After Fan Niang's graciously stayed, Li Chen and Fan stayed for dinner. Originally, he didn't plan to stay, but Li Chen knew that the Fan family was not doing well. It's completely Fan Mom who sews clothes and helps others take care of the fields, in exchange for housing and daily income, not to mention that life is not rich, what is rich, and has to give Fan the gambling ghost father to gamble.

It's just that Fan's mother said that she was going to eat for the elderly, and no matter how she kept Fan and Li Chen for dinner, Li Chen still agreed, because strictly speaking, Li Chen had not eaten, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would eat food during the New Year.

Although Li Chen thought about it, there would be nothing special, but he couldn't stand his curiosity.

In the Longevity Temple, there is a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is also some ordinary vegetarian vendors, although the abbot said that it should be rectified more abundantly, but..., forget it, Li Chen has no expectations for the cooking skills of the monks in the Longevity Temple and the Xiangji Kitchen.

Therefore, Li Chen has not seriously eaten any Tang people's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In addition, in modern times, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner may have many tricks. But modern people, big fish and meat every day, if you want to eat well, why wait for Chinese New Year's Eve. Several reasons add up, Li Chen has expectations for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, that is, everyone eats together.

In fact, it didn't exceed his expectations. But in Fan's house, it greatly exceeded his expectations, and Fanniang, specially rectified a table of Tang people to use Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so that Fan enjoyed a good taste of home, and Li Chen also gained insight.

"Zhu'er, this is the age of the year, drink it first." , Fan Niang, first gave Fan a glass of wine. In other words, Li Chen only learned today that there is a pillar in the common name, but what kind of pillar is this?

"A-Niang, can you not drink it?" , Fan has a bitter face. Li Chen didn't speak, secretly speculating about what kind of wine it was. However, no matter what kind of wine it was, it made Li Chen smash his tongue, and he thought that in order to let Fan eat meat, he abducted him to drink some wine first, which was a bit cruel to the teenagers. Now I know that the Tang people don't care about this at all, and let children drink during the Chinese New Year.

"Drink it, you have to drink Tu Su for the New Year, and the child will live a long life." , Fan Niang smiled and said, isn't it a year old? Why is Tu Su again? Li Chen was so wise that he didn't interject, Fan Niang loved him so much and was quite wise, and he wouldn't harm his own child. Even though he felt that such a young child should not drink, Li Chen still felt that he should respect the Tang people.

"What kind of wine is this, can you lend it to me?" , Seeing Fan's bitter face, Li Chen was so curious that he took the wine glass from his hand, and Fan was like being amnestied, and he was so busy giving it to Li Chen.

"Thirteen Lang hasn't drunk Tu Su? What about the peppercorn?' , Fan Niang looked at Li Chen in surprise, "It seems to be a little familiar." , Li Chen took the wine glass, smelled it, and felt that the smell was very bizarre, and he had never smelled it before. But I seem to have heard the name.

(That's the name, Tusu wine.) Wait a minute... Is Tu Su a personal name? I can't remember Li Chen and don't want to. Just recalling the smell, I can't say it's pungent, but it doesn't smell good, as if it was soaked in Chinese herbal medicine. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chen felt that he seemed to have smelled this smell, but in his memory, he couldn't find this smell.

"This is Tu Su, made of seven kinds of medicinal herbs: rhubarb, atractylodes, bellflower, Shu pepper, cinnamon, aconitum, and sarsa. I give this to my children during the Chinese New Year." , Fan's mother explained patiently, "Thirteen Lang can drink if you want." I still have it.'" After speaking, he poured another glass for Fan.

Lifan had a bitter face and drank a cup. Li Chen also dried the wine in one gulp, and then let's talk about it, this taste is really strange. Theoretically, he had never drunk it, but it seemed that his body had drunk it, and there was a familiar feeling. Probably the body remembers, the soul doesn't, the body remembers.

However, the taste is really not good, after Li Chen stopped reminiscing, he immediately drank a glass of Fanjia's self-brewed turbid wine, washed off the taste, and waited to eat.

After drinking, I ate the vegetables. Fan Niang first served a plate, and put five small plates of things in it, "Come, this is the Wuxin plate." , Fan's mother introduced.

I saw that in a plate, there were five small plates, and a few spices were placed in it, Li Chen recognized garlic, small garlic, leeks, one was coriander, and the rest did not recognize.

"Is that so?" , Li Chen didn't understand and asked directly, and Fan's mother seemed to be used to it, "This is Brassica. Eat five hardships during the New Year, and you won't get sick in the New Year."

Li Fan still ate it with a bitter face, Li Chen didn't care, he actually liked a little spicy taste, especially garlic. It will make your mouth taste a little worse, but it doesn't matter.

It was so hard to drink Tu Su wine that he finished eating, and the main dish finally came up, only to see dozens of white and round little fat people lying in a large plate.

"Eat more." , Fan Niang touched Fan De's head lovingly, Li Chen's eyes widened, this thing was his favorite food before he was reborn, dumplings...

"It's delicious, it's delicious, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, but they are delicious." , Li Chen also took a bite, and half of it was bite, and the meat was filled, and it seemed that it was still mutton.

"I'm afraid you won't eat it." , It seems that Fan's mother is relieved, and she was worried that Fan would not eat meat in order to keep the precepts, but when the child is growing up, how can she just eat vegetarian.

Fan's mother is pleased, Li Chen is also happy, he eats happily, he hasn't eaten dumplings for a long time, it turns out that there are dumplings in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately he has not seen it when he went to the wine store before, next time you can ask the boss.

"Dumplings? Is this the name of Shisanlang's hometown? In our warehouse town, we are used to calling it Tangzhong Prison Pill all around." , Mother Fan said with a smile, Li Chen heard the fainting, no wonder he didn't hear the doctor say dumplings, the feelings turned out to be called this strange name.

Prison pills, Li Chen didn't dare to eat too much, people have been preparing for a long time, and if they are prepared, they are just a piggyback. Of course, Fan's mother didn't say that, but an adult, you can't even have this little look. People don't say it's polite, and they won't say anything if they really eat it, but it's not good to be a bad guest.

However, Fan Niang also prepared some things, even if Li Chen didn't take the prison pill, there was still something to cushion his stomach, it was really a cushion for his stomach. If Li Chen lets go of eating, this little thing will be half-full.

"This is vegetable soup, boiled with seven kinds of vegetables, which should have been eaten a few days ago." , Li Chen held a bowl of vegetable soup and listened to Fan Niang's introduction. Fan Niang already knew that Li Chen, a poor baby, had never had a Spring Festival when she was so old, so she was kind enough to introduce Li Chen.

"Li Chen: Roar! Who hasn't had the Spring Festival, I'm just going to have the Spring Festival after more than a thousand years, okay? Li Chen roared in his heart.

In fact, Li Chen also ate this vegetable soup in the temple a few days ago, but he didn't care about it at that time, so he treated it as an ordinary vegetarian dish. I didn't expect it to be one of the several dishes to eat during the Chinese New Year in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, from the beginning of the year, it was assigned to several kinds of animal days, and it was customary not to eat the meat of this animal on this day.

I don't eat chicken, I don't eat dogs, I don't eat pigs on the third day, I don't eat mutton on the fourth day, I don't eat beef on the fifth day, and I don't ride a horse on the sixth day. The seventh day of the first lunar month is a human day, and you can't eat human flesh...

Well, everyone is not Li Dazui, you can't eat human flesh on any day, the seventh day of the first month is human day, and it is customary to eat vegetable soup on this day. Of course, there are still many customs on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but Li Chen is in the temple, and he has no chance to see it, so we will introduce it later.

After eating this prison pill, the prison pill in the soup, and eating vegetable soup, Li Chen said goodbye to Fan Niang, and took Fan to the town, inevitably crying again, Li Chen did not delay time, and promised that he would have the opportunity to bring Fan back again in the future, and if he didn't hurry up, he was really afraid that Fan Taye would come back suddenly, and it would be a big trouble,

Driving the ox cart, Lifan lay on the cart and burped. After eating a full meal, he lay in the car and burped. Li Chen padded his stomach, glad that he hadn't eaten too much. I was going to eat in town.

After settling down, Li Chen walked to Cangfang Town, and the whole town was already boiling. Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the Lantern Festival. The main roads of the town have been decorated with lanterns of all sizes.

These lanterns are all different, and the zodiac lanterns are the most basic, some are tied into flowers, some are made into human shapes, and there are animal shapes. Li Chen also saw the representative lanterns of the Longevity Temple.

This lantern is amazing, it is a huge lamp tower, it is about the same size as the archway in front of the mountain gate of the Longevity Temple, several people are cakes, the main hall behind has not fallen, the whole huge lantern. This lighthouse occupies a huge area, so naturally it is at the door.

Not only on the main road, but also on some small roads, and some at the entrance of the portal, there are also lanterns, but these lanterns cannot be compared with those on the main road.

It's just that it's not dark yet, and the lanterns have to be dark to look good. So Li Chen's eyes swept over these lanterns, and he hurriedly followed the fragrance and began to look for food.

Looking for the fragrance, when he looked at it, a vendor on the street was shouting something, the pot in front of him was steaming, and Li Chen seemed to be able to gurgle in the pot. Unable to bear the fragrance, Li Chen hurriedly leaned over, "How can you sell this Lantern Festival?"

It turns out that the people of the Tang Dynasty have eaten Lantern Festival, but... Isn't this habit good, how can it be fried? Is it the Lantern Festival that should have been fried? In modern times, because modern people are afraid that the three highs are too late, they switch to boiling?
