The 24th of the last month

What I do need now.

To be honest, when I am sitting here, typing some lines of text. There is nothing in my mind. Just, reading some pieces of paper to push my centration into other things.
The name of the article is: Hanoi people choose boiled chickens with roses for "Kitchen Gods" farewell ritual.
Vietnamese people prepare a farewell ceremony for the Kitchen Gods to return to the Jade Emperor's palace on the twenty-third day of the last lunar month (tháng Giêng), this is as an usually tradition across Việt Nam.
This year, the day falls on January twenty-fifth.
Chợ Hàng Bè in Quận Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, which is famous for selling food; consists of boiled chicken. There have been a lot of people here from the start of Tuesday morning. A shop can sell 200-300 chicken on this day. But this year, however, due to the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sales will drop.
The boiled chicken with a rose brand place on its beak as a highlight, and fetches from VND400,000 to VND500,000. It is often served with red sticky rice cooked in baby jackfruit flesh of mung bean sticky rice, priced from VND30,000 to VND50,000. One person said, with that price is a bit high, but it's fine, as long as the offerings are brilliant.
The tradition of selling and buying chickens with roses on beaks on the Kitchen Gods farewell day originates about 15 years ago
After reading the article, I myself think that the custom and tradition in Northern provinces is more complicated than in other places in Việt Nam.
This year, my little family also had a farewell ceremony. What I bought is: a colorful cake, some papers, a nice bunch of flower, some fruits, some betel and areca. After this newsletter, I do promise next year our family will have a farewell ceremony with the God that "makes sense".
