The ancestor worship on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve should be at sunset, when the sky will be dark but there is still light, and the ghosts and gods can just go out, and they can take advantage of the light to find their own home.

In winter, it gets dark early, but both days are sunny, so there's still a glimmer of sun at five o'clock.

Luo Haojiang walked outside and took a look, the red sun was about to go down on the opposite peak, and according to the previous law, it would be ten minutes before it went down.

"Jiangjiang, tell your mother that you can cook chicken!" Luo Haojiang walked back to the house leisurely with his hands behind his back, and took Jin Hengsheng to the upstairs warehouse to move the wine jar. He made pumpkin wine and corn wine last year, but pumpkins can't be served on the table, so he can just carry corn wine. With ready-made labor, Luo Haojiang doesn't want to tire himself.

In about ten minutes, the food for worshipping the ancestors was ready, and the whole chicken, whole duck, whole goose, whole fish, pig's head meat, and bacon were put on a large plate by the simple and rude other party, with a red chopstick stuck on it. At the front are three bowls of corn wine, followed by three bowls of red dessert wine, and three pairs of red chopsticks are placed on top of the wine bowls and chickens, ducks and geese.

Jin Hengsheng couldn't understand that the ancestors should not sacrifice the most delicious and delicate food to the ancestors?

Luo Jiang didn't know either, she had been sacrificed like this since she was a child, and the emperor on TV also sacrificed three animals and wine, there was nothing wrong with it.

After worshipping the ancestors, the sandalwood in front of the shrine in the hall is lit all the time, and the ancestors can only enjoy the long incense offering twice a year, except for the Ghost Festival, which is the Spring Festival. The sandalwood selected by Luo Haojiang can be burned for 12 hours, and it can be changed once at noon and once before going to bed.

Everything in the New Year must be painted auspicious, and if the incense is broken, it will never work. The broken incense indicates that the juniors of the master's family are prone to accidents, and the broken incense of the fifteenth day of the new year has to go to Nanyue to enter the incense, and the incense of the New Year can only be done.

The incense used by Luo Haojiang is the one that Grandpa Luo took him to buy before, and after decades, the quality is still as good as ever, and the incense of the Luo family has never been interrupted halfway. People are incense-making families, and they don't sell them if they don't know them, and they are generally only supplied to Taoists. The first three generations of the Luo family are all Taoist priests, even if Luo's father is not a Taoist who has opened the altar, for the sake of the fate of the coming year, people will sell it, and then in the next generation, only Luo Jiang has taken a box of incense from their family.

After collecting the offerings, it was the dinner of the Luo family, and the chicken, duck and fish meat removed from the table of the Eight Immortals were all taken into the kitchen by Luo Qing and Luo Haojiang for deep processing, and Jin Hengsheng also put on a big apron to cut meat.

It was the first time Jin Hengsheng had seen a man cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then Luo Qing kindly reminded Jin Hengsheng while chopping his elbow: The meals for guests during the New Year are all made by men, and it will not be done until fifteen.

Jin Hengsheng has a big mouth, is this a folk custom? No, he just saw the men in the neighborhood playing cards together!

"The rules of our Luo family are like this, so the men in our family are very sought-after, and the matchmaker who turns 20 years old will step through the threshold. Ahem! Luo Qing blushed a little, he was the one who liked Wu Fang at a glance.

"Isn't this a description of a girl? No, isn't the cousin of the uncle's family still married? Jin Hengsheng only felt that his brain was full of paste, and he couldn't turn it at all.

"The uncle is married for the second time, and Rosie was brought over by the eldest aunt." Luo Qing lightly released a bomb, Jin Hengsheng was so frightened that he almost cut his fingers, and then shut up and didn't dare to talk.

Luo's father has specially practiced cooking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that only two people are invited to hold a banquet in the village - the village party secretary and Luo's father. The old village chief is old, and the general people don't move, and the village party secretary and Luo's father belong to the golden balm, write a gift book, be the head manager, the chef, Luo's father still has an electrician certificate, and now he is an electrician in the village.

Luo Haojiang made all the big dishes, Luo Qing was responsible for stir-frying the side dishes, and then Jin Hengsheng saw what it meant to be a real chili fried meat.

Jin Hengsheng pointed to the red and bright fried meat on the plate, and sweat began to break out on his forehead. This stir-fried meat is not a green pepper or a red pepper, but a dried pepper dried by Luo's mother herself! Jin Hengsheng felt so spicy just by smelling it, but Luo Qing was still next to him with a pity, this year's rain is too much and the peppers are not spicy, balabala......

Please, the meat is dyed red, it's very spicy, okay?

The three of them spent nearly an hour in the kitchen and managed to make a large table of dishes.

Jin Hengsheng has to be careful with his chopsticks when eating, there are chili peppers in every dish, and the cabbage is chopped with peppers, so he can only pick the vegetable clips with fewer chili peppers.

The spicy dishes are especially delicious, and when Jin Heng filled the third bowl of rice, he was surprised to find that the dishes in the bowl were not too much, but the chili peppers were basically finished! Luo Jin was controlled by Luo Qing and couldn't eat chili bibimbap, she loves meat and is easy to constipate, and when she eats chili peppers and goes to the toilet, it is so hot that she wants to cry, so Luo Jin can only pour some soup out, and the soup is also red, and eat.

After eating, the children were driven to sleep, Luo's mother sorted out the dining table, and each person made a pot of thick black tea, and it was time for cultural and entertainment activities.

Luo Jiang likes to play upgrades the most, and his skills are average, but he plays against Luo's father every time, so it is Luo Qing and Luo's mother who lose. Wu Fang generally doesn't participate in activities, what's so fun about not playing cards with money, it's better to accompany Grandma Luo to watch the play on the side.

There is one more Jin Hengsheng during the Chinese New Year this year, so the people at the card table have changed, and Luo Jiang has stepped back to become the chief of staff. In the first few games, Luo Jiang said the rules of the game, and then Jin Hengsheng was able to play his cards by himself, and then Weng and his son-in-law cooperated to clean up Luo's mother and Luo's bald heads, and they didn't pick up a point from beginning to end.

Then Luo's mother was unhappy, Luo Jiang couldn't win when they weren't there, they weren't happy! Luo Jiang must play, not if you don't play!

Then Luo Haojiang was forced to retire, and he did the logistics on the side, I don't know where to get a handful of chestnuts and bury them in the brazier.

When there was still half an hour before midnight, the card table was also withdrawn, and Luo's mother handed a small cloth bag to Jin Hengsheng and asked him to change it.

When Jin Hengsheng arrived in the bathroom and opened the cloth bag, he saw that it was all red, red panties and socks, as well as red hats, red scarves, and most importantly, a set of red thermal underwear, he didn't wear this at all, okay?

But this is his mother-in-law's intention, Jin Hengsheng finally gritted his teeth and put it on, and he won't change it when he sleeps.

At 23:55, Luo Haojiang led Luo Qing to open the doors and light bulbs at home, and the three little ones were also shouted, and they had to kowtow to the hall after the firecrackers were set off before they could sleep.

Luo Jiang specially pulled Jin Hengsheng to ask Jin's father and Jin's mother if they were sleeping, although she had called before eating, but after 0 o'clock was the first day of the new year, she wanted to give New Year's greetings to Jinda and Jin Hengchang.

Jin Hengsheng was naturally willing, so he called Jin Hengchang immediately, and learned that everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala together, and sent a video to the past, so that the two families were also quite celebrating the New Year together.
