*************************

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the residents of the Ming Kingdom are still busy preparing for the arrival of the New Year. Because there is another day that is the most important festival of the Chinese nation, New Year's Day, that is, the Spring Festival of China.

Most of the immigrants and migrant workers on the island are from China, so they attach great importance to this festival, of course, under the influence of the Chinese people, foreign immigrants who like to join in the fun, also learn how to celebrate the New Year with their Chinese friends.

For a time, the sales volume of goods in Mingguo greatly increased.

In Mingcheng Apartment, Qi Xiaoyue, her mother Song Fang and father Qi Dong are busy in their new home, and the people in the department store are setting up their family's newly purchased TV and refrigerator.

After Qi Xiaoyue successfully signed EBC as an artist, she officially became a member of the seven-member newcomer girl group Yaochi Group SG. The training is very hard every day, and I have to rehearse for the Spring Festival Gala performance, and I have to take photos and so on. It's a busy day. Despite this, Qi Xiaoyue is still very happy, at least she has not been subjected to unspoken rules, nor has she spent money on packaging, and now everything is packaged by the company. The main thing is that I like Ming very much.

The daughter's job is stable, and her mother Song Fang and father Qi Dong are also very happy, and the two of them discussed it and decided to come to Mingguo to accompany their daughter for the New Year.

Since Song Fang planned to stay here for a long time, Qi Xiaoyue proposed to the company to move out of the dormitory, but rented this residence with her family.

Although this house is two bedrooms and one living room, it is enough for their family of three to live. And Mingguo's house is getting harder and harder to rent. Housing prices have also risen sharply. They should be thankful that they were able to rent a house before the end of the year.

As a Spring Festival benefit, EBC Broadcasting Company not only sent a big red envelope to Qi Xiaoyue, but also sent a set of New Year's supplies.

Mother Song Fang opened the Spring Festival items that the company gave to Qi Xiaoyue. When I opened it, it turned out to be some things that I don't usually see in China, such as peach charms, ancestor worship utensils, postcards and red paper bags, as well as two pages of how to use them.

In order to apply for the Ming-style Spring Festival to become the world's intangible cultural heritage, the Ministry of Culture and Culture of the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to promote the Ming-style Spring Festival, and distributed various Spring Festival items to the people free of charge.

At the same time, Mingguo also invited UNESCO to settle in Mingguo for a while, and visiting Mingguo's Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and other festivals is a traditional folk custom.

The peach talisman is made of peach wood, the workmanship is exquisite, and the names of the two gods are written respectively "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei", which are used to hang in front of the door.

The ancestor worship utensils are a set of ritual utensils, which is also very simple, almost Koreans will, on Chinese New Year's Eve or major festivals, put a small tablet or a statue of the deceased elder in the living room, place the sacrifice, and the whole family kowtows. Keep it simple.

There are postcards and red paper bags, this is used for New Year's greetings, after writing auspicious words on the postcard, go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, if the other party is not at home, you can directly put the postcard into the red paper bag hanging in front of the other party's house.

The family figured out the use of these items, and the next step was to go downstairs to shop for New Year's goods.

This family is completely unfamiliar with the Ming Kingdom, the daughter came first, and they have just arrived for two or three days, and they can hardly even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

Once downstairs, the family didn't know which way to go.

Song Fang was complaining to her husband: "You said that you have been here for a few days, and you don't go to buy New Year's goods, and you don't know where to buy them now." ”

"Oh, how simple, go to the supermarket to buy it, I saw the supermarket downstairs that day, there are couplets, blessing characters or something."

"You just say you're too lazy, so do you know where to buy firecrackers?"

Qi Dong touched his head: "What kind of firecrackers to buy, it's a big deal." Let's just go to the supermarket and buy some fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. Buy some sugar, peanuts, and melon seeds. If you have almonds, walnuts or something, buy more. ”

"Dad, I want new clothes!" Qi Xiaoyue pouted.

"Oh, you've got enough new clothes, why do you have to buy them a year ago."

"I used to wear new clothes every Chinese New Year." Qi Xiaoyue protested.

"That's right, husband, I have to change my underwear for the New Year, so I have to find out where the department store in Mingguo is. Don't be so lazy, just go shopping with our mother. ”

"How simple is it, why don't we just take a taxi?"

"Haha, Dad, you're awesome." Qi Xiaoyue stretched out her thumb.

"That's a must."

A yellow taxi, a Chevrolet Volanda electric sedan, is parked outside the Mingcheng apartment complex, which is now standard in Mingguo taxis.

Most of the residents of the Ming Kingdom like to buy three kinds of cars: Tesla, Nissan Leaf, and Huaxia BYD, and only the rich will buy electric cars from luxury car brands such as Cadillac.

The family boarded a taxi.

"Where are you going?" The taxi driver is in his forties.

"Master, we want to find a department store to buy New Year's goods, do you know the place?"

"No problem, wrap it up on me." The driver looked confident. It made a family of three very happy.

"The master is very familiar with Mingguo Street, is he a local?"

"Haha, no, you're from Huaxia, right? I'm also from Huaxia, but I'm early. Ming came a month after the opening of the island. ”

"Oops, then have you got the nationality of Mingguo?" Qi Dong is more concerned about this matter, because when it comes to the future development of his baby daughter, he still wants to know about it.

"I got it, I got it early."

"Is it easy to get Ming nationality?"

"It's easy, but Ming is not a dual nationality country, and if you want to become naturalized, you must give up your original nationality."

"After joining the Ming nationality, do you feel more convenient?" Qi Dong continued to ask.

"Of course, after becoming a Ming citizen, the government will give preferential treatment in many aspects, and businessmen will also be allowed to invest in some industries on the island that do not allow foreigners to invest."

"That's right," Qi Dong and Song Fang both nodded.

The car soon drove to a large supermarket in the Dongdu business district, and the three of them found that it was really a pleasure to buy on the island, and Mingguo was a duty-free port, so the price was very cheap.

But even so, Song Fang was still very distressed, she habitually converted it into soft sister coins, so Qi Xiaoyue protested: "Oh Mom, can you not deduct it so much, let's do it, buy New Year's goods with my money, you make money in Huaxia and spend anything in Mingguo, I make money in Mingguo and spend in Mingguo, so it's always okay, right?" Spend my money. ”

In this way, Song Fang suddenly figured it out, 4 apples for 1 gold yuan, 6 bananas for 1 gold yuan, 2 boxes of grapes for 1 gold yuan, 3 mangoes for 1 gold yuan, and 1.1 gold yuan for grapes.

The family bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, followed by meat and other seasonings, pork belly 3 gold yuan a catty, pork ribs 3 gold yuan 1 catty, chicken wings 1 gold yuan a box, whole chicken 3 gold yuan a catty, beef 4 gold yuan a catty, 1 gold yuan 20 eggs. Of course, these are imported prices, and the price of ingredients in the Ming Kingdom is expensive, and the same is the steak, and the authentic Ming steak is 13.99 gold yuan a catty. The steak imported from the United States is only 4 gold yuan a catty. Korean premium barbecue is only 3.7 gold yuan 1 catty.

Song Fang likes to eat fish and bought some Taiwanese yellow croaker and Japanese white cod, the prices are 1.99 gold yuan a catty and 4.99 gold yuan a catty respectively, while Qi Dong's favorite white shrimp is only 3 gold yuan per catty.

Needless to mention underwear, there are 5 or 6 yuan.

The price of Häagen-Dazs ice cream is 4 yuan 5, so the three people bought 10 Häagen-Dazs ice cream in one go, and bought an 8-pound bottle of pure milk, only 3 yuan 6.

The price of 24 bottles of Tsingtao beer imported from Huaxia is only 23 yuan. I also bought two bottles of Ming domestic red wine. Only then did I return home with a full load and go out to take a taxi home.
