Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Yu really didn't have an easy time this morning. After finishing his work at home, he went to his uncle's house to help out. Due to the heavy activity, his face was covered with sweat, which made his aunt feel distressed and scolded his old man for being cruel.  My nephew is so tired.  Wang Zhijiang did not dare to refute, and could only curl his lips to express great disdain for his nephew.  Since dumplings can only be eaten in the evening, but today is the New Year, Wang Guilan still cooked a few dishes at noon, a plate of home-made mackerel, a pot of pickled cabbage stewed with big bones, a stir-fried garlic, and a cabbage and pork belly stewed with tofu.  The two families waited for Wang Yunhai, the old man, to come back from chatting in the village and started having dinner. Everyone was chatting while eating, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite lively.  "Xiaoyu, when I was leaving your third uncle's house just now, I heard Huzi say that some of the big cherries on the mountain are already ripe?" Wang Yunhai put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.  "Oh, yes, I could have picked some today, but it's just in time for the New Year, so I want to pick it again tomorrow. Anyway, it's not a day away, and since our stuff is so good, I don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.  Qingqing and his second uncle have already ordered more than 10,000 kilograms. We can sell them right away without any burden. " "Oh, it's so smooth. That's great, Xiao Liu, that kid is doing business.  It¡¯s really not easy. Look, aren¡¯t these things in your hand sold by others? And the prices are so high, it¡¯s really rare.¡± Wang Yunhai said with a smile while stroking his beard.  "Hey, if he doesn't help me, who will he help? Who made him Qingqing's second uncle?" Zhou Yu said sultryly.  Thinking about it, the elders think it¡¯s appropriate for their own family members to help out, right?  In fact, they only felt that they had received a lot of favors from Liu Sanpao and Liu Yunfei from their own point of view, but if they looked at them from the perspective of those two, they also felt that they had received a lot of favors from Zhou Yu.  You must know that each of them has benefited from Zhou Yu in the past few months, which is no less than 8 million.  But the elders headed by Wang Yunhai have never thought about these things.  They are simple people who just feel that they owe a lot of favors to others.  After lunch, Zhou Yu drove over to look for Hu Zi, and the two brothers went to town.  Bring back a cart full of foam boxes for large cherries, and pack them into boxes when picking tomorrow.  You can get it all at once and sell it directly after arriving in the provincial capital.  In the evening, the snow gradually stopped, and a faint yellow appeared in the western sky. The sky became a little brighter, and it looked like it would be a sunny day tomorrow.  As the sky turned dark, the sporadic sound of firecrackers began to be heard in the village. It must be that the children of some family couldn't bear it and set off a few strings of firecrackers in advance to enjoy themselves.  The dumplings have been made long ago, stuffed with cabbage and pork, and are being cooked in the pot.  Although everyone also likes to eat sauerkraut and pork.  But you can¡¯t eat pickled cabbage stuffing during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t everything be sour next year?  The stuffed cabbage is so good. It sounds like the word "hundreds of wealth". It sounds so festive and rich.  In the main room, Wang Yunhai, Chef Liu and Zhou Ding Wang Zhijiang were watching TV and chatting.  Chef Liu sent the Stove Lord away before it got dark, and then rushed over to wait for dumplings so that he and Zhou Yu could go back to the mountain in the evening.  The kitchen is steaming with steam, and the dumplings with thin skin and large fillings are rolling up and down in the pot, like big ingots.  Auntie was cooking on the liquefied gas tank, while Zhou Yu took out a brand new statue of the Stove God, a pair of small candles and some incense from the drawer as his mother asked.  Then I went to the cupboard and took out some desserts that my mother made in the afternoon, and prepared to start offering sacrifices to the stove after the dumplings were cooked.  The dumplings were ready after boiling for two. Wang Guilan quickly took out a small bowl with a whisk and put it on the pot, and then put it on the plate.  Because there are many dumplings.  After loading six or seven plates, there was still a lot left in the pot. Wang Guilan took the remaining dumplings onto the curtain, sat in the pot to keep them warm, and finally covered the pot.  Zhou Yu helped his mother bring the hot dumplings to the dinner table.  Zhou Dingguo is currently filming garlic. For Northeasterners, eating dumplings without dipping them in some garlic sauce or vinegar would be a waste of natural resources.  Although the dumplings have been fished out.  Moreover, my aunt has already cooked four dishes, but she can't eat yet.  The Stove Lord hasn't worshiped yet, so how can he eat first?  At this time, Wang Zhijiang and his wife had gone back to their home with a sacrifice, and they would come back for dinner after worshiping the Stove Lord.  Wang Guilan and Zhou Yu put the portrait of Master Zao on a specially recessed place on the wall above the stove. In the portrait, Master Zao is white and fat, with a friendly smile, and his wise eyes are smiling.  It seems that he is very satisfied with the world he oversees.  There is also a couplet on the portrait, with the four characters "head of the family" on the banner. Zaoye is responsible for the human kitchen and food. In the era when food was not enough, he was regarded as the head of the family and hosted the majority of people.  The desire for food and the desire to be able to eat without having to worry about it.  ?On the side is a couplet: "God speaks good things, and the lower world ensures peace."  After pasting the portrait, Zhou Yu lit a pair of small candles on the wooden board in front of the portrait, then lit a few sticks of incense, then placed the bowl of dumplings and a pair of chopsticks that he had just taken out in front of the portrait, and finally added  Place the other prepared food in front of the portrait and invite the Stove Lord to enjoy it.  Those are some vegetarian foods, and most of them are sweets. I hope Mr. Zao can say a few good words in heaven after eating sweets and putting sugar on his mouth.  There is an ancient saying that "men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the stove". The stove sacrifice ceremony is mainly presided over by the head of the family.  Zhoujia Village also followed this custom, so after placing the tributes, Wang Guilan returned to the big house and replaced Zhou Dingguo, and the two men would worship later.  After Zhou Dingguo came out, he glanced at his son, then took out a paper-wrapped pony and grain and grass from his pocket very seriously, then knelt on the ground and burned them together with the old portrait, muttering in his mouth: "Greetings for the stove."  The prince said good things to heaven, and the lower world will be safe." Then he continued to mutter something.  While Zhou Dingguo was doing this, Zhou Yu was sitting next to him with his head down and laughing. It had been a long time since he saw his father offering sacrifices to the stove. It was really interesting to see this scene now.  When he heard the laughter, Zhou Dingguo remembered that his son hadn't knelt down yet, so he glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at, you bastard? Why don't you kneel down for me? Do you think this is a joke?"  Hurry up and pay homage to the Stove Lord and ask him to forgive you. Maybe he will bless you more smoothly in the coming year." Seeing his father's serious look, Zhou Yu didn't dare to act cute at this time, so he quickly knelt down and said nonchalantly.  A whole lot.  Only then did Zhou Dingguo smile.  Seeing his tall and handsome son, Zhou Dingguo suddenly remembered something.  He quickly kowtowed a few times and said, "Grandpa Stove King, go early and come early. Bring a big fat boy. Don't bring someone with a cart or a loader, but someone with a bow and arrow" Zhou Yu couldn't hold back after hearing this.  After smiling and following their father's instructions, the two men stood up and took down the sesame candy and desserts that they had just contributed to the Kitchen God. They entered the room and distributed them to the chatting woman Wang Yunhai and Chef Liu. Everyone happily  Ate a little of everything.  These things have been imbued with spiritual energy, and after being eaten, the whole family can pray for blessings and avoid disasters.  After Wang Zhijiang and his wife came back, everyone started eating dumplings, drinking wine and eating vegetables, and happily spent a peaceful and warm New Year.  Although it is already the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.  But on this day, the entire Zhoujia Village was empty. They all happily went to the greenhouse on Phoenix Mountain to help Zhou Yu pick big cherries.  After several months of growth, coupled with Zhou Yu's regular watering of space water, these big cherries have grown so big that they look like small apricots from a distance, bright red and yellow.  Not to mention eating it, just looking at it can make you drool all over the floor.  Before picking, Zhou Yu said to everyone with a smile: "Aunt, aunt, uncle, lord, today is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. I'm really embarrassed to call everyone over to help, but the big cherries happen to be ripe in these two days. If  If I don¡¯t pick them, they¡¯ll all rot on the tree, and I¡¯ll be in trouble today. Anyway, I didn¡¯t use pesticides on the cherries, so you can eat as much as you can during the picking.  Before you leave, let's take some home and give them to the elderly and children. After all, we haven't eaten anything like this before. Don't be polite to me, or you'll look down on me, okay?"  "Hahaha, you brat, how can you be so prodigal? You still eat while you are eating. Do you really think we are so greedy? And I have heard that the big cherries in winter cost at least seventy or eighty yuan.  It¡¯s a pound, dear, if it¡¯s enough to eat, then you won¡¯t have to pay for it,¡± an old woman in the crowd joked.  "Sister Sister, no matter how much it costs per pound, don't we just have this thing? Even if it costs one thousand yuan per pound, I will be willing to give it to you. Okay, I still say the same thing, don't be polite, just eat what you want.  " "Although Zhou Yu said this, everyone is not a fool. At this time, big cherries can be sold for ancestor prices, especially big cherries like Ergouzi, which are bigger and more juicy, so they must be more expensive.  .  I am here to help, not to cause harm to others, but I must not let Ergouzi suffer any losses.  It is said that this child has been doing a lot for the benefit of the village in the past six months. If it weren't for Ergouzi and his family, they could have earned thirty or forty thousand in the past six months? ?????????????????? It can be said that without Ergouzi, Zhoujiacun would not be what it is today.  So when we were picking cherries, even though everyone was drooling with greed, no one of the adults ate one. They just picked a few for the children who brought them to have a taste.  But there are only a few, and if a child is addicted to eating and asks for it from an adult, he or she will be eaten by the adult.After scolding him for a while, he reluctantly moved out of the greenhouse to play outside, but the expectant look in his eyes before going out was really heartbreaking and unbearable.  Zhou Yu was calling outside to ask when the big truck from the provincial capital would arrive, so he didn't notice this. However, Wang Guilan, who was also picking cherries in the greenhouse, saw all this and stepped forward.  He scolded the villagers who scolded the children, and then gave three small boxes of picked cherries to the children. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? It took two days for the more than two thousand large cherry trees to finish blooming. Only a few unripe ones were left on the trees. The new year was about to come, so Zhou Yu didn't plan to pick any more.  Just keep it for the Chinese New Year and give some to relatives and friends to try.  Zhou Yu has eaten big cherries from other places before. They are delicious, but they still can't compare with his own.  These big cherries I grew are not only big in size, but also bright red or golden in color, exquisite and translucent, delicious and delicate in shape. Their crystal surface looks like it has been coated with a layer of wax, making people drool when they see it.  Take a bite, and a fragrance spreads instantly. It is sweet and slightly sour. The flesh is thick and soft, and the taste is refreshing The total number of big cherries picked can weigh 25,600 kilograms. In addition to pulling them away,  In addition to the 20,000 kilograms, there are still several thousand kilograms in the fresh-keeping warehouse at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, there are still a lot of large watermelons and peaches in the warehouse. It is estimated that the sales will be similar a year ago.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
