330. Breaking Five Returns (2)
Some people say that the year will be over after the first day of the first lunar month.
The real Chinese New Year is a few days before the New Year. Farmers are resting and workers are off work. Everyone is waiting for the New Year lively. At the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month, although people have not yet started work, they feel that the year has passed.
During the first month of the year, Ao Muyang went to his uncle's house for a walk. According to his wishes, he would just go to pay New Year's greetings.
As a result, neither my uncle nor my aunt's family wanted to do so, so he would definitely leave him for dinner.
So from the second day of the lunar month, he continued to eat until the fifth day of the lunar month, and had big meals to eat every day.
Now he has become the pride of his relatives, because he bought a large fishing boat and opened a fishing ground, and his reputation in the surrounding towns has suddenly become bigger.
In addition to his uncle and aunt's family, he and other relatives also began to come to the door to get in touch. Some relatives who had not been around for many years called him in the first month of the year and asked him to visit him.
Some relatives have only heard from their parents that they have never met them. They have never invited them when they were alive, and they have never come to worship when they died, so he politely declined all of these invitations.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, this is an important day in the first lunar month, and its name is "Baowu". According to the homophone culture of China's broad and large characters, this is also called "splashing dirty", commonly known as "sending poor land".
On this day, Ao Muyang took Zhong Cang to clean the house. According to customs, every household must clean up and down the house on this day to drive away the poor.
He was working hard to wipe the window. The general who was responsible for holding the rag for him suddenly threw away the rag in his mouth and rushed out of the door.
The Overlord Hua, who was lying at the door of the house, was stunned. After waving his ears for a few seconds, he quickly got up and ran out, which was so anxious.
Ao Muyang's heart moved. When he went out, he saw Lu Zhizi squatting at the intersection and giggling at the general.
The general rolled happily in front of her, scratching her claws and gnawing her mouth gently. It was obvious that after seeing Lu Zhizi again for several days, it was so happy.
The Overlord Flower was also very happy, so she rushed over and pounced on him. Lu Zhizi exclaimed and was knocked to the ground with the man and the suitcase.
Ao Muyang hurried over and pulled her up, and smiled and said, "I'm back so early?"
Lu Zhizi pursed her hair that was messed up by the Overlord Flower and said, "Why, isn't you welcome?"
Ao Muyang laughed and said, "Warm welcome, come and welcome!"
The Overlord Flower wanted to pounce on her, Ao Muyang pulled the back of his neck back, scolding him, "What are you trying to pounce? How do I teach you?"
Lu Zhizi teaches students one after another, but treats Bawanghua very much as she protects her cubs.
Seeing the aggrieved look of the Bawanghua, she quickly pulled her to her side and said to Ao Muyang: "Don't rush to show off her power first. How have you raised Bawanghua these days?"
Ao Muyang said: "When you asked me to raise this naughty child, it was 90 kilograms. Now it is 95 kilograms, half a kilogram a day. How do you think I raised it?"
Lu Zhizi sighed and said helplessly: "Oh, my tycoon flower is a lady. I tried hard to control her appetite and body shape before. After you feed her for a few days, it can't control her figure anymore. I have to lose weight for it when I look back."
Ao Muyang suddenly realized: "I said, you dog is like robbing when eating. He follows the dough behind the person's butt all day long, eating whatever he picks up. I thought it was born with a big appetite, but it turned out that it was because you were afraid of hunger."
Lu Zhizi rubbed her stomach and laughed, "I'm afraid of hunger, I don't eat well at home during the Chinese New Year."
Ao Muyang took her hand and said, "Let's go, come with me, I'll make delicious food for you today."
He soaked glutinous rice the day before yesterday. The rice was sent by Ao Fugui. He said it was the best glutinous rice brought by his friend from Yunnan and Guizhou. Ao Muyang wanted to use it to make a snack. Lu Zhizi's time to come back was just right.
There was a water mill in the village. He brought the soaked glutinous rice over and ground it into rice slurry with the water and rice. Then he filled the glutinous rice slurry with a cloth bag and hung it up to drain the water.
While draining the glutinous rice, he went to get a piece of pork butter.
This was left behind when slaughtering pigs. There was no water-filled pork oil. The fascia and bloodshot inside were removed, making it white.
Ao Muyang chopped the pork roe with a quick knife, and chopped the black sesame and walnut meat fried during the Chinese New Year at home, and then he added white sugar, fine sand sugar, and mixed it with the pork roe with crushed pork roe.
After packing up, he went to touch the glutinous rice noodles. It was not sticky or dry, just right.
Lu Zhizi looked around curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ao Muyang winked at her: "You will know later."
Lu Zhizi asked, "Then do you need my help?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "So virtuous."
Lu Zhizi rolled his eyes and took the general and the Overlord Flower to go out to play.
Ao Muyang rubbed glutinous rice flour, then pinched a ball in his hand and put it on the panel to make a slice. He pinched some pork oil filling with his other hand, and easily pinched it into small balls with his fingers, put it in the glutinous rice crust and wrapped it.
In this way, he rolled the glutinous rice ball until the drip circle before stopping and putting it aside.
After a while, a bunch of these small glutinous rice balls appeared on the panel.
Lu Zhizi came back and took a look, and immediately laughed: "Ha, I understand, Tangyuan!"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "What do you know? This is not a dumpling."
The glutinous rice dumplings on the panel are indeed very similar to dumplings, but the difference is also big. One is that they are small in size, but the skin is very thin and white as mutton fat. And because Ao Muyang's hand was covered with pork oil when the ball was dripping, it looked shiny on the outside.
After the gnocchi is ready, he boils water and boils a pot.
During the Chinese New Year, he kept using the stove at home. Zhong Cang came to help him with his eyesight, and soon the water in the iron pot boiled.
The general smelled the pork butter and came over to look around.
Ao Muyang suddenly reached out and grabbed it and dragged it into the pot: "Come on, are you curious? Look, go in and take a look."
The steam was rising, and the general's skin was hurt. It struggled to run. Its big hands silently reached up and pressed its legs from below.
The general turned his head in despair and saw Zhong Cang's silent face: You are so proud of your mother!
It quickly screamed at Lu Zhizi, stretched its neck and screamed miserably: "Wow, wow, wow, wow!"
The voices changed their tone!
Lu Zhizi hurried over and patted Ao Muyang's hand, rolled her eyes and said, "What are you doing? You scared it, it's ignorant."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You have to let it remember things."
The water in the pot was boiling, so he put the dumplings one by one and gently stirred the boiling water in the pot with a spoon to prevent the dumpling from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
After a while, the dumplings floated up one by one. After being touched by the water, the dumplings became smoother and brighter, and the thin glutinous rice skin was almost translucent. As the dumplings jumped in the boiling hot water, you could see the vague sticky juice flowing inside, which was very magical!
