The big pot on the stove is boiling water. The old man is lighting the fire behind the stove. There is a wooden steaming bucket sandwiched on the pot. The upper mouth is slightly larger and the lower one is slightly smaller, which makes it easier to get out the flour.
The bottom is open, and there is a steaming rack made of movable bamboo pieces at the bottom. It looks pointed at the top and rounded at the bottom. There are also white cage steps covering the top to prevent the powder from flowing out and allow the steam to enter the steaming barrel evenly.
"This is flouring. You need to add water to adjust before flouring. This process is called steaming rice. Don't you know?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoye¡¯s curiosity, the old village chief smiled and explained.
¡°I don¡¯t know, I never cared about this before.¡±
Jiang Xiaoye used to only come here to eat rice cakes, why did he think so much?
Yesterday¡¯s rice cake making was just a try. Today all the rice cake team members have moved in and wiped everything clean. Uncle Dali is leading the preparations.
This is a panel three meters long, one wide and two inches thick. There are several thick wooden benches placed underneath. There are buckets underneath to catch the leaking water. The board has a long head and a knife groove.
The two of them sat on the pole at both ends of the bamboo. Sitting on the pole is a physical activity with no skills at all. There are few people nowadays. It is estimated that people¡¯s buttocks and thighs will be sore after beating rice cakes.
The rice cake team is short of manpower, naturally there are only a few people.
??He Laogou came, holding the sleepy Erniu in his arms, so many people couldn't help but look at him. What is this He Laogou doing here who is not doing his job? You must know that He Laogou never works.
In the past, I would go hunting in the mountains to support my family, and my archery skills were superb.
"Uncle He, here we come."
Jiang Xiaoye immediately went over to say hello.
"Well, what do you want me to do?" He Laogou promised his daughter, so he naturally remembered it, so he brought Erniu over before dawn.
"But why did you bring Er Niu?" Can't you just let her wake up and do it yourself?
Jiang Xiaoye was speechless, but did not ask.
"There is a shortage of people sitting on the pole."
Jiang Xiaoye gestured.
"It's easy. You and I can do it. Do you need anyone else? Get out of the way!"
He Laogou carried Erniu over, and then said: "Xiao Ye, let's go together."
Sitting on the bar was completely unnecessary for He Laogou. He just signaled to Jiang Xiaoye, one person on each side, and directly pressed with his hands.
He Laogou's reputation in the village is definitely better than that of Zhao Wuliu, and no one wants to provoke him. Those who are taking advantage of him quickly get out of the way.
Erniu also woke up, and was soon attracted by the smell of rice cakes. After sliding down from He Laogou's arms, she looked here and there, her mouth watering with greed.
With He Laogou and Jiang Xiaoye taking action, the speed has obviously accelerated a lot.
"Woof woof woof!"
Until dawn, Jiang Xiaoye heard Xiao Hei's cry. Li Lan came with Taotao, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui came at the same time.
The prepared rice cake can be eaten directly, but it can be stored for a long time after drying.
Taotao and Erniu were already eagerly watching people cutting rice cakes.
The rice cakes are cut into large pieces first and then cut into small strips, which are called rice cake flowers.
"Come on, Erniu, Taotao, have a taste!"
Li Lan also came to help. He cut the strips and dipped them in sugar and gave them to Erniu and Taotao. The two little girls ate them quickly.
"Woof woof woof!" Xiao Hei was so anxious outside that he wanted to give Master Xiao Hei a bite. Master Xiao Hei was chased by the pig's nose all night last night, and his stomach was growling!
Starting to make the cake, Jiang Xiaoye and He He Laogou no longer had to sit on the bar. Uncle Dali cut the cake into four pieces first, then wrapped them in cloth to keep them warm, and started working busily.
"Now there are fewer and fewer people making rice cakes. The last time I went to the county for a meeting, the county said that there are fewer and fewer people farming. They no longer farm. There are countless delicious things. Many customs have disappeared. .¡±
The old village chief sighed with emotion.
"The more this happens, the more certain things need to be preserved."
Jiang Xiaoye wiped his hands. Many customs have indeed disappeared. If it weren't for him, this rice cake team probably wouldn't be able to survive next year.
"yes."
With the development of the times, some old customs are disappearing.
At eight o'clock, the place was already bustling with activity. A group of children came to grab the corners of the rice cakes to eat. Xiao Hei was so angry that he rolled on the spot. These are all the things Mr. Xiao Hei likes! ! !
But it¡¯s obvious that there¡¯s no chance, and the children have almost taken over it.
Taotao actually took a few pieces of New Year¡¯s EveHe ran over, stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Hei, here it is!"
"Woof?"
Xiao Hei glanced at Taotao, are you so kind? I often wanted to beat Mr. Xiaohei before!
"Here you go, give Taotao a beating!"
"Woof!"
Xiao Hei was so angry that he was rolling on the spot, he couldn¡¯t live anymore, he couldn¡¯t survive this day!
Eating cakes, playing dogs and hitting Xiao Hei, this is what Erniu passed on to Taotao. Taotao thinks about it every day, so that Xiao Hei is often patted by Taotao for no reason.
"Uncle, we are going to invite the villagers to celebrate soon. The conditions at home are not bad now. Do you think what standards we will use?"
Li Lan has been thinking about this matter these days. You must know that in the village, banquets are only held for big happy events.
Now that the family is not short of money, Li Lan just wants to do something nice and give Taotao a good memory.
"This is it."
Hearing this, the old village chief thought for a while and said: "On weekdays, there are usually eight big bowls, and the best one is naturally Lao Siba. This is a big banquet. No one in the village has ever served it like this."
Jiang Xiaoye, the fourth child in the village, had heard of it, and he had heard it from the old man¡¯s mouth.
"Second Grandpa, how many dishes does Lao Siba have? Thirty-two dishes?"
"Four eight thirty-two, Jiang Xiaoye can still guess this."
The old village chief nodded and said: "Yes, thirty-two dishes, four fruit plates, four plates, four sweet and four salty, four large plates, eight hot bowls, two large items, one soup and one rice." , this is Lao Si Ba, there are too many Lao Si Ba dishes, and generally they are wasted if you can¡¯t eat them. No one in the village can afford to serve them, and the cost of this table is unbearable. "
Such a cost is really unacceptable.
Especially in mountain villages.
But Jiang Xiaoye doesn¡¯t care at all now. He has no problem treating the whole village to a banquet every day.
"This is OK, this is it!"
Li Lan said happily: "What do you need to buy? I bought them all today!"
There are too many ingredients that need to be bought. For hundreds of people in the village to eat, a table for ten people will need dozens of tables.
"I'll ask the village chef to make a list later. I remember he said before that there are twelve table dishes, four dishes, pork belly, pig ears, pig heart, preserved eggs, etc., and There are nuts, dried fruits and the like. In fact, it doesn¡¯t need to be too traditional. The last four bowls are important, meat slices, Sixi meatballs, chicken, fish and so on. The big ones include whole chickens and fish, but also pork chops and pork knuckles. There are too many, I¡¯ll ask you later!¡±
The old village chief knows many things in the village, but he does not fully understand them.
