Ninety-two is the year of the dog in the lunar calendar, there was a heavy snow on the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and it stopped in the morning of the thirtieth day, Liu Lang got up from home at six o'clock in the morning, and went to the market with his father, second uncle and uncle to buy New Year's goods.

In fact, the Liu family is not short of New Year's goods, if you want to buy what you can't buy? But some New Year's goods still have to wait until this day to buy, after all, it is the tradition of many people to get up early in 30 days to go to the market, if you don't go to the market to wander around, it seems that this year is not complete.

The open-air Majiapu market has now become a semi-closed market, vegetable farmers will no longer experience the wind and rain, and it has gradually become a major farmers' market in Fucheng, where vegetable farmers will buy and sell every day, not only when the market is on the fifteenth day of the first month, the government department has also set up the Majiapu vegetable market management office, so that the vegetable farmers can sell in accordance with the regulations, and the dirty and messy phenomena of the market have disappeared, and everything has become regular.

However, the morning market in Chinese New Year's Eve is different from the vegetable market, it still follows the way of the market, and all vegetable farmers will not enter the vegetable market to buy and sell, they are all outside to sell in the open air, after all, the morning market is very short, starting from more than five o'clock to ending at more than nine o'clock in the morning.

Many vegetable farmers come to Majiabao once a year, often starting from home before dawn, most of them live in the countryside more than ten kilometers away from the city, and it takes several hours to come here with a horse-drawn carriage, so hard to buy a good price for a good year, after a few years, the horse-drawn carriage gradually disappeared, replaced by a minivan, of course, at that time, Fucheng no longer has only a few farmers' markets, and the people can go out to buy the food they need.

Today's Fucheng, no, it should be said that today's national materials are much better than in previous years, which can be seen from the most basic vegetable market, and many dishes that were not available before have also appeared.

Beef and mutton are no longer uncommon, and seafood is everywhere, and the freshest are a few wagons piled with vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants, and it's the middle of winter, and these are vegetables that only come in autumn, and no one can save them until now.

These are of course not preserved vegetables, but greenhouse planting, since last year Fucheng in the surrounding countryside to introduce modern new agricultural technology, that is, greenhouse planting, the so-called greenhouse is naturally a plastic film, can block the cold, inside the stove in the winter can maintain a temperature of more than 20 degrees, so the out-of-season vegetables appeared, the people's vegetable basket is more abundant, even in the cold winter wax moon can be late all kinds of fresh vegetables.

This is a common way to grow ten years later, and even five years later, when people can eat any vegetable in any season, but now this is a new thing, breaking the traditional thinking of vegetable farmers, and many people even think that these vegetables have been "mutated" by some unknown pesticide.

Ordinary people's ability to accept new things is very weak, but historical development is like this, the progress of science and technology will never be transferred by human thinking, if you don't recognize it, then it will be eliminated by the times, this is the law of history, no one can stop it.

When Liu Lang's family came to the vegetable market, it was only half past six, the sky had not yet brightened, and the street lights around the vegetable market were still on, but there were already many people here buying New Year's goods.

"Second brother, you're here, come, take a look at the silver carp in the Yusi Reservoir just hit, this fish is fresh, I caught it last night, come and stew it at home!"

A fish seller saw Liu Lang's second uncle Liu Dongxue hurriedly shouted, he was a frequent visitor to Majiapu, and Liu Dongxue often came here to visit.

"Eighth, you're here early! I'll take a look......... Well, this fish is okay, leave me one first, and I'll get it when I come back after shopping!"

"Haole, don't worry!"

The other party is very happy, this fish has at least ten catties and more than twenty yuan.

Liu Lang and the others then walked inside, and many vegetable farmers looked at it "cautiously," and their eyes fell on Liu Lang, this is Liu Lang! The hero of Fucheng, where in the whole of Fucheng does not know him? It is also his credit that Fucheng has become so good now, at least the common people think so.

Such people should be out of reach, and they are lucky to see at a glance, but Liu Lang is actually very approachable, but he is usually too busy with work and research, and he has no time to come out, but he will go to a famous restaurant in Fucheng to eat as soon as he has time, and there are many legends about him on the market, for example, one day he went to a Sichuan restaurant to eat, and the boss ran out to see when he heard that he was coming, but after seeing Liu Lang, he only felt that his knees were weak, and he knelt on the ground, as if to thank the other party for eating in his store.

This legend is widely circulated, because it confirms the fact that Liu Lang is not a mortal, and it also adds a mysterious color to Liu Lang by heaven, which is of course a "lie" spread by the common people, but it also reflects the people's love for Liu Lang.

Of course, Liu Lang didn't know that he had become a "legend" among the common people, and no one had asked him to confirm those "magical" stories, and now he just wanted to feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

Majiabao is very large, can accommodate hundreds of people to buy vegetables here, a few people while walking and the surrounding vegetable farmers to say hello, although the weather is cold, but the mood is very good, soon a few people are full of New Year's goods.

The sky is gradually brightening, and there are more and more people buying vegetables, many people also have children, seven or eight years old and teenagers, they are most excited about the New Year, especially when they get to the stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers, they are reluctant to leave, and they want to buy a few hangings with their parents.

"Bang......... Boom!"

A few "two kicks" flew into the sky, looked up and smiled, this is the year he imagined!

In another ten years, it will be less and less flavorful, on the one hand, with the improvement of living conditions, the mentality of "having meat to eat and new clothes to wear during the New Year" no longer exists, and on the other hand, China's urbanization has gradually faded or even disappeared many customs of the year.

People no longer go door-to-door to kowtow to the New Year, and they can't fire guns for the sake of so-called environmental protection.

What Liu Lang misses is the crackling of Chinese New Year's Eve that overshadows the sound of firecrackers on the TV and the evening of the Spring Festival, the familiar smell of gunpowder in the air, and the red debris that littered the house the next morning.

With the development of the times, people's lives are getting better and better, but some customs are gradually disappearing, which is not good or bad, but this is the memory of Liu Lang's generation.

That is the sound, smell, and color that belong to the New Year, and it is they that have left a mark on the "New Year", and after more than ten years, all that remains is the "money transaction" of red envelopes and New Year's money.
