Chapter 790 Rabbit in rubber boots, sacrificial stove pheasant (4/4)
ps: Here comes the fourth update. I worked so hard to write this chapter. I searched for some information and asked my family members. In the end, I still don’t know how to start. Looking at the famous kilns and working hard in the middle of the night,
Let’s vote for recommendation... Sacrifice to the Stove Lord usually starts after noon, in the evening or at night. Li Feng is busy preparing meals in the morning, and has to invite people, including several elders in the village, at noon. Li Feng is cleaning up the meals at home, and there are still a few tables at noon.
Well. The matter of offering sacrifices to the stove is a big deal as new people are added.
Adding more people and more jobs. This is a major event reported to heaven. Zhang Lan, Shi Xiulan, and several children were busy picking vegetables. Li Feng's father had already picked the vegetables yesterday, and they are ready to be washed. The vegetables are ready, one
Put them in a dustpan. Li Feng is a good knifeman. After cutting the vegetables, Li Feng started to prepare the meat dishes. The beef and bacon were really cooking in the stove. The pheasant was stewed. This pheasant is really amazing. Didn’t you know what happened yesterday?
I got into the hole of the pot. The whole chicken feathers were half burned. I was cooking in the morning, but the pheasant hadn't come out yet. The fire was strong, and the pheasant started roasting. The pheasant only ran out after its butt was burned. But
The wings were burned, and in the end the chicken was completely bald and had a jet black tail. Li Shan looked at the chicken legs that were burnt. It seemed like the chicken was going to die.
Killed him directly. Li Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. There was also a pheasant delivered to his door, and he was roasted directly. When Bao Bao and Mengmeng were talking, it still had a scent, it was so fragrant.
Li Feng was amused by the exaggerated looks of several children for a while.
This was a bit like a pheasant flying into the rice pot. Li Feng used a pot to stew the large pheasant, fresh mushrooms, and vermicelli.
"It smells so good." Lin Ying walked into the kitchen with a smile. Nothing happened today. The waterfowl were fed. I heard that Li Feng's family was making a sacrificial stove, so she came to watch the fun.
"Haha. Of course the pheasant is fragrant. Speaking of which, this pheasant is really great." Li Feng said with a look of reverence. If Lin Ying didn't know better, she would have thought that this man was talking about pheasants. Maybe she also thought that Li Feng was
Facing the great revolutionary ancestors.
"Haha, you are such a person. Now everyone has become a meal, why don't you say a nice word?" Lin Ying rolled her eyes at Li Feng angrily. As soon as Lin Ying came back, the baby pulled Lin Ying and told her about the pheasant.
The little girl said this so many times in the morning. But the pheasant was the first one the baby found and ran to call for help.
Li Feng knew that his daughter loved to join in the fun, so of course he would tell people about such a thing when he saw her. "Haha. I just want to give it a good life, do meritorious deeds, and find a good family in the next life."
"By the way, nothing happened today. Nothing happened to the waterfowl." It snowed heavily for one day and two nights, and the entire mountain was covered with snow. There was no food to eat. Today is the best time to catch birds. What time is it?
Bring rice and a few nets. Go to the mountain and sweep up a random spot and catch a lot of birds.
"It's okay. I fed you food this morning. I really want to thank you. I'll carry more on my back later. Two hundred pounds won't last for two days." Lin Ying had a trace of worry on her face. It was snowing heavily and there was no ice.
Melting, the fate of these water birds is worried. Lin Ying read the weather forecast yesterday and knew that there may be heavy snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This made Lin Ying feel a little more sad, but the corn reserves at Li Feng's house made Lin Ying feel better.
"Okay, I'll make a meal for you later." Li Feng and Lin Ying talked for a while. There were two tables at noon, one table for his family and one table for the old people in the village. The guests left one after another early this morning.
But they may not be able to leave. There will be snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so these people have to go back. People have to go home to celebrate the New Year, and the residents of Li Feng have finished leaving. The village has become quiet, but the New Year atmosphere is full.
The past two days were busy. The whole family was busy washing vegetables and cleaning the house. There was no time to prepare. Today, people are leaving, and it is the New Year. Everyone is doing things at home to clean up the stove. At noon, the old people in the village came, Li Feng
He didn't even eat much at lunch, and this man was taking care of a group of elderly people.
Li Feng had to drink the wine today. He held the wine and toasted one by one. Finally, Li Feng had to use white mist again. In the end, he drank two kilograms of white wine and was stunned to hold on. This made Li Feng's parents and Manying
Both parents were surprised. Everyone in the village boasted about Li Feng's good drinking ability. Only Li Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. He had less and less white mist these days, and he didn't know how to replenish it in the future.
"Xiaobao, why don't you take a rest for a while?" Shi Xiulan looked at Li Feng, who was blushing, and was a little worried. "It's okay, Auntie, I'll clean it up. I have to prepare for the stove sacrifice in the afternoon." Li Feng rushed to clean it up.
I picked up the bowls and chopsticks. Although my face was flushed, most of the alcohol in my body had been melted away by the white mist.
After clearing away the dishes and chopsticks at noon, Li Feng took out some sugar melon seeds and put them on a five-flowered plate. He put two plates of various candies and peanuts, ten kinds of them. There is also a legend about these sugar melon seeds, which has been passed down for a long time.
Once upon a time, there was a son of a wealthy family named Zhang Mingchan. After getting married, he lived a very happy life. Unexpectedly, within a few years, Zhang Chan had evil thoughts in his heart. He liked the new and disliked the old, so he forced his wife to divorce him. His wife was helpless.
He had no choice but to live in another place and live a hard life. From then on, Zhang Chan did not do his job and lived a life of luxury and debauchery. Unexpectedly, one winter, Zhang's family was suddenly hit by a fire, which burned the huge family property and Zhang Chan's eyes were also burned.
He was blind. Faced with such a miserable situation, Zhang Chan had no choice but to beg for food. One day, he came to the door of a house to beg for food.
The hostess took pity on him, so she invited him to her home and cooked delicious food for him. During the conversation, Zhang Chan found out that the hostess was his divorced ex-wife, so he was so ashamed that he threw himself into the stove fire alive.
Burned to death. Later, the Jade Emperor learned of this and felt that he was a prodigal son who could still be used. He named him the Kitchen King, the Kitchen God, and asked him to oversee the good and evil in the world. On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month every year,
On that day, I went back to heaven to report the real situation on earth.
Little did they know that this Zhang Chan, after he became the Stove Lord, was still lazy and neglected his duties. People could not trust him and were afraid that he would talk nonsense after he ascended to heaven, so they put sugar melons on the day he ascended to heaven to commemorate him. During the sacrifice,
First, the couplet "God speaks good things, and the lower world ensures peace" is pasted on both sides of the statue of Kitchen Lord to remind him to say good things to the people and do practical things. As for the sugar melon as an offering, it is based on its sweet and sticky characteristics.
Use it to cover his mouth. When he tastes the sweetness of Tang Gua, he should say more good things. If he wants to tell a story or say something bad, let the Tang Guo stick stick to his mouth and let him
Even if I want to say something, I can't even open my mouth.
Li Feng also told this little story to the little girls. Tang Gua Seed is a sticky candy made from yellow rice and malt. It is sticky and sweet, and tastes good. It just sticks to your teeth, so don't eat too much.
Li Feng finished cleaning up and came to the small yard with the plate. The preparations were almost complete. A big rooster was tied up and put aside, and there was a lot of yellow paper. Baby and Qi Qi were tied with colorful quilts.
The quilts have been prepared a long time ago, and the incense table has been laid out. Above is the Stove Lord. Second Master, standing aside, Li Feng is the officiant today, as the father of two children. According to the rules in Lijiagang, even if a man does not sacrifice a woman, Li Feng takes it for granted.
, of course it would be better if Man Ying and Li Xiaoman could come together.
Grains and grains had been prepared early, as well as incense, candles, firecrackers, and thunder. The second master handed over a piece of yellow paper and wrote on it. The content was mostly that the two of them had entered the Li family, please invite the Kitchen Master.
The master sent it to heaven to know that the Li family added two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. Finally, there was a unique song, asking the Stove Lord to go to heaven to say good things.
Eighteen glutinous rice cakes were placed on plates and piled up to form a ladder to heaven. A rooster was put on feathers, flew to the sky, and sprinkled blood to worship the heaven. On a few pieces of yellow paper, it was written that the child's parents were older than the Stove Lord and sent to the heaven. The second master presided over the ceremony, and Li Feng officiated.
, the two children knelt on one side. Nowadays the ceremony is much simpler.
Finally, the incense was burned and the firecrackers were lit. The thunder resounded throughout the sky, startling countless birds. The thunder shook the sky and the earth, which was a reminder to God. Li Feng sent the Stove Lord away, took off the portrait and replaced it with a new one.
, the old portrait and yellow paper were burned together for the last step to send the Stove Lord to the West.
Xiaoqing and Lin Ying almost laughed out loud as they waited to hear the last sentence. "Xiaoying, why do you think this is still the case in Shangxitian?" Liu Lan suppressed her laughter, while Li Xin rolled her eyes.
"There is a saying about this. It is said that most of the little gods enter through the West Gate, so going to the West means going to heaven. These are what my grandma said. The mountains take these things seriously. Don't talk nonsense and make others laugh.
Some people may be rude to you directly. This is a matter of family importance." Li Xin said with a serious face, Liu Lan and Lin Ying were a little surprised, and they did not dare to say anything casually.
Xiaoqing stood by and held Mengmeng. The sacrifice was almost over. Baobao and Mengmeng finished offering incense and sending out the last yellow paper, and the whole ceremony was over.
"The ceremony is done, hehe, Xiaobao, please pull up the two children quickly. The ground is so cold." The second master smiled and took the red envelope from Li Shan. He must accept the money. Even so, the second master is not
Let other people take charge of this matter casually. This matter cannot be said to be a good thing, but after Li Feng, I must handle it well no matter what the second master says.
"Xiaobao, I won't talk about the Stove Lord anymore. You already know it. When you go down to visit the grave, the ancestors must not forget that the two children must kowtow a few times in the first year. I won't go." The second master finished.
, now they are out, Li Feng’s father hurriedly sends them out. Li Feng stands still, because if he doesn’t wait for the incense to finish burning, the Kitchen God will not send him to heaven. Li Feng and the baby, Qi Qi, cannot leave the yard.
"Baby, Qi Qi, remember, don't touch this Stove Lord these days. Remember, you can't touch him at all." In response to Li Feng's unprecedented severity, Bao Bao and Qi Qi nodded vigorously. This Stove Lord can't be touched.
, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it cannot be touched or broken.
The portrait will be kept well and sent to heaven next year to complete the final step of the whole ceremony. Li Feng also knows this. After explaining this step, Li Feng untied the two children who were wearing red and green clothes. "Okay, let's go play for a while. Dad.
I will take you to kowtow to our ancestors." There is still a lot of time, so take a rest. After a while, Li Feng is sweating profusely. (To be continued) rq
