Chapter 65: Making Lanterns
"Atom, your house is well repaired, much better than your house in Zhaojia Village." Walking into the house, Wan Yunjun looked at the room and said.
"It's okay, there are a lot of materials that don't work, or they can be repaired better." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Second brother is here, please take a seat." Meng Ying, who was doing female celebrity on the side, cleaned up, stood up and greeted.
"Happy New Year, brother and sister, who are these two?" Wan Yunjun looked at Aunt Pu and Tao Yingchun, who were a little cramped on the side, and asked.
"They invited someone to help my family with the work, and they stayed in our house for the time being." Zhao Yuan took over and said.
"Uncle Tao, this is Wan Yunjun Wan Ershao, my friend and my family's business partner." Zhao Yuan introduced.
"Hello second young master, we are the hired workers of the Dong family, we fled, we were taken in by the Dong family, and we live here, it is the inner son and the little girl." Tao Pu bowed and said.
"Uncle Tao, hello, sit down." Wan Yunjun glanced at Zhao Yuan and said with a smile.
"Second brother, have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, we've been here for you early in the morning after breakfast." Wan Yunjun sat down in front of the brazier, rubbing his hands and roasting the fire.
Wan Yunjun was also very happy when he heard Zhao Yuan's introduction, could it be that Zhao Yuan finally got his hands on it and knew how to recruit people to do things, but he didn't know what Zhao Yuan was going to do, wouldn't it be farming.
"Where is Uncle Tao from, the accent is different from ours, it should be somewhere in the south, right?"
"We came to Jiangzhou, it's far away from here, and we've been walking for more than half a year." Tao Pu sighed.
"It's not easy, I also heard that there is a war over there, but I didn't expect it to have such a big impact on you, so you have all come here."
"Yes, we also heard that this side is very stable, so we went this way, but a lot of people died on the way, but fortunately we met the owner to take us in." Tao Pu said gratefully.
At this time, Qian Hu's four entourages walked in with two boxes and asked, "Boss Zhao, where do you put the things?" ”
"Second brother, this is bringing us something good again, it looks quite heavy." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
This is the third time Wan Yunjun has come to his house, and every time he comes, he brings a lot of things, and he is considered to be a little wealthy, but the cloth that makes clothes at home has not been bought by himself, and it is all sent by Wan Yunjun.
Always accept things from Wan Yunjun, Zhao Yuan is not embarrassed, he has knowledge in his mind that is more than a thousand years ahead of this era, just give Wan Yunjun any idea, the value of these things he sends is only a fraction.
Chinese pay attention to a courtesy exchange, in fact, it is also a manifestation of mutual relations. After a few conversations, Wan Yunjun knew that Zhao Yuan was a person worthy of deep friendship, and he didn't care much about some foreign objects, and he felt very comfortable chatting with Zhao Yuan.
"It's all for Wansan to help prepare, I don't even know what's inside, I brought it, just a few lanterns." Wan Yunjun said with a laugh.
"Uncle Wan, do you also want to participate in our lantern festival here?" Speaking of the lanterns, Luoluo raised her head and looked at Wan Yunjun and asked.
"Participate, the second uncle's family has moved to the county seat, which is very close to you, and you can come often in the future. Luoluo, do you have any new dishes on your food book? Wan Yunjun said with a smile.
"Yes, there are a lot of them." Luoluo said happily.
"Haha, then I'll have to taste all these delicious foods."
"Dad, is there really a lot of delicious food at Uncle Atom's house?" Wan Changsong, who kept looking around, asked.
"Of course, haven't you been going to the restaurant to eat all the time during this time, and many of the dishes there were learned from your Uncle Atom."
"Really, Uncle Atom, can you make us something delicious?" Snack Wan Changsong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhao Yuan with anticipation and said.
"Of course you can, Chang Song, what do you want to eat?" Zhao Yuan looked at the chubby Wan Changsong and asked with a smile.
"The last time my father came to your house, did he eat a delicious clay pot barbecue?"
"Yes, your father told you."
"Uh-huh, I heard my dad say it's delicious, can you make it for us?"
"I don't have any ingredients today, so why don't I make something delicious that you haven't eaten?" Zhao Yuan said regretfully.
It is very time-consuming to make clay pot barbecue, and there is no fresh pork belly at home, but I bought a few chickens when I rushed to the market two days ago, but I can kill them to make a delicacy that Zhao Yuan has long wanted to make, but has never had the opportunity to make.
"Okay, what's it?"
"Haven't you heard of it?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Uncle, are you going to eat the chicken you bought a few days ago?" Luoluo on the side said a little unhappily.
Originally, Zhao Yuan planned to wait for the weather to warm up before starting the construction of a new home and establishing a chicken and duck farm, but a few days ago, when he was rushing to the market, he met a villager in Songjiazhuang who went to the market to sell chickens.
Luoluo has always wanted to feed some small animals in the new home, and after a few chickens were bought, a few little guys have been feeding, Zhao Yuan told them the theory of chickens laying eggs and eggs hatching chickens, Luoluo waited for a lot of chickens at home in the future, and Zhao Yuan didn't let him kill a rooster to eat.
"Luoluo, you see, Uncle Wan Erbo and they came from afar, as the host, do we want to entertain them well, and Brother Changsong and Brother Changyan are both coming to our house for the first time, Uncle promises, I will buy more chickens for you to raise next time." Zhao Yuan comforted the little girl.
"Atom, since Luoluo doesn't want you to kill chickens, why don't I let Qian Hu and them go to the market and buy a few more?" Wan Yunjun swallowed his saliva and said.
"Uncle, you promised me to buy more chickens to raise, and the big flowers can't be killed." Luoluo looked around the guests and said.
"Okay, listen to Luoluo, second brother, Changyan Changsong, it's still early, let's make lanterns first." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Do you still do it? Didn't you bring so many lanterns? Wan Yunjun said suspiciously.
"The materials are ready, and Luoluo wants to make a lamp in the shape of a mouse, but you don't have any of that." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, in fact, he likes to do it himself, and by the way, cultivate the children's interest in doing it themselves.
"I'm here to help, see how you do it, these lights I bought were bought from the county seat, could it be that you can do better than mine." Wan Yunjun shook his head and said.
"Let's try it, haha, Brother Qian, you guys come to help too." Zhao Yuan smiled and shouted out Wan Yunjun's four entourage.
"Why, I really haven't done any of these things." Wan Yunjun said with interest.
"Simple, first of all, we have to build a fire and bend the bamboo strips into the shape we want, Xiaoying, you and Aunt Pu help boil a little paste with flour, and we will use it to stick the lanterns later." Zhao Yuan said as he got up and walked into the courtyard.
Luoluo and a few little guys also followed to the yard, several children are not very old, Meng Xiaobao is eight years old, Wan Changyan is two months younger than Xiaobao, Tao Xinyi is six years old, Wan Changsong is five years old, the youngest is Luoluo, and after a while, he is very familiar with the two boys of Wan Yunjun's family.
Originally, Zhao Yuan thought that it should be very simple to make lanterns, but when he started to collect them, he knew that they were not easy to do, and the shape of the bamboo strips was a little irregular, and the first lantern made looked very ugly.
"Uncle, I'd better take the lamp that Wan Erbo bought to attend the lantern festival at night." Luoluo said after looking at the first lantern made by Zhao Yuan.
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, it's the first time I've seen such an ugly lantern." Wan Yunjun looked at the lantern that Zhao Yuan had made and couldn't see what shape he had made, and said with a laugh, it turned out that in addition to Zhao Yuan's ugly writing, he was even uglier when he made a lantern.
"Isn't this the first one I'm not familiar with, wait, I know what's wrong." Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and threw the lamp aside, ready to move on to the next one.
"It's up to me, haha." Wan Yunjun also picked up the bamboo strips and started to make them according to Zhao Yuan's method just now, thinking that he would make a good-looking lantern.
