The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he had a rare lazy sleep, and he didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

In the past year, he spurred himself on every day, got up early to exercise, and then trained in the military, watched things, and was busy, and there were very few times to rest like this.

After washing, he put on the Ming scholar costume, looked like a handsome son, and took the pretty maid and the old servant to burn incense at the Mazu Temple in Tainan under the protection of dozens of domestic servants (in fact, hundreds of guards).

Tainan was originally the territory of the Dutch, after Yan Changwu occupied, moved into the population of as many as 20,000, became one of the four towns in the southeast, and is the headquarters of the southeast military government, the fleet is also anchored here (in fact, it is the military port of Dayuan Island), although it is the first year of the construction of the port, but its temple fair is very lively, the more people go to the Mazu temple near the sea, almost half of the people in the entire Tainan area have come.

Mazu Temple looks at the past from afar, and the incense burned goes straight to the clouds, as if it is on fire, which shows the prosperity of its incense!

This Mazu temple is a Chinese god living in a western-style house, which is essentially a mansion of the Dutch, converted into a temple, and the temple is dedicated to the statue of Mazu.

In front of the temple, there is a sea of people, adults look at people's heads, and children look at their buttocks.

Mazu is the god of the sea, and its worship comes from southern Fujian, and there are many people who go to sea in southern Fujian, and the typhoon is raging, and people there need to pray for Mazu's blessing, and there are many believers.

After the Southeast Military Government established itself in Tainan, it was equivalent to setting Mazu as the national god, and it was clearly stipulated that military and political personnel could only believe in Mazu, and from then on, Mazu worshipped Dasheng.

People go to the Mazu Temple, mainly to burn incense and worship the gods, watch the gods parade, perform and eat and drink!

There is a long queue in front of the temple gate, there are volunteers and clergy to maintain order, let people go in batches to burn incense, look in from the temple gate, only to see a group of believers inside to the statue of Mazu devotionally kneeling, they hold a large stack of incense in their hands, some people are burning high incense, the hall is full of incense, the grand occasion is unprecedented!

Since midnight to burn incense for Mazu, people have almost not fought in order to grab the incense on their heads!

Ju said that the most blessed by Mazu is to burn the incense, and this incense is focused on the first day of the Spring Festival, which attracts everyone to scramble.

In the daytime, the main brigade arrived, and the Mazu Temple was very lively.

"Young master, shall we go in and burn incense?" Shuang'er asked.

"No!" Yan Changwu shook his head and said.

He saw so many people, if there was a problem with forcibly adding a plug, I am afraid that it would cause a lot of commotion, and it would not be good if the Spring Festival became a tragedy.

Why bother depriving the people of their joy, he wants to go in and pay homage, he can choose another day to do it alone.

So they stood on the side of the temple and watched the performance.

The head of the formation is the folk skills of southern Fujian, a unique local sacrificial culture, is one of the indispensable folk songs for the celebration in southern Fujian, the southeast military government up to nine adults are the people of southern Fujian, and the temple fair on the first day of the Lunar New Year is rarely allowed to perform at the head of the formation.

In addition to rewarding the gods, the temple invites the leaders to perform and make the festival more lively.

The head of the formation is divided into the Wen array and the martial array, the Wen array has the car drum, the peach blossom transition, the ox plow, the cloth horse, the foot pedal, the big drum array, the sick song, the eighteen touches, etc., the martial array has the Song Jiang array, the eight generals, the lion array, the dragon array, the seven masters and the eight masters, etc.

In addition to the local teams in Tainan, there are also those skilled teams in southern Fujian who have been invited at a high price, and the money, in addition to donations from believers, as well as government funds, has brought some prestigious teams on the mainland to Tainan to perform.

The performers at the head of the formation painted their faces, wearing colorful robes, jumping enthusiastically, like a group of demons dancing, entertaining people and gods, and the movements were wonderful, and the audience slapped their hands and praised: "It's so lively, it's not anywhere else!" ”

Shuang'er was young, and he also followed the clapping and shouting, as for Yan Changwu, he had a smile on his face, looking at the society he led single-handedly, and people were happy and peaceful.

"I'm hungry, go eat!" He dragged Shuang'er's hand and went to the temple fair food stall.

The aroma is wafting there, which is mouth-watering, and the scene is very popular.

In addition to the beef soup, rice cakes, fried oysters, meat balls, etc., as listed above, there are:

Boil the fish rolls, then add the crushed yam and water chestnuts, stir into fish cakes, and then scoop spoons into the water to cook.

Fried shrimp cakes, shrimp meat is fried together with brown flour, extremely fragrant.

Southern Fujian zongzi, with a strong southern Fujian flavor, the same variety is very numerous, there are white rice dumplings, mung bean dumplings, barbecued pork dumplings, eight treasure dumplings, roast meat dumplings. Among them, roast pork dumplings are the most popular, and their fillings are rich and colorful, including pork, dried scallops, taro, dried clams, duck eggs, etc.

Danzi noodles, although the noodles are small bowls, the ingredients are attentive, a bowl of noodles is spread with meatballs, shrimp, meat slices, and then poured with secret noodles, and then add an egg, it is very delicious!

……

In addition to the snacks produced by the people of the Southeast Military Government, there are also street vendors in southern Fujian who have crossed the sea to set up stalls, bringing more abundant food, such as Taiping Yan!

Taiping Swallow, also known as Flat Meat Swallow, is a famous Han flavor snack in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and is also a festive dish in Fuzhou customs. Fuzhou people celebrate the New Year's holidays, weddings and funerals, relatives and friends gather to say goodbye, they must eat "Taiping Yan", that is, take the auspiciousness of "Taiping" and "peace", so "no Yan is not a feast, no Yan is not an adult".

The bird's skin is made of selected lean pork hind legs, remove the tendons and periosteum, cut into thin strips, pound into meat puree with wooden gas, slowly add the potato flour sieved with a fine-hole silk sieve and an appropriate amount of water, stir repeatedly, press evenly, and initially become a hard billet, and then put it on the strip and roll it into thin slices. Apply a thin layer of potato flour, fold it up, and dry it slightly to form a fresh bird's nest skin. Continue to dry for dried bird's nest skin, and the general packaging will not be bad if it is stored for a long time. Before filling, cut the bird's skin into about 2 inch square slices with a knife and set aside. The stuffing is selected from lean pork and dried shrimp, water chestnut, seaweed, etc., and then a little soy sauce and green onion are added to taste, and the bird's skin square slices are wrapped into small flats, the surface is like a pomegranate, and it is steamed to become a meat bird's nest.

There is a popular saying that "meat is wrapped in meat"!

The shopkeepers here use boiled pork broth, a little chopped green onions, oil, and a number of duck eggs with peeled duck eggs, accompanied by vermicelli, shiitake mushrooms, yuba, etc., and steamed flat meat swallows to make a steaming, smooth and delicious bowl of "Taiping Swallows".

It tastes amazing! (Recommended!) Recommend! ）

Before wearing it, Yan Changwu had eaten Taiping Yan, because Taiping Yan is not often eaten (unless you are from Fuzhou), compared to the wontons and dumplings that are a little close, he praised Taiping Yan, and he had the opportunity to eat it again today, so he naturally worked hard with Shuang'er and ate three bowls in a row!

They didn't eat breakfast, they just ate all the way, and they ate all the money!

To tell the truth, Yan Changwu didn't show up much in front of him, and during the Spring Festival, the owners of the snack stalls were busy on the fire, and the diners were hungry for worms, and everyone was staring at the food, so they didn't care who this handsome descendant was, so he was not recognized.

The people didn't recognize him, but Chen Xinji, Yang Tiansheng and Police Chief An Changqing recognized him, and they were very surprised to see him and Shuang'er munching on the side, piling up a bunch of bowls next to him!

The Mazu temple fair is the most lively place, An Changqing did not have a holiday, organized manpower to ensure safety, and personally led the team to patrol, Chen Xinji gave himself a holiday, and Yang Tiansheng visited the temple fair together, and happened to see An Changqing, so they went threesome.

"That's Shuang'er!" Chen Xinji pointed to his fingers.

"Shuang'er!" Yang Tiansheng's eyes were deep, and then he sighed slightly!

The daughter of the Yang family still has a few years to marry into the Yan family, and unless she is too stupid at that time, her power is deep-rooted and difficult to shake!

But Yang Tiansheng can't be rude to his son-in-law's concubine in his son-in-law's land, after all, Yang Tiansheng is a generation of tycoons, capable people can't, and Chen Xinji went to see Yan Changwu together, An Changqing didn't go over.

As soon as the two tycoons passed, their guards unceremoniously cleaned up the surroundings, the diners complained, and the stall owner wanted to protest, so a few pieces of silver were thrown to him: "We've got it all!" ”

Seeing their strong appearance, even the police stood by and watched, and the stall owners and diners didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing Chen Yang coming together, Shuang'er hurriedly stood up and said, "Yang Ye, Chen Ye!" The two lords nodded to her.

In the past, Yahuan didn't even have the qualifications to greet them, and the two masters wouldn't greet her.

Yan Changwu didn't raise his head and said, "Here, sit down." ”

But I lamented in my heart, I can't be free if I want to!

Sure enough, Chen Zhenji, who sat down, immediately admonished!
