All kinds of New Year's goods are sold well at the end of the year, but this year the sales of fireworks and firecrackers in Yangjiacun, even in Jiaocheng City, and several surrounding counties and cities have dropped much compared to previous years.
This phenomenon is actually abnormal, because the Spring Festival is the busiest season for fireworks sales every year. During the Spring Festival, you can buy less New Year’s goods at home, but you should buy as many firecrackers as you want. Even if you don’t want to bring too many firecrackers to the grave, pick them up at night. You always have to put them aside when making dumplings during the New Year, right?
The reason why there is such an abnormal sales of fireworks and firecrackers is that one is because several nearby counties and cities are now focusing on the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, and the other is because of rural tourism, both of which require a good natural environment as a basis.
Of course, this does not mean that setting off fireworks and firecrackers will definitely pollute the environment. There has been no pollution in China for thousands of years. On the contrary, there has always been a saying that these things are used for sulfur disinfection.
But excessive pollution is certain. After all, a small amount of sulfur can be used for disinfection, but excessive sulfur will definitely cause poisoning.
Nowadays, people are obsessed with comparison. If my neighbor buys two boxes of fireworks, I will buy four boxes. If your neighbor buys four boxes, he will buy eight boxes.
For the cannons set off during the New Year dumplings, you bought the 10,000-gun cannon, then I bought the 50,000-gun cannon, and the 100,000-gun cannon.
In short, it's not that I don't have money now, nor can I afford it. Since I don't care about this expense, I naturally want to earn this face. The fireworks and firecrackers set off at the end of the year created a smoky atmosphere like the smog of later generations.
Therefore, last year, the relevant official leaders of several major areas where traditional Chinese medicine was cultivated were put together. If you completely banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, as well as the burning of paper money to worship ancestors at the end of the year, it would be obviously unreasonable to do this across the board.
Since a direct ban is not feasible, it can only be limited to protect traditional customs and protect the environment.
Coupled with the benefits this year in the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine and rural tourism, people in the countryside are also looking forward to next year's revenue, so this year's limited purchase of fireworks and firecrackers has been implemented very smoothly.
There are no fixed standards, and rural people never like things that are too formal, but everyone has a scale in mind.
For example, the number of cannons set off for dumplings is RMB 10,000, a family can buy three or four fireworks, two for New Year's Eve, and one or two for ancestor worship.
When worshiping ancestors, don’t burn paper money so high that it piles up in front of the old tomb. It’s even higher than the old tomb. Those who knew it were visiting graves, but those who didn't know thought it was setting fire.
In short, everyone should be careful not to overdo it. As for the second-rate people who insist on buying more, they will use this to make a big deal.
You must know that whether it is the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine or rural tourism, these are the two major sources of income in the village now. You have to do something special to steal the spotlight.
There are many ways to make it impossible for you to live in the countryside. Cutting off people's money is like killing your parents. What's more, you, a bad guy, are destroying the jobs of everyone in the village. It's strange that you can continue to live in the village.
"The people who bring fireworks to our place to sell this year must be crying." Xiao Liang said as he came out of the store with two boxes of fireworks and walked with General.
Compared with the sales volume of fireworks in the previous two years, the sales volume of fireworks in a nearby urban area this year was not only miserable for the dealers, but also the sales volume of the fireworks factory was broken.
For example, his family has made a lot of money in the past few years. During the Chinese New Year, it is not enough to spend a little money on cigarettes to have fun. That is enough for the whole car. I don’t know what they thought Yangjiacun was doing here. There is a fireworks show, and the show takes a long time.
Not only during the Chinese New Year, there are also weddings and funerals, birthday gifts for the elderly, and birthdays for children. There are countless firecrackers and fireworks that you can’t even imagine.
"It's true that life will be difficult, but it's not as miserable as you think. These business people are well-informed, and they probably got the message in advance not to sell goods to us.
In fact, it’s better to set off less of these things. You didn’t know that in the past two years, when the fireworks and firecrackers were put together, plus hundreds of kilograms of incense were burned, the whole village was filled with smoke, like a cultivator. I have to wear a mask when sleeping at home, otherwise the air I breathe will be uncomfortable. "The general couldn't help but say.
Although he hasn't heard that his mother-in-law's family works in the county town, he knows some people in the county town and often travels back and forth, so he knows more about this than Xiaoliang does.
"You two, hurry up and stop wasting your time. Send your things home and run together. Before dinner, run around the village. After dinner, leave an hour to eat and run around again." Yang Dongxu, who was nodding his head not far away, said to shouted the two men carrying the fireworks.
"Come on, come on!" The faces of General and Xiao Liang, who were chatting casually, instantly fell.
To be honest, the exercise these days is really killing me. I think they are all in their thirties, and some of the children who got married early are in their teens and are in junior high school.
Outside, he is considered a boss, and in front of others, he is a man of five and six with dignity. But these past few days I have almost been exhausted.
The glorious image of the big boss and the representative figure of Yangjia Village was gone forever, leaving everyone with the only impression of him being sweaty and panting.
However, although he looks miserable, he is getting more and more energetic. Especially seeing the envy in the eyes of many people watching the excitement made him even more motivated when training.
As the representative dragon dance of Yangjiacun, not everyone can get the spot. I didn’t see Yang Dongxu’s uncle Shengli likes to be in the limelight. After the meeting, he wanted to go out the back door and join the dragon dance team, but he was directly scolded?
In the past, when meeting people of the senior generation such as Shengli and Yinshan, Xiaowu and the others would respectfully call them uncle, even if they were doing well.
Sometimes I would even get a few words from these uncles.
Now looking at the envy, jealousy, hatred, or encouragement of the elders who used to talk about me, exercise is nothing. As long as you don't practice to death, you will practice to death. You can't say anything like the first dance. It’s shameful when the dragon represents it.
The one who needs to be embarrassed at this time is not his own people, it is the whole family, or even the whole Yangjia Village people, so they have worked overtime in the past two days to practice, even though they know that there will be more intense training waiting for them after the New Year. These people are both resistant and physically actively involved.
"Come on, come on, run, run. The temperature is now minus three or four degrees. If you don't take off this coat, you will easily catch a cold if you sweat and run."
The coach of the dragon dance will not be able to come until the third year of the new year. No matter how anxious Yangjiacun is, you can't let the coach come here before the new year, right?
Besides, the coach is called here so early. In the past few days, he has also been doing physical training to lay the foundation. It doesn't matter whether there is a coach or not. Mr. Xuan is here.
Yang Dongxu has been training since he was a child. And to promote traditional Chinese medicine sports physiotherapy to the world stage, a small basic training is not a problem. So he temporarily became the practice squad coach.
While teaching, he also improved his physical fitness. He has indeed slacked off in physical training in the past few years, and the leading position of the dragon dance is the heaviest part, so he also needs to work hard on his physical fitness. It's time to drop the chain.
