The seventh day of the first month, the day of the first month. On this day, after Li Chen's routine morning exercise, he washed his face a little and went into the kitchen.

'Uncle, what are you going to do?' Fat Ball asked, "Why did you get into the kitchen so early?" 'I'm hungry.' "I'll go and stay for a while, and I'll give you something to eat later." ''Oh. Fat Ball answered, and then stepped aside to watch Li Chen busy.

'Okay, the dough is kneaded. Next.... Knead the dough vigorously, pinch the surface, it is very smooth, and then Li Chen kneaded the dough into a long strip and then divided it into sections.

'Why did you all run in. Li Chen was dividing the dough into almost the same size and forming a round rod, when suddenly the corner of his eyes flashed, and when he turned his head, all the seven children had gathered, and they said in unison, "We are hungry." ’

'Don't worry, it'll be fine soon. Li Chen then smeared the round dough with oil, and then sprinkled the green onion evenly, "I know, Uncle is going to make a branch cake." Fat Ball shouted, 'It turned out to be a cake.' ''The bread is delicious, I like to eat it very much, and the green onion is so fragrant. "It turned out to be a branch cake, and I thought my uncle was going to make some mysterious dishes." Xiaohu looked at the dough in a daze, just wanting the dough to become a cake as soon as possible.

Li Chen didn't care what they said, he concentrated on kneading the cake, first rolling the round cake into a ball, and then kneading it, so as to knead the green onion evenly. Then, grease the pan and preheat it. Then put the bread on it.

'It's so fragrant. Fat Ball sniffled. After frying for a while, Li Chen turned the cake over and turned it twice, so that the cake was evenly heated and avoided sticking to the pan.

'Why is this bread so flat?' I remember that the bread was very thick. Ergou wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked, "It shouldn't have swelled yet." Will it go up slowly? The puppy explained, "But it seems to be almost ripe." ’

'It's not a pancake, it's called a scallion pancake. Li Chen turned the cake over again, and when he saw that it was almost there, he got out of the pot. Place on a dipping board and cut into eight pieces.

'It's delicious, it's delicious. In an instant, seven hands stretched out, and they were not afraid of being hot, so they stuffed the noodles into their mouths, and generally exhaled, while shouting delicious. Li Chen didn't care about eating, and then put another cake into the pot. The rest of the cake was snatched away by the fat ball with a fast hand, and he was so angry that he kicked him with a big head, "Uncle hasn't eaten it yet." ’

'It's okay, you eat first. This one is almost ready, too. Li Chen's forehead was sweating, "Help take a look at the fire." The second dog went down to see the stove, and then picked out several coals from the charcoal pile on the side and threw them in.

Today, how could Li Chen make cakes on a whim? First, it is the New Year, and many small vendors are resting, so it is not easy to buy. Second, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the people, and you should eat pancakes today. But basically, pasta that has been fried in oil can be called pancakes. Li Chen just had itchy hands and a greedy mouth, and wanted to remember the scallion pancakes he hadn't eaten for a long time, so he cooked himself.

This one is more fragrant than the biscuits. When I ate the second one, the fat ball was not like the starving ghost reincarnation just now, and I still had time to taste it.

Of course, the bread is not greased. The green onion cake is thick, and the scallion pancake is thin. The scallion cake should be made to swell, and the scallion pancake should not be used, the thinner the better.

Next, the scene shifts to the restaurant. After frying several sheets, Li Chen transferred the cake to the dining room, which was connected to the kitchen. Li Chen was slowly nibbling on the cake on the dining table, and from time to time he took a sip of vegetable soup.

Speaking of this vegetable soup, it is also exquisite, at least Li Chen has not heard of it in later generations, probably because modern people are less concerned.

This vegetable soup is a seven-vegetable soup, and there is no special provision for which seven kinds of dishes, because it is the same season, but in different places, the time and fresh food that can be eaten are different, but in general, each place is fixed, after all, ancient times are not modern, but there are no imported frozen vegetables to eat. So Li Chen's bowl of seven-vegetable soup still has fish and meat in it. So, you can call it vegetable soup.

'Are you ready to win?' When he was almost done, Li Chen asked, "It's ready." Ah Xiang happily raised her hand and replied, inviting Gong and said, "This is what I and Datou have prepared." ’。

'Oh, it's so fragrant. Looks like I'm here at the right time. At this time, a voice came, and a man came uninvited.

'No, I'm sorry. Li Chen hurriedly brought the cake on the table to him, and the person who came smiled bitterly, "Class master, it's been so many days." You're still angry. The person who came was naturally Wang Xuanling, and the king judged it.

I packed up my stuff and set off. Li Chen didn't look at him and said to a few children. A few people went down to the table one after another, and only Ah Xiang brought a plate of scallion pancakes to Wang Xianyan.

'Or Ah Xiang is the most well-behaved. Wang Xianyan nibbled on the bread and praised, "It is so fragrant." Among the seven elementary schools, Wang Xianyan hurt Ah Xiang and Fat Ball the most, without him, these two children had better grades.

After Wang Xianyan came, he didn't have to work to get a living, and he also began to help Li Chen with classes. However, when he takes classes, he is not as vivid as Li Chen, so he will read according to the book. Naturally, it can't arouse the interest of the children, and in the seven elementary schools, it seems that it is better to learn Ah Xiang and Fat Ball.

'Bring the color win, and we set off. Modern people, the Chinese New Year is only the fifth day of the new year. But the ancients didn't count the New Year until the Shangyuan Festival, Li Chen and they were also considered to be working overtime, and they started work as usual during the New Year, there was no way, at this time, the money was easy to earn, and the service industry had to be done, how could anyone take a break for the New Year.

'What a joy. Not bad', Li Chen sighed. Pushing the cart to the street, many places on the street are full of flowers, everyone is happy, and the weather is good, which indicates a good weather in the year.

Today, a few small people are wearing new leather jackets for the New Year. They were very careful to wear new clothes, and they made new clothes half a month ago, and they endured to put them on until the New Year. I wore it for two days on the first and second days of junior high school, and then I put it away, and I took it out again today, and I cherished it and put it on.

Can you not cherish it? In the past, they had a decent New Year, they didn't freeze to death in winter, and they were very lucky to have a bite to eat. How can it be like now, wearing new clothes, a leather jacket and a silk coat over it, which is very warm.

Several children are more than ten years old after the New Year, and they used to remember that in winter, they could only hope to pick up a few shabby and ill-fitting old clothes, and then stuff them into the reeds, otherwise people would discard them and not get dirty silk threads. Reed flowers don't keep warm? Of course I don't keep warm, otherwise what to do, there is nothing available. Thousands of years ago, Min Ziqian's stepmother didn't stuff reeds into his winter coat, and she didn't freeze him to death.

If it's a precious new garment, why wear it today? Because today's human day, the head must be matched with a lottery to win.

Li Chen didn't know about this custom last year, and he wasted all his time in the temple all day, and he didn't even notice Caisheng, ******** he was listening to the play.

Now on the street, although it is still early, there are already many people. You can see people coming and going, both men and women, and you can see all kinds of colorful ornaments on their heads.

There are many forms of color wins, including insects, fish, birds and beasts, flowers and plants. The material is also informal, ordinary to use a variety of colors to get colored paper, a better to use color silk, silk, more high-end, gold, silver, pearls and jade can be used.

Li Chen looked at Ah Xiang, who was happily walking in front, her head was a thing similar to a paper doll, and she wore it on her head like this, this is called Rensheng. It is said that it has many functions, and it is said that it can summon spirits, ward off evil spirits, send ghosts, exorcise ghosts, town houses, pray for rain, etc., which is really a great universal type.

In addition to human victory, there is also a banner victory, like a flag. Caihua, I don't need to say it, you know. Huasheng, the meaning is the same as before, and Hua is equivalent to flowers. In addition, it is Jin Sheng, Li Shangyin's clouds, carved gold to win and spread Jing customs, and cut ribbons for people to promote the style. , Jin Sheng is made of gold.

By the way, do you have to put it all up at home? Li Chen looked at the flowers, and after many people had to post Caisheng on the door, he suddenly thought about whether he had to post it.

'It's pasted. It's pasted. ’。 On this day, Caisheng should not only be worn on the head, but also pasted on the doors, windows, and screens. Thousands of purples and thousands of reds, as if spring arrived in the world early.

Pushing the cart, they finally arrived at Shengming Temple, Li Chen found that they were late, they were fixed in their positions, and there were already audiences waiting.

'Hurry up, I thought there weren't many people on the road, but they were all here. As long as the weather is good, the Tang people will have the custom of climbing and writing poems on the day of the people, and climb together.

You can see everyone helping the old and the young, bringing all kinds of furniture, and preparing everything to eat and drink. Then go out together to climb high and look far away, and by the way, lead to singing, Tang poems are not just sung for people. This custom, even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity, to bring the ministers to board, and then enjoy the lottery or something.

‘… After that, Yun Chang carried the head of the chariot and went to greet his eldest brother, and the things that the chariot wanted to harm him have now beheaded him..., Liu Xuan was shocked, and now he killed Cao Cao's confidant, and he was willing to give up. Chen Deng said: There is a plan, you can retire Cao Cao. Now the plan will be settled, and let's see the next breakdown. ’

It's the next time it's decomposed, there are applause and scolding, Ah Xiang and the puppy came out with a gong to ask for a reward, and they made a lot of money, no way, there are many people. Now Li Chen's Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are also famous, and there are many visitors. Some people will also go to Longhua Temple, because Wang Xianyan is talking from the beginning, and he didn't hear it before, so he can go there to make up for it.

'That's a lot of money. At the end of the day today, it's almost two. Ah Xiang counted the money and said happily. Li Chen was also very happy when he heard it, it was too expensive to spend money on the past year, like making new clothes, and each of the children had to get a new set of clothes, and it would take two times. And then other things for the New Year, which don't cost money.

However, seeing these children happy, he felt very satisfied, Li Chen regretted that there was no cotton in the Tang Dynasty, obviously there was this kind of ornamental plant since the early Tang Dynasty, but no one thought that this could be weaved, otherwise cotton would be warm.

Cotton had to be planted, as if it was going to the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Daopo introduced cotton weaving technology from Hainan to China, and carried it forward in the Ming Dynasty.

(Perhaps, no, certainly, cotton cloth should be popularized in China as early as possible, otherwise winter will always be a problem that restricts the development of the Han people.) ）
