Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 337 Gossip about Chinese New Year
Yun Yingying and Qi Zhaodi each held a firecracker, stuck it in the snow and set it on fire, then ran away quickly.

Cover your ears in the distance, look at the firecrackers, and wait for the firecrackers to make a "bar" sound.

At this time, when they saw Han Li coming back, Yun Yingying ran over and stuffed some lamb whip into his hand.

"Brother Li, it's just in time for you to come back, let's have some firecrackers together."

Han Li took it and ordered two, but he grabbed the tail of the firecracker and rang it in his hand. At this moment, Yun Jingjing asked.

"We also bought two bundles of second kicks, why don't we take them out and order a few."

At this time, most of the second kicks were in bundles of twenty, and the ones Yun Jingjing and the others bought back were only as thick as an average person's index finger.

At this time, the second kicker is very conscientious in terms of workmanship and materials, which makes it very safe. There are very few situations in later generations where the squib, one rings, and cannot be raised.

Han Li saw with his own eyes that someone held five two-legged legs in one hand, lined them up from top to bottom, lit the top one, and ignited the next one with the tail flame generated during lift-off. And so on until all five are lifted into the air.

Of course, very few does not mean no, because he has also heard of so-and-so, so-and-so, who blew up his fingers when he kicked his feet.

After Yun Jingjing finished speaking, several people showed eager expressions on their faces. Han Li shook his head with a smile and rejected their proposal, and told about the situation of Zhang Kanying's family.

At this time, it’s okay to set off some small firecrackers at home, because many children on the street will light two tins from time to time, and it’s not very eye-catching for them to order a few.

But the whole village can hear it. It's not yet the New Year's Eve. Zhang Qianying's family has just had such bad luck. It's easy for them to gloat.

Moreover, as long as everyone who went to the scene today knows that this group of people came today because of what happened last time, and she is fine, but Zhang Kanying was sent to the county hospital. If you pay attention, it is inevitable that some people will talk nonsense.

After Han Li finished speaking, everyone felt a little embarrassed. This happened when they were steaming steamed buns at home.

"But tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so we can do whatever we want then."

Now the door of the house is covered with all kinds of food, and the weather of minus 30 degrees will soon freeze them hard.

Bean buns are steamed on the drawer in the outer room, and there are some second-proofed steamed buns, sugar triangles, little hedgehogs, little snakes, and little jujube flowers on the kang in the back room.

After it's all steamed and frozen hard, He Mi and the others will take some of it over there, and the five of them will eat the big head.

Han Li and the others stopped firing cannons, and everyone sat in the room holding a teacup and chatting while watching the steam constantly rising from the cage.

The most talked about topic now is of course the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in the past. If the past few years were difficult, there was nothing to talk about, so everyone's topic was when they were in their teens.

To be honest, it was not very easy at that time, maybe it is worth remembering because there were not so many worries in childhood, just like the children in Shanghe Village now. No hesitation when slipping.

When talking here, Han Li suddenly thought of what he heard when chatting with the village head, so he coughed lightly and said in a steady tone.

"Let's tidy up the things in the front and back yards today and tomorrow. It's best to put away the things that are not easy for people to see."

Han Li's words immediately stunned everyone. What did they think was the matter? Yun Yingying asked quickly.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

"No, the village chief told me about it. This Gada will perform Yangko from the first day of the new year to the end of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Yangko team will enter the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings."

"Twisting Yangko, there used to be Wudouzhai's stilt Yangko in Sijiu City. We have seen it several times when we were young. It seems nothing wrong with it?"

Seeing Yun Yingying's indifference, Han Li smiled and explained patiently.

"It's up to us to talk about it, do you know? The big yangko in Gada is not twisted casually. It contains the meaning of blessing and exorcising evil spirits, and it can only be performed from the first day to the tenth day of the new year every year. Five twists these days.

On the day when the lamps are delivered to sixteen families in the first lunar month, the members of the Yangko team will burn all the flowers and headdresses on their bodies, and sing a few words when burning, "Drum boards live and sing, and the three elders and four young people listen to it." Clearly, this year's Yangko is over, bless our fathers and fellow villagers to be safe and sound. '

Although there are some things that cannot be said in the past few years, everyone knows about twisting Yangko, but it has been changed to a more appropriate way. You don't need to believe it, but you must respect the customs and traditions here.

"Han Li, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our need to clean up the yard?"

"It does matter, there are other things to pay attention to here. There are two groups of men and women who enter the courtyard to perform Yangko. The leader of the male is called 'Colorful Stick', and the leader of the female is called 'Sha Gongzi'. In some places it is called pull shirt, in some places it is called head.]

This man and woman are the chief commanders of the Yangko team's formation and weaving pattern. Whether a Yangko team's Yangko twist is good or not is the key.

If you hear the sound of drums and suona early in the morning, that means they are coming, followed by spectators. At this time, when the Yangko team enters the gate, they will hang up cannons and set off a few kicks to welcome them.

The more particular ones will pay rewards with the Yangko team. In the past, the team leaders would shout in public, "The boss has rewarded you, play the drums harder", and the Yangko team would go around the yard twice, giving the front yard, the backyard, and the corners. Twist to.

Now we can’t talk about rewards, but the team leader will say, “Play the drums harder.” Think about it, when the yard is full of people, if you don’t clean it up, will they all be seen by others? "

Han Li's original intention was to let them cover up some things, but after these people heard that there was something exciting to watch, their eyes revealed that they wanted to watch the excitement, so they had no choice but to continue talking.

"If you want to see the excitement, let's follow along. If you are lucky this year, if you catch up with the Yangko Festival held in the county, the scene will be even more lively at that time. You will watch it then."

"Brother Li, what's going on with this Yangko?"

"The Yangko Festival is a Yangko twisting competition. It is compared to which village's Yangko team has a higher level. At that time, each team will select a leader to sing the New Year's greeting tune (Yangko Liuzi), and the others will follow along. I heard that the scene is very lively. "

"Brother Li, what is this New Year's greeting tune?"

"This. It should be to sing some auspicious words. For the New Year, everyone must wish for auspiciousness. We also have them in Sijiu City, but they are called differently."

After Han Li finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and began to drink tea. The few of them were already discussing how to watch the excitement.
.
The bean buns in the pot are cooked and replaced with flower rolls. Everyone talked and laughed, and today is over.

As soon as the eyes were closed and opened, it was the New Year's Eve, and everyone got up early today.

They had a simple breakfast, and then they started to get busy.

Han Li took out the couplets and delivered them to Zhang Xiangjun himself, while Hao Hongmin and Hou Yuhua asked them to deliver them.

After coming back, it was Han Li who took care of pasting pairs and hanging lanterns, and the four of them kneaded noodles and chopped stuffing to make dumplings in the house.

As soon as the red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the street gate and the lanterns are hung, the atmosphere will be different immediately.

The white snow and the red couplets and lanterns form a strong contrast, which is the festive atmosphere.

After Han Li finished posting for his own house, he also fixed He Mi's house. At this time, he was basically at leisure.

After they mixed the dumpling fillings in the house, He Mi and Yun Yingying were in charge of rolling out the dumpling wrappers.

A piece of noodles whirled under their hands for a while, and a dumpling wrapper with a thin edge and a bulging middle came out.

The pleats of this kind of dumpling skin are very thin. If the person who makes the dumplings is willing to put the stuffing, the skin is really thin and the stuffing is very delicious.

Yun Jingjing and Qi Zhaodi are in charge of packing, and their speed is not slow.

Han Li drank water and read a book by the side. When the dumplings on the cover were full, he became the porter of the dumplings, picking them up and putting them in the yard.

At this time, the temperature outside was more than minus 30 degrees, and the dumplings were frozen quickly after being put outside, which was much easier to use than those refrigerators.

According to the custom here, every household has to make a lot of dumplings today.

No matter what kind of stuffing the dumplings are, how many noodles are added to the dumpling skins, but the quantity of the dumplings is generally calculated with sacks, and these dumplings will always be eaten out of the first month.

According to them, after the Chinese New Year, you should take a good rest and stop busy and worry about cooking.

Anyone who is hungry can get some frozen dumplings, and they can eat them in a pot, which is convenient.

Anyway, there is a natural cold storage here, and the dumplings will not go bad after being frozen.

It is said that there is a very special project in a certain place in Northeast China, which is "stealing dumplings". Some of the dumplings frozen outside his home will disappear. If someone says that there are few dumplings at home, the owner will say with a smile .

"Let the wolves carry it away, and let the dogs steal it."

Afterwards, everyone will laugh tacitly, but it won't be long before the thief who "steals" the dumplings will come to the door.

Smiled and said that your dumplings are really delicious. My boy ate a big bowl in one go. Whose’s dumplings are not good, they are salty. Whose’s dumplings add too much miscellaneous grains. The dumplings fall apart when they are boiled. The dumplings have no salty taste at all, and they need to be dipped in soy sauce when eating.

The person who "steals dumplings" is also responsible for evaluating the quality of each dumpling after eating the dumplings.

The person whose dumplings are stolen will not complain about the person who stole the dumplings, but will be very happy.

Whose dumplings are stolen more, the more it shows that the family's popularity in the village is better.

However, most of this popularity and stealing dumplings are two-way, so there is no loss of money.

And those who can come to your house to steal dumplings are all on good terms. They are open-minded people who can take jokes.

On the other hand, those people in the village who are not popular and like to make a fool of themselves, no one will steal their dumplings, because they can't afford such a joke.

The habit in Shanghe Village is to eat dumplings in the evening. When eating dumplings, if possible, a table of good wine and food will be served, drinking and chatting while waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

Yun Jingjing and He Mi were discussing what to cook when they were making dumplings. First of all, there must be fish, which means there is more than enough every year.

Secondly, there must be a chicken. As the saying goes, there is no feast without chicken, and no feast without wine, and the homonym of chicken is auspicious, which symbolizes good luck and good luck.

Han Li doesn't participate in the cooking, and both of them have excellent craftsmanship, so don't worry about the taste, he just sits on the sidelines and listens, but...
