1746 Folk Customs(6)
The person Jing Junying is most afraid of is Jing Ye, as soon as Jing Ye spoke, he immediately shut up, but he looked at Jing Ye pitifully with a pair of big eyes, and his appearance made Jing Ye a little crying and laughing.
Jing Ye didn't bother to pay attention to Jing Junying, and pointed to a plate of chickens on the table and said, "What do you say about the chicken?" ”
"The same as the chicken is the word auspicious, and the chicken means auspicious." Lan Tiantian said with a smile: "Because of this meaning, ordinary people will kill a chicken to get lucky during the New Year." ”
Jing Ye also heard these words for the first time, and he also felt a little interesting in his heart, so he asked again: "What about this eight-treasure duck?" ”
Lan Tiantian replied with a smile: "Duck is not a must-have dish on the dinner table of ordinary people, because many people think that ducks have many bones, and although the meat on their bodies is strong, it is not enjoyable to eat. It's just that the nature of duck meat is more pharmacological than chicken, ordinary people raise duck for several years, and then sell it to rich families, those rich people say that duck meat and appropriate Chinese medicine are eaten together, it can also be regarded as a medicinal diet, which is very helpful for self-cultivation. Therefore, in the homes of rich families, the duck meat in the Chinese New Year's Eve is also indispensable, and the picture is just to make yourself have a good body. ”
Jing Ye heard her talk about these folk things, and he also felt very interesting, and immediately pointed to the plate of fish and said, "What about this fish?" ”
Lan Tiantian had a little smile in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "There is the same saying about the fish dish in the palace and outside the palace, that is, there is more than every year, for ordinary people, after a hard year, they always hope to have some surplus, so the fish dish is a must-have dish for the New Year." It's just that the folk saying may be a little more than in the palace. ”
"Oh? Which one is more? Jing Ye asked.
The corners of Lan Tian's mouth hooked slightly: "That is, you have to eat fish on the morning of the first and fifteenth days of the Lunar New Year." ”
"Why?" Jing Ye's eyes were a little curious, there was a ceremonial department in the palace, and the dishes made had extremely nice names, and the dishes served in the Chinese New Year's Eve were also exquisite, but the customs outside the palace were still a little different.
Lan Tiantian chuckled and replied: "In the eyes of ordinary people, the first and fifteenth days of the new year are extremely important days, since it is more than every year, then it is natural to go to the first to fifteenth day of the new year." ”
After she said this, she blinked her eyes slyly, and Jing Ye laughed when she saw her appearance: "There is still such a saying, this king can be regarded as having a long experience." ”
Lan Tiantian also had a little smile in his eyes, Jing Ye handed over a glass of juice, he filled his wine cup with a glass of wine, and then drank it all, she also drank the juice in the cup with a smile.
When the Empress Dowager heard what Lan Tiantian said, although she felt that it was a little interesting, but after listening to it, she felt that the so-called customs that Lan Tiantian said were just some things that could not be put on the table, and she couldn't help but glance at Lan Tiantian obliquely.
The Empress Dowager beckoned to Jing Junying and asked him to sit down beside her.
Jing Junying knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like Lan Tiantian very much, although he couldn't figure out the reason for this, but he felt that the discord between the two really gave him a headache, and he didn't want to brush the Empress Dowager's intentions, so he sat down.
