In a blink of an eye, the end of the year approached, and by the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year began to rise.
These years, people lived frugally, and the more so, the more they valued the Spring Festival.
After toiling for a year, regardless of family circumstances, everyone made an effort to ensure good food, drink, and clothing during these few days.
A happy and prosperous Spring Festival implied a year of good days ahead.
It's not an exaggeration to say that saving money for the New Year was a tradition for many families at the time, with some even borrowing money when unable to save, just to buy several pounds of meat.
Even state-owned enterprises and institutions had longer holidays for the New Year compared to later generations.
After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Chuxia's cooked food business began to pick up, and many customers were willing to spend more just to taste Qin's Cooked Food.
