Chapter 361 Chinese New Year

During the Chinese New Year, there will never be a shortage of snacks at home.

Jiang Qi's aunt has taught Jiang Wanwan over the years that her policy is to be strict in normal times, but during the Chinese New Year, she can have fun and eat as she wants. Despite the fact that Jiang Wanwan was usually strictly controlled by her aunt, she had to control her snacks and drinks, which made Jiang Wanwan sneak into Jiang Bing's shop for a drink in revenge.

During the Chinese New Year, her eldest aunt asked her to drink and eat freely, but Jiang Wanwan didn't take any snacks or drinks and kept eating fruits.

"You really weigh 100 pounds and have 99 pounds of bones." Jiang Pei looked at Jiang Wanwan who had already eaten half a box of sugar oranges and sighed, "Don't you usually complain in the small group that your mother doesn't let you eat snacks? The slices are just on the table, why didn’t I see you take a bite?”

Jiang Wanwan chuckled: "I don't know why, this kind of food only tastes good when others don't let you eat it."

"By the way, Brother Jiang Qi, when we were on vacation that day, didn't Teacher John say that people who can't go home can go to the amusement park for New Year's Eve dinner tonight? Is it true?" Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.

Jiang Qi nodded slightly, thinking that this could be false.

"certainly."

“Teacher John is so kind!”

"The spring silkworms will die only when their threads are gone, and the wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up. This poem was written specifically for Teacher John!" Jiang Wanwan looked touched, as if she was Old John's number one fan.

Jiang Qi:......

You don’t have to be so moved, Old John isn’t cooking the New Year’s Eve dinner. With Old John's cooking skills, brushing butter on slices of bread and putting them in the bread machine for secondary processing, heating leftovers, and microwaving the food in the microwave are already the limit. It is really too difficult for him to make New Year's Eve dinner. .

This year's New Year's Eve dinner in the amusement park is mainly cooked by Huang Fugui and Feng Ling. Feng Ling is very confident about this New Year's Eve dinner.

Although he has become a human being, Feng Ling feels that the 18-year-old self and the 81-year-old self in the card character state are definitely different. Your 18-year-old self will definitely be more dexterous, more energetic, and the meals you make will be more delicious.

She will definitely defeat Huang Fugui at this year's New Year's Eve dinner and become the most loved New Year's Eve chef!

At first, everyone wanted to invite Old John's students to the amusement park for the New Year's Eve dinner mainly for the fun of it. This idea was brought up by Huang Fugui. The card characters are all celebrating the New Year in the amusement park, and the three dogs are taken home by their chief breeder Wang Haifu to celebrate the New Year together.

Wang Haifu's family is in a town next to the amusement park. His situation is relatively complicated. Jiang Qi only found out about it by overhearing what Sister Liu and the others said.

The reason why Wang Haifu lives in the amusement park all day even though he lives nearby is because there is no one at home. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating a lot of food. He got married and later divorced. His two children were awarded to his ex-wife, who was not here. During the winter and summer vacations, his ex-wife would occasionally send his two children back to live with him. He gets along.

The Chinese New Year means reunion for most people, but for Wang Haifu, it means loneliness. Considering Wang Haifu's situation and the fact that he usually takes care of the three dogs in the amusement park. Jiang Qi used the excuse that it was not convenient to take the three dogs home during the Chinese New Year. He heard that it was very convenient to bring the dogs back near Wang Haifu's home, and asked him if he would be willing to take care of the three dogs temporarily during the Chinese New Year holiday.

Wang Haifu was naturally very happy.

Jiang Qi believes that Wang Haifu's annual meeting this year will be very lively with the level of noisiness of the three dogs.

He has already told Sangou that as long as the house is not broken up, no matter how much trouble there is.

Just when Jiang Qi began to fantasize about whether the three dogs would be like wild dogs when they went to Wang Haifu's house to celebrate the New Year, they would roll in the water-soaked mud pit. Qiao Huifang discovered that the gold cake she bought was not brought over and ordered Jiang Qi to Go back and get it.

Jiang Qi obediently put on his coat and went back to get the gold cake.

After Jiang Qi left, Jiang Wanwan asked: "Sister Bingbing, is Brother Jiang Qi particularly short of money during this time?"

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Bing was confused.

If Jiang Qi was short of money, then there was no one in his family who was not short of money. What gave Jiang Wanwan such an illusion?

"That's why I noticed that he seems to have only worn this coat this winter." Jiang Wanwan said, "From New Year's Day to now, it has been so cold recently. The wind blows hard as if it is free. I have to fight even if I go out wearing a down jacket. Shivering."

"Brother Jiang Qi only wears this thin coat and doesn't change into new clothes during the New Year."

Jiang Wanwan felt something was wrong, something was really wrong.

Jiang Wanwan felt something was wrong, but Jiang Bing thought there was nothing wrong with it and said nonchalantly: "Jiang Qi is like this. He doesn't like buying clothes. He still has a shirt he bought in high school in his wardrobe. He wears it in the summer."

"And there are many boys who are not afraid of the cold. I remember when I was in high school, there were boys in our class wearing shirts to school in winter, and Jiang Qi competed with them."

"Is that so?" Jiang Wanwan was hesitant, and the topic just passed.

By the time Jiang Qi brought the golden cake from home, the topic of conversation between Jiang Bing and the others had turned to visiting graves in the countryside on the first day of the new year.

Returning to his hometown to visit the graves of Jiang Qi’s late grandparents is a regular Spring Festival activity of the Jiang family.

The time for tomb sweeping is usually not fixed, and everyone can go back whenever they are free. Jiang Qi's grandfather was an only son and had no brothers or sisters. This resulted in the Jiang family having few collateral relatives. In addition, Jiang Qi's great-grandfather fled from other places and no one knew who his ancestors were, so the steps for sweeping the tomb were very simple.

I don’t have much contact with relatives during the Chinese New Year.

"You guys think our great-grandfather is literate or uneducated? If he's not literate, he wouldn't be able to name him, but if he's literate, he shouldn't be named this way."

As soon as Jiang Qi entered the door, he heard the reserved chat item for the New Year's Eve - whether Grandpa is educated or not.

This issue is picked up and discussed again every Chinese New Year. It has been discussed for almost ten years and I am not tired of it at all. Whenever everyone is watching TV while waiting for dinner on New Year’s Eve and doesn’t know what to talk about, this is the right question.

"Why did it start again?" Jiang Qi sent the golden cake into the kitchen, moved a small bench to join the discussion, looked around and found that Wen Luo was not there, "Where is Wen Luo?"

"I went to his grandparents' house with my sister-in-law and uncle to celebrate the New Year. This year he went there to celebrate the New Year," Jiang Bing said.

Jiang Wanwan brought the topic back and boldly made unworthy remarks: "Who called grandpa by such a strange name?"

"Jiang Bingsui, you say you are uneducated. These two words are very difficult to write."

"You call it cultured. The name means grasping wheat ears. It's quite simple."

"Maybe our great-grandfather is as wise as he is foolish." Jiang Bing said, "Anyway, I think my grandfather's name is more literate than ours."

Jiang Wanwan \u0026 Jiang Pei \u0026 Jiang Qi:...

Jiang Xiaokang passed by and found that the juniors had already started talking about their biological father's name. He knew that the recent TV series and variety shows must be boring. Everyone had nothing to watch and nothing to talk about, so they started talking about this again.

So Jiang Xiaokang thoughtfully joined the topic and told everyone the story of the past that everyone knew.

That is the history of the Jiang family’s hard work.

The curiosity of the younger generations of the Jiang family about their grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather and great-grandmother they have never met originated from grave sweeping.

Because these elders have been dead for many years, Jiang Xiaokang, Jiang Xiaoliang and others usually rarely mention it to their children. For a long time, Jiang Qi not only felt that his biological father and mother were divorced, he also felt that his eldest aunt was called his eldest aunt, his grandpa was called grandpa, his grandma was called grandma, and his uncle was called uncle.

Not only Jiang Qi felt this way, but Jiang Bing also felt this way, and even Jiang Wanwan felt this way when she was a child.

So how do you know the names of the elders in your family?

Seen on tombstones.

After learning how to read and write in school, the younger generations of the Jiang family finally understood the words engraved on the tombstone and learned that their grandfather was called Jiang Bingsui when they were not called grandfather, and Jiang Weize was called Jiang Weize when their great-grandfather was not called their great-grandfather.

Then everyone started a protracted discussion about whether great-grandfather Jiang Weize was literate and why he gave his grandfather the strange name Jiang Bingsui.

Jiang Xiaokang and others are actually not sure about whether Grandpa Tai is literate or not.

As long as Jiang Xiaokang can remember, Jiang Weize has been gone. According to Jiang Bingsui, Jiang Weize and his wife Dong Shurong fled from other places. Dong Shurong died of dysentery when Jiang Bingsui was 11 years old. Since then, Jiang Weize has raised the children alone.

According to Jiang Bingsui, Jiang Weize has good cooking skills, and the wild vegetable soup he cooks is better than other people's. However, this good cooking skill was of little use in the famine era. Everyone just ate one meal but not the next, only pursuing fullness rather than good food.

Jiang Weize was lame when he was fleeing, and he couldn't work hard enough. As a result, the family never had much food. Jiang Bingsui spent his childhood and youth in hunger.

Because of poverty, Jiang Weize died of illness before he was forty.

"It is said that I was not born yet, and your grandma was about to give birth when she was pregnant with me. Your great-grandfather's biggest wish before he died was to see his grandchildren born. It was only three days away. If you close your eyes for three days, you can You saw me! That’s why your grandfather named me Xiaokang, not because he wanted to be well-off, but because he wanted me to live a healthy and safe life for a long time." At this point, Jiang Xiaokang's eyes became moist again.

"Your grandpa has had a hard life!" Jiang Xiaokang blew his nose. "Your grandma was injured when she gave birth to Xiaohong and died within two years. Your grandpa worked day and night to feed us. I work, farm during the busy season, help others build houses during the off-season, do odd jobs, and even sign up to build dams and dig canals.”

"As a result, I never had a good day, and I left as early as your great-grandfather."

"Tomorrow I will go to the countryside to sweep the graves and burn some more paper money for your grandparents and great-grandparents. I didn't enjoy the blessings when I was alive, so I can't lose money when I die. Who knows whether there will be inflation under the ground in these years."

"It's true that these coins are printed now. Why are they printing such big numbers? One coin is worth hundreds of millions or billions. Will the money be worth it if it is burned?"

The aunt came out of the kitchen and wanted to drink some water:...

"What are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? No matter what the value of the ghost coin is, you will be reincarnated when you go underground. How many years do you want to live down there? I want you to be so leisurely, elegant and caring. Will there be inflation down there? Why not tidy up the things in the room, sweep the floor more often, do some charity and charity when you have time, and save some merit for your parents underground."

"I really don't understand what you are thinking about all day long." The eldest aunt shook her head and left as if her husband was hopeless.

Jiang Xiaokang silently left the room and went to his room to tidy up his things.

"Wow, my mother is indeed a master at practicing feudal superstition. I actually think what she just said makes sense." Jiang Wanwan looked like I didn't understand, but I was greatly shocked.

Jiang Qi also looked shocked, because what the eldest aunt just said really made sense.

Wang Erya has been in the underworld for decades, and she knows everything about the underworld. Although what the eldest aunt just said is not completely correct, it is very reasonable.

Jiang Qi was immediately in awe of his aunt.

The topic everyone talked about naturally deviated from the serious issue of whether the inflation in Tiandi Bank will affect the price of goods underground.

For this question, Jiang Qi secretly sent a WeChat message to ask Wang Erya.

Wang Erya said she didn't know. After all, she had not received the money burned from above for so many years underground, and there was no inflation when she was summoned. She didn't know the current situation underground.

In the amusement park, Jiang Cha, who was kneading dough in the kitchen of Weixianlou, noticed that Wang Erya became distressed after looking at his phone. He stopped what he was doing and asked, "Erya, what happened to you?" Are you worried?"

Wang Erya shook his head: "No, the boss just asked me a question and I was thinking about the answer."

"What's the problem?" Jiang Cha kneaded the noodles in the basin hard twice. When he felt it was almost done, he covered it with gauze and put the basin in the corner.

"The boss asked me if inflation in Tiandi Bank would affect prices underground."

Jiang Cha:?

Old John was studying the oven on the side and thinking about whether to bake cookies, which he didn't know how to do at all:? ?

Feng Ling, who was mincing meat fillings in preparation for making dumplings later:? ? ?

Huang Fugui who was killing the chicken:? ? ? !

"Boss... is he seriously ill? Are you planning for the future?" Feng Ling was confused.

"Probably not." Jiang Cha analyzed calmly, "The boss's thinking has always been divergent. He might really just ask casually."

Old John nodded in agreement.

Huang Fugui began to think about whether it would affect prices.

Wang Erya looked at the ingredients prepared in the kitchen and found that no one had cut the radishes yet, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to cut the radishes.

Although Wang Erya is not good at making dim sum, and the dim sum she makes is either tasteless or bitter, she can still handle small things like handling ingredients. She works quickly with quick hands and feet, and can do as much work as three old Johns.

After Feng Ling chopped the meat stuffing, he looked for the cabbage stuffing he had just chopped. He found that he couldn't find the basin for the cabbage stuffing. He could only ask Jiang Cha: "Xiao Jiang, where is Lilian? I just gave her the chopped cabbage. She added some salt to mix the stuffing for me, where is this person?"

"Lillian, bad!" Lili, who was holding a small wooden stick and squeezing lemon juice, shouted as if a keyword had been triggered.

"Lili, you can't say Sister Lilian is bad." Wang Erya taught earnestly, "Sister Lilian didn't mean it. She also paid the price. Her salary for the next five years will be gone."

"And Sister Lilian also promised that when she earns extra money, she will buy you a doll to compensate you."

Lili continued to poke lemons unwillingly: "Okay, Lillian, poor."

"Someone has arrived at the door, and I asked Lilian to pick them up." Jiang Cha said, "The boss said that Lilian needs to have more contact with other people so that she can adapt to life here."

As he said that, Jiang Cha pointed under the small table: "The cabbage stuffing is there, it's been salted."

Feng Ling hurriedly went to pick it up.

Two minutes later, Jiang Cha suddenly walked quickly to Lili and took the stick and the cup filled with lemons from her hand: "Here we come."

Lili turned into a normal doll, sitting obediently on the table without moving.

There was chattering at the door.

"Wow, Lillian, your Chinese is so good, as good as Teacher John."

"Lillian, do you like rice pudding? The rice pudding I brought is freshly steamed and still hot. If you want to eat it, you can eat it now. Have you ever eaten rice pudding before?"

"Lillian, does Mr. John like to eat seabass? I don't know how to cook other dishes. I went to the town this morning and bought a seabass and brought it over to make steamed seabass."

"Lillian..."

Needless to say, Lillian is quite popular.

Push door.

They were 7 faces that Old John was very familiar with. These 7 people all came together and must have made an appointment in advance.

Not all of them were empty-handed. Some people had bags in their hands, which contained half-finished dishes, and some people simply brought ingredients.

Bass, soft-shell turtle, prepared chicken, fresh vegetables, and even a girl brought a live goose.

When the girl carrying the squawking goose saw everyone in the kitchen looking at her, she smiled sheepishly and picked up the goose: "I didn't want to buy the goose at first, but I happened to come across it this morning."

"The goose stewed in the iron pot is always delicious."

"I just wanted to ask if there is a big iron pot here?"

Naturally, there was no big iron pot, so the girl could only change the goose stew in the iron pot into braised goose with tears in her eyes.

The kitchen immediately became lively.

Those who are willing to join us for New Year's Eve dinner are all outgoing. Even if they don't know anyone except Old John, they can still get along with each other by chatting.

The most popular one is of course Lilian. She is a red-haired beauty, with a 200% head-turning rate when walking on the street. She also has the buff bonus of Old John's niece, giving her a heartthrob aura.

Lillian herself is a social cow, and she is very willing to chat with people from other worlds. When she encounters topics that she doesn't understand, she can just pretend that she is a foreigner and doesn't understand, and she can actually have a lot of fun chatting with everyone.

Jiang Cha was quietly mixing drinks in the corner, not participating in everyone's conversation.

"The Chinese New Year is just like the ones in the TV series, very lively." Jiang Cha sighed.

Wang Erya, who was cutting fruit next door to Jiangcha, shook his head: "No, it's because the boss's place is very lively during the New Year."

"When I was a maid, the Chinese New Year was not lively at all, only the master's house was lively. We had to chop wood, light the fire, and clean the house. Because I was the maid, I couldn't go to the front yard to save the master's family from being upset. The steward usually came at dinner Before, we were given two white-flour steamed buns each and ordered us to hide in the room until the host family finished the reunion dinner before cleaning up."

"I used to think that the Chinese New Year was good because I could eat white flour steamed buns during the Chinese New Year. After I got to my boss's side, I felt that the Chinese New Year was good because I could celebrate the Chinese New Year with everyone."

Jiang Cha looked at the people talking and laughing, and smiled slightly: "Yes, it's more interesting to be with everyone."
