Yu Sheng was also taken aback by such a ferocious movie-watching frenzy at the beginning, thinking that in the future, even if it is a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars, there will not be so many people entering the cinema to brush the box office. At most, downloads and piracy are ferocious.

But when I think about it, I think it makes sense. Huo Yuanjia played by Chen Tian is very in line with the Western concept of individual heroism, fighting a group alone, but he can use chic and beautiful kung fu to win it. And the coolness of the action itself is also fascinating.

Later, Bruce Lee's "Big Brother Tangshan", "Jingwumen", "Enter the Dragon" and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also became popular all over the world for this reason. And the fact that Chinese culture can conquer the West is simply a myth in this era, how can it not be crazy?

The most realistic impact is that Chen Tian has become a kung fu superstar who has beaten all male stars in Shanghai overnight. There are also many people who are waiting for Chen Tian outside the villa or Xinhua Company for the rest of their lives, ready to learn from their teacher. Although Chen Tian is also willing to accept apprentices. But according to the ancestral teachings, you must always choose and test before you can be included in the door. Chen Tian only needed to glance at these people who blocked the door, and he knew what this person's talent was, whether he was suitable for martial arts, and whether he was sincere in learning from his teacher.

And it turns out that there are not many people who are qualified to practice martial arts. Most people just want to use Chen Tian's name to add some luster to themselves. Chen Tian didn't accept the apprentices, and these people were entangled. Chen Tian was extremely annoyed, so he could only use his kung fu to jump off the back wall from the second floor and escape.

*****************

Time flies. For the rest of his life, he and the four Wan brothers were busy making cartoons every day, and before they knew it, the summer was coming from summer to cold. On the evening of this day, when I talked to Qing Xiaoyi, I noticed that it was almost the wax moon.

And once you enter the Layue Gate, you basically have to start preparing for the busy year. At this time last year, the rest of this world had just arrived in Shanghai, and the rest of the life of the future had just crossed into this era. After being soaked in the cold river water for more than ten hours, he saved Cathers and was sick for more than half a month. Even if it is the New Year, it is just to eat two more dumplings, but the heart is cold.

As soon as she entered the Layue Gate this year, Qing Xiaoyi took the children who had been on vacation to start cleaning the villa and preparing the application things needed for the New Year. Every day is busy, and the rest of my life is in my heart, and I suddenly have a sense of warmth. The festival is also more grand.

After entering the wax moon, the first grand festival is Laba. According to folk legend, the eighth day of December was the day when the Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. Originally, before the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the major temples in Shanghai, such as Longhua Temple, would have monks who mixed hundreds of vegetables, fruits and grains on this day and boiled them into porridge. Worship the Buddha first, and then give alms to those who are hungry and cold in all directions.

And this cold winter is also the time when many beggars or poor families in Shanghai are hungry and cold, and with the monk's Laba porridge, you can have a little more life in this cold and freezing season, and survive until the spring of the next year.

Qing Xiaoyi and a few teenagers, although they now live in the villa for the rest of their lives. But I lived in the refugee shelter for a long time, and I knew refugees who couldn't keep warm. Therefore, on this day, I had to cook several large buckets of porridge in advance, go to the refugee relief center where I used to live, and give porridge to everyone. Thirty-six children will follow.

Qing Xiaoyi misses the old things in her heart, so she naturally will not be stingy. In these large buckets of laba porridge, there are not only yellow rice, white rice, Jiang rice, millet, lotus seeds, chestnuts, red beans and other commonly used combinations, but also melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts and raisins, etc., which are now considered luxuries in Shanghai.

Although the Laba porridge that ordinary people drink is collectively called Laba, the methods and ingredients of making it are different. Not delicate and eye-catching, but sweet and delicious. After the laba porridge was boiled, Qing Xiaoyi tasted it and felt that it didn't seem to be sweet enough. Then he added two jars of sugar to it.

In the last few days of the lunar month, it has gradually become different from the usual lively. It is a prelude to the Spring Festival.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is the day of the sacrificial stove. The god worshiped is the stove lord who has a very fireworks atmosphere. The woodcut portrait of the Lord of the Stove was bought by Qing Xiaoyi when he was shopping. The portrait shows a white and obese couple. The two of them held in their hands the jade gui that was only used by ancient officials when they went to court, and there were smiles in the corners of their mouths and eyebrows. calmly watched Qing Xiaoyi turn around the group commanded by the thirty-six children.

At the top of the portrait are the four big characters "the head of the family", and on both sides are the couplets used to pray for blessings - the heavens say good things, and the lower world keeps peace. According to custom, the mouth of the statue of the god of the stove was pasted with a small piece of maltose by Qing Xiaoyi. It is a red envelope that allows the king of the stove to say good things to heaven.

On the table under the statue of the god of the stove, there are Fu oranges, oranges, edges, enoki mushrooms, dried fungus, beef shutters, and oil gluten that Qing Xiaoyi painstakingly collected. At this time, it was already considered an extremely extravagant sacrifice in Shanghai. In addition, there are dumplings with bean paste stuffed with glutinous rice flour that make children drool non-stop. and dehydrated sugar melons stacked in the shape of pagodas. Sugar melons are glued with sesame seeds, which are suitable for long-term storage.

At night, Yu Sheng took Qing Xiaoyi and Ye Wuguang and a group of people, in front of the king of the stove, burned incense and prayed, poured wine three times, lit red candles, and bowed sincerely. Then send the stove. The so-called sending the stove is to send the king of the stove to the sky comfortably, and then see the boss praise the people who serve him comfortably, and then the second year of the family may be more comfortable.

Therefore, when the king of the stove goes to heaven, he must not only have food, but also have a car to pick up and deliver it. Of course, in this era, all sedan chairs are used. It is the skeleton of an open-top sedan chair made of reed poles, and the exterior is covered with red and green colored paper, and the yellow paper and black tiger skin seat are pasted in the middle of the sedan chair. The sedan chair will be incinerated at the door of the villa together with the woodcut version of the statue of the god of the stove, paper ingots, holly, pine and cypress branches, wheat straw, soybean stalks, and empty pods.

In this villa, Chen Tian's kung fu is the highest. Therefore, Chen Tian wanted to take advantage of the wheat straw, soybean stalks and empty pods when the flames were beginning to rise and not completely burning, and use lightning speed to steal the bells, and rush these withered golden plant remains to the stove. In customs and legends, this is a shortcut to a cash cow.

After all the rituals were completed, Qing Xiaoyi took down the glutinous rice flour and bean paste stuffed dumplings and sesame sugar melons stacked in the shape of a pagoda on the table of the god of the stove, and distributed them to the children who had been waiting for a long time with saliva. and a few teenagers who have just left the ranks of children and still have a strong interest in dumplings and sugar melons.

There is a way, there are many people, and there is great strength. Although the area of the villa is large enough, there is a Qing Xiaoyi scheduling arrangement, and everything is in order. These children wandered around all day, and they didn't know where to get a plum blossom with a bright yellow bud and inserted it into a bottle.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everything is ready. Time passes quietly, the bell rings, and it's another year.
