Chapter 246: Chinese New Year's Eve (1)
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky is full.
Since the old man's death, Jiang's two brothers have not celebrated the Spring Festival together. Not that there is any contradiction, but that a high-ranking official and a wealthy businessman have their own ideas and way of life. Forced reunions will only embarrass each other.
This year, however, was unexpected. When Jiang's father learned that his daughter was going home, he took the initiative to invite his younger brother to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. Although the second uncle was strange, there was nothing he couldn't do, so he agreed.
As a result, the two families of six came together.
At this moment, the two brothers were talking secretly in the study upstairs. It's strange that the door is closed tightly. Two ladies are making dumplings downstairs. Oh, to be exact, it's Ma Jiang who makes dumplings, and the second aunt makes rice cakes.
The second aunt's name is Yang Qing, born in a scholarly family south of the Yangtze River, and the smoke and rain are hazy. She looked weak, but with her husband's status and financial resources, she could stay in the palace for decades, and her calculation methods were not at all comparable to ordinary people.
It's past eight o'clock now. The Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on television. The two of them watched and talked.
"This party is for northerners, as if the whole country is eating dumplings for the New Year. But honestly, if I didn't know so many Southern friends, I would have thought the same before. Ma Jiang smiled.
"I don't watch it very often. I didn't understand and didn't think it was funny, even though I skimmed a few songs and dances, and drew some cross talk sketches. ā
Yang Qing spoke softly, his hands busy. He takes out the glutinous rice that has been mashed beforehand and mixes it with sugar, sesame seeds, green plums, raisins, etc. It becomes a filler. He brushed a layer of lard on a square plate and coated it with sticky rice. Each layer is filled with some filler, for a total of three layers.
Then steam in a pot, this is called Babao rice cake.
"Well, it seems that when you first got married, I tasted your craft once, and there are not many opportunities in the future. I can eat some luck today. Ma Jiang sighed.
"Oh, everybody's busy. It's time to get together during the Chinese New Year. ā
After packing the rice cakes, Yang Qing glanced at the bedroom and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, Violet has been following Xiaozhai since graduation." I didn't even know what she was doing. I didn't say anything after asking. Do you know what's going on?"
"Well, I'm not sure. We really don't understand and can't ask young people. ā
Ma Jiang paused and said, "As long as it's safe, I don't care about anything else." ā
"Sister-in-law's heart is still wide."
She smiled and didn't ask again.
......
In the bedroom, Xiao Zhai and Xiao Jin Pia stretched out on the bed. One 177, one 175, all legs, all legs.
My sister is playing a game while Xiaozhai is looking at the app.
In just a few days, 7 more items were added to the biological atlas, with the highest number of plants, 19 items spread across 15 provinces. There are thirteen entries for animals, spread over nine provinces.
Meteorology still does not exist, and geography is still the peach blossom miasma of the Cao River estuary.
She first rummaged through the spectrum of plants, nothing special, these were all common alienation phenomena, but the medicinal value increased a little. Then look at the animal spectrum, but huh.
"The blackfin yellowtail eel is serpentine, about 110-160 centimeters long and up to 2 meters long. The original shape was a yellow eel. After alienation, it produces a fan-shaped black dorsal fin with a golden-yellow tail tip and full of barbs.
The body is bare, smooth, green and mucus-rich. The head is swollen and there are fine teeth on the roof of the mouth, jaw and valve bones. The bite force is very strong, and it is easy to bite off the arm bones of adults. He is fierce and aggressive, and is not easily approachable.
Location: East Dongting Lake, Yueyang-Junshan-Huarong first-line breeding area, West Dongting Lake, Qili Lake-Muping Lake first-line breeding area, the number of bitten people is very large.
The blood is toxic, it can irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth and digestive tract, damage the nervous system, numb the limbs, and lead to respiratory and circulatory failure. However, this toxin is not heat-tolerant and can be cooked and consumed at high temperatures. It can replenish qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and reduce some toxins. ā
"Huge thick-shelled fish, 80-130 cm long, 50-90 cm tall upright, with a flattened, oval body, thick armor on the back and abdomen, strong defense, resistant to all kinds of pistol fire.
The prototype is a soft-shelled turtle with small eyes, new teeth in its mouth, an elongated neck, 5 toes on each of its front and hind legs, and 3 claws on its inside.
Gluttony, food shortages can similarly kill each other, and even go ashore to eat people. It does not have the habit of hibernation and is found in all breeding areas of Dongting Lake. There were no casualties. ā
"Hyropsiscumingii, whose original form is a spinnaker mussel, is widely cultivated in the Dongting Lake area and has not changed much, mainly due to its increased size, darker color and similar habits.
This mussel is unique to summer fruit and is a good material for pearl farming. 80-120 mussels, 500 grams of seedless pearls, nuclear pearls, colored pearls, night pearls, etc. In addition, pearl cultivation can be carried out, in which pearl cores are inserted into the mantle of adult mussels to produce pearls with a maximum size of more than 8 mm.
Meat can be eaten, and pearl powder has the functions of clearing heat, suppressing convulsions, antiseptic, building muscles, brightening eyes, and detoxifying. The effects of alienated pearl farming are not yet known and are being tested. ā
Dongting Lake, Dongting Lake...
Xiaozhai muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness: "The water tribe has finally become strong, and it will be able to endure it in the future." ā
When Pansy heard this, she leaned over to take a look and shouted, "Wow, even the eel has gotten better these days." Whoever dares to broadcast live, I will reward her with 100 million yuan!"
ā......ā
Xiaozhai glanced at her and didn't bother to take care of her. He only said: "All three are in Dongting Lake." Water and land are not the same. It's best not to create any trouble. ā
Don't blame her for worrying, Dongting is much more powerful than a volcano.
Its predecessor was Osava, the ancient cloud dream. The Hanyang Chronicles recorded: "The clouds are on the north side of the river, and the dream is on the south side of the river." "Together, they're called Cloud Dreams.
At its peak, it covers an area of 40,000 square kilometers, east to Zhouqi, west to Zhijiang, south to Jingshan, and north to Caoqing, all of which are ancient Yunmeng.
Later, due to sediment accumulation, Yunmengze was divided into two parts, north of the Yangtze River is a swampy area, while south of the Yangtze River there is still a vast lake, Dongting Lake.
If this place changes and Yunmeng recovers, tsk, don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
"Xiao Zhai, Xiao Jin, eat!"
"Alright, we're here!"
The two men lay down for a while, suddenly listened to the phone call from the other side, and then got up and went out.
Dad Jiang and the second uncle also happened to come out, and the second uncle looked at them as usual, he shouldn't know the inside story, and he was still on his depressed face, maybe Dad Jiang revealed something.
At the dinner table, he drank a lot of wine and soon fainted. Yang Qing helped him into the guest room.
Ma Jiang cleaned up the mess. Xiao Zi pretends to be smart and runs to help. Father Jiang looked at his daughter, embarrassed and unnatural, and said, "Can we talk?"
"Hmm. Xiaozhai nodded.
As a result, the father and daughter went into the study again.
At the time, the atmosphere was strange. Both parties are polite, unlike blood relatives.
ā......ā
After a long silence, Xiaozhai finally spoke. Rao Shijiang's father was mentally prepared and taken aback.
"Dad, can you resign with Mom?" "Director Mu, with all due respect, you can't be the master of what we're going to talk about. Wen Gu said solemnly.
ā......ā
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere became tense. The three of them were on the other side, and the pile of turnips couldn't be heard, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed that life and death were in the hands of others.
In fact, there is nothing they can do about it. If they could, they didn't want to contact the government at all. No way, first of all, Long Qiu is in someone's place. Second, in its current form, it is a matter of time before it meets later, even if it does not contact now.
Now is not an ancient society, looking for a deep mountain and dense forest, a drill, you can't find it in a lifetime. Frankly, all resources are official, including monastic ones.
Judging by the official actions, it is clear that we already have some information that we must dig deep into until it is fully understood.
This conflict between personal resources and government control is natural. Rather than waiting for the government to face it squarely, it is better to negotiate fairly when there is a license.
Of course, the roads are important, they are weak, and if you take the initiative to come to the door, it is tantamount to surrender. So the two of them together, it is better to borrow today's things, obviously let the other party find them, at least in terms of form.
"Humph!"
Mu Kun paused for a while, then suddenly interrupted him with a cold snort, and said sarcastically: "There is a saying that ordinary people are chaotic, and it is you who speak." With some skills, you can do whatever you want, and treat the laws and regulations of the country as nothing! The temple house incident has not yet been resolved with you. Today, he was arrested again. Do you know that this is a heinous crime? I don't recognize the law, but I also want to talk about the wrong conditions. I overestimated my weight. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the government?"
These words are extremely rude. He stared at the two men. This official power and gaze often creates enormous psychological oppression.
"Oh, of course we're qualified to ......"
Wen Gu was not angry either. He seemed to know the other party's tricks, and only replied slowly: "Because only I can find what you want most." ā
ā......ā
He looked at the fat man in front of him, black and slippery, seemingly Wei Zhengguang's eyes, but with nervousness and cunning.
This is clearly speculation, by the way brushing some presence, desperate achievements. So he didn't pay much attention and smiled, "Well, I understand what you're saying. ā
"What do you mean?" Jiang Fan said busily.
"IāI don't mean anything......"
Wen Gu seemed to be joking and said, "This matter is too complicated. IMHO, you can't ask. ā
If Wen Gu had been more conservative, he might have said, "I agree with you and pay as much attention to it as possible in the future." ā
If he is a little arrogant, he may say: I kill people, what can you do?
