    Stove delivery in Zhoujiacun is usually held in the evening or at night.  The family goes to the kitchen room first, sets up a small table, respectfully offers incense to the Kitchen God in the shrine on the kitchen wall, and offers candies made from malt sugar and noodles.  Using caramel to worship the Stove Lord is to sweeten his mouth.  In other places, such as Xiaowangzhuang, people spread sugar around the Stove Lord's mouth, and while applying it, he said: "Say more good things, but don't say bad things." This is what the people say plainly, "God speaks good things, and the lower world ensures peace."  It is to stuff the Stove Lord's mouth with candy to prevent him from saying bad things.  When talking about Cizao, we cannot fail to mention the folk custom of eating sesame candy.  Zhou Yu still has fresh memories of the sesame candy he ate when he was a child. It was so sweet that it filled his heart with fragrance and left people with endless aftertaste.  At that time, the sesame candy was so sweet and addictive that you would never get tired of it no matter how much you ate.  The sesame candy is as round as the moon and as white as frost, sweet and delicious; as long as chopsticks, it is crunchy and makes a sound when chewed.  No matter what shape it is, it is unforgettable.  A few days before the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month every year, there are people selling sesame candy. Needless to say, it goes without saying that the New Year is about to be celebrated.  Sesame candy is not something to be eaten randomly. If you eat sesame candy, your mouth will be muddy and you will no longer be able to talk nonsense.  Husband and wife should not quarrel, and children should not curse. Only in this way can this year be good and the family be safe.  Although such taboos are uncomfortable, adults enforce them very seriously on this day. Occasionally, they will scold children to remind them to pay attention when they hear swearing. Therefore, with this custom, it is still beneficial to family harmony.  Of certain help.  In addition, there are folk customs that have been continued from ancient times to the present.  On Xiaonian, the countryside around Taiping Town still has the custom of cutting window grilles.  Window grilles are not only decoration, but also express good expectations for the future.  The joy of red.  All kinds of publicity are condensed in that small window grille.  With a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper, flowers, birds, fish and insects of various shapes and sizes can be displayed in front of people, or coupled with a few extremely beautiful words of blessing and happiness, it will become even more beautiful.  .  Beautiful window grilles make this day more festive and colorful, and reflect the people's yearning for a better life Zhou Yu must go home to help on such an important day, even Chef Liu finished his work on the mountain in the morning  Finally, they all hurriedly sent Huzi home.  Originally, Zhou Yu thought it would be inconvenient for Chef Liu to go home alone now, so he invited him to his home to celebrate the New Year.  Who knew that Chef Liu refused without hesitation.  He said matter-of-factly: "Er Gouzi, it's the New Year today. You don't have to eat dumplings, and you don't have to eat sesame candy, but you have to clean the house, and the Kitchen God has to give them to you. Otherwise, this great god will get anxious."  Report to me when you go to the Jade Emperor, tell me, will my life be good in the coming year?" Chef Liu's serious look shocked Zhou Yu.  So he stopped trying to persuade him, and quickly asked Huzi to send him home, and invited him to come home and eat dumplings after sending the Stove Lord away in the evening.  In Zhoujia Village, you must have a steaming meal of dumplings after finishing the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.  Here in the Northeast, there is a proverb that "nothing tastes better than dumplings." Dumplings with lots of filling and thin skin are the favorite pasta of many northerners.  Whether it¡¯s the New Year or the holidays, dumplings on the table always make people feel happy.  Of course dumplings are indispensable on New Year¡¯s Eve.  Whether in cities or rural areas, every household eats dumplings. The "send-off dumplings" given by the Stove Lord represent the respect and love that northerners have for the Stove Lord.  The big cherries in the cherry shed are already quite ripe and should have been picked today.  But since it was the New Year, Zhou Yu couldn't disturb everyone's holiday.  So we can only postpone picking until tomorrow.  As for the provincial capital, due to the hot sales of dragon carps, big watermelons and big peaches, the reputation has now been completely established. In addition, the hundred jars of top-quality chrysanthemum wine sent over later have pushed the store's reputation to the extreme.  Nowadays, in the provincial capital, everyone from the rich and white-collar workers to the peddlers knows about the "nature" mountain goods store. At the same time, their mouths are full of excitement, and they suddenly think of those fresh and mellow good things.  So after getting notification from Zhou Yu yesterday that cherry picking would start on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Sanpao and Liu Yunfei didn't care about the New Year and quickly started to promote it again.  Although the price of the big cherries is extremely expensive, one hundred and fifty per pound, even this does not stop people from pursuing delicious food.  And this is in winter, ordinary large cherries cost one hundred and eighty yuan per pound, and they sell the best quality ones in nature, so the one hundred and fifty yuan is really not expensive.  And the Chinese New Year is coming soon. How comfortable would it be if the whole family watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year¡¯s Eve and leisurely threw a few plump, sweet, crisp, round and juicy cherries into their mouths?  As a result, the membership card application was coming like a movie in the heavy snow. Before the sales of these big cherries started, they received an order of more than 18,000 kilograms, which made Liu Yunfei and Liu Sanpao laugh with joy all day long.  The sky is full of snow? was still flying, and the village was a lively scene. Every household was cleaning, and the children were running and jumping happily with sesame candy in their mouths When Zhou Yu got home, he found that his mother was wearing an apron and cleaning the glass outside.  Dad also wore a tattered cotton hat and sheepskin jacket and was sweeping the dust under the eaves and walls with a long broom.  The same is true when looking at my uncle's house next to me. My uncle and aunt are also busy outside.  Seeing that his nephew was back, Wang Zhijiang, who was ordered by the old woman to ignore his body, was very upset. He pitifully said loudly to Zhou Yu through the courtyard wall: "Xiaoyu, hurry up and give your sister a shot."  Call her and ask her if she will come back this year. Oh, this girl of mine is really wasted. If she doesn¡¯t come back to eat meat during the New Year¡¯s pig slaughter, and she doesn¡¯t come back to clean the house during the New Year¡¯s Eve, tell her that her father will be gone soon if she doesn¡¯t come back.  I was tortured to death by the old ladies at home. How can I, a grown man, know how to clean the glass? Really" Looking at his uncle's pitiful appearance, Zhou Yu almost laughed out loud and quickly said to his uncle, "Oh, uncle.  , Don't worry, I'll call Shanshan right away. If he doesn't come back, I and Huzi will go to the provincial capital to catch him. After he comes back, we won't need her to do anything. We'll just let her clean up all day long.  "After you finish cleaning up, come to our house to clean up." Wang Zhijiang rolled his eyes a few times. This bastard nephew was trying to make fun of his own daughter, so he opened his mouth to retort.  Before he could speak, Zhou Yu said to Li Xuelian again: "Aunt, let my uncle rest for a while. Don't embarrass him. I'll go over and help you later. Besides, my uncle used to be the village chief and branch secretary.  How can a big man with big shoulders do this? " "Xiaoyu, don't listen to his nonsense. Is it okay for such a big man to clean windows and clean the house? I think he is.  You want to be lazy and lazy. Besides, the village chief is just an old farmer. You really think you are a cadre." "Hahaha, aunt, you can't say that, the village chief is not a young man.  You see, in addition to the president, the following are the governor, mayor, township chief, and village chief. In other words, the village chief is only three levels lower than the provincial governor, which is almost the same.  La." Zhou Yu laughed, holding his stomach.  ¡°Giggle, giggle¡­¡± The two women in the two courtyards giggled.  Wang Zhijiang in the courtyard next door was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to jump over and beat his bad nephew.  In line with the idea of ??an offensive and defensive alliance, Zhou Dingguo, who was wiping away ashes with a big broom, coughed hard and said to Zhou Yu seriously: "Xiaoyu, tell me how old you are? Why are you still talking to your uncle?  Are you older or younger? You guys quickly changed your clothes and came over to help me wipe the dust. I was so tired this morning that I went to help your uncle after that." Wang Guilan didn't say anything.  , just shook his head and smiled, could he still know about her husband's petty nature?  But the son can't ruin the family's prestige in front of him. Well, let's let him be prestige for a day. It won't be too late to deal with this bad old man after his son is gone.  Next, Zhou Yu changed clothes and got busy. Wang Guilan was a little worried at first, but after seeing that her son did a good job, she simply handed over all the work to him, and then went into the house and took out the red paper she bought and started cutting the window grilles.  .  For women in the mountains, cutting window grilles is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. All of them have learned how to do it when they were young girls, and with their ingenuity, the window grills they cut out are diverse and pretty, and they look so pretty when they are pasted on the windows.  .
