Chapter 193: New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve in Northeast China, you should hang a longevity lamp. The longevity lamp will never fade all night, which means that you will prolong your life and keep incense.

From the afternoon, the red lanterns were hung high in front of the doors of each household.

This year, everyone has money and is willing to let it go. Not only are there lanterns hanging at the gate, but even the yard is full of red lanterns.

In the words of the villagers, they looked at the festive atmosphere in a prosperous manner.

Zhang Lang was unable to criticize this wasteful behavior because his family was even more exaggerated. Zhang's mother bought hundreds of lanterns and hung lanterns at the door, corridors, and trees in the yard.

Inside the lantern is a longevity candle, which can be burned for a day and a night.

The village paid for the big locust trees and the surrounding trees were also hung with lanterns.

Those who don’t know thought this was celebrating the Lantern Festival.

Zhang Lang knew that the villagers were using this method to express their joy in their hearts.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone started to move tables under the big locust tree.

I don’t know who proposed it first. On New Year’s Eve, the whole village will watch and hold a bonfire party.

The eight villages have not been merged yet, so it is not realistic to do it together. Finally, it was decided to build each village.

Originally, Zhang Lang disagreed, it would be better to have too many wives and children on New Year’s Eve.

It's snowy and ice, bonfire parties outside are just to find a grudge.

But everyone is very interested in bonfire parties. In their words, after eating two taels of white wine, they don’t feel cold anymore.

Light a few more bonfires, and then I just think that it can be roasted and will never be cold.

The public opinion was difficult, so Zhang Lang had to agree. Since he wanted to do it, he would go big!

Every household has to produce one program, and any program is fine. In the end, everyone chooses the best three programs, and the village rewards 100 yuan.

Zhang Lang also learned from the annual meeting of later generations and held a lottery. As long as he performed the show, no matter how good or bad it was, even if he went on stage to learn how many roosters crowed, he could participate in a lottery.

The winning rate is 100%! The smallest award is a piece of fragrant panicle, and the biggest award is a permanent bicycle.

You can watch programs, performing programs and prizes, so everyone is more motivated.

The happiest ones are the naughty kids. After breakfast in the morning, they didn’t need the adults to give instructions, and they took the initiative to bring firewood under the big locust tree.

In the afternoon, the firewood under the big locust tree had already piled up into a hill, and it was probably not enough to burn it overnight.

It was just dark, and more than a dozen bonfires were burning. The naughty children were so happy that they were the fruit of their labor. They screamed around the bonfire and ran away happily.

"Bang!"

Zhang Lang had just walked to a bonfire, but he didn't know that the naughty child threw a firecracker into the fire, and it suddenly exploded, which scared Zhang Lang.

"Who did it?"

The naughty children ran away with laughter.

The naughty child can’t cure you anymore, “Who did it? Reporting is a prize! Master Wolf gave him a double gift! Double red envelope!”

"Master Wolf! I did it!"

Without waiting for others to report it, Zuozi reported himself when he heard that there were double gifts and double red envelopes.

Zhang Lang was so angry that he laughed. This naughty child really remembered to eat and not beat him. He was just cleaned up yesterday and started to make trouble again today.

Pull it over and slap it twice in the butt!

"Master Wolf! You keep your word and you have to give me double red envelopes!" The big leftover boy was still thinking about double gifts and double red envelopes.

Zhang Lang was a little amused and crying. This naughty child, but after he said that, he reported himself as well.

"Okay! I'll give you double! But if you throw firecrackers into the fire, you will have to punish you... and deduct a gift and red envelope!"

"No! You have already punished me! Hitting me on the butt is a punishment! Mr. Wolf cannot keep his word!"

This naughty child has a lot of reasons when it comes to reasoning.

"Get out! You have to go on stage to perform in the evening! If you perform well, there will be no performances, but if you don't perform well, there will be no performances!"

"Hmph! This is what you said! Don't keep your word back then!"

"Naked kid! How do you talk to your wolf?"

As soon as Shengzi finished speaking, he slapped his father in the face.

Naughty kids are also pretty and don’t take it seriously at all when they get slapped twice.

"Are you ready?"

"Uncle Wolf! You're ready! It's just right to eat mutton that day!" Shanzhu grinned.

Looking around, more than a dozen large pots were steaming, and there were broth made of sheep bones, pork bones, beef bones, flying dragons, monkey erectus, hazelnut mushrooms, red dates, and wolfberry.

The people in the village were also crazy and had to hold a bonfire party and a dinner party outside on New Year's Eve.

It's a cold day, it takes less than five minutes to freeze any dish.

Finally, Zhang Lang suggested that we should eat hot pot together by imitating Qianshen Banquet by Qianlong.

Fortunately, there has been a tradition of eating hot pot since ancient times in Northeast China. There are hundreds of copper pots. Although it takes a little effort, it still gets all together.

Northeast hot pot is also called Manchu hot pot because of its historical allusions.

It is simple to make, use various wild mushrooms and meat bones to make the broth, and then add the ingredients.

There are no such things in the countryside. The meat slices are thicker and thinner, and the food is refreshing and warm.

The broth was cooked and everyone was gathered, and the bonfire party officially began.

The men began to take their seats, while the women began to serve the dishes.

A plate of lamb slices, beef slices, roe meat slices, and fish were filled with a table.

Zhang Lang felt bleeding from the mutton. This was the black goat he had brought back from the mountains through hardships. He was about to be planted. They were eaten by them and they had to go to the mountains again next year.

The wine is naturally the pure grain pulp made from Zhaojiabao. It has been stored in the cave for more than two months and has removed the anger.

…………

The bonfire was burning, making the sky in Xilong Villa red.

Zhang Lang walked to the platform and began to speak.

It is said that Zhang Lang's grandfather and the old man of the Dong family should have spoken on the stage, but the two of them intentionally trained Zhang Lang and gave him this opportunity.

"Friends, young and old! It's the New Year, thanks to the national policy. Our village is not bad this year! Everyone has money in their hands!…………”

Everyone burst into laughter.

"It's a pleasure to get together today, so I won't say much! Everyone should eat, eat, drink, drink! The performance show that should be performed! Who is the first to come?"

As Zhang Lang finished speaking, everyone was eager to try, but the first one was still a little bit untied.

"The first one to come up to perform a show, the first one to draw! Brand new bicycles are waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Zhang Lang continued to inspire.

"Uncle Wolf brings one!"

"Uncle Wolf comes first!"

"Old Wolf performs a show first!"

I don’t know who took the lead, so everyone started shouting that Zhang Lang would perform the show.

"Silent! It's not that I don't perform! The main reason is that I'm too high! After I finish the performance, you won't have the confidence to perform!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Since you don't come up, I'll order it!" Zhang Lang continued to say after everyone's laughter stopped.

"Leftover! Come on, go up! Come on the first show!"

Shengzi didn't know what embarrassment meant. Zhang Lang shouted and ran to the stage, stood beside Zhang Lang, and asked, "Master Wolf! Do you keep your word? I was the first to perform, give me double gifts and red envelopes!"

"Count it! Look at the fact that Master Wolf says absolutely nothing! You will give it to him after the performance!"

"I will sing a "I Love Beijing**" for everyone..."

"I love Beijing**

**The sun rises

Great Leader**

Guide us to move forward

I love Beijing**

**The sun rises
