We celebrate Tet on the occasion of the New Year as if to entertain the children in the house.
Where do children not like to eat and play? Therefore, when Vietnamese people celebrate the New Year, it is often the time when 9 months of schooling for teenagers and children are about to end, they have to organize a satisfying occasion for the " future owner of the country" generation to "let" the book.
Although it is also the time of the silkworm crop that has just been harvested and is about to enter the season according to the traditional agricultural calendar, this Tet is not only to welcome the breeze of rice fields or offerings to thank ancestors, the land of heaven has blessed the golden harvest season. It is for children.
That is not the case, because nature also forces fruit trees to bear the best fruits on this occasion to serve the "blue-nose fertile fields". Here are purple off-season plums, red intestines, round yellow intestines like holding a newborn's hand, with enough sweet and crispy sourness.
Just see the plum plate so that the pinch of salt and chili peppers red beams are thinking about the Tet holiday "kill insects", immediately mouth full of gastric, at this time telling the trumpet, blowing the flute to die. Not only plums, there are all kinds of plums, Tam Hoa plums also massively showing off this month, keep running from the upside down to the plains.
But the children also love the plum fruit extremely. They choose big, round, not distorted, then lift the shirt to wipe the chalk until the plum is glossy like a giant ball. They looked at the results of cleaning, showing off and biting the blistering is really refreshing, despite the plum juice flowing.
There must be peach blossoms, because these two fruits bloom together, bear fruit together and are close to each other. The peach trees in Vietnam are not as big as the long-lived peach trees that Trang Quynh "rabbed from the squad of Tam" of King Trinh, but are small and sharp. That is why it is called the crab mine peach, but it is eaten crunchy and has its own flavor.
But worthy of the pleas most with the plum fruit at the fifth year of the fabric, especially the Thanh Ha lychee is in a ripe period. But the litchi fruit was so stubborn, not stubborn, wobbly, and threw like plums. The most beautiful cloth is on the tree, picking down is down to the code, to the next day is the displacement, until the third day is broken, sweet turns into sour.
Therefore, just pick them down and display them and eat them right away to fully enjoy the fresh good qualities of the seaweed "sweet as sugar, cool as sugar, the slashing fluid is like a knife, the grains are as small as a stick". And children also love fabric because it is delicious, sweet, and has nuts to make toys after eating.
Another fruit that the children also love and die from fatigue on the Lunar New Year feast is jackfruit. In ancient times, jackfruit in the eyes of children was no different from pigs, it was very rare to eat, because ripe jackfruit was often taken to the market to sell, but if you like to eat it, you should eat it.
The old "rich rural" standard was having wooden houses and jackfruit trees, not a joke. Therefore, the children's song "Qua" also had to include jackfruit, but the price was changed to "anything I love, please say that jackfruit" which was more than "di chi chit".
How can you not be fans of the golden, fragrant, chewy, chewy, fragrant jackfruit bags or the soft, sweet congee jackfruit pieces? Letting the tray out, place the jackfruit as big as a water carrying box and then use a double-edged, four-edged, eight-edged sword. While cooking, use a green scented squash leaf to mop the plastic on the jackfruit and rice knives.
Getting the squash leaves and jackfruit plastic stuck like that, then I opened it as much as I could, and the plastic bulbs were clean. How is it wonderful to put golden jackfruit bags in your mouth, truly "as good as jackfruit bags", the fragrance flies throughout 3 compartments, the fragrance of 10 fingers, the fragrance of teeth, the fragrance of tongue.
Eat out your bags to find the less sweet, less fragrant but very crispy supices. Even the small grass jelly is taken out, washed, dried to make salad or stir-fried with delicious onions. As for boiled or roasted jackfruit, the filling is ten thousand times thicker than macadamia nuts, walnuts or almonds.
Therefore, children in the past love jackfruit. On the fifth day, they chose jackfruit trees to be the object of "trees" rather than areca tree, grapefruit tree in the garden. On that day, the jackfruit trees that had not been fortune -telling would be hit by the children and interrogated why they refused to bear fruit.
One child will climb a jackfruit tree, hide himself in a green canopy, while the other children will stand around the base, holding a hand and wrenching clouds, just falling on the jackfruit tree, the jackfruit trunk asks: "Mite, why don't you bear fruit this year?".
One on the tree will play the role of a jackfruit tree, trembling and installing corn, answering that he was not well cared for last year so he was lazy and had not produced fruit, that he was too busy playing so he had not produced fruit. The child was used to splash and splash a few black spits, then the "mit tree" confided that it would produce fruit next season.
However, it is very sacred, only eating a few wheezes, being questioned a few times, the following year the jackfruit tree will bear fruit. Are they afraid of being stabbed or are they producing fruit because of the spirit of the New Year with a strong agricultural mark? Who knows, just every time they are surveyed on the day of insect killing, every tree can eat the flower and bear fruit to make children happy.
Not only can children eat all kinds of tropical summer fruits and enjoy delicious cakes such as banh gio and banh giay, but they also enjoy many other "privileges and benefits". Although they have not been allowed to drink alcohol, no one has banned children from eatingills and spicy, spicy wine even this day, even though their faces are as red as a goose and swollen after eating.
In many places, right from the fourth night, before going to bed, children are taken by their parents to cover the nails and toenails. The next day, removing the leaves of the nail will be very red, in addition to showing good health. The fifth day is the day when the older girls are pierced.
Children's health is the top concern of parents, so on the day of the Lunar New Year, they are given spices and colorful ngu to exorcise, sleep peacefully, not cry, and not panic. In some places, parents take their children to the garden to choose a tree, then tell that tree: "I sell all the sickness and disease to the frog" as if selling the tree for good luck.
Almost all of the actions of Vietnamese people during the Lunar New Year revolve around the theme of children. That is why New Year's Day is a children's festival.
