Take a cart of flower cakes to my daughter's house for the October party.

At the foot of the Qinling Mountains and on the bank of the Fenghe River, no one knows when the custom of the October Ancient Fair began. It doesn't matter at all.

What is important is the fragrant steamed rice and flower cakes symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness at the ancient meeting.

Steamed rice is mostly made by careless men, and it is hard work, which is necessary for men. This is the taste; Flower cake is definitely a disgusting job for women, and it is meticulous. Only women can do it, and that's what they want!

Steamed rice is a big pot and a big stove, and flower cake is a graceful one!

Let's talk about flower cakes this time!

The woman who got married that year had an October party, and her mother wanted to make a gift of flower cakes early, which was called: chasing cakes; If you have grandchildren, you need to add a load of cookies, which is called "big cakes with cookies".

On the day when the in-laws meet, the new son-in-law will stand at the entrance of the village with a bunch of brothers early, smiling and waiting to take over the flower cake on the old father-in-law's shoulder. A group of children, male and female, are waiting; Waiting to pull out the radish flowers on the flower cake; If you can grab a flower, your heart will be beautiful all day. If you put it in a prepared water bottle, the house will be warm all winter.

The host family can protect the flowers and speak well; But you can't stop children from pulling flowers. This is a custom. Children only pull flowers and don't move white buns. This is the rule, which was left by our ancestors.

No one pulls out the flowers of your cake, which means that you are not doing well in the village; The flowers on your flower cake have been pulled out, which means that you have done so badly in the village that your husband is ashamed!

Cake, high also; On the day when sesame blossoms are rising, happiness is getting higher and higher, and life is getting better every year; Higher and higher, higher and higher

On both sides of the Fengshui River are rich places, rich places, harvesting wheat in summer and rice in autumn. The lotus leaves in the sky are clear, and even the lotus roots are muddy.

Wheat flour is suitable for making flower cakes, and osmanthus meatball rice is just for steamed rice.

When my father chose the most full and full wheat field to grind flour, he told the master to make flower cakes for women. The flour mill got the message, changed the sieve, narrowed the distance between the mills, and the white flour of Xiaoyan No.6 wheat fell into the barrel!

After lunch the day before the daughter's family meeting, the mother set about steaming flower cakes for her daughter; Fourth sister-in-law and second aunt want to invite a large group of people!

People are divided into two categories; One is kneading dough to make cakes, and the other is carving flowers skillfully.

The flower is radish flower, and white radish with circular symmetry is selected; Washing, cutting, carving and shading; Color dividend, yellow, blue and green; Red should be crimson, yellow should be golden yellow, blue is autumn sky, and green is spring and March wheat seedlings.

The reason why radish is used to carve flowers is because radish is water-colored, radish is easy to carve and radish can last for a long time.

Then cut off the holly branches and wash them. After that, the radish flower became a flower when it was inserted on the holly branch; There is an aura of water green and youth!

Knead the dough on the mahogany table in the kitchen; Only this big case can open the battlefield.

The second aunt next door is the first to arrive, so that the second aunt is the best; It's not heavy. The steamed bread out of the pot is as white as snow in December and crisp as pears in June and August. A large basin of alkaline noodles was kneaded into a ball by delicate hands; The shape is my shape, the grid is not drawn, the hand is not sticky, it is torn like a tendon, and it is like mud. Go back to the basin, cover it with plastic wrap and put it on the hot kang to sober up. About forty minutes later, I woke up half asleep and was making steamed buns.

At this time, the fire in the cauldron has begun to steam and hiss!

The cake is in the pot and divided into three layers; The bottom layer is pure steamed bread, and the upper two layers are separated by red dates and walnuts; Jujube means "early", and walnut means reunion and solid desire. Burn the gas for 30 minutes, then burn it slowly 10 minutes, take it out of the pot, let it cool, and put it on the table like a plate!

Early in the morning, put the carved radish on the cake; White buns, red dates and colorful radish flowers are elegant!

Use two big bamboo baskets. The big bamboo baskets come out at this time of year. The color of bamboo has been ground into shiny black by years; Spread new white wheat straw on the bottom, cover it with a red cloth towel and expose it at the four corners of the basket. Finally, put the flower cakes on the red cloth and live together.

The burden should be Cyclobalanopsis australis wood, with round holes drilled at both ends and iron hooks connected with three rings, with rhythm and sound.

Go, the woman's house will leave soon!

This is the most beautiful October scenery at the foot of Nanshan and by the Feng Shui River.

You see, energetic father-in-law, father, carrying the burden on his shoulders, only holding the iron hook in front, striding forward all the way; Mother-in-law followed, followed by brother-in-law, panting and flushed!

The burden of flower cake, out of the village, on the bridge, across the weir, through a wheat field; People with twice the spirit, swaying burdens, dripping radish flowers, whisked buns, bright red interlayers, green wheat fields, and daisies all over the river bank.

This is October with the richest feng shui!

This is the most energetic October in Feng Shui!

This is the oldest and most youthful October in Feng Shui!

On the evening of 20 17 10.
