"Uncle, I need to prepare more food today." A few more days passed. Early this morning, Li Chen got up, woke up a few children, and prepared for morning exercise. As soon as she saw him, Ah Xiang said like this.

'Oh, by the way, are you getting better?' Li Chen didn't react for a while, answered, and asked how Ah Xiang was doing.

"I'm fine, but Sister Xiaohong said that it's probably about to change the big head, and we need to prepare a few more sets of preparations ourselves." Ah Xiang said a little helplessly, "Haha, this is a good thing, it means that you have all grown up." Li Chen laughed, turned his head, and then remembered.

Strange, why prepare more, the Tang Dynasty didn't have a refrigerator. Modern people have to get used to it, the more you buy the refrigerator, the bigger it gets, and some things can't be eaten, put it in the refrigerator, and eat it another day. But in the Tang Dynasty, if you don't finish eating today, it will be bad tomorrow. Therefore, at home, except for vegetables and fruits, there are few cooked foods that are left overnight.

'Tomorrow is the Winter Food Festival. Ah Xiang was so angry that she glanced at Li Chen, and sure enough, Sister Xiaohong was Uncle Xi, and she had already reminded her that she should remember to remind her uncle.

'You can't make a fire during the Cold Food Festival. So prepare some food in advance. Ah Xiang continued, 'Oh. Li Chen sighed twice.

To be honest, this Winter Food Festival seems to have become a symbol in the future. It became a historical story, so he didn't have any impressions and feelings at all. As a result, in the Tang Dynasty, it became really related to life.

'So what do you have to prepare?' Li Chen looked at Ah Xiang, recently Ah Xiang has a tendency to change to the housekeeper's wife, since it is proposed, then you should know it, it is very troublesome not to make a fire.

'That's... Generally speaking, there seem to be four kinds of food, and I am not afraid of not having to eat it. Ah Xiang scratched her cheeks for the reluctance, "It's just that I used to eat it, so I don't know what to do." ’

'Oh, go buy it, you can buy it.' Li Chen was a little disappointed, "No need to buy it, Sister Xiaohong will come over later, she said..."

Sister Xiaohong said, worried that some stupid big man would starve our family of eight to death. "Nonsense, it's just a day of not eating, it's great to fry two pieces of bread before going to bed at night." Li Chen is also pretending to be angry, so this is just an excuse for Xiaohong. I've known each other for so long, and I'm still so shy.

'Hee-hee... Ha ha.... ''Ahem... Do you know the origin of the Winter Food Festival? Li Chen thought of getting along in private, Xiaohong looked shy, and suddenly became a nymphomaniac, and was taking them to do gymnastics, but he also slowed down. provoked a few people to squeeze each other's eyebrows, and after Li Chen came back to his senses, he covered up the origin of the Cold Food Festival.

The source of the Cold Food Festival is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Gongzi Chong'er was persecuted and fled from the Jin Kingdom with a group of courtiers. One day they went to a place, ran out of food, everyone was cold and hungry, Gongzi Chong'er thought he was going to starve to death, but at this time, one of his courtiers pushed him and brought him a bowl of broth to eat. ’

Heavy Ear took the broth and quickly finished it. That's when he remembered how this meat came from. Jie Zhi pushed up his robe and said, this is the meat on my leg, if the son is not enough, I can also cut the outside side. ’

'Wow, this courtier is so faithful. This is Xiaohu's reaction, "It will hurt a lot, cut your thigh." 'This is Ah Xiang and Big Head. 'Is human flesh delicious?' It's a fat ball. 'Tsk, this is a push, and it doesn't move Chong'er to death. 'This is the second dog.

'What are you doing by cutting your thighs, if you cut your thighs, he can't walk now, so don't you want people to pestering him.' There is already no food, and it will be more troublesome to delay it like this. The puppy had to react. Li Chen has always had an attitude, he loves to tell stories, and he always uses storytelling to teach children by word and deed. It can also be known from several children's different reactions to know their values.

The puppy is right, the situation was unfathomable a thousand years ago, and you can put yourself in your shoes and think about what you would do if you were to find yourself in this situation. ’

Today, no matter what situation we encounter, such as the predicament of a heavy-eared monarch or minister, or being deceived and hurt by others, we must learn, sum up experience, and don't let ourselves be at a loss the next time we encounter it. He was deceived once, and it was his fault. If someone cheats you in the same way the second time, you will blame yourself for not being careful. ’

"Uncle, you better hurry up and talk about what happened later", "Yes, yes, Uncle hates it the most, often starts to teach people in the middle of the story, and he never finishes it later." Under the protest of the children, Li Chen continued.

Later, with the help of the Qin State, Chong'er finally returned to the Jin Kingdom as the king. At the beginning, the courtiers who followed him into exile were rewarded with the title, but he forgot to push it. ’

'Jie Zhitui returned to China in Chong'er, and after becoming the Duke of Jin Wen, he went to seclusion. Gong Wen even forgot about him. But when he finally remembered it, he sent someone to recruit him and reward him heavily. But Jie Zhitui refused to accept it, and even hid in the mountains with his old mother behind his back, and Gong Wen set fire to the mountain. I want to force him out. ’

But who would have thought that Jiezhitui would not be able to survive the mountain, and finally held a willow tree and was burned to death. Jin Wengong was very sad, and in the future, he took this day as the cold food festival, forbade fire, and people also wore willow rings and planted willow trees to commemorate him. ’

After listening to the allusions of the Cold Food Festival, several children had to discuss it again, and some people said that Jiezhitui was too arrogant, and the king came to invite him personally, but he refused to accept it. The word tsundere was also learned from Li Chen, because they often heard Li Chen describe Xiaohong like this.

This set off another storm, he described Xiaohong as very tsundere, but this was relayed by the children, causing Xiaohong to pinch his ears and ask him what tsundere meant. Li Chen desperately explained that this means that a person is very proud, delicate and beautiful. Xiaohong let him go, and then after Li Chen came back, he gave this group of hairy children a little lesson, and let them punish them for writing, I don't dare to chew the root of my tongue in the future, a hundred times.

Returning to the main story, after the operation, Li Chen finished the story, and some children felt that it was Jin Wengong who should not have been, and it seemed that he didn't take Jiezhitui to heart at all, otherwise how could he forget this loyal minister.

'Jie Zhitui is too stupid, if I were his mother, I would have to ask him to stand up, so that I could get more rewards, otherwise the thigh meat would be cut so painfully, and I would not be paid at all, and it would be too worthwhile. The big head said angrily.

'You're, the big head wants to get married~. Ah Xiang laughed at her, so angry that she scratched Ah Xiang's body, and Ah Xiang, who raised her, desperately begged for mercy.

'So happy early in the morning, is there anything good today?' At this time, Xiaohong came, Ah Xiang hurriedly got rid of the clutches of the big head, and told Xiaohong the allusion to the cold food festival that Li Chen had just said.

It's not what Jin Wengong and Jiezhi pushed. Xiaohong said with a smile, "This custom has been around since the end of the Zhou Dynasty. ’

It turned out that the custom of cold food knots existed in the Zhou Dynasty, and the ban on fire was mentioned in Zhou Li, Qiu Guan, and Si Xuan's clan. Generally speaking, the date of the Cold Food Festival is not necessarily the day. And it is prescribed one hundred and fifteen days after the winter solstice. The reason for this is related to the saying that heaven and man are one and all things are animist.

It is not easy for the ancients to make a fire, so everything will be cooked under the bottom of the fire, Li Chen is like this in their store.

However, according to the theory that animism is good, fire will be eroded after a cold winter, and it will also be contaminated with evil, and the old fire needs to be extinguished and a new fire must be born. In the Tang Dynasty, it was generally one day to extinguish the fire, and it was said that in the Han Dynasty, it took three days. Xiaohong said, "The Han Dynasty was even longer before, and it seemed that the fire was going to be banned for a month, and I really don't know how the descendants would live at that time." You can't light a fire for a month. ’

'Flowers fly everywhere in the spring city, the cold food east wind and the slanted willows, the candles of the Han officials at dusk, and the light smoke disperse into the Wuhou family', 'Proud, as far as you have heard, even the cold food node is nonsense. Speaking of the Cold Food Festival, Li Chen shook his head and finished reading this poem, and after showing it, he was expecting to be praised by Xiaohong, but in exchange for this sentence.

The old fire is extinguished during the Cold Food Festival, and a new fire is made the next day, which is the ordinary people. As for the ministers of Chang'an, Emperor Lao Tzu is even responsible for this. Poets of the Tang Dynasty used to take the Tang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, and in Chang'an, on the second day of the Cold Food Festival, the court would give new fire to the ministers. Sticks made of elm or willow trees pass the sacred fire, and if wrong, pass a new fire. When a courtier is rewarded, when a new fire is introduced, he will stick a fire in the door of his house.

"Xiaohong, actually, we can make those things ourselves. I'm sorry to let you make a special trip. Although he was not appreciated, Li Chen was also very happy.

Because reading Tang poems in the Tang Dynasty, there is always a sense of the times, and Tang poems are no longer just words, but seem to have become a very close thing in life. There is also a feeling of being in the times and creating the times. It's a very touching feeling.

"I didn't come here for you, I don't want some stupid big guy who doesn't even know about the Cold Food Festival and starve Ah Xiang and them to death." Xiaohong felt good about Li Chen, rolled her eyes, and then applauded and said, "Children, tomorrow will be cold, and we will have to prepare some food today." Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be nowhere to buy. ’

Xiaohong took the lead, Li Chen followed, took a few boys to the market, and began to buy. After buying a lot of things, I went to the liquor store kitchen and started to prepare.

came to the wine shop, put things down, and then Xiaohong went back, in fact, the wine shop has a chef, unless it is the same as Li Chen, how can I not know how to do it.

Of course, he also knows what to prepare for the Winter Food Festival? Therefore, except for Li Chen's solemn face and thanking Xiaohong with a serious face, several children snickered.

'Laughing at what, isn't it a business today?' Li Chenhu blushed, "I dare to laugh, if you Xiaohong sister finds out, I will eat the chop, and I will reward you with a meal of fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots." ’

'Uncle, what is fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots? Fat Ball asked, 'Is it delicious?' I'm going to eat', do... It seems that the Tang Dynasty hasn't even appeared to stir-fry vegetables, how can there be fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, but it doesn't prevent Li Chen from demonstrating. Picked up the bamboo broom, and made a gesture to spank, and immediately the children laughed and laughed, and the birds and beasts scattered, and they were busy with their own things.
