People have years, I have no years, and cooking pig's head needs cash.
If the times change tomorrow, we will celebrate the New Year every day.
Related legend:
Lv Mengzheng's parents died in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his family was very poor. He used to go out begging and had little food and clothing for many years. On the eve of the Spring Festival one year, his neighbors were busy grinding rice and noodles, killing pigs and sheep, sewing new clothes and buying firecrackers. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival was everywhere. As the saying goes, "Xue Rui heralds a good year", but this sudden snow is really worse for Lv Mengzheng. There is no rice in the jar and no money in the bag. There are wives and children at home, so we must get some meat for them during the New Year. To this end, Lv Mengzheng decided to put down the scholar's shelf and brazenly went to the butcher's shop in the west of the village to buy meat on credit. He said that the butcher finally promised to give him a pig's head on credit and agreed to give money after the Spring Festival. Lv Mengzheng happily went home with a pig's head.
Think about it: Lv Mengzheng has no warm clothes, no food for the night, no farm work, no business, just reading blindly, and he is a penniless bookworm. I don't think it's easy for him. What can I do in the future? Give him the pig's head on credit. I'm afraid that the steamed stuffed bun will hit the dog, and I'll never come back. Might as well get the pig back as soon as possible. So, he finally came to Lu's home. I saw the Lu family, old and young, happy, fragrant and festive. When the butcher saw that the pig's head had been cooked in the pot, he asked Lv Mengzheng for money. No matter how Lv Mengzheng promised, the butcher refused. Butcher Zhang saw that there was no cash to give, so he picked up the boiled pig's head from the pot and left. Lv Mengzheng is very helpless. He raised his pen and wrote on the wall: "People have years, but I have no years. I want cash when I cook a pig's head. If the weather changes tomorrow, I will celebrate the New Year every day. "
