Chapter 15 Spring Festival

"Twenty-five" frozen tofu; twenty-six, go buy meat; twenty-seven, slaughter roosters; twenty-eight, put the noodles on; twenty-nine, steam buns." The New Year's dinner is not made in one day.

People who have worked hard for a year are preparing to celebrate the Spring Festival. Each Beijing residents give each person half a kilogram of oil and half a kilogram of meat. Each household can also add two kilograms of rich flour, one kilogram of soybeans, two kilograms of mung beans, a few kilograms of small rice and five kilograms of fish in the purchase book.

After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival comes to your face, and you have been busy for many days before the Spring Festival.

People who live a tight life on weekdays also need to prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner and eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

At this time, children are looking forward to the New Year and can try some good things that they cannot eat normally.

Queue to buy tofu and side food, most of these things are done by the children at home.

Cleaning the house, holding a basin, rag, cleaning tables, chairs, and cabinets, especially in corners, even when lying or kneeling, you must clean the roof spotlessly. Wear a hat, mask, and use a feather duster to clean the roof. After cleaning, you must also conduct hygiene evaluation.

When buying meat, chicken, and fish, the supply is not large, so you have to queue up early to buy it.

This year, the situation is special and I can only buy canned meat. The amount is not large, but it is also very rare.

The most sumptuous meal of every household in the year is the New Year.

I took the two naughty children of the Yan family and waited for the bathhouse to open the door and went to the street bathhouse to take a bath, take a bath, pedicure, cut hair, and cupping. The bath ticket was 26 cents a day, and the other one was 15 cents a day. Just take a naughty child and get a haircut, and Yan Jiecheng got all the things.

Yan Bugui, the only one in the Yan family, sent four bath tickets every month when they go to work, and one per person is not enough. The unit does not have a bathhouse like a steel rolling mill. The number of baths in the Yan family is far less than that in other neighbors.

Twenty-nine I started to fry all kinds of noodles and fruits, and I was reluctant to use oil on weekdays. Now I have sweet, salty, crispy and fragrant shredded carrot balls, sweet potato balls and forks.

Even Yan Bugui, who is the most calculating, did not stop the child from stealing food and share it with his friends.

People with conditions will make new clothes for their children. The Jia family, Bang Teng and Xiaodang are the only two children who make new clothes in Siheyuan.

Yan Bugui even brought out all the Eight Immortals Tables at home and bought pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He was waiting to write couplets for neighbors and exchange for some candies, peanuts, and melon seeds.

Not to mention that Yan Bugui's calligraphy is still written in the past, it is also excellent among ordinary brush calligraphy enthusiasts. There are also people who come to write nearby Siheyuan.

The busiest person in the yard is Xu Damao. It has been a year of hard work. Every unit and rural area has the need to watch movies, so Xu Damao received more screening tasks.

Every day, I go out early and come back late, and when I come back, I will bring back large and small local specialties, including chicken, duck and fish.

Another busy person is Sha Zhu. He gets married at the end of the year and is also busy every day. He also has a lot of lunch boxes and ingredients when he comes back.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is divided into two meals, first of which is fried rice from 3 to 4 pm.

Change the usual machine rice to small station rice, add braised fish, casserole tofu, lion head or Sixi meatballs, bean sprouts, mustard cabbage, vegetable heart-mixed cold dishes, five-spice spicy cabbage, pickled cabbage, vinegar-sauce cabbage, stir-fried sauerkraut or stewed sauerkraut, and choose a few of them among the oil-splashed sauerkraut.

This is the most important and most hearty meal of the year.

Everyone outside has to rush home to eat, and there must be fish in the dishes, so it is auspicious to have "surplus every year".

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the whole family also has to eat dumplings together. The dumplings are wrapped in Fuqiang flour, which is much whiter than the standard powder you eat every day. They are usually filled with pork and cabbage, and sometimes sauerkraut stuffing.

When you open different doors, the dishes on each dining table are similar, the furniture arrangements in each room are similar, people wear similarly, and their desire for life is also similar.

No matter how ice, snow or poor mountains and rivers are, they cannot stop them from discovering and amplifying the subtle joys in life. Yan Jie, Chengdu likes this kind of Spring Festival.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole hospital will be held. Everyone wishes each other a happy new year and a happy Chinese New Year, even if you wish the New Year.

The children of the Yan family can also get one cent of New Year's money when they wish their parents a happy New Year.

I didn't go out on the first day of the New Year and went back to my parents' home on the second day of the New Year. The Yan family had no close relatives in the capital.

Adults also have to attend group tours organized by some units and streets.

Children just need to enjoy the Spring Festival and can eat peanuts, melon seeds, candies and pastries that are difficult to eat.

There are children running wildly everywhere in the alley.

Beihai Park, Shichahai, Houhai, Xiangshan, Summer Palace, and Forbidden City. These places are even better places for families to visit.

During the Chinese New Year, there will be various folk snacks, such as candy blowjobs, twisted flowers, candied haws, marshmallows, and noodles.

All kinds of juggling, dragon dancers, lion dancers, monkey dancers, and arts.

All kinds of small lanterns, small windmills, small toys, and small New Year paintings are all enough for children today to be happy for a long time.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuan, and Yan Jiedi, each of them can be disassembled and played until fifteenth.

On the fifth day of the lunar month of Yan Jiecheng, he brought two bottles of Maotai, a chicken, a piece of pork belly, and jasmine tea.

When I came to my master's house, my master's house was in Houhai, and there was a separate courtyard house.

Today is the day when Yan Jiecheng officially became a disciple. When he came to his master's house, he saw four or five old men and more than a dozen young men.

These are all witnesses of the apprenticeship of the master. The master's children were all in the army and did not come back. There was only one grandson by his side, and his family also had two senior brothers.

It happened to be on this party day, and everyone will give a testimony.

First prepare eucalyptus, tributes, and statues of the ancestors.

Then the master burned incense and bowed to the ancestors.

The senior brother burns incense and bows to the ancestors.

New disciples burn incense and bow to the ancestors.

Wait until the master sits down and offer tea to the master.

After the master read the rules of the sect, Yan Jiecheng summarized that it is basically not to commit crimes, do not bully the weak, protect his fellow disciples, and do not deceive his masters and destroy ancestors. There are not many things that need to be followed.

Just bow to the master and hand over the apprenticeship note.

Yan Jiecheng is a formal introduction and can learn the Five Elements Fist and the Twelve-Form Fist.

I also know that these are all old friends of the master, not all of them are from the martial arts world, and they all have any industry.

They all came to witness the master Lao Dan's disciples.

After the ceremony, everyone drank tea, chatted, and worshiped the New Year. Even if the master's family conditions looked good, he could not invite so many people to dinner.

Yan Jiecheng had a big meal at his master's house and met his amiable master's wife, two strong senior brothers, and his master's eldest grandson Xiao Dan, who doesn't like martial arts.

With the master’s return gift, I returned home with a lot of harvest.
