I continued to recount some things. On the morning of New Year's Eve, around 10 a.m., I made oatmeal with hot water, added three spoonfuls of yak milk powder, ate peach shortbread, and also Macao-style wheat shortbread almond strips.

The live-streaming app seemed to offer good deals, so my family bought ten bags of that particular brand of milk powder at once, nearly thirty yuan a bag. They said it was probably a bit better quality than regular milk powder, as it contained yak milk. I've bought many different kinds of milk powder, some very common, others of higher quality. The All-Nutritional brand milk powder was good, but it cost ten or even tens of yuan per serving, which I thought was too expensive. We finished a few sample bags and didn't buy any more. Some sellers price their sample packs low, while the full-size products are quite expensive.

My family used the machine to boil two eggs. The machine is small, plugged in, and is said to be a foreign brand. It cost about 200 yuan. It can only boil two eggs at a time, which is equivalent to the standard of an egg cooker that costs a few dozen yuan.

After breakfast, I boiled two more eggs. My family told me that there's a saying online that during Chinese New Year, you roll boiled eggs on your clothes while saying auspicious words. I'm keeping these boiled eggs for use at midnight or on New Year's Day—this is a custom I've never heard of before.

Watching television programs, one sees comprehensive coverage of the joyous and lively Spring Festival celebrations, with people rejoicing and aspiring to a better future. During the holidays, some people travel to scenic spots in other places, some buying New Year's goods, and others experiencing unique festive activities.

Travel during the Lunar New Year period has reached a new high, with an estimated peak of 300 to 400 million people moving around each day – a truly astonishing figure.

Some scenic spots are bustling with activity, while others, like the harbor and free trade zones, attract a lot of attention. People go shopping and relax in the surrounding areas. Because it's peak season, some places require more money, but many people are willing to pay, feeling that as long as they're comfortable, that's enough.

In big cities, many restaurants have already sold out of New Year's Eve dinners. Prices range from several hundred to over a thousand yuan, and reservations may be impossible. If you go to a restaurant right after the Lunar New Year, it will likely be very busy, with long queues and slow service. Some restaurants offer meal gift boxes; you simply unpack, heat, and plate the food when you need it, and some of the dishes are quite delicious.
