Chapter 280: Inn
Since he was a child, Liu Yong has given the workers a holiday. The previous overtime production has made the warehouse full. And branches around the country are also stocked with New Year's goods.
The female workers and the servants packed up and went home for the New Year. The huge sauce shop was suddenly much quieter. Ying Ying and several martial arts children were also allowed to play in the front yard. With more space, the children are happy.
The family members of the martial artist are basically the wives of the martial artists, and children. did not take his parents over as Liu Yong said. In ancient times, there were several children in the family. I went to my parents' house for the Chinese New Year.
These ladies all lived in the east and west wings of the courtyard. They are all women from good families who are peaceful, and they also respect their owners.
With them, the courtyard is also lively.
Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and these families will be busy with the next people. was invited by the owner to celebrate the New Year, and her husband still had money to get, which is a great thing.
Now you can hear the sound of firecrackers in the city, crackling, reminding Liu Yong of the years of the future. I can't help but feel a little sad. But when he saw this family, his heart was also relieved a lot. When I was a child, I used to go to my grandfather's house for the New Year, and my grandfather was the boss. Later, my grandparents passed away, and my father became the boss for the New Year.
And today, in his sauce shop, he is the boss. The busy servants in the courtyard are all his servants, and the people in the building are all his relatives who are happily welcoming the New Year. Fortunately, there are martial artists such as Liu Qiang here, otherwise there would really be a shortage of men here.
This year, he wanted Lin Qingrou's parents to also come for the New Year, but there was no such rule, and Lin Hualang had something to do, and Liu Yong also gave him a generous salary, which made Daddy Lin's resentment towards his son reduce a lot. Now, the father and son have reconciled, and the New Year will naturally be spent in the Lin family teahouse.
At this moment, he watched others busy and felt that he couldn't be idle, so he called Liu Qiang and others to inspect the surroundings of the sauce shop. He believes that the more the Chinese New Year, the more security should not be taken lightly.
They circled around the fence outside the sauce shop together, and every twenty meters or so there was another patrol and guard, these were not ordinary soldiers, they were all transferred by Liu Yong from the side of Goosehead Mountain. These are homeless young people, but they have learned some martial arts.
After inspecting the circle, Liu Yong frowned.
"Great official, what else are you not satisfied with?" Liu Qiang asked.
"Brother Liu, have you seen these straws and wooden fences outside the wall?" Liu Yong asked.
"Well, I see." Liu Qiang replied.
"You asked me to clean up the weeds and straw near the base of the wall, as well as the wooden fence." Liu Yong commanded.
"Okay." Liu Qiang agreed.
"Also, when tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you send a few more people to patrol, let them work in shifts for half an hour, and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Liu Yong admonished again.
"Great official, you are really benevolent." Liu Qiang arched his hand.
"Alright, you can do it." Liu Yong said.
Liu Qiang went. Su Erniang on the side said, "Brother, what are you worried about?" ”
Liu Yongyou looked around, looking a little worried. said: "I always feel that Ma Gan and Guo Dequan are a little too quiet. Especially Ma Gan, a hot-headed person like him can stay so stable. And Miss Ma, I don't know why I haven't heard from her for a long time. ”
Listening to Liu Yong's words, Su Erniang couldn't help but look over at Ma Ji Sauce Restaurant.
"Brother, the Ma Ji Sauce Shop has closed down and dismissed the workers, and it is really incomprehensible to close the door all day long." Su Erniang also frowned.
"yes, I have to guard against it!" Liu Yong sighed.
"Brother, don't worry too much, with our kind of defense, I don't think even a fly can fly in!" Su Erniang said.
"I did what I had to do, and if they were going to come, they would come." Liu Yong said.
Su Erniang nodded.
"Sister Su, let's go."
"Okay."
……
In a small inn in the easternmost part of Meizhou City, a young man came in, and he went directly to a small room in the innermost. The inn was deserted, and when the young man entered the house, there was no one in the shop except a young man. And the young man was also listlessly dozing off on the counter.
The door was locked inside. I heard one of them say, "Nephew, you're here." ”
"Uncle, I've already arranged it over there."
"Okay, then we'll be here tomorrow night waiting for the good news."
"No, I'm going to oversee the battle myself tomorrow night."
"Virtuous nephew, will this be dangerous?"
"Hmph, even if there is danger, I will go, I just want to see them die with my own eyes, so that my heart will be happy enough."
"Okay, uncle, I'll wait here for your good news."
"yes, okay."
Silence for a moment.
"Huh? Virtuous nephew, think about it again and see if there are any mistakes? ”
"Probably not!"
"Are you sure there will be a northwest wind tomorrow night?"
"Uncle, I have calculated with the physiognomy of this nephew, and he watches the stars at night, indicating that there must be a northwest wind at night."
"Don't you're a god, are you?"
"No, I'm inquiring from many sources, and there will be no mistake."
"Okay, haha, then I'll be relieved."
……
The next day, the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar, every household in and outside the city hung lanterns, pasted window flowers, paper cuts, and couplets on the street. Liu Yong doesn't understand the rules of the New Year here, and Li Xinniang is single-handed. Moreover, the people are also locals, and they are familiar with the customs of the New Year.
Of course, the most important thing in the Chinese New Year's Eve is to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
In this lonely ancient time, there was no Spring Festival Gala to watch, Liu Yong wanted to hire a troupe to act at home, but learned that at this time, there was no specific drama type, and there was no mature troupe. There are simple operas that are only performed in Goolan Washe, and there is no popular habit of performing them at home.
But fortunately, there are many people at home, and it is also lively to gather together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The courtyard was full of tables, one table for Liu Yong's own family, the rest were several tables for the families of the samurai, and two tables for the servants and maids. There are also female workers who have not gone home, it can be said that they have no home to count the tables, and Sun Liuniang takes the lead.
Liu Yong's family's table was naturally on the square platform in front of the entrance of the building. Due to the cold weather, the main dishes are hot pot and cold cuts. Liu Yong felt that the temperature tonight was about seven or eight degrees.
The tables and tables are steaming, and the courtyard is filled with a mixed smell of vegetables and wine, which smells like the smell of the New Year.
Liu Yong raised his glass and said a toast, and everyone drank the last glass of wine of the year together.
Then, the little guy gave up the firecrackers outside the yard, and this was the first wave of firecrackers tonight.
