Chapter 112: Selling Dementia

Su Xiaomei came over with a red lantern: "Brother Xiaoyou, let's go sell dementia!" ”

Su You was curious: "What? ”

Hachiko laughed and said, "Go, go, let's go, sell the dementia, everyone is smarter!" ”

This is a custom that did not exist on Chinese New Year's Eve in later generations, children carrying lanterns in groups, when they see an elderly person, they shout to sell their dementia to him, and the elderly laugh and amuse the children, which is a very fun custom.

Looking at the look of anticipation in Su Xiaomei's eyes, Su You sighed a little, these children, such a custom, it was a luxury to want to participate in the past.

I couldn't help but take a lantern: "Let's go!" Sell dementia to go! ”

Chinese New Year's Eve is even more sleepless, tired of dull stagnation to welcome the new year;

Children call to walk the long street, and Yun has dementia to call people to buy.

Who is alone in the two things? There is still more than Wu Nong in the middle;

The south and north of the alley can't be sold, and they laugh and tease each other.

The oak block sits under the heavy curtain, and it is only necessary to buy the order and ask the price.

Er Yunweng doesn't need money to buy, and he has been demented for thousands of years!

ran around the village, and the mice and skinny babies in the village also came out, and the babies were in a large group, and the third brother smiled when he looked at it: "Ouch, there are too many dementias this year!" If you can't buy it, you can't buy it all, you let the fifth and sixth buy some too! ”

I bought salted beans, dried fruits, candied fruits and the like for dementia, and after shopping around, the babies added a lot of food to their pockets.

The mouse was not satisfied: "The eight princes are the best, he must be easy to sell there!" Let's go to Hachiko! ”

Then a group of babies came to the ancestral hall again.

The eight princes here are all cardboard boxes, and inside the boxes are all kinds of food - fine fruits, seasonal fruits, honey fried, sugar fried, gum tooth dumplings, Chengsha dumplings, honey ginger beans, jujube cakes, honey crisps, five-color beans, fried mallet chestnuts, ginkgo biloba......

Some of them were bought in the city, and some of them were made by themselves, and they were much more elaborate and rich than the others.

After selling the dementia, the babies came to the classroom.

Take out all the things you get from selling dementia and put them on your plate for supper.

When I was thirsty, I boiled mash water in the pot, and I mixed egg flowers, and I drank it if I wanted.

There are also many board games, lost painted cats, sticker notes.

Folk customs, the New Year's Eve gathering, called the trial of the year.

Whoever wins more tonight will have good luck next year.

Bagong and Su Yousu Xiaomei and tied up to play big two, although Bagong is illiterate, but the size of one to nine knows.

Flipped over a card and shouted "Eat." Hachiko smiled and looked at the babies around him who were playing together: "After a while, I will put wine and food to sacrifice to the plague god, and then throw the sacrificial utensils and other things outside the wall, everyone will see the clay bowl and mud pot outside tomorrow, don't pick it up, it will get sick." ”

The inventor is not necessarily a good player, there are many notes on Su You's head among the four people, followed by being tethered, and there are two or three on the face of the eighth prince, and the little sister's face is clean.

As soon as Su You spoke, his breath blew into a piece of paper: "There are really a lot of things to pay attention to during the New Year." ”

Hachiko said: "Yes, the customs of all walks of life are not the same, ordinary people's homes, generally send the plague god, like the silkworm family, then you have to cut the tail of the mouse." ”

Su You flopped the cards and was inexplicable: "Does the rat's tail have anything to do with silkworm raising?" ”

Hachiko smiled: "What are the silkworm families most afraid of? I am most afraid of the summer heat, the silkworm will die if it is hot, or the cocoon will be cocooned in advance, and the harvest of the year will be over. The rat is in the summer, the moon catches the rat, on the first day of the first month, the tail is broken when the sun is not rising, which is called 'breaking the summer tail'! ”

Su You smiled: "Ouch, the back of this pot is bigger than the pot on our stove!" ”

How to determine the time to reach Zizheng is also a question, Su You couldn't help but ask.

Hachiko said with a smile: "It's almost over, when you hear a firecracker, everyone will follow it, and you'll be done after sleeping." ”

After playing for a while, the sound of firecrackers began to be heard, and Hachiko said, "Let's go, it's time to worship the sky." ”

When Zizheng is in power, every household sets off firecrackers and opens the door to welcome the spring, commonly known as "Kaizheng".

Tie up in the courtyard to light firecrackers, the babies blindfolded in the outer courtyard in a circle, laughing and watching, the eight princes set up incense in the main hall, set up fruit boxes, sugar boxes, chicken, fish and pork, burn incense and candles, and lead Su oil to worship the sky and worship the ancestors.

After the firecrackers were released, Su You took the children to salute the eight princes and said goodbye to the New Year, one by one.

There is a stack of red envelopes around Bagong, and a child who comes over will happily send one, and there is ten New Year's money in it.

After that, everyone was put to bed.

In the early hours of the morning, Su You was called up by Hachiko again, and the two of them lightly put on the wine and food to sacrifice to the plague god like thieves, and then threw the sacrificial utensils and others outside the wall.

As soon as the big rooster crowed, before dawn, Su You had to get up again, first said hello to Hachiko, called "He Zheng", and then it was the ash heap.

The Song people strung the money at the end of the bamboo pole, circled it around the ash pile a few times, and then threw it on the ash pile, saying that it would be a wish for the New Year.

At dawn on Chinese New Year's Eve, the dung heap was beaten, and a pile of dust flew all over the yard.

But I hope that everything will be as I want, and I will let you return to Peng Ze.

Next is to put pepper wine and five spice plates. Kill chickens, paste chicken feathers.

Pepper wine is a wine soaked in pepper seeds, and the ancients got up early to drink it on the first day of the first lunar month, which means to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. Wuxin plate is five kinds of spicy food placed on the plate, also known as spring plate. It is commonly said that it can ward off evil, remove plague, and pass through the five organs, and it also has the meaning of He Xin.

The babies were woken up by the sound of the ash heap, and were pleasantly surprised to find that they had a new set of winter clothes and new shoes at the head of their bed.

Meizi put on new clothes, came out and said good New Year to Hachiko, and then went to wash up.

Zhang Zao sneaked out of the room, and was seen by Su You at a glance: "Brother Bad Baby, where are your new clothes?!" ”

Zhang Zao rubbed his hands: "I am reluctant to wear ......"

Hachiko smiled and said, "Put it on, it's rare to have a little oil." I'm going to wash up, I'm going to have a group worship after dinner, and I'll leave the New Year's gift to you. ”

Zhang Zao's eyes were red, and he bowed to Hachiko: "Yes." ”

Hachiko shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "Hey, what about the baby, I haven't had a good life, but it's all over, it's over......"

The so-called group worship is a gathering of the old people in several villages, every year a village looks back, buys meat and wine, and the old people sit in a place to cheer for home, talk about the old, enhance friendship, and show off the good things of their village.

In fact, the New Year can start from the wax moon, pick up gifts to relatives and friends, everyone exchanges gifts with each other, regardless of sending more and less, the important thing is to bless each other's hearts, also called "sending New Year's plates".

Regardless of the wine, food and wild food, the New Year's plate is sent every year.

Although the gift is small, the friendship between neighbors overflows the mountains and rivers.

Su You's family has received many New Year's gifts, but they have been busy all the way until now, and they haven't returned the gifts.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, avoid eating porridge and meat, so you can only eat floating balls.

There are many people who are troublesome to wrap up, so Su You directly puts the dry rice noodles into the dustpan, and the filling ball is wet and boiling.

Roll a circle of noodles, put it in a colander and then roll, and after a while, the glutinous rice balls become twice as big as the filling, and boil in the pot.

Hachiko said angrily: "It's good to put your brain on reading!" Thoughts all day long! ”

Su Youyun smiled: "It's not to let you eat it quickly and go to the group worship to show off!" Today there are three flavors, black sesame, peanut, orange red! ”

The babies and Hachiko actually like this thing, but Su You can't eat a few by himself, so he only came to get rich in four seasons to deal with things.

A village is a relative, so the return gift has to go, fortunately, there are many people, so a few big babies pick up the pick all the way.

The benefits of a lot of people and a lot of people, too many people don't dare to keep food, half of the size eats Lao Tzu to death, more than a dozen at a time, that battle is really scary.

The gift is very simple, two bottles of soy sauce, one bottle of vinegar, one can of bean paste, and five envelopes of rice candy.

It can't be too expensive, and the gift will be embarrassed by others if it is too different, so it is also important to give gifts.

In the village, the butcher is a foreigner, and the orphan is the kind of door, but he is also filial to the mother-in-law of the family.

Walking down in a circle, the fewer gifts are given, and the more the babies gather, the more they gather.

Back at home, everyone started playing on the playground.

Girls play skipping rope, swinging, jumping lattice, shuttlecock, throwing sandbags......

The boy is a monkey, playing around the ancestral hall and catching thieves, bandits rescue accomplices, cockfighting, drawing maps, and making a mess on the playground.

It's rare for everyone to be so happy, Su You simply went to cook by himself.
