Hong Kong Zongli Monks

Chapter 107

Zhi Xing didn't stay at Zhuo Kai's house for long. He chatted for a few words and then left!

He escaped again and tried to find Liang Simin, but saw that she was not there, so he didn't care. If he saw her by chance, he would say hello. If he didn't, he would forget it.

Since her cancer was cured, I saw her face, she doesn't look like someone who died prematurely.

Besides, the decorations are the same as before, and they must still be here, in her position, without special circumstances, how could Zhuo Kai let her go back to be a policeman.

It is not easy to train an undercover agent, and he has climbed to a high position, even Zhuo Kai is a treasure.

Zhixing didn't see Liang Simin, nor did he run away, but slowly walked out of the building, running so fast, he didn't know where he was going.

It's rare to come out and go shopping.

In the Xia and Shang dynasties, the summer calendar was produced, with the cycle of the moon as a month, and a year divided into twelve months.

Every month, the day when the moon is not visible is the new moon, and the first day of the first lunar month is called the first day of the year, that is, the beginning of the year, also called the year.

The name of the year began in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not officially fixed until the Western Han Dynasty, and it continues to this day.

But in ancient times, the first day of the first lunar month was called "New Year's Day". It was not until the victory of the Revolution of [-] in modern China that the Nanjing Provisional Government stipulated the use of the lunar calendar among the people in order to adapt to the farming season and facilitate statistics.

The Gregorian calendar is implemented in government agencies, factories, mines, schools and groups. The first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar is New Year's Day, and the first day of the first lunar month is called the Spring Festival.

On September 1949, 9, before the founding of New China, at the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, it was approved to use the common Gregorian calendar in the world.

The first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar is set as New Year's Day, commonly known as the Gregorian year, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is usually around the beginning of spring, so the first month of the lunar calendar must be "Spring Festival", commonly known as the lunar year.

Hong Kong people call the Spring Festival "the Lunar New Year", as if this is the correct term, because farmers sow and harvest according to the lunar calendar.

The traditional customs here have been preserved and passed on, such as float parades, lion dances, worshiping gods, asking for fortune-telling, etc., which are basically the same.

Huichun is the name in Cantonese. In fact, it refers to the Spring Festival couplets, door couplets, blessing stickers, etc. posted during the Chinese New Year.

However, in recent years, Hong Kong people have gradually no longer limited to Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures at home during the Lunar New Year.

Even so, the original intention of posting Huichun is the same as pasting Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures, taking its auspicious meaning, hoping that everything will be smooth and safe in the coming year.

Lion dances, dragon lantern dances, etc. will appear in some villages and walled villages in the New Territories, but it is difficult to see them on the streets of urban areas.

Firecrackers and firecrackers are all prohibited in Hong Kong, but since [-], every year on the evening of the second day of the lunar calendar, a grand fireworks display will be held on Victoria Harbor. A show is up.

Of course, it's different in the countryside. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so who cares, as long as the place is not burned.

The most Hong Kong-flavored signature Chinese New Year dish is "Poon Choi".

This dish is stewed with rich ingredients such as squid, mushrooms, fish maw, prawns, hair vegetables, braised pork, etc. in a pot-shaped container, symbolizing family reunion and auspiciousness.

The "Nostoc oyster sauce" is made by stewing Nostoc and dried oysters together, which means making money and good market.

On the second day of the lunar new year, when the married daughter returns to her natal home, her husband and son-in-law will also accompany her, so it is commonly known as "Welcome Son-in-law Day".
It is said that if you go back to your natal home on the first day of the new year, it will make your natal family poorer, so everyone returns to their natal home on the second day of the new year.

And you can't go back to your mother's house empty-handed, you must prepare some gifts, which are called "bringing hands" or "accompanying hands".

Zhixing had no relatives or friends, and he didn't go down the mountain to join in the fun. He managed the medicinal materials and practiced as always.

On the fourth day of junior high school, Feng Laosi came over again with a big bag on his back, ready to be stationed at the Taoist chief.

This time when I came here, I didn’t need to greet him. I already regarded him as my own home.

"Uncle Feng, have you ever thought about taking on a disciple?" After dinner in the evening, seeing that the weather was nice, we sat and chatted outside the Taoist temple.

The mountain breeze is cold, but for the two practitioners, it doesn't feel like anything at all!

"It's not easy to accept a disciple. I've thought about it before, but I'm busy, so I don't have time to teach a disciple!" Feng Laosi shook his head and said.

"If you confiscate an apprentice, won't your master's lineage be cut off?" Zhixing said pointedly.

"There is nothing we can do in this era. None of our three brothers are outstanding!" Feng Laosi said directly without knowing whether he understood what it meant.

Zhixing was taken aback when he heard that, it turned out that there were still brothers, so he asked, "Then where is your brother, is he also in Hong Kong?"

"Eldest senior brother died of a serious illness, and left behind a daughter, who I took with me. Second senior brother, who is also my elder brother, opened a Chinese medicine clinic in Hong Kong Island and gave birth to another daughter. If I confiscated my apprentice, it might be true. Break the inheritance!" Feng Laosi said in a low voice.

It turned out that his niece was his brother's daughter, but at first he thought it was his elder brother's daughter.

"Your elder brother should take in an apprentice to open a Chinese medicine clinic, it's impossible for him to do it alone!" Zhi Xing Zhi Xing said with a heartbeat.

I thought of an old movie "Zombie Family", in which there is a doctor Lin who has only one daughter, but his surname is Lin!
"Accepting that apprentice is just doing odd jobs. He is stupid and stupid. He must not inherit the mantle!" Feng Laosi shook his head when he heard the apprentice of his younger brother's medical center.

"Why does your eldest brother open a medical clinic? He's not professional at all?" Zhixing asked after thinking about it.

Feng Laosi slowly talked about it and found out that his father's surname was Feng, a man from a poor family, and he fell in love with the daughter of a medical clinic owner surnamed Lin.

The owner of the medical clinic has only one daughter, who studied medicine with her father since she was a child, and she is regarded as the apple of her eye, how could she be married off by a poor family.

And because the man surnamed Feng was an orphan, he became a door-to-door son-in-law. The first child's surname was Lin, and the second child's surname was Feng.

His eldest brother, surnamed Lin, wanted to study medicine and inherited the Lin family medical clinic.

By chance, I met a Taoist priest from Maoshan who came over during the war. Seeing that their brothers were very talented, he accepted them as disciples.

Taoist priest Maoshan originally had an orphan, so he was the eldest disciple, the second disciple was his eldest brother, and the youngest was Feng Laosi.

Because his elder brother wanted to study medicine and Taoism, and he didn't end up on the road of catching ghosts and demons. After their mother died, he inherited the Lin family medical clinic.

And Feng Laosi was the last apprentice, who became a closed disciple, interested and talented, and their master passed on what he had learned all his life to him.

When their senior brother died of illness, their daughter was still a child, and their senior sister-in-law ran away again.

Feng Laosi's eldest brother also has a family, and finally the upbringing of their senior brother's daughter falls on Feng Laosi.

How could a big man who practiced Taoism take care of children, besides, there was not much money in hunting ghosts and killing demons at that time.

Feng Laosi had no choice but to become a policeman and hire someone to take care of the children, so he could raise his niece to adulthood.
