Inheritance, inheritance, order, order.

Chengxu Hall has a very good meaning.

This ancestral hall is also large, but the smell of incense inside is very strong. It is not as empty as the academy. There is an incense burner as high as a person in the middle of the courtyard, and the floor is covered with a red carpet.

Although the family ancestral hall is also a place to worship ancestors, it does not feel any coldness or fear at all. Looking at the names in the room makes people feel at ease.

The old man who let Chen Xing in asked: "Where are you from?"

"From Sichuan Province."

"Oh, Sichuan province, Rongcheng Chen family?"

Chen Xing shook his head.

"Then do you have any writing skills?"

"I don't remember."

Chen is considered a popular surname in the New Territories. Chen Xing has several grandfathers. Every year during the Qingming Festival, dozens of people go out together. The hotel has to reserve a floor, otherwise there will not be enough seats, but there is still no ancestral hall.

There is an attraction called the Chan Family Ancestral Hall, which is only a few kilometers away from the New Territories, but Chen Xing has never been there since he was so old, and has never heard his family mention anything about this place having anything to do with them.

The old man is a little disappointed.

He seems to want to help Chen Xing trace the source of Shuo and find out which branch of the Chen family it is.

Chen Xing doesn’t remember his generation.

But their ancestral home is definitely not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and may have something to do with Jiangxi. The genealogy in my grandfather’s family was recorded from the Qing Dynasty. Chen Xing read it once many years ago, and only remembered that the paper of the genealogy looked like it was made of hay.

Same, no other impression.

But no matter what, they are already New Territories people.

The old man asked Chen Xing to burn a stick of incense, and Chen Xing was very happy.

After all, they all belong to the old Chen family. Maybe they were the same ancestors thousands of years ago. Chen Xing bowed as usual and said in a low voice: "Please, seniors, bless me with a good harvest in career and love. Chen Xing is here first."

Thank you all."

Put incense and bow three times.

This ancestral hall is indeed very tastefully built, and there are many plaques on the main hall, such as the wooden signboards of Zhuangyuan and No. 6 Jinshi, Yanguan Chen's Mansion, etc. However, this is an ancestral hall after all, and it is not convenient for Chen Xing to look at it randomly.

It was even more inconvenient to take photos and videos, so he took a quick tour and came out.

The children were waiting for Chen Xing outside. When they saw him coming out, they quickly came over and asked, "He didn't hit you, did he?"

"Seventh uncle is so cruel!"

The next step is to go to the White Tower, located at the end of the village.

Chen Xing always called this place the White Pagoda, but he also had a name. Chen Fuyong said it was the Literary Style Pagoda. When he got closer, he saw that the sign said Tuanyun Pagoda, but in fact it just meant the same thing, which was to cultivate the local literary style.

.

This is more common in the south and is a kind of Feng Shui tower.

Like many clans, one of the keys to the prosperity of the Yanguan Chen family is reading. This can be seen from the Wenfeng Pagoda here, the academy in the village, and the plaques in the ancestral hall. Another proof is that other roads in the village

All have been renovated.

But the road near the college is still a very historical stone road.

Students throughout the ages have walked on those stone slabs, and they are still in use for hundreds of years. They do not get muddy or wet their shoes on rainy days. Doesn’t this kind of preferential treatment for scholars prove the status of reading in their hearts?

?

Tuanyun Pagoda is located in the center of the pond, surrounded by lotus flowers. This scenery made Chen Xing linger and sit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to look at the white pagoda and lotus flowers.

Until Chen Fuyong came over with his family.

"Chen Xing?" he greeted.

Jing Jing wanted to laugh again when she saw Chen Xing, but she held it back. Now she has to pretend to be a lady no matter what...

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Hello, are you done?"

"That's almost it." He introduced to his parents, "This is Chen Xing, who came back with us before. These are my parents."

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Chen Xing said.

This family really looks alike, and it’s not just a matter of appearance, but the fact that Hanako’s mouth likes to show his teeth when he smiles, making him look particularly cheerful and happy.

"Okay, okay, oh Ah Yong, why haven't I heard you say that before!"

The uncle was very enthusiastic and completely treated Chen Xing as his son's friend. Chen Fuyong didn't say that he met him on the way. After briefly giving Chen Xing's information, he and his girlfriend were together and chatting quietly.

Chen Xing is always worried that Jing Jing will talk about hanging out with children, and feels a little guilty.

But the old couple saw it as something they couldn't let go of, so they became even more enthusiastic.

After all, Chen Fuyong and Xiao An are together, so the uncles and aunts can only chat with Chen Xing, and they cannot leave the guests alone.

"Chen Xing, where are you from?"

"From Sichuan Province."

"Oh, Sichuan Province, is this your first time in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"Well, I just came here a few days ago."

"Then you must have never tasted our drunken shrimp, right? This is our traditional craft. The ones made in the hotel are not as delicious as ours. You and Xiao An must eat more in a while to refresh your mind."

Huh? Why are you so close to eating?

Chen Xing is indeed a little hungry, but he doesn’t want to go to Chen Fuyong’s house for dinner.

Before Chen Xing could refuse, Chen Fuyong said: "Yes, you are eating alone anyway, so come with us. But it's just a matter of a pair of fast food. The drunken shrimp and fish balls made by my mother are super

Awesome."

His mother smiled very happily, showing her gums.

The child praised her craftsmanship in front of her friends and girlfriend, which obviously made her feel very proud.

"It's almost time to float the fish. I have to go back and knead the fish balls. You guys can go shopping again."

Jing Jing immediately said: "Then I won't go shopping anymore. I want to go back and learn from you."

Chen Fuyong looked at Chen Xing, who said: "I've been playing here for almost two hours. If you don't mind, I'll interrupt you..."

Drunken shrimp, he wants to eat it.

There are also fish balls, but I don’t know what the difference is from the fish balls in Hong Kong.

"Hey! Don't bother me. You are Ah Yong's friend. Coming to us is like coming to your own home. And your surname is Chen, so maybe we were really the same family before. Don't be polite."

Walk back to Chen Fuyong's home.

The two-story building has more than 100 square meters on each floor, which is still more than 100 square meters without a public stall, so it looks very big. The things in the living room are not very cheap. The latest Xiaomi 75 super large-screen TV is placed

In the living room.

The sofa is also very comfortable to sit on.

But except for uncle, no one was sitting in the living room to rest. They were all crowded in the kitchen watching auntie cooking.

Fortunately, the kitchen is also very large, so they won't look crowded standing here.

Chen Fuyong's mother explained the cooking method to Chen Xing and others while cooking. She had already prepared the first step of the fish balls before, which was to use a kitchen knife to scrape the fish meat from the fish body. Now the delicate fish meat has been completely

The scraped off, white flowers were placed in a transparent bowl.

The bowl is filled with water, which is what she said before.

"Floating fish meat can remove the fishy smell and make it whiter. It can also reduce some impurities in the fish meat, making it more delicious when you eat it."

She scooped up a handful skillfully and felt it was ready.

"The time of blanching cannot be too long, otherwise the fish meat will not be made into fish balls if they are not fresh, and they will not stick together. Then when beating the fish meat, you must use a kitchen knife to stamp it slowly, and you cannot use a meat beater. The meat beater will not produce good results.

Eat."

Chen Xing seemed to understand, but he remembered it all.

These are all experiences.

Chen Xing has a lot of experience, but rarely does any practical work in the kitchen.

In the future, if he has to go to the kitchen frequently, these experiences will come in handy, allowing Chen Xing to master the methods of these dishes in a short time.

After finishing the preparations, the aunt carefully checked whether there were any fish bones in the minced fish meat. After this inspection, she put the white, tender and finely minced fish meat into a transparent bowl filled with a small amount of water.

Stir inside.

"Well, Xiao An, you can boil water in an iron pot."

Jing Jing quickly started to take action, and Chen Fuyong told her where the things in the kitchen were and how to use them.
