A month passed quickly, and during this time, Liu Mang took Max to travel all over the streets and alleys of Jiangdong, and scraped together enough material to shoot an episode of the show. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Max returned to the United States, he arrived quickly Chinese New Year's Eve......

"Good boy, is the meal ready?" asked silently, pacing into the kitchen in a figure-eight step.

"Right now, Master, go eat first. Liu Mang replied while sprinkling a steamed fish with shredded green onions.

"No hurry, no hurry. Wait for that girl. Bu Yu picked up a peanut from the plate and put it into his mouth, and said beautifully.

Today's reunion dinner includes Bu Yu, Han Shaobai, Li Ruonan, and Liu Mang's family.

Guan Xiaomeng had a winter vacation, but she wanted to go home to accompany her grandfather, while Li Ruonan had lunch with her old man at home, and discussed dinner before eating together at Liu Mang's house.

Today's dishes were prepared by Liu Mang himself, with chicken, duck and fish.

The fish is 'yellow croaker in soup', the duck is 'Babao duck', the chicken is 'called flower chicken', and there are also big dishes such as lobster and abalone, and a large table is full.

"Master, what do you want to eat? I'll make you two more. Liu Mang knew that Bu Ming's sense of taste was not good, and he liked to eat something with a strong taste, so he asked.

"No, these dishes are good. Silent and smiled: "Good boy, you don't know that my sense of taste has recovered, right?"

"Really?" Liu Mang looked happy: "When did this happen?"

"Some time ago. Although it is not as good as it was at the peak of the year, there is no problem with tasting it salty. ”

"That's good! That's good!"

"Old ghost, it's still early to eat, let's talk about two more plates. Han Shaobai walked into the kitchen with a pair of chess in his hand.

Han Shaobai was alone, and he was Liu Mang's uncle, so Liu Mang also took him to Jiangdong Tuannian together.

"No, no!!" waved his hand again and again: "You old man likes to play tricks, who wants to play with you!"

"Who's cheating?" Han Shaobai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and grabbed his silent hand: "Come again, come again! Let's find Liu Mang's son to be a referee!"

"Don't go! Don't go!" silently shook off Han Shaobai's hand: "I'm still teaching my apprentice to cook in the kitchen, it's much cleaner!"

"He's a chef, and he wants you to teach him a hair!" Han Shaobai looked disdainful: "You don't get in the way here, let's play ours." ”

"Two masters, happy new year!" When he was silently fighting with Han Shaobai like a child, Li Ruonan walked in.

"The good daughter-in-law is here!" said nothing, and a flower bloomed on his face.

"Master, this is a gift for you. Li Ruonan put the pair of wine he was holding on the board.

"Good guy, five or three years of wheel Moutai, this is a big deal!" Han Shaobai glanced at the bottle and exclaimed.

"Very expensive?" Liu Mang, who was chopping vegetables, took a look and found that the two bottles of wine should be some years old, and even the labels on them were yellowed and faded.

"Nonsense! This wine is now collectible, and the price of a single bottle is in the millions. Han Shaobai picked up a bottle and looked left and right, and couldn't put it down.

"No matter how expensive it is, it will go into the stomach. Silent Chao Han Shaobai rolled his eyes: "If you like it, I will drink the wine later, and the bottle will be yours." ”

"Think beautiful!" Han Shaobai hugged the wine in his arms, and his face was distressed: "Just tell me, how much good wine have you spoiled me during this time? Even the bottle of 'Lai Mao' that I have hidden for more than 50 years, you actually drank it!"

"Don't you just drink wine? Silent smacked his lips: "Don't say it, your tattered bottle of wine tastes really right! It's one of the best wines I've ever drunk!"

"Nonsense! Do you know how much that bottle of wine costs? There is only one bottle out of print in this world! It was poured out by you in a few sips!" Han Shaobai became more and more angry, and held another bottle of wine in his arms: "This bottle also belongs to me, even if you compensate me." ”

"You melon goods! If you don't drink wine, what kind of smell can you see when you put it at home every day?" Scratching his head, he was puzzled: "Also, you will burp at any time at your age, and in the end, it's not cheaper for others?"

"I'd love to!"

"Master, today is the New Year, and you can't say anything unlucky. Looking at these two who are more and more innocent, Liu Mang and Li Ruonan can't cry or laugh.

"Uncle Han, if you really like wine, I'll give you a few more bottles later. My father used to collect wine, but now he doesn't have much interest, and the family has a few wine racks that are full and there is almost no place to put them. ”

"Really?" Han Shaobai's eyes lit up: "What are some good goods?"

"I don't know anything about wine, but I should have everything I should have, such as the 'Lai Mao' you mentioned, I seem to have a bottle on the wine shelf. ”

"That's great!" Han Shaobai was so happy that even his eyebrows trembled: "You don't know, I need a bottle of Lai Mao, and I will collect the whole set of Maotai." ”

"Good apprentice, come to the hall to worship the ancestor when the dishes are ready, and I will talk to my good daughter-in-law for a while. He said silently.

"Master Buyu, what's the matter?" followed Buyu to the hall, Li Ruonan asked.

"What else can I do, just ask when you and Liu Mang will have a child. Han Shaobai interjected.

"It's still early. Li Ruonan's face was slightly red, and he twisted.

"Although you young people are not easy to take care of, you will get married when the time comes! Why do you always drag it out? Isn't it normal for men to get married and women to get married. ”

"You old ghost, don't you want to play with a child?" Han Shaobai saw through it at a glance: "You can't control the young people now, just let it be." ”

When Liu Mang brought the last dish to the table, the Spring Festival Gala just started.

"Good disciple, worship the ancestor first. ”

A portrait has already been hung in the hall of the villa, and in the eyes of these old-school craftsmen, it is an untouchable rule to bow to the ancestor during the festival.

It's a pity that not many people follow this rule at all, and they haven't even heard of it.

After kowtowing to the ancestral master, Liu Mang invited his parents to the main seat again, and then pulled Li Ruonan to bow respectfully.

Nowadays, it is rare to see the custom of kowtowing to elders during the Chinese New Year, but Liu Mang's family still follows such a tradition.

In Liu Mang's view, this is also a natural thing, representing a kind of respect for the elders of the younger generation.

"Okay, okay, get up!" Liu Mang's mother was so happy that she hurriedly picked up Li Ruonan and stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.

The next thing is silent, and after Liu Mang and Li Ruonan kowtowed, they stuffed the two coins into the hands of each of them.

"You're too stingy as a master, aren't you, just give out two coins for the New Year's money?" Han Shaobai on the side sneered.

Bu Yu glanced at Han Shaobai with an idiot-like look: "These two 'Saint Song Tongbao' were occasionally obtained by the teacher back then, so you can keep them as a souvenir." ”

"What?Saint Song Tongbao?" Han Shaobai seemed to have been struck by lightning: "Impossible, right? There are only seven or eight pieces of this money in the world, all of which are in the hands of famous collectors, when did you get it?"

"Morning, when I walked to Shudi, my stomach hurt so much that I wanted to go out of Gong, but when I was looking for a place, I kicked a dirt stump. And guess what? Silent hehe smiled.

"Fool you!"

In addition to collecting famous wines, Han Shaobai also likes to collect coins. This 'Saint Song Tongbao' belongs to the Fifty Treasures, and it is one of the countless ancient coins that collectors want to obtain even if they have exhausted their efforts.

But this kind of coin is extremely rare in the world, and it usually has an owner, unless someone else endures it, otherwise there is no place to buy it with more money.

Han Shaobai looked at the 'Saint Song Tongbao' in Liu Mang and Li Ruonan's hands, and his heart was like a cat scratching: "Old ghost, I've been kind to you during this time, why didn't you think about giving me a few?"

"I'm going to give it, but you don't want it!" Bu Yu looked surprised.

"When did you tell me?"

"Didn't I drink half of the wine on your shelf last time, and you almost turned my face on me? ”

"That's what you're talking about!" Han Shao's white intestines were all repentant.

I knew that these two coins were 'Saint Song Tongbao', not to mention half a shelf, even if it was a room of wine, it was a good deal!

"Nephew, show me. Han Shaobai took this 'Saint Song Tongbao' from Liu Mang's hand with a shy face, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it: "Not bad, it's really good!"

"Uncle Shi, if you like it, I'll give it to you. Liu Mang was a little funny.

In his own eyes, these two ancient coins are no different from ordinary coins except for being silent and commemorative.

"Forget it. How can I be embarrassed to rob the younger generation's things?" Han Shaobai sighed and returned the coin to Liu Mang's hand: "These two coins are very precious, you must keep them well, and they can be passed on as family heirlooms in the future." ”

"Silent master, it's the hour, let's eat. Liu Mang's father shouted.

"Come, come, come, eat!"

Everyone sat down on the table, and Liu Mang picked up the wine glass: "Parents, Master, Uncle, I toast you." ”

"Good, good!" a few elders picked up their wines, their faces relieved.

Especially Han Shaobai, although he has a huge net worth, he has no children and no daughters in his life, and he is lonely. Every year during the festival, he is secretly sad, and today's reunion dinner is the most comfortable one he eats.

Of course, Liu Mang's craftsmanship goes without saying, this meal can be said to be full of wine and food.

After eating, Liu Mang's parents watched the gala, and Han Shaobai played chess without saying anything. And Liu Mang pulled Li Ruonan and walked out.

"Where are you going?" asked Li Ruonan.

"Take you to a fun place. Liu Mang took out his mobile phone: "Hey, Xiao Wu, are you here? I'll be here right away." ”

The two of them walked out of the villa community and came to Yanluo Lake, where Wuyan and Yang Yan were already waiting for them.

"Rock rock. Li Ruonan walked up and held Yang Yan's hand: "My belly is really big!"

"Hee-hee, it's not big, it's only been more than three months now, and I can't see it. "Yang Yan is wearing a set of maternity clothes today, with a plain face facing the sky, and no powder.

"Boss!" called out Five-Eyes.

"I'm about to be a father, how do you feel?" Liu Mang patted his belly.

"I don't know, it always feels like a dream. Wuyan put his arm around Liu Mang's shoulder, and the two of them stepped aside: "Boss, thank you so much." ”

"Thank me, isn't this all the result of your own efforts?"

"Remember what I said when we were selling chicken wings?"

"What?"

"I said that in this life, the most worthwhile thing is to suffer your brick. Five eyes touched the scar on his forehead and sighed.

"Virtue!" Liu Mang couldn't help poking the five-eyed fat belly: "This matter will rot in the stomach in the future, and I am not allowed to mention it again, so as not to damage my image in my godson's heart in the future." ”

"Haha......"

"What are you laughing at, come and set off fireworks!" Yang Yan shouted over there.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Wuyan and Liu Mang walked over and pulled the trunk of the car.

"Good guy, you're emptying other people's inventory!" Liu Mang exclaimed as he looked at the fireworks in the trunk full of G65.

"Boss, now that we have money, can't we have a luxury?" Wuyan pushed his glasses: "Do you remember back then? ”

"Well, of course I do. Liu Mang nodded: "I remember that your favorite thing to do at that time was to throw the cannon at the feet of the little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl." ”

"Little Wu, it turns out that you used to be such a person!" Li Ruonan and Yang Yan both laughed.

"Boss, can you not mention the troubles, I am also going to be a father. Five-eyed said with a bitter face.

"Oh, I forgot!" Liu Mang smiled and helped Wuyan move the fireworks out of the car.

"Bang!" colorful fireworks exploded in the air.

"It's so beautiful!" Li Ruonan buried his head in Liu Mang's arms, his eyes were confused.

"Yes, it's beautiful!" Liu Mang also said.

"Sometimes I think that life is like fireworks, it can't hang in the sky forever, once gorgeous, it is not in vain. ”

"I feel that life is like a ship, from the moment it lifts anchor and lifts its sails, the moment it leaves the dock, it sails forward without hesitation. It knows that there will be a thick fog ahead, obscuring its direction, and there will be rough seas that will block the speed of the voyage. There will be wind, rain and lightning, hitting the side of the ship. All of them are not possible to make it to the other side smoothly. ”

"Liu Mang, if your life is a boat, then what am I?"

"You......" Liu Mang thought for a moment: "You are like a compass." No amount of difficulty will make the ship lose its way. Because the ship knows very well that there will never be calm in front of it, only the compass will let it do what it wants, sing all the way, and sail to the place where it wants to go......"

"What if I lose this compass?"

"No, I'll keep it in my hand all the time. Liu Mang stroked the hair in front of Li Ruonan's forehead and replied.

"What if...... I mean if. Li Ruonan raised his head from Liu Mang's arms: "If one day, the compass is lost and gone, then what should you do?"

"If there really is that day, I will definitely find it back, even if it costs a lot, even if I go to the ends of the earth. ”

"Fool, you are so stupid......" Li Ruonan buried his head back in Liu Mang's arms and closed his eyes gently.
