However, from another perspective, children such as Baoyu and Daiyu will see the New Year, that is, food and fun will emerge one after another. When people grow up, they don't mean to be naive and playful, just because they are embarrassed or have no time and energy to play with others, so let's look at Jia's New Year from the perspective of teenagers.
First of all, Jia's New Year's delicious food is not big fish and big meat, but Jia's diet is always good in exquisite snacks. For example, in the small kitchen where young ladies such as Baoyu and Daiyu cook, only two chickens, two ducks and a dozen catties of meat are needed for a load of vegetables every day. As for Jia Mu, she prepares all the vegetables every day and eats whatever she wants. At Jia's dining table, big fish and big meat are commonplace. Sometimes a bowl of simple tea-soaked rice, fried gluten with chrysanthemum and fried buds with medlar seem to be worth mentioning now.
Venison barbecue is the most delicious in winter.
Baoyu is the most favored young master of the Jia family. His food is naturally excellent, so the food he can always remember is delicious food, such as lotus leaf soup and shrimp ball chicken skin soup in summer. So in the winter in Jiafu, near the Spring Festival season, those delicious foods have always remained in Baoyu's memory?
People still remember the roast venison that winter. When it snowed for the first time in winter, Li Wan discussed with everyone to enjoy snow and compose poems in Xue Lu Temple. Baoyu and Xiangyun knew that a piece of venison was prepared at noon, so they agreed to roast venison in Xue Lu Temple.
When eating roast venison, Baoyu said with a smile, "No, we'll eat it on the fire." Li Wan said, "That's all." I saw my wives take the iron stove, fork and wire. ...
At that time, the way of barbecue was very simple, and the seasoning was not complicated. It was just baked with fire and sprinkled with salt. This time, except for Daiyu, who was unable to eat because of her weak spleen and stomach, thirteen or four people, including Xifeng, Pinger and several guests from Jia's house, sat around the fire to eat barbecue and write poems while drinking. It's really beautiful. Because venison is very common, but it is difficult for everyone, so the perfection this time has made roast venison a delicious food in memory.
Since it is a poetry club, it is not enough to add extra roast venison. At that time, there were bad quails, steamed taro, and seasonal fruits such as tangerines, yellow oranges and olives. These are snacks, but they are all suitable for parties.
Wang Xifeng is a gourmet.
Wang Xifeng can be regarded as a gourmet. There are always all kinds of delicious food in her yard. For example, Wang Xifeng invited Jia to dinner, and Jia Lian's wet nurse happened to be there. Wang Xifeng prepared ham stewed elbow for the wet nurse, advised Li's spicy pheasant to go away, and prepared fried quail for Mrs. Xing. In winter, Wang Xifeng prepared pheasants for Jia Mu. Wang Xifeng knows Jia Mu's heart best, but Jia Mu doesn't like to eat much. The food cooked by Wang Xifeng is delicious.
The food prepared in the New Year is always full of festive atmosphere, perhaps because we don't eat much on weekdays, so these things are delicious occasionally. After finishing a series of activities in the New Year, we began to eat. At this time, we had a lovesickness banquet. Men and women sat in the west, offering Tu Su wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruit and wishful cake. These foods are symbols of good luck. Although they are not necessarily delicious, they sound very interesting and special.
Xiangyun burned her mouth after eating glutinous rice balls.
Children generally prefer to eat glutinous rice balls, that is, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. Because the Lantern Festival is sweet and glutinous, and because it represents reunion, this is the scene that Jia Mu likes and the lively atmosphere that Baoyu likes.
After the soup was served for a while, Yuanxiao was served again. Grandmother Jia ordered the play to stop: "Poor children, give them some soup and vegetables before singing." He also ordered them to eat some fruits, jiaozi and other things.
Tangyuan is an indispensable food for the Lantern Festival, and Jia Mu is the kindest and most considerate elder to the children, so when she eats Yuanxiao with her family, she will also think of the children singing in the opera, so she will prepare Yuanxiao and various fruits for them.
On the Lantern Festival, one kind of food that has to be mentioned is wine. On this day, children can drink with their elders aboveboard and propose a toast to them. Although they expressed respect for their elders, they also satisfied their appetite. People often say that Baoyu drinks on weekdays, but drinking on this day can be very enjoyable.
Baoyu and Daiyu also did a bold thing because of drinking. When Baoyu was ordered to propose a toast to Daiyu, Daiyu gave him the wine instead of drinking it, which was a manifestation of their open love. The scene at that time was not bold. The love between Daiyu and Baoyu is frank, so they don't care about other people's eyes, and they don't need to pay attention to their manners. Their love is brave and bold, and they dare to challenge the feudal system to bring the most beautiful love.
Lantern Festival will be very lively until very late, so it is necessary to prepare a snack after dinner. Jia Mu also has high requirements for the choice of midnight snack. Xi-feng wanted to make jujube glutinous rice porridge, but Grandmother Jia felt bored with sweetness, and she only had sweet almond tea.
Second, Jia's fun things for the New Year are all created by himself. New ideas and intentions are creativity. There are no specific entertainment programs for Jia's New Year. Many interesting things are created by themselves. The joy of the new year lies in the combination of new ideas and creativity. Interesting things are the result of free creation.
Poetry reading around the stove in winter is a rare romance. Poetry club is the favorite activity of young ladies and gentlemen in Jia family. They often get together to play. It is very romantic to recite poems around the stove in winter. Xiangyun is quick-witted, so she is good at defeating Dai Yu, Baoqin and Baochai, and their performances are especially wonderful.
This time, Baoyu was naturally the last in the poetry club, so Baoyu was punished again. Li Wan sent him to Miaoyu to ask for red berries. Snow, red berries and beautiful women are rare beauty in life. When he came back, Xiangyun beat the drum to urge him to write a poem. When the drum was over, he was very unhappy.
Solve riddles; solve lantern riddles; guess riddles on hanging lanterns
Solve riddles on the lanterns is also an indispensable pleasure. Jia Fu: Not everyone can write poetry, but solve riddles on the lanterns is a project that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. Both Wang Xifeng and Jia Mu like it very much. Seeing that everyone is writing poems, they all suggest doing some riddles to play in the first month. Xiangyun's lantern riddles are fun and interesting. No one guesses, only Baoyu knows.
Xiangyun said with a smile, "I wrote a poem" Red Lips ",but it's just a vulgar thing. You guess. " When he said this, he read: "What's the fun of playing the world of mortals across streams and valleys? Fame and fortune are still illusory and will be difficult to continue in the future. " Everyone was puzzled and thought for a long time. Some people guess that it belongs to a monk, some to a Taoist and some to a puppet. Baoyu smiled for a long time "Neither," he said. "I guess it must be a monkey."
Baoyu and Xiangyun have always been the most tacit people. No one guessed Xiangyun's riddle, only Baoyu guessed. Xiangyun is free and easy. She has always been a young lady confined to the boudoir. She is a real celebrity and lives a real life. She can get drunk and fall asleep on the bluestone board, and she can also observe interesting things around her. Her riddle is a prank. It's really comfortable to live peacefully on the clouds. Such auspicious clouds are the most rare.
All kinds of filial animals in Zhuangzi. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the managers of Jiafu Zhuangzi will come to Jiafu to hand in money, grain and goods for one year. In addition to the proper cases, they will also present some interesting animals to the ladies and young masters in Jiafu, such as live deer, live white rabbit, black rabbit, live golden rooster and west duck. There are many strange animals in the Grand View Garden, which decorate the beautiful scenery of the Grand View Garden and enrich people's lives. These small animals shown here have the same effect.

One of the children's favorite activities in the New Year is to receive lucky money. No matter then or now, lucky money is children's favorite activity, because lucky money is a reward for children by elders, and it is also an independent income for children. They can get what they like and do what they like. In the New Year, the hostess of Ningfu made a certain amount of gold and silver naked, just to give people lucky money. The beauty of the Jia family lies in having fun with the people. Every servant and servant can get lucky money, wallet and gold.
In the new year, adults are busy eating New Year's wine everywhere, and children don't have to take part in such unpleasant activities. They can get together to chase Go and play cards. People who have been busy for a year in the new year can relax. Adults don't have to work, and children don't have to go to school and sew. This festival is a festival to enjoy peace and happiness.
One of the entertainment activities in the New Year is to go to the opera, but at this time, there are many restrictions on the repertoire of traditional operas in China, and children cannot choose freely. However, at this time, Jia's opinion is the most important. Jia Fu sang "West Building Meeting" in the New Year, which is also an old-school love story, but the subtlety of this drama in the text is that the improvisation of "Bowen" has been greatly rewarded.
Jia Fu's excitement of going to the opera.
Later, Jia Jia asked Fang Guan of Jiafu Troupe to sing "Seeking Dreams" and only played the violin for Guan Xiaohe, instead of playing the flute. Kwai Guan sang "Huiming Summer Tree" without wiping his face. Jia has a high appreciation of traditional Chinese opera, and she is very simple in musical instruments and doesn't need to dress up, so she is very particular about the skills of the actors.
It can be seen that in order to cater to the master's happiness, the little actors in Jia Jiaban should not only have "double talents", but also have the ability to improvise. A little something to please the host from time to time. Ordinary people are happy and quiet during the New Year, which is their hardest time, but as long as they perform well during the New Year, they will get many rewards.
Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "He's clever, but it's also difficult." He said a word "reward". The three daughters-in-law had already prepared the dustpan, and when they heard the word "reward", they went to the pile of loose money on the table. Each of them walked onto the stage with a dustpan and said, "Ancestors, aunts and in-laws rewarded Bowen for buying fruit!" " As he spoke, he threw the money on the stage and only heard the money ring on the stage.
Besides watching traditional Chinese opera, listening to books is also a necessary recreational activity. The two female storytellers first told the Lady Dowager Phoenix, and it was through this story that the Lady Dowager criticized the story of "a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman" in Chinese opera. Many people say this is an explanation for Baoyu and Daiyu's bold drinking behavior before. Later, Grandmother Jia stopped listening to books and listened to them play Your Legend.
Wang Xifeng's "Bright Spring Wine Order" tells a joke about plum blossoms. This is a new game, but everyone especially likes to participate. This is a combination of innovation and brains. When Jia Mu said that "the talking daughter-in-law just drank monkey urine", she secretly laughed at Wang Xifeng, so everyone laughed. Later, Wang Xifeng used the joke of "setting off firecrackers" to let everyone carry on the next program-setting off firecrackers, which also hinted at the end of prosperity.
Setting off firecrackers in Jiafu is the most festive activity.
Set off firecrackers and watch the fun. The last program of Jia's Spring Festival is to set off firecrackers. There is another episode. When firecrackers were set off, Lady Jia hugged Daiyu, Lady Wang hugged Baoyu and Aunt Xue hugged Xiangyun. Only Baochai nobody cares. Wang Xifeng and You Shi also played jokes on each other, and the New Year became more and more joyful.
Third, Jia's New Year is full of happiness and joy. Jia Fu experienced several generations, from the prosperity of Rong Principality to the mediocrity of Jia Zheng era, and then reached a small peak again because of Princess Yuanchun. However, the economic contradiction of Jiafu has gradually become prominent, and the prosperity of Jiafu is only a representation. This new year's Jiafu is still calm and peaceful before the storm.
Jia's New Year is a happy reunion.
Although the Jia family often has various contradictions when various things are combined because of people's talkativeness, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng will try their best to create a happy atmosphere for everyone during the festival. On Jia's New Year, Jia tried to get the whole family together. Everyone, regardless of rank and status, is a simple reunion, so Jia's New Year is full of happiness and joy. Because of the rare calm and beauty of this festival, it became the best moment in Baoyu's memory.
