Chapter 83 The Change of Begging

Chapter 83 The Change of Begging for Qiao

Qiqiao Festival, also known as Girls' Day or Daughter's Day. Naturally, the participants are mainly girls, so the Qiqiao Festival is always very lively every year.

The most memorable name should be regarded as the Qixi Festival. Speaking of the Qixi Festival, it is naturally inseparable from the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl Magpie Bridge, this sad and beautiful love story.

On the day of Qiqiao Festival, the girls in new clothes gathered in groups in the courtyard, set up incense cases, displayed all kinds of melons and fruits and cosmetics, worshipped the seventh sister together, and sang while worshipping: "Emperor, earth emperor, I invite the seventh sister to heaven. Don't look for your needles, don't look for your lines, optically your seventy-two good means.

Begging for Qiaojie, fighting is a clever word, threading needles and threads, which is more flexible than a finger.

Each of the girls took a needle and seven threads from the old lady's hand, and threaded the needle through the shimmer of the incense head. Whoever wears a thread is a coincidence, and the fastest wearer is the most coincidental.

In addition, it is natural to use a bowl of water to bask in the sun for a noon, and then put the buds of needles or grains into the bowl to let it float on the surface of the water and look at the needle shadows at the bottom of the water into various patterns. For example, the thick and fineness of the needles are clumsy.

Make smart fruits and smart lights. Qiaoguo and Qiaolan have a variety of shapes. Qiaolan's shapes include **, lotus, rose, peony, peony, jade hairpin, orchid, begonia, Buddha hand, civil official fruit, magnolia, plum blossom and other flower lamps, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Immortals' Birthday Celebration, Children's Worship Guanyin, Fulushou and other character lamps.

Legend has it that there will be an activity to invite seven sisters a few days before the Qiqiao Festival. The girls go to the field to "steal" some green stalks during the day. They don't look back or say anything all the way. After returning home, they set up a Buddhist niche, or set up a small shed on the platform for the picture of the weaver girl. After nightfall, the girls walked around the well platform with stalks in their hands, asked the seventh sister to return to the Buddhist niche, and then sat in front of the statue of the Weaver Girl and slapped the Weaver Girl. While patting, he sang: "One slap a month, my sister taught me how to take the soles of the shoes. On February 2nd, my sister taught me how to embroider skirts..." Singing until December.

Generally, the diet of Qiqiao Festival is noodles, dumplings, steamed buns and nuts, etc., which will test the skillfulness of each woman and whether they can make the food exquisite and delicious.

"My father-in-law, look, look, this rabbit is really beautiful, pink and tender." Yan Jin took Yan Zi all the way and saw a lot of fruit.

In the traditional sense, the fruit is sedious and small in shape; the thickness is uniform; the color is golden yellow; it is oily; there is no corn flour; it is crunchy in the mouth, with sesame flavor.

There are generally two ways to make fruit, one is frying and the other is baking.

Frying is the most common method. Add an appropriate amount of water to white sugar, molten, tofu, and refined salt and stir it well, then add wheat flour and sesame seeds to continue to stir into water and mix the dough. Let it sit for a while to make the dough in a relaxed state. Then divide the dough into several pieces and let it sit for a while.

Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough first. Then thin it and fold it horizontally and neatly; cut a knife in a straight line from left to right in the middle, and then cut it into sections, each of which is as wide as the little fingernail. Hit the knife eye at each folded connection, sift off the powder and fry it.

Frying: Heat the oil temperature in the oil pan, and first sieve the raw blanks the powder to prevent the powder from being polluted by high oil temperature and coking, which will affect the color of the product. Then pour the raw billet into the hedge and slowly put it into the oil pan. When the oil surface is floating on, quickly use the hedge to stir the raw billet and keep turning over. When it is golden yellow, immediately take out the oil pan. Quickly drain the excess oil, spread it out to cool, and seal it in the box while it is slightly hot.

Compared with the process of frying, baking is much simpler.

Dissolve the yeast in warm water, pour the yeast water into the flour mixed with milk powder and white sugar many times, and knead it into a uniform dough. Cover the kneaded dough with a thin layer of gauze to wake up for an hour. Take out the woken up dough and knead it evenly with your hands. The longer the dough is kneaded, the more delicious the finished product will be and the whiter the color will be. Cut off a piece of kneaded dough, rub it into long strips, pull it into small pieces according to the size of the model, put the small pieces of dough into the clip, press it with your fingers, and cut off the excess noodles with scissors. Finally, it is hard to make a row of small cakes. Cover with a dry cloth to wake up for a quarter of an hour, then put it in the oven and slowly bake it with fire. . It can be eaten after cooling.

However, the girls in this town seem to disdain the traditional shape of Qiaoguo, pinching Qiaoguo into different animal shapes, including rabbits, piglets, ducks, chickens and so on.

It's dazzling, dizzying, drooling, and want to eat all the fruits.

"Shird, this one looks delicious." Yan Xin pointed to a shop, and each piglet was white and fat, floating with fragrance. Mixed with a faint smell of meat.

"What this lady said is that the fruit of our family is to respond to the scene. Today, she shouts Qiaoguo, and usually calls Xiaobao." The lady of the shop enthusiastically introduced to Yan Chan.

Yan Qian looked curious and pulled Yan Zi forward: "What do you say, what does the aunt say?"

"My wife is from other places, right? I'm sure I haven't heard of our small baby. The noodles are glutinous and fragrant, and the meat is puree and fine without greasy teeth. The shop lady still introduced enthusiastically.

Yan Qi felt novel. He asked for four fingers, two for himself, and two for Yan Zi. While eating and walking, Yan Chen couldn't help nodding: "Sure enough, it's the same as what the woman introduced, and her lips and teeth are still fragrant."

Yan Zi smiled and said to the greedy Yan, "Well, but you'd better eat less to avoid indigestible food at night."

Yan Chan nodded obediently. Along the way, Yan Cheng saw many different crafts of embroidery and cloth, touching east and west, and was very happy.

Since the imperial concubine took Yan to the temple, there was a strange phenomenon on the court. For example, Mr. Yan, who had not been an official for many years, began to enter and leave the court.

Although there is no big action, and there is no chapter handed out, he just goes to court every day and stands in his original position. This made the bureaucrats in the official career speculate on the intention of Mr. Yan.

When Yan Zhen learned about Mr. Yan a week later, he was squatting in front of the wonton shop in the small town to share wontons for the baby and Niunie.

Yes, Yan Zhen found a delicacy here, three kinds of wontons mixed with meat fillings, which are beef, pork and mutton. Originally, there are three kinds of meat with different tastes. It should be strange to mix them together, but the wontons in this store are authentic and delicious.

Yan Chan has asked several times why the three kinds of meat fillings are so natural that they don't have the taste they should have.

The boss always shakes his head and says with a smile that this is an ancestral secret recipe and should not be exposed.

Yan Chan even followed him to the kitchen to see how to make it. He found that this method was no different from ordinary wontons, and he couldn't help but wonder more.

So at this time, Yan Zi got up as a dancer and had his excellent advantage. At this time, early in the morning, the dawn asked Yan Ziqi to take her to fly to the wonton shop, just to grab a few bowls of limited three-meat wontons for several days.

However, Yan Yi didn't have a big reaction to go in and out of the court. Yan Ziqi had to consider the mystery of this. It seems that there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the court.

These seem to have nothing to do with Yan Qian. In addition to finding a lot of delicious food in the small town recently, Yan Qian has also been fascinated by one thing, that is, flirting with Yan Ziqi, her father-in-law who has not yet passed.

It's like Yan Chen always can't see Yan Ziqi in a day, and she will miss her. In her spare time, she goes back to the little man and said, "Ask your aunt, I give you 10,000 taels of white money. Can you let me meet and touch your little hand?"

After a while, the little man came back and said, "The prince said that it's not worth meeting and touching your hand for ten thousand taels of white silver."

Yan Yi Xing raised his eyes and said, "What about replacing it with 10,000 taels of golden gold?"

After waiting for a while, the little man came back: "The prince said that you can consider meeting."

When Yan Chan saw a play, he said, "Go, ask your aunt again, how much talent do I have, touch my hands, touch my face, kiss my mouth and so on, and make a full set.

The little man didn't turn around and went out and said directly, "The prince said that if the young lady asks to make a full set, it will cost at least a thousand taels of gold."

Yan Chan said, "Shameless! There is so much silver in the pavilion, do you still want me?!"

The little boy looked straight ahead and said, "The prince said that no matter how much money there is, it is not as much as the silver behind the young lady."

Yan was angry and jumped up and said, "Why don't you ask your uncle and answer directly? Do I have to say anything? Does your uncle know?"

The little man had to be patient and continued to answer, "The young man said that the young lady's mind was simple and very easy to guess. She told the little one everything she could think of."

Yan Cen raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, go and ask your uncle, I will spend some gold ingots. Will he marry me as my husband?"

The little man bowed his head. Shit, he didn't have this one. He hurried over and asked his uncle.

After a while, Yan Chan heard the footsteps of people and said without raising his head, "Why is it so long?! What did your uncle say?

When someone heard Yan Zhen's voice, he pulled out a beautiful smile from the corners of his mouth and said, "The prince said that he used the whole pavilion as a bride price and asked if you would be Mrs. Su Pavilion.

Hearing this, Yan Chan was excited: "Wow, deal!" But I felt that the little boy's voice was wrong. He suddenly looked up and saw that the young man, the young man was not dancing, Yan Ziqi, who was it?

Yan was happy and rushed over: "Beautiful man, I finally saw you."

Yan Ziqi was full of Yan Chen. He took the opportunity to hold Yan Chen and said, "Chen, you promised to marry me. You can't go back on your word."

Yan Chan's chicken nodded fiercely, and now he can finally get married. I have married several times, but I haven't been married. I have become an old girl.

It seems that there will be such a play every day, but it doesn't work every day. Where is this play today? No one knows, but the ending is that the two are willing people. When all of them live with each other, although they have been married since they were young.
