Chapter 92: Chinese New Year's Eve Activities

Qu Wu, Ziyan and Chen Qing returned to Prince Shoumeng's palace and began to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve event, for which they did not eat dinner, but kept their stomachs for tonight's supper.

Qu Wu told them that today was going to be a Chinese New Year's Eve that kept the local traditions while being new and chic. To do this, he asked the kitchen to prepare the dumpling filling and roll the dough according to his requirements, and he had to make dumplings with these brothers and sisters.

When Zi Yan and Chen Qing passed by the bazaar, they bought the statues of gods and Yu Lei carved from peach stalks, and hung them in front of the gate of the palace to avoid the infestation of demons and monsters.

In the evening, the big Mao brothers, Chen Shi, and Ji Zhi, who were helping the kitchen in the palace, returned to the palace, and everyone began to get busy in the lobby together.

The first activity is dumpling-making. None of them had ever seen dumplings except for Qu Wu, so Qu Wu had to tell them how to make dumplings first. Since the dumpling wrappers and meat fillings have long been prepared, making dumplings has become very simple, Qu Wu taught them by hand, and everyone learned them in a while.

But they wondered why they had to go to such great lengths to wrap the minced meat in the dough. Is it really delicious to do so?

After wrapping the dumplings, they brought firewood and a stove from the kitchen, put a large pot on it and started cooking, and then Qu Wu told them how to make the dishes.

After the dumplings were cooked, everyone began to learn how to eat Qu Wu, dipping them in the sauce and eating them. To their surprise, it was so delicious that they couldn't stop.

Zi Yan and Chen Qing even called delicious. After eating, Chen Qing began to be naughty, pinching his nose and learning the coquettish tone of Princess Mengmeng, he said to Qu Wu: "Boss, you are eccentric, such delicious dumplings only let me eat today." ”

Qu Wu and Ziyan laughed when they heard it, Da Mao They didn't know what it meant, and hurriedly asked Chen Qing what the two of them were laughing at, Chen Qing told everyone what happened in the palace during the day, and everyone laughed again after speaking.

Ji Zhi said with a smile: "Boss, this princess must have taken a fancy to you, be careful when the king recruits you as a concubine." ”

When Ziyan heard this, she was still laughing, but she stopped saying anything.

Chen Qing waved his hand and said, "Our boss is not a person who tends to be inflammatory. Boss, are you right? ”

Qu Wu thought for a while and asked everyone: "Let me ask you a sensitive question, what is the most important thing between men and women?" Is it money, status, or affection? ”

Ji Zhi preemptively said: "Of course, money is the most important. With money, you can have status, and there will be many matchmakers coming to your door. ”

Chen Shi said: "But some status is not something you can buy if you want to, so status is the most important." With status, there will naturally be money, and there will be people who come to the door to say goodbye. ”

Qu Wu said: "If someone comes to the door to say goodbye, there will be a wife." But with a lady comes affection? ”

"Of course, a one-day husband and wife have a hundred days, of course, there are feelings." Chen Damao is worthy of being a person who has come over, and he never forgets the way of love between husband and wife.

Everyone laughed, and Ji Zhi hurriedly asked Da Mao if he missed his sister-in-law.

"It's still Da Mao who has experience. However, in our hometown, men and women fall in love first and then get married. Qu Wu said.

"Boss, what is love?" Chen Ermao was a little curious, in fact, everyone wanted to know the answer, and they all looked at Qu Wu for a while and listened to how he explained.

"Love, that is, between men and women first through direct contact to establish feelings, the establishment of this feeling, some people are based on money, some people are based on status, some people are based on common interests or common views on things, no matter what the basis is built, I think that life between men and women should still be concentrated in feelings, without feelings, money and status only let themselves live with dignity and not let themselves live a quality life." Qu Wu put down the dishes and chopsticks, thought about it seriously, and said.

"Does the boss mean that two people have to have feelings before they can be together?" Ji Zhi asked.

"That's how it is in us, you have to have feelings before you talk about marriage." Qu Wu added.

"But Li Yue and I didn't talk about our relationship first, and it's not bad now." Chen Damao said.

"You get married first and then build a relationship, if two people happen to have the same idea, of course it's good. The point is that in our place, there is equality between men and women, and women have their own things to do, so they can live without men, so feelings are very important. Qu Wu said.

"Oh, no wonder. Equality between men and women, this is too shocking, right? Unthinkable. Chen Damao said.

Ziyan never said anything in this conversation about love and marriage, but she listened to everything they said very carefully.

Qu Wu knew that it was too difficult to get the ancients to accept modern ideas; And if he wants to follow the local customs in terms of concept, it means regression, and he can't accept it.

It's not good to eat dumplings so that everyone is full, and there are not many times when everyone is together so easily, so they are all very happy.

"Boss, the first activity is to make dumplings and eat dumplings, what is this second activity? It can't be anything to eat again, right? I can't eat it. Chen Qing asked.

"Of course not. The second item is play, I will teach you to play a fun thing: fighting the landlord. Qu Wu said.

"What? What landlord? Chen Qing asked, and the others didn't understand what it meant.

Qu Wu took out a deck of playing cards, first teach everyone to recognize the cards, these Arabic words and J, Q, K they do not know, fortunately it is very simple, plus the playing cards have points on the mark, after a while they all remember; Then tell them how to shuffle the cards, how to touch the rules and how to play.

After playing for a while, everyone mastered the essentials, divided into two groups and began to play, Ji Zhi pinched his nose and learned Chen Qing's imitation of Princess Meng's coquettish tone and said to Qu Wu: "Boss, you are biased, such a fun thing is only for us to play today." ”

There was another burst of laughter.

"Okay, now we'll have something to play with from now on. Boss, let me ask you a question, this landlord is so fun, do you people there play this every day? Chen Damao asked curiously while holding the cards.

"No, playing cards are just one of the many games we have there, and playing cards can play a lot of tricks, fighting landlords is just one of the poker games." Qu Wu said.

"So what else is there to play besides playing cards?" Chen Ermao asked.

"There are many, there are mahjong, dominoes, billiards, chess, Go, military chess, many, many more, and some of these things are available in warehouses. However, the most popular games for those of us there are computer games and mobile games. Qu Wu said.

"There's it in the warehouse? Is it? Great, boss, teach us to play, are there any computer games and mobile games you said? Chen Qing said happily.

"These two games don't have them, it's too complicated." Qu Wu said.

"So much fun, huh?" Ziyan asked.

"There are a lot of games I haven't played." Qu Wu said.

Hearing Qu Wu say this, everyone thought it was incredible, and they couldn't think of any other words to describe their feelings except envy. It's just that they can't imagine that in fact, everything Qu Wu said is accumulated bit by bit from their predecessors, and without the efforts of their predecessors, modern society is just a castle in the air.

After they had fully learned, Qu Wu told them how to calculate the scores, how to reward and punish, and with these rewards and punishments, they had more fun now.

Qu Wu also took a lot of snacks to eat, and they were all snacks that had not been sold before and they had not yet eaten, and they ate while playing, and everyone agreed on the idea that it would be better if it was Chinese New Year's Eve every day.
