Chapter 590 On the authentic Laba Festival in the capital, Master Lu is going to shoot a martial arts film?
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the capital, in addition to eating Laba porridge in the morning, we also need to make Laba garlic on this day.
According to the experts who are the second most important at home, Professor Zhu’s suggestion, purple-skinned garlic is the first choice.
He said that this garlic clove is full and spicy.
Therefore, according to Professor Zhu's instructions, a few days ago, my elder sister went to the vegetable market to select purple garlic with smooth skin and firm garlic cloves.
Used as a ingredient for pickling Laba garlic.
After calling, Fang Yan came out of the study. When he came to the kitchen, he saw his eldest sister, wife and sister-in-law, who were gently peeling off the garlic skin, leaving only the white garlic cloves, and then put them clean one by one. in a glass bottle.
Rice vinegar is another key here. Ordinary rice vinegar has been carefully selected to lay the foundation for the unique flavor of Laba garlic. Slowly pour rice vinegar into the glass bottle containing garlic cloves to ensure that each garlic clove is immersed in vinegar liquid. After the mouth was carefully sealed, the glass bottle was placed in a corner.
As time goes by, under the influence of low temperature, the garlic cloves gradually undergo wonderful changes, slowly turning from white to light green, and eventually turning into a whole body of turquoise green, as attractive as jade.
The old saying goes: Laba Festival is the New Year.
When it comes to eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Laba garlic and Laba vinegar come in handy.
At that time, the whole family sat together to make dumplings. After the dumplings were cooked, they would take them out and put them in a bowl, pick up a dumpling, dip them in Laba vinegar, and then take a bite of green Laba garlic, which was sour and sour. The taste instantly spreads in the mouth, not only neutralizing the greasiness of the dumplings, but also adding a unique flavor.
Laba garlic is often used in the folk to regulate some mild diseases, and it has a certain effect of appetizing and digesting food. For people with poor digestive function of the spleen and stomach and have a loss of appetite, eating Laba garlic in moderation can stimulate appetite and help digestion.
This is consistent with the concept of traditional Chinese medicine to promote digestion by regulating the function of the spleen and stomach.
After Laba Festival, we should make various preparations to welcome the New Year. Next, people will take advantage of their leisure time to go to the market or shop to purchase New Year’s goods.
For adults and children, candy, melon seeds and peanuts are essential, as well as the word "Fu" and "door god" and a portrait of a teacher with a red background. These are all procurement goals.
A group of people in the kitchen were discussing this while making Laba garlic.
I have already selected the New Year this year, and I will spend it in this large courtyard at Fangyan’s home.
It is crowded and lively, and the place is spacious, with water, electricity and gas, which is much more convenient than other places. After the New Year, everyone will go to college, and then it will be deserted.
If you want to get lively again, you can only wait for the family gathering every weekend.
Fang Yan said to the people at home:
"By the way, the school will come to deliver the notice in a few days. Then there will be a ceremony and an interview and take photos. I will tell you first, and there will be preparations at that time."
The eldest sister smiled and said:
"Look, what I said before? The top scorer in the college entrance examination will definitely not be silent. The school is so close to you, so you will definitely do it in a big way."
Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan:
"Did you just called the school to ask?"
Fangyan nodded:
"Well, I originally wanted to ask when the notice will be sent, but they directly notified me to hold a ceremony in a few days. I didn't want to do it, but since they all said it, I would like to promote it for the school and help Traditional Chinese medicine has been promoted. ”
Zhu Lin nodded and asked again:
"By the way, didn't you say that a lot of people came to see you for treatment at noon today? Why are you back now?"
Fang Yan explained to his wife:
"Not many people came, I came back after seeing the disease."
Speaking of this, he remembered something again, so he immediately added:
"By the way, there is also a great writer among the people who came to see the doctor today, who is very famous. If Fang Chen is interested, he can take him to visit the old man at that time."
The elder sister beside her asked curiously:
"Who?"
"Contradictory." Fang Yan responded.
Hearing this name, the eldest sister was stunned, and the sister-in-law beside her asked:
"That's the one who wrote a lot of novels?"
"Well, it's him." Fang Yan nodded.
Only then did the elder sister react and exclaimed:
"Oh, that's really a great writer."
The other two nodded one after another. This person is old now and is far less active than he did in previous years.
However, the influence is still quite large in the literary world, and many people will mention him or his works.
At this time, Zhu Lin asked curiously:
"By the way, what disease does he have?"
Fang Yan didn't say that the lungs had already flowed into pus, so as not to scare the family. He said lightly:
"The resistance of people getting old is a little weaker. After winter, I caught a cold, which caused lung disease. Western medicine did not cure it. Then the people from the Writers Association visited him and took my composition to the old man. Then he recommended him to see me. .”
Sure enough, he heard Fang Yan speak very easily, so everyone stopped paying attention to the condition. Instead, Zhu Lin asked Fang Yan curiously:
"Then has he evaluated your college entrance examination essay?"
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"I have evaluated it. The old man said he wanted to see me for a doctor. The purpose is to see people who write so well in the article. Is Chinese medicine also very good?"
Zhu Lin heard that this great writer praised her husband so much, and immediately smiled and said:
"Then these words are praising you for writing well!"
Fang Yan smiled and shook her head:
"It might be that they are polite to me. After all, they came to see me for treatment. No matter how you say it, you have to say a few good things, right?" Fang Yan said this directly to his wife and Zhu Lin said happily:
"Haha, do you think that great writers are specializing in giving good comments to see a doctor?"
Sister-in-law Zhu Xian also said happily:
"That's right, brother-in-law... you're so funny. You can tell from the articles written by the old man. He is definitely not that kind of person."
Even the eldest sister nodded in agreement, thinking that the dialect was too irritating.
Fang Yan was also helpless, he said that the old man was polite.
But then again, Fang Yan remembers that the old man said at that time that his full score essays would be published in the magazine "People's Literature". I don't know when it was exactly.
Fang Yan planned to go to the rounds after dinner and ask the old man for inquiries.
After getting Laba garlic here, I started making lunch.
I will definitely stop eating Laba porridge in the morning at noon. Of course, some families eat it all day, but Fangyan’s family is exceptional. The family members finally get together, so of course Fangyan still has to cook for everyone.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
As a result, when the dialect was cooking, someone came to knock on the door outside.
After my family opened it, they found out that it was the dean, and today they came to give it to Laba noodles.
This Laba noodles is relatively rare. In the past, some places in the capital, especially those who did not grow rice or lack rice at home, would choose to eat Laba noodles.
The wife of the dean's family grew up in the rural areas around the capital, and this habit has been maintained until now.
Today, a large pot of noodles and a large pot of sauce was sent by the dean’s house.
The sauce is made of diced carrots, white radish, cabbage, bean sprouts, tofu, etc., and then the diced meat prepared in advance, put it in a pot and stir-fry it. This is how to make a pot of noodles sauce.
Don’t worry about the taste, this was sent by the dean’s home.
You have to keep it in check anyway.
Not only have to accept it, but also have to return the gift.
It just so happened that Fangyan made a lot of dishes in the kitchen, and Fangyan directly used the lunch box at home to pack several dishes at the dean's house.
This is the completion of the exchange etiquette.
There are customs of neighbors here to give each other Laba porridge to connect with each other and enhance neighborhood friendship. Fangyan immediately thought that someone would come later.
So after seeing off the dean and his wife off, they immediately prepared more vegetables in the kitchen. As expected, Director Hu and his wife from Union Gynecology also came. They delivered Laba porridge with their hometown specialty, which contained mushrooms and water chestnuts. , walnut kernels, pine nuts, water chestnuts, red dates, chestnuts, fungus, green vegetables, enoki mushrooms and other ingredients, it is the first time I have seen dialect.
Then Director Feng of the street office was no exception and also delivered Laba porridge.
Fortunately, the dialect prepared a lot of dishes, so they finished the holiday gifts with them.
Then Fang Yan thought of the two big financial owners in the hospital. Although the hospital would definitely prepare their holiday meals, Fang Yan also had to express his feelings. People have given so many things, so those who celebrate the festival must not forget them.
So he called his wife, and the couple took the dishes prepared at home to the hospital to deliver them to the Zhou and Hu families.
If it weren't for considering that Mr. Shen is not suitable for eating these things at the moment, Fang Yan would even want to give him some.
After delivering it, Fang Yan returned home with his wife, and then the whole family started lunch.
Originally, it was just a meal made in dialect, but the three families came to deliver things. Now the lunch on Laba Festival has become a hodgepodge.
But the taste is actually pretty good.
After lunch, Fangyan and the others heard a lot of firecrackers outside.
It’s not the kind that was going closer and closer before, it’s just that it’s going back and forth in all directions.
When I went out, I found out that some families who received the notice were setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
There are at least five or six firecrackers, and there are many slums around. From this we can also calculate that the admission rate is really a bit low.
Of course, the notices from each university are not sent at the same time, so it may also be like dialects, which have not been issued yet.
A little later, Master Lu Donghua called Fang Yan and told him that Xu Feng was in much better condition last time.
At present, we can clearly express our meaning, which means that the dialect judgment is very accurate.
In addition, Master Lu Donghua also told me something a little explosive.
According to him, early this morning, the director of Beijing Film Studio came to his house and said he was invited to shoot a movie, be a martial arts director and also play guest roles.
This was the first time Fang Yan heard this, so he asked Master what kind of movie it was.
The old man said that the movie was called "The Mysterious Buddha" and the director was called Zhang Huaxun. It is also said that he was going to go to Leshan, Sichuan to film. The person who recommended Mr. Lu was also Chen Huaikai, the father of the old acquaintance director Chen Da.
