…………………………………………
This middle-aged uncle has a lot of things on his stall, maybe he just came out of the mountains in the afternoon and just put them on the table, but fortunately, there were many people in Luoshi Town at the end of last year, and he may also have this idea to take the opportunity to sell some mountain goods.
The main ones are medicinal herbs and wild vegetables, and there are a few pheasants, hares, and the last is the little mink.
Looking at the things in front of him, Liu Yi was a little uneasy to choose, medicinal herbs and wild vegetables were all mainland goods, and there were many mountains near Liu Yi's hometown that he didn't have the leisure to pick. Pheasants and hares don't look like domesticated ones and are more reliable, but now they all have to take care of the belt fur before they can be eaten. Liu Yi didn't want to bother with that.
At the end, only this little mink was barely able to do it, and Liu Yi didn't look at this little mink carefully at first. It's that he didn't have the idea to buy it at all, looking at the way it hasn't grown up yet, and he has to take care of it carefully when he buys it back, and it doesn't matter if he can live or not.
Liu Yi, who noticed it now, was surprised to find that this little mink was quite distinctive. The fine hairs of the velvet are quite silky, and if you look closely, they are not gray-black as you think, but black-purple. The two big eyes were blazing, looking at the surroundings a little helplessly.
Liu Yi thought to himself that it was good that you had a big life, otherwise he would have thrown you to death at the beginning. However, Liu Yi also knew that mammals like this kind are not easy to be fallen, and they have meat pads like those on the paws of cats. Falling from the air will naturally turn around and touch the ground with the soles of your feet. It can take a good cushioning effect.
"I said that this uncle I want this little mink, didn't you just say 200 yuan, I bought it for 200 yuan." Liu Yi made up his mind to pay attention to this little mink.
"How can it be done, this mink was sold to the man just now for 200. But sell it to you for a maximum of 100 dollars! The middle-aged uncle was eagerly opposed.
The last one is scrambling. Liu Yi simply gave the middle-aged uncle's talking point a round. 3 pheasants, 5 hares, plus miscellaneous wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, Liu Yi gave him another 500 yuan. Fortunately, the middle-aged uncle accepted it after the worst of the time.
When Liu Yi left with a big bag full of things, he was still grateful to the middle-aged uncle, and said in his heart that Liu Yi was a good person. He knew in his heart that it would take a lot of luck to sell all of them, not to mention that the price was a lot higher than selling them at all.
Liu Yi, who left, lazily thought that it was his own business to take all these rabbits and pheasants back, purely to make trouble for himself, so he simply went to the slaughterhouse in the market to clean up these things, which saved time and trouble, and it didn't cost much.
Leave everything to a shop to take care of, Liu Yi and the wild vegetables and medicinal herbs are placed here, anyway, he will come to pick up the rabbit and pheasant, and then he will get it together. After explaining it here, he walked away leisurely with the mink in his arms.
There are indeed too many things on the market, and Liu Yi is a little dizzy and dazzled. At this time, he walked to the clothes, shoes and hats area, but he still didn't buy these things, and now he is relatively rich, unlike in the past when he could only wear a good shirt during the New Year's Festival.
Walking through the lively clothing area, Liu Yi's place is now a little calmer, this is the flower market, which can usually only be seen when rushing to the market, which is also the New Year, so the stalls are set up all day.
There have always been several families in the town who grow flowers and plants, each of which has the same characteristics and no characteristics, but they often go to the mountains to dig up some strange small trees and occasionally find orchids to sell, but those are much more expensive than their own growing.
Liu Yi is not very interested in this, and if he wants to plant it, then these on the market are not enough. He plans to plant flowers and plants on both sides of the road when he builds the road in the spring of the next year, and then talk to these flower farmers about how much less money can be made.
Walking through the flower market Liu Yi statue into the festive festival, here is all selling lanterns and lanterns and other things that should be used at night, at this time Liu Yi is really interested, this year is the first year that Liu Yi's new house has been built, and everything is said to hang a festive lantern to frame.
The lanterns of China are also collectively known as lanterns. Originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago, around the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people hang red lanterns symbolizing the meaning of reunion to create a festive atmosphere. Later, the lantern became a symbol of Chinese festivities. Through the inheritance and development of generations of lantern artists, a rich variety and superb craftsmanship have been formed.
There is also an interesting folk theory about the origin of lanterns. Legend has it that a long time ago, a mythical bird landed because it got lost, but was shot dead by an unwitting hunter.
The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he learned of the Dao, and issued an order to let the heavenly soldiers go to the world on the fifteenth day of the first month to set fire to the world, and burn all the human and animal property in the world. The daughter of the Emperor of Heaven was kind-hearted and could not bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so she secretly came to the world and told the people the news.
A clever man came up with a way to let everyone put up lights, light firecrackers, and set off fireworks at home on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days of the first lunar month, so that the Emperor of Heaven would think that the Heavenly Soldiers had set fires. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor of Heaven looked down and found that the world was full of red light, and the sound shook the sky, and it was like this for three consecutive nights, thinking that it was the flames of the fire and gave up. In order to commemorate this success, every 15th day of the first lunar month, every household hangs lanterns to commemorate this day.
What's more, this is also related to the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Huang Chao led the rebel army north to attack Huncheng.
However, now the Chinese lantern is not only used for lighting, it is often also a symbol, in the past, the bridal lamp (that is, the palace lamp) represents the wedding celebration; Bamboo lanterns indicate that this is a funeral occasion; Since the pronunciation of the character is similar to that of "Tian Ding", lanterns are also used to pray for the birth of children.
Different eras have also given it different meanings. Every year when the school year opens, parents prepare a lantern for their children, which is lit by the teacher to symbolize the bright future of the students. Later, it evolved into the custom of carrying lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
In the era of Japanese occupation, patriots painted folk tales on lanterns to teach their children and grandchildren about their own culture, so it has the significance of passing the torch from generation to generation.
Looking at the big red lanterns hanging all over the street, there are all kinds of them, and the styles are very different. Liu Yi didn't hesitate to stop and pick them up, hoping to buy a few and bring good luck to his family.
So no matter what, there will be no shortage of lanterns in the house this year! (To be continued......)
