At the end of the gambling game, the original hanging heart was finally put down, but after the gambling game ended, Tang Dashao not only did not take leisure, but became more busy......

There is only one reason, and that is - the Chinese New Year is coming......

When it comes to the New Year, in fact, many people don't know why the New Year is celebrated, and how did the word New Year come about......

"New Year" originated from the first and last years of the Yin Shang period in our country to worship the gods and ancestors, the initial date is not fixed, the Qin Dynasty has previously stipulated the first day of December, November and October, "New Year", until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the "Taichu calendar" was officially determined on the first day of the first month. From the Yin Shang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, "New Year" has many names such as "Yuanchen", "Sui Dynasty", "Yuan Ri", "New Year's Day" and so on.

And there is a saying in myths and legends that in ancient times there was a four-horned and four-legged beast - Xi.

Due to the shortage of food due to the heavy snow cover in winter, he often went to the nearby villages to find food, because of his large body, short temper, and fierce abnormality, which brought great disasters to the villagers. At the end of each month, people tidy up their clothes to help the old and the young, and go to the nearby bamboo forest to escape the night!

This year, while packing up and fleeing, the people of the village came across a child about seven or eight years old who collapsed on the side of the road hungry. A kind old woman woke up the child and asked the child to go up the mountain to avoid the evil beast

This clever child told everyone: cut more bamboo knots and take them with you, and the whole village can go home tonight! It would be nice to hang a red cloth outside the door of your house, and it will not come again until tomorrow after dawn. The villagers listened to the child's words in disbelief, and the old man of the village took them back to their homes!

Soon it was night, and the villagers were afraid that no one would dare to sleep because they were afraid that the "evening" would come, so they went to the open space in the middle of the village to guard some broken bamboo knots brought back from the bamboo forest, except for hanging red cloth strips outside their own doors. In the cold weather, everyone lit a fire to keep warm, and when they were hungry, they brought out some food......

In the middle of the night, Xi really came, and there was a loud roar, which made people tremble, and then the child said that the broken bamboo was thrown into the fire, making a crackling explosion, and this sound frightened Xi ......

The child stiffened when he saw Xi, and called on the blind date to throw the bamboo into the fire together, and Xi took the opportunity to push the child up with a horn......

The villagers responded to the child's call and threw the bamboo knots to vitality, and suddenly various explosive sounds appeared......

"Xi" heard this sound and turned around, and quickly left the village, without damaging anything in the village!

It's a pity that the child didn't survive and finally died......

And this child's name is called - Nian!

Because the "eve" did not die, so every year on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, everyone waited for the broken bamboo festival, hoping to get rid of the "eve" as soon as possible. But a year has passed, no one has seen the "Xi" again, some are just the firecrackers and the red cloth hanging in front of the door to prevent the arrival of the "Xi", but it has left us this legend and the customs of the New Year.

And the year is remembered, the thirtieth month of the year is called the New Year, also called Chinese New Year's Eve.

The New Year is naturally to commemorate that child, and Chinese New Year's Eve is to want to get rid of that monster - Eve!

Approaching the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy, because there are many things, to prepare New Year's goods, to prepare Spring Festival couplets......

In many places, there are many rules and customs for the New Year......

For example, the ashes at the bottom of the pot should be scraped a year ago, also known as burning the bottom of the pot......

If you want to clean the house, you have to clean the cobwebs in the corners of the walls, and you have to clean them, which is called cleaning the house.

Before the New Year, a lot of steamed buns should be steamed in advance, and when the first pot is out of the pot, it is necessary to set off the cannon, and the first steamed bun out of the pot cannot be eaten, and it is necessary to sacrifice to the sky.

Before that, I wanted croquettes, braised pork, and cooked a lot of dishes in advance......

Especially when it comes to croquettes, there are many things that cannot be said casually, such as the lack of oil, how long to fry, when to eat, and so on......

It seems that croquettes are a very sacred thing, and they should be treated with humility!

Chinese New Year's Eve I want to eat dumplings at noon on this day, and if they are meat filling, I have to set off the cannon before the dumplings......

On the evening of the thirtieth day, we have to eat a reunion dinner, and the oil bun symbolizes reunion, and no matter how much is left, this meal must be poured out, symbolizing that there is more than every year.

When the door is closed at night, it is called a cannon cannon, and after the family is gone, the family will not go out of the gate, and when the door is opened the next morning, it will also be fired, which is called an opener.

After the cannon is fired, the family sits together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and in some places there is a custom of keeping the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, starting at 0:00, in order to welcome the New Year, I also have to eat dumplings, but they are filled with leeks and eggs, and there are rules for making dumplings this time, and a part of the dumpling skin should be left, cut into noodles, and it is also called money, although that thing doesn't look like money......

When eating, everyone should get one or two in their bowl and eat as much as they want......

When the dumplings are laid, they also have to set off the guns, this time the guns are being fired, which is to welcome the New Year, some people will choose to get up early in the morning, and some people will choose to get up early, such as getting up at four o'clock to set off the guns and make dumplings.

If there are elders in the family, you also need to take out a bowl separately and give it to the elders to taste......

On the morning of the first day of the new year, after eating dumplings, the old people sat at home, holding melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and red envelopes, and put them on a plate, waiting for the younger generations to come to pay New Year's greetings, while the young people walked together in groups, one by one

Although there are many rules, the New Year is still loved by many people, but there are more and more people who say that there is no New Year's flavor and they can't experience the atmosphere of the New Year......

In Haishi, the atmosphere of the New Year is actually like what many people say, it is not very strong, but the Tang family is very lively, because Tang's mother Ye Ling is a very old-fashioned person, and many of the rules of the New Year are actually slowly being forgotten, and the Tang family still adheres to some sacred rules......

Like what......

"Tang Fei, shut up, go aside, don't affect my croquette......"

In the kitchen, a woman's scolding voice was heard......

Tang Dashao walked out of the kitchen with a dejected face, looking at Tang Xiaoxiao who was laughing on the side, quite depressed......

Just now, his mother Ye Ling was sagging his favorite steamed buns, and he wanted to sneak in and taste them first, but he was discovered......

Steamed meatballs, soak in water with steamed buns, add batter and materials to stir again, and then fry out of the meatballs, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, if you put some shrimp skin inside, the taste is better, the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for storage, you can't eat too much at one time, and it will be easy to spoil it for a few days......

"Xiaoxiao, don't you want to eat meatballs?" Tang Dashao rolled his eyes, looked at Tang and smiled.

"Eat, of course I want to eat, but you have to wait for your mother to do it, you don't want to eat it in advance, it's like this every year, you are scolded by your mother every year, why don't you repent at all?" Tang Xiaoxiao sneered, she wouldn't be so stupid......

"Okay, what about your Sister Shangshang and Sister Tingting?" Tang Dashao smiled and touched his nose......

This girl has been getting smarter and smarter lately, and she is not as easy to deceive as she used to be when she was a child......

Yun Shangshang is basically a homeless person, so the New Year is also in the Tang family, and Zheng Yating, for her own reasons, she used to celebrate the New Year in Xiangjiang, and wanted to see how the people in Haishi celebrated the New Year, and what was the difference between them and them......

As for Tang Ruyan, she is more depressed, her home is so close to here, there is no reason to stay here and not leave, besides, Tang Lao's personality will not allow her to live in Tang Dashao's house......

"Upstairs, it looks like you're getting something." Tang Xiao stared at the TV without looking back.

"You girl, when you watch TV, you just lie on your stomach like this, be careful of becoming a hunchback, and besides, you are so close, you are not afraid of myopia......" Tang Dashao said.

"Myopia? This girl is in good health now, don't you know that in the year-end exam, my sports is the first place? Those boys can't outrun me. Tang Xiaoxiao shook his smooth calves and said nonchalantly......

Tang Dashao was speechless when he heard this, your health is good, isn't it the result of your brother grooming you day and night? What especially makes Tang Dashao depressed is that will the first place in sports become myopia?

Tang Long, who was on the side, shook his head when he saw this scene, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand......

Tang Dashao came to the second floor and pushed open the door of Zheng Yating's room, but strangely enough, there was no one inside......

Is it in the dress room?

Tang Dashao came to the door of Yunshangshang, and before he knocked on the door, the door had already opened automatically, and two beautiful women stood at the door, looking at Tang Dashao in unison......

"You guys, what are you doing?" Tang Dashao was curious, especially curious, when did the relationship between the two of them become so close?

According to Tang Dashao's past feelings, didn't Zheng Yating and Tang Ruyan join forces to fight against Yun Shangshang?

"I didn't do anything, I just taught Tingting something." Yunshang said.

"Teach her something? What is it? Tang Dashao said curiously.

"Internal strength...... "Yun Shang said.

"What? You teach her this? "Tang Dashao is a little dizzy, internal strength, is this to pull Yun Shangshang into the ranks of the superpowers?

"What? Can't you? You see that the skin of the clothes is so good, so white, so delicate, I am really envious, the clothes can stay young forever, the skin will get better and better, and the temperament will change, so I begged her to teach me...... "Zheng Yating first glanced at Tang Dashao fiercely, and then said......

Tang Dashao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, Zheng Yating wanted to practice internal skills, but it was actually for the sake of making her skin better......

"Okay, practice is practice, but you have to listen to the words of the dress, you can't practice rashly, otherwise you will hurt yourself, I once vomited blood from my practice, if it wasn't for the clothes, maybe my life would be gone...... Tang Dashao admonished.

"Ah, so dangerous? Do you have anything else to do now? ”

Zheng Yating was taken aback, can she still lose her life when she practiced?
