Chapter 368 A Night of Dragon and Fish Dance (Ch 368)

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve,

The song of the forsythia has already sounded in the street.

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan went to the street and bought some red tiles, preparing to paste them on the courtyard.

It was the first time for Li Zhien and her friends to celebrate Chinese New Year in China. They stared at the red festive couplets and window decorations curiously.

In their two countries, one does not have the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets, and the other country actually pastes white Spring Festival couplets.

At this moment, seeing the festive red spring couplets and window decorations, everyone was as happy as children and kept taking pictures around them.

Qi Jia only pasted two Chinese characters for “Fu”. After they understood how to paste them, they stopped Qi Jia and rolled up their sleeves and began to paste them carefully.

“What are you looking at?”

Qi Jia was also happy to be free. Seeing Zhang Ruonan sitting under the eaves alone and watching Tik Tok, he approached and asked curiously,

“Do you want to see it?” Zhang Ruonan looked up at him, smiled and handed the screen to him.

After a while, two people burst into laughter from under the eaves!

Lee Ji-eun came over with a pair of paper-cuts in her hands, ready to stick them on the windows behind them.

After hearing the laughter, they walked forward in confusion and wanted to take a look, but Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan quickly covered their phones nervously.

“What are you hiding from me?”

“Nothing!” Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan shook their heads at the same time and said in unison: “Nothing!”

“I don’t believe it. Take it out and let me see it.” Li Zhien pretended to grab it.

Zhang Ruonan quickly stuffed the phone into Qi Jia’s hand. Men and women should not touch each other, so Qi Jia quickly waved his hand to stop Li Zhien from rushing over.

“I know you’re anxious, but don’t be anxious. Let me listen to the sound for you first. If you’re still curious, I’ll show you, okay?”

“Mysterious, come on, hurry up,” Li Zhien rolled her eyes and said,

“Alas, curiosity kills the cat.” Qi Jia shook his head and tapped the screen of his mobile phone. Then he heard a strong and powerful male voice coming from the speaker.

“Your salt, my vinegar. Chaoshan people, pay attention to the rice and the pot, and go to bed late!”

Li Zhien listened very seriously at first, but when she heard the second sentence, her eyes suddenly widened, her right lip unconsciously tilted upward, and she slapped Qi Jia on the shoulder.

“Ah! Siba!”

Qi Jia spread his hands helplessly, “If I don’t show it to you, you’ll snatch it away. If I show it to you, you won’t be happy.”

“Ah Yixi!”

Li Zhien punched Qi Jia hard again, then saluted the camera with a standard military salute and shouted in Chinese,

“Dahan Republic! Zhongcheng!”

The netizens in the live broadcast room were a little confused at first, not knowing what was going on. It was not until someone who had watched the video explained it that everyone understood the reason.

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Your salt, my vinegar.]

[I didn’t expect the general to care about the rice and pots of the Chaoshan people]

[Just came back from watching it, no wonder Ji-eun was so nervous, it made me laugh to death]

[The general’s kindness is compounded by interest, and cannot be repaid from generation to generation]

[It turns out that what is shown in the movie is real, and all Chinese people have crooked mouths]

…

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets and window decorations, the group set out for Zhanqi Village.

At this time, Zhanqi Village was already full of tourists from home and abroad. When the program team’s car drove to the entrance of the village,

They were immediately surrounded by their fans. If Chen Le had not made arrangements in advance and brought people to maintain order, they might not even be able to open the car door.

After getting off the car, everyone did not delay and hurried all the way to the ancestral hall.

Then they were busy changing their costumes and putting on makeup. In order to provide tourists with a better experience, all the performers had to wear Hanfu this time.

The program team prepared flying fish robes for the male guests and horse-faced skirts for the female guests.

After a long while, everyone changed their clothes and put on makeup.

In an instant, four scenes were stunning.

There is no need to talk about Qi Jia. After all, he had appeared in ancient costumes in “The Untamed” before. Everyone has seen it. He is definitely a male god in ancient costumes.

“Does it look good?” Zhang Ruonan stood in front of Qi Jia and turned around happily and asked,

She wore a red Ming-style square-collared double-breasted gown with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns and dragon and phoenix elements embroidered in gold thread.

The lower body is a dark green horse-faced skirt, which is also embroidered with various exquisite Han elements in gold thread.

Her long hair was tied into a gentle and lovely girlish hairstyle. When she walked, the hair accessories on her head swayed gently, making her look playful and smart.

[Ah, Nan Nan’s ancient costume is so beautiful]

[So sweet, if a girl said this to me, I would be willing to give my life to her]

[Qi Bao’s ancient costume is so handsome]

[I think Qi Jia’s ancient costume is very ordinary. He has no beard and wears a flying fish suit, looking like Wei Zhongxian]

[IU looks good in ancient costumes too]

…

Night falls,

Under the moonlight, a hazy warm light was reflected on the ancient stone road, which was the light emitted by the fish lanterns in the hands of the tourists.

Suddenly, a low sound of gongs and drums came faintly from the distance. Gradually, the sound became clearer and clearer, and the rhythm became more festive and lively.

In an instant, everyone stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a bunch of fireworks with a long tail rising up and exploding in the air.

At the end of the long street, a small and exquisite guide lamp appeared, and then a team of countless fish lanterns swam over.

Leading the group was a gigantic “King Carp”, with eyes inlaid with red glaze, sparkling under the light. The huge fish body swam flexibly under the control of the master craftsman.

Qi Jia and the others were arranged to stand on both sides of the Magikarp, each holding two small and exquisite fish lanterns.

Zhang Ruonan walked in front of Qi Jia, holding a fish lantern in her hand. She jumped happily like a little rabbit, with a playful smile on her face all the time.

The cameraman was very sensible and pointed the camera at her, giving her a close-up of her smiling face.

Netizens in the live broadcast rooms at home and abroad were instantly shocked.

This lovely appearance not only fascinated many men in China,

Even many overseas netizens were attracted by Zhang Ruonan, and they kept refreshing the live broadcast room to ask what the girl’s name was and where they could see her.

On both sides of the street, the fans who had been waiting from day till night were all excited when they saw Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan appear.

They jumped up and waved their arms desperately, shouting the two people’s names.

“Qi Jia, Happy New Year!”

“Qi Bao, look at me, I love you!”

“Ruonan Ruonan, stay away from Qi Jia”

“Zhang Ruonan, no kissing scenes allowed in the new year, do you hear me?”

Hearing the fans’ calls, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan also raised their fish lanterns and shouted to the audience on both sides with a smile,

“Happy New Year!”

After receiving the response, the fans immediately responded to the two with even louder blessings.

It was the first time for the four foreign guests to experience such a lively New Year’s Eve. They were having a blast and were dancing the fish lanterns more vigorously than the masters.

If the staff hadn’t held them back, the four of them would have rushed in among the tourists.

As the team marched, brilliant fireworks rose from both sides of the road from time to time, and the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers filled the sky.

The grand and noisy scene was very similar to the one described in the Song Dynasty poem “Qingyu’an Lantern Festival”, where the light of the jade pot turned and fish and dragons danced all night.

At the same time,

Overseas netizens who watched this scene through the live broadcast have gone completely crazy.

The number of searches on foreign websites related to China travel has skyrocketed, and many related guides have appeared on the Internet, such as:

[If you want to experience the most traditional New Year, go to Huaxia]

How to experience the biggest New Year festival in China

[A video teaches you how to enter China smoothly]

…

Under these strategies, some clowns such as Yuehou and Feihou will come out to accuse us, saying that the New Year is the New Year for all mankind and should not be called China New Year.

However, not long after these comments came out, they were criticized by netizens from other countries and the netizens deleted their comments and ran away, without domestic netizens having to take any action.

That night, the foreigners who had never seen the world reached their peak of yearning for China.

Besides Jackie Chan, they also remembered the names of two Chinese artists.

One is called Qi Jia and the other is called Zhang Ruonan.
