Chapter Seventy-Seven: Chinese New Year

In a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Qianxun and others changed into new clothes, and pasted drawing paper on the tree at home early in the morning, when she was a child, she and her sister and the children in the village, after the adults cut down a tree, holding the paste, standing in the yard, sticking flower branches to the treetops, commonly known as the paste cash tree, meaning that there is endless money to spend in the coming year, and then gradually getting bigger, the mobile phone replaced the cash cow, but the happiness is not as much as before

It's not easy to go back to ancient times, there is no mobile phone, no computer, no red envelope, she just sat quietly in the yard, took the green flower paper full of paste from Xiaohu's hand, and then pasted it on the jujube tree.

"Xiaoqian, you are the tallest." Lin Qianxun took the time to take a look, and Xiao Qian, who was cold in the past, also became very happy today, so he spoke.

"Hmm" Xiao Qian smiled a few times and climbed up the jujube tree, stood on the branch, raised his head and raised his hand to stick the flower paper, Leng Qifeng and Mo Wuru Fu Changqing sat in the corridor and looked at the few of them.

"What a novel way to do this?" Fu Changqing boasted that he had seen a lot of customs, but this cash cow, how could he not know, so he turned his head to look at the madman.

"This is the custom of finding her child's hometown, she said that when she was a child, she did it with her younger siblings, and then when she grew up, she moved to other places with her father, and this custom gradually disappeared, she said that if she has the opportunity this year, she wants to relive her previous childhood days, and since she likes it, let her do it." Leng Chopfeng didn't look away from Lin Qianxun, from the paper-cutting at the beginning to the lake paper at the end, he kept looking at it directly, and his eyes showed a little distress.

"Ah Feng, you have completely fallen and become a real man. Mo ruthlessly sighed, but there was a bit of eyeliner in her eyes, if she was still alive, she would follow her happily, she let herself go west, he didn't dare to go east, she said that she was born today, he didn't dare to go tomorrow, such a scene is now left, and he is alone.

"She's the person you want, why do you want to put it on the shelf, it's useless, you can't experience these subtle feelings." The cold slash is iron-clad and tender, and he has a flamboyant and smug face

"It's sour." Fu Changqing showed a disgusted expression, and then said in a very sour tone

"You don't have a chance to show off." Coldly cut the limelight and didn't look back.

"You..." Fu Changqing's mouth was crooked, he got up and jumped down, squeezed into the child, and helped the cash cow.

"Why are you angry with him?" Mo ruthlessly turned his head to look at the smiling cold slashing wind, and then showed a helpless smile.

"If a person like my cousin is not rushing behind, he doesn't know who moves, if I stimulate it a few more times, he will know that he is looking for a daughter-in-law." Leng Chufeng felt that it was not interesting to sit and talk, and then got up and walked towards Lin Qianxun, although the weather was not very freezing, but Lin Qianxun could not be allowed to sit all the time, she had to move.

Since there were two people going, Mo Wuru felt that he couldn't sit idly and had to help.

With the addition of three people, the efficiency of work has suddenly improved.

In the morning, I ate a porridge and accompanied the side dishes, which was regarded as keeping the last year, and at noon, everyone pasted peach charms and prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When it was completely dark, Fu Qingyan found fireworks out of nowhere, put them in the yard, and then asked Xiaoqian to take the lit incense sticks and light the fireworks.

In the sound of about two breaths, only a lifetime of whoosh was heard, fireworks with a tail, exploded above the forest house, and colorful fireworks appeared in the sky.

"Wow"

"Ahh

The children were stunned, very curious about such a novelty, and after curiosity came shock.

There are fireworks in Daqi, but most of them are only owned by the nobles of the family, but they are not as shocking as Lin Qianxun.

Xiao Qian saw that the fireworks were so fun, so he took the little tiger who squeezed up to the side and lit the second one tremblingly.

There was another whoosh, the fireworks exploded in the sky, the children's voices came lively, and the residents of Guanshan came out of the house together, looking at the fireworks in the sky, their faces were full of joy, surprise, happiness, and incredulity and shock.

"Let's go into the house, have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and keep the New Year tonight." Lin Qianxun looked at the fleeting boredom, leaving the smell of sulfur all over the yard, and she said with a smile.

The children were reluctant to enter the house.

Tonight is the New Year, everyone is huddled together, people in their fifties and sixties, sitting around the room in the private school, there are eight tables of rice, about eight people sitting on each table, there are twelve dishes in front of them, meat and vegetables are matched, and the colors are bright.

As the head of the family, Leng Chopfeng swept his eyes into the room, and randomly picked up a cup full of soju and said

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also the end of the year, the new year is happy, and the old year is said to be loud, I am here to wish you a new year, a safe year, a healthy body, children succeed in their studies, and adults want to achieve success." Leng Qifeng and Lin Qianxun have been messing around for a long time, and his demeanor has become a little easy-going, even his tone is somewhat similar to Lin Qianxun, his approachable appearance is really dazzling.

"Thank you for your congratulatory message, can you have a banquet?" Fu Changqing's eyes were not enough, he looked at the steaming meal on the table, and looked at the braised carp close to him, the carp body was divided into several knives, first fried, and then the boiled sweet and sour juice was poured on it, the color was bright red, the taste was short and sweet, and his tongue couldn't stop saliva, if he was at home before, he would have to wait for this elder, after speaking, everyone could start, but in the forest house, everything is simple, but this atmosphere makes people feel particularly comfortable. After Leng Qifeng raised his head and drank the wine, he immediately sat down next to Lin Qianxun, looked at her stomach with a smile, and said in a low voice.

"I also wish the child Kangtai, safe and smooth."

"You've only had one drink, and you're drunk, and tonight's meal is very rich, and if you don't eat it, you'll have to wait a year for it." Lin Qianxun wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

"I can't pour a thousand cups." Leng Chopfeng said with a smile.

"I believe you're weird, it's just wine made from grain, the concentration of the wine is low, and you don't get very drunk when you drink it, if you drink distilled spirit, such a small glass, Ah Feng has to go out on his stomach and eat some food." As Lin Qianxun spoke, he sandwiched a shrimp for her, boiled shrimp, which was so frightened that she was so big that eating one by one person was enough to satisfy her cravings.

"Listen to what your cousin meant, it's easy to get drunk when you drink the wine in your hometown?" Fu Changqing picked up his head from the plate, and then looked at Lin Qianxun with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the wine in our hometown has a very long history," wine is a fermented food, which is produced by a microorganism called yeast to break down sugars. Yeast is an extremely widely distributed fungus, which is more likely to multiply and grow in the natural wilderness, especially in some fruits with high evaporation content. Sugary fruits are an important food for apes. When ripe wild fruits fall, it is a natural phenomenon that sake is produced due to the action of yeast on the peel or in the air. In daily life, you can often smell the smell of alcohol due to rotting fruit stalls or even garbage heaps. During the ripening season of fruits, apes store a large number of fruits in the "stone depression", and the accumulated fruits are fermented by the action of drunken mother bacteria in nature, and the liquid of "wine" is pre-empted in the stone depression. As a result, the fruit is not affected, and the precipitated liquid - "wine", has a special aroma for enjoyment.

"In other words, after a long period of brewing, it has a peculiar taste, and it is because of yeast?" The deputy factory grabbed the favorite wine, and immediately knew something when he heard it.

"My cousin is smart, speaking of wine, there are many famous wines in our hometown, I have heard Du Kang the longest, people often say, how to solve worries, only Du Kang, Du Kang is a kind of wine, speaking of Du Kang, there is a legend about Du Kang, I will tell you." Lin Qianxun thinks that during the New Year, he must be happy, but to be happy, he must have something, entertainment, since he talked about Du Kang, he had to tell the story of Du Kang's winemaking.

"Let's talk about the origin of Du Kang." I said in a hurry to do it again.

Lin Qianxun slowly took a bite of shrimp meat, and slowly spoke in the expectant eyes of everyone.

Du Kang is said to have been a minister under the Yellow Emperor. At that time, after Shennong's tasting herbs and distinguishing grains, people began to cultivate land to grow food. Du Kang was entrusted with the management of the production and preservation of food, and was very responsible. Due to the fertile land, the wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest is bumper year after year, and the grain is more and more, but because there is no warehouse and scientific storage methods, the harvest grain is piled up in the cave, and after a long time, all of it is moldy due to dampness. When the Yellow Emperor learned about this, he was very angry and ordered Du Kang to be in charge of grain storage full-time, and if there was mildew, he would be punished severely. Du Kang was suddenly demoted from a minister in charge of grain production to a grain depot keeper, and he was very sad. But he also thought that Luozu, Fenghou, Cangjie and other ministers had invented and created and made great contributions. Luozu invented silk reeling and weaving, invented the guide car after the wind, and invented writing in Cangjie. He alone has no merit, and he has sinned. Thinking of this, his anger disappeared, and he secretly made up his mind: he must do a good job of keeping the grain.

After that, Du Kang found an open field in the forest, surrounded by several large dead trees, leaving only thick trunks, which were empty. Du Kang had an idea, he thought, if the grain is packed in the hollow of the tree, maybe it will not be moldy. So, he put the tree

All the dead trees in the forest have been hollowed out one by one. Within a few days, all the grain was packed into the hollow of the tree. Who knows, two years later, the grain in the hollow of the tree was slowly fermented by the wind, the sun, and the rain. One day, when Du Kang went up the mountain to check the grain, he suddenly found several goats, wild boars and rabbits lying around a dead tree containing grain. At first he thought the beasts were dead, but when he looked closer, he found that they were still alive and seemed to be asleep. Du Kang couldn't figure out what the reason was for a while, and he was still wondering, when a wild boar woke up. As soon as it saw someone coming, it immediately ran into the woods. Immediately afterwards, the goats and rabbits also woke up one by one and fled.
