Chapter 59: Spring Festival
Before you know it, another two days have passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Spring Festival has arrived.
2014 is the first year of the lunar calendar, that is, the year of the horse, and in South Korea, the Spring Festival is also known as the old one.
Unlike the bustling Chinese New Year, South Korea's Spring Festival did not have firecrackers, and even the shops on the streets hung signs that they were temporarily closed, and basically the previously bustling Gangnam district became quiet.
Many people return to their hometowns, and the Chinese New Year is not very lively, but it is very grand and serious, and they usually get together as a family, and then the ingenious women make delicious food for the elders and their families.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they even wear hanbok to worship their ancestors, compared to modern China, everything is much more casual.
In China, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the family stays together, eats and watches the Spring Festival Gala or complains about the Spring Festival Gala, or they go outside to wave, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they are visited by relatives.
And it was even simpler for Xia Zhe to spend the Spring Festival alone before, just sit at home and eat and wait for death, and after the Spring Festival, continue to sit and eat and wait for death.
When I came to Korea this year, because of Grandma Kim and Kim Eun-hye, the atmosphere was naturally different.
Early in the morning, Xia Zhe pasted the New Year couplet that had been written on both sides of the door.
South Korea also has Spring Festival couplets, but they are not posted during the Spring Festival, but at the beginning of the spring, and the Spring Festival couplets are naturally written in Chinese characters, but they do write in black on a white background, which is completely different in Xia Zhe's opinion, in China. The couplets with black characters on a white background are generally good or bad if there are dead people in the family, and the festive color of the Chinese is naturally red.
Xia Zhe's calligraphy was okay, so he bought a few pieces of red paper and wrote and pasted them himself.
Koreans will naturally have red envelopes during the Spring Festival, but they still use white paper packaging, but Xia Zhe thinks that red envelopes should be used if they are still red envelopes, so what is given to Grandma Jin and Jin Enhui is a red envelope instead of a white envelope.
After receiving the red envelope, it is the New Year's greeting, and the Korean New Year's greeting is also very grand, and you have to kowtow or something, although Grandma Jin is Xia Zhe's elder, but it is absolutely impossible for him to kowtow to others.
First of all, he is a Chinese, he does not have this habit, and Grandma Jin is not his real grandmother, even if he has this habit, he cannot do it, but Kim Enhui meticulously kowtows to Grandma Jin.
Grandma Jin looked at her chubby and cute granddaughter, and then thought about the two of them when they were still hungry and cold during the Spring Festival last year, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
After the New Year, Xia Zhe and Grandma Jin began to prepare some ingredients for lunch meals, after all, Jin Enhui is still so young, and they are the only laborers in the family, as for those who came to help, they have already returned to the countryside on vacation, and the world is not as big as a family reunion.
However, several of Xia Zhe's bodyguards did not have a holiday, after all, these bodyguards were all adopted by Xia Zhe for training a long time ago, and they had no relatives at all, but let a group of five big and three rough people come over to help cook, then a meal may not be good until the evening.
You can't expect a group of men who are good at computers or martial arts to be interested in cooking, which is why Xia Zhe will do this every day.
And Xia Zhe himself didn't feel that he didn't have to do anything because he had a lot of money, and the days when he was relieved to stretch out his hand for food and open his mouth, he was no longer a human being, he was a rice worm.
The reason why Xia Zhe wants so much money is not only because of his own pursuit of money, but also because after having money, he can have time to do what he likes.
He doesn't like cooking, but he enjoys it.
"Come, come, come. Grandma Jin, little favor, you two come to taste the rice balls I specially wrapped, it's very hot, you pay attention. ”
As a southerner, tangyuan is king, and Xia Zhe basically has no love for dumplings, of course. He didn't like the dumplings much, but they were much better than dumplings.
And as a southerner, if you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice and Spring Festival, do you really eat dumplings?
Tangyuan is really not an uncommon commodity for Koreans, or rather, this thing can be eaten all over the world, but the method is different in different places, of course, it is basically transmitted from China.
The rice balls made by Xia Zhe have nothing to wrap, they are simple rice balls, which can be used for stir-frying, or can be used to make salty soup, with large white radish and celery, plus slippery rice balls, that taste. It was delicious.
And the rice balls are easy to eat, even an old man like Grandma Jin is happy to eat, and as for Jin Enhui, his face is full of oil.
Xia Zhe likes salty rice balls, but if he fries, he likes to sugar, after the rice balls are cooked, they are fried until the surface is golden, and then sprinkle some sugar while they are hot, and the sweet fried rice balls, plus the salty rice ball soup, that feeling, is very good.
Of course, in order to take care of Grandma Kim and Kim Eun-hye's Korean taste, he also specially prepared some rice cakes, five-grain rice, and bulgogi kimchi.
As for those bodyguards, Xia Zhe has never taken care of them after living for so many years, and for them, it is impossible to sit and eat with Xia Zhe, after all, they think that their identities are different, although Xia Zhe has never considered this problem, but they don't want Xia Zhe to have any way.
You can't force them with a knife, although his idle eggs hurt every day, but they didn't hurt to that extent.
As Xia Zhe's bodyguards, each of them is hidden in the shadows, and even Xia Zhe doesn't know where they are squatting if he doesn't take the initiative to contact them, but they will surround Xia Zhe like stars and moons.
Unless it happened in an independent place like the girls' dorm dormitory, they couldn't arrive at the first time, under normal circumstances, even if there were snipers nearby who were ready to deal with Xia Zhe, someone would quickly take care of him, and even if Bian Boxian happened, Xia Zhe didn't say retaliation, they also sent the information to him as soon as possible.
Xia Zhe generally doesn't like a large group of bodyguards around him, although this world is not peaceful, but in a certain situation it can be said to be quite peaceful, there is no need to surround a large group of bodyguards.
Life is all about living happily, and if a large group of bodyguards makes him feel uncomfortable, then he might as well not want to.
Basic protection can be guaranteed.
Accidents, even if there are bodyguards, after all, they are always human beings, not gods.
Therefore, for this group of people, Xia Zhe didn't want to pay more attention to them.
It's time to eat, it's time to drink.
Eat a little rice balls casually at noon, it doesn't take long for you to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Xia Zhe's hometown tradition is to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then you can go out to surf, and many places need to really wait until the evening is completely different.
Although he is in South Korea, Xia Zhe still tries his best to live the Spring Festival in his hometown.
