Chapter 539: New Year's Customs (I)

After kowtowing to the old man and the old lady, a group of little guys, starting from Zhuang Rui's second uncle in order, bowed down one by one, and reached out to ask for red envelopes after kowtowing and standing up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Uncle, give a red envelope!"

In this room, Zhuang Rui was the youngest, so he kowtowed to him at the end, looking at his niece's outstretched little fat hand, Zhuang Rui took out the prepared red envelopes with a smile and sent them one by one.

Zhuang Rui hugged Nannan in his arms and said, "Nannan, give your red envelope to your uncle for safekeeping, okay?"

"No, my mother said that this is a dowry for Nan Nan when she grows up in the future......"

The little girl shook her head again and again, and the words that came out of her mouth immediately caused laughter in the room, she didn't know what a dowry was, she just repeated Zhuang Min's words.

"Okay, if you get married in the future, your uncle will give you a big red envelope......"

Zhuang Rui scratched the little girl's nose and let her go, the children gathered to eat fragrantly, if it was usual, they had to take a bowl and chase after them, so that these little ancestors could eat.

After Ouyang Gang moved the chopsticks, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was started, their family has no rules for eating and not speaking, the restaurant is always full of laughter, at this time, there is no minister, no provincial governor and no general, there is only strong family affection.

The old man and the old lady didn't eat much, and after about half an hour, the health doctor who was eating in the front yard rushed over, and together with Ouyang Wan, helped the two old men to go for a walk in the yard.

The children are almost eating at the moment, a group of little guys in Hulala, taking fireworks to the yard to set off firecrackers, and the sound of "crackling" outside has added a lot of festive atmosphere to the New Year.

"Alright, you guys come over ...... too"

After the old man left, Ouyang Zhenwu called his son and Ouyang Lu's brothers to the main table, except for Zhuang Rui's uncle who was still out of town at the moment, this can be regarded as the second or third generation of people.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Zhuang Rui raised his glass and toasted the two uncles, and said: "This can't help but be firecracked, it's a bit of a New Year's flavor, and the traditions of the New Year are about to be lost in the early years......

"Although this is good, but there are pros and cons to this matter, and the fire rate in the city is 60 percent higher than usual when firecrackers are set off during the New Year, so don't let it go, and lose the traditional ......."

It was Ouyang Long who spoke, he is now also the ruling party, he knows these things very well, every New Year, it is also their busiest time, Ouyang Long finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, and flew back to duty tomorrow.

Of course, busyness is not the so-called running for office, on the contrary, many people who are higher than their official rank may visit them in turn.

"Don't talk about state affairs during the New Year, Xiao Rui, you are engaged in collection, this is related to the traditional culture of our country, can you tell the attention of this New Year?"

Ouyang Zhenwu often heard his son praise Zhuang Rui for how good he was at identifying antiques, but he wanted to study Zhuang Rui and see how much he knew about traditional Chinese culture.

"Uncle, you can come up with a question, but we need a little color to do it......"

The New Year's Day was happy, Zhuang Rui saw that his uncle was interested, and he also made a joke.

"You kid, what do you want, let's say, I don't have ...... if you want money," Ouyang Zhenwu said with a smile.

"Uncle, let's do this, you come up with the question, if I answer it, you and the second uncle have a few cousins, each drink a glass of wine, if I can't answer, I will drink six glasses by myself, how about it?"

Zhuang Rui's words made several people look at each other, they don't know where Zhuang Rui got the confidence, they actually dare to say such a big thing, a few of them each drink a glass is nothing, if Zhuang Rui loses once, but he has to drink six cups, they use a cup of seven dollars to drink, and six cups are about four taels.

Ouyang Jun put on a miserable expression, looked at Zhuang Rui gloatingly, and said: "Wu'er, if you want to drink and no one stops you, my father's topic is very tricky......"

"I am willing to lose the bet, who of us loses, who drinks, second uncle, little uncle, how about it, can you come?"

Zhuang Rui's grinning appearance made several people a little unsure, who knows what kind of goods this kid has in his stomach? But Ouyang Zhenwu still didn't believe that with Zhuang Rui's age, he would understand these vulgar things.

"Just do as you say, whoever loses will drink, so let's talk about the first question, on the table over there, do you ......pay attention to these melon seeds and peanuts on the table?"

Ouyang Zhenwu smiled and came up with a question, after the children's table just now finished eating, he removed all the leftovers and put some snacks and peanuts and other things on the table again.

"Hehe, uncle, this is not difficult for me, melon seeds used to be called poor, it means that the common people have no money and can't afford to eat expensive things, melon seeds are cheap, so the poor have nothing to play.

But now for the Chinese New Year, this melon seed is not called poor, it is called poor, let us swallow all the poverty at the end of this year, uncle, am I right?"

Zhuang Rui's words caused Ouyang Jun's brothers to prick up their ears, although it was the New Year every year, they really didn't know that melon seeds were still so exquisite.

Ouyang Zhenwu nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, you kid even knows this, what about peanuts?"

"Peanuts are also called longevity fruits, eat them during the New Year, pay attention to longevity, take an auspicious meaning......"

Zhuang Rui was not stunned at all, and opened his mouth to say that when he first entered the pawnshop in the first year after graduating from Zhonghai, he did not go back to Pengcheng for the New Year, but spent the New Year at Uncle De's house.

Uncle De came from the old society, he is a folklore expert, he has always been very optimistic about Zhuang Rui, and wanted to take this apprentice, so he poured a lot of knowledge in his stomach to Zhuang Rui, and later gave Zhuang Rui a lot of miscellaneous things, all of which are related to folklore.

"That's right, all drink bars......

Zhuang Rui smiled proudly, there are many things in the folk customs of the year, which can be applied to the identification of miscellaneous items, and when he was learning the identification of miscellaneous antiques, he turned over a book on Chinese folk customs.

Folk customs, that is, folk customs, refer to the life culture created, enjoyed and inherited by the vast number of people in a country or nation, and China's folk customs have a long history, including eating Lantern Festival, eating dumplings, eating zongzi to catch temple fairs, etc., are included in the category of folk customs.

"Okay, that's right, I drank this glass of wine ......"

"I drank it too, and this wine is worth ......"

"Yes, I really didn't know that there was such a ...... to eat these things."

Ouyang Zhenwu took the lead, and several people drank the wine in front of them, Zhuang Rui took the wine bottle with a smile, and refilled the wine for several people one by one.

Zhuang Rui's second uncle Ouyang Zhenshan was also interested, pointed to the twelve plates on the table in front of him, and said to Zhuang Rui: "Xiao Rui, then let's talk about this dish, why is this a total of twelve dishes, is there any statement in it?"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, let's just say this dish, twelve dishes, four cold and eight hot, four is four flat, eight is eight stable, together it is the meaning of taking four flat and eight stable, talking about our last meal this year, to spend it in peace and stability, to welcome the arrival of the New Year......"

"Yes, the second uncle can't fail you, so let's have a drink with me......"

Ouyang Zhenshan nodded again and again when he heard this, this time there was no need for Zhuang Rui to persuade him to drink, and the people at the table consciously drank the wine that had just been poured up.

"Old Five, let's talk about the dishes, what is the importance of this chicken, duck and fish?"

Ouyang Jun also made up a sentence, but then was interrupted by Ouyang Lei, and said: "Forget about the chicken, this is an auspicious picture, it can't be counted, and children know it......"

Ouyang Jun was deeply impressed by the boss's words, and then added a few words: "Yes, yes, chicken doesn't count, the other three dishes count as three, if you kid can't say it, you have to drink six cups of each, that's eighteen glasses of wine......"

"Stupid boy, if he says it, won't we have three drinks too?"

Ouyang Zhenwu was speechless for his son, how could this cleverness not be used, just thinking about harming Zhuang Rui, he didn't expect that there would be contacts in it.

"Haha, second uncle, little uncle, you go and teach the fourth brother a lesson, let him drink this wine......"

After Zhuang Rui heard his uncle's words, he couldn't help laughing, and then said: "We don't count chickens, Brother Lei said just now, chickens are auspicious, that's right, I won't say it."

Let's talk about ducks first, the reason why the Spring Festival is called the Spring Festival is that spring is coming, Su Shi has such a sentence in the poem "Hui Chong Spring River Evening Scene": three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river, eating ducks during the Spring Festival, is thinking about the arrival of spring......"

"Yes, say one, I'll drink this cup first......" Ouyang Jun consciously drank the wine in front of him, happy for the New Year, Ouyang Zhenshan and others also raised their wine glasses.

"As for this fish......

"Slow, Xiao Rui, everyone knows this fish, does it mean that there is more than every year, you don't need to say this meaning, you have to tell why there are two fish dishes on the table?"

Ouyang Zhenwu stopped Zhuang Rui's words, good guy, a group of people didn't stump this little guy, Ouyang Zhenwu also felt a little unbearable, and the difficulty of this exam question should be increased a little.

"Okay, let's talk about this second fish, this fish is not eaten in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but to be eaten on the first day of the new year, which not only has to be more than every year, but also more than every year, I wish next year will be better!"
