On the day of the beginning of spring, the patriarch announced the good news in the family with Ming. Winter has passed!
The people were overjoyed. Every family and the patriarch began to blow the horn made of rhinoceros horn. The sound was enough to frighten the valley.
Chen Jia was shocked by the momentum of the tribal people and meditated for a long time in the sound of such a secluded and solemn horn.
Strong wing also took out the horn hanging at home and blew a sound into the sky.
Chen Jia asked him, "why do people blow the horn on the day of spring?"
Strong wing replied: "this is to express the joy of the past winter. At the same time, hibernating animals will start foraging on this day, and more wild animals will gather around the tribe than usual. The earthshaking sound can disperse them and go further to find food."
"I see." Chen Jia replied, "it's a memorable day. Let's eat dumplings in the evening. It's the new year."
Fierce wing did not understand and asked him, "what is the new year?"
Chen jiaa: "it's a festival. In my original tribe, people will celebrate the new year in spring. On the day of the new year, families get together to eat dumplings, watch the Spring Festival Gala and set off firecrackers. Adults will also give children lucky money."
There are too many words in this sentence that lie Yi doesn't understand. He is used to it and says, "then eat dumplings."
Chen Jia said, "you have to help me make dumpling stuffing."
"OK."
Chen Jia came to the spirit and asked lie Yi to find pork and chop it with a bone knife, while he went to make noodles. Because he didn't find wheat seeds last year, Chen Jia harvested only oats. The texture of oatmeal is coarser than wheat. Fortunately, it's not too sticky. Making dumplings can barely take shape.
Strong wing cuts meat on the chopping board with two huge bone knives. He is especially good at this kind of manual work without technical content. He can chop the meat stuffing into fine pieces again and again. He can't find any large pieces. Chen Jia checked it with satisfaction and gave him a thumbs up.
Strong wing knows that this gesture represents praise, and a smile also floats on his face.
Chen Jia made different vegetable fillings with pork, and then wrapped them by types. Lieyi had no patience with the delicate work of making dumplings. He made two soft dumplings and began to make trouble, playing with dough and sticking pork.
Chen Jia has long seen that no matter how big the lion is, it also maintains the habits of cats, and its private curiosity is stronger than anyone else.
Chen Jia laughed it off. When the dumplings were half wrapped, Bligh came home as a guest. He didn't know anything about medicine, so he came to ask.
Chen Jia answered his doubts and left him to eat dumplings. In this tribe, whoever Chen Jia asks to stay for dinner will never refuse, because everyone knows that Chen Jia's kitchen will produce delicious food. Bligh looked forward to the fresh ingredients in Chen Jia's hands. He also learned to make dumplings with Chen Jia. They started together and soon made a big table of dumplings.
Chen Jia asked lie Yi to boil the boiling water, and the dumplings plopped down one by one. After adding cold water to boil three times, you can start the pot.
At this time, there was no special smell. Chen Jia made different dipping materials, divided three bowls and said, "start!"
Bly couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and put it in his mouth. With a bite of silver teeth, the dumpling skin cracked and the delicious meat inside melted into his mouth. It's really delicious in the world!
As soon as bly ate, she couldn't stop. She didn't even care about the dip. She killed a large bowl of dumplings.
The same is true of Lieyi. He eats hard, one by one.
Chen Jia is good. She is leisurely dipping in the sauce. As soon as she looks up, there are no dumplings on the plate. It's really amazing!
Chen Jia said, "there's still..."
The voice didn't fall to the ground. Xiao Ya from the next door came again. This time, he came to the door directly with dishes and chopsticks. Unexpectedly, he took a big step in front of lie Yi and filled a bowl of dumplings first.
Xiao Ya was salivating for Chen Jia's craft. He could dream of the delicious food in his dream. This time, he ate a delicious thing.
Bligh was even more ashamed to ask, "what is this thing made of?"
Chen Jia replied: "grind the wheat into flour, mix the flour, chop the meat, put the seasoning and wrap it in the flour crust."
Bly asked again, "is that the kind of wheat you grow in the field?"
"No, I grow oats in my field. In fact, what we eat today is also made of oats. But the wheat flour is more delicate and delicious, so I plan to plant wheat next year."
Bly had hope in his eyes: "I also want to learn to grow wheat."
"Yes, when I sow, I will distribute the seeds to everyone."
After listening, bly hurried back and said, "I'll go back to plough first."
After a winter, anyone can see that the acres planted by Chen Jia are not simple. Eating sweet potatoes alone is enough to make everyone's winter table no longer boring, not to mention the vegetables they can't even name.
Gradually, families began to pay attention to farming.
Chen Jia was overjoyed and found the patriarch with all kinds of seeds and cultivation instructions. The patriarch put these things in his father-in-law's warehouse, and each family can choose according to their needs. As for the cultivation instructions, those who have studied literacy here in Chen Jia in winter can barely understand them.
After the beginning of spring, the males of the winged lions went out to hunt, while the females cultivated and spun at home, gradually forming a preliminary distinctive division of traditional farming culture.
Another good news at the beginning of spring is that the females of more than 30 families in the family have announced that they are pregnant.
The patriarch was very happy. In previous winter, people who didn't die were good. People were hungry and cold. At this time, there would be almost no new life. This year, because there was no shortage of food and clothing, there was such good news! This is unprecedented in any tribe!
The patriarch announced that this year's Spring Festival festival will be bigger. He will invite people from other nationalities to visit the winged lion family to show the strength of the tribe.
Chen Jiayi asked lie Yi, "what is the Spring Festival festival festival?"
The pupil of fierce wing's different color flashed a light of pondering, and answered: "it's a special festival. On that day, everyone will gather in the square, and the female will prepare gifts for the male."
Chen Jia reflected that it was the kind of mutual heart telling festival in the ancient Qiqiao Festival? Now it's troublesome. Seeing that the Spring Festival festival is coming, how can he give any gift to lie Yi?
He said with some worry, "why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Strong wing smiles with calculation. Unfortunately, Chen Jiajing worries and doesn't see it at all.
Strong wing said, "you have time to prepare now. I'm looking forward to your gift to me."
Chen Jia is worried at home. Bligh suddenly panicked and came to ask for help: "Chen Jia! Come quickly, Milan, she's going to have a baby!"
Chen Jia stood up from the stone stool: "go and call the high priest. Wait for me. I want to bring something."
Bligh replied, "she's already barking. Milan has had a stomachache for a long time, but she can't give birth!"
Surprised, Chen Jiaxin quickly took the bottles and cans of her own medicine and quickly followed. Knowing that the matter was urgent, strong wing directly held Chen Jia in his arms, ran up with long legs, and rushed to MI Lan's door a few times.
