Chapter 32: Chinese New Year

"Yi Shu, go and call your Brother Wen and them. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Great!" Li Yishu wiped a handful of saliva from his chin, tightened his coat, opened the door and rushed out. By the time Li Zhoule brought the food and instant noodles to the table, Li Yishu had already returned with someone. The Wen brothers did not come empty-handed, but brought a bowl of roasted rabbits -- rabbits that the Wen brothers caught in the woods when they were collecting firewood, salted them and stored them for a month, waiting for meat to eat during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the three brothers entered the door, they smelled the rich aroma of instant noodles, and the reaction of the three of them was the same as Li Yishu.

"Sister Zhou Le, what did you do? It smells so good! Wen Zijue asked with drooling.

Li Zhoule smiled: "It's a new food I developed, the noodles are fried in oil and then boiled in seasonings. ”

Wen Zijue said: "That must be delicious." ”

"Then you can eat more."

The two families sat around a table, no wine, replaced with noodle soup, and each made a bowl, wishing for better and better next year. There was a thunderclap of firecrackers in the village, Li Yishu took Wen Zijue and ran out with a few dried bamboo tubes prepared in autumn, Wen Ziyu lit the fire, and the two threw the dry bamboo tubes into the fire, and the bamboo tubes were burned by the fire.

Wen Zixia said happily: "The sound is so loud, it indicates that our life will be as loud as this firecracker next year." ”

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Han Nuo followed Han's father and Han's mother to the provincial capital. Most of Han's father's sisters and brothers live in the provincial capital, and only Han's father and Han's second aunt work and live in D City. Every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the brothers and sisters of the Han family will bring their families to gather in the provincial capital, charter a teahouse, chat and play mahjong, and have a New Year's dinner at noon.

There are eight brothers and sisters in Han's father's family, plus Han Nuo's cousins and sisters, and a lot of nephews and nieces, there are thirty or forty people, and it is not lively to get together. Soon, everyone was divided into several piles, most of them went on the mahjong table and began to build the Great Wall, those who didn't want to play mahjong sat together to chat and drink tea, and the children ran around playing in the teahouse, as long as they didn't go out of the teahouse, the safety problem reassured parents. Han Nuo chatted with a few cousins for a while, and then these brothers and sisters also went to pile up mahjong, Han Nuo was not good at card mahjong, and after watching for a while, he nestled on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and fiddled with his mobile phone. A figure was shrouded from above, blocking out the sunlight. Han Nuo looked up and saw that it was the cousin of the second aunt's family. The second aunt also works and lives in D City and has two children, cousin Chang Lei is four years older than Han Nuo and is married, cousin Chang Miao is two years younger than Han Nuo, and has not had a serious job for two years after graduating from college.

"What's the matter?" Han Nuo sat up straight, she and Chang Miao grew up together when they were children, they had a good relationship and knew each other very well. As soon as she saw Chang Miao's expression, she knew that she couldn't make her own decisions about something, and she wanted to discuss it with herself.

Chang Miao sat down opposite Han Nuo: "I opened a Taobao store, but I don't know what to sell?" Give me some advice. ”

Han Nuo glanced at her: "What do you ask me to do when you open a store?" I haven't opened a Taobao store again. ”

Chang Miao: "Then didn't you open a physical store?" ”

Han Nuo: "My shop is a casual hot pot business, do you want to sell hot pot seasonings on the Internet?" ”

Chang Miao complained: "People are looking for you to discuss, and you don't help and make fun of others." ”

Han Nuo said: "I really don't know what to sell." Or, you learn from other people first, and wholesale some small bits and pieces of jewelry to sell. ”

Chang Miao pouted: "How much money can you make then?" ”

Han Nuo: "Anyway, your family doesn't lack your money." Start with small things, and maybe your business will grow bigger in the future. ”

The second aunt's family opened a grain and oil supermarket, although they are not rich, but they have a few surplus money in the family, and a small wealth is safe. It has been two years since Chang Miao graduated, and her aunt and uncle did not urge Chang Miao to go out to work, and let Chang Miao inherit the idea of the supermarket after the discount, as for Chang Lei, he is very capable, with an annual income of one million, and he doesn't care about the supermarket's money.

"Then I'm not really an old man?" Chang Miao wailed and fell to the back behind her.

"Tell me you're not gnawing at the old now." Han Nuo pouted, "You can do it first, and then adjust the goods in the store according to the market situation." ”

Han Nuo is actually not optimistic about Chang Miao, this girl is only hot for three minutes.

Chang Miao nestled in the sofa and changed the topic: "I said, why do you always fiddle with your mobile phone, you won't be as addicted as the news says, you have a mobile phone disease, right?" ”

"You're sick with cell phones. I'm using my phone to type in the novel. Han Nuo glanced at Chang Miao angrily.

"Novels? Are you still writing novels online? Chang Miao was surprised.

Han Nuo: "Can't you?" ”

Chang Miao: "Of course you can." But why didn't you tell me? I'm going to support you! ”

Chang Miao took out her mobile phone and asked, "What's the name of the book you wrote?" On which website is it published on? ”

"Singularity girl." Han Nuo said, "The end of the book is called "Crossing Ji Xiaofu", and the one that has just started and writes about the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 80s is called "Dream of Entertainment Xiangjiang". ”

"I'll look for it." Chang Miao operated the mobile phone, "Wipe, I even have to download a special reader to watch it." ”

Chang Miao complained in his mouth, but the speed in his hand was not slow, and he quickly downloaded and installed the singularity reader, registered an account, and recharged 10,000 yuan to his account.

""Crossing Ji Xiaofu"? Nuno, why do you want to thank Ji Xiaofu? Don't you really like her? Chang Miao asked while watching.

"I don't like it. So I let her burp and replace it with Ji Xiaofu, who I created myself. Han Nuo devoted himself to the work of code words again.

"You're shaping a more oily meaning than the original." Chang Miao nodded in agreement, and was quickly attracted by the storyline and plunged into it. The two sisters read and write, except for the slight tapping of the keyboard, and the silence around them contrasts sharply with the noisy atmosphere not far away. However, this tranquility was maintained for more than an hour, and Chang Miao broke the tranquility.

"Nono, we've been together for decades, I didn't expect you to have the talent to write novels! Don't say anything else, I'll give you a tip. ”

Han Nuo hurriedly returned to the homepage of "Crossing Ji Xiaofu", only to see that the discussion area was swiped by the "River of Three Paths".

"The River of the Three Paths begged for a peace charm for a promise of a daughter, how can "Crossing Ji Xiaofu" be so good-looking!"

"The daughter is gone, and she comes back, and she has said that it is not bad money, look at the reward! The three-way river rewards a promise of 500 singularity coins, this book is so well written, treat it, I hope the follow-up will be more exciting!"

“……”

"The sky is falling, and I am moved to tears, and my gentleman's talent deserves this reward! The River of the Three Paths rewards a promise of 100,000 singularity coins. This book is fantastic! Treat yourself to it, and I hope the follow-up will be even more exciting! ”

"The sky is falling, and I am moved to tears, and my gentleman's talent deserves this reward! The River of Three Paths rewarded 100,000 singularity coins: Haha, I'm the leader of the alliance! ”

"The sky is falling, and I am moved to tears, and my gentleman's talent deserves this reward! The River of Three Ways rewarded a promise of 100,000 singularity coins: Oh alive, little Nuonuo, please obey under the golden skirt of my local tyrant! ”

Han Nuo twitched the corners of his mouth: "You also played all the tips?" ”

Chang Miao raised her eyebrows: "There is a lot of money, so I am willing." ”

The voice of the waiter telling everyone to eat came, Han Nuo didn't say anything, put away his mobile phone and stood up: "Let's go, go to the reunion dinner." ”

Chang Miao got up lazily: "I've eaten a lot of greasy things these days, and now I just want to eat a bowl of chazuke with pickles." ”

"Hypocrisy!"

………………

The fourth and fifth days of the new year passed, and the hot pot restaurant opened on the sixth day of the new year. In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the new year has arrived.

Every year on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the city will hold a lantern riddle in the square in the center of the city, and the whole square is full of all kinds of lanterns, and at night, the lanterns are lit together, illuminating the square as if it were day. These lanterns can be won by solving the riddles underneath the lanterns. However, these riddles are much more difficult than ordinary riddles, and few people can guess them. In addition to guessing riddles, there are all kinds of small stalls in the square, selling snacks, barbecue and some small things that suit the situation, and the center of the square is performing programs, although there are popular songs and sketches, but it is still mainly folk performances, such as singing, stilt walking, and performing acrobatics.

There were a lot of people in the square, it was really crowded, and it was very difficult to turn around. Han Nuo's face darkened when he saw it, and he insisted on squeezing pickles into the crowd. Chang Miao was extremely excited and rushed into the crowd. Han Nuo walked to the café at the edge of the square and sat down, bought a cup of coffee and waited for Chang Miao. After a while, her mobile phone rang, and Chang Miao's voice came out from inside.

"Nono, help."

"What's wrong again?"

"That's me guessing the Lantern King, it involves the content of the "Four Books and Five Classics", and I rely on your help." Chang Miao shouted. Every year, five lanterns are hung on the square, all of which are exquisite and beautiful, and many people want them. It's a pity that it's too difficult to get the Lantern King, and the other lamps have one puzzle, but the Lantern King has three puzzles, all of which are extremely remote, so that no one has won a Lantern King for five consecutive years.

"I just looked at the "Four Books and Five Classics" when I was practicing calligraphy, do you really think I am an ancient Xiucai?"

"At least better than me. I don't even know what the Four Books and Five Classics are. ”

"Yes, you name it. If you know, I'll answer, and if you don't know, give up. ”

"Okay, listen. The puzzle of the first question is 'keep the year', and play the sentence "Mencius". ”

Han Nuo really knew this question: "It may be 'waiting for the next year'." ”

The sound of Chang Miao repeating the answer to others came from the mobile phone, followed by Chang Miao's cheers: "Nuonuo, I said that you must do it." The first question is answered correctly, listen, the second question is coming. ”

"The puzzle of the second question is 'Wandering Monk', and I also play the sentence "Mencius".

Han Nuo thought for a while: "It should be 'the transformation of the passerby'." ”

Another cheer: "Nono, you are too powerful." Quick, quick, here comes the third question. After answering the third question correctly, the Lantern King will be ours. ”

Han Nuo didn't have the confidence to answer three questions in a row, but he also became interested in the puzzle and asked, "What is the third question?" ”

Chang Miao said loudly: "Listen, the riddle of the third question is 'Xianning of all countries', and it is also a sentence from "Mencius". ”

Han Nuo smiled, Chang Miao's luck was really good, she happened to know the answer to this riddle, so she smiled and said, "It's 'the people of the world are safe'." ”

"Ah~~~~~~" Chang Miao was so excited that she was going crazy, "Nuo Nuo, you are simply amazing!" ”

In addition to Chang Miao's voice on the phone, there were also many people who exclaimed, maybe everyone didn't expect that someone would get a lamp king today.

After more than ten minutes, Chang Miao ran into the café with a very delicate marquee, and along the way, everyone looked at her with envy.

Chang Miao took the coffee in front of Han Nuo and poured it hard, pouring all the remaining two-thirds of the coffee in the cup into his stomach.

Han Nuo looked at the empty coffee cup with a black line, raised his hand and called the waiter: "Serve us two more cups of coffee." ”

"Okay." The waiter asked with a smile, etiquette is standardized, but his eyes have been staring at Fang Zai's seat marquee. The marquee is one-third high, the base is a lotus base, there are six sides on it, and it keeps turning, which is very exquisite, so that the identity of the lamp king is self-evident.

"What flavor of coffee does that person drink?"

"No more coffee." Chang Miao objected, "Don't drink too much coffee at night, so as not to be unable to sleep." Switch to fruit tea. ”

And you drank my coffee dry in one go?

Han Nuo nodded and asked the waiter to serve a pot of fruit tea, and the waiter took the list and reluctantly left.

Chang Miao said proudly: "See, everyone is envious of me and conquered by me." ”

Han Nuo sneered: "People were conquered by the marquee, not you." ”

Chang Miao raised her head: "The marquee is mine." ”

Han Nuo: "It's me who answered the question. Strictly speaking, the lamp should be mine. ”

Chang Miao immediately changed to a flattering expression: "Nuo Nuo, dear Nuo Nuo, do we two sisters have to be so clear?" Isn't yours mine?! Put the lamp with me for a few days, and then I'll send it to your house in a few days. ”

Han Nuo waved his hand: "Come on, I don't want it." You can keep it at home as a trophy. ”

Chang Miao was happy: "I called to know that Nuo Nuo is the best for me." By the way, Nuno, I wonder if I sell some folk products in my Taobao store, just like this marquee, someone should buy it, right? ”

Han Nuo thought about this possibility and nodded: "This is a good idea, Yuanmian Town is positioned as a dematerialized heritage base by the state, and you should be able to attract business by using this gimmick for publicity." ”

Chang Miao nodded again and again: "I'll put the picture of this marquee on the Internet again." ”

Han Nuo asked, "Aren't you afraid that others will indicate that you want to buy this lamp?" ”

Chang Miao: "As long as they can afford to pay?" As my first victory, less than 50,000 yuan, I don't sell it! ”
