Chapter 184

March 25, sunny, breezy.

The weather began to warm, and the heavy fur coat had been put on the shelf to dry, and it could be put away in a few days.

Early in the morning, the streets and alleys were full of a faint sweet smell.

It's the smell of blue moon cake.

It is said that a long time ago, people were in danger of starvation in the land of famine. A blue moon goddess lowered her blessing when she saw the misery in the world, and taught people how to extract starch from the roots of blue moon flowers to make cakes, so that people could survive the famine by relying on the blue moon flowers all over the mountains.

Since then, March 25, which is said to be the birthday of the blue moon goddess, has become a traditional festival on the land of the old Jing Dynasty. The time goes back much longer than the old Jing Dynasty.

Blue moonflower is a very common plant. The surface part is not big. It is about a foot high. It is herbaceous. It blooms in mid March and withers in mid April. The underground rhizome is large and can be eaten directly after cooking. It can also be used to extract starch, vegetables and grain. It was planted in a large area in many places in the Jingjiu Dynasty.

Blue moon cake is a snack made from the roots of blue moon flower. It is generally white. After adding some blue moon petals, it will show a beautiful light blue, and then put some sweetness. Shen Hao can eat a kilo at a time.

In addition to making blue moon cakes on March 25, every family will also have a blue moon festival, which is usually held in a family unit. Sometimes in the city, the neighbors will get together for excitement. A row of tables are set up in the alley. Your family produces several dishes and my family produces several jars of wine. Making do is a long banquet, which can be lively from noon to night.

People are busy, and so are Yamen. All the people in the country have a day off except those in special positions.

The smaller the place, the more pure the flavor of the festival will be. The festival is a festival. There will be no strange things jumping out to grab the limelight through the festival.

For example, the well-known "Hongen courtyard blue moon festival celebration" was publicized in fengri city half a month ago. It also specially spent a lot of money to make a giant float one foot high, loaded with several colorful singers to visit the city, stirring the wind and rain, adding an alternative scenery to the blue moon Festival.

Of course, men like this one. Those singers get angry when they look at them. Even if they can't afford to spend, it doesn't hinder their mind. Maybe they can see the singer's skirt blown by the wind after running a few steps with the float? It is said that someone saw it last time

At home.

Shen Hao got up early, washed and purified himself according to the custom, then perfumed and burned paper for the blue moon goddess in front of the incense table in the yard, and followed Hu Tian to a whole set of sacrificial process. This is the first time he has done this. He has been alone before. Even during the blue moon festival last year, he was still dealing with a broken body in the Qi house in Wuyang city.

To tell the truth, now that he has a home, Shen Haocai slowly has the feeling of integrating into the world.

After the sacrifice, Li Erfu, the former chef of the restaurant, brought a large plate of exquisite blue moon cake. He actually made it look like the moon and blue moon flowers.

"Oh! That's good!" Shen Hao took a piece and bit it down. He tasted sweet and glutinous slag and left his lips and teeth fragrant. It's better than the blue moon cake Shen Hao had eaten before.

"Try them all!"

Blue moon cake is eaten on the blue moon festival. It's the same for everyone. Even in the dungeon, I will give blue moon cake today.

Hu Tian, Xiao Ma and Li Erfu were also polite, but they didn't dare to sit at the table with Shen Hao. They took a few pieces and ate slowly.

Then Hutian sent silver. This is the rule set by Shen Hao. How can we celebrate the festival without paying some festival fees?

Hu Tian is one hundred Liang, and the rest, including Xia Nu, are all fifty Liang.

One by one, they couldn't close their mouths. Even Xia Nu, a Han Bao who had no concept of money before, was nervous about money, but she wouldn't spend it indiscriminately. She basically saved it. I don't know if she was really ready to save it for Shen Hao after she said.

Shen Hao pushed the door out and saw a bunch of blue moon flowers in the mouths of the two Stone Beasts at the door. He didn't know whether it was made by Hu Tian or Xia NV.

He went out early. Instead of going directly to Hongen hospital, Shen Hao wandered along the crowded place. After coming to fengri city for so long, he still had the opportunity to walk around the street for the first time.

There was no one to follow. Shen Hao himself was dressed in regular clothes. What was different from passers-by was that Shen Hao held a folding fan in his hand. The fan was dark and looked strange.

The folding fan was painted by Shen Hao and made by others. It took a lot of time. Now he shook it in his hand, coupled with Shen Hao's handsome appearance and a cloud pattern white robe specially made for him by Lin xiner, which forced him to fill up in an instant, attracting the eyes of every little lady with a girl's head on the road.

Shen Hao never evades his eyes. He nods smilingly and looks at beautiful people. Most of the little women in this world have great courage. Although they will be shy, they may not be on the passive side for men.

However, Shen Hao will not do this easily for substantive contact. He has no intention of getting married now. Although people have been coming to him since he became a small flag officer in Licheng, he refused.

Aren't they fragrant?

As for the wife, let it be.

All the way, I bought a lot of snacks and even ate one roasted sweet potato.

It was almost noon, and Shen Hao wandered downstairs of Hongen hospital just after he was ready. At this time, the Hongen courtyard has long been decorated and very lively. The shoulders outside the door are mostly people in gorgeous clothes. Baoma Xiangche also stops far along the intersection.

Ordinary people watch the excitement here. Those with brands can swagger in, and their faces are full of pride, because today's guests in Hongen building are all big people. Being able to enter is a symbol of identity. Ordinary old rich people can't even enter the door.

Shen Hao was alone. Although his appearance was Yingwu Junlang and liked by his sister, no one looked at him more when he walked outside Hongen hospital.

If the people here have some skills, who is not in front of them? No one can see the lonely Shen Hao. It's amazing. It's just a casual repair. It's nothing here.

"Give way! Give way ahead! Master Liu is coming!"

Master Liu? Many people looked back, but they saw a group of black slaves arrogantly lift up the crowd in front and send a middle-aged man with a straight face in. Some sharp eyed recognized that this was Liu Hengyi, the owner of the largest car and horse shop in fengri city.

It is said that master Liu has a deep relationship between black and white. He can't bear to go to heaven. Who won't give him face in fengri city?

Is that how a businessman drags it? This is the owner of the largest car and horse shop in fengri city. The relationship in all directions is much deeper than rumored.

The crowd in front dispersed one after another to avoid provoking the big man. This made the corners of Liu Hengyi's mouth rise slightly. He came in advance to avoid the big guys behind him.

"Hey! The man in white in front of you, get out of here. Didn't you see Master Liu coming?"

Shaking the black fan, Shen Hao looked back inexplicably: "are you calling me?"
