Stylistic road

The second day after the holiday is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the Northern New Year.

The custom of Northwest Shandong is that on this evening, he will cook a delicious meal, and then send the stove prince back to the heaven to report his work.

Usually some cakes, such as sticky cakes, are used to stick to Lord Stove’s mouth so that he doesn’t say bad things; and to sweeten Stove Lord’s heart, so that he can only say good things. .

When the couplet is posted on New Year's Eve, I will invite people back and continue to guard the kitchen stove.

It had been cloudy for a long time, but finally it snowed last night. It was so heavy that it didn't stop almost all night.

However, Chen Mingliang was really tired yesterday and was not in the mood to enjoy the snow.

The last pig was cleaned up very late.

After the neighbors happily took the pork away, he wanted to help his mother cook pig blood, clean the pig belly and pig intestines, clean up the hair on the pig's feet, then smash the pig bones and pile them in the pot with seasoning Accompany it, fill it with water and prepare to simmer it overnight.

Wait for the meat to fall apart the next day before removing the meat residue from the bones.

Only then can I go to sleep, the snow has already fallen heavily.

I woke up early this morning and was of course called by my mother.

The work is not finished yet. You can take a break this year, but you have to finish the rest of the work yesterday.

First cut out the minced meat from the pork bones with a knife, and then help pour it into the pork belly;

Then pour a mixture of pig blood, minced meat, starch, etc. into the intestines. This is the blood sausage.

When they are all tied up, put them in the pot and cook together. Replace the spare part of the pot with pig bones. There are not many other things, but there are many pig bones.

Re-ignite the bottom of the pot and cook.

Then I was going to sweep the way out again. The snow was very thick and I had to use a spade to shovel. The muddy water of yesterday was frozen solid today.

Also go to the roof to remove the snow from the roof.

I will cook when I'm done.

Because at this time Zhang Chunhua is going to wait for Chen to get up tomorrow. The child is still young and feels like getting up and needs to coax him for a while.

Chen Mingliang discusses breakfast in the kitchen.

He used a briquette stove to make a pot of millet porridge and steamed a few white flour cakes by the way.

Several people had breakfast in the cold morning.

Chen Mingliang washed the dishes, Zhang Chunhua put on her boots and went out for the New Year Fair, so she didn't take her brother with her on a snowy day.

However, the younger brother has three pig urine bubbles to play, and it is not too much trouble. After all, he is in the first grade.

Of course, he wouldn't be bored at home. He had already gone out to find Xiaoxia and the others to show off, and today he is going to play in the snow.

I'm finally free, so take a break.

Just after sitting by the stove for a while, Chen Dongfang brought two friends from the same village to come and play with him.

The two children who followed were brothers.

They are also twins. They are the same ugly, but their names are very beautiful. The eldest is Chen Liwen and the second is Chen Liwu. The brothers are capable of both civil and military.

The real name is pretty good, but the nickname is a bit embarrassing.

I don't know who gave this nickname. Anyway, I have called it since I was a child. One of them is called Gangdan and the other is called Irondan. You know it is very hard by the name, but I don't know who is stronger.

Double eggs work together, and its profit breaks gold.

Chen Mingliang was not stingy in his hospitality. He had just killed three pigs and there were many pig bones.

He directly took the enamel basin and carried a whole basin of pig bones to entertain his friends.

After all, it hasn't been Chinese New Year, and I haven't seen Xunxuan for a long time, and the three of them ate like a hungry wolf.Chen Dongfang is no exception. There is no image of beautiful men.

After eating the bones, everyone drank another big bowl of bone soup, feeling that the soup was about to reach his throat, and then stopped.

Several people gathered around the stove to rest for a while.

Chen Dongfang just said that it snowed yesterday, let's go catch the rabbit.

"I brought a net, and Gangdan has a small dog in their house, and they also brought a fork. If you encounter a badger or dog, you will have hand rub for several years."

Catching rabbits, this can be.

Chen Mingliang agreed happily, this is indeed possible, this kind of life has not been experienced for many years, and there is a kind of pleasure of going out hunting.

The four people walked together and set off toward the riverbank field.

There is no time to catch a hare in winter. On a sunny day, catch it with a net or shoot with a gun, and you can catch it directly in snow.

The best time to catch a hare is definitely after the snow.

The main reason is that it is easy to find the traces of rabbits, and the footprints can be seen from a long distance when they step on the snow.Moreover, rabbits can't run fast in the snow, and people can easily catch them.

Chenzhuang is by the Yellow River.

The Yellow River embankment is very well repaired. The inner and outer sides of the embankment are built with stones, and the seams are filled with cement, which is very strong.

Rabbits can't and can't nest here.

The second embankment of the Yellow River is different.

The so-called second embankment of the Yellow River is actually the embankment of the artificial canal derived from the Yellow River.

The canal is used for agricultural irrigation. During the flood season, it also serves as a drain to prevent the Yellow River from bursting.

The configuration of the second embankment is not good, it is piled up with pure yellow soil, with some wild shrubs growing on it.

The source of this loess pile is the soil accumulated by dredging and digging the river every year, and when it accumulates, it becomes a river embankment.

At present, Lanxiang Technical School is not well-known, and there are not many excavators. In rural areas, digging rivers and dredging silt mainly depends on manual digging, which is still a grand event.

In fact, this is a bit similar to the ancient service.

There are about 20 days to a month in winter every year.The villages brought their own dry food, and they had to eat and live on the river embankment. The men worked collectively to clean the silt at the bottom of the river manually to prevent it from affecting the irrigation in the coming year.

This kind of river bank is most suitable for drilling holes.

In addition to mice, there are hares and badgers who love to punch.

The hare is very common and cannot be extinct.

There were fewer badgers, and later they became protected animals.

Badger meat is average, badger skin is fine, and badger oil is a good thing.

Badger, also called Badger Ba Gouzi in Dongshan.In fact, it looks a bit like a dog. It is fierce and can bite. It is not easy to grasp with bare hands. Use a fork.

Speaking of badgers, I unconsciously think of Xi, then think of the boy Runtu written by Mr. Lu Xun, and then think of the singing Zhang Jie...

What is this and what.

Badgers are good things, but it is more difficult to catch them.

Tiedan still brought two forks, of course they need to be cleaned, because these forks are usually used to fork cow dung, otherwise, you know.

A group of people packed up and went out.

They all wear hats with big ears on their heads and plastic sheets on their feet to prevent snow from entering.

I resisted a dung fork on my shoulder and took a few snakeskin bags, one of which contained matches, straw paper, kerosene, sulfur, chili powder, etc.

Very rich experience and complete materials.

They are all local experiences accumulated over the years.

I walked to the embankment in a while.

The weather today is fine, there is no wind, although the weather is not clear, but it will not be so uncomfortable.

It's still cold, but I feel very happy.

Fortunately, I saw a black hole just on the embankment, which was obviously a rabbit nest.

The hole has been pushed open by the rabbit, and there are still a few footprints at the door. The rabbit's footprints are very rhythmic.

The two hind legs are joined together, the left leg is in front of the two front legs, and the right leg is behind, jumping and walking.

The rabbit went out to explore the way in the morning and did not go far.

Because the footprint is just this small piece, after all, the snow is still too big, the rabbit should be in the hole.

Sure enough, after letting go of the fine dog, the dog yelled at the hole desperately, which was a different breath.

I looked around again, but didn't see other exits from the rabbit hole.

However, there must be other outlets for the Three Caves of Guitu, but it was covered by snow.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, in such a deep snow, the rabbit can't run fast and can't run far.

I folded some branches from the surrounding area, some were dry and some were wet.It was broken, poured kerosene, and then took out the straw paper from the pocket, lit it, and stuffed it into the rabbit hole with some sulfur.

The branches burned violently under the urge of kerosene, crackling.Throw a little more wet grass and leaves in, and it starts to smoke violently.

If it's not enough, throw in the chili powder.

The smoke and sulphur smell filled the cave, and there would be a feeling of suffocation. It is really impossible to pee into it, and the smell will be even more irritating.

Don't talk about the smell of rabbits, even people can't stand it.

Sure enough, three or five minutes later, a rabbit suddenly jumped up from the snow. The small dog reacted the fastest. He caught up in a few steps and came back biting the rabbit.

This did not end. Not long after the first rabbit went out, another rabbit ran out from behind.

They were still a couple. The rabbits in front had planned to use themselves to lead the enemy away, but the whole army was eventually wiped out.

I caught 7 hares in half a day, all of them were quite fat and big, at least five or six catties apiece.

Although I didn't meet the badger, I was able to harvest.

The second river embankment has reached its end, and the Yellow River embankment is in front of it. If you find it further, you will have to go to the other side of the river.

The ice in the river is not thick when it snows, and it is not safe to cross the river directly.

If you want to pass, you have to go around the Yellow River embankment.

The Yellow River has also frozen.Covered with snow, it has the feeling of Qinyuanchun written by ***.

The Yellow River is an aboveground river, and the fields along the river need to be irrigated by the Yellow River.

Protection is difficult, and water diversion is very convenient.

Just pick up the culvert from the Yellow River, pass through the sluice, and release it into the artificial river outside.

To ensure safety, there are sluices on the inside and outside of the culverts of the Yellow River.

Whenever there is a shortage of water, both gates are lifted at the same time to release water.

Therefore, the water intake of each artificial river has a special duty officer, who is officially staffed.

Career is important, but work is very leisurely.

They will also lay nets at the exit of the culvert, using iron nets raised and lowered by pulleys, with cages, while releasing water while catching fish. This is their means of generating income.

Today, there is no one in the duty room.

Let's go catch the fish, the Yellow River carp is big!

I don't know who made the suggestion. Everyone agreed.

Several people packed the rabbits into the bag, and catching fish is more fun than catching rabbits.

Open the gate and release the water to catch the big yellow carp!
