【Chapter 570】 Lively Chinese New Year's Eve (Subscription Requested!)
January 22, 2012, Chinese New Year's Eve!
Compared with previous years, this year's Spring Festival came a little early, and the cold solar term only passed on the 21st, so the temperature in the entire Ginkgo Village dropped several degrees.
After getting up in the morning and looking at the thick clouds in the sky, Xiao Feng knew that it was estimated that it would snow heavily tonight, but it was okay to do so, Ruixue was a good year.
Heavy snowfall during the Spring Festival also portends a good omen!
After breakfast, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao began to pack up all kinds of belongings for the two dolls, they had to stay in the old mansion all day today, and they forgot to bring many things and had to run back and forth, which was very troublesome.
Yu'er's baby milk powder, feeding bottles, diapers, a change of clothes, all kinds of small toys, of course, Nini also has a lot of things, fortunately she can carry a small schoolbag by herself, saving Xiao Feng a lot of trouble.
Every time Yu'er baby goes out, it is quite moving, and Xiao Feng, the porter, said that he is under a lot of pressure!

Every time Yu'er baby goes out, it is quite moving, and Xiao Feng, the porter, said that he is under a lot of pressure!
Dad and mom went to the old house early in the morning to help make all kinds of food, the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has always been done by the whole family, this year Xiao Feng has to take care of two dolls, the situation is more special, you can be lazy for a while.
As for General Xu, Mrs. Xu has already returned to the Xu family's old house in Beiping with Xu Xiangnan and Xu's mother on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, which is also the annual routine gathering of the Xu family. In addition to normal family gatherings, this is also the best time to connect with various forces.
Don't look at General Xu following the old men in the countryside to ride, fish, and play cards in Ginkgo Village, just like ordinary old men, but as the only remaining founding father, his every move may have a huge impact on the situation in the country.
A big man like him, Dinghai Shenpin. During the Spring Festival, it is natural to sit in Beiping and reveal a signal of safety to all parties!
In fact, in addition to General Xu, the leaders who lived in the 'Jinghu Sanatorium' also left one after another after New Year's Day, either returning to Beiping or returning to their hometown. Make the most of them today!
The successive departure of the old chiefs also lowered the security level of Ginkgo Village by several grades, and the internal security forces were just gone, and the cadres and police of the 'Ginkgo New District' Public Security Bureau finally breathed a sigh of relief and could have a good year.
For the public security officers stationed in 'Ginkgo Village', this task is both glorious and arduous, and its hardships are not enough for outsiders.
…………
After tossing for a while, Xiao Feng carried a huge backpack and held the tightly wrapped baby Yu'er in his arms. Xu Mengyao took Nini's hand, and the family went to the old house in the cold north wind.
Along the way, the villagers who were preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in their yard kept greeting Xiao Feng who was passing by, and the pockets of the little girl Nini were filled with various candy and biscuits in a short time, making the little guy's eyes smile into a slit.
Xiao Feng took a look at the candy Nini ate, and he could see that the villagers' income over the years was indeed good, and they were much more generous.
Xiao Feng remembers that when he was a child, ordinary villagers would buy one or two catties of the cheapest fruit candy during the Chinese New Year. Sweet, it can be held for a long time, even in previous years. The villagers are not so particular about the New Year's Festival, and they can always save money.
Now, both adults and children are wearing new clothes, many of them are domestic first-line brands, and the candy they eat is not inferior to Xu Fuji, Dove and the like, which is not inferior to the people in the city.
Come to the old house. It has become very lively, because of the cloudy weather, everyone gathers under the corridor of the hall and the courtyard, and there is a group of laughter.
As soon as Yu'er's baby arrived, Xiao Hai's son Xiao Quan, and Xiao Dujuan's son Ling Tian, who had begun to learn to walk, suddenly had company. The three little ones rolled together on the mat, each dressed thickly, like a bear.
As for Tongtong and Xiao Haoyu, who had been waiting for Nini for a long time, they were already impatient, and the three little guys began to chase and fight in the yard, adding a bit of excitement to the entire old house.
The old lady, the old lady, and the eldest lady Xiao Duliang and Grandma Alice sitting on the Taishi's chair looked at the children and grandchildren in the room, and the smiles on their faces never broke.
For several old people who are over eighty years old, glory and wealth or high-ranking officials are no longer their pursuit, and the prosperity of the family is what they are most satisfied with.
This year, the children of the eldest grandfather Xiao Duliang in the United States also returned to Yaozhou for the Spring Festival, and many children of the Xiao family who were not included in the family tree also had to fill in their names on the family tree this time, and began to enjoy the huge dividends brought by the 'Jinghu Group'.
For this reason, Xiao Dushan, the old lady Xiao, held a special family meeting on New Year's Day to solicit everyone's opinions, after all, once the names of Xiao Duliang's 16 people are listed on the family tree, the assets involved in the future will be tens of billions.
What made Xiao Feng and several old people feel relieved was that no one objected, but only proposed that the overseas family only has the right to dividends, and has no right to dispose of each equity, let alone sell it to the outside world!
Without the outside world knowing, the huge Xiao family has expanded again, and this time the number of Xiao clansmen with the right to pay dividends has expanded to 70 people!
…………
After Xiao Feng arrived at the old house, the kitchen spoon was handed over to him, and everyone consciously gave him a hand!
In the past three years, Xiao Feng's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he is simply growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Xiao Jinhao is already sighing at himself in many dishes.
For example, the highlight of today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Xiaoshi Buddha jumping over the wall, needs to be handled by Xiao Feng himself in order to make the kind of taste that nourishes the heart and lungs and has a long aroma.
In the past three days, Xiao Jinhao, Xiao Yueji and others have been working hard for Xiao Feng, dealing with broth, abalone, shark fin and all kinds of fried goods, in order to be able to make the best Buddha jumping over the wall in this year's reunion year!
In "A Bite of China - Ginkgo Biloba Special", "Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall" is listed as one of the most heavyweight dishes, which has attracted the attention of audiences and gourmets.
Since the broadcast of the program, the "Xiao family's private restaurant" has ushered in the peak of customized Buddha jumping over the wall, and the 498 yuan Buddha jumping over the wall has sold more than 200 copies almost every day, becoming an important part of the restaurant's revenue!
Of course, compared to the materials used in the restaurant, the ingredients of the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve rice zuò are of a higher grade, and they are almost the best that can be bought on the market!
From the point of view of cost alone, each of the 80 copies of the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Xiao Feng this time is worth as much as 2,800 yuan, and the average family really can't afford it!
Xiao Li and several cousins born in the United States returned to their hometown for the first time for the Chinese New Year, and they have great curiosity about various foods and customs, and ask questions from time to time. Soon, Nini and Tongtong became the best guides, taking a few uncles around the house, running into the kitchen from time to time to ask Xiao Feng for some delicious fried food.
Usually, Xu Mengyao, Xiao Tao and others are strict with the children, but today's situation is special, so the children are presumptuous, so the little ones are just like Sun Dasheng who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
The old people don't care about the children, in their opinion, maybe only in this way can there be a New Year's atmosphere.
After a noisy morning, I casually got some soup rice noodles to eat at noon, and everyone kept their stomachs and waited for the evening dinner.
…………
Just when Xiao Feng was busy in the kitchen, the kitchens of other families in Ginkgo Village were also in full swing, and the villagers with sufficient pockets naturally would not be stingy with Chinese New Year's Eve meals.
All kinds of high-quality ingredients that can be bought in the market can be found everywhere in the kitchens of the villagers, and after a hard year, everyone has to treat themselves and their families well.
The whole Ginkgo Village is filled with all kinds of tempting aromas, which makes the local dogs in the village drool, thinking that the owner eats meat, and he should be able to drink some soup!
In the canteen of the dairy company on the east bank of the Lancang River, rows of stainless steel stoves are red, and various delicacies are boiling in the cauldrons, and the strong aroma almost overshadows the rich milk aroma in the factory.
This year, 'Jinghu Dairy' wants to maintain production, and most of the front-line employees have to stick to their posts, so Xiao Feng decided to hold a dinner party for the employees at 3 pm on Chinese New Year's Eve to express his gratitude to the hard-working employees.
Although Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao were not able to go to the front line to guide the process of making the dinner, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Jinhao's close disciple, served as the chief shopkeeper of the venue, which was not a big problem!
Compared with the liveliness of Ginkgo Village, the 'Ginkgo New District' is much more deserted, after all, most of the party committees of the organs are on holiday, and the merchants from other places have also gone home for the New Year, and the whole new area is empty, only the north wind rolls up pieces of fallen leaves.
However, the situation may improve next year, after all, after the Spring Festival, the 'Ginkgo New District' will be established, which will grow into a new urban center in western Yunnan, and even replace Yaozhou.
At that time, even in the off-season of Spring Festival tourism, the new area should be the same as usual, brightly lit and lively!
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the thick clouds in the sky are literally pressing on people's heads, and it seems that a heavy snowfall is inevitable in this Spring Festival.
Although the weather is a bit oppressive, for the villagers of Ginkgo Village and the employees of the 'Jinghu Group', this does not affect their good mood for the New Year.
At this moment of national celebration, Ginkgo Village, far away in the southwest, like countless Chinese villages, is welcoming the arrival of the Lunar New Year in its own way, whether it is a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal, a red lantern under the eaves or all kinds of auspicious wishes, all of which are good expectations for ......the future!
