This ancestral hall is also large, but the smell of incense inside is very strong. It is not as empty as the academy. There is an incense burner as high as a person in the middle of the courtyard, and the floor is covered with a red carpet.
Although the family ancestral hall is also a place to worship ancestors, it does not feel any coldness or fear at all. Looking at the names in the room makes people feel at ease. p>
The old man who let Chen Xing in asked: "Where are you from?"
"From Sichuan Province."
"Oh, Sichuan province, Rongcheng Chen family?"
Chen Xing shook his head.
"Then do you have any writing skills?"
"I don't remember."
Chen is considered a popular surname in the New Territories. Chen Xing has several grandfathers. Every year during the Qingming Festival, dozens of people go out together. The hotel has to reserve a floor, otherwise there will not be enough seats, but there is still no ancestral hall.
There is an attraction called the Chan Family Ancestral Hall, which is only a few kilometers away from the New Territories, but Chen Xing has never been there since he was so old, and has never heard his family mention anything about this place having anything to do with them.
The old man is a little disappointed.
He seems to want to help Chen Xing trace the source of Shuo and find out which branch of the Chen family it is.
Chen Xing doesn’t remember his generation.
But their ancestral home is definitely not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and may have something to do with Jiangxi. The genealogy in my grandfather’s family was recorded from the Qing Dynasty. Chen Xing read it once many years ago, and only remembered that the paper of the genealogy looked like it was made of hay.
Same, no other impression.
But no matter what, they are already New Territories people.
The old man asked Chen Xing to burn a stick of incense, and Chen Xing was very happy.
After all, they all belong to the old Chen family. Maybe they were the same ancestors thousands of years ago. Chen Xing bowed as usual and said in a low voice: "Please, seniors, bless me with a good harvest in career and love. Chen Xing is here first."
Thank you all."
Put incense and bow three times.
This ancestral hall is indeed very tastefully built, and there are many plaques on the main hall, such as the wooden signboards of Zhuangyuan and No. 6 Jinshi, Yanguan Chen's Mansion, etc. However, this is an ancestral hall after all, and it is not convenient for Chen Xing to look at it randomly.
It was even more inconvenient to take photos and videos, so he took a quick tour and came out.
The children were waiting for Chen Xing outside. When they saw him coming out, they quickly came over and asked, "He didn't hit you, did he?"
"Seventh uncle is so cruel!"
The next step is to go to the White Tower, located at the end of the village.
Chen Xing always called this place the White Pagoda, but he also had a name. Chen Fuyong said it was the Literary Style Pagoda. When he got closer, he saw that the sign said Tuanyun Pagoda, but in fact it just meant the same thing, which was to cultivate the local literary style.
.
This is more common in the south and is a kind of Feng Shui tower.
Like many clans, one of the keys to the prosperity of the Yanguan Chen family is reading. This can be seen from the Wenfeng Pagoda here, the academy in the village, and the plaques in the ancestral hall. Another proof is that other roads in the village
All have been renovated.
But the road near the college is still a very historical stone road.
Students throughout the ages have walked on those stone slabs, and they are still in use for hundreds of years. They do not get muddy or wet their shoes on rainy days. Doesn’t this kind of preferential treatment for scholars prove the status of reading in their hearts?
?
Tuanyun Pagoda is located in the center of the pond, surrounded by lotus flowers. This scenery made Chen Xing linger and sit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to look at the white pagoda and lotus flowers.
Until Chen Fuyong came over with his family.
"Chen Xing?" he greeted.
Jing Jing wanted to laugh again when she saw Chen Xing, but she held it back. Now she has to pretend to be a lady no matter what...
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Hello, are you done?"
"That's almost it." He introduced to his parents, "This is Chen Xing, who came back with us before. These are my parents."
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Chen Xing said.
This family really looks alike, and it’s not just a matter of appearance, but the fact that Hanako’s mouth likes to show his teeth when he smiles, making him look particularly cheerful and happy.
"Okay, okay, oh Ah Yong, why haven't I heard you say that before!"
The uncle was very enthusiastic and completely treated Chen Xing as his son's friend. Chen Fuyong didn't say that he met him on the way. After briefly giving Chen Xing's information, he and his girlfriend were together and chatting quietly. Chen Xing is always worried that Jing Jing will talk about hanging out with children, and feels a little guilty.
But the old couple saw it as something they couldn't let go of, so they became even more enthusiastic.
After all, Chen Fuyong and Xiao An are together, so the uncles and aunts can only chat with Chen Xing, and they cannot leave the guests alone.
"Chen Xing, where are you from?"
"From Sichuan Province."
"Oh, Sichuan Province, is this your first time in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
"Well, I just came here a few days ago."
"Then you must have never tasted our drunken shrimp, right? This is our traditional craft. The ones made in the hotel are not as delicious as ours. You and Xiao An must eat more in a while to refresh your mind." Huh? Why are you so close to eating?
Chen Xing is indeed a little hungry, but he doesn’t want to go to Chen Fuyong’s house for dinner.
Before Chen Xing could refuse, Chen Fuyong said: "Yes, you are eating alone anyway, so come with us. But it's just a matter of a pair of fast food. The drunken shrimp and fish balls made by my mother are super
Awesome."
His mother smiled very happily, showing her gums.
The child praised her craftsmanship in front of her friends and girlfriend, which obviously made her feel very proud.
"It's almost time to float the fish. I have to go back and knead the fish balls. You guys can go shopping again."
Jing Jing immediately said: "Then I won't go shopping anymore. I want to go back and learn from you."
Chen Fuyong looked at Chen Xing, who said: "I've been playing here for almost two hours. If you don't mind, I'll interrupt you..."
Drunken shrimp, he wants to eat it.
There are also fish balls, but I don’t know what the difference is from the fish balls in Hong Kong.
"Hey! Don't bother me. You are Ah Yong's friend. Coming to us is like coming to your own home. And your surname is Chen, so maybe we were really the same family before. Don't be polite." p>
Walk back to Chen Fuyong's home.
The two-story building has more than 100 square meters on each floor, which is still more than 100 square meters without a public stall, so it looks very big. The things in the living room are not very cheap. The latest Xiaomi 75 super large-screen TV is placed
In the living room.
The sofa is also very comfortable to sit on.
But except for uncle, no one was sitting in the living room to rest. They were all crowded in the kitchen watching auntie cooking.
Fortunately, the kitchen is also very large, so they won't look crowded standing here.
Chen Fuyong's mother explained the cooking method to Chen Xing and others while cooking. She had already prepared the first step of the fish balls before, which was to use a kitchen knife to scrape the fish meat from the fish body. Now the delicate fish meat has been completely
The scraped off, white flowers were placed in a transparent bowl.
The bowl is filled with water, which is what she said before.
"Floating fish meat can remove the fishy smell and make it whiter. It can also reduce some impurities in the fish meat, making it more delicious when you eat it."
She scooped up a handful skillfully and felt it was ready.
"The time of blanching cannot be too long, otherwise the fish meat will not be made into fish balls if they are not fresh, and they will not stick together. Then when beating the fish meat, you must use a kitchen knife to stamp it slowly, and you cannot use a meat beater. The meat beater will not produce good results.
Eat."
Chen Xing seemed to understand, but he remembered it all.
These are all experiences.
Chen Xing has a lot of experience, but rarely does any practical work in the kitchen.
In the future, if he has to go to the kitchen frequently, these experiences will come in handy, allowing Chen Xing to master the methods of these dishes in a short time.
After finishing the preparations, the aunt carefully checked whether there were any fish bones in the minced fish meat. After this inspection, she put the white, tender and finely minced fish meat into a transparent bowl filled with a small amount of water.
Stir inside.
"Well, Xiao An, you can boil water in an iron pot."
Jing Jing quickly started to take action, and Chen Fuyong told her where the things in the kitchen were and how to use them.
The aunt was stirring the fish clockwise with her tachyon, so fast that her hand was left with an afterimage. Chen Xing watched as the fish in the bowl turned into something like lotus root starch, becoming more and more sticky.<
/p>
There are no additives at all, just water, fish, and a little salt.
Is it so magical?
When the aunt taught Jing Jing, she had already begun to direct her to work, but no one asked Chen Xing to help. He stood near the back and watched the aunt operate, trying his best to record every step in his mind.
I'm still thinking, where is the Drunken Shrimp?
Compared to fish balls, Chen Xing obviously wants to know how drunken shrimps are made.
He had eaten drunken crab before, but to be honest, he was a little disappointed. The cooked crab had a bit of alcoholic taste. To be honest, it didn't meet Chen Xing's psychological expectations. It was completely different from what he saw on the tip of his tongue, so he wanted to imitate his aunt.
What I mean is authentic and traditional.
The fish meat has been mixed, the water has been boiled, and the soup stock is almost ready under the command of the aunt.
Chen Xing saw her aunt pinch the fish meat with her hands, use a spoon to scoop out a round shape, put it very gently into the boiling water, and then use a large spoon to gently turn it clockwise in the pot.
She said: "This is Yu Yu Yu Yuan, which is called Yu in Yanguan dialect. Yu is the key to controlling the temperature of the fish balls. You cannot turn on the fire. Fish balls are very delicate. Whatever you do, you must do it gently. If you are strong, the fish will be
Either the circle will break into pieces or it will not take shape."
When I finally scooped it up, every one of them looked like glutinous rice balls, and not a single one was broken.
Add a few slices of sliced ham and top with the freshly made stock.
Authentic Jiangnan Fish Balls in Clear Soup is ready.
It's beautifully made and beautifully presented. If this was placed in a hotel, wouldn't it sell for 188 a copy?
Chen Xing opened his mouth in an O shape and clapped vigorously.
"Auntie, you are so awesome, aren't you? These fish balls are delicious and delicious."
"Hahaha, where are you? You're welcome. Go and sit down. I'll do the rest."
Chen Xing wanted to see how the drunken shrimp was cooked, but found that his aunt had already started cooking side dishes. Chen Xing didn't even see a shell of the drunken shrimp. He was a little confused, but it was hard to ask, so he could only follow into the living room. Chen Fuyong opened the refrigerator and took out a large bowl covered with plastic wrap.
Inside are river shrimps that are still moving.
Ouch...this is the Drunken Shrimp!
How to do it?
Chen Xing was confused.
The uncle also came with a wine glass and a bottle of wine: "Come on, Xiaoxing, come and sit. I felt friendly when I saw you in the lotus pond. I didn't expect that you are also Ah Yong's friend. Isn't it a coincidence?
No? Come and have a drink."
Chen Fuyong also said:
"It's still a little late for you to travel here. Next year, let's see if you have time in March. We have a large-scale ancestor worship activity here, which will be very lively. Many tourists from other places will also come here at this time.
You can come and take a look then."
The rest of the dishes were quickly served.
There is no chili, but the fragrance is very strong, and the various fresh aromas mixed together are enough to stimulate the appetite of any anorexic patient.
Chen Xing picked up a small shrimp that was still moving, and was a little confused about how to eat it.
How do you want to eat this?
When the aunt saw it, she immediately taught Chen Xing and Jing Jing how to eat it, saying: "Pinch the tail with one hand and the head with the other, put your mouth towards the belly of the drunken shrimp, pinch and suck, and the meat will come out. And the meat will come out."
In this way, eating drunken shrimp can leave intact shrimp shells."
The uncle nodded and said: "Yes, whether you can eat drunken shrimp depends on whether there are still intact shells left after eating."
Chen Xing learns quickly.
Jing Jing is from Yanjing, and it took her several attempts to completely preserve a shrimp shell, and she burst into laughter as she sat down to eat.

I didn’t get any talents or skills.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But it’s pretty good, it’s 100,000 yuan, and coming back this time is like a trip in vain.
It's just that Chen Xing didn't expect that Chenjiacun is also among the top 100 most beautiful ancient towns. What is the selection mechanism? Does it have nothing to do with the evaluation on the Internet, but only about his own feelings. Which ancient town he went to felt good, and that is the top 100 most beautiful ancient towns? If so...
Chen Xing suddenly felt that the book he wrote had not been published yet, and the subject of the new book had come up again.
It’s still a theme sent by the system.
………………
The next day, Chen Xing woke up in the hotel at the entrance of the village.
At his insistence last night, he checked into a hotel not far from Chen Fuyong's home. He was really embarrassed to have food and accommodation at Chen Fuyong's house.
Yesterday I drank a lot of wine, but Chen Xing's strong physique was completely immune to the damage caused by a hangover. It was just that the bed inevitably smelled of wine, so he just went to the bathroom and took a shower.
Sitting on a chair by the window, listening to the chirping of birds outside, this feeling made Chen Xing very relaxed.
From now on, I will come to a place like this for my retirement.
Taking out his notebook, Chen Xing started editing the pictures again. He quickly finished the work he didn't do yesterday when he had time. Otherwise, Chen Xing didn't know where he would live tonight or what would happen to him.<
/p>
A few good ones were repaired and sent to the gallery, and the rest...
It’s not good enough to put it on a website.
Then send them all out.
Chen Xing hasn’t made a pure photo video for a long time. He uses Bizhan’s own editing software, which contains a lot of Bizhan’s copyrighted background music, which saves him from buying the copyright from others.
This kind of video is made very quickly.
Complete, send...
