Chapter 110 Pairs

Su Shi smiled and didn't take it seriously: "The imperial court selects scholars based on articles. In the past six months, you have been somewhat neglecting the good and chasing the bad. Even if you think this thing is of great use, you must first ascend to the emperor's palace, and then you can show your talents, right? Wait for the translation

After you enter school during the Chinese New Year, Ziyou and I will urge you to put your mind on this first. If you can write such a poem before you are six years old, hehehehe... I am from the Su family, and I dare to compete with the world's heroes with my articles!"

Well, you are a bold person, whatever you say makes sense!

Before Su You had time to answer, Su Shi took his hand and went out: "Let's go, let's do some stir-fry first! Put more spicy rice oil! The spicy rice oil you have here is so satisfying!"

The Spring Festival customs of the Song Dynasty are not much different from those of later generations.

It is customary to worship the stove on the 23rd, sweep the dust on the 24th, affix the sacred tea and Yulei, hang peach charms, and hang the clock.

The shaved pig soup is simmering. The girls are now experts at the pot, and everyone has a specialty dish.

Bacon and sausages have also been made, and there is an additional style. Suyou uses wheat sauce, spices, and soy sauce to make a paste and brushes the meat and hangs it up. This is flavored sauce meat.

We also killed a lot of chickens and ducks, and hung them with salt. Wind chicken and duck were also must-have delicacies during the Chinese New Year.

But Su Shi will have to eat it next time he comes, and now he is just making preparations.

Su Shi was so satisfied with a meal of butchered pig vegetables that he refused to leave. After eating meat porridge the next morning, he found a pile of red papers and said: "Come on, come on, Mingrun, let's play with the pair."

Su You rolled his eyes: "It's not that I want to drive you away. It's time for cousin Mingyun to get home, right?"

Su Shi said: "There is one day left. I will go back after dinner in the evening. Are you afraid of confronting me?"

Speaking of this, Su You became dissatisfied. I had memorized the joint letter back then, so I was still afraid of you?!

He raised his hand and called Su Xiaomei over: "Little sister, remember to celebrate the new year."

Su Shi laughed so hard: "You even played with me about the time-honored brand Jiajiehao Changchun."

"Five clouds welcome the dawn sun"

“Wanfu Ji Xin Huan.”

"Xu Ai Zhi Lan Mao"

"Smoke the organ!"

"Taiyi comes to Zhuhu!"

"Chang Geng circles the jade beam!"

"Open the door and climb the Yellow Pavilion!"

"Open the door and see Ziyun!"

…

Su Shi really has high standards and strict requirements for himself. This is no longer a couplet, but a couplet. Su You admires and admires Po Xian, and Po Xian is indeed Po Xian.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them got hundreds of sentences right. They changed the rhyme a few times, and Miss Su couldn't keep up: "Slow down!"

Su You said again: "Wait a minute and I will come again to open a new rhythm in the Four Seasons."

"If there is a problem later, uh, Sanyang Yingqingzhen. Hey, let me tell you, this is not a problem. Why is it you and I who are to blame?"

"Haha, who said you can't come out faster than me? There are already a hundred or so, right? That's enough! Then I'll trouble you Zi Zhan to copy it, little sister, withdraw!"

"Mingrun, you are cheating! Come back here!"

Hachiko laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows. He came up and blocked Su Shi: "Shi'er, you have worked so hard. You have written it down. Now it is enough for the whole village. It is so festive to put it up in red!"

Su Shi didn't dare to deny Hachigong's face, so he could only write the couplet obediently while muttering.

Su You quietly turned around again: "There are four words on the door beam, called Hengpi."

Su Shi raised his head and glared: "Go away!"

Hachigong looked at Su Shi with a smile: "Shi'er, you don't even need to take a look at the content of my little sister's record just now?"

Su You smiled and said: "He is a top student, he already remembers it in his heart."

Hachiko nodded: "It's awesome. Little sister, please put the manuscript away. If you are not here in the future, please ask a scholar to copy it. These auspicious words will be used every year."

There was still a lot of preparation work for the New Year, and in a blink of an eye the study was empty, leaving Su Shi alone there writing couplets.

You must prepare a lot of food for the New Year, including fried meatballs, fried crispy meat, boiled white meat, stewed chicken, stewed duck, stewed goose, and various vegetables.

Children like sweets, and Su You is teaching the girls how to make rice krispie treats, which later became a famous snack in southern Sichuan.

The large glutinous rice used for rice krispie treats is removed from impurities, washed with clean water, soaked in clean water overnight, put into a steamer, steamed, and poured on a bamboo mat. After cooling, it is scattered and dried in the shade to become rice again. This kind of rice

It's called "yin rice".

Yin rice can be stored for a long time, and Su You has prepared a sweet dish for the children when they come to celebrate the New Year.

Now, make the crispy rice first. Pour the Yin rice into the pot and fry it over low heat. When the rice is slightly cooked, pour an appropriate amount of melted sugar boiling water into the rice. Stir the rice and sugar boiling water evenly, then put it in the pot.

Cover it in a dustpan for a while, then spread it out and dry it until the surface is dry, then use oil to crisp the rice until it swells.

When crisping the rice, the oil temperature should be low, and the amount of rice should not be too much each time. If you want it to be fragrant, you must add some lard. After the rice is soaked, drain the oil and sift out the dry rice grains that have not been soaked to make crispy rice.

.

The puffy rice has expanded several times compared to the rice grains, and can actually be eaten as popcorn.

Next, boil the sugar, put the icing sugar and malt sugar into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to mix, turn on low heat and simmer the syrup. At the beginning, large bubbles will appear in the pot. Slowly turn into dense small bubbles, and the syrup begins to change color.

, the sugar is ready at this time.

Put the fried peanut kernels, peach kernels and crispy rice in the pot and stir evenly, grease the wooden box with oil, put the mixture into the basin, sprinkle with icing sugar, cooked sesame seeds, dried fruits, sugar osmanthus, smooth it out, spread it tightly, and use

Cut it into pieces with a knife, let it cool, then put it in a jar and seal it to prevent moisture.

When you need to give it to someone, take it out and wrap it in wax paper, it will be a good gift.

When the rice was fried, Su Shi came out again: "What is so fragrant? What is this?"

He grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in his mouth: "Not bad, not bad, yo, it's also sweet..."

Su You broke off a piece of the finished product for him: "This is for you, it tastes better."

Su Shi took it: "Humph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"

Are you too lazy to pay attention to me and you take my rice krispie treats?! Su You has a black line on his forehead: "You move very fast!"

Su Shi smiled slightly: "Where is the thousand-character essay that is untouchable every day?"

Su You pulled him: "Let's go, I'll give you a reward, we'll make dumplings tonight!"

Dumplings are not called dumplings now, but are called winter wontons or New Year wontons. They are only eaten during the Chinese New Year, and are eaten soaked in noodle soup. They are a type of soup cake.

Su You led Su Shi to a field and said, "I'm going to show you a new dish today."

There are two soil ridges on the edge of the field, and a straw pile in the middle of the soil ridges.

Su You used a rake to pull the straw pile to one end of the ridge. It turned out that under the straw pile was a long Nandi pole roll mat.

The roll mat is also rolled onto the head of the ridge. There is a wooden support frame under the roll mat. Under the shelf, there is a thin vegetable with a snow-white bottom and bright yellow top.

Su Shi clapped his hands: "Chives!"

"Damn! You actually know him?"

"I don't know, but I read in the book that there are farmers in Bianjing who use their cellars to grow leeks. The leeks they grow are yellow and white, which is called leek yellow. They are a rare vegetable in winter and are sold at a very high price."

Su You shook his head: "Is it so complicated to use a cellar? Then we can make a fortune by going to Bianjing and growing leeks!"

Su Shi picked up the long-handled sickle and pressed it against the root of the leek and pulled it back. The leek was cut down one after another: "Ha, it's really easy!"

Su You smiled and said: "That's because the leek is too tender!"

Seeing that Su Shi was addicted to cutting, Su You quickly stopped him and tied a few big bundles with straw: "That's enough. I'll cut the rest tomorrow. You can send it to several companies in the city. It's a token of my gratitude."

Su Shi shook his head: "The product produced by Mingrun is a high-quality product, and the thoughtfulness is also precious."

Su You said: "If you know how to plant it, it's actually very simple, and it's highly productive. If you cut it one crop after another, it won't grow well if you don't mow it."

While talking, the two of them pulled back the mat and covered it, then pulled the straw back to spread it. Su You diluted the dung water and poured it on the straw: "Let's go back and make dumplings!"

There are many things that can be made with equidistant spirals, such as the feed chute of a meat grinder.

Therefore, a meat grinder with a cast iron casing is not a problem here in Suyou.

Su Shi watched the strips of meat go down from the top, and then put the minced meat out through the opening of the meat grinder, which Liu Si worked hard to stir the handle. He was also amazed: "This thing is sold to restaurants to make meatballs. It is so convenient."

Su You smiled and said: "That's right, otherwise why would the meatballs over there be blown up so much! The minced meat filling is actually not as delicious as the minced meat filling, but because there are too many people and it is too hard to chop the meatballs, we use this one."
