Chapter 86 Sacrificial Stove, Heart-warming Big Orange
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Yunjin started cleaning at home after breakfast. In his last life, the 23rd and 24th days of the twelfth lunar month were the most important events before the Chinese New Year.festival.
The customs and habits of celebrating the stove are different in different places, Xie Yunjin does not have a fixed festival habit, it all depends on his own preferences and thoughts at the time.
Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty said in his "Poetry of Sacrifice to the Stove": "The pig's head is rotten and the fish is fresh, and the bean paste and sweet pine powder bait balls."
When Xie Yunjin was in college, there was a roommate in the dormitory who used tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, kelp, etc. to make "sacrifice soup" during the sacrificial stove. In front of the old stove, it was served with sugar paste or wheat sugarThe custom of "sacrificing stove sugar" made of sesame cakes made from glutinous rice syrup.
In the afternoon, Xie Yunjin went to the supermarket to do some big shopping. After returning, she distributed the noodles first, and then started to cook everything. There are sesame candies, the custom of roommate’s hometown. also made fried fruits, fried melon seeds, glutinous rice dumplings with red bean paste and meat floss, and made them again.A large pot of braised chicken feet and wings, duck neck and duck wings and duck legs, pig trotters, pig ears, pig tail and pig tongue, and beef ribs.
After the lo mei was ready and let it cool, Xie Yunjin made some sugar cakes with fried sesame seeds, crushed peanuts mixed with white sugar, and meat cakes filled with dried plums, vegetables and pork.
I spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen busy with all kinds of food. Xie Yunjin had plenty of time to smell the aroma of all kinds of food products without feeling tired. When it was time for dinner, he made another steamed sea bass with tofu, vermicelli, and cabbage, The kelp made a sacrificial stove soup.
One person and one cat are paired with rich food, and the warm atmosphere of fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room also adds a bit of lively fireworks atmosphere.
Unlike Xie Yunjin who lived a prosperous life alone, the three members of Xi's family were busy in their own way in this supposedly lively festival.
Xie Yunjin gave Daju two mouthfuls of sacrificial stove soup, sugar cakes, and meat pies. The stewed meat taste was too strong for him to eat, but even if it was paired with its luxurious cat food and canned small fish, accompanied by electronic fireworks outside the window, Daju also ate very satisfyingly and happily this night.
It also seems to know that today is a human festival, so Xie Yunjin can eat whatever Xie Yunjin gives it, and it doesn't always act like a spoiled child like before, wanting to eat what Xie Yunjin doesn't give it much.
Playing in the living room with an orange hair ball brings a somewhat lively atmosphere. It occasionally crawls under the palm of the owner's feet and actively sends a cat fur to be plucked. The cat fur has a silky golden luster on the tipWith one hand, the thick and rich back hair is smooth and slippery. The hand is oily and smooth in it, and it is very comfortable. When you rub it, it will meow softly under your palm, and it will be soft and sweet when you stretch your head.cute look.
When Daju tilts his head and meows at you softly, his cute appearance doesn’t look like a little tomcat at all. His back hair grows a lot and becomes moreThick and thick, if you don't look at the color of the cat's fur, it doesn't look like an orange cat.
In this strange world, the first important festival Xie Yunjin hugged a big orange and took a group photo together as a commemoration. Xie Yunjin talked to it and changed his posture when taking pictures.Sometimes he stretched out his forelimbs to lie on the coffee table, sometimes he grabbed Xie Yunjin's shoulders with his claws, and then turned his head to look at the camera. A pair of big yellow round eyes sparkled, full of energy, and he even stuck out his tongue to show off his cuteness..
One person and one cat watched TV until ten o’clock ended. When Daju was sleeping, he bit his cat’s litter and came to Xie Yunjin’s bedroom and put it on the floor beside the bed.Sleep with him at night.
Xie Yunjin watched Daju Tuan close his eyes in his cat's nest, he stretched out his arm to turn off the bedside lamp, and then covered the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.
It was supposed to be a lonely festival in a strange world, but with Daju's warm company, Xie Yunjin didn't feel the loneliness and sadness of being in a foreign land at all, and slept soundly until dawn in the warm and soft bed.
Woke up in the morning to make soy milk, made two meat buns with braised beef, bean sprouts, shredded kelp, and lettuce, fed cat food and warm water to Daju, and had breakfast for one person and one cat. Xie Yunjin finished the housework and brought DajuJu went out to the pet shop to take a bath and do hair care and beauty.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, I called Jiang Li to confirm that they would have dinner at home tonight. Xie Yunjin packed two food boxes with all kinds of stewed meat, red bean meat floss, glutinous rice, peaches, oil fruits, sesame candies, and melon seeds.Home.
The small green vegetables grown in the space, such as Shanghai greens and lettuce, grow fast and are ready to eat. Xie Yunjin also picked some of each, and the amount is not too much to add up to more than two catties. Cucumbers and beans are alreadyIt has started to shoot betel, and the tomatoes, eggplants, and green peppers have also bloomed after transplanting.
On the contrary, the flowers planted in the space were originally blooming. After a few days in the space, they absorbed the spiritual energy in the space and watered by the spiritual spring water. They grew better and better, and the flowers bloomed more and more luxuriantly and brilliantly.rate more than doubled.
The flower species that Xie Yunjin originally chose were specially selected. Most of them are not only ornamental, but also can be dried to make scented tea for consumption, and can also be used to extract essential oils and pure dew for skin care products.
After the flowers bloomed more, Xie Yunjin often came down to dry and make scented tea. This time, Xie Yunjin brought a few jars of scented tea that she made when she went to Xi’s house. These are the flowers that grew in the space after the first flowers withered., although the effect is not as good as the peach tree petals in the space, but it also contains some spiritual energy, which can be regarded as a good substitute.
Only two of the fruit trees died, and the others survived and are growing well now. The bare branches of some fruit trees now have green leaves, and I believe some of them will bloom and bear fruit in spring.
On the day of offering sacrifices to the stove, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the ancestors at the Xi family's old house. Originally, Xi's father should preside over the ancestor worship, and Xi's vassal, the eldest grandson, will also be present.The particularity of the nature of work is not something you can ask for leave whenever you want, so over the years, worshiping ancestors has become dispensable for Xi vassals and his father, but it is still for Xi's old house.It is held every year, and it is quite grand.
Xie Yunjin, as a newcomer to the Xi family this year, should have actually gone to the old Xi family house to recognize someone early, especially in this kind of important festival, which is a big day for new wives to recognize someone.
But Xie Yunjin didn't know this, Jiang Li blocked him every time there was something in the old house.This marriage was a helpless move at the beginning. Although the Xi family did not object, it was because in the eyes of the old lady of the Xi family, "congratulations" was originally a method, so she agreed just now when there was no other way.It is naturally a good thing to come back to my grandson, if not in the eyes of the old lady with outdated thinking, then change to a more prosperous one.
