Chapter 82: The New Year is Approaching

The New Year is approaching, and Yunxi's factory has also reached the final stage, and only recently sent a batch of clothes worn by the ladies to the palace for the New Year, and there are still a few skilled workers left to process the goods needed by the last batch of clothing branches.

Mr. Xu is also busy collecting the wages of the workers, preparing to pay the wages to the workers, so that the workers can have a prosperous year, you know, all the workers who work in the Yunxi factory have a lot of income every year, Yunxi stipulates that the wages are paid every three months, and if there is an emergency, it can be advanced.

The supermarket in Baozi Town, the trading has been surprisingly good these days, and Yun Xi has done what he likes, and has imported some firecrackers, lanterns, and couplets from various channels. There is a fireworks area and a couplet area, not to mention that you can sell it.

At first, Yun Xi thought that it would be difficult to sell, after all, it was not easy for people in ancient times to make money. Like the couplet, some people write it by themselves, but after a few days, Yun Xi found that this ancient person still attached great importance to the New Year, and the couplet could be sold, after all, there were relatively few people who could write, plus the couplet sold by Yun Xi had a unique shape, and it was changed from the previous black font to gold characters, and some were down

The noodles are also printed with two goldfish. Some are printed with red peonies. People are tired of a year and want to have a good year, so they make shopping an important thing for them these days.

Yunxi also changed the teahouse in Kyoto to sell New Year's goods on the first floor. Tea is sold on the second floor.

In addition to these, Yun Xi and his mother, Jia Chen's mother and aunt are also busy Zhang Luo New Year's food. Because it takes a long time to marinate cured meat, it must be prepared as early as possible, so the mother pickles the bacon very early.

Steamed rice cakes, because of the homonym "high year", coupled with the variety of tastes, has almost become a must-have food for every family. The style of the rice cake is a square-shaped yellow and white rice cake, which symbolizes gold and silver, and symbolizes wealth in the New Year.

There are also many flavors of rice cakes, such as sweet rice cakes with glutinous rice flour and white sugar lard, roses, osmanthus, mint, vegetarian paste and other ingredients, with fine workmanship, which can be steamed directly or fried with egg white.

In addition to these chickens, ducks and fish, tea, wine, oil sauce, roasted goods from the north and south, sugar bait and fruits, they must be purchased sufficiently, and some gifts should be prepared when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year.

Yun Xi and his children are also ready for the new clothes and hats they wear for the New Year. Jia Chen also prepared a kite, preparing to fly a kite with Yunxi during the New Year. In addition, Jia Chen has been helping Mr. Xu settle the wages of the workers these days, and he is quite busy. Yun Xi buys New Year's goods with his brother. The elder brother is relatively naΓ―ve, and he buys some children to play, Yun Xi really can't do anything about him, he really doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy.

On this day, Jia Chen and Mr. Xu finally settled the wages of the workers, and asked Yun Xi to go out shopping and sell things early in the morning. The two of them took the carriage to the most lively Jian'an Street, and asked the coachman to park the carriage on the side of the street, and the two of them got off the carriage and began to go shopping, and walked in front of a jade shop.

Jia Chen said; "Xiaoxi, let's go in and have a look!".

Yun Xi saw that it was a jade shop and said, "Don't go in!" We don't sell jade. ”

Jia Chen said: "Go in and have a look, maybe you may meet someone you like." As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Yunxi into the jade shop.

Don't say that the jade in this jade shop is still dazzling, from jade pillows to jade earrings, jade inkstones, jade seals, jade teapots, jade tea bowls, and all kinds of jade jewelry.

As soon as Jia Chen entered the store, he walked directly towards the side where the jewelry was placed, Yun Xi was dazzled by the jade, and only found out for a long time that Jia Chen didn't know where to go, and he looked around the place where he bought jewelry, found him, and stepped forward to grab him and ridiculed, what did you say that you are a big man doing in a place that sells jewelry, and you don't wear jewelry.

When Jia Chen saw Yun Xi coming, he pulled Yun Xi over and said; "Xiaoxi, come here." I saw Jia Chen pick up a jade lock tied with a red rope and put it on Yun Xi's neck, Yun Xi was about to take it off, but was stopped by Jia Chen, so he listened to Jia Chen; "Xiaoxi, I bought this lock to lock your heart, I'm afraid your heart will fly, you know that you are too good."

Yun Xi pouted, "Buy a lock and lock me?" If you treat me badly, I will fly away and ignore you. But this lock is green and white, and it looks pretty good, so I took it. ”

Jia Chen was very happy to see Yun Xi accept the necklace...... The two of them went shopping again before returning to the factory.

Because today's twenty-third day of the lunar month is the legendary year, the ancient custom of this day is to send the king of the stove, that is, to worship the king of the stove, with a kind of sugar called the stove as a tribute, the sugar is a kind of maltose that sticks to the mouth and sticks to the teeth.

The reason for offering sugar to the stove is to stick to the mouth of the stove master. Legend has it that Zao Ye is the god sent by the Jade Emperor to the world to supervise good and evil, and it has the responsibility of communicating with the heavens and the earth, contacting the feelings of heaven and earth, and transmitting the information of the fairy land and the mortal world.

On this day, in addition to eating stove sugar, fire burning is also a very characteristic festival food. On the day of the 23rd day of the lunar month, the baked cake stalls in the city do business. Very prosperous. In Henan, people regard the sacrificial stove festival as a reunion festival second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Anyone who works, does business, or goes to school in other places should rush home before the 23rd day of the lunar month. If you can eat the sacrificial stove made at home, you will be protected by the god of the stove, and your family will be safe and sound in the coming year.

Yun Xi and Jiachen's brother helped their mother's aunt and sacrifice to the stove, they first pasted the portrait of the stove king, and then put on the offerings, and the mother kissed the incense. After the incense burned out, several people sat around the table and ate the stove candy.

In the past few years, Jia Chen has been settling the wages of the workers in the factory with Mr. Xu.

I'm sick today and have a little headache, so I'm making up for it tomorrow!
