Marrying an Educated Youth in 70s: I led the farm system to counterattack

The days passed quickly, and it was almost the end of the year.

Yang Mo still asked the intellectuals of the production team to write the pair. Of course, the etiquette of half a bag of peanuts was also given.

Because it was the first year they lived in the new house, Yang Mo and Su Yang were well prepared.

Not only cut out a lot of blessing characters and pasted them in each house, but also polished the glass and cleaned the yard very clean.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, a small year in the north, Su Yang found something different on this day.

Many families will set up a pole in the yard with a branch of a pine tree standing high in the yard.

Su Yang was puzzled, and asked Yang Mo, "What is that?"

"Stand up the light pole." Yang Mo said casually.

Standing up light poles is a custom in Dawanzi, which is a way of offering sacrifices and paying homage to the gods.

Ordinarily, these things are not allowed in this day and age, but there are still many people doing this in Dawanzi, and no one cares about it year after year. This is a local custom.

There is a saying that it is reserved for Jiang Ziya, and it is also said that it is for the lamp god.

In fact, this is a sacrificial method of the Manchu people that originated from the white mountains and black waters in the northeast.

This sacrificial method also prevailed in the customs since the entry of Manchuria in that year.

Generally, blessings such as "look up and see you" or "auspicious stars shine brightly" will be pasted on the light poles in black and red.

And a lantern will be hung on it.At night, the yard can be illuminated.

Su Yang: "That's why you asked me to cut trees in the mountains last time?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Yes, this is a tradition in Dawanzi."

Standing light poles is indeed very common in Dawanzi. Even the Li family and the Jin family will erect one now.

Next, the two of them worked together. First, they tied the branches of the pine tree to the pole, and tied two strips of red cloth to the top of the pine tree.

Then, just under the platform in the yard, the two cooperated to erect the light pole.

Yang Mo found another nail, and Su Yang nailed the nail to the pole. This is where the lantern was hung back.

There are also various kinds of lanterns in Dawanzi. Those who are careful will paste one with red paper;

This horse lantern is the legendary qi death wind lantern.

When the pole was erected, Li Yang, Fang Chenying, and Tang Wenjun all came over there.

Seeing the light poles where the two were standing, they were also very curious and asked about it.

Su Yang, who is learning and selling now, introduced the light pole to a few people, making them very curious.

Li Yang: "You said it earlier, we also have one in our yard."

Su Yang: "It's all ready for you, isn't it there, it's going to be sent to you."

Li Yang and Fang Chenying were very happy when they saw it, and they said they didn't need his help, they went back and made it themselves.

In fact, young people set up this place not for belief or worship, but for novelty and excitement.

Didn't you see Li Yang and Fang Chenying's high spirits?

Tang Wenjun didn't follow, who would help Yang Mo with work?

Today Yang Mo asked them to come over and help make the sticky fire spoon.

This is a must for Chinese New Year in Dawanzi, and it will be prepared every year.

After all, this thing is convenient, once it’s done, freeze it, and just take it out (teng) when cooking.

It tastes delicious and also fights hunger.

But it is really laborious to bake, mainly because someone must watch the fire in front of the pot. If you are wrapping it, it will take time.

It's fine if you pay less, but if you pay more, you will be really busy.

Fang Chenying and Tang Wenjun helped Yang Mo with this last year. Both of them made bean paste, which was an easy job.

The bean paste in the sticky fire spoon is actually the kind of red bean paste in later generations.

However, in the era without machines, the basic mountain was made of a kind of wooden pestle, and when you smash it down, although it can also smash the bean paste, it is better not to think about it as sand.

Yang Mo couldn't eat this kind of bean filling that couldn't be smashed, and sometimes he could even eat bean grains. This kind of stuffing was dry and hard, which was particularly unpalatable.

Therefore, her bean paste is systematically processed bean paste, which is delicate, smooth and tender, and the taste must be good.

There is another one, that is, this kind of large amount of sticky dry food uses a lot of stuffing, but the bean stuffing is not delicious without sugar, and it cannot be put in it.

In this era, saccharin is used, which is a very magical chemical substance that has become extinct in later generations.

But in the 70s when supplies were tight, this was simply an artifact.

A large pot of bean paste, sprinkled with two or three grains, will be sweet in one pot, if you add too much, it will even become bitter.

Of course, this thing is unhealthy, and the harm to the body is not small.

Yang Mo is self-sufficient, and there is absolutely no shortage of sugar, so she puts pure white sugar in her bean filling.

Sweet and healthy.

Fang Chenying and Li Yang went to set up the light pole, and Tang Wenjun started to follow suit.

Here, Su Yanghuo has not been lit yet, and Wang Yanan has also entered the hospital. She was also invited by Yang Mo to help.

It's not that I'm completely overwhelmed, but I have to give my good friends a taste after it's ready, so I call it over, and just eat it as soon as it's baked.

Then Su Yang lit the fire, and Wang Yanan and Tang Wenjun packed in the house.

Outside, Yang Mo started to burn.

Jiarui and Jiaying crawled around playing on the kang, and even tried to put their little hands into the washbasin several times, but they were stopped by Tang Wenjun and Wang Yanan.

No way, this side is soft, like plasticine in the hand, too tempting for children.

But I really can't give it to such a small child, just put it in his mouth after playing two times.

Not to mention that this raw noodles cannot be eaten.

Even cooked, sticky dry food can’t be fed to children, it can’t be digested at all.

But Tang Wenjun and Wang Yanan also had a great time playing guerrilla games with their two children while packing sticky food.

Soon, Li Yang and Fang Chenying who finished setting up the light poles also came back.

After washing her hands, Fang Chenying also joined Bao's ranks, Li Yang was in charge of watching the fire, and Su Yang helped Yang Mo bake.

It is not difficult to bake a sticky fire spoon, just look at it.

With a group of people, the speed increased, and soon, several curtains in a long line were covered with sticky fire spoons.

When a curtain is full, it will be brought outside. The weather will soon frostbite and make it hard.

Of course, as long as the surface is not sticky, move it to a wooden trough dedicated to dry food.

After working on it for a long time, Yang Mo finished wrapping and baking the noodles and bean stuffing prepared by Yang Mo.

If anyone is hungry during this process, just take the baked food and eat it directly. There is no need to stand upright at all, and you can continue to work after eating.

The main reason is that this sticky dry food tastes delicious even without vegetables.The outside is burnt, the inside is soft, and the bean filling is delicate and sweet. How can there be such delicious dry food.

In the afternoon, I didn't cook anymore, and a few people drank nasturtium water and started chatting and playing poker.

At this time, the most important thing to play is to upgrade, and it is quite interesting to play with four people.

But Yang Mo is not professional, so he taught them to fight the landlord, and it happened that the six people divided into two groups.

Anyway, it's just a game for the New Year's Eve.
