The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

"Oh, Shitou, can you please not hit my hand?" Su Weixi shouted with bared teeth.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry, I'll try again." Shi Tou stopped what he was doing but still wanted to try again.

"Okay, you step back and let me do it." Shen Jingzhou watched the two people bickering, afraid that his stupid guard would really piss off the little girl, so he spoke out to stop them.

After saying this, Shen Jingzhou took the wooden hammer for beating glutinous rice cake from Shitou's hand.

In Su Weixi's previous life, because her grandmother was from the Buyi ethnic group in the southwest region, the family has continued the tradition of making glutinous rice cakes on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This morning, after Su Weixi got up, she steamed the glutinous rice that she had soaked the day before.

Shitou saw Su's father beating the glutinous rice cake in the mortar with a wooden hammer and wanted to try it. However, because he was not skilled, he would occasionally hit Su Weixi who was using a wooden spoon to scrape the glutinous rice cake away from the mortar.

That's why Su Weixi got angry. What he didn't expect was that after Shen Jingzhou took the wooden hammer, the strength and angle of the hammering were perfectly coordinated with the movements of Su Weixi's hands.

Soon, after quarter of an hour, the glutinous rice cake was ready.

Su Weixi first pinched a piece of glutinous rice cake into a ball in his hand, then flattened it, and after some modification it became a round pancake.

Pinch a little more glutinous rice cake and knead it into three small balls. Place them on the round glutinous rice cake made earlier and stick them together with the help of the stickiness of the glutinous rice cake itself.

He quickly made a few more, six in total, and placed them all on a bamboo plate and handed it to Dad Su.

Dad Su picked it up and walked outside the courtyard gate. Two whole blanched chickens and wine glasses were already placed on the ground.

He put the bamboo plate containing the glutinous rice cake on the ground and started burning paper with Su Ma, muttering something in a low voice, but others could not hear it clearly.

Shi Tou looked at Su's father's mysterious actions and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Su, what are the uncle and aunt doing?"

"Shi Tou, don't talk too much. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Shen Jingzhou stopped his stupid guard because he could see that this was some kind of sacrifice.

"Mr. Shen, don't be too nervous. My father is offering sacrifices to my grandparents and my great-grandparents. This is our family tradition." Su Weixi thought it was no big deal and explained casually.

Although they are no longer in the past time and space, Su's father and mother still have not forgotten the custom of worshipping their grandparents.

"Oh, this is glutinous rice cake, girl Su, your family has the habit of making glutinous rice cake on the first day of the New Year." At this time, Uncle Chen walked out of the room to the living room, breaking the moment of silence.

"Yes, Uncle Chen. Do you like sweet food or something without anything in it?" Su Weixi squatted down and started to get the glutinous rice cake out of the stone mortar. He had to get the glutinous rice cake out while it was still hot. If it got hard, it would become a lump and he couldn't get it out.

"I want something sweet." Uncle Chen said excitedly.

Soon, Su Weixi grabbed some glutinous rice cakes and distributed them to everyone.

Dip the glutinous rice cake into the syrup that Su Weixi had prepared when steaming the glutinous rice. The syrup also contains crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. The glutinous rice cake not only has the unique sweetness of glutinous rice, but also has the aroma of nuts.

After everyone finished eating the glutinous rice cakes in their hands, Su Weixi also made all the glutinous rice cakes in the stone mortar into round shapes. After they cooled down, they could fry them in a pan or bake them on a low stove whenever they wanted to eat them.

Although glutinous rice cake is delicious, it is a glutinous food after all and should not be eaten too much. Su Weixi went to make some dumplings for everyone, but not many, just to fill their stomachs as they would have lunch later.

Before lunch, Su's father took Su's mother and Su Weixi to pay homage to the cenotaph built for the original owner's family of three. Shen Jingzhou and the others did not doubt it and just thought that the three of them were going to pay homage to the old hunter who gave the house to their family.

On the first day of the New Year, there is nothing to do except cooking.

With outsiders at home, Su Weixi couldn't watch movies on the tablet. Su Weixi looked at her father playing Go with Shen Jingzhou and found it too boring.

Su Weixi returned to the room and took out a set of mahjong from the space. This was a set of jade mahjong given by Su's father's partner in his previous life.

It stands to reason that hunters like the Su family, who live in the mountains, cannot afford such valuable things, but Su Weixi has made up his mind to give them all to the "deceased old hunter's family" when the time comes.

When Su Weixi took out mahjong, Su Ma's eyes lit up and she volunteered to teach Chen Bo and Shitou.

Fortunately, both of them were very smart and understood the rules after a short while. Su Ma immediately decided to start practicing.

It is euphemistically called: "You will learn it if you pay the tuition fee."

In her previous life, Su Ma was nicknamed the Little Mahjong Saint among her friends, so it was obvious that Shi Tou was the one who lost the most.

Although he is not stupid, he has the simplest mind among them, and it shows on his face when he gets good cards.

This rare entertainment activity made several people addicted to it, and they played for the whole day without realizing it. If it wasn’t almost evening and Su Weixi and Su Ma needed to cook dinner, Uncle Chen wouldn’t even want to end it.

It was Chinese New Year, and Su Weixi was already very tired from preparing sixteen dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner on the first day, so he asked his father to kill two big geese. How could he do without stewing big geese in an iron pot in such a cold winter?

Because it was a freshly slaughtered goose, it was not blanched. Su's father chopped the goose into larger pieces. If it was chopped smaller, it would be boring to eat. The goose liver, goose heart, and goose gizzards were placed aside for later use.

Put soybean oil and lard in the pot and mix them together. After the oil is heated and the raw soybean oil smell is removed, stir-fry the goose. Fry until the skin of the goose is a little burnt and about 30% of the water is removed.

Add onion and ginger and stir-fry until the onion aroma comes out. Then add cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise and angelica and continue stir-frying to bring out the flavor of the spices.

After the spices are fried until fragrant, add some white wine, add soy sauce for seasoning, and some dark soy sauce for color. Add boiling water and the soup will be ready in one go.

Throw a few dried chilies into the pot, add a little white pepper powder, and a little thirteen spices, then simmer with the lid open for about ten minutes to let the fishy smell evaporate.

Put salt in the pot, then turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour. Put the goose liver, goose gizzards, and goose heart in half an hour before serving, and then put a circle of cornmeal cakes on the edge of the pot.

After adding all the ingredients, cover the pot and simmer on low heat for another half an hour.

During the process, Su Weixi also put potatoes and vermicelli into the pot. After stewing the meat until it was mushy, he picked out all the spices, except for the peppers, and started to reduce the juice until it became sticky and then served.

As expected, the iron pot stewed goose once again received unanimous praise from everyone. Uncle Chen's goose was paired with wine, and the more he drank, the more he enjoyed it. Even Shen Jingzhou, who usually eats politely, picked up his chopsticks much faster than usual.

"Girl, with your cooking skills, I'm afraid that when I go out, I won't be able to get used to the food cooked by other chefs." Uncle Chen said while burping after eating and drinking his fill.

Su Weixi chuckled and didn't answer.

"I wonder what's added to this yellow cake? It doesn't taste like the white flour we usually eat." Shen Jingzhou looked at Su Weixi and asked.

"Yeah, and what is this? It seems like I've never eaten it before?" Shi Tou picked up a piece of potato and asked the same question.

I wanted to ask the same question when I ate it for the first time, but the young master didn't let me. Today, when I saw the young master asking the question, Shi Tou took the opportunity to raise the doubts in my mind.

Only then did Su Weixi remember that there were no crops such as corn and potatoes in this time and space.

"My father found this in the mountains. We were so hungry that we had no food to eat. We brought it back and cooked it. We found that it tasted good, so we transplanted some." Su Weixi answered vaguely.

After saying that, Su Weixi quickly finished the food in the bowl and made an excuse to go back to his room. Dad and Mom Su cleaned the table.

Su Weixi, who flashed back to the room and took out a romance novel to read, didn't know that Shen Jingzhou, while going out for some fresh air, was staring at the corn hanging under the eaves and fell into deep thought.
