It is a very grand festival.

Not only the emperors of Kaifeng held grand ceremonies to worship their ancestors and heaven.

The officials at all levels of the imperial court

There are holidays on the three days of Winter Solstice, New Year's Day, and Cold Food Festival.

Happy Holidays!

Chapter 1563 Winter Solstice

Those are the merchants who usually work from dawn till dusk.

They will also close their shops for three days to celebrate the festival.

As for ordinary people,

On this day,

They will also change into new clothes.

Preparing food,

Worship the ancestors!

This is close to the autumn harvest.

It hasn't been too long.

In the homes of those common people,

Most of them also had some surplus grain.

Therefore, on the winter solstice,

They will all have a good holiday.

After all, it's almost the end of the year.

Most ordinary people are short of money.

Therefore, among the common people,

That's how the saying "a fat winter and a lean year" came about.

Liangshan was no exception.

Zhao Yuan announced this early on.

On the winter solstice,

The entire mountain will rest for seven days.

"What are you thinking, my lord?"

Seeing that Zhao Yuan remained silent, Li Shishi

He asked curiously,

"Nothing."

Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"It's just some things that happen in the mountains."

"Let's go for a walk in the mountains,"

"The snow scene on that mountain,"

"It's much prettier than this courtyard."

Chunmei, who was standing nearby, heard this.

They hurriedly went to find the oil-paper umbrella.

Zhao Yuan held up an oil-paper umbrella.

He put his arm around Li Shishi and walked out of the courtyard.

Every time the two of them landed,

Then you can hear a "creaking" sound.

Li Shishi looked at the footprints behind her.

It felt like going back to childhood.

Pulling Zhao Yuan,

Excitedly in the snow,

They left behind all sorts of footprints.

The two strolled through the snow.

The soldiers on duty in this village,

At Qiong Ying's urging,

They began clearing the snow from the roads.

Li Shishi saw her own footprints

They were quickly wiped out by the soldiers.

She immediately pouted in displeasure.

"alright,"

Zhao Yuan smiled and took Li Shishi's hand, saying...

Even if the soldiers don't sweep,

“Those footprints won’t be long,”

"It will be covered by snow."

"We've been out for quite a while,"

"You're all cold."

"Let's go back first."

The two turned and went down the mountain back to the courtyard.

Then Chunmei and Jinlian came to greet them.

"My lord, my lady,"

“We’ve already wrapped the wontons,”

"Want to eat now?"

"Okay, go cook it."

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded.

Wonton is a delicacy eaten on the winter solstice during the Song Dynasty.

As for the source of wontons

It's hard to say for sure.

There is a saying,

It was during the Han Dynasty, a thousand years ago.

The Xiongnu in the north frequently harassed the border regions.

This has caused unrest among the people in the border areas.

At that time, in that Xiongnu tribe,

There were two leaders, the Hun and the Tun clans.

They are all extremely vicious.

The people everywhere hated him to the core.

They then wrapped it together with minced meat.

Then take the sound of Hun and Tun.

It was named "wonton".

I hope to eat them.

May we live a peaceful life!

Because in the beginning,

Making wontons is done on the winter solstice.

So since then

That's how the Winter Solstice came to be.

There's a saying that every household eats wontons.

But in later generations,

But it gradually evolved into,

We eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice.

Another theory about the origin of wontons

It refers to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

After King Fuchai of Wu defeated the Yue Kingdom,

They captured King Goujian of Yue alive.

The stunningly beautiful Xi Shi was also among those captured.

So Goujian endured hardship and humiliation.

King Fuchai of Wu

But he felt he had no rivals in the world.

He immediately became complacent and carried away.

He indulged in song, dance, and sensual pleasures all day long.

They did not concern themselves with national affairs.

That year, the Winter Solstice arrived.

As usual, the King of Wu held court.

Received the homage of all officials,

Inside and outside the palace, there was singing and dancing, and peace and prosperity reigned.

Unexpectedly, during the banquet,

Fuchai saw on the table,

And they are all the same delicacies we eat every day.

He immediately felt somewhat displeased.

The beautiful Xi Shi saw this.

So I made some wontons.

Put it in boiling water and boil it.

The wontons instantly transformed into little boats.

It floated to the surface.

Xi Shi presented the soup and wontons.

Fuchai tasted it,
