The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary
Chapter 257 February 2 Spring Farming Chapter
In the busy time of everyone, the Spring Ploughing Festival arrived as scheduled. On February 2, the dragon raises its head. In farming culture, the dragon raises its head, which indicates the growth of yang energy, more rain, and the vitality of all things. Spring ploughing begins from then on.
The early preparations were not in vain. When the Spring Ploughing Festival began, the whole nation worked hard. The first thing was for the big and small households to use oxen to carry manure and fertilizer to the fields. When the rain cleared on February 2, grass sprouts and vegetables grew at once. The spring rain brought life to all things and nourished the fields. This shows that spring rain is as precious as oil.
According to the custom, children are given a haircut, which is a lucky time when the dragon raises its head, to bless the children to grow up healthily and become successful when they grow up. Children who are beginning to learn to read and write are also given notes, which means that they can write, dress properly, and apply cinnabar to enlighten their wisdom, which means that the children will have clear eyes and minds from then on, and will be able to read and write when they grow up. Traditional customs are always inseparable from food, such as spring pancakes, dragon beard noodles, and wontons.
When there were no children at home, the three sisters Yiyi, Bailu and Yanan would gather together to cook and make spring pancakes. They could make them in their original colors or add vegetable juice, fruit juice and flour to make colorful spring pancakes. Spring pancakes can be baked or steamed. The key is that they are as thin as paper and can be used to roll up various delicious ingredients. Bailu and Yiyi were responsible for rolling out the dough, while Yanan was responsible for baking it.
"How can we make spring rolls without grilled meat? Big sis, what kind of meat should we grill?" Bai Lu tempted Yanan.
"Is roasted pork belly enough? How about adding some mutton?" Yanan also thought of it. He had to finish the spring rolls before he could do other things.
"Slurp! Sure, sure!" Bai Lu pretended to drool.
"Haha, stop being funny! Blanch some bean sprouts, bean curd sheets, and roast some pork belly, then roll them up and you can eat them!" Yiyi was amused by her two sisters.
"We should prepare more vegetables. It's a pity that there are no cucumbers in this season. Otherwise, we could add some shredded cucumber to make it crisp and refreshing! And..." Bai Lu began to use her imagination again and listed many dishes that go with spring rolls in one breath.
"Stop, stop. If you continue doing prenatal education like this, your baby will be a foodie in the future!" Yanan gestured to Bai Lu to shut up.
"Woman, this statement is more appropriate for you. You can't control your mouth just from the beginning. You don't even look like the goddess who strictly controlled her diet in the past!" Bai Lu fought back without showing any weakness.
"Uh... well, I haven't controlled my diet since I came here, and I don't gain weight like before because I couldn't stop eating!" Yanan had discovered this magical thing a long time ago. He used to eat as much as he wanted and would gain several pounds in a week, but now he doesn't gain weight even if he eats as much as he wants.
“Is it possible that what we ate before were things that easily accumulated fat, but now... the ingredients are very healthy and original, without any trace of technology or cruelty at all.” Yiyi also discovered this problem. She also did not need to diet, but she did not have the habit of overeating.
"That's right, this is the biggest advantage. Many species are still in their original appearance and their genes have not changed at all, so you can eat as much as you want without fear! Haha!" Yanan laughed happily.
"The biggest advantage? Isn't it that you are surrounded by several handsome men?!" Bai Lu started to make trouble again.
"You... it's the same to you! Humph!" Yanan bit his lip, glared at her, and pretended to be angry!
"Haha, if I can't beat you, my surname isn't Bai!!!" Bai Lu was very proud of herself after winning a round of bickering!
Yiyi smiled as she watched her two sisters verbally fighting each other. This was their daily routine and they could decide the outcome on their own without her help.
"Just make this one plate of spring rolls. Put the rest in the steaming basket and steam them all together when they are done. I'm going to marinate the pork belly first. My husband can grill and eat it when he gets home from get off work..." Yanan stopped what she was doing and prepared to marinate the pork belly.
"Okay, prepare some beef as well..." Bai Lu reminded worriedly. Since they were waiting for the man to eat together, they needed to prepare more dishes.
"I understand, I understand...you will get what you want..." Yanan said angrily.
In farming culture, festivals are very important, and the way to express this importance is to go home to celebrate the festivals! Ordinary people pay special attention to these days. The reason is that no matter how frugal they are on weekdays, they will prepare one or two delicious meat and vegetable dishes for the whole family to nourish their bodies during the festivals.
Nearing dinner time, nine men showed up at Yanan's house. Some of them had not been home for four or five days, and some had not been home for more than ten days. Now, taking advantage of the holiday, they all went home to get together and share their recent situations.
In addition to the regular dishes and chicken soup on the table, there were various small vegetarian dishes that could be eaten raw, a large pot of wontons, sizzling pork belly and beef tenderloin freshly grilled on a charcoal stove, and a plate of spring rolls.
"It's time for dinner!" Yanan interrupted the brothers who were chatting animatedly and invited everyone to eat.
"Brother, would you like to have a drink tonight as we're celebrating the festival?" Nanchen cheerfully brought out his treasured wine.
"Okay! Everyone, feel free to do as you please!" Ling Wuxin knew that they had been busy outside for many days and it was finally time for them to relax, so he didn't restrict them.
"Okay! Lao Wu, bring the wine bowl!" Nanchen shouted to Hua Heng to give everyone a wine bowl, and he filled it up for everyone himself.
"We don't want it, we want to drink the soup!" Yanan, Bailu and Yiyi covered the mouths of their bowls in unison. Although the alcohol content of the fermented rice wine was very low, they were not fond of drinking, so they would not drink it if they could.
"Come on! Let's drink this bowl of wine for a better life!" Night Owl stood up with the wine bowl and invited everyone to drink!
"Well said! For a better life!" Everyone echoed in unison. Twelve people, nine wine bowls, and three soup bowls, clinked their glasses together and drank it up!
"Husband, try this spring pancake wrapped with pork belly, and add some coriander, bean sprouts, and bean curd sheets. You can mix it any way you like. Hmm... is it delicious?" Yiyi personally rolled a spring pancake for Ling Wuxin and fed it to his mouth.
“…It’s delicious! Whatever flavor you want, I’ll roll one for you!” Ling Wuxin tried this way of eating for the first time. The multiple flavors spreading in his mouth was a very fresh experience.
"I'll eat them all!... Um... Thank you, husband!" Yiyi and Ling Wuxin showed their affection as if no one was around. Although everyone was used to it, it still attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone, why don't you do it yourself? Can you feel full just by watching us eat?" Ling Wuxin gave everyone a cold look, and everyone quickly withdrew their gazes and started to roll their own spring pancakes.
"Hmm... delicious!" With one bite, you can taste the freshness of the meat, the sweetness of the vegetables, and other flavors mixed in. It's a perfect experience.
"Madam, is this the food you are going to make in the future?" After tasting one, Shen Wen moved on to roll another one. However, his mind was not idle, thinking that these might be the business ideas of his madam and sisters.
"No? This is spring pancake. Didn't you make it in previous years?" Yanan then realized that maybe they didn't make spring pancakes in previous years.
"No, on February 2nd, we celebrate the festival by eating dragon beard noodles! Besides, as grown men, we don't have the energy to make such delicate pancakes." Shen Wen replied.
"Oh, I see...then these pancakes wrapped in barbecued meat should be a good business!" Yanan, Bailu and Yiyi said after looking at each other.
"Sister, barbecue restaurants and BBQ restaurants are both good. They have a lot of ingredients that can be used. Do you remember them?" Yiyi suggested to Yanan.
"In that case, we will have noodles on the first floor, barbecue on the second floor, and self-service. We will provide charcoal fire from the grill, ingredients, spring rolls, and drinks!" Bai Lu also expressed her own opinion!
"Can we build a two-story building at the market?" Yanan asked Hua Heng.
"Not at the moment, but it can be added in. I originally planned to build another restaurant near the market! Since you guys want it too, why don't we build it together." Shen Wen suggested.
"No, no need. We are in the market. Dipped noodles are a popular delicacy. As for spring rolls with meat, you can sell them in the restaurant, which will be more appropriate!" Yanan felt that it would cost too much to rebuild a building, and the dipped noodles should be more down-to-earth.
"Okay! I toast to my wife!" Shen Wen clinked bowls with Yanan, and the two even held each other's arms while drinking wine and soup. Now it was Shen Wen and Yanan's turn to interact and show their affection, but because of the previous experience of Yi Yiling Wuxin, everyone turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, and just ate, drank, chatted and played!
