Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

On the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, there were snowflakes in the sky, which made the weather that had just warmed up suddenly turn cold again, but the New Year's Day was approaching, and even the knives did not affect the lively atmosphere in the village at all.

"Don't be idle in the last three days, make noodles, cook meat, and croquettes." Raising noodles, cooking meat, and croquettes are the three things you must do in the last three days of the twelfth lunar month. Qun, before he came to Qingshan Village, although he occasionally cooked, he didn't know how to make noodles. After breakfast, he took out a large basin to wash and poured half a basin of flour, and he began to look at the basin in a daze. Seeing that her aunt had posted about it, she was at a loss. In the end, An Rubao went to An Ling's house and invited Anling's aunt Lu Ming, and asked Lu Ming to provide professional guidance to her aunt and her husband. Finish the dough and put it on the hot kang to let it dry.

The key to leavening noodles is that the noodles have to be raised, and the steamed buns will be white and soft, which means that life will get better next year, and there is nothing else to pay attention to. When the lid of the basin is lifted in the afternoon, half of the noodles inside have already The hair became a full pot, and a sour smell with a noodle fragrance rushed to the face. I peeled off the skin with my hands and pulled it up to see that there were large and small honeycomb holes inside.

According to the method Lu Ming told, Qin Feng kneaded the lye into the noodles little by little, and kneaded everything evenly. After waking up for a while, he divided the noodles into several portions, kneaded them into long strips, and cut them into similar sized doses with a knife. Knead a steamed bun by hand and it's done.

Because of the excessive facial hair, the whole family got involved when kneading the steamed buns, and the child was full of firepower. Song Yi was raised well at Anxuan's house these days, and after a night's rest, he was alive and kicking again. To make trouble, Qin Feng handed them a potion and asked them to squeeze and play by themselves.

Song Yi was really playing, he patted left and pinched again, but An Ruyu pinched it quite seriously, but after he finished pinching and showed it to his family, no one recognized what he pinched, asked He, he replied very seriously: "This is Xiao Hui." Xiao Hui is the rabbit he raised.

Seeing that he was still thinking about the rabbit, Qin Feng was a little guilty. The dough he kneaded could not see anything like Xiaohui and put it in the middle of the cage, he said: "When Xiaohui is steamed, huh?" Make the decision, only let Xiaoyu eat it alone, and no one else is allowed." An Ruyu said solemnly: "Yiyi can eat it too." Qin Feng scratched his nose and said: "Yes, it's only for you and Yiyi." An Ruyu Only then nodded with satisfaction.

The finished steamed buns were steamed in five drawers, more than 100, all of them steaming slowly, white and soft.Because there are many children in the family, Qin Feng also steamed a drawer of sugar buns, put red dots on them, and first gave Song Yi and An Ruyu, who had been guarding for a long time, one each, and asked them to go to the side to eat, and put a few more candies An Rubao sent them over to An Hua's family.

An Rubao didn't know the way, Song Chu led him to An Hua's house, An Hua was accompanying Chu Li to feed the sparrows in the house, and the house was as expected by Qin Feng, as expected, there was nothing wrong with it.

An Rubao handed him the steamed buns and said, "Ah, I'm worried that you can't steam them well. It happens that there are too many steamed buns at home, so let me send you some."

An Hua was also polite, and continued with a smile, letting the two into the room.

The yard of Anhua’s house is not big, with one front and hatchback, one main room and three rooms, the main room in the middle, and two bedrooms on both sides. The roof is the same as that used by most houses in the village, and with the overgrown weeds in the yard, it looks a bit dilapidated. , but the room is not bad, the kang is very hot, there is a brazier on the ground, Chu Li is lying on the kang in a thin padded jacket, teasing the bird in the cage, seeing Song Chu and An Rubao enter the house, Sitting up all of a sudden, he smiled sweetly at him and called out, "Brother Chu."

Song Chu went over to touch his face and handed him a sugar bun, Chu Li took it and ate it big mouthfuls, his cheeks were stuffed like a little mouse, An Hua poured water for An Rubao and Song Chu, and then Handing Chu Li a cup, Chu Li handed the mantou that he had eaten a few mouthfuls to An Hua's mouth and said, "Sugar, it's delicious, Hua eats it." An Hua took a small bite and let him eat it by himself, and then he ate it again. stand up.

Anhua also picked up a steamed bun and ate it, and said with emotion: "When my grandma was here, I steamed many steamed buns every year on 27th. My grandma is good at cooking, and the steamed buns are very fragrant. Since grandpa and grandma left, I have never eaten such delicious steamed buns again, why don't you go back and thank uncle and uncle for me." His second uncle's family and uncle's family are both in the village, but this is the first time that someone misses him in so many years.

An Rubao and Song Chu stayed at An Hua's house for a short time before leaving, and then sent some to An Ling's house. It was a bit late when they arrived home, and they also ate steamed buns for dinner. Lu Ming also took home steamed buns. I asked them to bring some back. Lu Ming was skillful and made all kinds of steamed buns, including small animals. An Ruyu couldn't put it down when he saw it, and put aside the "little gray" he made by himself.

After passing the level of making noodles, boiled meat and croquettes are not difficult for Qin Feng, especially croquettes. It just so happens that Lu Ming sent a lot of his own stalls, live tofu bought at the tofu shop in the village a few days ago It was also frozen. Qin Feng chopped the pork belly, radish, 饹馇 and frozen tofu into cubes, cooked it with flour, adjusted the taste, fried a big pot, and sent some to Anhua as usual. The whole family ate it all It was oily, and I didn't eat the straight dinner.

Thirty here is the same as 31 in An Rubao's previous life. They have to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, but the name is different. They have to sweep away the dust, change the door god, and nail peach charms, so they have to get up early, the family sat down for a while, and An Rubao took Song Chu back to the West Room.

The snow didn't stop, but it wasn't heavy. After three days, there was only a thin layer on the ground, but it was a little slippery when walking up. An Rubao led Song Chu to walk cautiously. He finally reached the door and was about to enter the house. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

People in the village go to bed early, most days they go to bed as soon as it gets dark, so there are very few people visiting at night, An Rubao is a little anxious to hear the knock on the door, fearing that someone is in a hurry, let Song Chu go back to the house first, and take the lantern by himself to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, An Rubao was stunned. There were more than one person standing outside the door. The one standing first was an old man. Seeing the excitement on his face, he said in a trembling voice: "Bao...young master, finally... finally found you It’s gone.” The light of the lantern was dim, and it was still possible to see that the faces of several people were covered with travel dust. They must have driven a long way and shivered in the cold wind. Seeing this, An Rubao hurriedly let them in and led them to the backyard , went straight to the east house gate.

In the east room, Song Yi and An Ruyu had already fallen asleep, and An Xuan and Qin Feng were about to go to sleep. Hearing someone knock on the door, An Xuan put on a coat and took a candlestick to open the door. Seeing An Rubao outside, he asked "What's wrong? Did you forget something?" An Rubao said in a low voice: "Father, Fang Bo and the others are here." For more than 30 years, he has been loyal and loyal. If An's family hadn't fallen, Anxuan was worried that Fang Bo would not be able to bear it, so he insisted on not letting Fang Bo follow him. Fang Bo followed his family to Qingshan Village.At this moment, An Xuan heard Fang Bo's name, thought he heard it wrong, and repeated: "Who? Who's here?" Hearing an old and familiar voice behind An Rubao, he said with a slight choke: "Master, it's the old man. Servant, it is the old servant who came to look for the young master."

Fang Bo watched An Xuan grow up, and the two had a deep relationship. An Xuan was surprised and happy when he heard Fang Bo's voice, his eyes turned red, and said, "Uncle Fang? Uncle Fang, why are you here?! Come in the house, come in the house."

An Rubao blew out the lantern, and led several people behind him into the apartment in the east room one after another. Qin Feng also came out with his clothes on at the moment. Fang Bo saw him and shouted: "Young Master." Qin Feng also saw him. He was very happy and asked him to sit down. Uncle Fang was willing to stand by himself and said to the people behind him: "Quickly kowtow to the master, the young master and the lord." He has followed An Wanyi for many years, and calling Master An Xuan is relatively safe. In all senses, other people can't call it that.

Fang Bo and his party consisted of five people. In addition to Fang Bo, there was a husband about his age and a couple of young couples. The young husband was holding a child in his arms. The child must be sleeping. Take a pat, and upon hearing Uncle Fang's order, the three adults were about to kneel down, Mrs. Anxuan said: "No need." Uncle Fang didn't listen, and Mrs. Anxuan had to endure it.

An Rubao has been here for a few months, and he only stayed in Yuxing City for more than a month, and most of the time he was ill. He was born in a democratic society and has very little concept of hierarchy. After kowtowing, Husband and wife wanted to kowtow to him again, but hurriedly waved their hands to avoid it.

The three of them stood up, An Rubao moved some stools and put them on the bottom. Fang Bo briefly introduced the other four people to An Xuan and An Rubao. One was Fang Bo's husband Lang Han Shi, and the other was Fang Bo's family Fang Jiancheng's father, Fang Jiancheng's husband Zhao Yu and their young father Fang Rong.

Uncle Fang had a house in Yuxing City. When An Xuan and his family moved out, they gave Uncle Fang another sum of money. He expected that Uncle Fang's life would not be too difficult in the future. Unexpectedly, within half a year, they dragged the family away. An Xuan was puzzled, and when they put away their things and sat down on the stool, Fang asked: "Uncle Fang, did something happen at home?"

Fang Bo sighed and said: "Don't mention it, since you left, young master, everything in the family has not been going well. First, Jian Jian's husband had a dystocia, and almost killed two people. Later, Jian Jian, he didn't work in our original rice shop. A small butler, after changing his employer, he was demoted to be a clerk, that's all right, and he suffered from all kinds of troubles, Jianping quit his job in a fit of rage, trying to find another job, but who knows that he found it, As long as ten and a half months, and as little as three or five days, no family has been working for a long time, even the rough work of carrying and lifting. It has been dragged on for several months, but there is still no turning point. The water flooded and burned most of the yard. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The old servant guessed that someone did not want our family to stay in Yuxing City. It is estimated that this year will not let us live in peace. Why not discuss it with the family? Discuss, go to the young master and you are here."

An Xuan pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Uncle Fang, you mean someone in the city is targeting you?" Fang Bo said: "Well, although it's not obvious, it should be right." Who is it?"
