Seven Crowns

Chapter 228: Chinese carnival



At Kate\'s house, Armand, the mayor, told the curious Lu Wenbin about Dieter Ford\'s history.

The people of Dietford claim that the origins of the Chinese are untestable, and historians can\'t find the clue. Everyone knows that this small town has celebrated the Chinese New Year since 1928.

In the past, we couldn\'t figure out the Chinese lunar holiday, so we decided to choose a date for the New Year in February.

Now that the international standard is in line with the flow of information, and the specific dates of Chinese New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival are known, the date of the Chinese New Year celebrations for the residents of Dietford has also been synchronized with China.

On New Year’s Eve, the residents of Dietford also popularly eat reunion dinners. Fireworks will be set off after 24 o’clock in the morning, red envelopes will be given to children, and dumplings will be eaten during the Spring Festival.

From the first day of the Spring Festival, a five-day parade and carnival will be held throughout the town. The townspeople will wear Chinese-style clothes to participate in the carnival, which is called the "Bavarian Chinese Carnival".

At that time, there will be many European tourists and overseas Chinese from other places to visit, and the local folk activities have been transformed into tourist festivals.

Before the parade began, the townspeople would choose a highly respected local person to be the emperor, and the mayor Amand had to be demoted to the emperor’s minister, under the emperor’s command.

Also choose the queen, concubine, prince, princess and so on.

Then everyone carried the emperor with eight large palanquins to start the town parade, pray for blessings, and sing the Bavarian Chinese national anthem. There were also dragon dances, lion dances, stilts, Peking opera performances and more.

After generations of cultivation, dissemination, and inheritance, the townspeople\'s goodwill towards China is inherent.

This is a European town where all the people are refined, admire China, yearn for China, and make Chinese the official language.

If the Chinese are exquisite, sophisticated and European, Lu Wenbin will feel disgusted, despised, and despised, but among the Europeans, Lu Wenbin will only feel strong joy.

Of course, from what Lu Wenbin has seen and heard, the residents of this small town simply like Chinese culture, and there is no political issue involved, so it is not as disgusting as the domestic foreigners.

This is probably the reason why the German government did not restrict Dieter Ford’s designation of Chinese as the town’s official language, because this is just a local folklore hobby and does not involve political interests.

Lu Wenbin also understands why Kate’s dream since childhood was to find a Chinese boyfriend, even to marry a Chinese, and her parents also accepted Lu Wenbin’s daughter’s Chinese boyfriend very highly.

Of course, the biggest possibility is still because of Lu Wenbin\'s current fame, income, height, appearance and so on.

If Kate were to find a 40-50-year-old Chinese uncle with a beer belly and low income to be her boyfriend, Armand and Mary would have beaten each other out.

At lunch, the Kate family really used chopsticks, including Milo, they all used them very smoothly, no different from the Chinese.

After lunch and a short lunch break, in the afternoon Kate and Milo took Lu Wenbin to visit the town.

Naturally, Lu Wenbin\'s identity was also recognized by the fans in the town.

Originally here is a small town in Bavaria close to Munich. Most of the fans in the town like Bayern Munich. Hoffenheim should be regarded as Bayern\'s rival this season.

But because of Lu Wenbin\'s Chinese identity, not only did he not receive the hostility of these Bayern fans, but everyone ran over to take photos with him, ask for autographs, and so on.

When Milo proudly announced that Lu Wenbin was his sister\'s boyfriend and Dieter Ford\'s son-in-law, several people even changed their camps on the spot to support Lu Wenbin and Hoffenheim.

...

After shopping, he guessed that it was early morning in China. Lu Wenbin called his parents to pay a New Year greeting and told them what he had seen in Dietford.

Lu Chongxin and his wife were also very surprised when they heard that their son and girlfriend Kate was celebrating the Chinese New Year. After asking questions for a long time, they talked with Kate for a while before hanging up the phone.

In the evening, Kate’s family had a reunion dinner, and Lu Wenbin helped prepare two simple Chinese dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded potatoes.

He won\'t if it\'s too difficult.

Then, when eating, there is a smorgasbord of Chinese and Western food on the table.

However, no one cares about the dishes, everyone cares about the New Year atmosphere.

After eating the reunion dinner, after tidying up, I started to prepare dumplings for the next day.

Because I have to participate in the parade the next day, there may be no time to make dumplings, so Kate’s family usually made dumplings the day before and put them in the refrigerator. The next day the parade was hungry and went home to cook and eat.

However, when making dumpling stuffing, he almost made Lu Wenbin laugh.

Probably because she didn\'t understand the Chinese dumpling recipe, Kate\'s mother Mary was going to wrap garlic and German sausage in it.

Although Lu Wenbin is not very good at cooking, he still knows a bit about watching his mother make dumplings.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin took the initiative to chop the fat and lean pork into minced meat, plus appropriate **** and garlic froth, sesame oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, eggs, chopped green onion and other condiments to make meat filling and give it to Kate’s mother and daughter to wrap them. Dumplings.

After the dumplings were made, at around 23 o\'clock in the evening, everyone cooked a few for supper, and the Kate family shouted that they were delicious, saying that they had finally tasted authentic Chinese dumplings.

After 24 o\'clock in the evening, Milo took out a few boxes of fireworks that might have been purchased in a Chinese store, and the family ran to the open space in front of the villa and set them off.

At this time, the entire town was filled with fireworks and firecrackers, lighting up the night sky, crackling firecrackers resounded throughout the town, and a New Year’s celebration was permeated in this town.

After the fireworks were set off and everyone was greeting each other, Lu Wenbin took out a big red envelope and gave it to Milo. Milo was really excited and liked Lu Wenbin\'s brother-in-law even more.

Celebrating the New Year until one o\'clock in the morning, the family fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Wenbin was still in a daze, and was awakened by the sound of drums and gongs outside.

Lu Wenbin opened his eyes, only to find that Kate was already getting dressed.

"Get up, mom\'s dumplings are about to be cooked. After eating the dumplings, we will go to the parade and carnival!" Kate shouted to Lu Wenbin excitedly.

Lu Wenbin\'s spirits lifted up, and immediately stopped dozing off.

Lu Wenbin is still very interested in the New Year carnival in this European town.

While dressing and washing, and going downstairs to eat dumplings for breakfast, Lu Wenbin received a New Year call from the club chairman, coach, and teammates. He was pleasantly surprised.

The teammates also told Lu Wenbin that the club’s official website had sent a congratulatory letter to congratulate him on a happy new year, and many fans below left a message to wish him.

Lu Wenbin used Kate’s computer to log on to the club’s official website. Sure enough, there was a congratulatory letter in the name of the club to congratulate Lu Wenbin on a Happy Chinese New Year. In the message area below, countless fans gave Lu Wenbin New Year blessings, making Lu Wenbin feel broken and warm.

...

Dieter Ford’s Bavarian Chinese Carnival will take five full days~www.novelhall.com~Lu Wenbin wants to return to the club to participate in the competition. Naturally, he and Kate can\'t stay that long.

On the day of the Spring Festival, Lu Wenbin followed Kate to meet the emperors, concubines, officials, soldiers, bearers, etc. who were not dressed up properly, listened to the emperor’s blessings, watched dragon dances, lion dances, Peking opera, stilts and other performances, and talked to Yuanyuan. Fans and overseas Chinese among the foreign tourists who came to see the Bavarian Chinese Carnival kept signing and taking photos, and were interviewed by several reporters who came to the news.

After playing until the afternoon, after returning home and eating dumplings, Lu Wenbin and Kate took the blessings of the Armands and drove on the road back to Rhein Neckar County.

This year’s New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival, although I could not spend it at home in China due to work reasons, I also had a great time.

What Dietfort saw and heard completely dilutes Lu Wenbin\'s homesickness.

The next step is to clean up your emotions and go all out to hit the Bundesliga champions and even the Triple Crown!
