Of course, this contest will be held until after the Lantern Festival, and then the final competition will be held.

However, everyone was not in a hurry at this point, but they made an appointment to come and see it, and when it became dark in the afternoon, they each said goodbye and went home.

In fact, many modern Spring Festival customs are from the Song Dynasty, and this side of Dachu is actually similar to the Song Dynasty.

For example, the promotion of merchants, at this time, many merchants are like modern times, how much money is reached by customers who buy their own goods, and they will send an almanac (wall calendar), this process does not sound familiar?

Some guests from poor families will start to deposit money in some familiar butcher shops, dim sum shops, and other places after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and discuss well, and come to pick up the goods as soon as the New Year arrives.

Cao Yan really didn't know this custom before, or once inadvertently, when eating in his own restaurant, he heard someone ask whether the fast food restaurant would open on the Chinese New Year's Eve, he wanted to save money, and came to pick up the dishes on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Of course, considering that there are only a few days of New Year's Eve in a year, Cao Yan made people reject the proposal to open for business on the Chinese New Year's Eve, so these savers changed the day of picking up the goods to twenty-nine, and on the twenty-ninth day, the fast food restaurants in the city in order to complete the order, but hundreds of more people helped to barely complete the order, and stopped business for a day.

But it's not just those who save money, fast food restaurants, and Cao Yan's farm.

Since everyone ate Cao Yan's domestic pork, they found that this pork is not as smelly as the meat sold by other families, and the taste is better than that of other people's domestic pigs, which makes every day as long as Cao Yan's family kills pigs, there will be countless people waiting in front of the stall to choose their favorite parts.

At this time, the choice of meat is not like lean meat like later generations, and many poor people like to ask for fat meat, because such meat is hungry.

Therefore, if these poor people want to buy the most favorite fatty meat, they must go to the pig killing farm outside Linjiazhuang and wait, and the price of meat bought by Cao Yan's family is also different from that of other families, other people's fat meat is expensive, and lean meat is cheap, Cao Yan is just the opposite, which is also another main reason why many civilians like to come here.

And Cao Yan's jokes that I have seen before, and I have also seen real people, that is, there are some women who like to pinch those fat meat with their hands, and they hurry home after pinching their hands full of oil, and sometimes they will see the same person to pinch it several times, if this matter is replaced by other meat stalls, it will definitely be scolded by the stall owner, but when it comes to Cao Yan, he makes those people in the village think that they don't see it.

Later, Cao Yan saw a lot of this, so he asked people to line up and give away pig blood for free, and people who came to this slaughterhouse every day to queue up to receive pig blood often lined up in a long line.

However, among them, the elbow and pork belly, the pork liver is the most popular, because Cao Yan put out the Dongpo elbow, braised pork belly and bandit pork liver, many people in Cao Yan's shop after eating these dishes, they like it, so many people like to buy it back and make it themselves.

And the price of eggs, chicken, duck eggs, duck meat and so on, now it has become more close to the people, as long as the people who work in Cao Yan's house want to buy some to eat every once in a while, there is still no pressure.

Then there is playing games, such as throwing darts, throwing rings, such games to earn gifts, but there are relatively few people who do this in this era, after all, there are a lot of people who are powerful in martial arts, and it is easy to lose money when doing this.

Yesterday afternoon, after saying goodbye to the others, Cao Yan left the city and returned to Zhuangzi.

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, someone sent window flowers early, the three girls of Cao Yan's family, for the work of cutting paper, are a little powerless, although Cao Yan can cut, but this is the work assigned to women, he is not embarrassed to interfere.

Spring Festival paper-cutting also has a long history, and many places still retain this tradition, the ancients would cut out the chicken pattern and paste it on the window to welcome the dawn of the new year.

After eating breakfast in the morning.

Cao Yan, who stayed at home and had nothing to do, asked Lin Ruyi to carry the big firecrackers in this bamboo basket, holding a stick of incense in his hand, and preparing to go to the river to fry fish or the field to fry voles.

This time, because of the cottage people, all came out for the festival.

Everyone's horrible pets were all brought out.

Including Cao Yan's little white tiger, as well as those children's wild boars, tigers, leopards, and wolves.

But now the little white tiger can't be called a little tiger, and now it has grown as strong as an adult South China tiger.

In this family, what it is most afraid of should be Lin Yiru, when she was brought the day before yesterday, as soon as she saw her, she lay directly on the ground, revealing her white belly.

The second thing I'm afraid of is Lin Ruyi, maybe it's because Lin Ruyi is a ruthless stubble who killed his mother, and he was born with a kind of suppression of it.

Finally, Lin Yueru and Cao Yan are the last ones.

I don't know how the people in the mountains raise it, but its animal nature is still very strong.

There's always a hint of aggression.

Because of this, the little tiger was led by an iron chain, and an iron sleeve was put around his mouth, there were too many children here, and Cao Yan was still afraid that it would get out of control.

"Brother-in-law, Sister Ruyi, where are you going?" While passing by the large cement lawn of Zhuangzi, Cao Yan met the children who also came here to walk around their pets.

Cao Yan looked at the bamboo basket in Lin Ruyi's hand, and then glanced around, there were a few children around, and his eyes rolled, "I'll go to the river to slip around." ”

Although Cao Yan's movements in watching the bamboo basket are very hidden, many children still pay attention.

"Brother-in-law, we'll go too." Basically none of the people present shouted.

I'll go! Cao Yan glanced at them, why are you so clever? These children always have a natural instinct for things that can take advantage of themselves.

But that's fine, so as not to do it yourself, and when the time comes, when the fish is fried, let them drive the boat to catch it.

"Let's go!" Cao Yan did not refuse, and took the lead and walked towards the other side of the river.

……

"Wait......"

Seeing a lump of fresh cow on the side of the road, Cao Yan stopped everyone from moving forward.

"If you don't explode in case of, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" Cao Yan sighed twice, looked at the cow in front of him, and said with emotion, and it was such a big lump.

"What do you mean by big brother-in-law?" The children around me obviously didn't understand what this meant.

Cao Yan didn't explain to them, but asked, "That, who wants to light a fire?" ”

"I, I'm ......" There was no accident, and everyone raised their hands.

looked at the two strong brothers Lin Erzhuang and Lin Sanzhuang who squeezed everyone aside.

Cao Yan handed the two of them incense and firecrackers, and the professor said, "Wait a minute, stick this end of this thing into the cow dung, then light it with incense, and run away, understand?" ”

"Understood, eldest brother-in-law, we know," the two brothers smiled wickedly at Cao Yan, although they had never played with firecrackers before, but the explosives Bao Lin Dazhuang still took them to see it, looking at this circle with a diameter the size of a copper coin and a height of eight or nine centimeters, it looked like a small explosive bag, how could they not know?

Moreover, his father once inadvertently mentioned that the first time they were almost blown up into stupid pasts, they didn't know the importance of running, and they still had to run with Cao Yan.

"It's good to understand," Seeing the treacherous laughter of the two brothers, Cao Yan, who also had bad intentions, did not remind the children who were gathered around, but took Lin Ruyi to quickly hide in the distance, and finally stopped the little tiger in front of himself and Lin Ruyi, so that it could block the unknown accident for the two.

Of course, there are also smart ones, and when they saw Cao Yan running away, they also ran away.

And those who are not smart and not afraid of death, they didn't hide far, they just casually took more than ten steps back, and then they didn't leave, they wanted to see the effect of the explosion up close.
