1. Sun-dried bacon I remember that when we were young, almost every household had to sun-dried bacon in advance years ago. We bought dozens of kilograms of meat at one time, cut them into strips, strung them together on bamboo poles, exposed them to the sun for many days, and then put them in porcelain jars. When we want to eat them during the Spring Festival, we will take them out and cut them into pieces and stir-fry them with pepper, or make them into Artemisia argyi to fry bacon.

2. Before making tofu, almost every household had to make tofu. Soak the beans the first night, pick them and grind them the next day. The ground bean juice is filtered and separated from the liquid with gauze, and the liquid is poured into a pot to boil. You can drink sweet soybean milk with some sugar in a bowl. Solid fried bean dregs can be eaten as vegetables or fed to pigs. Pour the soybean milk into a special box for tofu, cover it with a cloth and then cover it with a lid, and you have to hold it with a heavy object. After waiting for a while, it was made into tofu, which was always amazing at that time.

3. There are many processes to make candy, which are complicated. After washing the wheat, pour it into the pot and add water to it. Take out the wheat after cooking, and continue to cook the remaining water until it is thick. I remember that at that time, my grandmother usually put out a bowl of malt water before it was particularly thick, beat an egg while it was hot, stir it evenly, and then give it to me. After the maltose is boiled, pour it into a big wooden basin, add sesame seeds, peanuts, etc., stir well, then cover it, press the heavy objects, take off the cover after a period of time, spread a layer of plastic film, then we will step on it, and then take it out and cut it into pieces with a knife. I remember one time, my dad even cut his hand. Sugar cubes are usually made from morning to night, so slicing is usually done at night under dim light.

4. Fried bean curd Fried bean curd is to cut fresh bean curd into small pieces, and then put it in a hot oil pan to fry it into fried bean curd. This fried bean curd is very particular. You have to choose a date, and you have to hide in the kitchen behind closed doors. When frying fried bean curd, it is very taboo that someone suddenly enters the kitchen. It is said that in that case, it will consume a lot of oil. We call it oil. Before cooking oil tofu, you will remember how much oil you have, and then you will see how much oil you have left, and then you will calculate how much oil you have consumed. You will also compare it with the oil consumption in previous years to see if it is more or less. When cooking oil tofu, we will fry a little glutinous rice cake, which is called "oil silk". Regarding frying tofu to fold oil, I always said to my grandmother inexplicably: "There is more oil and less oil, isn't it all in the oil tofu?" Didn't we eat them all in the end? It's not wasted.

"5. Go door to door to pay New Year's greetings. After breakfast, the children will run around the village in droves and go door to door to pay New Year's greetings. Say some auspicious words for New Year, and then you will get a lot of food and cigarettes. At that time, grandpa was particularly fond of drinking and smoking, so we were more willing to accept cigarettes, and then kept all the cigarettes we received until we went to grandma's house in the second day of junior high school to give them to grandpa.
