The Resplendent Farming Apothecary

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, sugar and melons are sticky, and this day is to sacrifice to the Lord of the Kitchen. According to the Southern Song Dynasty Fan Chengda's Sacrificial Kitchen Ci: In ancient times, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen master wanted to talk to the sky. The cloud car, wind and horses were small, and the family was full of cups and plates. The regiment. The man will give his daughter to avoid it, and the wine will burn and the stove will be happy.

The custom of celebrating a new year in the capital of Dongling Kingdom is similar to that of the Song Dynasty. According to legend, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God would report to the Jade Emperor the affairs of each family. In order to prevent the Kitchen God from speaking ill of the family in front of the Jade Emperor, every family would sacrifice the Kitchen God with wine and dishes the day before, including pig heads and Pisces. Cannibals have a soft mouth and accept the worship of the Kitchen God, so they are embarrassed to talk nonsense.

In addition to that, make stovetop sugar. The meaning is to stick to the mouth of the kitchen king and prevent him from making a petty complaint in front of the emperor. All in all, as soon as the day dawned, the town began to get busy.

Gu Ye was wearing a mink dress, which looked thin, but it was actually warmer than wearing three layers of cotton-padded clothes. It was rare for her to get up early. After washing up, she went into the small kitchen and discussed with Aunt Yan about making stove candy.

In addition to making the most traditional sugar made from yellow rice and malt, Gu Ye also made sesame cakes and peanut cakes. In addition, I also made a simple rice cracker machine to fry rice and wheat rice crackers to make rice crackers candy. There are many kinds, and the taste is many times better than traditional stove sugar.

As for the pig's head, after the pig's head was cleaned up early in the morning, it was stewed with a secret sauce for most of the day, and it was crispy and fragrant. Before the pot was boiled, the fragrance wafted out far away, hooking the two greedy bugs Chu Xiaowu and Chu Xiaoliu.

Because of his injury, Gu Ye had long been greedy for meat after a long period of torture with a light diet and supplements. When I was very young in my previous life, a caring person in the orphanage donated a sum of money, and the dean's grandma happily improved the meals for the children.

I remember there is a meat dish, which is braised pork head, and each child is divided into five or six pieces. In her memory, the fragrant braised pig's head meat, for a long time in the future, she dreamed of eating pig's head meat, and one person held a big pig's head, the kind of enjoyment!

After wearing it, although the people here also eat pig's head, it is either boiled in water or stewed with other dishes. The taste is really not flattering. Gu Ye had never really dabbled in the recipe for braised vegetables. Since she rescued Aunt Yan, although she had mentioned it a few times in front of Aunt Yan, what she made was not always the taste she remembered.

Fortunately, she has a tricky tongue. After years of her tasting and verification, after editing and editing, she finally touched the threshold of braised pork head meat. From the smell of this pot of braised pig's head, at least the fragrance in the color and fragrance has reached the standard of full marks. The color looks good, but I don't know how it tastes.

There are a total of two pig heads in this pot, one is used to worship the Lord of the Kitchen, and the other is used by Gu Ye to beat his teeth. She got into the kitchen early in the morning, and the big reason was that she was thinking about this pot of braised pork head.

One of the marinated pig heads was brought to the big kitchen before the sacrifice. Pisces and other offerings are prepared in the large kitchen. The small kitchen in the Pearl Pavilion is only responsible for the pig's head and stove sugar that Gu Ye is interested in.

Sacrifice to the Lord of the Stove has always been performed by the man in the family. Busy all day, the sacrifice is carried out at night. The men put the sacrificial candy and all kinds of good wine and good dishes in front of the tablet of the Lord of the Kitchen, lighted incense candles, set off firecrackers, and Mr. Chu recited prayers, mainly to pray for blessings and safety.

After praying, the statue of the Kitchen King was lifted from the wall, lightly rubbed on his mouth with cooking sugar, placed on a paper and burned immediately, and at the same time, he shouted, Send the Kitchen Lord on horseback to ascend to heaven, and the sacrifice was over.

Gu Ye didn't participate in the sacrifice. These sacrifices were all told to her by her brothers. At this time, she was hiding in the small kitchen, eating the braised pork head beautifully. This time, Aunt Yan finally succeeded. The taste of pig's head and meat was exactly the taste she missed most in her memory.

The freshly marinated pork head meat is extremely tender, fat but not greasy. Gu Ye squatted beside the stove, holding a knife in his hand, cut out pieces of pork head meat, and kept stuffing it into his mouth. The full moon on the side was startling. The girl's body is just getting better. Will eating so much greasy pork head go wrong?

Gu Ye rolled her eyes at her and said, No common sense. Braised pork head has the effect of nourishing the body and nourishing yin. Malnutrition and anemia should eat this!

Really? Girl, you won't fool the slaves to eat two more bites of meat, right? Yue Yuan saw that the girl had eaten six or seven slices, but still didn't want to stop, so she couldn't help but want to stop her.

Gu Ye cut a large piece of fat and thin pork head meat, stuffed it into Moon Yuan's mouth, and blocked her mouth: Are you a doctor, or am I a doctor? I use the reputation of a doctor to guarantee that the remarks just now are absolutely true. No falsehood!

Wow! Little girl, you're hiding here and stealing food. We've caught you! Chu Xiaowu smelled the fragrance and rushed in, and behind him was Chu Xiaoliu, who was sniffing deeply.

Gu Ye straightened up, and the knife in his hand pointed at him bit by bit: How did you talk? What is stealing? I call it honest eating! What? The sacrifice ahead is over?

Chu Xiaowu gently pushed her hand, pushed the tip of the knife away from him, nodded and said, Yeah! It's over! Little sister, it smells so good, quickly cut a piece for fifth brother and taste it!

Gu Ye cut a large piece of pork head meat with more fat and less weight, and stuffed it into Fifth Brother's hands. Chu Xiaowu said with some disgust: How can I eat this, it's too fat!

I like it or not! Gu Ye was about to grab the pork head and meat back.

Chu Xiaowu quickly stepped aside, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and took a small bite at the meat in his hand—Huh? Crisp is suitable, fragrant but not greasy, and the taste is really unique. He ate the braised pork head in three or two mouthfuls, and then stared at the pork head on the little girl's plate covetously.

Delicious, right? Pig's head meat is still enjoyable to eat fat! Gu Ye said, and cut a few more arches for the sixth brother, which is the essence of pig's head meat and her favorite. Being able to give up points to Chu Xiaoliu shows how much she loves and values ​​this brother.

Hey! Just know that you two stinky boys went to your sister's place to eat and drink again... Wow, it's so delicious! Baby girl, quickly cut a few slices for Dad to taste. The figure of Duke Zhen Guo appeared. At the door of the small kitchen, seeing his sons and daughters eating deliciously, he couldn't help but step in.

Gu Ye's mouth was oily, and when she saw her father, she couldn't help but say, Father, after the ceremony of sacrificing the stove, won't we start dinner? Why did you come to your daughter?

That's right! Dinner is at the 'Fu Shou Tang'. I'm afraid you don't know. Daddy came here to tell you. Duke Zhen Guo gulps down the braised pork head. After eating several pieces in a row, he sighed contentedly. , Daughter, the craftsmanship of your small kitchen is getting better and better. Even the royal chefs in the palace have no such craftsmanship.

Fushoutang is the main hall of the yard where grandpa lives. Usually, the New Year's party is there. Even if he doesn't say it, Gu Ye knows it. Besides, the servants and servants of the maids in the family are not decorations, so why should Duke Zhen Guo come over to inform them in person?

Father, if you are greedy for meat, say it clearly, don't use the guise of your daughter to trick you into eating meat! Gu Ye saw his father and two older brothers grabbing meat to eat like a hungry tiger, and quickly slapped the rest of his mouth and mouth. All cut and hidden.

Duke Zhen tore off a large piece of pork head, opened his mouth and took a big bite, sighing: If there is a jar of wine, it will be even more beautiful. Men, you should drink in a big bowl and eat meat! What vegetarian food, too Fainted!

The ancestor of the Chu family seems to be near Shangcai, Henan. From the records of Duke Zhenguo, most of the evenings in the family’s childhood were mainly vegetarian food such as noodles, and no meat was allowed. Also pay attention to eating as much as possible, what is it called... filling the warehouse. What fills the warehouse is simply filling the duck. For the Chu family, who have no love for meat, this custom is simply torture.

No, Duke Zhen, Chu Xiaowu, and Chu Xiaoliu knew that Gu Ye's small kitchen had marinated two pig heads, so they quietly touched them before the meal, and talked about it first. The food used for sacrifices can only be eaten after twenty-four.

In the Fushou Hall, the family sat around a large round table. Zheng Guogong volunteered to call someone, and the others waited left and right, but no one came back for a long time. Jun's and Zhen Guogong have been husband and wife for decades. If you don't know his intentions, he smiled and said to Mr. Chu, Daughter-in-law, go to Mingzhu Pavilion to see.

When I arrived at the Pearl Pavilion, when I asked, all of the masters were in the small kitchen. When I went in, I saw that the father was fighting for food with his two sons. Jun Shi was angry and funny: It's better for you to call your daughter to dinner. You can eat it here first, and let everyone at the table wait for you.

Duke Zhen had a strong desire to survive and said: Madam, our daughter has made another delicious dish. These two stinky boys almost ate all the dishes. I finally managed to grab it from them for you. Some. You two, it's too outrageous. There are delicious food, and I don't know how to save some for your mother...

Chu Xiaowu, Chu Xiaoliu: ...a pig's head, who grabbed it and ate most of it?

Gu Ye took out the essence that he had hidden, and said politely: Mother, I have left you the most delicious part. You can try it...

The Jun family enjoyed her daughter's filial piety quite a bit. She waited for her two sons with a glance and said, It's better to have a daughter. A daughter is the most caring little padded jacket for parents. It's better to raise a son than to raise a cat. When you're happy, you can rush to you. Meow a few times...

The two brothers, who are not as good as cats, looked helplessly at their own sister-the little girl who was a powerful brother. Since she came, all kinds of tricks and tricks have coaxed her father and mother to the point where they couldn't find the North. They have also become negative teaching materials that are disliked by their parents in various ways. Alas... It's really sad to have parents who prioritize girls over boys!
