1. Corban Festival is the most solemn festival in my hometown. I most like to spend this solemn and grand festival at my uncle’s house in Yongning.
2. In the morning, we took a bus to my uncle’s house. As soon as we got off the car, I saw the spacious yard full of grandfathers and uncles wearing white hats. It turned out that they had made an appointment to go to the mosque to pray, so,
Dad took his elder brother and younger brother to go to the temple with them. There were only a lot of grandmas, aunts and us little girls left at home... 3. The kitchen is so lively!
Several aunties gathered around a big pot, and one of them saw one of them wrapping a long "noodle" around two long chopsticks and swinging it back and forth in the pot. After a while, the "noodle"
Miraculously, it turned into a handful of golden dumplings. It turned out that they were frying dumplings!
On the chopping board next to it, there are piles of pancakes like a hill!
Some of the grandmas beside the stove were chopping vegetables, some were frying fish, and my grandma was cooking chicken. I ran to my grandma and opened my mouth wide. Grandma immediately stuffed a large piece of chicken into my mouth.
smell good!
Hee hee, look how lucky I am!
4. After a long time, the people who went to the temple came back and started slaughtering the sheep!
Whose "sacrifice" it is, grabs the horns of the lamb, and the other person holds the leg of the lamb tightly. I saw the imam holding a knife and kept chanting. I hid behind my grandma and closed my eyes tightly.
It was tight... I don’t know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, all the sheep were skinned and hung neatly on the hooks one by one, still steaming.
Just when I was in a daze because of fear, a sister pulled me and ran outside to the yard to play with them. I quickly forgot about what had just happened!
5. It was finally time to eat. There were several tables of people sitting in each room. Looking at the biggest and most conspicuous dish on the table, I was shocked!
I have never seen such a large piece of mutton. No one used chopsticks. Everyone ate with their hands. I had to ask my father to help me tear off a piece and dip it in the garlic vinegar sauce in the bowl. After one bite, my mouth was full of water.
Oil, that smells amazing!
6. When we were full, my aunt and uncle asked us to give the wrapped fried cakes to every neighbor's house. When we came back, the neighbors also gave us fried cakes and a few pieces of meat in return.
7. Time flies so fast!
It was night in a blink of an eye, and we reluctantly got in the car to go home, ending this unforgettable day.
