Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 333 Lantern Pole

The two of them can be regarded as an old couple, and today Yun Yingying was also blushed by Han Li's concerned actions and tone.

"Brother Li, I'm not that fragile. Let me tell you, we're at the commune today."

Han Li warmed Yun Yingying's ears with both hands, put his hands in his arms, and was half hugged and sat on Han Li's lap, talking about what happened to the commune today.

And Yun Jingjing and Qi Zhaodi began to boil water in the outhouse to prepare the chickens for scalding. Today's New Year's chickens must be slaughtered to suit the occasion.

In addition to the two old hens brought back by He Mi, Yun Jingjing also dug out a few pheasants from the snowdrifts.

Qi Zhaodi grabbed the two old hens with a kitchen knife and a basin. The five fingers of the left hand clearly fixed the old hens, and the right hand began to pluck the feathers from the necks of the chickens. After the hairs were plucked, the hens’ necks were placed in the basin. Take a kitchen knife and cut off the hen's trachea and blood vessels, and finally hold the hen until its blood is drained, then throw it aside, and change to another hen to enjoy the process of killing chickens.

At this time, He Mi borrowed a large bundle of wicker from the villagers' house and came back. Yun Yingying got off Han Li's lap and ran to the yard to help after hearing the sound.

At this time, the water in the pot was almost boiled, and the four of them plucked and disemboweled the chicken together.

Generally, only the hearts and gizzards of these chickens are left in the internal organs, but Qi Zhaodi packed up all the chicken intestines and livers.

The three looked at Qi Zhaodi's actions with some doubts, and Yun Jingjing couldn't help asking.

"Little sister Qi, what are you doing with these chicken intestines?"

"These chicken intestines can be fried together with chicken hearts, chicken blood, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards later. When I was at home, one chicken could make three dishes. The chicken can be fried with chestnuts, but this dish Only those who are useful at home can eat the dishes.

Chicken racks and chicken bones are used to make soup, but I didn’t drink too much soup at that time. If my grandma and uncle’s family had leftovers, I would add some water and salt to drink. If there were no leftovers, I would also use hot water. Rinse the pot and drink some oily flowers.

Even when eating these offal, I can only eat two bites of chicken intestines at most. I can’t eat chicken hearts, chicken blood, and chicken gizzards, but the chicken intestines are really delicious. You will know when I wash them and fry them. up. "

Qi Zhaodi's words silenced the others. When they didn't know what to say, they came forward to help clean the chicken intestines together. However, cleaning the chicken intestines is not an ordinary trouble, and they met Yun Jingjing, who loves cleanliness Man, it took a long time for three people to wash and clean.

The time during the day is still too short, plus they went around the commune today, and after finishing all this, it was time to make dinner, and Qi Zhaodi personally fried chicken offal.

She first cut the chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, chicken livers into slices, cut the coagulated chicken blood into pieces, and cut the chicken intestines into sections, put them in the pot and rinse them with water, then remove and drain the water for later use.

Chopped peppers, chopped ginger and garlic, cut the fat in the chicken belly into pieces and refined the oil with water, then used the oil to saute the ingredients and added the chicken giblets. Finally, Qi Zhaodi felt that eating like this was a bit wasteful, so she added a little sauerkraut to it Stir fry and remove from the pan.

There is a sour and spicy smell in the whole outbuilding. This smell is very pungent, but it quickly makes people's saliva secrete faster and makes people feel hungry.

"Qi Xiaomei, your craftsmanship is so good that I'm a little hungry now, why don't we have dinner now."

"Yeah, smelling it makes me hungry too."

"Then I'll call Brother Li back for dinner."

After Han Li came back and washed his hands, he took a bite of fried chicken giblets. The chicken blood was soft and smooth, the chicken gizzards were chewy, the chicken intestines were elastic, and the taste was hot and sour. It was very delicious. Among the several dishes on the table, fried chicken giblets was the first one. was wiped out.

After dinner, Han Li still took the dog and the lynx out for a walk, and the four of them decided to stick out the lantern today.

Take the willow sticks and sit on the edge of the kang and start working. Although everyone has learned how to help the willow sticks from the sisters-in-law in the village, it is not so difficult to do this.

The shapes they made at the beginning were either big or small, and the oval shape was not bad. Yun Yingying even made a lantern skeleton similar to a square, which made everyone laugh for a while.

But when Han Li came back, He Mi was already in good shape.

Han Li looked at the strange-looking lantern skeletons on the ground and wanted to laugh, so he forced himself to speak in a calm tone.

"It's almost enough, what are you doing so much?"

"Brother Li, we're going to make a bunch of them. Red Lantern and Baixue are really pretty."

"It's not necessary. Hanging lanterns here is different from ours. These wicker ones are usually closed at the door, but most homes will plant a lantern pole in the yard, and then hang wooden or iron lanterns high. go up."

"why?"

"I'm not too sure about this. It seems to be a habit left behind when I went to the east of the Guandong. It may be to guide people who are still in the wild on the way home during the Chinese New Year, and this lantern will not end until the 31th day of the new year. .”

"Then shall we plant a lantern pole in the yard?"

"If you want to plant it, let's plant it. Now that we use electricity, we don't have to worry about the lantern being caught. I can also make a wooden lantern frame. You are responsible for pasting it with red paper."

"The inside of the yard is the inside of the yard. We need eight lanterns to hang two street doors and two house doors each. We must tie these up."

"As long as you are happy, you can also make more small lanterns to decorate the yard."

After Han Li came back, everyone chatted and laughed for a while, cleaned up the scene, and then everyone dispersed, washed, went to the kang, and turned off the lights.

After opening his eyes, it was already the second day, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Han Li just opened the street gate today and saw Zhang Yaozu walking over.

"Brother Han, are you going up the mountain soon?"

"Going up the mountain? What are you doing going up the mountain at this time?"

"Goose heard it yesterday when I was drinking at my uncle's house. During the Chinese New Year, lantern poles are planted here to hang red lanterns. In the past, many people didn't think much about burning oil and wax. This made the lantern poles of many houses rotten. up.

But today the village was powered on, and many people in the village planned to hang up the lanterns. Everyone said that in the next two days, we would go to the mountain to pick a similar tree, cut it down and drag it back. If we go late, we can only walk more It's a long way. "

"Then let's go, wait for me to change my clothes and bring my tools."

"The goose is going to see if Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian from the Educated Youth Academy can go."

When Han Li got home and changed his clothes, he told the two sisters about this, but then he thought about He Mi again.

"Go and ask Hao Hongmin and He Mi if they want to plant lantern poles. If so, I want to get back together."

Not long after the two sisters went out, Zhang Yaozu came over when Han Li was sharpening and sawing.

"If Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian don't go, then only the three of us will go into the mountain."

"After all, they live in an educated youth courtyard, so let them do as they like."

"Then I'll go back and see if Xiangjun has the guy ready."

"Well, I'll find you later."

After a while, the Yun family sisters came in with a few girls, but they probably didn't want to plant the lantern pole because they thought it was troublesome.

With the knife and saw in hand, Han Li led the dogs to join Zhang Yaozu and the others, then braved the bitter cold wind and walked up the mountain through the thick snow.

It's better to walk on the road that everyone often enters the mountain, but it's a misfortune when you turn into the woods.

Because the snow on the ground has reached knees, every step is very strenuous.

In order to find a suitable tree trunk as soon as possible, Han Li and the three of them separated a little.

The tree used as a lantern pole should not be too thick, otherwise it will not be possible to get it back, and it should not be too thin, otherwise it will be easily broken by the wind, and the straighter and taller the better.

The goal that Han Li and the others set was to make it almost there, without having to compare the height of the lantern pole with the villagers.

After finding the target, take out the saw and stick it to the root and saw it down, and then use a knife to repair the thinner tip and tree branches and you're done.

Finally, tie up one end of the trunk with a rope and drag it home.

The tree trunks chosen by everyone were similar, but Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu were far slower than Han Li in dragging the trunk.

In the end, Han Li tied the two tree trunks together, and the three of them walked back together.

Even so, when they dragged to the door of the house, the two of them leaned on the wall and panted like old cows.

The next step is to peel the bark of the tree, so that the lantern pole can last for a few more years of immortality.

The women of Han Li's family had already chosen the location and dug the pit. He just needed to tie a rope to the top of the tree trunk and set it up on a hook. The lantern pole was frozen into the ground.

After Han Li finished his work, he went to Zhang Xiangjun's house to help them erect the lantern poles.

Yun Yingying and the others have fermented the dough today, and placed the basin next to the stove, so that the dough can ferment better in this cold weather.

After Han Li returned home, he sat on the kang and immediately drank hot tea.

Then they began to discuss how to write Spring Festival couplets. No, at this time it should not be called Spring Festival couplets or couplets, but a slogan and attitude. This is an extremely crucial point.

You must know that although the past two years have become much more relaxed, every word still needs to be carefully considered to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Don't even think about auspicious words such as Sanyang Kaitai and Wufu Linmen, and there are many, many words that cannot be used.

However, He Mi's literary reserves are really not for bragging. While everyone was still thinking about it, she had already read out the first pair softly.

"Plowing in spring, hoeing in summer, harvesting in autumn, harvesting in winter, harvesting in winter, abundant grains, good weather, good weather, good weather, good years, and peace in all seasons."

Han Li feels that this pair is very good. The harvest and stability are very in line with the current overall situation, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Just as he was about to agree, Yun Jingjing read out a pair.

"Dongfeng is mighty and the situation is infinitely good, and the red flag is waving and the production and agricultural weather is new."

Although Yun Jingjing's pair is relatively straightforward, it is also fine, and it is more in line with the current overall situation.

In fact, the two families and the two courtyards can use these two pairs at the same time.

But they turned their attention to Han Li at the same time, as if they were waiting for him to give a good performance.

Although they didn't speak, it made people even more troubled.

Fortunately, Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, and Meng Zaihong came at this time, and looked at the packages in their hands. Needless to say, they contained clothes that must be changed after taking a bath.

"What are you talking about?"

Yang Xiuying still talked as soon as she entered the room, but their arrival just solved Han Li's current problem.

"nothing."
