The north and the south are small and prosperous,

A handful of sugar melons add festivity.

Who's the king of the stove?

The twenty-third and twenty-fourth of the lunar month are welcomed.

-------------

The proprietress of the B&B is a simple middle-aged man, and in the afternoon she brought a bag of sugar melons bought from the market to each room where people lived, and asked each guest one by one if they wanted to taste some?

When I arrived here in Kyushu, the proprietress saw that it was a child, and while holding the sugar melon, she told her, "Little girl, don't eat too much, it won't look good if you eat bad teeth when the time comes......"

"And if you have tooth decay, you won't be able to eat anything fragrant, and you won't be able to eat anything delicious when you grow up!" Even coaxed and teased Kyushu, the proprietress was full of smiles.

Put down the small white porcelain plate wrapped in plastic wrap and put a few delicate small sugar melons, the proprietress turned around and went out, and when she closed the door, she deliberately turned around and reminded, "After eating sugar melons, remember to drink some water and rinse your mouth, it's very sweet!" ”

After stopping for a day, Kyushu, Dahan and Bei Xiaonian went to the south separately.

Early in the morning, I saw Nan Xiaonian who was over there, and Nan Xiaonian asked how Kyushu was doing, so he took Kyushu and Da Han around.

Came to a restaurant, the store is not big. It seems that he has some good craftsmanship, so he opened a shop at the door.

However, this kind of shop will not cut corners, generally speaking, the food and the sale are made from the same raw materials, in the same pot. It can really be called "home cooking".

Entering the store, the boss beckoned one person and two immortals to sit down and rest for a while if they were not in a hurry, it was still early, although it was time to open every day, but in the last year, the restaurant owner's house was doing the ritual of sacrificing the stove.

In the legend of Huaxia Shenzhou, Xiao Nian is when the prince of the stove reports to heaven for a year's work, and he will take the family's achievements and demerits for the whole year to heaven, and then send rewards and punishments.

Blessings are given to those who do good, and punishment is given to those who do evil. It is not so much a spiritual sustenance, but rather a prayer for the people of Huaxia Shenzhou for the ultimate reward for good and evil. It is a kind of yearning for a better life in people, hoping that the world will be fair, and those who do good deeds can be rewarded, and those who do bad things can be punished, so as to make the society more peaceful and beautiful.

Of course, at the same time, there is also the long-term worship of "fire" by the people of Huaxia Shenzhou, in ancient times, people drank blood, and it was fire that brought people healthy and delicious food, so "fire" became one of the totems believed in by the people of Huaxia Shenzhou.

As a result, this slowly evolved into a belief of the people of China and China, pinning their hopes on material activities such as "sacrificial stoves".

The boss who just greeted one person and two immortals has now returned to the kitchen, the sweet and sticky offerings have already been placed, the fire was turned on, some sugar melons were burned, and the portrait of the stove king pasted on the side was touched, and the restaurant owner's mouth was still chanting, "God says good things, and the lower world is safe!" ”

In a short time, the sacrificial stove was completed. Today's Huaxia Shenzhou is becoming more and more stable and safe, in fact, these customs are just a kind of sustenance for people, but they are also the source of their immortal power in Nan Xiaonian.

In a certain sense, perhaps the pursuit and prayer of the people of Huaxia Shenzhou for a better life really made this peace and happiness come.

After the sacrificial stove was completed, he beckoned the clerk in the store to start working, adding an extra fire to one person and two immortals, as an apology for waiting for a long time and delaying the time of the guests. I have to say that the owner of this shop is indeed very moral in business.
