A large waterwheel is not a simple model after all, nor is it a roof truss that does not require a high size, so the production of this waterwheel requires considerable patience, and there is also a fact that the uncle is not very skilled in the use of these new woodworking tools, so naturally the current work is half the effort, but with the skillful use of the tools by the uncle, the speed is slowly getting faster.

But this is a big project after all, and before the work is finished, the new year has arrived. New Year's Day, this is the happiest time for the children, but, no, why didn't the children find any movement.

Isn't there a poem "A colorful glow welcomes the dawn, and ten thousand red candles move spring." "Ah, that's wrong, this is said to be the matter of Yuan Zheng's last dynasty, and it was also the period when Li Zhi was the emperor, and now even Li Zhi's father Li Shimin is not the emperor.

What about the countryside, "the new calendar will only be half a piece of paper, and the small courtyard is still gathering ashes." "This is the festival of the common people, by the way, the pole, there are no firecrackers in this era, and the explosives are still in the hands of the Taoist priests at this time.

Yang Heng also found out that this Spring Festival, the New Year is really not happy, that is, there is nothing to be happy about for the child, at this time there is no kowtow money, there is no crushing money, and there is no New Year's greeting, it is said that the custom of New Year's greetings is still such a suggestion specially put forward after Li Er became the emperor, so since then there has been the saying of New Year's greetings.

So now, the father and mother have long prepared some bamboo poles, as well as braziers, this Spring Festival for adults to keep the year, that is, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, will wait for one night, one night even two years old, five more divided into two years, the child is not this patience.

This also reminded Yang Heng of his previous life when he was a child, at that time, there was neither a TV nor a radio at home, even electricity, every Chinese New Year's Eve, grandma would say, "This New Year, God wants to give us gifts, and the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, the fifteenth day of August, that is, when the child is handed over, the gate of heaven will open, when the gate of heaven is opened, you only need to shout three wishes to the sky, and God will fulfill your wish to love you." But Yang Heng remembered that before there was a TV in the village, even before the Spring Festival Gala appeared, he had never realized this wish, and he would fall asleep at about ten o'clock at the latest, and then get up at about three o'clock in the morning to eat dumplings, but when there was a Spring Festival Gala, he was also older, and every Chinese New Year's Eve would be in the village office with many people watching TV in the village to see the end of the Spring Festival Gala, and he forgot what the door of heaven opened.

"Grandpa, what are you doing with these bamboos?" Yang Heng's mind didn't turn around for a while, what did he do with some bamboo during the New Year. "Have you forgotten, do you like to burn bamboo the most during the New Year, this is the firecracker we use to burn during the New Year."

Ah, by the way, firecrackers, this is firecrackers, I thought that there was no gunpowder in this era, so it was naturally burning bamboo, and later generations called firecrackers firecrackers, which is from this.

"Then, Grandpa, what else are we going to do during the New Year." "What to do, I and your mother have to keep the New Year until dawn, you just have to sleep, let you keep the New Year, you don't have the energy, do you, every year you have to say that you will keep the New Year with us, but every time you fall asleep when you don't get to the morning, so, I haven't asked you to keep the New Year in the past few years."

"Then Grandpa, can the uncles keep vigil together at our house?" "That's okay, speaking of which, my uncles and you are the same ancestor, no matter who you are, it's okay."

"That's good, let's call the whole family of the four uncles, and we'll keep the New Year together." In other words, since Yang Heng's family came back, these four uncles have taken advantage of it, not counting anything else, everyone is oily with this food, naturally their life in the village is a little difficult, what envy, jealousy, resentment comes out, even their own brothers and parents are the same, this is not about who is good, who is bad, human nature is like this, this is not all sincere cooperation between everyone, and there are also people who tear each other down, so Yang Heng can obviously feel that the uncles are compared to when they first met, There is some dullness and depression, but their health is much better, and who can say whether this is right or wrong.

Since it has been decided that five families will come together to keep the New Year, then some snacks need to be prepared, what, melon seeds, that can't be done, sunflower seeds are said to be still in the Americas, candy, this dad really didn't buy it, and he didn't want to say it, so what to prepare, at this time, the iron pot was also used, since the iron pot was made, it is impossible to stir-fry, because this is winter, there is no more food, not even the kind of cabbage and radish that Yang Heng had common in his previous life, so what does this iron pot do, There is some rice among the grains purchased by the father, after Yang Heng made a meal of rice, both the father and the old mother and uncles liked this kind of rice eating, so Yang Heng also accumulated a lot of pots, pots, yellow, thin, now take it out and cut it into a square by square, and then fry some soybean oil in the pot, and then put these pots in the pot and fry them, and then sprinkle them on top with crushed fine salt, which is a delicious snack.

And then what else do you want, naturally you can't only have this one, suddenly, Yang Heng thought of fried beans on February 2nd, well, let's put this snack out in advance, in fact, it is just the most ordinary fried soybeans, and there are two things.

What's good to get some more, a lot of meat has been accumulated during this time, all of which are made into the form of bacon, so now cut a piece of bacon first, at this time because of the heavy snow covering the mountain, it is rare to see prey, so I have to eat these bacon, make some meat slices, and then bring a brazier, burn charcoal, let the uncle give some bamboo sticks, and grind some star anise or something, so that you can eat barbecue, eat barbecue, in order to avoid someone dozing off, Therefore, the meat slices used for barbecue need to be grilled with skewers.

And then it's the drink, this has to be said to be Yang Heng's luck, some time ago, when he went up the mountain, he found a tea tree on the mountain, and let him dig it back, he even collected some old tea tree leaves on the tea tree, the leaves are old, but it's also tea, isn't it, Yang Heng tried it for a long time, and even wasted most of these old leaves before he fried two taels of tea leaves, naturally this is the drink in this night, this is also because he thinks that the things he eats at night are too greasy, I didn't even think of this tea until I was too dry. However, there is no good teapot to brew this tea, and it can only be brewed in a large basin, and each person can drink it with a wooden bowl.

Yang Heng suddenly found that he was living a very sad life, he didn't have any vegetables to eat during the New Year, there were no teapots and cups to use, even no wine, not even dumplings, it was too sad.
