Chapter 138: Coaxing a Girl
There is no bell, the year is the same, there is no moon everyone knows that it is late at night, and the cold outside the Chinese New Year's Eve after the snow, the cold wind roars and howls, raising the snow.
According to the ancient custom, if you want to eat dumplings at midnight, you have to take the word medicine, which represents the passing of the year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Ling took her small bowl and circled the dumplings, one was hot, and the other was that Lingling had never eaten dumplings, a northern food, and she couldn't pick it up, so Lingling, who was angry, kept pouting.
"Sister Xuan'er, why do you eat dumplings? Lingling can't clip it! The little girl said angrily.
This really stumped Xuan'er, and Xuan'er led the troubles to the east, "You ask the young master, he made it very clear." ”
Lingling sighed, "Master Big Bad Wolf, why do you want to eat dumplings?" ”
Gao Chong was clinking glasses with the six sledgehammers, and said with a smile: "Lingling wants to hear the story, it's easy to say, wait for the young master to drink this glass of wine, and tell it to you." ”
"No! Lingling is going to listen now. Lingling jumped off her chair and climbed onto Gao Chong's lap, Zhang hurriedly came to hug her, but Lingling tossed and refused to go.
Gao Chong said, "It's okay, Sister-in-law Zhang, let the little girl sit." ”
Lingling sat on Gao Chong's lap with a smile, "Young Master Big Bad Wolf, speak quickly, Lingling is waiting to listen." ”
Gao Chong cleared his throat, since he wanted to make it clear with emotion, "The origin of this dumpling is still more complicated, dumplings generally have to be wrapped before the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and eat until midnight, which is the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month, eating dumplings takes: the meaning of changing the age of the child, when the son is the son, the coincidence and the dumpling homonym, there is a happy reunion and auspicious wishes, there are many legends about eating dumplings during the New Year, one is to commemorate the Pangu clan's opening of the world and ending the mixed state, and the other is to take its homonym with the hoarding, which means full of food. In addition, the folk saying that eating dumplings is also related to Nuwa's creation of people. In order to make the ears not fixed, Nuwa pierced a small eye on the ears of the people, tied the ears with a thin thread, and put the other end of the thread in the mouth of the loess people to bite it, so that the ears could be done. In order to commemorate Nuwa's exploits, the common people wrapped dumplings, pinched the shape of people's ears with noodles, and wrapped them with stuffing (thread), and ate them with their mouths. ”
Lingling sighed, "It's still so complicated!" Master Big Bad Wolf, who made the dumplings first? ”
"Dumplings originate from ancient slots. Dumplings were originally known as Jiao'er, according to legend, it was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in the Han Dynasty, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Zhangyi wrote the book "Guangya", this food was mentioned. ”
"How does the young master know so much?" Lingling's face was adored.
Gao Chong laughed: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, in the future, Lingling will read more to Sister Xuan'er, don't run all over the street." ”
"Hmm." Lingling nodded heavily, "What is Yan Ruyu?" Golden House Lingling understands that a house made of gold! is richer than the big bad wolf young master, what is Yan Ruyu? Just looked at Gao Chong with a look of curiosity, Gao Chong was stunned, how can this Yan Ruyu explain?
These two sentences are from Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng's "Encouragement of Learning" Zhao Kuangyin took the Chen Bridge Mutiny and opened the Great Song Dynasty, but this made him mentally and physically vigilant, so he formulated an important national policy to depreciate the participation of martial artists in politics, establish a scholar system, and appoint civil servants to local governors across the country. The country generally used so many civil servants for a while, and during the long-term war in the five dynasties of the Song Dynasty, ordinary people did not like to read, and even fewer read well. Therefore, in order to implement the established national policy, the imperial court must, on the one hand, open up the way for scholars to ascend to the throne, and on the other hand, strive to promote the atmosphere of reading. Song Zhenzong Zhao Hengyu wrote the "Encouragement of Learning" himself, spreading the world, this short chapter, intoxicated by the world's scholars, nearly a thousand years.
Just talking to a little girl who is less than ten years old about these things, Gao Chong really couldn't open his mouth, and Gao Chong also led the trouble: "This Sister Xuan'er talks better." ”
Lingling looked incredulous: "Does Sister Xuan'er know how to tell stories?" ”
Xuan'er was listening with relish, and suddenly Gao Chong threw the question over, Xuan'er didn't want to take it, so she followed Lingling's meaning and said, "Sister Xuan'er doesn't know either." ”
Lingling twisted her little face back and waited for Gao Chong to answer.
Gao Chong scratched his head, "This Yan Ruyu is a beautiful little girl like Lingling." ”
"How could a little girl run into a book?" Lingling asked persistently.
"She wants to read."
"Oh, I think if I want to read, I have to run to the book." Lingling's face suddenly realized. A few girls were just over there smiling, this young master was really good at coaxing girls, no matter how big or small the girls were.
said okay, Xuan'er came to sleep with her tonight, and finally went to bed, Gao Chong tossed and turned, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken a bath yet, so how could he eat Xuan'er?
was suffering from gains and losses, but Lingling broke in, "Master Big Bad Wolf, Lingling wants to listen to the story." He said as he climbed into bed.
What is the rhythm of this? If you come to listen to the story, won't the good deeds of the young master be disturbed by you? What about Xuan'er?
As soon as I thought of this, I saw the graceful Xuan'er walking in slowly, avoiding Gao Chong's eyes for help, and said slowly: "Sister Zhang wants to keep vigil, so the little girl came to listen to the story." "The subtext is that Lingling will pester you tonight, and you can't do anything. Gao Chong couldn't help but be stunned.
In the end, Gao Chong really didn't do anything.
Lingling is clamoring to listen to stories, Gao Chong has no choice, but Gao Chong is not good at telling stories, how can there be so many stories? As soon as Gao Chong had an idea, he told "Journey to the West" to Lingling, but he didn't expect to attract the big girl Xuan'er too, and the three of them slept while talking.
The new year begins, but Gao Chong is a little anxious, how can he rush with such heavy snow? The time given by the military department is very tight, how to go about the heavy snow to close the road?
"Young master, I've found a way to get there." Ulan Toya ran in excitedly and said.
"How?" Gao Chong's spirit was shocked.
Ulan Toya ran outside the store with Gao Chong, pointed to an object and said, "Young Master, this is it!" ”
What is this? Sled!
This is a common means of transportation in winter in eastern Liaodong, in addition to sleds and skis.
Gao Chong is overjoyed.
Rich and easy to do, driven by money, the shop owner quickly found the sleigh that Gao Chong needed, plus the benefit fee of the boss for a total of sixty hanging money, Gao Chong didn't say a word to settle it at one time, plus the boss's store, a total of one hundred hanging money, the boss said too much too much and didn't need it.
Gao Chong waved his hand and said, "Reward you." ”
In the great gratitude of the owner, everyone loaded everything into the sleigh, and the carriage was given to the shopkeeper, who sent them away almost with tears in his eyes. If he knew what the stones he almost gave to Gao Chong were, he was afraid that he would have the mind to dismantle Gao Chong, and now he only has gratitude to Gao Chong.
