Chapter 538 Dundun: I’ve tried my best! Catch the big fair, buy firecrackers, and post Spring Festival couplets. The New Year is here! [Please subscribe]
"Er smash, help me get some high-end snacks!"
The lottery board flashed in his mind, and Lin Xu silently muttered in his heart, it's up to Dundun whether he can make this lottery an upset.
At first I thought the little guy could only bring wealth, but later I discovered that it could also change luck. Later, the little guy even liked to pluck the wool from the system.
Now, it’s time to show its strengths.
Dundun glanced at Lin Xu. He had eaten and drank enough and was anxious to go play by the pool outside.
There are about a dozen silver carp and carp in it that will be eaten for New Year's Eve tomorrow night. The little guy is going to catch one. After hearing Lin Xu's request, he is ready to collect the wool from the system.
Soon, the lottery will begin.
Lin Xu waited for the lottery board to completely spin and then said silently in his heart:
"Stop!"
The lottery board slowly stopped, and soon the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for winning the outstanding Fujian snack-Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
Lin Xu: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh my god, did you hear that right?
I actually got the famous dish in Chinese food and Buddha jumped over the wall?
But is this thing considered a snack?
Shouldn’t it be a high-end meal?
He rubbed Dundun's head vigorously, "My dear son, you are so awesome, you actually hit the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall...
Just as I was happy, the system prompt sounded in my mind again:
"Due to a system error, the excellent Fujian snack [Buddha Jumps over the Wall] has been upgraded to the perfect Jinling snack - Jinling Salted Duck. Congratulations to the host."
Congratulations...congratulations to your grandma!
Lin Xu couldn't help but roar in his heart.
I smoked the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall based on my ability, why should I replace it?
He protested for a while, but the system showed no response at all, which made Lin Xu helpless.
The only thing that can give him some comfort may be that the original excellent lottery was upgraded to a perfect salted duck by the system.
But no amount of compensation can make up for the flying Buddha jumping over the wall.
This reminded Lin Xu of the time when he drew an artifact in an online game, but it was ruthlessly taken back by the official, and then randomly sent away with a few cards as compensation.
System, system, can't you be more open-minded?
It's just a Buddha jumping over the wall, so why not give it to me?
"Meow~~"
Dundun's cry interrupted Lin Xu's thoughts.
He came back to his senses and rubbed the little guy's head again. A perfect salted duck would be fine. After all, it is also a famous delicacy at home and abroad.
Dundun jumped down, rubbed her head against Lin Xu's trouser legs, and then strolled towards the pool.
"What's wrong, Xu Bao?"
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just teasing Dundun a bit, let's continue eating."
Lin Xu sat down again, broke open the steamed bun, put two pieces of pork belly inside, and put a few pieces of small crispy meat steamed until soft. He held it in his hand and read the experience of making salted duck while eating it.<
/p>
Salted duck is an unavoidable delicacy among many delicacies in Jinling. There has always been a joke on the Internet that "not a duck can swim out of Jinling".
Jinling people really love ducks to the core. It is said that the city consumes hundreds of millions of salted ducks every year, which shows the status of this delicacy in the hearts of Jinling people.
The large consumption of ducks has also given rise to a series of derivative delicacies.
For example, the duck blood vermicelli soup, which is very popular abroad, and the marinated duck scraps, etc., all make the city of Jinling "full of duck flavor".
Making salted duck is not difficult.
Slaughter the duck cleanly, remove the wings and claws, and turn the duck into a white-striped duck.
Then make an incision under the armpit, take out the internal organs, clean them, and then apply the fried and cooled Sichuan peppercorn salt to the duck's body and abdominal cavity.
Marinate for a few hours and then hang to dry.
Finally, it is boiled in special salt brine for about half an hour.
After taking it out of the pot, the delicious salted duck is finished.
The marinated duck has tender skin, white meat, fat but not greasy, and is fragrant, crispy, and tender. In addition, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is the best eating season, so the salted duck is also known as the sweet-scented osmanthus duck.
Now that you have obtained this delicacy, you can make it and sell it in the store when you return to the capital. This will not only add another dish to go with wine, but also attract the struggling Jinling people in the capital.
After all, every Jinling person has a delicious duck deep in their memory.
Either Jinling roast duck or Jinling salted duck, this is their nostalgia and the most unforgettable delicacy when they are away from home.
After finishing the steamed buns in his hand, Lin Xu filled another half bowl of rice and ate it with the salt-fried mutton on the table.
One thing to say, this mutton dish is really good with rice. The meat is tender and juicy, and the exterior is caramelized and slightly yellow. The spiciness of green peppers and red peppers combined with the aroma of green onions adds to the deliciousness of the salt-fried mutton.<
/p>
Although there are many dishes today, this mutton dish will definitely be unforgettable for every guest.
Not only have I never eaten it before, but the most important thing is that the taste and texture of salt-fried mutton are in line with people’s imagination of meat delicacies.
Eat a big mouthful of meat, your mouth will be full of oil, spicy and delicious, and slightly sweet.
Salt-fried mutton can meet all these requirements.
"Xubao, after dinner later I want to go to the nearby village fair. Shaokang said there are many people selling fireworks and firecrackers. I haven't been to the rural fair yet. Can you go with me?"
"Okay."
To be honest, Lin Xu didn't go there much. In my memory, it was only when he was in elementary school that he would go around every time he went to his hometown for the Chinese New Year.
At that time, during the annual fair, the village would invite opera troupes to sing operas.
But every time there is an opera, there are people selling candied haws, sugar figures, and various other snacks nearby.
For children, these are much more attractive than the unintelligible operas on the stage. After eating, you can eat sweet and salty, and take turns to taste various snacks.
I went to the theater with my grandparents.
The old couple listened to it all morning and went home satisfied with their New Year shopping. Lin Xu also had a full stomach.
Now, my grandfather has passed away, and there is no opera troupe in the village. We will never be able to return to the age when we could eat the candied haws, and my grandparents would help me lie in front of my parents.
As soon as she heard that Lin Xu was willing to go, Shen Jiayue immediately started planning happily:
"Which car is better to drive?"
Which car?
Lin Xu glanced at the several luxury cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard and felt that whether he was driving a Maisa Rui or a Range Rover, there was no atmosphere like going to a rural market.
He glanced at the electric tricycle driven by his cousin Zhang Chunsheng and said with a smile:
"Let's just drive an electric tricycle. Uncle Chunsheng's tricycle just happens to fit in the back. I'll take you with me to experience retirement life in advance."
"Okay, okay, I haven't ridden in it yet. You can't scare me by racing later."
When Chen Meijuan heard what her son and daughter-in-law said, she couldn't help but remind her:
"If you want to ride a tricycle, you must wear thicker clothes. Yueyue remembers to wear a scarf and a hat, and Xiaoxu remembers to wear gloves so as not to get cold during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay Mom, let's wear thicker clothes."
Hoho, it’s time to go to the market!
Shaokang's cousin said that there were many firecrackers selling at the rally, so you had to choose carefully when you arrived.
The capital has not allowed firecrackers to be set off for many years, and now we finally have the opportunity to set off firecrackers, so we have to have a good time.
Shen Jiayue thought happily, and even planned to shoot a VLOG.
Since I’m going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, I have to look presentable. It’s a pity that we don’t have big flower coats, otherwise it would be more down-to-earth.
After the meal, she said goodbye to all her relatives, and drove to the place where she lived with Lin Xu. She picked up hats, scarves, gloves and other cold-proof items. Then she returned to the farmyard and asked for the car keys of her uncle who gave birth in the Spring Festival, and then she was ready to go.<
/p>
"Haha, it feels so novel. I'm sitting in Xubao, you can drive..."
Lin Xu fixed the action camera on the handlebar, then put on his gloves, buttoned up the hood of his down jacket, inserted the car key, gently turned the switch and drove forward.
Leave the gate of the scenic spot, go through the ticket office of the scenic spot, drive forward about one kilometer, and there will be a small fork in the road. Turn in, and walk two kilometers further, and you will see the rally.
In the past, rural markets were important markets for purchasing supplies in rural areas, covering basically all aspects of food, clothing, housing, transportation, agricultural production, and livestock sales.
But now, with the advent of rural supermarkets and the popularity of online shopping, rural shopping malls have withered away a lot.
It only takes shape during the Chinese New Year, when a group of small vendors maintain this rural folk custom.
The village's gathering is on the main road, with various stalls on both sides, blocking the road.
Lin Xu parked the car on the side of the village, first locked the handlebar with the car key, took out the key, then opened the seat, took out the U-shaped lock from the tool box, and locked the wheels.
While he was doing this, Shen Jiayue had already fixed the miniature action camera on the zipper of his down jacket.
After locking the car, the two of them walked towards the market.
There are more people here at the end of the village. Some sell couplets, throw rings, play balloons and electronic shooting games, etc. There are many projects.
Shen Jiayue happily went to the ring stall, bought ten rings, and finally got a furry red panda.
The onlookers felt sorry for themselves, but this girl was very happy:
"I haven't prepared a New Year gift for Dundun yet, so I'll give it to him this red panda. It's so fluffy. He will definitely like it very much."
What a mother she is, she never forgets her children even when playing tricks.
Lin Xu sighed in his heart.
If I had known you were playing traps, I would have brought Dundun here. With it here, you can’t win anything you set.
But thinking about my sister-in-law's behavior of catching dolls all afternoon when she was lucky, I also thought that it would be better not to use Dundun. I don't know what the harm is in using luck.
Use it as little as possible when having fun.
"Do you want to play anymore? Why don't you try throwing a Transformers at Ten Rings?"
The stall owner enthusiastically promoted the sales, but was rejected by Shen Jiayue:
"I've got what I want, let's play again next time."
After saying that, she strolled to the stall selling Spring Festival couplets:
"Xubao, do we need to buy these?"
"No, I've bought everything. Tomorrow morning we have to drive back to the city to post Spring Festival couplets with our hometown. This sense of ritual is indispensable."
"Okay, okay, I'm the best at pasting Spring Festival couplets. My mother said that my head was prepared for pasting Spring Festival couplets."
My mother is quite unique when it comes to praising people.
Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue continued to walk through the crowd.
Soon, the two of them each had a piece of peeled sugar cane, and while eating, they looked at the stalls on both sides.
"Wow, this sugar cane is so sweet. Fortunately, the stall owner didn't ask the stall owner to squeeze it into juice. I think sugar cane has to be chewed like this to be interesting."
Lin Xu spit out the bagasse in his mouth into the plastic bag he was carrying and said with a smile:
"Going to the market actually doesn't go well with sugar cane. You should eat candied haws on a stick. I'll buy one for you when someone sells candied haws on a stick. Do you prefer the yam and egg type or the hawthorn type?"
"We all like it. I'll eat whatever you buy."
In this situation, it doesn't matter what you eat. What matters is that you and Xu Bao wander around in this strange market. This feeling is really happy.
If you are old and retired, it would be quite pleasant to drive an electric tricycle to the market.
I just don’t know that rural gatherings will disappear completely by then, and there will be no place to go shopping if you want.
Shen Jiayue was walking and watching when she suddenly saw a stall selling fried food next to her. The fried food was a round pancake, golden in color and rich in fragrance.
"What is this, Xubao? It looks delicious."
Lin Xu said:
"This is fried jujube cake, which is made by boiling red dates, grinding them into bread with big yellow rice, and frying them in a pan. It will be crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. When I was a child..."
"Come on two!"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Jiayue quickly took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay.
Hum hum, since it is what Xu Bao likes to eat, there is no need to say, you must try it.
Lin Xu smiled helplessly:
"Aren't you afraid that I hated eating it when I was a kid?"
"Then I want to try it too, to see if it offends you."
Soon, the stall owner packed two fried date cakes separately in paper bags.
Shen Jiayue took a bite and was immediately attracted by this delicious food that was crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside:
"Wow, it's delicious, crispy and delicious."
Lin Xu took a bite and found that it was slightly different from what he remembered. When he was a child, he ate jujube pits, so he had to eat them in small bites, otherwise he would bite the jujube pits.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Inside, the jujube core has been filtered out, leaving only the soft and fragrant yellow rice noodles and the sweet jujube puree.
Delicious!
Shen Jiayue thought it was super delicious and asked curiously:
"Xubao, can you do this?"
"Yes."
"How about you make a few more when you go back?"
"Okay!"
It’s hard to say anything else, but this fried jujube cake is still okay.
The two of them continued shopping and finished the fried jujube cake. Shen Jiayue finally saw the long-awaited candied haws, and she bought two skewers without saying a word.
"If I had known there were so many delicious foods, I would have eaten less rice."
Shen took a bite of the crunchy candied haws. He had no idea that there were so many delicious ones at the rural market.
Lin Xu said:
"There are many in front of you, such as fried dumplings, fried vegetable boxes, hot rice dumplings, roasted sweet potatoes, stinky tofu, cold skin, rice skin, dumplings, etc., they are all available."
The most indispensable thing in a rural market is all kinds of food.
Moreover, the craftsmanship of those who go out to the market is pretty good, so many people say they are going to the market, but in fact they are just shopping and eating.
Shopping around the entire collection will leave you stuffed.
The two of them walked around a lot and saw a lot of food.
Unfortunately, Shen Jiayue couldn't eat any more, so she bought several hundred yuan worth of small fireworks such as the Cracker Crackers, Cracker Crackers, Sky Monkey, Two Rings of Heaven and Earth, etc. She also bought a bag of fried jujube cakes and twenty or so skewers of candied haws, and then Driving a tricycle back.
"Xubao, will there be a meeting tomorrow?"
"No, no one will come out of the stall tomorrow on New Year's Eve."
"What a pity. I haven't had enough shopping yet. It's all your fault. You made the mutton so delicious and made me so full. Now I can't eat anything. I'm so angry..."
Lin Xu:??????
Can this be blamed on me?
It’s obviously you who is greedy, okay?
But you can’t reason with women, he asked with a smile:
"Then what should I do so that you can forgive me?"
"Come with me at the reservoir and set off all these firecrackers at night, and I will forgive you."
"As you command!"
Back at the scenic spot, most of the guests had already eaten and left, leaving only some immediate family members helping to clean up the leftovers.
Lin Xu originally wanted to throw away these leftovers, but cousin Chunsheng likes to eat this kind of banquet dish, and is currently packing the dishes with the help of Chen Meijuan and Lin Hongxia.
Lin Xu handed him the car keys and said with a smile:
"Cousin, why do you like to eat this kind of food?"
"It's delicious. This kind of side dish is mixed and heated, and the taste is really amazing. I think it's more enjoyable than eating at the main table."
He took the car keys and put them in his pocket, looked at what they bought, and said:
"These firecrackers are dangerous, so don't play with them. Two days ago, a child in our village suffered a blow to his face while playing with the Flying Monkey. There was a gaping hole in his face and his eyeball was almost injured. The child's parents have been wiping tears these past two days."
Fireworks and firecrackers are indeed dangerous, and it is best for children to play under the supervision of adults.
Lin Xu helped put the leftovers into large food bags, and then went to the kitchen to pack two roast chickens for cousin Chunsheng.
Soon, Zhang Chunsheng drove his electric three-wheeler and left the scenic spot with a cart full of leftovers, preparing to send them to his home and freeze them in a freezer, so that they can be eaten as they are hot, which is very convenient.
"Come and eat fried date cake!"
Shen Jiayue distributed the candied haws and fried jujube cakes to everyone, then looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Xubao, what should we have for lunch?"
"Haggis soup, uncle asked for it, don't forget it."
After everything was done, Lin Xu came to the restaurant. When he didn't see Shen Guofu and his father, he asked curiously:
"Where is my dad and the others?"
Chen Meijuan muttered:
"They drank too much and went to bed. Your father-in-law not only refused to help, but also started to make noises. Then they both fell drunk. Just now your mother-in-law complained."
People who like to drink should not think about being sober during the New Year. They are either drinking or on the way to drink every day.
Lin Xu has never had the pleasure of drinking. Although he can drink some, he has never been an alcoholic.
"Xiao Xu, go to your hometown tomorrow to post Spring Festival couplets. Remember to say hello to your neighbors. Two days ago, everyone asked you how you are doing in Beijing."
After Chen Meijuan finished muttering about her drunken behavior, she began to explain how to post Spring Festival couplets at her home in the city tomorrow.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Aren't you going back with dad tomorrow?"
"We went to your grandma's house to post Spring Festival couplets. Your grandma and your uncle are also celebrating the New Year in the scenic spot this year and will not go back."
Chen Meiliang now has a special status. When she goes back to celebrate the New Year, there will definitely be a wine shop that she cannot avoid, as well as people who are inquiring about the racecourse. So she simply spends the New Year in a scenic spot and hides away.
If he doesn't go back, and Old Mrs. Chen doesn't go back, Chen Meide will naturally be too lazy to go back.
Anyway, there are restaurants, drinks and chefs in the scenic area. When you get bored, you can go to the reservoir to activate your hunting genes without having to participate in one boring wine shop after another. How cool.
So none of the big family will go back.
Lin Xu said:
"It's okay if you don't go back. Everyone has been busy for a year and it's time to take a break. By the way, do you have to visit grandpa's grave tomorrow?"
"Yes, your grandpa and your grandpa have to pay a visit to their graves. You got married and married such a perfect wife as Yueyue. It's time for your grandpa and grandpa to meet her."
"Well, let's go to the grave together tomorrow."
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen and blanched the mutton bones and mutton prepared by Shi Wenming separately, then put them into the pot and started to cook the mutton soup.
The so-called haggis soup does not use haggis to make soup, but cooks haggis in cooked mutton soup, so that it tastes better.
After the mutton soup was cooked, Lin Xu began to pack the mutton offal.
Prepare to make the delicious food that my uncle desires...
