Chapter 25: Lantern Festival

Views:

After the tenth day of the new year, the lively festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year has almost dissipated. Most of the working people have started busy work with the laziness raised during a holiday, and many children who are still in school have begun to work hard to make up for their Winter vacation homework that didn't move at all. This kind of atmosphere that is about to break free from the long winter days makes the whole city have a kind of revival vigor, and the only one who still maintains a certain degree of laziness is Xiao Nanzhu, an idler.

Li Mao and Zhang Chi's two big deals have made him the first pot of gold in the business of Huang Li Shi. With the help of Situ Zhang and Cao Chong, more people call him from time to time to inquire about the situation. , Because now is also the Internet age, everything is spread fast on the Internet, so after thinking about it, Xiao Nanzhu, who still feels that he needs to keep pace with the times, took the time to apply for a Weibo public account for himself, waiting for registration. After that, he took the time to learn about this kind of fancy stuff that these young people love to play, and when he finally understood something, he sat in front of the newly installed broadband desktop computer with a cigarette in his mouth, thinking about Xiao Nanzhu for a long time. I just made a small advertisement and put it at the top of Weibo.

@黄丽师老小V:

If you have any questions about traditional customs and taboos, you can leave a message or @. For door-to-door service and business cooperation, please send a private message (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ

After this Weibo was registered, no fans followed him at first. Xiao Nanzhu was idle and bored and summed up the customs and stories of the day and the fortune-telling of the calendar gods who went to work one by one every day into a long Weibo. , It took a week or so to find out that his netizens came to pay attention to this folk popular science po master, and every day they were waiting for him and the common knowledge of popular science constellations. Tian Xiao Nanzhu has gained 4,000 followers, but Mr. Xiao Nanzhu, who does not know that he will become one of the Internet celebrity marketing accounts in the future, has no feeling about this. After all, compared to these, he actually loves money. What he hopes more is actually more door-to-door business.

After the first day of the new year, he also received some jobs one after another. Compared with the bleak years ago, he now has a fixed income every day. Perhaps it is because there are so many spirits wandering around him one by one, so Xiao Nanzhu feels that his luck has improved a lot in all aspects. When he was about to get off work on New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve, he took advantage of the fact that the kid left early for the Spring Festival and told him about the Binjiang Road incident. When he learned that on New Year's Eve, he had already made his own decision and put a torch to eat people. After all the children and grandchildren of the thing were killed, Xiao Nanzhu narrowed his eyes first, then turned to take a cigarette, nodded and said,

"Well, this kind of ghost really deserves to be killed, but Jingzhe has been hibernating for the past few days. When he wakes up, I will take the time to completely destroy that evil thing. You have also worked hard, and the next year will be good. Rest and rest, see you next year."

Xiao Nanzhu's remarks made New Year's Eve feel relieved. He thought that Xiao Nanzhu would be dissatisfied with his brutal behavior of wanton killing, but it seemed that he didn't mean that, which made New Year's Eve already eaten up by darkness. His heart was riddled with holes and there was some hidden joy that he couldn't tell, and the fact that he was willing to reconcile with him during the Spring Festival this year also gave him a little relief, but when he heard that Xiao Nanzhu personally said goodbye in the coming year At the time of New Year's Eve, there was still a kind of inexplicable irritability in my heart.

This kind of negative emotion came very suddenly, and it was more unreasonable than the previous surge of killing intent. After all, after slaughtering those worms and snakes, he was not really affected much, and it was only because the Nian beasts were eating randomly that the Spring Festival was interrupted. Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Nanzhu were both startled, but just after Xiao Nanzhu said that sentence, his gloomy and pale face began to reveal an indescribable depression. When the evil spirits were on the verge of erupting, and at this time, on New Year's Eve, Xiao Nanzhu's mouth was left with a trace of the embarrassing traces of the candied haws that he had just forced him to eat during the Spring Festival.

"There, there's sugar."

The gloomy words on New Year's Eve made Xiao Nanzhu raised his hand subconsciously, but for some reason he couldn't wipe the traces completely. Seeing this on New Year's Eve, his red eyes narrowed, but for some reason, his face in the shadows was more sinister and evil, but after getting closer to Xiao Nanzhu, he rudely used his fingers to replace Xiao Nan Zhu wiped off the red candy stain on the corner of his lips, and then before Xiao Nanzhu could react, he put his finger into his mouth and licked it clean with his tongue.

At that moment, there was always an indescribable lewdness between the two of them. The atmosphere was even more ambiguous than the skin-to-skin relationship before. Xiao Nanzhu, who had just returned from outside, was still three-point sleepy. The situation immediately turned cold, he knew that he was sick again on New Year's Eve, but there was always an unspeakable evil fire in his heart, and what made him suffocated was that it would be zero before he could express anything. After the rogue's New Year's Eve, he immediately disappeared in front of him.

Because of this, Xiao Nanzhu didn't sleep well for several nights. It took him three or four days to forget about the appearance of the monstrous scourge, but there was still something wrong in his heart. In the first few days of the first lunar month, he has regular business visits, all of which have been in contact with him early years ago. Some are asking him to come to dispel evil and bad luck, and some are making taboos and being caught by evil spirits. Because the Chinese people have their own set of taboos and customs during the period from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year. There is an old saying that the second day of the first year goes back to the door, the third day of the new year is sleepy until full, the fourth day of the new year is called to God, the fifth day of the new year is separated, and the sixth day of the sixth day Fat; the seventh and seventh days of the first lunar month are completed, the eighth lunar month is complete, the ninth lunar day is born, the tenth lunar month has food, the eleventh lunar month invites a son-in-law, the twelfth inspection and a son-in-law come back to worship, the thirteenth lunatic meal with mustard greens, the fourteenth lunar shed, The custom of Yuan Ming on the fifteenth day.

At first glance, these things are all outdated old things, but they are all summed up by our ancestors through long-term life experience. Unfortunately, people nowadays are less and less particular, and some things that the older generation taboo should not be returned. In the past few days, what Xiao Nanzhu has encountered most is the person who has hit the bad luck and the evil of the year because of the taboo of the New Year.

@Julia Li123

On the first day of the new year, our family had a porridge for lunch. My mother-in-law in my hometown found out and scolded me and my husband on the phone. May I ask Li Shi, did I do something taboo for the elderly? @黄丽师 Lao Xiao

I got this @ on my phone when I woke up in the morning, Xiao Nanzhu yawned and opened the reply interface to type, because this involves an old taboo that no one knows about, so I am forwarding the reply. At that time, he gave some popular science by the way.

@黄立师Lao Xiao:

During the first month of the month, you cannot eat porridge, and you can eat porridge on the first day of the new year. Old people often say that it will rain in the first month of the month after eating porridge, so remember to bring an umbrella when you go out o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ

Soon after I posted this, someone left a message below Weibo, some said that my mother really raised my posture, and some of them said that he was just wandering around and fooling around. There is no scientific basis at all, Xiao Nanzhu He got up to wash up and make breakfast without looking carefully, but when he was wrapped in a big padded jacket and was about to go to the kitchen to make something, he suddenly saw a slender girl with a straight body in lilac silk. The figure was already there cooking breakfast with his back on his back.

"Master Li, you are early, today is the Lantern Festival, and I am the Lantern Festival."

The pink face is set against the peach blossoms on the temples. Lantern Festival is the first female calendar to appear so far. The pretty appearance and euphemistic temperament like a girl are extremely pleasing to look at. In the folklore of the Lantern Festival, there was a folk story that Dongfang Shuo set up a clever situation to reunite a palace maid named Yuanxiao with her family, and the ending of the story was not only that the palace maid finally met her parents and sisters, but also made the time The emperor Han Wudi designated the 15th day of Shangyuan as the Lantern Festival. Because the name was named a festival, and later it became a national celebration, followed by generations of festivals, so the palace maid Lantern who was good at cooking dumplings remained in the old yellow calendar after her death and became a god in the true sense.

Xiao Nanzhu didn't expect her to come so early. After all, the calendar gods of the first month are lazy and lazy. He is used to it. At this time, he said hello to the Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival also graciously responded. Then, when Xiao Nanzhu walked to her side, she saw that she was actually cooking a pot of fat and round dumplings, which made people greedy.

"Yo, what kind of stuffing is this?"

Immediately, I asked curiously, the tangyuan smell is indeed quite fragrant, and Xiao Nanzhu is also a sweet eater. Naturally, he thought it was a traditional flavor such as osmanthus sesame, but when he heard the words of the Lantern Festival, his lips opened, and his lips moved. His big eyes flashed suddenly, and he opened the mouth with a sweet smile in a crisp voice,

"I used to get tired of eating it every year, so this year Nujia thought about some new flavors~ This is stuffed with chives and eggs, this is stuffed with chocolate beef, and there are bean paste and tomatoes, Li Shi... Which do you want to eat first? Kind of o(*////▽////*)q?"

Xiao Nanzhu: "..."
