Because cooking rice dumplings is not a heavy fume, Jiang Feng did not change his work clothes and directly wore his own clothes into the back kitchen.
After entering the back kitchen, he discovered that Wu Minqi and Ji Xue, who had not been seen before, actually sat on a small stool in the back kitchen to handle the beans.
A cursory glance, Wu Minqi and Ji Xue had 9 small bags beside them. They looked small but added a lot of weight. Each bag should contain different beans. Wu Minqi was peeling soybeans, Ji Xue was peeling broad beans, and peeling the beans was fine work. The two sat quietly, silent and motionless, staring at the beans on their hands, only their fingers were dancing flexibly.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"Axue said that he would make a birthday soup for Grandpa Jiang. She peeled the beans alone was too slow. I will help her." Wu Minqi said.
"Birthday soup?"
"In fact, it is bean soup. It is a soup that my mother over 90 years old will drink during their birthday. Zhushou soup uses 9 different beans. The elderly will put as many beans as their birthday this year. It was originally If you do n’t have a name, then everyone called this soup for the sake of a good color, ”Ji Xue explained.
"Only beans and nothing else?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Only beans, just put some salt." Ji Xuedao.
9 kinds of beans with only salt ...
Jiang Feng thought for a while, and the soul asked, "The soup made in this way ... is it delicious?"
Ji Xue was silent: "It's hard to drink."
Jiang Feng & Wu Minqi: ...
Wu Minqi paused her hands while she was flicking broad beans. She now regrets getting on Ji Xue, a thief boat, to help her peel beans.
"Since it's hard to drink, why is it still a custom now?" Wu Minqi couldn't understand it.
As we all know, there are various stories and snacks that have always been linked with a certain emperor who likes to go to the south of the Yangtze River. They are still spread because they are delicious.
Food is the simplest thing in the world, only competing for taste.
"Maybe it's because of the origin of this soup. I also listened to my grandmother. She said that many years ago, there was a house in their village where the grandma likes to eat beans very much, but at home it is very difficult to eat beans. Number. Later, the grandma was too old and she lost all her chews, and her children and grandchildren cooked bean soup for her. "Ji Xue is not a person who is good at telling stories, and always talk about it. Stop and stop, think about it, clear up your thoughts, and then continue.
"During that 91st birthday, her grandson cooked her a small bowl of miscellaneous soup made with 9 different beans. Only one of each bean was put in the house. Later, the Ah 92 At the age of her birthday, her grandson cooked another bowl of bean soup for each bean. "
"After the birthday of the grandma at the age of 99, their family suddenly changed. So at the time of the grandma of the grandma at the age of 100, her grandson cooked 10 beans of 10 kinds with 10 different beans each. The village soup was invited to drink together. People in the village felt that the grandmother was able to live so long because she drank her grandson and cooked bean soup for her, so whenever there were elderly people over 90 in the family, for the sake of favor Caitou will cook bean soup for him during his birthday. "
"And because everyone ’s living conditions are better now, and they do n’t have to count the number of beans they eat like before, so when you cook bean soup, you always put as many beans as you are old. Everyone thinks that bean soup The name is not good, now it is called Zhushou Tang. "Ji Xuedao.
"Then what?" Jiang Feng asked, he didn't think the story had finished.
"What then?" Ji Xue was a little hesitant.
"At this grandma's 100th birthday, her grandson cooked her bean soup with 10 different beans. What happened when she was 101 years old?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I do n’t know. This is just a saying. I do n’t know when the grandma was. This story was told to me by my grandmother when I was a kid. Everyone said so, and it ’s the same. No one really knows. "Ji Xuedao," And the tradition in our family is that the old man cannot live a longevity after he is 100 years old, and he needs to hide his age so that he can live a long life. Maybe the grandma wo n’t be born after 100 years. It ’s gone, so her grandson wo n’t cook her soup. ”
Jiang Feng was immediately relieved. Legends are always full of people's various fantastic fantasies and longings. There is no need for logic, just entrust their own wishes.
The origin of this birthday soup in Ji Xuekou is already very reasonable and convincing in all kinds of strange legends.
Jiang Feng vaguely remembers that the various customs and legends in the village that Grandma Jiang told him when he was a child are basically related to ghosts and gods. What is said to have been a long time ago when the children of households have been evil, long ago the daughter-in-law of other households have been evil, long ago the elderly of households have been evil or the like. Or even earlier, a lady from a large family ran away in the city, and an insatiable landlord received a chatter-like legend such as fairies' revenge. When he was young, Jiang Feng was stunned.
As if not being evil, and not elopeing, there is no way to constitute a legend without a monster to repay his favor.
Jiang Feng went to take a look at the rice dumplings in the pot. Without boiled dumplings, Jiang Feng went to help Ji Xue peel the beans, sit side by side with Wu Minqi and peel the broad beans.
The broad bean skin is hard. It is easier to peel the broad bean after adding salt and boiling it in hot water. However, Ji Xue told Jiang Feng that since Zhushou Tang was originally a manifestation of filial piety for the elders and grandchildren, the harder it is to peel the beans, the better. It is said that the harder the elderly are, the longer the elderly will live longer.
Strange custom, but the starting point is good.
When Wu Minqi finished processing all the red beans, mung beans and soya beans, Jiang Feng and Ji Xue could only handle 99 grains of broad beans.
Jiang Feng hasn't had such a high intensity for a long time and kept his head down and stared at a small thing. After peeling the broad beans, he looked up and felt that the whole day was bright ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Although the lights on the ceiling.
"Yes, Ji Xue, have you ever had this kind of soup?" Jiang Feng asked with a twisted neck.
He felt that he was not far from cervical spondylosis.
"Drank, I drank it at a grandma's 100-year-old banquet when I was very young." Ji Xue showed an inexplicable expression, "Although the taste is not good, my grandmother said it was a blessing. Everyone must Drinking a bowl is a blessing to the elderly. "
"But it is said that the bean curd soup at the first grandma's 100-year-old banquet was very delicious, but I don't know why it is so difficult to drink now." Ji Xue added.
Jiang Feng nodded and said that he understood that in the era of scarce supplies, boiled meat pieces were delicious on earth, not to mention that Zhushoutang was a soup mixed with people's good wishes and blessings to their elders, and it was normal to drink well.
When peeling the beans, I didn't notice the passage of time, but felt that it was extraordinarily long, and had the same effect as the physics class in high school.
Jiang Feng went to glance at the ladle in the pot and said, "Ji Xue, Kiki, don't peel it, the ladle is almost ready. Let's eat the ladle before we peel it."
"Okay." Wu Minqi got up and walked to Jiang Feng to help him strip the lame.
"Go out and tell them." Ji Xue put all the freshly peeled beans into a large bowl, cleaned up the domestic garbage they just made, returned everything to their original position, got up, walked out, and then went out to the kitchen to tell everyone to prepare. Zongzi.
Jiang Feng drew a ladle from the pot with a rope, and still did not forget to instruct Wu Minqi: "Qiqi, wait for it to cool down before peeling it, it's too hot now, hissing."
Jiang Feng accidentally bumped into Ye Ye and was retracted by the heat.
"Okay." Wu Minqi smiled.
Her boyfriend is so cute.
