Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

"Yingzi, are you going? If you go, let's buy some incense paper and burn it in the temple." Lin Yi said to Yingzi.

Yingzi nodded: "Okay, then why don't you stay up all night and sleep? If you don't, we'll stay up all night."

Many people stay up all night to stay up all night long.

Of course, the juniors who can't stand it will be sent to bed by the adults after midnight.

The adults, on the other hand, play cards or mahjong until the next morning.

There were not many entertainment options in the [-]s, and they were not as fancy as those of later generations.

"Don't sleep? Can you survive it?" Ji Yi looked at Yingzi.

Yingzi snorted: "Brother Yi, don't look down on me."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After setting off the fireworks, Ji Yi and Yingzi returned to the room.

I was watching TV, and then the younger members of the family took turns to kowtow to the elders and say some auspicious words.

Then the elders took out the red envelopes prepared in advance.

Send red envelopes to juniors.

It's called New Year's Eve.

This is also the favorite part of all children.

Ji Yi liked this when he was young.

Lin Qingfeng gave each of Lin Yi and Yingzi a red envelope.

Lin Yi also gave red envelopes to the children of his two brothers.

The red envelopes of the [-]s were not as popular as the red envelopes of thousands in later generations.

That kind of red envelope is also a burden for adults.

Lin Yi gave five yuan to several nieces and nephews.

It is already the biggest red envelope in the village.

When the two sisters-in-law saw the five yuan, they immediately took the money.

Euphemistically speaking, it is not safe for children to put so much money on them, so it is best to leave it to their parents for safekeeping.

This rhetoric made Ji Yi feel inexplicably familiar.

"Brother Yi, where is my red envelope?" Yingzi stretched out his hand and asked for the red envelope.

Ji Yi gave her one.

In the early hours of the morning, the host's voice came from the TV to wish the people of the country a Happy New Year.

Ji Yi went to set off a firecracker outside the house again.

At this point, it’s almost time to stay up late.

The children made a fuss for a while and then went to sleep one after another.

The TV also turned into snowflakes.

In this era of television, programs were not broadcast all night long.

After twelve o'clock, it was gone.

Even if it's New Year's Eve, it's the same.

Lin Yi and Yingzi returned to the small room and played poker.

Including my two brothers, the four of us shared a table.

The two sisters-in-law had to take care of the baby and had gone to the side room to rest.

The houses in the countryside are large and have many rooms.

So don't worry about not being able to accommodate.

A table of mahjong was also played in the living room next door.

Mr. Han and Lin Qingfeng were having a great time.

Lin Yi and the others are playing poker to upgrade.

In the early [-]s, there weren’t many ways to play poker, just a few.

Games like Doudizhu and Wolong have not yet appeared.

What is more interesting is the "forty points" "upgrade".

The so-called upgrade means two decks of cards, played by four people, facing each other as one family and two against each other.

Usually 3, 5, 10, K, A.

Starting from 3, 60 points are passed, 100 points are minor officials, and 120 points are high officials.

Those who pass will be promoted to one level, minor officials will be promoted to two levels, and senior officials will be promoted to three levels.
  There are main cards and hole cards, and "calling the main card" and "turning over the hole cards" are very important to winning or losing.

These rules are still very simple. Even if you don't know how to play, you will know it after watching one or two games.

Lin Yi and Yingzi formed a team to beat his two brothers.

"How about playing for 123 cents? Bring some money, it will be more interesting." Lin Yi said to several people.

This small amount of money is not actually gambling, it is just a little extra to add to the fun.

Everyone quickly agreed.

Several people played cards until dawn. Lin Yi and Yingzi were lucky and each won 3 yuan. Looking at the time, Lin Yi yawned and said that he didn't want to play anymore and had to go to the temple to burn incense.

Yingzi played cards all night and was still very energetic.

There is a temple in the nearby mountains, which is also the goal of their trip.

Lin Yi and Yingzi used the money they won at night to buy incense paper, candles, and firecrackers in a nearby shop under the temple.

Then he went to burn incense.

The eldest brother and the second brother did not come with them because they wanted to bring their wives and children to offer incense.

Of course I won't go with them.

In fact, many people came as early as last night.

Whether it is the south or the north, there is always competition for the top spot.

It is said that those who wear incense will have good luck in the coming year.

Of course, this is all nonsense.

Lin Yi didn't join in the fun either.

It's a cold day, it's night, and it's icy and snowy, so it's still very dangerous to go up the mountain.

It's much better during the day.

After burning incense, Lin Yi and Yingzi went to ask for a fortune.

Both of their draws are pretty good, top picks.

Lin Yi was in a good mood and donated ten yuan to the temple, asking the monk guarding the temple to express his generosity.

He also took Lin Yi to eat in the temple.

Of course Ji Yi declined.

What to eat on the first day of the first lunar month?

Wouldn’t it be nice to go home and eat meat and drink wine?
  On the first day of the first lunar month, every household has leftovers.

There is no need to burn it again.

The two of them walked around and returned home, ahem, just in time to catch up with his brother and his group going out to worship God.

"Brother, sister-in-law, are you back? Just in time to have breakfast."

The eldest brother spoke.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, we usually eat dumplings or noodles.

But Ji Yi and the others had dumplings last night, so they had noodles today.

Because there were many people eating noodles, Li Xiuhe ordered several handfuls of noodles.

This is when the second pot comes out of the oven.

Making noodles is still very simple. Take a handful of noodles, wait for the water in the pot to boil, and put the noodles into the boiling water.

Remember, the water must be boiled before boiling the noodles, otherwise it may be undercooked and affect the taste.

But don't cook it for too long, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy.

This kind of sense of proportion will test a housewife's cooking skills.

You can't learn it just by looking at it. You have to practice it hundreds or thousands of times before you become familiar with it and master it easily.

When the noodles are spread out, you can pick them up.

Now, the noodles have been cooked, and Li Xiuhe is planning to clean the water in the pot and make soup.

Lin Yi told his mother that there is no need to use a special pot to make soup, just use boiling water to brew the seasonings.

This is not the kind of soup made with bones in restaurants.

"Do you want to use the pot?" Li Xiuhe looked at Ji Yi suspiciously.

Ji Yi touched his nose, good guy, can you guess this?

"Well, I want to eat fried noodles." Ji Yi coughed and said to his mother.

Li Xiuhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and handed the spatula to Lin Yi: "Then you fry it, the rest of us have finished eating, it doesn't matter how you eat."

Yingzi, of course, if you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you will follow the dog.

She thinks the fried noodles are also delicious.

He also helped Ji Yi cut a lot of side dishes, such as cabbage and green onions.

Ji Yi used a spatula to scoop out some lard and put it in the pot.

For stir-fried noodles, Lin Yi likes to use meat oil.

Stir-fried in lard, it's very fragrant.

In later generations, this thing was rarely seen.

The reason is that experts say that eating too much lard will make people obese.
  For health reasons, eat less lard.

But in fact, this view is very wrong.

Lard is actually very healthy.

It doesn't make you fat at all. (End of chapter)
