Lin Xiyan's clear voice said unhurriedly, "Shehuo is a variety of acrobatic and juggling performances at festivals or festivals. Fire has the meaning of red fire and liveliness. Every time to welcome the gods, celebrate the assembly, must hold amusement activities, gongs, drums and torches to cheer, lion and dragon lantern parade, the crowd accompanied, obviously it is the power of the people to promote the power of the gods, the formation of the fire customs, it and the folk incense wish customs temple customs, just like the birth of sisters, just as the folk customs say: the fire entertains the gods, the incense entertains people. The meaning is deep and the flavor is long. ”

On the way home, Lin Xiyan popularized the social fire like the two of them, from the ancient totem worship, primitive song and dance, to the palace exorcism and sacrifice.

With the passage of time, through the dynasties, this kind of exorcism was introduced into the folk from the court, and gradually formed a huge folk ritual activity, which evolved into a competition for worshiping the gods, entertaining the gods, and welcoming the gods in the countryside, and added to the acrobatic performances.

Let them have a new understanding of social fire, understand more connotations, and are not limited to dragon dances, lion dances, and stilt walking......

For example, northerners must have dumplings on the table, but in the south, there is rarely the habit of eating dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve.

So in order to accommodate the two northerners of Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming, the Chinese New Year's Eve rice made dumplings.

The three of them sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, making dumplings and chatting.

"I have time tomorrow for the holiday, I will be in charge of the kitchen, let you taste, what is the authentic Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here: the pursuit of fresh ingredients, the pursuit of original cooking flavor, less big dishes and more small stir-frying." Here are the iconic seafood dishes, such as boiled prawns, steamed scallops with vermicelli, steamed grouper, white-cut chicken, roast goose, roast duck and more. Lin Xiyan introduced with high interest, "Seafood is not only what I said above, large flower nails, razor clams, white shellfish, scallops, duck mussels, oysters, scallops...... Steaming, stir-frying ginger and shallots, stir-frying spicy, and boiling are all OK, just because I'm on vacation, I'll make delicious food for you these days. ”

"It's delicious. Zhou Guangming said with drooling.

"Why haven't you eaten it yet?" Lin Xiyan asked as he looked at him puzzled.

"I haven't heard the name, mother, haven't you ever made how to eat?" Zhou Guangming said with a wink and a curious look at him.

"I can't even name him, and I can't make it, how can I eat it?" Hua Banzhi looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "And don't laugh at me." ”

"Why should I laugh at you. Lin Xiyan stopped rolling the dumpling wrapper and looked up at her.

"Because I can't eat it!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and said indifferently, "And it's so small, I don't know how to start, I feel that it is troublesome to do, it is difficult to eat, and it is not enjoyable to eat, it is not as refreshing as big fish and meat!"

"I'll do it, make sure you have enough to eat, it's enough!" Lin Xiyan said as he looked at her dotingly with a smile on his face.

"Then we'll wait. Hua Banzhi looked at him and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay!" Lin Xiyan said as he looked at her with a warm smile.

"Will you ask for a ticket!" Zhou Guangming suddenly said in a very disturbed manner.

"There is an abundance of seafood here, we go to the fraternity market, private stalls, no tickets. Lin Xiyan looked at him and said with a smile.

"During the Chinese New Year, people may not be able to come out of the stall!" Hua Banzhi suddenly remembered.

"Ah!" Lin Xiyan's face fell suddenly, and then he said optimistically, "In this way, I will do it when I have time in the future, and tomorrow, I will go to the market in a short time to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." Then he urged, "Hurry up, hurry up and make dumplings, and I'll go to the market after wrapping them." ”

"Forget it, it's time to go home early for the New Year. Hua Banzhi looked at him and persuaded, "Anyway, there will be time in the future." ”

"Go try, it's close anyway. Lin Xiyan sped up the speed of rolling the skin.

The dumplings of three people are three people in battle, so the wrapping is very fast.

Lin Xiyan put down the small rolling stick, didn't even wash his hands, took the iron bucket, and rode away on his bicycle.

Since I worked, I went early and returned late, and lunch was solved at the airport.

Although I often ask them what they eat at noon, it is still the eating habit of the north, even if there is seafood, it is only sea fish and prawns, and I don't notice that it is inappropriate.

I realized that there are so many delicious seafood that I haven't eaten before!

I still feel that I have done a good job, but I didn't see it so clearly.

Galloping out of the family home and riding into the fraternity market, as I thought in my heart, Chinese New Year's Eve was much more deserted, but I really bought seafood.

Lin Xiyan didn't say a word and bought a bucket of seafood, all of them were alive, and there was no problem at all with spit mud and eat fresh food for two days.

&*&

Lin Xiyan went to buy seafood, and the flower half branch at home put away the cutting board, small rolling pin, kitchen knife, and noodle bowl.

"Let's go! we need to invite them home. Hua Banzhi looked at Zhou Guangming and said.

"Oh!" Zhou Guangming nodded solemnly.

The two stood in the courtyard with incense, set off firecrackers, and went into the house with incense, and placed a wooden stick at the door, meaning that the ancestors should not go out.

Incense is inserted in front of the ancestral tablet, and "please God" is completed.

In fact, a set of ancestor worship procedures is cumbersome and complicated, Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming are thousands of miles away, a little brief, just get your mind.

"By the way, when I wrote to your grandfather before Guangming Qingming, I asked the old man to help my mother sweep the grave, and I will send back the money used to sweep the tomb. Hua Banzhi looked at Zhou Guangming and said.

"Hmm!" Zhou Guangming nodded hurriedly.

The Zhou family and the Hua family are in the front and back villages, so it is very convenient to ask Zhou's father to help.

"Mother, my mother's grave is so lonely outside the gate, okay?" Zhou Guangming pulled out a chair and sat in front of the desk, looking at the tablet of the silver lotus on the desk.

"Oh no! no one bothered. Hua Banzhi sat on the bed and looked at him and said.

"Don't worry! With your blessings, your thoughts, your mother is very good. Hua Banzhi's eyes looked at him tenderly and said softly, although she chose not an auspicious land for ten thousand years, it was also a blessed land.

"Every year, the villagers will help sweep the graves. Hua Banzhi looked at him and said in a calming voice.

"What if they only take money and don't do anything?" Zhou Guangming said worriedly.

"Don't worry! No, ordinary people won't do things that damage yin morality. Hua Banzhi reached out and held his hot little hand and said.

"That's good!" Zhou Guangming said reassuringly.

"When we grow up, go see your mother and report your achievements over the years. Hua Banzhi's crystal clear eyes looked at him and said.

"Hmm!" Zhou Guangming nodded with red eyes.

"I'm back. Lin Xiyan's voice came from the living room.

"Let's go, let's go out. Hua Banzhi got up and pulled Zhou Guangming out together.

"I'm lucky today, come and see! I bought a lot of seafood. Lin Xiyan raised the bucket in front of them and said.

Hua Banzhi watched Lin Xiyan carry the bucket into the kitchen, poured all the seafood into the water tank, and after washing his hands, he looked at them and said, "Are you hungry?"
