A 500-word essay on the Spring Festival in my hometown, Part 1. During the Spring Festival, one thing that remains fresh in my memory is making glutinous rice balls.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, our family began to prepare for the Spring Festival in full swing.

On New Year's Eve, when I got up, I saw my grandma frying something in the kitchen, so I went over and saw that she was frying peanuts, but I didn't know what she was doing, so I asked, "Grandma, what are you frying peanuts for?"

"I'm making stuffing for glutinous rice balls," grandma replied.

I thought to myself: How to make stuffing with peanuts?

Can that be delicious?

Grandma saw that I was dubious, and hurriedly added: "This is your parents' favorite food." After hearing this, I finally felt relieved, but I still felt uneasy.

After a while, after the peanuts were fried, grandma smashed them with a mixer, then added lard, shallots and sugar, stir-fried for a while, and the filling was ready.

Then roll the stuffing into a round ball. The skin is now ready and you can start wrapping it now.

Mom said: "Let me show you a demonstration first. First you take a handful of dough, then roll it into a round shape and make it high in the middle and low around. Then put the stuffing into the groove, and finally close it and it's ready."

"I followed my mother's instructions, first took a handful of dough, and then kneaded it into a ball.

Unexpectedly, when I saw that it had not been rolled into a round ball, it stuck to my hand. I asked, "Mom, why is this happening?" "Because you didn't get any dry powder!" Mom replied with a smile.

I grabbed a large handful of dry flour and immediately rubbed it on the dough, but I immediately found that there was too much dry flour and the dough was covered with a thick layer.

My mother said: "It would be better if you make it a little less." So she took away my semi-finished product and gave me a handful of new dough.

This time I had a better memory, but there was a small problem when sealing it at the end - the filling was exposed. I thought of a way to grab some dough and stick it on it to fill the hole, but the image was too ugly.

In the evening, the glutinous rice balls were cooked. When I tasted them, they were crunchy, sweet and very delicious.

It’s such a blessing to be able to taste this delicious food during the Spring Festival this year!

Around the winter solstice, people put chickens, ducks and geese in cages to reduce their activity, and feed them with plenty of food every day. By the time of the New Year, the poultry will grow big and fat.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the "Little Year".

On this day, people have to clean the stove and kill chickens and geese to sacrifice to the "Kitchen God".

In addition, everyone will also post "profit" on the door of the room, which is a small gift made by putting money in a red envelope.

And every house lights up all night, watching the indispensable Spring Festival Gala every year, waiting for the clock to strike at midnight, which is also known as staying up late on the New Year's Eve.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the climax of the Spring Festival.

On this day, people refrain from killing and say auspicious words to each other in the morning. Adults pay New Year greetings to their elders and give New Year's money to children.

Starting from the second day of the first lunar month, people visit relatives and friends, and as soon as they get up on the third day of the lunar month, they burn the paper firecrackers they set off previously.

"Ren Day", "Ren Sheng Festival" and "Qi Yuan Festival" all refer to this day - the seventh day of the first lunar month. Legend has it that this day is the day when Nuwa created humans.

As soon as glutinous rice balls are on the market, the Spring Festival is coming to an end.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was called the "Shangyuan Festival" in ancient times. On this night, lanterns were decorated everywhere, riddles were played and songs were played, highlighting the word "hao".

On the day of the winter solstice, the whole family will gather together to eat mutton and mutton soup. I heard from the elders that eating mutton will make people warm.

The whole family was eating and chatting together, which was very lively.

After the winter solstice, people in Ziyang become even busier.

People stuffed sausages, smoked bacon, kept the chickens and ducks in their homes together, and took out the old cellars stored in the soil at home, so that they could have a lively and wonderful New Year.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the children also had a holiday. Three or five children gathered together, not to do homework, but to discuss what to buy on the street.

I'm afraid the first big thing is to buy snacks, such as rice krispie treats, peanuts, and twists. Children all like to eat them.

The second big thing is to buy firecrackers, which are children's favorite thing to play, especially those boys.

These three items are all kinds of gadgets to buy - kites, toy guns~~~ I like to play with them.

The children played happily, and the adults became even more busy. They had to buy new clothes for the children before New Year's Eve to give them a surprise.

They also need to choose an auspicious day for a general cleaning, and they must clean and tidy so that everything will appear more cheerful when the Spring Festival comes.
