What made Ao Muyang feel low is that after Lu Zhizi left, he became a lonely man again.

He was stunned for a while and the sun was sunny. When the warmest time passed, he put on his clothes and prepared to leave.

He stood up and looked at the general about to wave, but was shocked to find that the bowl the general was holding had money, a 50-cent steel bark, and a few green banknotes of one yuan...

"Is this the food paid for?" Ao Muyang was stunned.

The words of the people next to him made him even more stunned: "Are you not a beggar? Seeing that you were wearing so little, I thought you were asking for money with a dog."

The general waved his tail and ran to the person who spoke, stretched his neck and handed over the plastic bowl of stinky tofu.

The man took back the prepared dollar and hurriedly left with the child, muttering: "The human heart is broken, and he comes out to pretend to be a beggar and cheat money at a young age."

Ao Muyang was so amused that he was pretending to be a beggar? Didn’t he just feel a little depressed?

There is little winter, and the winter solstice will come soon.

Ao Muyang gave Zhong Cang a vacation in advance and asked him to go to the hospital to accompany his wife.

Zhong Cang's wife is named Wang Xia, a very simple woman with a gentle temper and doesn't like to talk and smile. She looks quite like Zhong Cang.

The cost of the operation was in place, and the hospital quickly arranged for her to undergo surgery, so she was expected to go home for the New Year and would not have to stay in the hospital all the time.

The Hongyang area attaches great importance to the winter solstice festival. There is a local proverb called "The Eve of the New Year is over thirty nights, and the Eve of the New Year is over 1st morning."

Families with a large population usually start preparing for the holidays the night before the New Year. The reason for this is that local workers basically return home during the New Year, and fishermen also stop boats before the New Year and prepare to take a few days off to welcome the New Year.

The local custom is to eat dumplings in the Little New Year. On the night before the Winter Solstice, the whole family gathered together to make dumplings and became an activity, which led to the local youths, regardless of men or women, having their own skills in making dumplings.

Ao Fugui came to call Ao Muyang to make dumplings together. Ao Muyang didn't like to stay at other people's houses during such reunion festivals. The reunion of other people's houses made him feel even more lonely.

So he refused Ao Fugui's invitation and stayed at home to make dumplings one night in advance.

There was no one in Ao Zhibing's family, so he stayed, and the old and the young gathered a table.

The old man is very particular. Ao Muyang means that the two of them can make some dumplings together. As a result, the old man raised the airs and said, "This is not possible. The rules left by our ancestors cannot be broken. This is the end of the year, and we will finish it beautifully."

So Ao Muyang went to stir the filling, and Old Master Ao Zhibing went to prepare some things.

Ao Zhibing went home and took two round bamboo plaques. This is called Puluo in the local dialect. It is specially used to place dumplings and Lantern Festival.

Pulo has been using it for too long, and even a layer of patina appears on it, which illuminates the light.

The old man put some lettuce leaves on it. After Ao Muyang made dumplings, he put them on the leaves. This has meaning. The homophonic meaning of "lettuce" is "making money", and obtaining means making money.

In addition, brown sugar and honey are also added, which also has a meaning, called sweet honey, and there are 0 pairs of new chopsticks, which means "perfect".

The old man was preparing these things seriously, and Ao Muyang laughed beside him. Not to mention that after someone was so busy, the atmosphere of family festival came.

He steamed a big mackerel and prepared to make fish-filled dumplings, which is also the local feature. He ate the mountains and seas by the mountains and seas by the sea. Local fish dumplings, fish buns, sea vegetable dumplings, etc. are all very famous.

The steamed mackerel smelled fragrant. After cooling slightly, he used a knife to cut the meat slices. The fish had no other fish bones except the main bone in the middle. The fish was rich in meat and was suitable for making dumplings.

Ao Muyang prepared the filling and the old man also got the noodles.

He rolled the dough and made dumplings, and the old man rubbed other things next to him, including gold ingots, rice pounding tools, puppies, etc. People who don’t understand thought that the old man still had a childlike heart when they saw it. In fact, this is also a local custom.

Ao Zhibing muttered while pinching the dough: "Press a gold ingot, a silver ingot cake, and make a lot of money; pinch a rice pounder, a rice mortar, and a grain of rice will be sweet and salty; pinch a puppy, pinch a big dog, and watch the house guards to ensure safety..."

The general and the Overlord were lying on the sofa. The old man was amused for a while and then he made the dough as they were.

On a winter night, the sun sets early and the sky quickly becomes dark.

I didn’t eat dumplings that night, but I had to eat them in the morning. It was still dark in the morning and the sound of firecrackers started to crackle.

Ao Muyang got up and set off firecrackers, and then the old man put the dumplings in, and the division of labor was clear.

As the firecrackers sounded, the house suddenly became messy.

The general and the Overlord Flower ran around. Ao Muyang thought it was scared, but after looking back, he felt that the two naughty children were excited.

The head of state was indeed afraid of the sound of firecrackers, and crawled into the quilt and only showed his butt outside.

The queen stood at the head of the bed, and when the firecrackers sounded, it called: "Gaga! Gaga!"

Ao Muyang made several kinds of dumplings with stuffings last night. The dumplings with leeks and shrimps were his, the dumplings with sea vegetables and tofu was Ao Zhibing, the dumplings with fish and meat were the head of the head, and the dumplings with mutton and beef were the generals and the kings. When the queen found that she had no one of her own, she picked up a dumpling and pecked them there for a few times. She felt that the taste was not good, so she threw them away and continued to scream with the sound of firecrackers.

After the New Year, there are only a few days left before the New Year. At this time, there will be more temple fairs and annual meetings.

Ao Muyang had not had such an experience for several years, so he made an appointment with a few people to go to the town for the New Year market together.

The New Year Festival in the town is at the New Year's roots. Now it's okay, so he went out to the fishing ground again.

When he arrived at the fishing ground, he stopped the boat when the tiger suddenly rushed out of the water, and a big fish was in his mouth.

Ao Muyang was shocked when he saw it: a bluefin tuna!

"Have you brought the fish in our fishing ground to disaster?" he asked in surprise.

After a closer look, he found something was wrong. The fish was smaller and was just over one meter long.

Suddenly, he understood that the fish did not leave, and the tigers gained another harvest!

Unfortunately, the fish is dead. I don’t know if it was hit by a tiger or suffocated to death. As long as it falls into the tiger’s mouth, the tuna will definitely not survive.

Looking at the tiger surrounding the sea fishing boat, Ao Muyang threw down a piece of beef with a smile.

Although this tuna is dead, it is a precious seafood after all and is still very valuable.

He went to the floating object to look at it, and then found that the fish, squid and the like were gone!

Seeing this, he felt a little regretful, but he was still too impatient. The tuna catching method proposed by Lu Zhizi was very useful and really attracted the arrival of tuna schools.

In this way, he hangs squid and fish on the fish hook under the floating objects, and then stays in the water next to him, wanting to try his luck and try to meet the tuna again.
