Whether or not one can receive a lot of money this Spring Festival, whether or not one can go out for a good meal, all depends on their own skill at snagging more red envelopes in front of the wealthy people's doors.
The lion dancers don't just perform in front of the wealthy families' homes; they do the lion dance wherever they go, like estates and properties, greeting the new year with their lions.
Ordinary families give a little red envelope, and even a copper coin counts as money. The properties of wealthy families offer more than just a bit of money. When they see a big red envelope, they play longer, as that's their rule and custom!
Ye Shiqi watched with great interest as the five lions competed for red envelopes; they were showing off their skills, starting with a contest of martial arts on benches and raised platforms.
"Good, very good, spectacular!"
The crowd outside the courtyard erupted into lively cheers, clapping and shouting in approval.
