Fried rice cakes.

Its production process is: cook sticky rice or glutinous rice and dry it in the sun, then mix it with sand and heat and stir-fry it in an iron pot. Some use vegetable oil to fry it, which is called fried rice.

Then fry the Sichuan sugar into a slurry, put the fried rice, peanuts, sesame seeds and other ingredients into the syrup, stir well, scoop it up, put it in a wooden frame made of boards, lay it flat and compact it, and cut it into rectangular pieces with a knife.

Fried rice cakes taste sweet and crisp, and are loved by both adults and children.

Making fried rice cakes is very technical. Not only the ingredients must be in proportion, but also the "heat" should be paid attention to when frying. If it is not done well, it will not form into lumps, and it will become loose rice that will not be eaten.

Generally speaking, a bucket of rice should be paired with 2.5 pounds of Sichuan sugar. You can only have more, but not less. Pay special attention to the "heat".

Experienced people put a bowl of water on the stove. When the Sichuan sugar is fried to a certain point, it will begin to slurry. Use bamboo chopsticks to drop a little syrup into the water. If it becomes "pine nut spots", immediately extinguish the flame at the bottom of the pot and put it out.

Put the fried rice into the pot and stir constantly. Try it with your hands. If it is very sticky, take it out of the pot, pour the fried rice into the wooden frame, spread it out and compact it until it solidifies, then cut it into small pieces with a knife.

Oil fruit.

Also known as "fried fried dumpling".

The preparation of oil fruit is relatively simple. First, grind the glutinous rice into powder, and add 2.5 kilograms of Sichuan sugar for each bucket of glutinous rice.

Boil the sugar into syrup and knead it evenly with the glutinous rice flour. The longer you knead, the softer it becomes. After kneading into a dough, knead it into dough balls the size of ping pong balls. Stick white sesame seeds on the surface and put them into a pan for frying.

, fry until deep red and serve.

During the Chinese New Year, the fried fruits are steamed until soft and used as an accompaniment to wine. This is an indispensable food for every meal during the New Year.

Grind the sticky rice into rice milk, add soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts and other ingredients. Pour the rice milk into an iron spoon and put it into the oil pan to fry until it is deep red and then serve.

Fried rice noodles taste crispy and are suitable for all ages. It is also one of the foods to entertain guests during the New Year.

Sesame crisp, peanut crisp.

The production method is similar to fried rice. Use sesame and peanut kernels as raw materials, fry Sichuan sugar into a paste, stir it with the fried sesame seeds and peanut kernels, pour it into a tin basin, flatten it and compact it, and cut it into small cubes.

Sesame crisps and peanut crisps are also indispensable foods during the Chinese New Year.

The above several annual ingredients are necessary for every household, and they are all processed and made by themselves.

In addition, citrus, melon seeds, biscuits, and candies are also indispensable. Most of these annual ingredients have to be purchased at the market, and the quantities are not large. They are mainly used to entertain guests.

The above-mentioned annual materials are usually basically prepared before the "Enter the New Year" (the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month).

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month is the defining date for entering the new year, which means that after the 25th day of the twelfth month, the Chinese New Year begins.

People who go out to work and do business have to rush back.

The days from the 25th to the 30th of the twelfth lunar month are the most stressful. Men, women, old and young are all busy and nervous. They mainly carry out the following post-new year preparations: cleaning the house.

Cleaning the house after entering the new year is extraordinary. It is really a three-dimensional general cleaning, and the whole family does it.

After a thorough cleaning, the indoor and outdoor windows are clear and clean, and people feel extremely comfortable, showing a scene of dusting off the old and replacing the old with the new.

Grind tofu, dry fish, kill pigs, chickens, ducks, etc.

Around the 278th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household starts grinding tofu.

Most farmers have small fish holes at their doorsteps. Around the 278th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the fish are released into the water to catch fish. On the one hand, the fish are used to make dishes, and on the other hand, it is convenient to dig the holes to make fertilizer for the fields after the Spring Festival.

At the same time, pigs began to be killed one after another.

Most people use thirty or forty kilograms of pork during the Chinese New Year. Some families kill a big pig during the Chinese New Year. The main purposes are: 1. Gifts to relatives and friends. Each relative should give two to three kilograms of pork as a gift, especially to the father-in-law.

More meat will be given as gifts from relatives, and the number of pork gifts from newly married relatives will be even more considerable, otherwise they will be ridiculed as "lonely ghosts".

The whole family is busy until December 30th. All the new year's goods and materials are ready. The whole family is happy, especially the children. They are eating well, wearing well, and not being scolded or scolded by adults.

People who go out to do business or work have to rush home for the "Reunion Dinner" on New Year's Eve at the latest.

This day was also the busiest day. We worked tirelessly to do what everyone wanted to do, but everyone was happy and cheerful.

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is also called New Year’s Eve. Things you must do on this day are: take a pomelo leaf bath.

In the morning, pomelo leaves are picked. After noon, every household puts the pomelo leaves into a pot of water and boils them. Everyone takes a hot pomelo leaf bath, which is meant to wash away the dirt, "poor energy" and "debilitating energy" and dry them out.

Enter the new year cleanly.

After taking a pomelo leaf bath, you put on new clothes, new hats, new socks, and new shoes, making you look brand new from head to toe. The dirty clothes you changed must be washed on the same day.

Therefore, taking a pomelo leaf bath means removing the old and bringing in the new.

This custom has faded year by year.

The items are placed on the table.

The whole family, old and young, gathered in front of the statue of the Kitchen God to salute, and devoutly sent the Kitchen God back to heaven to report on his duties. They prayed that the Kitchen God would bless and eliminate disasters with his kind words in front of the Jade Emperor, so that in the coming year he would have a prosperous fortune and a safe family.

When people worship, most people only pray a few auspicious words to the Kitchen God, such as "bless and eliminate disasters, and protect the family's safety."
