[32] A new store opened
Kyoto Castle ushered in the first snow of the winter, and as the saying goes, it is a good year for the snow. The city is covered in snow, and children build snowmen and have snowball fights on the roadside.
The footsteps of the New Year are getting closer and closer, the streets and alleys are lit up, and every household is pasted with couplets and blessing words at the door, which is festive.
Qianmuxue set the opening date of the store on the first day of the new year, and the plan of the year lies in spring, and the new year begins a new year.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Qian Muxue and her family prepared a rich table of wine and food to celebrate their first Chinese New Year here.
In the evening, the sound of firecrackers sounded, one after another, and it was very lively.
After being full of wine and food, Qian Muxue and Lin Ziluo sat in front of the hall, according to local customs, to celebrate the New Year to zero hour for their families.
When Lin Ziluo's sister and brother were old, they fell asleep on the table unconsciously.
Qian Muxue didn't feel sleepy, gently covered them with clothes, walked out of the yard, looked up at the starry sky in the distance, and had a lot of thoughts.
This is her first New Year in this different time and space, and I don't know how good her relatives and friends in another time and space are?
Qian Muxue clasped her palms together and silently prayed for her family in her heart.
Every year in Kyoto City, a three-day celebration is held in the southern and western wards of the castle, each with its own unique format.
During these three days, there are crowds of people everywhere, and even the ladies who usually do not leave the boudoir for three steps are allowed to play on the street accompanied by family members or domestic servants.
In the early morning of the first day of the new year, the sun shines on the earth, the trees and the ice cubes on the eaves reflect the sunlight, and the streets and alleys are covered with red firecracker confetti like a red carpet.
Qian Muxue and Lin Ziluo got up early in the morning to prepare for the opening of the store.
Neighbors such as Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li, Sister Wang and Brother Guan came to say goodbye and help, helping to greet guests and distribute leaflets.
Since there was no printing press, Qian Muxue had to ask Lin Xiaohu to find a group of his classmates to copy it together, and the content was as follows: New big discount, buy five strings and get one string free, buy more and get more.
The auspicious time has arrived, the gongs and drums are beaten, and the lion dancers dance to a cheerful rhythm.
Under the dance of the lion dancers, the lion dancers danced forward, backward, or coquettish, and the dragon was alive, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
At this moment, the lion jumped under the plaque, which was already covered with a red cloth, under which hung a handful of lettuce and a bag of silver, so that the lion could come and unveil it.
I saw the lion dancer stepping on the leg of his companion, and with a strong waist, he climbed up to his companion's shoulder and set up a human ladder in three or two clicks.
The lion's head was raised, his mouth swallowed, and the red cloth was torn off, and the three golden characters were revealed.
A large string of firecrackers was lit at the same time, the sound was deafening, and the shop was officially opened.
Qian Muxue and Lin Xiaohu shouted loudly in front of the store, "Walk by, don't miss it, the new opening is a big discount, buy five strings and get one string free, the opportunity is rare." ”
When everyone was busy, the prince of the emperor came to Qian Muxue and Lin Ziluo at some point, and said, "If there is something to delay, please bear with me." ”
At the same time, Huang Fuhao sent a congratulatory gift with both hands, saying, "I wish the taste shop a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources." ”
From the preparation to the opening of this taste shop, the emperor has provided a lot of help and guidance.
Qian Muxue sincerely thanked Huang Fuhao, and said, "This taste shop can be opened smoothly, fortunately thanks to the help of the son." Tonight, Xue'er ordered a few tables of wine and food in Yipinju, one is to celebrate, and the other is to thank everyone for their support, I hope that Gongzi will definitely taste his face and attend. ”
Huangfu Hao's face was embarrassed, and he said apologetically, "Tonight, I'm afraid that I can't come here because I'm afraid of something, I'm very sorry." ”
Qian Muxue smiled: "Then I will invite you in the future." ”
"There must be a chance, you guys get busy first."
Qian Muxue gave Lin Ziluo a look, and Lin Ziluo hurriedly said, "Prince Huangfu, I'll send you away." ”
