Twenty-five years old.

Longshan Village.

Jiang's mother, aunt, sister-in-law, cousin-in-law and others are dividing the sweet jellyfish into mice-sized jellyfish and putting them in small white plastic bags. This way, you don't have to cut them up when you want to eat them, which is much more convenient.

.

At this time, the zhan has just been made, and it is still a little hot to the touch, but if it is hot, you have to separate the zhan quickly, because after the zhan is cooled, it must be put into the refrigerator for quick freezing.

This step is very critical. If you want to preserve the soft, chewy texture of Tianzhi, you must freeze it in the refrigerator as soon as it cools down. Then when you want to eat it, take it out and defrost it, and then the Tianzhi will be ready.

It’s as soft, chewy and chewy as when it’s freshly made!

If you delay it for a long time and the jelly hardens, then put it in the refrigerator to quickly freeze, it will not have the same effect!

Jiang Mu and others don't understand the specific principle, but they have experience in this area.

Jiang's mother divided the jackals and said, "When the jackals are frozen hard, when you go back, get a foam box and put the jackals in. When you get home, put them in the refrigerator for quick freezing. When you want to eat them, take them out and defrost them.

It tastes like it does now.”

When Aunt Jiang Chunlian was at her parents' house, no one in the village had a refrigerator, so no one knew about such a little trick. Later, she didn't come back often after getting married, and she didn't come back during the Spring Festival, so she never knew how sweet it was.

Preserved in this way, the original taste can be preserved.

Hearing her sister-in-law's instructions, Jiang Chunlian nodded repeatedly to express her understanding!

Several people shared the rice together, and soon the rice was divided into small portions.

Moreover, the weather is a bit cold now. After basically dividing the jackals, they are almost cooled down, and then they are put into a freezer specially bought to freeze jackals for quick freezing.

After making the sweet jellyfish, Mother Jiang began to instruct everyone to make the gray water jellyfish.

Because my aunt is going back to Shenzhen City tomorrow to celebrate the New Year, I have to make all the zhen today for my aunt to take back.

For this year's gray water zhan, Jiang Mu used sesame ash to make alkaline water. Because no one in Longshan Village grew sesame seeds, Jiang Mu spent a lot of effort and many connections to collect the sesame ash.

.

Using alkaline water to make gray water can only be done well by experienced people, because the proportion of alkaline water is very particular. If the amount is small, the fragrance will not be there, and if the amount is large, the smell of alkaline water will be too strong and there will be a smell.

Bitter taste.

Only when the amount of alkaline water is appropriate, the prepared gray water rice will be fragrant and unstoppably delicious.

In fact, many people in Longshan Village now make gray water rice instead of using ash to make alkaline water. Instead, they directly use baking powder. This is convenient and fast, and it is easy to control the amount.

Of course, the main reason is that there is less farming in this era. Twenty or thirty years ago, there were many people in the village planting beans and sesame seeds, and there were many pine trees on the mountains, so there was never a shortage of good ash for making gray water jackals.

But in the past ten years or so, few people in the village have grown these things, and only a few pine trees on the mountain have been cut down. It has become increasingly difficult to use good ash to make alkaline water.

Therefore, in order to save trouble, everyone gradually started to use baking powder!

Sweet rice is made by machine, but gray water rice is made manually.

Soak the glutinous rice in alkaline water, steam it in a pot, then pour it into a round trough dug out with a huge stone (big wood was used in the past), then pick up a big wooden hammer and hammer it again and again until the glutinous rice is beaten.

It's not finished until no more grains of rice are visible.

Fighting this thing requires a lot of physical strength, and it also pays attention to the technique of exerting force. Those who have good physical strength and know how to exert force can fight dozens of gray water jackals a day without any problem, but ordinary people can't fight any of them if they don't stop.

.

There are many men in the Jiang family, and Jiang's father and Jiang Fei are both middle-level masters. They can hunt more than a dozen jackals for fun, without Jiang Feng even having to do anything, and his cousin is just getting addicted to it.

My cousin and sister-in-law have never seen the scene of killing the ash water jack. They both watched it with great interest. My cousin and sister-in-law kept taking videos with their mobile phones. Especially when my cousin came on stage, my cousin and sister-in-law recorded the whole process.

After finishing all the gray water jackals, my cousin and sister-in-law started to select videos to post on WeChat Moments!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng also made a video and sent it to Huang Lingwei, asking, "Do you recognize what this is?"

Huang Lingwei: "Isn't this glutinous rice cake?"

Jiang Feng: "We call it Huishui Zhi here. It is indeed similar to glutinous rice cake, but the taste should be different. Do you want to try it?"

Huang Lingwei: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance. I'm very envious of you. Yesterday, pigs were killed, today we make zhen, and tomorrow we offer sacrifices to gods. There are different activities every day. It sounds like the New Year. Unlike here, we celebrate the New Year.

I feel nothing except being more deserted than usual."

Jiang Feng: "This is the difference between rural areas and big cities. Although rural areas are not as festive as before, they are still much better than big cities. At the end of the year, almost all those who go out to work will come back to celebrate the New Year. Every household is preparing for the New Year."

In preparation for the New Year, there is indeed still some New Year flavor."

Huang Lingwei: "Ever since I was a child, I didn't know what the flavor of the New Year was."

Jiang Feng: "When you marry me, I will take you back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, and you will know what the taste of the New Year is!"

Huang Lingwei: "..."

Jiang Feng chatted with Huang Lingwei for more than an hour, but he never told her that he would go to Shenzhen City on the fifth day of the first lunar month. He planned to give her a surprise then and take the opportunity to capture her.

After all, the relationship between the two has already reached a critical point. No matter which party takes the initiative, they can easily break through the window paper.

…

Because my aunt and her family were going back tomorrow, Jiang’s mother prepared a large table of food and wine to see her off in advance!

While eating, Jiang Feng had been wrestling with a question in his mind, which was whether or not he should use his wall-breaking ability to increase his aunt and uncle's extreme marriage matching value.

To be honest, just because of his cheap uncle's attitude towards his aunt and his extramarital affairs, Jiang Feng always wanted to persuade his aunt to divorce him, and then find an uncle who was ten times better than her.

But his cousin Cui Yuan's attitude towards his mother's relatives was quite good. Jiang Feng really couldn't do such a thing as persuading his parents to divorce.

Since he can't persuade his aunt to divorce, for the sake of her aunt's happiness, it stands to reason that Jiang Feng should use her wall-breaking ability to increase her extreme marriage matching value with her uncle.

However, Jiang Feng felt a little unhappy if he did this.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Feng understood that even if he was a wall hanging, he couldn't always have everything he wanted.

After much consideration, Jiang Feng decided to use his wall-breaking ability on his aunt's marriage for the sake of his aunt's happiness and the sake of his cousin.

Originally, the aunt and uncle's marriage failed. After Jiang Feng used the wall-breaking ability, their extreme marriage matching value was directly increased to 69 points.

This score is naturally much lower than that of the clients Jiang Feng matched, but in reality it is already a good marriage, and it can be said to be one of ten.

Because the ability to break the wall increases the extreme marriage matching value rather than the current marriage matching value, there is no immediate effect. Instead, it is gentle and drizzle, moisturizing things silently, and gradually improving the relationship between the two of them.

…

The next day, after breakfast, my aunt's family of three set off home!

Then, the three brothers and sisters Jiang Feng were busy arranging blind dates for their clients and looking after their homes, because this wave of clients all came back from working in other provinces and had to go back to work after the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, this wave of clients are pursuing a quick marriage. They have blind dates on the first day, house visits on the second day, and registration for marriage on the third day. They all want to take advantage of this Spring Festival holiday to settle the marriage matters.

Therefore, Jiang Feng's three brothers and sisters, including Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, were extremely busy in the next few days. Everyone had to arrange blind dates and housekeeping several times a day.

Even, in order to save blind date time, several couples are arranged to go on blind dates nearby, and then the matchmaker goes back and forth between them.

I was busy until New Year's Eve, when I finally stopped.

No matter how urgent it is, no one would choose New Year's Eve or New Year's Day for a blind date.

On New Year's Eve, various places have their own customs. The custom here in Longshan Village is to kill chickens and geese to worship their ancestors. At noon, the children take a bath and put on new clothes, put up Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns.

The New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve has become a hot topic in recent years, with many celebrities taking the lead in celebrating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner here in Longshan Village is called the reunion dinner, and the meal is not served in the evening like other places. Instead, cooking is started after worshiping the ancestors at noon. Generally, the reunion dinner can be eaten around one o'clock in the afternoon.

There are many brothers and sisters in rural areas, and the reunion dinner is a hundred times more lively than in the city. It is often not just a family meal, but a family reunion dinner together.

Therefore, every New Year's Eve, the most common scene here in Longshan Village is to move a few tables together, and then dozens of people gather around to eat.

Especially the men who drink are not limited to eating at their own homes, but also visit various places with wine. Anyway, the people living nearby are basically cousins, so it doesn't matter where they eat or drink.

Whichever restaurant is lively and has a good drinking atmosphere, they will sit and drink in that restaurant.

In previous years, not many people in the village would visit Jiang Feng's house for a drink. After all, everyone would visit the family and usually go to the houses where the families were nice and hospitable.

This year, with Jiang Feng's strong rise, their family's status in the village has changed. Halfway through the reunion dinner, the more active drinkers started arriving one after another.

Most of the drinkers who came to the door came with drinks. After greeting each one, they sat down and started drinking without any courtesy, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

This reunion dinner is a fast-paced family meal with just a few members of the family, so it will naturally end hastily. But most people will drink, and they will usually drink until three or four o'clock.

Even in some families with a good atmosphere, they can drink right into the evening.

Of course, in addition to drinking, red envelopes for children are indispensable.

At present, Jiang Feng and his family do not have any children, so he gives out red envelopes to the children of his neighbors. The money given is not much, only fifty yuan each. He gives away red envelopes to all the children of the nearby neighbors, which is only one or two thousand yuan.
