After the banquet, the Spring Festival, people are now called New Year's Day, and it is also called the New Year, and the days will eventually return to the festival.

On the first day, I handed over the menu to the housekeeper and asked him to take care of it, and handed over the dishes to the kitchen. Dumplings, that's a must, chicken, duck and fish, that's also a must. Of course, considering that there are only two people in his family, Wei Yan explained to the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to tell the people in the mansion that regardless of whether he has a family or not, the family does not need to purchase a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, just eat in the mansion and have a big party. Anyway, after the purchase, the kitchen was busy.

First of all, croquettes, fried crispy meat, and twist flowers, which are essential foods for the New Year. What fish balls, pork balls, lotus root balls, I made a lot, but unfortunately there is no beef, otherwise you can make beef balls, which is also a delicacy. Crispy meat, fried pork and fish.

There is also roast duck, which is made according to the method of Peking duck, and Wei Yan went to a rural roast duck restaurant to steal the technique he learned, and the taste is definitely not as good as that of Quanjude, otherwise, he would not have thought of eating roast duck until the New Year.

Let the kitchen do a lot, early in the morning of the thirtieth National Congress, Wei Yan took people to send them to the Qin Mansion first, and also explained the method, so that they could cook and eat according to their own taste. Then there were Cheng Mansion, Wei Chi Mansion, Li Mansion, in short, sent them one by one. His brother-in-law Sun Da was there, and Wei Yan specially asked someone to make vegetarian balls and personally sent them to the door, which was praised by Sun Dada.

I sent it back, and I continued to be a conductor in the kitchen, and I bought so many things, and I was sure to finish it all. Xie took the time to go around, and the smell of oil in the kitchen made her retch. I was so scared that I hurried back. It's the two little Lili who recruit brother and carp. I was attracted by the fragrance several times, and took a lot of balls from Wei Yan to eat as snacks.

The cook was not happy. Saying that Wei Yan, the young master, wants to spoil them, Wei Zhen is happy, who was not like this when he was a child, when he was a child, he basically ate from the beginning of preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the children were like this. Gluttonous.

Lele hehe, he was very busy until the afternoon, Cheng Ming and Qin Meng came to the door one after another to ask for something and land. The first target is meatballs, Qin Meng also complained: "When the chef at home came to you to learn, why didn't you teach you how to make meatballs and roast duck, what a good thing, and now you can eat it." ”

Wei Yan smirked. said: "Didn't you forget? It's not a New Year, and I usually can't remember to eat meatballs, but I only remember it during the New Year! ”

When Qin Meng and Cheng Ming came over, they both brought a lot of materials. We are based on the principle of not wasting resources. I want meatballs, okay. Come, the two strong men don't rest, come and help chop the meat. Now there is no meat grinder, chopping such fine meat is definitely purely artificial, don't you look at his big tiger and second tiger's hands are still shaking!

Supporting Qin Meng, Cheng Ming, and the ground guards they brought, a group of tall and strong old men, wielding double knives, began to chop meat, that scene, it is not enough to describe the grandeur.

In short, Wei Yan was stunned from the sidelines, and marveled that he had unintentionally made such a big scene. After Xie heard about it, he ran over to take a look at his pale face, amazed again and again, and before making a dizzy appearance, he cast an admiring look at Wei Yan, and then hurriedly let Zhao Brother and Li'er, who were also frightened and their little faces pale and their legs trembled, to help them go back to the backyard. Actually, Wei Yan also wants to run, but it's a gentleman, at this time, he has to stand up hard, and he feels miserable and inhumane when he thinks about it.

The power of the masses is infinite, and the energy of a group of old men chopping meat together is even more huge. In addition to being able to frighten onlookers into turning pale and the little girls' legs trembling, there is also a huge benefit, that is, high efficiency. An hour later, before dark, Wei Yan finally sent Qin Meng and Cheng Ming away, and took away a cart of fried food that was still steaming.

Get ready to eat, gather the people in the hospital, the cake shop, and the Zhuangzi in one place, and put the meals all in the large dining room. This is the advantage of not having a real estate industry in ancient times, the home is wide, a dining room, and a dozen or so tables are too spacious. It's like a modern house, and if you buy a big house like the Weifu dining room, it will cost hundreds of thousands. Wei Yan also discovered one of the great benefits of feudal society.

Everyone sat down, Wei Yan and Xie sat in the first seat, Wei Yan got up with a wine glass, and said loudly: "Today's New Year, happy!" Family, everyone knows, the Wei Mansion is my wife and me, the Wei Mansion can have today, not only the credit of our two people, but also the credit of your efforts, as the master of the Wei Mansion, on behalf of myself and my wife, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their hard work! Come, drink this cup full! ”

Everyone pushed and shoved for a while, and finally pushed Uncle Cheng as a representative, Uncle Cheng wiped his tears and said: "Young master, how dare we be in your words, it is a blessing for all of us to meet the master of the young master and his wife, good people have good rewards, and good people like the young master and his wife will definitely live a long life." Everyone pushed me out, and I want to represent everyone, and thank you young master and madam. ”

Wei Yan patted Uncle Cheng's shoulder heartily, and said with a smile: "Then everyone thank each other!" The old year has passed, in the past year, we have worked together to make good results, next year, we will make persistent efforts to create better results for the family! Our slogan is, there is no best, only better! Dry! ”

"!"

Everyone raised their glasses excitedly and toasted. Wei Yan put down his wine glass and said, "In the past year, my wife and I are well aware of the achievements and contributions you have made. As a reward, the people of Weifu will always be rewarded for each person! ”

The crowd rejoiced again. After Wei Yan finished speaking, he thanked him: "Everyone has always been a reward for everyone, and there are several people who have made outstanding contributions to the Wei Mansion and need to make special rewards." ”

After speaking, Xie handed Wei Yan a look, Wei Yan understood, got up, took out the award certificate that had been prepared a long time ago, modeled on the style of the award certificate he had won in elementary school, and the copper coin sealed with red paper, and said: "After discussion, my wife and I decided to award awards to those who have made outstanding contributions to the Wei Mansion in the past year, and give both spiritual and material rewards. First of all. It's Uncle Cheng, the housekeeper! He's a lot older. He also worked hard and managed the Wei Mansion tightly and orderly, and handled the affairs of all sizes smoothly. My wife and I didn't understand anything, and we also gave guidance and made great contributions to the house, and this first special contribution award was awarded to Uncle Cheng! Uncle Cheng. Please come and claim your prize. ”

Uncle Cheng trembled with excitement, his face was full of redness, if it weren't for the fact that he had always been in good health and had no history of heart disease, Wei Yan suspected that he would have had a heart attack with excessive excitement. A certificate of merit, ten copper coins.

Uncle Cheng was so excited that he almost knelt down with his legs bent, but fortunately, Wei Yan was quick and grabbed him. Uncle Cheng cried: "Young master." My good young master, the old slave doesn't dare to be it, I do all this, it should be. How dare you take it

Young master, it is enough for you and your wife to praise you like this. What a certificate! ”

—

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle Cheng, don't get excited, listen to me." My wife and I have just returned to Datang, and it is not easy to set up a family business, only relying on the two of us who are not familiar with each other, and I don't know how many times we have to be laughed at, don't despise yourself, you are not us, you don't know how much you have helped us, this little reward, to be honest, is not worth your credit, this is just a representative of me and my wife to your affirmation and gratitude, please be sure to accept it! ”

Xie also said: "Uncle Cheng, in the future, the reward will form a system in the house, what everyone does, we all see it in our eyes, keep it in our hearts, every year, we will evaluate the people who have contributed to the year to give rewards, this year is the first time, I hope Uncle Cheng will set an example for everyone next, I hope you will continue to work hard next year, as long as you work hard, everyone can get this award." ”

After some persuasion by Wei Yan and Xie teamed up, Uncle Cheng accepted it, and his two sons came up to help him down, Uncle Cheng walked all the way, wiping his tears all the way, but he kept smiling on his face, and he was so happy. The two sons are also proud, proud, and honored.

Next, the people who received the certificate and bonus were carpenter Zhou Nianfu and his tailor's wife, Mr. Shen, the bookkeeper, the two tiger brothers, and Ms. Zhao Tianjin, the chef of the kitchen.

Several people were embarrassed to ask for medals, and they all said that it was within their duty to do the ground, so Wei Yan had to say another reason for the award. Carpenter tailor husband and wife, how many things the two of them made for the family, how much work they helped do, Wei Yan counted them out in the same way, Zhou Nianfu children's shoes is a simple and good comrade, he actually grabbed his head, and said with a simple smile: "It turns out that Xiaodi has made so many things, the young master doesn't say it, I really don't remember." ”

Wei Yan was amused and laughed, and asked, "You can win the award now, right?" ”

Zhou Nianfu and Wei Yan have been fighting for so long and thoughtfully, and they also understand a little about his temperament, and at the moment, they nodded and agreed, called his tailor wife together, and won the award certificate and bonus.

Mr. Shen, the account room, was also used by Wei Yan in the same way, counting a lot of things he had done, and only then did he take away the certificate and bonus. The two brothers of the big tiger and the two tigers were a little troublesome, and the two insisted that the two of them could take them in, let them eat well, dress warmly, and his majesty the emperor gave them a treasure knife, and they got the glory that many people could not get in their lifetimes, and they saw many big people who could not see others in their lives, and the lives of the two tigers were saved by Wei Yan, and the two of them were already very content, and everything they did, even if they lost their lives, they should be. No matter how Wei Yan and Xie persuade them, they don't want to.

In the end, Wei Yan was helpless and said angrily: "Take it!" The two of you are not too young, so you don't want to ask for a daughter-in-law and continue the incense? You must know that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. ”

As soon as Wei Yan said this, he was so angry, the two of them reluctantly accepted it, but their faces were still full of sadness, Wei Yan asked, and the big tiger said: "Young master, let's keep this money, we can't keep it in our hands, how much we give us, it's basically taken to drink and play, or ...... It's better for the young master to keep it for us! ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he was happy, it seemed that when he was single before, in addition to sending it home every month, he couldn't keep the money in his hand, it seems that every single man is about the same. He waved his hand and said: "In this way, I will let the account room help you save, and you two will save two-thirds of your monthly salary, and give you one-third to spend, so that when you get married, you can also have a little foundation, but don't be poor and white, you can't even afford a bed, then it's a shame!" ”

When he said this, everyone laughed. After the award, everyone sat down and started eating, Xie was pregnant and couldn't drink, so Wei Yan was the representative, and a table went to toast. Although human nature is complicated, most of these subordinates in the Wei Mansion are from poor families, simple, diligent, and on weekdays, Xie is very strict and fair, and everyone respects and fears her. Wei Yan is good, he is happy to everyone, two people, one loose, one tight, coupled with these very common management measures made today, in the future, the Wei Mansion will be more united, and the top and bottom will return to their hearts to create a harmonious family in the Tang Dynasty.

After eating, Xie went back to rest, Wei Yan and a group of people continued to set up wine, and they didn't drink much, just chatting about the mountains together and setting up the Longmen Array. Wei Yan remembers the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that has been despised countless times in modern times. Well, sometimes, I don't think it's good-looking; No, I still feel uncomfortable, and it's hard to pass the time.

Taking advantage of the wine, Wei Yan proposed to perform a program and hold a Spring Festival party, from modern times, for the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, how can there be no gala.

The first to be pushed up were the big tiger and the second tiger brothers, both of whom blushed and performed a set of boxing skills. Wei Yan took the lead in applauding, making the big tiger and the two tigers embarrassed, and his face was full of pride and pride, where was the shy and shy look just now.

For a while, all kinds of folk songs and minor tunes showed their unique skills, and gradually, the people in the house were attracted to come, and the mothers-in-law and aunts held the children, watching and laughing on the side. Even Xie turned around, with a faint smile in his eyebrows, and applauded.

Laughing, the big tiger and the two tigers were bold, jumping to sip Wei Yan to perform, where would there be any performance, before the crossing, the typical is an otaku, twisting his brows, thinking for a long time, howling a song "I am a wolf from the north", catchy novel tunes, simple and easy to remember lyrics, everyone listened to a burst of overwhelm.

In the end, after the feast was dispersed, each went home, and the men who came up with the drunken sense of drunkenness, playing drunken fists, stepping drunk, going home when they should go home, resting when they should rest, and from time to time wore a howl "I am a wolf from the north". Throughout the night, such howls came from the Wei Mansion from time to time.

Xie quipped: "Look, just because you sang a song, there are so many wolf howls in the house." ”

Wei Yan was not drunk, he leaned on the kang very proudly, and said with a smile: "This is called infectiousness!" Men's feelings, understand? Sister, hey, I can't talk to you girls. ”

Xie was not angry, and said with a smile: "I remember what you said, the loser has to promise the winner three things, I have to think about it before I say it." ”

Wei Yan was dumbfounded, when did he lose by himself?! Xie sneered: "Don't think about denying it, when you delivered your New Year's message, you said Mrs. several times, and I can't count it." ”

“…… It's not kind! How can it be counted at that time! ”

"Don't you say it? It seems that you didn't stipulate any conditions before the bet, right? ”

Wei Yan was speechless, entangled for a long time, reached out to hug Xie's fragrant shoulder, and said, "Xie, did you watch the Spring Festival Gala before?" Why don't we judge the most popular award tonight, and wait for the fifteenth day of the first month to present the award again! Xie was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Don't change the topic!" Don't pay off! ”
