Chapter 240: The Great Reunion Dinner
Under Jing Zhicheng's repeated questioning, Yang Jibin informed them of their arrangements in advance: the head office had bought land in Fucheng City and built a large supermarket, which was about to be completed.
The first supermarket will be created within a month after the Spring Festival, and Jing Zhiqiang will be appointed as the deputy manager of the administration department and Jing Miaozhu will be the deputy manager of the department store. After the two of them have been working for two years, they will have another important responsibility, and they will be transferred to serve as the manager of the newly opened chain store.
After a painstaking explanation, Jing Zhiqiang was finally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, followed by another round of greetings.
Originally, Yang Jibin planned to go to his grandparents' house, but after Jing Zhiqiang and Bu Xiumin stayed strongly, he didn't make the trip, so he had to hurry back home after dinner at his house. As for the gifts to be given to my grandparents, I had to wait until the day after tomorrow when I had a reunion dinner.
……
Yang Jibin woke up, it was already dawn at this time, and he played fireworks and game consoles with Yang Jishun and other friends last night, and he was too excited to play, until late at night under the three urges and four invitations of the adults, and then they went home to sleep.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there will be a reunion dinner at noon, and the scale of this banquet will be unprecedented. In addition to inviting Yang Yirong's family and Yang Yi'an's family, even Li Yuanliang's family also greeted him, and even said that no matter if the daughter-in-law and son-in-law of that family have relatives who are willing to come, they can come.
In previous years, Yang Yiren also held three or four tables at most, and in addition to his own children, he invited the second and third brothers to come to the group.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of people will exceed 70 people, so today we have to prepare eight tables of banquets, fortunately, there are many people with great strength, and various ingredients can be completely taken from local materials. Self-sufficient, so one or two people from each family to help with the cooking are enough to cope.
Spicy sausages, smoked bacon and other cured meats are indispensable on the New Year's dinner of Tianfu people. Smoked bacon is a platter of salty and flavorful. As the name suggests, bacon is the bacon that is marinated during the wax moon. In the era when there was no refrigeration method, curing, smoking and air-drying was the best way to store meat. In time. It has become an indispensable opening dish at the Tianfu people's feast. Every household in Tianfu makes bacon, and they make a lot of it at one time, which can be eaten until the next year.
After the pig is killed, people hang the fresh meat string rope from the beam and pillar above the stove door of the wood-burning stove, and smoke the fire tongue and firewood smoke that stretch out the stove door every time they make a fire to cook rice, until the color is golden, smell very fragrant, and the fire tongue licks the meat and squeaks. It's mouth-watering.
In the middle of the lunar month, each household began to push and grind the soup yuan noodles again, so that the whole family could eat the brown sugar rice balls that symbolized sweetness and reunion on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Since ancient times, the New Year has been about a reunion, regardless of the distance, and by the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they must rush back to their hometown to reunite, and if they really can't go back, they must also take a letter back to report safety. This is what the old people call "the year is the same as the day". Qi means Qi and reunion.
Reunion is exactly what people pray for when they make so much preparation. Just like the indispensable reunion dinner for the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The year has four themes: reunion, auspiciousness, wealth, and joy. At the top of the list is reunion, emotionally. The Chinese people who have always lived a group life, the most beautiful yearning is the family affection and harmony in the world, the human touch, and the strongest flavor of the Chinese people.
Today, the dishes of the New Year's dinner at home are naturally rich and abnormal, full of local characteristics and strong New Year's flavor.
Cold chicken nuggets: spicy and fragrant. Appetizing and refreshing; Salty/sweet roasted white: fresh and crispy; Steamed pork: steamed vegetables, steaming and thriving; Dongpo elbow: red and bright in color, overflowing with meat; Deep-fried crispy pork: golden and crispy to attract wealth; Roast duck: a neat and tidy New Year; watercress fish / sauerkraut fish / steamed fish, more than every year; Stir-fried vegetables: Eat too much meat and get some vegetarian food, the icing on the cake......
This New Year's dinner is not just for the family to get together and eat. Colleagues and friends will also get together for a meal after the New Year. After entering the twentieth month of the lunar month, Yang Jibin and Li Wenrong have already eaten several New Year's dinners. Including the employees of the game hall, all the employees of the winery, the employees of the hotel group, the employees of the transportation company, the construction workers and employees of the company's headquarters, the county party committee and the county government, etc.
As for the New Year's money for all employees, it is naturally indispensable, and the minimum standard is that everyone is paid an extra month's salary, for employees with good work performance, especially middle and senior managers, there are a lot of dividends, which really makes everyone have a fat year.
As soon as this large amount of New Year's money is scattered, the direct effect is to make Hongcheng County have a strong New Year's flavor by three points, and each shop owner earns a lot of gold and silver, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth, and the indirect effect is to make the migrant workers who return to their hometowns envious and jealous for a while, and they have made up their minds to stay in their hometown to work after the New Year, and never go out again.
After a long period of busy work, it was finally twelve o'clock in the middle of noon
This big family gathered around eight tables, and the entire Yang family compound was overcrowded, and the sound of greetings and loud cups and cups was very lively.
After eating enough, Yang Jibin found an opportunity to give his grandparents and several of his grandparents a finely carved jade pendant and a well-prepared New Year's gift. Such a generous gift, this is naturally to win everyone's unanimous praise.
Yang Jibin's cousin Li Haopeng also returned home from the island country thousands of miles away and attended today's reunion banquet. After Yang Jibin sent the gifts, he beckoned Li Haopeng to walk around the mountain together.
"Thank you, cousin, for your help. Are you still used to studying in an island country? Yang Jibin asked as he walked.
"What are you thankful for this little thing, not to mention that you gave a lot of commissions, so I made a lot of extra money, and I have to thank you for it." In addition to the diet and climate, there is nothing unaccustomed, and the price of that small place is really expensive. Li Haopeng pushed his glasses and replied with a smile.
"Yes, I also heard that the prices there are quite high, who called that place an island country, the land of projectiles still doesn't know family planning, and there is nothing to do to build / people to go." Yang Jibin grinned and gestured towards Li Haopeng.
"You kid is really a little ghost, what are you talking about!" Li Haopeng was slightly stunned, and then understood in seconds, he was really thundered by Yang Jibin's gestures, and he didn't know where he learned all these messy things, Li Haopeng's face was slightly red, as if he had been told something.
"I've just heard that, hehe. After returning home, do you feel that our hometown has changed much? Yang Jibin smiled and changed the topic.
"Well, it's really big, especially the changes here, it makes me wonder if I'm dreaming, I really didn't expect you to be so capable." When Li Haopeng was studying in the island country, he also heard his mother talk about some changes in his hometown and Yang Jibin.
But at this moment, Li Haopeng can be regarded as a personal experience, what is called "Shibei should be impressed in three days", I really never thought that the experience of life is so wonderful! (To be continued.) )
