In the third year of Huichang, the first day of the first month. Li Chen was woken up by the sound of crackers. Early in the morning, it usually takes half a day to wake them up, and they wake up automatically, earlier than Li Chen. Li Chen, who was old last night, was late because he went to bed late.

'Happy New Year, Uncle Li. After setting off the firecrackers, he rushed into Li Chen's room a few times, and wanted to wake Li Chen up, the New Year, there were many activities, and sleeping was the most wasteful time.

'Don't bother me. Let me sleep until I die. In the past few days, Li Chen has been so busy that he still has to get up, but he is still confused.

'Uncle Thirteen, when are you going to marry Sister Xiaohong? Ah Xiang didn't open a pot and mentioned a pot, "You guys, go and prepare a New Year's breakfast for me." Li Chen roared, and several children didn't care, and ran away with a smile.

'I won't marry you if I marry a pig or a dog.' ''I will marry you if I turn a pig into a dog.'' Several children shouted while running away, so angry that Li Chen woke up.

A few days ago, he told Xiaohong on impulse that he wanted to marry her. On the spot, Xiaohong was stunned. Seize the opportunity, although he is not a veteran of the love field, but he has seen pigs walking and eaten pork, Li Chen, plucked up the courage, took a step forward, and wanted to kiss it, as a result...

'Ahem. Fauber suddenly appeared like a ghost, beating the mandarin ducks, or ruining the good deeds of a bad person. Li Chen gritted his teeth secretly, and Xiaohong jumped away like a frightened rabbit.

"That, I just said something, Xiaohong, you think about it. ''Mouth. Xiaohong tilted her head to the side, not wanting people to see her flushed face, but her neck was so white that everything was exposed, "Who... Who will marry you? I won't marry you if I marry a pig or a dog. ''Then I will marry you when I turn into a pig and a dog.'' When the time comes, you will marry a pig and a pig, and a dog and a dog. ’

Xiaohong didn't dump Li Chen, her hair flicked and she turned around and flew as if she had to escape into the door, leaving Li Chen and Fu Bo, Li Chen was a little embarrassed, "Good evening Fu Bo." Li Chen scratched his hair, "Happy New Year, that, oh yes, this is a gift, thank you for taking care of it, the gift is ready." Li Chen handed over the pattern of the door god that he forgot to give to Xiaohongde to Fu Bo.

Fauber took it with a blank face, and then continued to stare at him expressionlessly. This made Li Chen feel that he was not alone, he was not alone, Alexander's soul was possessed through time and space. Uncle, don't be scolded, no, uncle, don't stare, your eyes are so wide, aren't you tired?

Just when Li Chen couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to say something, a giggle came, "Who... Who will marry you? I won't marry you if I marry a pig or a dog. This is Ah Xiangde's voice, "Then I will marry you when I turn into a pig and a dog." When the time comes, you will marry a pig and a pig, and a dog and a dog. This is the puppy.

Li Chen turned his head and saw that there were more than two, and six came. The stupid baby didn't come, because he was a little stupid, in order to act secretly, in order to be able to sneak up with Lichen and Xiaohong, only six came.

Seeing Li Chen look over, a few children coaxed the ground, turned their heads and ran, and while running, there was a rumor, what kind of pig and dog, Li Chen was angry enough, but it also saved Li Chen, Li Chen was immediately angry, and the soles of his feet were oiled and chased after him.

'Get up. Let's have breakfast first. Although he was busy for the New Year, Li Chen was made fun of by that group of children in the past few days. Li Chen is just feigning anger, he also knows that a child at this age is the most suitable for curiosity about this kind of thing, (meow, if you really want a cave room, you must keep an eye on these leather monkeys, otherwise this group of skin monkeys can do anything.) ）

Li Chen went to the kitchen first, took hot water to wash his face, the water temperature was just right, and it would be cold a little later. In the Tang Dynasty, there were no convenient heating tools, such as electric bowls, electric spoons, and gas stoves.

(Were there any handy heating tools that could be used in the Tang Dynasty?) It's okay in Changshou Temple, because there are a lot of people, and there will be hot water in the Xiangzhu kitchen at any time. But now, ordinary houses are nerve-wracking.

Li Chen was stunned for a while, thinking about what modern heating methods could take effect in the Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, as if I had something to gain, but I couldn't grasp that thought, so I could only put it down for the time being, praying that this day would be warmed up sooner.

After washing, Li Chen entered the main hall, several children finished burning firecrackers, and had returned to the main hall, listening for a while, only to hear the children discuss the stall again, red envelopes? Didn't anyone find out?

It's a pity that there is no stall this year. 'Yes, that's a pity.' Pengcheng has actually been gone for many years. ''Then we were last year.'' "Last year, I went to Lu Lianghong to see it. A few children were talking about something, Li Chen listened carefully, and it turned out to be a stall.

In Li Chen's view, this is the Halloween parade in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone paraded together in ghost masks. Let's have a good time. I watched it once on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, and Li Chen was still looking forward to it. I expected that Xuzhou would be more lively than Cangfang Town, but I didn't expect that this year's Thorn History Mansion had approved it, but the change of the order was not allowed to drive the stalls, which made the people complain.

Without the stall, Li Chen took a few disappointed children home. In fact, there are still some other activities on Chinese New Year's Eve, such as some firecrackers. Families set fires in their yards and carry out incineration work.

In fact, it is to burn some old, bad, and unwanted fires in the yard, and the Tang Dynasty people have already appeared homemade incinerators.

Well, Li Chen said that the author said that he wanted to preach, modern people can't imitate, every household in the Tang Dynasty had a yard, and if it was burned in the yard, if something went wrong, it would not affect the neighbors. Modern people don't have a yard, you imitate it in the corridor or balcony, in case of fire or something, the author is not responsible. If you accidentally implicate your neighbors, don't say that you learned from reading this book.

Adults burn sundries, children burn firecrackers, put a section of bamboo into the fire to burn, it will produce an explosion sound, legend has it that in order to distinguish the beast, with this sound to scare it.

However, after a burn, it was dull. I didn't prepare that much, and the rest will have to burn tomorrow morning. Li Chen took them to play again, until the time of the child.

Li Chen took them to play with two people and three legs, each found a combination, and tied one foot of the two people with a cloth. Li Chen brought a group of stupid babies, this kid is stupid, unless they really don't have a choice, otherwise they would rather find a more flexible one.

Because the people around are so noisy, there is no noise. Some of the families gathered around the courtyard, dancing and singing, and circling around the fire. Some set up a banquet in the courtyard and ate and drank by the light of the fire. Some families even found a music class and started playing musical instruments.

Li Chen was reluctant to dare to go to sleep, and it was not good for children to stay up late, and it was easy to affect their development. LI CHEN WAS SURPRISED THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE TANG DYNASTY WERE PLAYING SO HIGH, AND AT THE SAME TIME SECRETLY THOUGHT TO HIMSELF, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO COME TO THE COURTYARD TO HAVE A BARBECUE MEETING NEXT YEAR.

'Blessing extends the new day, and the birthday celebration is boundless. When the time comes, congratulations to each other and the end of the year. Li Chen dared them to go to sleep. Then go back to the room and take out the red envelope that you have prepared in advance. The Tang people did not have the custom of giving red envelopes, which Li Chen prepared by himself.

Li Chen waited until several children fell asleep, they had been busy for so many days, and it was because of that strength that they were not tired. So as soon as I dipped in the pillow, I fell asleep quickly. Li Chen sneaked into the room, stuffed a red envelope under everyone's head, and then yawned and went to sleep.

'Everyone, look at what I've found under my pillow. Look at the pillows. Just as Li Chen was thinking about whether to remind them, the big head ran in from the main gate and shouted. 'What can be found, what can we find besides our hair.' The puppy smiled, "The red envelope, there is also a New Year's money in it." Uncle gave us it. The children looked at each other, and then ran away all at once.

At this time, Li Chen happily entered the restaurant, thinking that he had finally found out at zero o'clock. But they can't be blamed for this, after all, the Tang people don't have this habit.

'Fuqing is new, and Shoulu is extended. When several children found the red envelope and gathered back to the restaurant to worship each other, Ah Xiang and Datou brought the New Year's breakfast, and Li Chen wanted to announce the meal.

Tang New Year's breakfast, as mentioned many chapters before, is to drink Tusu wine or pepper cypress wine. No matter what the name of this wine is, it is uniformly called De Sui during the Chinese New Year, and it should be drunk by the youngest child. A few children are really pushing me now, and no one likes to drink this.

But it's useless to push, you have to drink it for the New Year, even if you start from the youngest, everyone will have your turn, 'When will I celebrate the New Year, I don't have to drink this wine,,, ' Xiaohu had a bitter face, he was the last to drink. The first to drink was fat balls, but in fact, these children are not much older.

After drinking the New Year's wine, followed by the Wuxin plate, Li Chen chewed and swallowed slowly, not feeling bitter, but several children were choked and stuck out their tongues, and after eating, they couldn't wait to eat gum tooth dumplings.

饧 (sound peers), is the meaning of syrup. In modern times, this should be called maltose. Made with barley, wheat, or glutinous rice. This thing appeared earlier than sucrose in China. The method of making sucrose was introduced from India in the early Tang Dynasty. Maltose, on the other hand, was a dessert earlier.

Originally, this thing should have been eaten by the old man first, because it was very sticky to the teeth, which was just a test of the strength of the old man's teeth. However, Li Chen's family gift does not have any old people, so it doesn't matter.

Next, it's the main meal, it's so hot that the soup prison pills are on the table, even Li Chen can't help drooling, dumplings, dumplings, Li Chen's favorite dumplings.

Li Chen couldn't wait to eat the dumplings, and took a bite of it, that beauty. At this time, several children took a look at each other and said together, wishing Uncle Thirteen a beautiful return in the new year.

Li Chen squirted out with a mouthful of water, 'Cough! Cough! Who taught you? 'It's Uncle Judge.' ''King! Examine! Speech. A lifetime of earth-shattering roar came out of the Li Mansion and drifted into the distance. The judgment of the king, who was accepting the New Year's greetings from his children and grandchildren, shivered with excitement, it was really strange, why did it suddenly get cold on this day.
