Chapter Twelve; Welcome Spring
Chen Thorn - also known as: Tielizhai, stinky orange, wolfberry plum, citrus, stinky berry, belongs to deciduous shrubs or trees, and the whole plant is hairless.
The orange fruit is spherical, 3-5 cm in diameter, orange-yellow, hairy and fragrant, because the old thorns are easy to manage and resistant to pruning, and are mostly used as hedges and partitions, making it a better greening tree species.
Speaking of Chen Tsai, Wang Zhen remembered his neighbor. There was a row behind Luo Kesong's house. He had just arrived and seemed to have seen some golden Chen Tsai eggs on the tree that were still not falling.
Chen Thidan is called Wang Zhen’s hometown. Wang Zhen doesn’t know what it is called elsewhere.
As for why you call it this way, it is because the most sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred
"Hehe! It seems that I don't have to worry about the things surrounding the farm."
When he came to the Chen Tsui Tree at Luo Kesong's house, he looked at the Chen Tsui eggs that no one wanted in the trees, Wang Zhen thought happily.
Because he is familiar with Chen Tsui's habits, he certainly knows that Chen Tsui can not only cultivate seedlings with seeds, but also use cuttings to obtain seedlings.
If it were before, he might be anxious about how to obtain a large number of seedlings of thorns.
But now, no matter these two methods, it is not a big problem for him.
After all, he is a person with supernatural powers.
On the way back from Dahe, Wang Zhen had already discovered that his superpowers were not like he guessed.
This can be seen on the way home.
While on the road, Wang Zhen found that he not only felt affectionate about the earth, but also felt intimate about the flowers, plants and plants growing on the earth.
Add him to the point where he can sense metal and control water. As long as he is not a fool, he can guess that his superpowers may be related to the five elements.
This was confirmed after he returned home and felt a sense of intimacy behind Huo.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.
All five elements are complete.
This is also why Wang Zhen wanted to pack the whole village even though he had never planted land.
Because in his opinion, if he has the power of the five elements, if he can't even plant a land well, then what else can he do?
...
Time is like water, and in a blink of an eye it is already twenty-two.
These heavenly kings have been wandering around the village, and are planning to farm after the New Year.
The fifth master had already learned about the situation of each family and was waiting for the Chinese New Year to sign a contract with Wang Zhen after the main force of each family came back.
At the beginning, the fifth master thought it might be a bit difficult to convince others to rent the land out.
After all, rural people make a living by the ground.
But he didn't expect that when talking about renting a land, nine out of ten companies were willing to do so.
Even the remaining family is not willing to rent, but hopes to exchange the rent per acre of land for the same wheat.
This is understandable to Master Wu.
After all, adults can go out to work, but the elderly and children at home still need to eat.
In rural areas where steamed buns are the staple food, there is no wheat. If you buy it with money, it will be expensive if you don’t say it inconveniently.
Therefore, as long as these requirements were not too excessive, the fifth master agreed to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen also took advantage of this period to secretly sell two gold bars in the county town as the initial fund for renting the land.
As for the land lease contract, Wang Zhen specially formulated it with a professional lawyer for insurance.
Other aspects of the contract are very common, but only the last one is written by Wang Zhen specifically requested.
That is; if the contract is breached, one thousand times the original land rent price will be compensated.
The heart of being on guard against others is necessary, as the ancients said at this time.
In this regard, Wang Zhen must be prepared for any trouble.
At that time, as long as the villagers do not breach the contract, this one is actually a decoration.
Wang Zhen, who has superpowers, has the confidence to plant the land well.
But it is impossible to prevent villains from causing bad things.
After all, if Wang Zhen really became rich with these lands, there would definitely be people who would interfere.
Prepare early to prevent it!
Don’t think that rural people are simple. Simple is just that they do not involve their interests. There are good people, there are bad people, and the same is true for rural areas.
Although most people in the countryside are simple, they still cannot avoid a few black sheep.
They will be jealous of those who live better than them and will make bad secretly.
Although Wang Zhen is not always at home, he is clear.
therefore
That's why he added a sentence after the contract!
After twenty-two, there were only eight days before the Spring Festival. At this time in the countryside, we also began to prepare for the New Year.
"Spring Festival" is a modern term, while "New Year" is more common among the people.
"Spring Festival" generally refers to New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. However, in the folk, the traditional sense of "New Year's Eve" refers to the common saying "Laba" on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is a saying among the folks in Nanhe that "Laba sacrifices to the kitchen, the year is coming", which climaxes New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. During the "New Year's Eve", the Han people and many ethnic minorities in our country have to hold various activities to celebrate. These activities are mainly about worshiping gods and Buddhas, worshiping ancestors, eliminating old and new, welcoming the New Year's Eve, and praying for a good harvest.
Nanhe is located in the Central Plains and is the birthplace of the Chinese nation. The custom of "New Year" is not only very representative, but its profound cultural heritage and regional characteristics make it have obvious unique features.
The New Year is an important festival for the people to fight in their annual lives. At this time, every household is organizing the New Year, rich families kill pigs and sheep, and lanterns are used to make up colors. The poor are not luxuriant in material terms, but the rules must be comprehensive.
Twenty-three, sacrifice to the kitchen official;
Twenty-four, sweep the house;
Twenty-five, grind tofu;
Twenty-six, go and cut your flesh;
Twenty-seven, kill a chicken;
Twenty-eight, steamed jujube flowers;
Twenty-nine, go and get wine;
Thirty-year-old, pinch the nose (dumpling);
Chu Yi'er, he was raising his butt and bowing randomly."
This New Year's song is a major event for the folk New Year in Nanhe, and most areas of Nanhe have established New Year's events in accordance with this customary custom.
The New Year begins with the "Little New Year", which is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The Little New Year is also called the Kitchen God Festival and the Kitchen Festival. Sacrifice to the Kitchen God Festival is a custom that has a great influence among the people of our country and is widely circulated.
It is said that the Kitchen God has been staying at home since New Year's Eve last year to protect and supervise the family;
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchens Prince will ascend to heaven and report to the Jade Emperor in the sky to the Jade Emperor. Based on the report of the Kitchens Prince, the Jade Emperor handed over the fate of good and bad fortune that the family should obtain in the new year to the Kitchens Prince.
Therefore, for the family, the report of the Kitchen God is really important. On that day, every family set up incense tables for the Kitchen God before dinner, offered sacrifices such as sugar melons made of stove sugar and noodles, and set off firecrackers, which were called "sending the stove" or "quitting the stove". They prayed to the old Kitchen God to do the sacred "to go to heaven to say good things and keep peace in the lower realm."
In Nanhe, typical foods for the stove sacrifice are the first to be stove sugar and fire burning. stove sugar is a kind of maltose that is sticky and sticky to the mouth.
The reason for offering candy to the stove is to stick to the stove master's mouth.
It is said that the Sauce Master is the god sent by the Jade Emperor to the human world to supervise good and evil. It has the responsibility of connecting the feelings of heaven and earth, and conveying information from the fairyland and the mortal world. When it was in heaven, people offered it Sauce Candy, hoping that it had eaten sweets and gave more good words in front of the Jade Emperor.
Some people also say that using stove candy for sacrifice to the kitchen is not to stick to the stove master's mouth, but to stick to the mouth of the stove master's grandmother who is greedy for good things and loves to gossip.
In addition to eating stove candy on the day of the Kitchen God Sacrifice, fire burning is also a very distinctive seasonal food.
Every day on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, most people do it themselves, give the dough and make fire to the kang. In Nanhe, people regard the Kitchen Festival as the second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion festival.
Anyone who works, does business, and goes to school in other places will strive to rush home before the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month.
If you can eat the stove-sacrificial fire made at home, you will be protected by the Kitchen God, and your family will be safe and sound in the coming year. The family will be lively and the smell of the Little New Year.
New Year's Eve, the last day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as "New Year's Eve", is an extremely important day for people.
It is generally celebrated with the Spring Festival on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and is regarded by the people as the most important festival.
On this day, people get up early and go to the cemetery to invite the ancestors and gods to change their peach talismans, paste door paintings, and couplets (also known as door pairs).
The door sticker should be posted before noon, and all the family members should be posted when they are at home, otherwise people who are not at home will be posted outside the door, which is unlucky.
