Chapter 663 - Waiting for the fireworks show
Huo Jiling not only did what Li Muyao requested, but also almost made the way to eat dumplings.
As long as Li Muyao can say how to eat, Huo Jiling has made it out, fried, fried, steamed, boiled, stewed, and Huo Jiling has made every way to eat, fortunately, Huo Jiling doesn't have many dumplings of each type, because Li Muyao only ate one of each method.
The rest was all eaten by Huo Jiling alone.
Li Muyao is at least from Hunan Province, and there are only six or seven dumplings wrapped in flour.
After tasting dumplings in every way of eating, Li Muyao felt that she didn't want to eat dumplings for half a year, and couldn't help but ask Huo Jiling: "Ah Ling, are you not tired of eating dumplings?"
Also, are all of you Jincheng people very special enough to eat dumplings? If you can't eat dumplings during the holidays, you won't be able to celebrate the holidays, right?"
Huo Jiling was still sitting at the table eating fried dumplings, nodding while eating: "Yes, of course, there are some people who don't like to eat dumplings, but there are still a few of them."
When I was abroad, I used to make a lot of dumplings and freeze them in the refrigerator.
I often work overtime, and I can't order takeout at the meal, so I eat dumplings.
In the early days of my business, I was almost injured by the dumplings I made. Since then, I have basically only eaten one or two meals when I return to Jincheng for the Chinese New Year.
As I grow older, what I eat is no longer dumplings, but a feeling and an atmosphere. ”
It is true, it was really difficult for Huo Jiling to start a business in the early days when he was abroad, but after being sad, now looking back, it was a kind of good memories of life, which was full of various flavors.
Li Muyao nodded: "That's what I said, when people grow up, many behaviors become a feeling. Even the games you designed are the same, when they first come out, the people who play them are still students, and in another ten or twenty years, these students will grow up.
Adults, there is less time to play games.
No matter how much you play, you are no longer the same group of people who play games together, so what you have been insisting on playing is also playing feelings. ”
Li Muyao's words instantly gave Huo Jiling an idea of a good game marketing plan, and Huo Jiling laughed: "Well, everyone is nostalgic." ”
After Huo Jiling finished eating, Li Muyao and he cleaned up the kitchen again, brought all the fireworks sticks they bought, and carried a small bag, and the two went out hand in hand.
If it were elsewhere, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there would be very few people out to visit.
But in Pinglan County, basically everyone starts to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and begins to go out to play in the county square at five or six o'clock.
Just wait for a fireworks show at nine o'clock in the evening, and double the fireworks show in the early morning.
Li Muyao and Huo Jiling arrived at the square before five o'clock, and it was not dark yet, there were people everywhere, of course, there were more people setting up stalls, and today's things were all more expensive than usual.
But people who go shopping don't say anything, because it has become a custom.
Of course, the street vendors will only be expensive from the afternoon to the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve; the rest of the time will be at the usual original price; and this increase is also indiscriminate, that is, the usual price has increased by one or two times.
It can also be regarded as compensation for these rewards for continuing to come out to set up stalls and sell things on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve in response to the call of the county officials.
Yes, the first batch of people who set up stalls were all personally discussed by the county officials, so there was a custom that adding money would be more expensive than usual. After all, no one wants to come out to set up a stall against the cold wind during the Chinese New Year, and they may not be able to make money. Love you eBook
Besides, money can't be earned, and everyone wants to go home for a good New Year.
With this price increase, there is no need for the county official to invite from the second year, and those vendors will take the initiative to set up stalls, not only them, but also many people who want to make a lot of money on the last day of the New Year.
It was formed, and now it is on a large scale.
Of course, there are rules for setting up stalls, so there are a lot of people here in the square, but there is no chaos; the law and order is very good, and there is a police station on duty in the square; there will be more manpower today, which is five times that of usual; well, there is also an ambulance parked on the side of the square.
"Very nice and lively. I love the atmosphere, it really has a taste of the New Year. ”
The lights in the square were all replaced with red lanterns, and the light that came out was red and gentle, and all the vendors were wearing red or festive shirts, hats, scarves, or shoes.
In short, there is always a red spot on every vendor owner, and the radio in the square is still playing New Year's songs quietly, and everyone has a festive smile on their faces.
Really, as soon as he got here, Huo Jiling felt that this was the real New Year, and it was really lively.
Groups of threes and twos, chatting and eating at the same time, children, the elderly, and young people...... It's all smiling. This kind of picture and visual impact are new to Huo Jiling.
But I feel very comfortable, and I yearn for it, thinking that I can come here for the Chinese New Year next year.
Lively but not noisy, people who like to be quiet will love this festive and harmonious atmosphere.
"yes, I also like the taste of the New Year. I'm afraid that in the future, if our county will also learn from the big cities, banning firecrackers and fireworks, then there may not be the atmosphere and liveliness of now. ”
This is not what Li Muyao is blindly worried about, but later Pinglan County really banned firecrackers and fireworks like other big cities.
There is no fireworks show to watch, no traditional dragon dance and opera tunes, so come to the square to simply blow the cold wind?
Without that, no one would want to come.
There was no one, so it naturally became cold, just like Li Muyao's relationship with her family later.
"Such good customs and habits should indeed be maintained, and if it is forbidden to ban firecrackers and fireworks like Jincheng in the future, it is not necessary.
It's a big deal, the firecrackers and fireworks are environmentally friendly, smokeless kinds, and at most they are more expensive.
If you find more sponsorship from companies like my family, then this traditional custom can still be continued, don't worry, it will definitely not disappear. ”
What Huo Jiling said is true, of course, he is also planning in his heart, every year in the future, if he and Li Muyao can't return for the New Year, he can pay a sum of money in his personal name to support the fireworks show in Pinglan County for the Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Hehe, Ah Ling, you're right, it's a big deal that in the future, we will pay for it ourselves to sponsor smokeless fireworks to set off. "In short, if you want to continue to do it, as long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
You know, many large amusement parks in later generations will have fireworks shows to watch, so in order to attract more people!
Therefore, what Li Muyao thinks can be solved with money, then it is not a matter.
In the past, I didn't have the ability, but now that I have the ability, I don't want to be like in my previous life, every time I come to the New Year, Li Muyao can't even go home.
In the future, no matter how long she has been away from home, or what she is doing, Li Muyao can find an excuse to "go home to watch fireworks", go home for the New Year, come to the square to join in the excitement, miss the different people who accompany her every year.
