There are many legends about Laba Festival and Laba porridge, and the one that Gu Lan is most willing to believe is related to Yue's army. It is said that in Zhuxian Town, Yue Fei led his troops to resist Jin, caught up with the number of cold days, and the common people rushed to send porridge. There are various kinds of porridge, there are millet, rice, corn, and so on.

It is also filled with jujubes, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains. After drinking the multigrain porridge boiled by these people, Yue's army was in high spirits, and he killed the Jin soldiers and did not leave a piece of armor.

And this day happened to be the 8th of December. After Yue Fei died, in order to commemorate him, people used mixed grains and beans to cook porridge and eat fruit to survive on the eighth day of the lunar month. Over time, it became customary.

What Gulan prefers to believe is that the story of the military and the people are united in their efforts to resist foreign gold.

As for laba garlic, it has also been around for a long time in the vast northern region. To make laba garlic, you should use large, bright and plump red-skinned garlic and rice vinegar. Peel off the garlic skin, soak the garlic cloves in rice vinegar, and seal them in a jar or bottle.

After a week, the garlic cloves turn emerald green overall. The aroma of garlic and vinegar blends together, and the aroma is tangy, crisp and delicious. Eating dumplings and mixed cold vegetables is not beautiful, irreplaceable, and can be described as a must.

There is also a saying in the old Kuran. The word "garlic" and the word "count" are homophonic to the word "count". The end of the year is approaching, and all businesses have to settle accounts on this day, calculate the income and expenditure of the year, and settle the profit and loss of the year, which is called "Laba calculation".

Later, if there was money owed to others, garlic was used instead of the word "count" to show taboo.

There are many merchants for the sake of auspiciousness, as soon as they enter the wax moon, they will pickle a large amount of laba garlic and prepare, just waiting for the guests to shout "boss, garlic", the service staff will promise to shout "guests on garlic, guests on garlic", all the way trotting to send you a plate of laba garlic. Merchants and guests alike are delighted.

There are also those who don't understand the rules, and because they don't like the smell, they don't call garlic for a long time. The waiter was afraid of delay, so he couldn't hold his breath and asked "Does the gentleman serve garlic", and the guest didn't understand and said "the boss doesn't serve garlic", and both parties were embarrassed.

There are also those who have a holiday with the merchant, and when the waiter asks, he will shout "the boss doesn't use garlic" repeatedly, so as to let out a bad breath. Therefore, the experienced service staff never asks the guest whether the garlic is served or not, so as not to be unlucky.

Qulan is now making this kind of laba garlic. When she was a child, she ate at home, especially when she was a child, and her mother deliberately put Laba garlic aside, and waited for her to shout "Mother, garlic", and her mother shouted "My daughter has garlic" and served the garlic. The mother and son performed this ceremony in a natural and joyful way.

Gu Lan was peeling garlic like this, reminiscing about his childhood nostalgia for the Laba Festival, when suddenly the phone rang. Seeing that it was Hui Mingxin's, he picked it up: "Hey, hello." ”

"Hello, old leader. What are you busy with?" came Hui Ming's bright voice.

"I'm busy answering your calls. "Quran humor with truth to truth.

"Haha, the old leader just knows how to answer. At home or away?"

"At home. Isn't this Laba Festival, I am boiling Laba porridge and pickling Laba garlic. ”

"Do you still have to make these things yourself? I have ordered Laba porridge in the people's porridge shed, so let's come out and celebrate Laba Festival together. ”

"You're back?"

"Came back yesterday. I didn't see you last time you went to the Blue Ocean New Area, so I missed you. Come out and drink porridge, let's go with garlic. ”

"Okay. But I'll have to wait a little longer, I'll boil the porridge before I go over. ”

"Okay, see you or leave. ”

"The people's porridge shed" Gulan knows. It is a more famous hotel in the city, the specialty is porridge, but all kinds of wine and dishes are also good, and the environmental facilities are also very good.

Receiving Hui Mingxin's invitation, Gulan thought it was a good idea, and sped up the speed of picking garlic, and soon soaked the garlic in vinegar in a large glass jar that men usually use to make wine.

After seeing that the porridge was almost boiled, he put out the fire. Drive to the people's porridge shed.

When she arrived at the people's porridge shed, Hui Mingxin had already greeted her at the door of the hall downstairs. The two met and exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Hui Mingxin then said to her: "Today, the old leader, you have to do me a favor." ”

Gu Lan smiled and asked, "What do you help? There are still conditions for drinking porridge." ”

Hui Mingxin smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Don't mind, old leader, I invited the chief of the "Home" magazine to come. ”

"Which Yuko chief?"

"That's it, you know. ”

"Isn't he your associate editor?"

"Yes, when our "Sanitation Work" and "Home" merged, he went over there, and now he is the head of the administrative section. ”

"That's good, we're all old friends, it's good to drink porridge and talk together. ”

Gulan didn't mind.

Hui Mingxin explained: "There is another meaning, he is also about to retire, and I want to bring him in to work in this industry, but he has been hesitant." No, when he heard that you had done it, he wanted to see you. I'll have to ask you to do the work for me. ”

"You told him I did it, didn't you?" Although she did this project, she was secretive. For fear that others will know and look down on themselves, they usually never mention it.

"How can I say it, I don't know who he listened to. But I think everyone is an old acquaintance, and he and I turned out to be your soldiers, and if he also came in, we would inevitably meet in the future, and everyone knew that it was easy to say anything. Do you say yes, old leader? After Hui Mingxin denied it, he said a bunch of reasons.

Seeing him like this, Gu Lan didn't say anything more.

After entering the room, it was especially there. Qin Zhong, Lin He, and Chang Xin are all there. In addition, there is a half-aged, who is a special lady.

In particular, he greeted Gulan, and everyone said some kind words and sat down. Before the food is served, start drinking porridge. After drinking a few sips of porridge, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he asked Gu Lan tentatively: "I heard that the old leader has done a good project recently, what do you think?"

When Gu Lan heard this, he suddenly said, "Mingxin told you." ”

"She's told me before, but I've never been sure. Now that I heard that you did it, I'm tempted again. I don't think you, the old leader, can be mistaken. He was also well-behaved, and did not answer Gulan's question directly, but indirectly asked his own question.

Hearing him say this, Gu Lan didn't want to ask any more questions. I had to tell my own understanding of how to protect the capital of this project, how to treat everyone equally, how to equal opportunities, how to not precipitate funds, how to ensure the safety of funds, how to lead the weak with the strong, how to combine the strong, how to make money quickly, how to work more, get paid according to work, earn more and earn less by yourself, everyone is the boss, and you can make sure that you don't lose money.

Gu Lan has already brought 3 people to the Blue Ocean New Area, and even the time he was taken by Chang Xin, he has gone through the procedures 4 times before and after, and he is already familiar with these things. Coupled with years of leadership experience, it is naturally eloquent, well-organized, focused, hierarchical, emotional, and endless, which is very infectious.

Not only did he listen to it with great relish, but even his wife nodded frequently, and the effect was surprisingly good.
