Chapter 226: Dilemma
In addition to chatting, Zhou Aotian did not forget Lu Shiyuan, the king of appetites, and raised his wine glass to toast Lu Shiyuan from time to time.
Lu Shiyuan was clutching a big lobster in both hands, and her mouth was still chewing. Seeing Zhou Aotian bending down slightly, walking to her with a wine glass in both hands, she didn't pick up the wine glass to toast Zhou Aotian, but just raised her head and squinted at Zhou Aotian and said, "Little Aozi, today's meal is good, don't forget to call me next time you have a treat." β
Kang Hanwen didn't look too much, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, although they didn't say anything in their mouths, they scolded Lu Shiyuan in their hearts.
Usually you are asked to eat, but you always push back, and say that you like to eat in a big pot of rice in the barracks; Today, in front of outsiders, you show this virtue, can't you Lu Shiyuan go to Africa as a refugee for three years?
Chen Hao knew that Lu Shiyuan was deliberately trick-or-treating, and he didn't break it, so Zhou Aotian smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Lu Shiyuan with both hands, and said, "No problem, as long as you want to eat anytime, call me at any time." β
Lu Shiyuan suddenly rolled her eyes, she put down the lobster in her hand, and said to Zhou Aotian angrily: "Are you asking for food when I want?" I'll call you when I'm still eating. β
"Weren't you begging for food just now?" This sentence has been hovering in Zhou Aotian's heart, but he only dares to think secretly, and he definitely doesn't dare to say a word.
Although Zhou Aotian is still very young, the city government is quite deep, and he can't see any clues on his face, but apologizes vigorously.
"Yes, yes, I can't speak, and I volunteered to give three drinks." He placed his business card on the table, picked up the bottle on the table, filled the glass, and toasted three glasses in a row.
This wine is a high-purity Wuliangye, like Chen Hao, who can't drink alcohol, took a small sip, and his throat was like a fire, hot and painful.
Indonesians don't drink liquor, but Zhou Aotian often drinks Wuliangye.
Although his family came to Nanyang in the war-torn era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it later took root in Indonesia. With the intelligence and diligence of the Chinese people, they engaged in trade and mining, and after hundreds of years of multiplication, they gradually became a big family of hundreds of people.
Although they live in Indonesia, the traditions left by their ancestors have not been lost, and everyone in their family calls themselves Huaxia people, descendants of dragons.
The Spring Festival is their most important day every year.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is the day of sending the god of the stove. On this day, the god of the stove went to heaven and told the Jade Emperor about the good and evil in the world.
On this day, the family will get up early, clean the throne of the stove, put wine, sugar, fruits, cakes, and burn incense to the stove. I hope that he will "speak good words in heaven and keep peace in the lower world."
Folklore has it that the Stove King was a big old man, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so the sacrifice was a pastry made of glutinous rice, which meant that the Stove King's teeth were glued and he was not allowed to talk nonsense.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, their family began to ask servants to clean all corners of the yard house. "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" contains: "On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, dust and sweep the house", which is the preparation for the Spring Festival. "Dust" and "Chen" are homophonies, and sweeping dust has the meaning of "removing Chen Buxin".
By sweeping the dust, the disease, bad luck, and scourge are swept out of the door together, and the new year is cleaned and greeted with a new look.
On the 25th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, they began to purchase New Year's goods, and at this time their family will start to make rice cakes and steamed rice cakes, which means that they are high every year. When he was a child, he liked to stand by the vat and watch the servants at home take hammers made of wood and hammer glutinous rice into balls of fragrant and soft rice noodles.
At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as soon as the meal was finished, the family began to hang red lanterns at home, and began to paste Spring Festival Lian, upside down Fu characters, door gods and New Year paintings, a festive atmosphere.
As for himself, he took a stick of incense and ran outside the door to set off firecrackers.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is the highlight of the Spring Festival. Before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, worship the ancestors and worship the gods, and only start the meal after the incense candles are burned. There are generally chickens (with a plan), fish (with a surplus every year), oysters (with a good market), lettuce (with wealth), bean curd (with wealth), garlic (with a lot of money) and so on to seek good luck.
In addition to family reunion and family happiness, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also prays for the safety of the family, so every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the family will try their best to rush back for the New Year.
The first day of the first lunar month is the New Year, and the huge manor is full of lights and joy. The children put on the most beautiful new clothes, and under the leadership of their parents, they kowtow to the elders of the family one by one, and say auspicious words in their mouths.
The elders smiled one by one and distributed the red envelopes prepared in advance. The child happily took the big red envelope and ran outside to set off firecrackers.
In the next few days, the dragon and lion dances will be performed every day, and all the customs of the Chinese New Year will be preserved in their original form.
Zhou Aotian has lived in such an atmosphere since he was a child, and he also likes this strong taste of home. When he was very young, he was full of yearning for everything in Huaxia.
When he grew up, the family began to slowly nurture him. When asked about the region he wanted to visit, Zhou Aotian chose Huaxia without hesitation.
Here, he began to like everything here, and of course, the rich and mellow Wuliangye is also his favorite.
Lu Shiyuan couldn't find fault with it, and began to bury her head in dealing with the exquisite dishes on the table again. After eating the shrimp meat in a plate of Australian lobster, Lu Shiyuan said dissatisfiedly to Zhou Aotian: "This lobster is so orderly, it's not enough to eat at all." β
Chen Hao looked at the plate in front of Lu Shiyuan, and the big lobster shells were piled up as high as a mountain. Chen Hao couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, this lobster is afraid that it is more than two catties, and the price of this dish will be more than three thousand.
Zhou Aotian called the waiter and asked him to serve another lobster of the same size. Then he turned to Lu Shiyuan and said, "Beauty, then you leave me a call, and I will invite you to dinner in the future." β
Lu Shiyuan was worried that she didn't have a chance to have a seizure, now it's okay, she just wanted to doze off, so she sent a pillow, if Lu Shiyuan couldn't catch this little braid, she wouldn't be Lu Shiyuan.
"Beauty? What do you mean by that? What kind of beauty am I? Are you sarcastically that I'm a moldy moldy girl that no one wants? β
Lu Shiyuan was furious, and Zhou Aotian suddenly panicked. He didn't come to China for a long time, but he made a lot of friends with wine and meat.
He really wanted to get in touch with the high-level children in Huaxia, but he couldn't find a way.
Through chatting with these friends, he has done some careful research on his own, and has made a general understanding of the main characters in the capital.
If you want to say that the most legendary and controversial person in the capital belongs to the one in front of her, I heard that her grandfather was the supreme leader's savior, and after her grandfather and parents died one after another, the supreme leader treated her as his own child.
If she stomped her foot, the whole capital would tremble.
