"Brother Yun Fei, what do we buy for the new year? We didn't even make bacon and sausage this year... "After we settled more than a dozen relatives of the cloud family, we finally calmed down.
Today is the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Other people's new year goods are well prepared.
In the past, I spent the new year with several other families, but this year the situation is different. Ni Lishuang has officially become the hostess of this family, so they can't go to other people's homes for the new year. However, there is no problem inviting people from other families to their own homes for the new year.
He has been busy with his work and has to take care of Yunfei. Therefore, Ni Lishuang has not prepared for any new year goods so far. She had no time to run into the city.
"Where did we get the bacon and sausage we ate these days?" Yun Fei asked Ni Lishuang curiously.
He likes bacon and sausage best.
The bacon and sausage in Bashu are very famous all over the country.
Bacon is usually fresh pork coated with salt, sprinkled with pepper, pepper and other ingredients, put the meat jar in the dark room for ten days and a half months, wait until the salt enters the meat, then take it out, wash it, blow dry, and then smoke it into a golden color with cypress leaves, orange peel and orange tree leaves, so it tastes very fragrant.
Of course, the most important thing is to put salt on the meat. If you put too much salt, it will taste too salty and not fragrant; If the salt is applied too little, the meat will stink and cannot be preserved.
Well done bacon, if well preserved, can even last three or four years. Yun Fei has heard that Bacon can be eaten even after being preserved for seven years.
Bashu people are lazy, cunning and delicious in the eyes of people from other provinces.
Among them, the most important is reflected in the word "eat". All kinds of snacks and dishes can't be found anywhere more than Bashu.
Rural people, ordinary people, will kill at least one new year pig. The scene of killing pigs every year is quite spectacular.
In the mountains, many farmers near the base will kill new year pigs on the same day. Several families will display a large area after the pigs are killed, which is rarely spectacular. Yun Fei liked killing pigs best when he was young. After killing a pig, it not only means that he can eat his favorite bacon and sausage, but also the most important thing is that he can make as much as he wants to eat fat meat, lean meat and lean meat just a few days after killing a young pig.
Of course, after killing the new year pig, it will start stewing the bones and fat intestines of the pig for several days. These things usually taste fresh. After pickling, they don't taste so good.
From the beginning of winter every year, when the temperature drops to the time when the meat is not easy to go bad, families begin to prepare bacon and sausage.
In the countryside, after the cured meat is made, it will all be hung on the beam of the kitchen, so that the firewood burned during cooking can continue to smoke. Similarly, when there are guests at home, they can intuitively show it to the guests.
"It was all made by Qing's mother, but it seems that she didn't make much at that time, and now she doesn't have much..." Ni Lishuang can't pickle bacon herself. She doesn't have the slightest experience at all. In this era, there is no bacon in supermarkets. Most people like to pickle it by themselves.
"Then why didn't you ask her to do more?" Yun Fei is depressed. When the Chinese new year was approaching last year, Jiuyi heavy industry had just begun to put into production, and Qing yu'e was too busy. None of the companies had time to make bacon. This year, Yun Fei's mouth was clear when he thought of that thing.
"..." Ni Lishuang said nothing.
Yun Fei also knows that it's too late to buy meat for bacon. As soon as spring comes, the temperature gradually rises, and the cured meat can't be kept for long.
This year, Yun Fei and Ni Lishuang, who had not prepared the materials for the new year, didn't know what to buy. After Ni Lishuang ran to find Qing yu'e, he excitedly took a densely written list with fragrant sisters and took Yunfei to the city to buy.
Now, although Chengdu already has a large supermarket, it takes a lot of time to buy all these things on the list.
Dried fruit, fruit and other things, this is a must.
Snacks such as sugar, raisins and melon seeds are also necessary.
Cigarettes, wine and drinks are also indispensable, but these can be bought directly in the convenience supermarket of 91 heavy industry, and there is no need to go to the city to buy them.
Others are chicken, duck, fish and vegetables, which can be bought directly in the aerospace supporting vegetable market and the original vegetable market in the town. Due to the emergence of 91 airlines, many seafood stores have appeared in Chengdu.
"Brother Yunfei, let's buy some fireworks and put them back?" Since childhood, Ni Lishuang likes to watch fireworks. However, there are basically no fireworks in the base, which can only be seen on TV. So once you get to the place where you buy fireworks, you can't move your steps.
"Yes, brother, let's buy more and put them on the square of our community when the new year comes..." the fragrant sisters also looked at the fireworks tube which was not beautifully packaged and couldn't walk.
"Buy what? The company bought 100000 fireworks this year and put them on during the new year... "Yun Fei said to several people with a smile.
After making money, it is inevitable to buy some fireworks.
But during this time, Ni Lishuang has to take care of the two sisters, clean up the house and accompany her aunt, so she doesn't know that the company has procurement in this regard.
As the new year approaches, it seems that all Chengdu people plan to buy new year goods today. The department store is packed with people. Countless people come out with large and small bags, and countless people waving money go in.
As soon as they saw the battle, several people went straight to the retreat drum.
"Brother, let's forget it. Anyway, we can buy things in the economic development zone... "Jiang Xiufen doesn't want to squeeze. The crowded crowd is too scary.
"Yes, brother Yunfei, let's forget it..." Ni Lishuang was also frightened by the purchasing army in the department store. She had never seen a department store as crowded as it is now.
Usually, there is no such traffic in department stores.
"Come on, come on. Just born in sweat, let's take exercise! " Yun Fei looked at the crowd at the entrance and exit in front of him and was very excited.
With the development of domestic economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the taste of the new year will be weaker and weaker after 20 years. There is no difference between the new year and ordinary times. It is just that relatives and friends get together and eat the same things as usual.
With the rapid economic development, the Chinese people have lost too many things.
The years that had been of great significance for thousands of years are gradually disappearing in the era of rapid economic development.
Looking for new year's flavor, start with the purchasing army of new year's goods.
