean water into the pot, add the sprouts after the water boils, blanch it for 2-3 minutes and remove the sprouts. Use boiled water to remove the sprouts, mix in the seasonings, add some fried sprouts, and pour red chili oil.

Just as he was about to have dinner, Xiao Diandian ran to Li Jiahao's legs and screamed, obviously he was hungry. Li Jiahao understood and picked up Xiao Diandian and went out. He stared at Xiao Diandian's eyes and said, "You guy is amazing now, and you don't go out to find food. Don't dig the bamboo shoots all over the mountain. Come here to eat them every day." He said that while others were not paying attention, he gave Xiao Diandian a big bamboo shoot. He picked up the bamboo shoots and Xiao Diandian was willing to eat them, and screaming while still whispering, obviously looking satisfied.

Thinking of Xiaodiandian being hungry, there was still a golden turtle. Li Jiahao looked around and saw the golden turtle staying in the corner of the yard. While there was no one around, he picked up the golden turtle and put it in the spiritual water of the space. There were many fish, crabs and other fish that were bold last time in the Li family, and they would not be hungry.

After doing this, Li Jiahao felt hungry, so he hurried to the kitchen to have dinner. Seeing that everyone had sat down and started eating, Li Jiahao quickly sat down and started eating. "Baby, where have you been? You still ran away after eating." Grandma glared at Li Jiahao and said.

"Haha, it's okay. Aunt San, the food today is so delicious. I need to eat more." Li Jiahao said while eating.

"If you have it, eat more." Aunt San said with a smile.

"Haozi, your old house has been repaired. You will be here to live in a few days. If you are not used to coming there, you will come back again." Uncle San said.

"Okay, I will." Li Jiahao said with a smile.

"Brother, tomorrow is March 8th Temple Fair. Can you take me there? Let's go to the temple fair." The girl Jiahui begged.

"Oh, yes, tomorrow is the temple fair. Grandma, will Aunt Third?" Li Jiahao said with some knowledge.

"No! There are too many people in the temple fair, and I think it's crowded, so I won't go." Grandma and Aunt San said.

"Brother, if they don't go, can we go?" Jiahui begged again.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Anyway, I haven't been to the temple fair for several years, so I'll join in the fun too." Li Jiahao said to Jiahui with a smile.

"You will be abusive to this girl." Uncle San said with reproach.
