The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1721 1746 Folk New Year Customs (6)

The person Jing Junying was most afraid of was Jing Ye. As soon as Jing Ye spoke, he immediately shut up, but opened his big eyes and looked at Jing Ye pitifully. His appearance made Jing Ye a little bit dumbfounded.

Jing Ye didn't bother to pay attention to Jing Junying, and pointed to a plate of chicken on the table: "What do you say about the chicken?"

"The homonym of chicken is the word auspicious, and chicken means good luck." Lan Qing smiled and said, "Because of this meaning, ordinary people will kill a chicken to bring good luck during the New Year."

It was also the first time for Jing Ye to hear these words, and he felt a little interesting in his heart, so he asked again: "Then what about this eight-treasure duck?"

Lan Qingqing replied with a smile: "Duck is not a must-have dish on the dinner table of ordinary people, because many people think that duck has too many bones. Although the meat on the body is strong, it is not enjoyable to eat. It's just the nature of duck meat. But it is more medicinal than chicken. Ordinary people raise ducks for several years and then sell them to rich families. Those rich people say that eating duck meat with appropriate Chinese medicine can also be regarded as a delicious medicinal food. , It is very helpful for health maintenance. Therefore, in the homes of rich families, the duck meat is also indispensable on the New Year's Eve, and the picture is just to let oneself have a good body."

Jing Ye also found it very interesting to hear her talking about these folk affairs, and then pointed to the plate of fish and said, "What about this fish?"

There was a bit of a smile in Lan Qingqing's eyes, and she smiled slightly: "There is the same saying about the dish of fish, both in and out of the palace, that is, there is more than enough every year. For ordinary people, it takes a lot of hard work. In the new year, I always hope to have some surplus, so the fish dish is a must-have dish during the Chinese New Year. It’s just that there may be a little more in the folk saying than in the palace.”

"Oh? How much more?" Jing Ye asked.

The corner of Lan Qingqing's mouth hooked slightly: "That is, fish must be eaten on the morning of the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Why?" Jing Ye's eyes were a little curious. There is a Ministry of Etiquette in the palace, and the dishes they cook all have very nice names. The dishes served on New Year's Eve also have their own specialties, but the customs inside and outside the palace are still the same. Some are different.

Lan Qingqing chuckled and replied: "In the eyes of ordinary people, the first day and the fifteenth day of the lunar new year are extremely important days, since it is necessary to have more than every year, then naturally the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year must be spared. "

After she finished saying this, she blinked slyly, and Jing Ye laughed loudly when he saw her appearance: "There is still such a saying, this king has gained insight."

Lan Qingqing also had a little smile in her eyes, Jing Ye handed over a glass of fruit juice, he filled his wine cup with wine, and then drank it all in one gulp, she also drank the juice in the glass with a smile.

The Empress Dowager heard the things that Lan Qingqing said, although she felt a little interesting, but after listening to them, she felt that the so-called customs of the year that Lan Qingqing said were just things that could not be put on the table, so she couldn't help but look sideways. Lan tilted his eyes.

The Empress Dowager waved to Jing Junying and asked him to sit beside her.

Jing Junying knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like Lan Qingqing very much. Although he couldn't understand the reason, he felt that the discord between the two really gave him a headache, and he didn't want to touch the Empress Dowager. I mean, Dang even sat down.
