章節 90: Chapter 90: Giving Gifts_1

Great Chu's custom held that the New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten only after nightfall, and it was a meal attended to with much attention to detail. It wasn't simply about having fish and meat on the table, but also about continuing to eat the leftovers until the third day of the first lunar month.

Although eating leftovers for three days was not beneficial to one's health, this custom carried within it a family's hopes for a good year to come. Moreover, it was an occasion that came but once a year, so Mo Yan prepared food to last for the three days.
