New Year's Special Chapter 9
When Xiao Ming came back, the first thing that caught his eye was the dense crowd of people surrounding the Li Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some people sipped tea and talked quietly, some people sipped melon seeds, listening to a handsome man boast about his glorious past of suppressing hundreds of thousands of troops with a roar, and some people laughed loudly, not causing a bigger commotion.
Ten minutes ago, there were definitely not so many people here!!
Xiao Ming took Xiao Hanshan and hurried to the house, the strange thing was that the crowd seemed to be crowded, but when he walked forward, he felt that it was still very spacious, and everyone left a large gap for him to walk by.
He didn't have time to think more, rushed into the house, only to see that the inside was in full swing and began to move, a large number of tea and melon seeds were sent outside, the previous guests were holding a big pallet, put a lot of things, hurriedly walked out, one of the girls Xiao Ming had not seen, she was wearing a black and white maid outfit, holding three large trays with one hand, and the other hand still had spare strength to grasp a large bag of melon seeds, but she looked busy, but her face was always reluctant, The pink double ponytail was listlessly attached to his ear, and the north he had been looking for carried a black and white bear doll in his arms. He poked her ass with a stick in his hand and urged, "Hurry up and get to work, shield!" β
"Hey, hey, let's go, let's go......."
Xiao Ming carefully avoided it, and couldn't wait to walk into the kitchen, only to see Li's father and mother and the long-bearded man with a red hat busy cooking, and they were in full swing.
"Mom, why are there so many people outside?"
Mother Li's voice was also dissatisfied: "It's not the one named Zhang Yide, after drinking some wine, he can't stop the door, and when he meets someone, he pulls him home and says to invite him to dinner, you see, now there are too many people to count!" β
"Nineteen hundred and eighty-five."
Xiao Hanshan said in a low voice, and then shook his head when he saw three or four cauldrons boiling at the same time: "If you want to feast those people outside, these foods are far from enough. β
When Mother Li heard this, her hands were also a little slower, she felt that the situation was beyond the scope of small things, it was a rare big thing, and it should be borne by Father Li, so she asked Father Li next to her.
"Lao Li, what should I do now?"
Father Li gave her a blank look.
"What can I do, if I don't want our neighbors to hold a grudge against us, we have to almost start this banquet."
Father Li instructed Xiao Ming: "Xiao Ming, it's still that hotel, you go and ask, can you get a hundred tables of dishes, so that you can barely squeeze it." β
"A hundred tables?"
Xiao Ming frowned and said, "Dad, a table costs at least a few hundred yuan, and a hundred tables is tens of thousands, I don't think it's worth it." β
Father Li shook his head and said: "Whether it is out of our intention or not, the news has been released, so for the sake of reputation, even if you grit your teeth, you have to continue to do it; Besides, tens of thousands of dollars are not a big deal. β
Xiao Ming pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go." β
After deciding on it, he no longer hesitated, whispered to Xiao Hanshan, and hurriedly ran out, this time the list was too big, and he couldn't say it clearly on the phone.
Xiao Ming rushed out of the crowd again, turned left and right to a hotel, after entering the lobby, he told the front desk neatly that there was a hundred tables of business they wanted to do, the front desk quickly picked up the internal phone and said a few words, just ask him to wait for a while, the boss immediately came out to talk to him personally.
In a few moments, a tall old man walked briskly, he looked very old, his eyelids drooped, his eyes were drooping, his eyes were very tired, his head was bare, only the top of his head was braided, his eyebrows were extremely long, and he was very mentally stretched outward, he had a white goatee on his chin, and he was wearing a simple robe that had been washed white.
"Hello, are you going to order a hundred tables of food right now?"
His voice was low, revealing a sense of decay.
"Yes. Sir, can you do that? β
Xiao Ming asked a little nervously.
Fortunately, the old man nodded and said, "No problem. β
Then there was doubt; "But why are there so many dishes at this time?"
Xiao Ming smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's a misunderstanding, but now I have to make a mistake." β
"Oh, what the hell is going on?"
"I originally invited guests, but I didn't expect a guest to drink too much and go to the street to pull people around, and now it has spread ten or ten hundreds, and a lot of people have gathered in front of my house, and now I don't know what to do, so I can only order wine and food first."
The old man nodded noncommittally and asked, "How many people are there, my hotel is basically empty now, there are many vacant seats, if you bring those people here to eat, the price will be much cheaper than transporting them over." β
"Close to two thousand."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows moved, and he said, "It seems that I still need to find a friend to borrow a table and chair........"
After that, the two quickly discussed everything, and Xiao Ming paid 30% as a deposit first, and agreed to pay it off for the last time.
When he returned, he had an extra business card for the old man in his hand.
Isaac. Nitro.
A foreigner?
Not long after Xiao Ming went back, the hotel even sent the food with tables and chairs, and the old man also prepared drinks and drinks very intimately, and the five tables were sent in one go, which greatly alleviated the embarrassment of Li Zhai.
Xiao Ming was also able to be lazy, found Kaguya and chatted with her for a while, and then had to go out with his parents again to have a few drinks with the guests, he took a glass of white wine, raised it when he met someone and then put it to his mouth and poured it, the corners of his mouth were slightly dipped in the wine and he looked like he was about to faint, and he turned around, and a glass of wine was not half drunk.
There were a lot of guests outside, dragons and snakes were mixed, and Father Li ordered the guests who came first to eat a small stove in the house early, so as to prevent the ladies from being taken advantage of by the chaotic crowd, Xiao Ming shook two circles and quietly came in.
Except for Zhang Yide, who didn't know where the waves were, they all sat at the same table with everyone.
In the cafΓ© duo, Ji Ning looked a little tired, and Kuriyama Mikuro, who looked weak, still looked like he still had spare strength, his chopsticks were clamped quickly, and all kinds of delicacies were quickly destroyed in the sound of swishing.
A middle-aged woman Xiao Ming had never seen sat next to Li's mother, she had a very loud voice, although she was a woman, she had the pride of not losing a man, just a moment after Xiao Ming came in, I saw her drink two glasses of liquor!
Kaguya reserved a seat for Xiao Ming, and when he saw him coming, he waved to him with a smile.
"Coming here so soon?"
"Well, it's easier to mix in with a lot of people, I turned around, drank some wine and came over, anyway, Zhang Yide was blowing hard in the middle of the crowd, but I didn't need to warm up."
Xiao Ming sat down, and the middle-aged woman said to him, "Hey, boy, can you hear my voice?" β
Xiao Ming also felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "Are you, Kaguya's aunt?" β
"That's right! I didn't expect to go through so many chapters, do you still remember me? β
"How can you forget, you are Kaguya's aunt, and you will be a family in the future."
When she heard Aunt Kaguya, her eyes were a little subtle, she glanced at Kaguya quietly and quickly, and saw that she didn't seem to be too dissatisfied, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, haha." β
Mother Li stood up at this time and said, "Well, thank you all today, if you don't come, I don't know how long I will be busy outside!" β
As soon as the words fell, I saw the big ears stand up with a look of shame, and said: "Madame is really ashamed that I waited, if it weren't for the third brother drinking, where would I cause such a big trouble to your mansion." β
His words were earnest, and his tone was naturally filled with guilt and uneasiness, and it made people think that he was a loyal man.
The green-clothed girl next to her also quickly got up, her face flushed.
"My father is in trouble, but my daughter didn't have time to stop it, I'm really ashamed!"
Then, she said very solemnly: "If there is an order, Xingcai will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!" β
This is a bit serious, Mother Li hurriedly waved her hand and said: "You girl, how can you talk old-fashioned, your father really did something wrong, and I won't pretend to say that it's okay, but this is nothing more than a little troublesome, where do you need to go to the soup or something?" Come on, come on, sit down, big ears, sit down, let's not stand, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. β
"Ahem, my name is Liu Xuande."
Mother Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and asked Father Li: "This name sounds familiar, is it the one who conquered the other world?" Will you still sing like snow? β
Father Li glanced at her and snorted coldly: "That's Liu Zhenzhen!" Liu Bei, the word Xuande, the emperor of Shu of the Three Kingdoms! β
As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "Zhang Yide, Liu Xuande...... Speaking of which, the one next to you won't be called Guan Yunchang, right? β
The long-bearded man nodded reservedly and said, "Yes, it is Guan Yu!" β
Father Li was puzzled: "Why do you want to take these names, one is okay, isn't it awkward for three to get together?" β
Liu Xuande was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The name given by my parents can't be changed, right?" This unfortunate one in my family also gave him a name, called Liu Gonghei. β
When Father Li heard this, he suddenly said, "Isn't this Adou's name?" Brother Xuande, why did you choose this name? β
Liu Xuande smiled, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"When my wife died for this child, I thought, which wife of Uncle Liu Huang in history also gave up the opportunity to live for the sake of the child, I thought of my name at that time, I had a fatalistic feeling, so I named him Liu Chan, but also to remind myself not to make old mistakes again."
The young man named Liu Gonghei smiled and said nothing, and when he saw that Guan Yunchang's cup was empty, he went to pour a full bottle of wine very diligently.
Seeing this, Father Li hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "It's my fault to mention these things on this day, and I will punish myself with a glass." β
With that, take a full drink.
Liu Xuande also toasted him embarrassedly, and after coming and going, a table began to be lively.
It wasn't long before there was a commotion outside.
"There's the police!"
"What's going on?"
"Hold the grass!"
Xiao Ming hurriedly went out of the room, only to see a few more people in police uniforms on the periphery of the crowd, and two familiar people not far away, one wearing glasses, expressionless, and one short, leaning closely against the man with glasses.
"Chu Xuan, and Fengzi?"
Xiao Ming squeezed through the crowd, came to the two of them, and asked, "What's going on?" β
Chu Xuan lifted his glasses and said, "Didn't you call the police?" It was said that a child was lost, so not only was the police on duty dispatched, but the police chief also came, and I happened to meet it, so I came together to see the situation. β
Xiao Ming then remembered, and hurriedly ran to a policeman and told the matter as it was, the policeman looked a little dissatisfied, but at the same time he was relieved.
"Since there's nothing to do, then I'll ask the director for instructions and close the team."
After saying that, he ran off to the road, and there was a police car parked on the side of the road, and he said something in front of the door, and after a while, two more acquaintances came over.
"Director Xiao? Do you still care about this piece? β
"I'm not a film policeman, I'm in charge of the affairs of the whole city, so naturally I'm in charge here."
When he saw the crowd, he tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with some surprise, "What's going on here?" β
"As you can see, our family just spends money to invite everyone to dinner."
Director Xiao took a deep look at him and beckoned to him, and when Xiao Ming got closer, he heard him gritting his teeth.
"You kid, next time you encounter something, if it is solved, you must remember to call back, I was having dinner with your sister-in-law before!"
The depth of his resentment when he spoke was obviously not as simple as being disturbed from eating.
Xiao Ming looked at him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"No, why don't you bring everyone over for a little bit? Everyone was lively and lively together. β
Director Xiao saw the wine bottles on the dinner table, and his throat twitched, but he still shook his head and said, "No, I'd better go first, I haven't eaten the food at home yet." β
Xiao Ming nodded knowingly and said goodbye: "Then, Brother Xiao, I will wish you a happy New Year!" β
"Well, I would like to borrow your auspicious words and wish you a happy new year."
"Walk slowly."
After a short time, the police car carried the policemen away, and he looked at the position where Chu Xuan was standing before, and sure enough, there was no shadow.
He walked into the crowd, explained the matter in general, calmed the hearts of the guests, and went back quickly.
At the dinner table, Fengzi smiled and gave Chu Xuan vegetables, even if Chu Xuan's rice bowl was full of vegetables, he was happy to put it up, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
Chu Xuan also accepted everyone's glances without changing his face, chewing the dishes in large gulps, and occasionally whispering to deal with the wind.
After Chu Xuan and Fengzi sat down, they couldn't squeeze in anymore, and Kaguya was holding a bowl in one hand, which was full of dishes that Xiao Ming loved to eat.
"Oh, don't say I won't leave you food."
Xiao Ming hurriedly followed and took Kaguya into the kitchen, where several people who were not served were eating.
As soon as he came in, he heard Cao Mengde cautiously asking about Enoshima Shield.
"Little girl, are you married?"
"Hmph, people are still single, aren't they very exciting?"
Enoshima Shield replied weakly, and then saw Cao Mengde sigh, and his gaze at her became boring.
"Alas, why don't girls like to marry now?"
Cao Mengde sighed softly, sat on the small bench, and continued to eat his peanuts.
I didn't understand what he meant, I was so desperate......
Then the voice of the north is heard.
"Shield, open your mouth."
"Eminem."
Enoshima shield chews and swallows.
"Alas, it's still normal food, there is neither adulteration nor poison, except for the chemical raw materials that all foods in the Celestial Empire have, there is no poison at all, it's really desperate."
Saying this, Enoshima Dunko still puffed out his cheeks and ate meatballs.
Although it is a desperate thing to die of starvation in a kitchen full of food, the thought of the poisonous meatballs that I have been looking forward to is not destined to be even more desperate.
Origami looked at the north gently and fed the Enoshima shield like a pet, and felt a little relieved.
This kid has grown up.
Xiao Ming didn't see any of them, so he found a bench and handed it to Kaguya, and he also found a place to sit down, and put a fish ball in the bowl and put it in Kaguya's mouth.
"Come, open your mouth."
"Eminem."
Time slipped away quickly in everyone's laughter, and soon it was eleven o'clock, and the people outside were also scattered, and the food in the hotel was not bad, at least it was not said that the hospitality was poor.
Seeing that everyone had no intention of being sleepy, Li's father proposed to observe the New Year together, and obtained unanimous consent, so the group walked out of the house, cleaned up the two messy tables, and waited for the arrival of the New Year with melon seeds.
At around half past eleven, Director Xiao, who had left, went and returned, with handcuffs around his waist.
"Director Xiao, why are you here?"
Xiao Ming asked.
"After I patrolled once, I decided to go to a place with a big safety hazard and feel more at ease."
Director Xiao nodded slightly at everyone, and then began to scan the guests who had not yet left, his eyes were burning, and he had the meaning of spying on the prisoners.
"That, Brother Xiao, you went to find a place with big safety risks, how did you find us?"
Although I understand that Director Xiao is a good person, a policeman in front of the door on Chinese New Year's Eve does look a little panicked.
The corners of Director Xiao's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he pointed to the drunken guests and said, "Is there a place now that has a greater safety hazard than you, a place with hundreds of drunks?" β
Xiao Ming coughed low and stopped squeaking.
Fortunately, until it was close to midnight, these drunks were just chatting and farting, and after drinking too much, they consciously rolled under the table, and after a while, they snored like thunder and fell asleep.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, time has finally come to the last three seconds of 2026, and I don't know who started shouting.
"I'm going to get rich in the new year!"
When Xiao Ming heard this, he also shouted: "More people wear women's clothes!" β
Liu Xuande also shouted: "The world is peaceful!" β
"More offal!" byGuan Yunchang.
"Stable life 1" Youji Ning also shouted.
"Endless salted fish!"
The North added in his heart.
Together with origami.
"Let me get off the list!"
The unknown man shouted.
"More presence!"
Kuriyama Miku shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Greater desperation!"
Enoshima shield.
"A safe family!"
Father Lee.
"I want to travel all over the country!"
Mother Li.

The wind that whispered.
"Find more affection."
Chu Xuan holding glasses.
"Stop drinking, father!"
by Zhang Xingcai.
"Stop cutting offal, I want to vomit when I think of offal now....."
Guan Yinping covering his face.
"Don't call me Adou."
Liu Gonghei.
In the end, it seemed that only Cao Mengde didn't say anything, everyone looked at him, and he had to reluctantly say: "Don't dig Cao Cao's tomb anymore......"
Then, everyone shouted to the sky: "Happy New Year!! β
