"Why are there so many people here?" Bi An stood on the street and asked Fan without confusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that around him, there were many people coming and going, more lively than Changtang, Hunan during the Dragon Boat Festival, and this was the second day of their arrival, not only did the number of people not decrease, but more and more.

"I don't know, but it's not a good thing," Fan Wu replied, and then walked through the crowd, there were too many people, which made it more difficult to find the ghosts in the town.

"I seem to know, Fan Wuyou came to see this" Bi An stopped and pointed to the front, only to see a banner in front of him, which reads "Lychee Dog Meat Festival"

"Dog Meat Festival" Seeing this festival, Bi An couldn't help but sigh. There has never been a shortage of festivals, from the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Double Ninth Festival, all of which are mainly to commemorate nostalgia.

There are very few festivals based on real life, and finally there is a festival just because of eating, Bi An was a little excited, Fan Wu next to him patted Bi An, and said helplessly: "This dog meat festival has been around for a long time, why are you so excited" It's just that Fan Wu looked around, the previous dog meat festival was so lively.

Regarding the origin of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, Fan Wu knows a little bit about it.

One is said to be based on folklore. There is a folk saying: "Fish in winter and dogs in summer." Because the dog meat is warm and easy to catch fire, the summer solstice is the day when the "yang energy" is at its peak, and eating lychee and dog meat, which are two very "hot" (easy to get on fire) things, just echoes the "yang energy", "using yang to make yang", will not be as hot as usual, so on this day let go of the stomach and eat a big meal.

The second is the creation of businessmen. Businessmen taboo many, business pay attention to the meaning of the head, the summer solstice means a change of seasons, in order to get a good omen of prosperous business all year round, so on the occasion of the arrival of this hot summer, specially bought very easy to catch fire lychee, dog meat, old wine to eat together, lychee is hot and humid, dog meat on fire, the two are added to eat together is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but in the eyes of businessmen has become "prosperous, prosperous and prosperous" meaning, and this statement quickly got the approval of many people, so on this day, Rather risk a nosebleed than make a big sacrifice with your index finger at all costs.

But looking at the current dog meat festival, there is no mention of these, it is not the same as the previous dog meat festival, it can't really be for eating, Fan Wu looked around a little speechlessly.

Fan Wuchai is right, this festival is really just for food.

There is a saying called "winter solstice fish sheng summer solstice dog", "stop" in the "to" two similar pronunciations but people misunderstand its meaning. Some people believe that this should be understood as eating sashimi during the winter solstice and dog meat during the summer solstice. As a result, people ate dog meat and munched on lychees when the summer solstice came, and gradually formed a custom.

Bi An opened his mouth and said: "Don't think about it, I think this festival should be a few people who were idle and sat and patted their thighs, in order to find a famous place to eat and drink, they found such a reason for the festival." ”

"Let's go, find a place to live first" Fan Wu pulled Bi An to leave, but when he turned around, he found that Bi An was missing. After looking around, he realized that Bi An had arrived at a dog meat stand.

"Follow the customs" Bi An said to Fan Wu, it was not the first time he had heard that dog meat was delicious, and this time it was still lychee barbecue, wouldn't it be too stupid not to buy some, Bi An looked at the delicious dog meat with anticipation.

"It's not a good thing for you to eat less and pay attention to your appetite," Fan Wu said, and Bi An didn't pay attention to Fan Wu. Fan Wu sighed, no wonder Bi An's mana always doesn't grow, and he can't even quit his appetite, so let alone practice.

The stall owner quickly packed the dog meat and handed it to Bi An, who walked towards Fan Wu after getting the dog meat, and suddenly a woman pulled Bi An and said emotionally: "Why do you want to eat dogs, don't you know that dogs are good friends of humans!" ”

"Damn, ****** to make trouble again" The stall owner saw it and walked to Bi An's side and pulled the woman away, Bi An walked to Fan Wu's side, and the stall owner and the woman were still arguing and pulling. The number of onlookers gradually increased.

There were some people holding signs walking here, the word "boycott" written on the signs, and when they passed by Bi An, another person glared at Bi An fiercely, and the stall owners of several dog meat stalls next to him also mixed in.

"Dogs are companion animals, friends of humans, not for consumption, resist eating dog meat!"

"My dog, the dog is so cute, how can you eat the dog"

"Resist boycott, it's too cruel, are you still human? You are like the evil spirits of the underworld."

Hearing the last sentence, Bi An couldn't help but have a black line, but Fan Wu laughed, this is a person. The stall owner stopped pestering the woman and continued to return to the stall to entertain the guests who bought meat.

The woman continued to dissuade the people who came to buy dog meat in front of the stall, but this time the stall owner had not spoken, and the person who bought the dog meat spoke first: "What does it matter to you that I buy dog meat?" If you don't eat, you won't eat, and it's my business that I eat. ”

"But, look at those dogs, how pitiful," said the woman, sadly, and the person holding the sign before echoed him.

The person who bought the dog meat looked at them with disdain, and continued: "The pigs are also pitiful, why don't you save the pigs?" Also, it's not bad for me to look at the lychees in this dog meat, quietly, why don't you save the lychees? ”

These words amused the people around him, and the stall owner cut the meat and handed it to the man, and said proudly: "Don't bother with them, they don't make trouble once or twice, eat this meat while it's hot."

The custom of eating dog meat has been around for a long time, and the stall owner still remembers the beginning, when it comes to the day of the summer solstice, the city is full of wind and rain, the restaurant stalls are almost full, and many usually nameless stalls are also lively overnight, and there are more smart merchants who temporarily rent benches and rent temporary storefronts to open food stalls. The lychee stalls on the street are also placed all over the city, starting at 6 o'clock in the evening, the whole city is boiling, and everywhere you can see the lights are bright, men and women, wine orders are fist-fighting, and the wine is fragrant and meaty......

But I don't know what's going on, since a few years ago, there are some so-called dog lovers at the dog meat festival, making trouble everywhere. These people don't care about talking about him, just a few days ago, his dog was secretly released by these people, looking at these dog lovers holding signs, the stall owner is angry, I really want to carry the knife in my hand, not to kill the dog, but to chop them.

"Devil, you are a devil, you will not end well" The woman cursed as she stared at the stall owner, holding a sign beside her, a young man clenched his fists, trying to beat the stall owner of the dog meat stall to death.
