The biological clock has been formed. Even though I made dumplings and stayed up for most of the night, Zhen Zhen still opened her eyes as usual at 5:30 in the morning. She did not rush to get up. The New Year in the Northeast will last for half a month, and it will not be officially over until the Lantern Festival is over. Today, the first day of the New Year, all households have started to visit relatives, and there are still not many customers in the store.

She and the treasure house really have no relatives to leave. The original owner's uncle and aunt were thousands of kilometers away. She had already sent New Year's goods to her before the New Year. As for Aunt Zhen, she was not a masochist. She was full during the New Year and was sent to her door to find anger. She wanted to get up, and Zhen Zhen lay back peacefully.

The sky outside the curtain was brighter because the snow light reflected was brighter than when it was not snowing. On the left and right, the sound of the child and the kitten sleeping sound came from the left and right. The kitten was clustered into a ball and pressed against the side of her neck, and the cool nose was pressed against the skin on her neck. The child was not honest when sleeping, and turned 180 degrees, with his head down and his feet almost kicked her in the face.

Lifting his hand and pinched the cushion on the kitten's paws that were the same as the calves of the child's lotus root node. Zhen Zhen felt satisfied. On the first day of the New Year, there were fat meats for cats and children to pinch. The hard work for the next year is worth it.

She had a quarter of her life. Boss Zhen, who was working hard, had many things to do. She sat up and stretched, got out of bed and took out the new clothes prepared for the treasure house from the cabinet and placed them on the bedside. When the child woke up, she could change it for him. She also wore a new sweater she exchanged for with shopping coupons. The light pink sweater had a light blue doll cat pattern. Although she grew up one year old during the Chinese New Year, she could not lose her childlike heart.

Going downstairs, Zhen Zhen habitually opened the lock and checked Gudu’s masterpiece in the middle of the night. Hey? The new year and new atmosphere, Gudu actually transformed into two types of aquatic creatures. In addition to the three abalones adsorbed on the wall of the water tank, there were three heavy snow crabs with teeth and claws in the water.

Has the little guy been upgraded again? Or have you had a meal for yourself during the New Year?

Zhen Zhen has seen the snow crab in the water in the seafood market. This is a gray-eyed snow crab. It is distributed in the Northeast and the Russian Far East. Local crab sellers call it the North Korean long-legged crab. The long-legged crab is big and has delicious crab meat. Now it has a good taste again. It is indeed good luck in the New Year.

Crabs can be waited before cooking. Zhen Zhen wakes up early to make another type of food, cakes.

Is it the New Year? How come there are no cakes? If you don’t visit relatives, you have to make some delicious snacks to entertain your neighbors, friends and familiar customers.

As a native of Peking, Zhen Zhen knows Beijing-style pastries very well.

The old Beiping Bread Shop can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty. When the Yuan Dynasty first established its capital, it was not time to set up an imperial kitchen. The palace ordered butter buns from the people to worship ancestors. The butter smelled strong, and the buns had a rough style of grassland. After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, Beijing-style dim sum absorbed the exquisiteness of Jiangnan dim sum, and there were many types, forming a large eight pieces and medium and small eight pieces that were distinguished by head rows, broken skins and pastry. When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the special dim sum of Manchu also joined the Beijing-style dim sum family.

Back in the Qing Dynasty, Zhen Zhen wanted to make some Manchu snacks, including pretzel silver ingot cakes, jujube paste cakes, and red bean double wedding cakes, and also wanted to make some Manchu snacks, sacchima, letets, and small fried foods.

I don’t plan to make too much, the filling was prepared after the New Year’s Eve dinner yesterday. I made molds and eight large snacks first.

It is best to use aged lard to make eight major desserts. The more you get aged lard, the more fragrant the baked desserts are, the more fishy the lard is. Zhen Zhen does not have aged lard. When boiling lard, he specially added a seasoning to remove the fishy smell, and the filling is also finely made. The dry ingredients of pretzels are fried and then mixed, and the jujube paste and red bean paste are grinded delicately. Milk is also added when mixing.

Zhen Zhen skillfully added fillings to the pancake crust, put them in a mold to shape it, and finally found a small chapter of the character Zhen and pressed it on the pancake crust.

Put a small amount of charcoal fire under the converter. After sitting on a special small baking pot, put a small amount of charcoal fire on the baking pot. The two layers of charcoal fire are not too much and the crusts will be smoother.

The pastries were slowly baking. Zhen Zhen opened the door of the house. The snow had stopped. The first ray of sunshine of the New Year shone on the white snow, reflecting a golden light.

The snow on the ground was not as thick as it was. Uncle Liu's family, and Lao Feng, who was on duty at the police station last night, had already come out to sweep the snow. They said good New Year to each other. Zhen Zhen went home to get a square shovel and joined the snow sweeping team. As time goes by, he will go home after a while, take out the baked snacks and put in the new cake.

After cleaning the snow in Xinghua Lane, some of the eight major desserts were already baked. Zhen Zhen took some of each of the three desserts and gave them to Uncle Liu and Lao Feng to try.

In the 1990s, people had just escaped from scarcity. Both young and old liked old and old, and there was a famous Qiulin Food Store in the provincial capital. Old pastries such as Changyuan cakes and jars are very popular.

Old Feng showed his wealth-loving eyes, "I ate this silver ingot-like cake on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Can I make a fortune this year?" He quickly picked up one and ate it. The freshly baked snack had a crispy crust, the filling was salty and fragrant, and it took energy to sweep the snow. It would make you hungry and stick to your back. A silver ingot pretzel was full and delicious.

"I will definitely make a fortune." Old Feng was so beautiful. "Zhen Zhen, I'm not polite to you. I'll take these pieces away. I'll go back for my wife and children to taste them."

Old Feng was busy going back to hand over the class. Uncle Liu's family ate Zhen Zhen's cake and gave Hongfeng a piece of jujube paste. He would be the first in the next semester exam. The couple and their daughter had a double wedding cake to get a good start. There were many happy events at home tomorrow.

As he was talking, Zhen Zhen heard the glass on the second floor behind him being slapped. When he looked back, he saw that the treasure house's fat face was pressed against the window glass on the second floor, and squeezed into a big round cake.

I was excited during the Chinese New Year, and the child actually woke up in advance. Zhen Zhen hurried home.

"Sister, happy New Year." The treasure house fell asleep before Jiaozi had just waited for the best New Year. Finally, I said this sentence that I had been holding on for a night.

Seeing the child's hands clumping, Gudu also straightened up, arched his hair claws, and made a gesture of congratulations on his fortune.

Zhen Zhen replied with a smile: "Treasure Kiu and Gudu are also happy to celebrate the New Year."

Ask for the time being, put on new clothes, a small yellow velvet jacket with velvet cloth of the same color, and a yellow sweater with a duck-patterned pattern. The whole dress is yellow. The little hero must be the same color as the egg yolk.

Even the kitten has a small pale yellow bow tie.

I ate too much meat yesterday. I ate some light stuff on the first day of the lunar month, and I cooked some light stuffed with pretzels with eight treasure pickles. I ate one firewood and then a piece of date paste cake. The treasure house was full. I stretched out my index finger and twisted up the cake dregs that fell on the table and ate them. I was very satisfied with the breakfast, "The treasure house loves to eat the cake dregs."

Children love to name everything they know.

Zhen Zhen smiled and asked her brother to go to the kitchen with her, "Go to have fun with her sister."

"Oh." As soon as I heard something interesting, the treasure house immediately slipped out of the elm chair in the restaurant.

The child who was relocated on a high chair learned to make small fried food from the Manchu sacrificial hall with his sister. This is a high-end dessert made by hand, with cream and dough. The process is complicated. Before frying, you must first pinch the dough in your hand into various thumb-sized utensils.

Zhen Zhen pinched the same, and recognized the same treasure house. He pinched the small and exquisite pasta with two fingers, and the child almost looked at it, "This is a waist drum."

"It is not the Korean waist drum, it is a kind of flower drum commonly used for sacrifices by our Manchu ancestors."

"This is a steamed bun."

"Yes, it's a steamed bun. Look at this, it's a snail shell. Is it the same as the conch on our cabinet? This is called a paicha. These pasta are the foods used by us Manchu people when we were sacrificing the temple before, and each of them represents a different meaning.

"What is the sacrificial hall?"

"The sacrifice hall is like a sister burning incense and adding rice to the kitchen god, which means offering sacrifices to ancestors,..."

Don’t forget your ancestors and be kind. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the warm and milky kitchen, the treasure house vaguely understood where he came from by sacrificing food.

After all the snacks were prepared, most of the morning was about to pass, and the first person to come to pay New Year's greetings came to my house, Officer Chen.

The treasure house held a chopstick-sized Leth strip and ran out to greet him, "Happy New Year Uncle Black Cat Sheriff, I'll treat you to chopstick biscuits."

Chen Xingyao has a wide range of knowledge and recognized the chopsticks and biscuits raised by the treasure house as Lutt. He was only a little surprised and soon realized that how could a girl who knows the singing style of the singer not know Luttt?

I took a bite with the treasure house's little hand, and well, porcelain is indeed a must-have food for ancestors to hunt.

Zhen Zhen came out of the kitchen with a snack box and saw Officer Chen’s brand new brown sheepskin jacket, which was very low-key and luxurious, and said in a narrow voice: “I won’t wish you a fortune, I wish you all the best.”

Chen Xingyao looked at the Zhen siblings, the dormant cat and the little white duck standing side by side, and smiled, "The room is filled with milk smell, has the New Year turned the home into a kindergarten?"

When Zhen Zhen saw that Chen Xingyao was coming, she also brought a lot of valuable gifts. Not to mention anything else, the rolled piece of gum has been around for at least forty years. If she didn't admit it, it should be the gum of the yellow lip croaker, the king of fish glue.

In the eyes of diners who know the goods, the fish glue of the yellow-lipped croaker is a priceless treasure and is a food that is hard to come by. Why do you give it to her? "The gift is light and the affection is heavy, I won't talk about the other ones. Take the fish glue back." Zhen Zhen said.

"Why are you still excited to give gifts during the New Year? Even though you are still collecting them, my third uncle, the Water Resources Department and the Maritime Bureau are related units, and there are many opportunities to buy garlic. Now this thing is not obvious and the price is not that expensive. I will not give you garlic for free. I am here to exchange for smoked mackerel. The one you gave me was eaten by our whole family in one meal, and they didn't eat enough." Chen Xingyao said embarrassedly.

She gave her eight kilograms and ate them all in one meal. The Chen family's appetite was really good. "I have ten kilograms left. I'll take them for you." Zhen Zhen was amused.

"I have to change something," Chen Xingyao picked up the treasure house, "and my family asked me to take the treasure house back for a long time."

Zhen Zhen paused slightly, "It's not suitable for the New Year, right?" Although he had a good relationship with Chen Xingyao and Uncle Chen, the treasure house was not related to them, so it was not good to come to the door during the New Year.

"Where are so many rules? My dad mentioned the treasure house yesterday. Our family is curious and wants to meet the children. If they didn't want you to get hurt on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they would all come here."

"...Your family is very curious." Zhen Zhen was speechless.

He said so, and Zhen Zhen asked his younger brother, "Does the treasure house want to go to Mr. Chen's house to play?"

When the child heard that Mr. Chen was present, he immediately nodded, "Yeah, yeah, the treasure house misses Mr. Chen."

I thought about it after only a few days of meeting you, are you two grandparents and grandchildren who were separated in the previous life? Zhen Zhen brought his younger brother a cotton jacket and hat and told him: "If you go, you have to say hello. If you want to come back, you will tell Mr. Chen that we can't ask for money from others."

The child nodded obediently, "No."

He had to bring gifts to the door. Zhen Zhen packed up the smoked mackerel and put two boxes of snacks. The treasure house asked to take the painting of God of Wealth that my sister had drawn yesterday and gave it to Mr. Chen.

How old is he? He actually learned to deliver image posters. Although Zhen Zhen was amused, she rolled up the painting at the request of the child and tied it with a red rope and handed it to him.

"Don't worry, it's not too far away, there is no one on the street. I'll wear a seat belt for him and drive back at the lowest speed. If he wants to come back, I'll send someone back immediately." Chen Xingyao carried the snacks and went out with the treasure house.

After Zhen Zhen told the child, she did not forget to remind the adults, "You can play, don't give red envelopes." The Chen family took advantage of the situation. If the child does not come to the door, she might as well not accept it if she doesn't go back.

Chen Xingyao just smiled and said nothing.

After the child left, Zhen Zhen was not idle either. He steamed a lot of fish cakes and squeezed a lot of fish balls. There was a temple fair in front of the gate of the Imperial Temple. Zhen Zhen asked Director Song to say hello, rented a stall, and prepared to go to the temple fair to make money in the third year of junior high school.

Before dark, the treasure house was sent back. Chen Xingyao was busy going to work at the unit without stopping. The treasure house, who was leaving the door, excitedly gestured with his sister, talking about the Chen family.

"There are Uncle Simida, Aunt, Uncle, Brother and Sister, I'm having chocolate." After saying that, his little hand flexibly unzipped the jacket pocket and took out a roll of 100 yuan bill, "Give it!"

After counting it for 800 yuan, Zhen Zhen asked his younger brother, "Aren't you not allowed to ask for red envelopes?"

"I will win if I play mahjong." The treasure house has big eyes, "I am awesome and I will win money."

Zhen Zhen: Look, I can tell you that I will be there at the age of four.

Money is indeed won by the treasure house, and time goes back a few hours ago.

After the Chen family finished breakfast on the first day of the first day of the year, the third child Chen Biao greeted the second child’s wife, “Can you do it?”

“Must do it.”

The others immediately took action, moved the table and looked for mahjong plaques, and had already opened the mahjong stall in less than a minute.

In the four-player mahjong game, Lao Chen is determined to go to the game. Another place is in fierce competition, and the scissors and stones have begun to determine the winner and lose.

The reason why I am so enthusiastic is that this is the annual "Lao Chen's poverty alleviation time."

In addition to watching Korean dramas and Hong Kong movies, Lao Chen also likes to play mahjong. He doesn’t have time, and he will play every gambling game during the Chinese New Year. His card skills are bad, his hands are smelly, he will explode, and lose one-stop cards.

When Old Chen saw that his whole family treated him like a sucker, he immediately remembered his money-making partner. He hadn't seen him for several days and was so surprised that he called his son, "You go to Xinghua Lane to visit the door. If they don't go out to pay New Year's greetings, can you pick up the treasure house and play for a day?"

Others also urged him, and the children who Lao Chen was talking about were also curious and wanted to see the real person.

Chen Xingyao did not object and brought the child back in less than half an hour.

The child rolled into the door like a big yellow duck pear. He got used to seeing strangers in the big fishing fish. He didn't recognize his life if there were too many Chen family members. He rushed into Old Chen's arms like a little firecracker, "Mr. Simida, I miss you very much."

Old Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Chen can miss you too."

Struggling out from Mr. Chen's arms, the child remembered that he had not yet greeted New Year, and his hands were walking around in place, but everyone was not left behind. "Happy New Year, congratulations on getting rich."

The whole family was conquered by the cuteness of the little fat child, and even Chen Xingyao's mother, who had been sobering all year round, her face calmed down.

"Oh my god, no wonder my elder brother said he had a child like the treasure house. Look at the little girl, if I had such a grandson, I would wake up in my dreams." Chen Xingyao second aunt glared at his eldest son, "Go and find me an Alaska. People say that the further you go, the smarter you will be."

Chen Xingchen was careless, "No wonder you always say I'm stupid. You two are three roads and the other are five roads. It turns out that I'm not doing well."
