We always talk about the Ancient Blue Star people, the Ancient Blue Star people, but one thing that everyone seems not to know is that the Ancient Blue Star people also slowly evolved from the primitive society at the beginning. In the beginning, the Ancient Blue Star people lived in order to survive. , I never thought of celebrating birthdays at all, as long as I could eat and drink enough to survive. Later, as people gradually developed and their living conditions improved, they celebrated with banquets.
The ancient Blue Star people also have different races. Because they live in different continents, their lifestyles are different. I know the way humans on one of the continents celebrate their birthdays.
On birthdays, relatives and friends bring gifts to congratulate them, but the banquet is usually a way for the elderly to celebrate, and the scale is larger.
In ancient times, when children celebrated their birthdays, the family would cook a bowl of longevity noodles or other foods that the children liked to eat to celebrate their birthdays.
However, with the development of the times, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and birthdays have become a very common thing. The most typical one is the appearance of birthday cakes. Everyone, regardless of age, must have a birthday cake. One of them is the birthday cake.
When it's a birthday, if you want to celebrate with everyone, go to a restaurant or celebrate at home. If you don't want to tell your friends, just celebrate as a family... "
Mu Qingxin told what she knew. Finally, she sighed and looked at everyone, "Actually, the main purpose of celebrating a birthday is to celebrate the day when I was born, but the most important thing is to thank my parents, especially It is my mother who gave birth to me, so being grateful is the main purpose of celebration, because that day is not only my birth day, but also my mother’s Good Friday, the happiest day for parents.”
"Teacher, I'm done." Mu Qingxin finished all her words and looked at Tutor Henry.
At this time, the whole classroom was quiet. Everyone looked at Mu Qingxin in shock, especially Instructor Henry on the podium. He had never heard or understood what Mu Qingxin said just now. He looked at her calmly. Mu Qingxin, Instructor Henry quickly came to his senses, "Although what you said is completely different from what I just said, you have given me another layer of understanding about the way of life of the ancient Blue Star people. I I would like to ask, where did you learn so much?" Preliminary identification shows that it is not a random fabrication, because when it was said, there was no hesitation at all, and it was well-founded.
Mu Qing paused, "Well, I saw it from an ancient book on Tianjixing, and I saw it accidentally."
Everyone knew that Mu Qingxin had been living on Tianji Planet before, so Henry had to give up, and Mu Qingxin sat down.
Suddenly, one of the students raised his hand, and Tutor Henry asked him to speak.
"Teacher, I want to know what the longevity noodles that classmate Mu just mentioned were made by the ancients when they celebrated their birthdays?"
Henry on the podium also looked at Mu Qingxin, "This instructor doesn't know much. I wonder if Student Mu knows about it?"
Mu Qingxin stood up and explained, "This longevity noodles, in that continent, there has always been a custom of eating longevity noodles on birthdays. According to legend, it is related to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, it is related to a famous figure in ancient times, longevity. The main ingredient of the noodles is high-gluten flour with various seasonings, which represents people's good wishes for the future.
Face is noodles, and "a long face means long noodles", so people use long noodles to wish for longevity. Gradually, this practice evolved into the habit of eating noodles on birthdays (holidays), which is called "longevity noodles". "
"Is it delicious?" asked a fat student next to Mu Qingxin.
Mu Qingxin smiled and nodded, "Of course it's delicious, and longevity noodles are cooked differently in different regions. Even the noodles are made differently."
"Is it better than the food in Qingkong Food City?" Another student asked. People didn't know about food before and were not interested in it. But after tasting the food in Qingkong Food City, they can't live without it anymore. It's open, but it's a pity that once they go to school, they can't eat the food in Qingkong Food City. Although they can also make reservations on Star.com, their speed can never be as fast as those of professionals.
Hearing Qingkong Food City, everyone's eyes turned towards it. Mu Qingxin was stunned, shook her head and said, "This cannot be compared. First, the food is different and each has its own taste characteristics. Second, everyone People's preferences are also different. It may be the same dish. Some people like it and some people don't. Third, the food itself of longevity noodles has a different meaning. It represents blessing. So, there is no comparison... But also Very delicious.”
"Hmm... It seems that if you are an Ancient Blue Star person, you can eat a lot of delicious food..." the slightly fat classmate said longingly.
"What about the birthday cake? What is that? Is it delicious?"
Mu Qingxin couldn't help but feel that people in the interstellar world were all hidden foodies. Of all the things she had just talked about, she only remembered these two kinds of food.
"The origin of birthday cakes comes from another continent on the ancient Blue Star. People there believe that birthdays are the day when the soul is most easily invaded by demons. Therefore, on the birthday, relatives and friends will gather around to give blessings and send gifts. Cake brings good luck and expels evil spirits. It has been passed down to this day that both adults and children can buy a beautiful cake on their birthday and enjoy the blessings from everyone. Because they love their children, people in some areas celebrate their children's birthdays. On birthdays, many lighted candles are placed on top of cakes, and a new activity is added to blow out these lighted candles. They believe that lighted candles have mysterious powers. If the birthday person is allowed to If a child makes a wish in his heart and then blows out all the candles in one go, the child’s wish will surely come true.”
"Is it delicious?" the fat boy asked again.
Mu Qingxin nodded, "It's delicious, because it is a blessing, and it tastes like happiness..." Mu Qingxin thought of the cake she had eaten in her previous life, when her parents were still alive, and that was happiness.
"Have you ever tasted it? How do you know it tastes like happiness?" Bruce, a fat boy, looked at Mu Qingxin suspiciously.
Others also looked at Mu Qingxin with suspicion. Could it be that she was just making it up... They had never eaten anything before, and they hadn't even heard about it. How did she know that these things existed and how the food tasted? .
Mu Qingxin came back to her senses and looked at Bruce, "You'll know when you taste it. Do you want to eat it?"
"I think! If there is, of course I want to have a taste!" Bruce said without hesitation.
