Chapter 35: New Year

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, and Li Shanhe woke up from his contemplation, put down his pen, and greeted the guests who came to participate in the event with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before you know it, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Japan has abandoned the lunar calendar for hundreds of years, and it is long past the Spring Festival. Therefore, if it is not allowed by the proprietor's wife, Kunlun Restaurant can only operate as usual.

There are policies and countermeasures, Li Shanhe thought of a move, isn't it just business as usual? It doesn't conflict with the Spring Festival! Therefore, Kunlun Restaurant will hold a small event on Chinese New Year's Eve: experience the taste of Chinese New Year.

There are still a lot of people who have signed up, but Li Shanhe only chose ten regular customers, and it is difficult to take care of them when there are too many people, but it is troublesome.

To put it bluntly, let's celebrate the New Year according to tradition, customers will experience it together, eat what they have, don't pick your mouth, otherwise be careful of the chef cutting you.

Employees supported this wise decision with both hands and feet.

There are dozens of employees and ten customers in the restaurant, and there are quite a few people counting their families. According to age, many people are Li Shanhe's elders, Li Shanhe went to say hello one by one, but he was tired and had back pain, fortunately, the red envelopes were not less, as for the amount of money, well, it was probably enough to eat a few meals of ramen.

A few bear children cheered "Spring Festival Festival~~" and ran around the table. Li Shanhe pretended to have a fierce face, but the bear child was not afraid at all, but hid behind Kyoko and giggled at him. Alas, failure, too handsome, can't pretend to be a bad guy.

"Why is Bai Sven here?"

Li Shanhe pointed to the obscene guy in the corner. Bai Siwen has suffered a lot in the past month, and his whole person has lost weight a few times, and at this time he is gobbling up the large plate of dumplings on the table, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"Brother Xiao Li, I let him in, it's the New Year's Eve, let's put down that bit of grudge first." Zhang Jie hesitated, "I think he's quite pitiful, and I'm sad to see the way he eats." Brother Li, I persuaded Kyoko to agree, don't blame her. ”

"Pretending to be pitiful and you're soft-hearted?"

"I also know that he may be pretending, but ......" Zhang Jie's eyes were a little red, "I'm just afraid to see someone starving, and she was ...... back then." Otherwise, my dad wouldn't have taken me out......"

"Stop, stop, I don't want to listen to your old calendars anymore."

These post-50s and post-60s, when it comes to starvation, it's like a different person. Let him continue to speak, and it will become a meeting of all grievances.

Li Shanhe shook his head and said, "Since you have made a decision, then I respect your choice." But you have to bear the consequences, you know? ”

Seeing that Brother Xiao Li was relieved, Zhang Jie nodded busily: "Well, Brother Xiao Li, I understand!" Just let him have a meal in the corner, it won't spoil everyone's mood! ”

Watching Zhang Jie leave happily, Li Shanhe sighed. This kid is still too young, he won't die if he fights a snake, and don't put the snake in front of him, isn't this waiting to be bitten by a snake?

Li Shanhe smacked his face, he was short of money, and Bai Siwen sent it to the door. This guy tried every means to deduct the wages of employees when he was the store manager, and he didn't know how much benefit he had......

Thinking about it, he laughed first. Looking at his current appearance of being reincarnated as a starving ghost, it is estimated that he can't squeeze much oil and water!

Anyway, before you resign, let's beat this guy first and let Zhang Jie know that human nature is sinister!

You can't just eat on Chinese New Year's Eve. This year, there is no Spring Festival Gala, and the nightlife of overseas Chinese is even more monotonous, and they can't even afford to hire a lion dance team without money. However, Lao Zhang, the back kitchen, cleaned up a piece of ground with a few employees, and then announced a decision with a wicked smile:

Everyone has to put on a show!

Li Shanhe scratched his head, a little caught off guard, no one informed him! On the contrary, Zhang Jie was the first to come to the stage and said a joke about three dozen white bone spirits, which won the applause of the audience.

This rabbit cub, said so smoothly, it must have been prepared in advance, does everyone know it, so they hide it from me?

Not only Li Shanhe was kept in the dark, but the ten customers were also a little confused.

I thought they would make a fool of themselves, but who knew that these Japanese were more unrestrained than anyone else, the head of the family protected his wife and daughter, looked up with a glass of white wine, burped wine, took off his suit, wiped soy sauce on his belly a few times, and then began to dance belly dance Lingbo dance.

The politeness in front of the people formed a great contrast with the wandering wreckage at this time, which shocked the audience for a while, and after a while, the cheers were mixed with whistles, which was deafening.

The Japanese wine restaurant culture has opened the eyes of the employees of Kunlun Restaurant, and they are willing to bow down.

Only Li Shanhe was left fighting alone. In desperation, he excused himself to go to the bathroom, closed the door and hid, and pointed the projection bulb of his phone at his arm to wake Cortana.

"Cortana, list all the Chinese songs."

"Done."

Li Shanhe pulled a long list, there were hundreds of songs, and it was not easy to find a suitable one.

He added: "In order of publication date." ”

"Sorted."

It's much more convenient now, as long as you don't sing songs released after 1968. The atmosphere is not suitable for the PASS, and the songs that are too old-fashioned such as "Sweet Honey" are passed away.

Finally, at the top of the list there is a very familiar song that is also very suitable for singing now.

After coming out of the toilet with a relaxed body, Li Shanhe sang "Congratulations" on stage with a smile and everyone's coaxing.

Every street and alley

Everyone's mouth

The first words of the meeting

It's just congratulations

……

After many years of Maiba's skills, everyone was shocked at first, and then immediately won the applause of the house. Although several Japanese people do not understand Chinese, they can also feel the festive meaning, and the cheers are louder than anyone else.

Li Shanhe glanced at them quietly. This vulgar song, which was played all over the streets during the Spring Festival in later generations, was actually composed in 1945 to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese Resistance. If you listen to it with an extremely emotional person, you can even taste a hint of sadness hidden in the song.

After getting off the stage, an old man staggered over: "I didn't expect Chinese songs to be so good, and your voice, which is a treasure given to you by God." ”

"Thank you." Li Shanhe nodded, this old man is a frequent customer, he loves to eat signature soy sauce ramen all the year round, and his temper is not good, but he didn't expect that he would be quite kind today.

"Young people, if you are interested in developing in the music industry, you can come to me." The old man said, "You have a good image and a good voice, you can become a star......"

Celebrities?

Li Shanhe smiled, although his skin is quite good, but there are no handsome guys in the entertainment industry? Japanese celebrities are all controlled by brokerage companies, and they have to shave their heads to reflect on what is good when they are found to be in love.

Besides, celebrities are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, instead of relying on their faces to mix up a round belly, it is better to take the powerful route and eat until they die.

"Firecrackers!"

The bear children cheered, they had been waiting for a long time, and ran out of the door one by one. Zhang Jie, who had been preparing for a long time, stood at the door, like a bear child than anyone else, holding a stick stick and quickly poking the lead, and then running back with his ears covered.

Crackling, smoke and red paper flying, in the screams of children and everyone's expectations for a better future, the Year of the Monkey is here.

However, no one noticed that inside the empty counter, there was a sneaky black shadow.

---

The competition between Bai Siwen and Li Shanhe, the victory or defeat is already so obvious, no matter how you look at it, Bai Siwen has no possibility of turning over. Normally, ordinary people have long given up resistance, so Zhang Jie exudes the compassion of the victor and relaxes his vigilance against him.

However, they all underestimated Bai Siwen's dedication to naturalization. In other words, he wanted to become a Japanese urgency.

After all, that palm-sized place has been colonized by Japan for half a century, and has been swept over and over again by the Japanese, and there are people with a spirit of resistance, and the grass in front of the grave is two feet high. The rest of the people either dare to be angry and dare not speak, or they are completely enslaved like Bai Siwen.

Japan was defeated, and these people suffered more than their masters. Twenty years later, Japan rose again with the help of the United States, and one by one these people were ecstatic and desperate to "integrate into the mother country".

However, they want to become Japanese, and the Japanese government does not want to collect the rags. The threshold for attaining Japanese citizenship is very high, and you must be either a technical person or a managerial talent.

The position of the manager of the Kunlun restaurant in the chain just meets the conditions for naturalization.

For Bai Siwen, who has nothing to do, today is his last fight. Whether or not they can become "superior citizens" depends on today.

So, while everyone was watching the firecrackers at the door, he slipped to the counter, held the telephone in his arms, and cautiously retreated in the direction where the telephone line was laid, until he retreated to the alley outside the back kitchen.

After setting off the firecrackers, the employees in the store didn't notice that one person was missing, and continued to stagger at the banquet. And Bai Siwen squatted in the back alley to shelter from the wind, cursing and curling into a ball, breathing warm.

At 12:50 a.m. (one hour between China and Japan), the phone rang suddenly. A hint of joy flashed in Bai Siwen's eyes, and he immediately picked up the earpiece.

"Happy New Year, hostess!"

"Is it Bai Sven? Happy New Year. ”

Bai Siwen trembled his hands, both cold and excited. The opportunity to talk directly to the hostess, he has been waiting for a long time!

Isn't that just bragging? Isn't that just lying? Who wouldn't know the skills they have practiced since childhood? It's just an open mouth:

"It was also a flash of inspiration that I set up this takeaway stall...... Who would have thought it would sell so well...... Yes, don't praise me, lady......"

"Boss, you are usually very kind to me...... No, no, don't send me a bonus...... Just take care of this takeaway stall...... I'd love to see another increase in revenue from the store......"

"You can rest assured...... Everyone was very united, and I knew that I was not capable, so I asked the original store manager to guide me...... Business is much better than it used to be......"

After getting the boss's praise, Bai Siwen hung up the phone flattered and clenched his fists.

Found a treasure!

Unexpectedly, Li Shanhe didn't report the takeaway to the proprietress!

If you don't put gold on your face at this time, how long will you wait? He unceremoniously took the takeaway shop on himself.

As for being exposed? Then I have to wait for the boss lady to come back, I am his relative, Li Shanhe is just a stinky mainland boy, who will she believe when the boss lady comes?

Even at worst, can it be worse than it is now? I can't fight Li Shanhe, can't I still pull him to be buried with me?

He held back the surprise in his heart, quietly retreated the way he came, pried open the door of the back alley, crossed the empty back kitchen, and put the telephone back on the counter.

However, he didn't realize that in the dark corner, there was a pair of eyes that were always watching here.

Li Shanhe hid the second-hand smoke at the banquet, but he didn't expect to see this scene. He didn't get angry but laughed, I haven't figured out how to squeeze you, but you sent it to the door yourself?

I'm going to let you know, Lao Tzu's money...... It's not that easy to take!

After watching Bai Siwen leave quietly, he took a deep breath, then put on his gloves and followed Bai Siwen.
