Chapter 112 Spring Festival Couplets Bao The next day, several people took the Spring Festival couplets to Fucheng early in the morning, and when they set off, the Zheng family who stayed at home also said: "If you can't sell it, take it back."
We can also use it ourselves, or give it to relatives and friends. ”Zheng didn't take what Luo Ran said to heart, because he couldn't make much money whether he sold it or not.Because a pair of eight or twelve texts, assuming that the two quantities are the same, according to the average ten texts, the cost includes pen, ink and paper, artificial entry fees, etc., fifty pairs of Spring Festival couplets are only 500 texts, 500 pairs are only 5,000 texts, and five taels of silver.So unless there is a large market and it sells quickly, it will be profitable.Now Luo Ran is a little bit of a fight, making a little money.When you officially use money in the spring, you can't always eat the old book.With the experience of the last sales, I found a booth and paid the apportionment.After a while, Luo Wensheng began to recite the Spring Festival couplets loudly.It's like studying: Sanyang opens Thailand on the day, and enjoys the whole year for all generations.Horizontal batch: Fu Xi Yingmen is happy to live in the treasure land for thousands of years, and Fu Zhao is prosperous at home.Horizontal batch: All the best, firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and fireworks fly to welcome the New Year.Horizontal criticism: Farewell to the old and welcome the new, smooth sailing, good every year, all the best.Horizontal batch: Welcoming the Spring Festival and receiving blessings heard the sound of carrying the Spring Festival couplets, and gradually people surrounded them."
Children, how are you selling Spring Festival couplets?"
asked a middle-aged man carrying a basket."
Here's a piece of eight cents, and here it's a piece of twelve cents.""
Hey, this Spring Festival couplet is not expensive, it is cheaper than other people's.Bring me a picture of 12 texts, I want more words.Just now, the little doll read the one who said goodbye to the old year and welcomed the new year. ”What you said was "Firecrackers say goodbye to the old year, and fireworks fly to welcome the new year."
Horizontal criticism: Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, "is this one", yes, this is it. ”As he spoke, he took out the money."
The Spring Festival couplets have been rolled, you can take them." ”Later, many people came to buy it one after another, and more than 50 pairs of Spring Festival couplets were sold out in an hour.Luo Ran thought that maybe writing Spring Festival couplets would be able to earn next year's grain.In the next few days, Luo Ran and the others have been selling Spring Festival couplets, and soon they will reach the new year.Someone saw Luo Ran setting up a stall, and there were a few more stalls selling Spring Festival couplets nearby the next day.The quality is better, it looks more exquisite, and the price is higher than Luo Ran's, fifteen pieces of Wen.Although some customers have been divided, most of the people from nearby villages and counties who come to buy New Year's goods are still willing to buy cheap ones.In a few days, Luo Ran had earned nearly eighteen taels of silver, including the cost.The biggest credit for these silvers is Luo Wenxuan, as long as he has free time these days, Luo Wenxuan is writing the Spring Festival couplets.After the new year, more couplets were sold, and if you continue to set up stalls, you won't be able to make much.So, I didn't go any further.After the New Year, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Luo Ran's family began to be completely busy.Dumplings are the main food of the northern part of the country on weekdays and festivals.Every Chinese New Year, there will be a large amount of dumplings, which can be eaten for several months.Dumplings are made with sticky rice.There are bean flour dumplings, Su leaf dumplings and sticky cake dumplings.Bean flour dumplings are made by grinding large yellow rice and small yellow rice into fine noodles and then adding them to the bean noodles and steaming them.This kind of dumpling is golden in color, sticky, and delicious.Su Ye Dumpling is mixed with sticky sorghum noodles and bean paste of adzuki beans, and steamed with Su leaves wrapped on the outside, which has a special aroma of Su Ye and has a unique flavor.Sticky cake dumplings are made by soaking large yellow rice and grinding them into noodles, and steaming them with some bean paste in the middle of the yellow rice noodles.This kind of dumpling can be fried in oil or dipped in sugar, which is both fragrant and sweet.It is the ordinary people of Luojiazhuang, who have wrapped dumplings, starting from the month of Layue, and have been able to eat for three to four months, and almost every household eats dumplings every day.Don't underestimate this gluttony, this is an important ration for rural people, and they will generally eat it from now until the beginning of spring next year.Some people start to pack dumplings from the beginning of winter or the first snow, and some people like Luo Ran's family when the New Year is about to be wrapped.Luo Ran's family of five, from now on, if you want to eat until the beginning of spring, it will be almost the same if you wrap sixty catties of dumplings.It's a big job.Since the beginning of the lunar month, Zheng began to pick a lot of beans while he was idle, that is, put a large basket on the kang, spread out the small beans, and pick out the impurities such as sand, soil and deflated grains, and the remaining one is one, and the small beans with full particles are used to cook bean paste.A few days ago, Luo Youli had already ground the big yellow rice noodles, small yellow rice noodles and millet rice noodles for making dumplings, and he was waiting for the dumplings in the next few days.On the evening of the twenty-third day, Luo Youli and Zheng used a large vat to reconcile the yellow rice noodles and put them on the kang hair.The dough is mainly made of rhubarb rice noodles.But if you use all the rhubarb rice noodles, the noodles will be too sticky, and the wrapped noodles will stick to people's mouths.Therefore, in the large yellow rice noodles, add the appropriate proportion of small yellow rice noodles.If some families have a large population, they don't have so much big yellow rice and small yellow rice, and they have to add some millet noodles.When the Luo family was not separated, it was mixed with millet noodles.In order to make delicious dumplings with moderate viscosity, the proportion of each noodle must be mastered.Although Luo Ran's family was in a better situation this time, they also mixed a small amount of millet noodles.As for the proportion of each face, Luo Youli and Zheng determined it.In the second half of the night of the twenty-fourth, before dawn, Zheng boiled the bean paste.The original clump of noodles has increased in size as if it had been inflated.This is the dough fermented, so it should be ready to wrap after breakfast.When the bean paste was ripe, the sky also dawned.After breakfast, the big guy was busy preparing the curtain drawer and cutting the reed leaves.Generally, the inner layer of corn skin is used for dumpling, which is the time of autumn harvest, and the inner layer of white skin selected by each family to wrap corn cobs is dried and stored.This corn tender husk will be used to hold the sticky bean bun when the time comes, so as not to stick to the curtain drawer.Luo Ran's family doesn't have this now, so they use sun-dried reed leaves.This was the last time I picked it by the river.Cut off the ends of the reed leaves, wash them in warm water, and soak until soft.The pieces are neatly stacked and placed on the curtain drawer, which is used to hold the sticky bean buns, so as not to stick to the curtain drawers.You can also use other leaves, such as the leaves of large fruit trees, each leaf has its different fragrance, and the crops are convenient to choose, which is common and convenient to use.When the bean paste was cooked, the yellow rice noodles had already been lifted up the lid of the jar, and the family put two tables on the kang, and everyone sat down and began to make dumplings.I'm going to wrap a drawer and steam a drawer.started to pack dumplings, Luo Ran hadn't wrapped them before, so Zheng gave a demonstration.How big dough to wrap a dumpling, how much bean paste to fill, what shape to knead, and how to knead it to make it stronger without leaking the filling.To be continued.4209051:
