Chen Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed, she naturally knew it, but she was the nominal mother, what could she say

"He's young and ignorant, maybe it'll be fine in a few years," Chen Qiaoqiao had to persuade like this. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"I was afraid that Huifang would be difficult to do in the Chen family, so I didn't come to the door often, but I remember it very much in my heart" Xu Ziji said the entanglement in his heart, this is the difficulty of being a parent.

Chen Qiaoqiao didn't know how to answer, but when she saw the dumplings, she had an idea, "Look, in-laws, the children are pestering me to tell me about the origin of this dumpling, you can help, let's talk about it."

Now Xu Ziji was interested, and he chattered about it, but the children were interested, Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and smiled softly, just to give the children a long insight, otherwise, I really don't know what to say to Xu Ziji

In Chinese folklore, eating "dumplings" during the New Year is an irreplaceable feast for any delicacies from the mountains and seas. In the birthplace of Chinese ancestors, it has been passed down for thousands of years. "Dumplings", also known as "Jiaozi", is the meaning of the alternation of the old and the new, and it is also adhering to the meaning of the heavens, and it is a feast food that must be eaten, otherwise, the heavens will remove your name in the yin and yang world, and you will become a lonely ghost who is not registered after death. Think about it, how much our ancestors attached importance to this, no matter what, in order to get rid of the bad luck of the year, you also have to eat a "dumpling" on Chinese New Year's Eve.

According to folklore interpretation, "Chinese New Year's Eve" is a day when people, ghosts, and gods fight, so everyone must participate in order to obtain auspicious peace in the coming year. The ghost is the "night", and it is a powerful ghost born from the bad luck of the world for a year. "Eve" is on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the time when the old and the new alternate, it will come out and leave the world at this time, and it will take the concerted efforts of people and gods to get rid of it.

Every year on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the heavens will send the god "Nian" to the world to descend demons and eliminate ghosts, and "Nian" only has ninety percent of the power on Chinese New Year's Eve, proving that the powerful ghost "Xi" is very powerful, and it must be assisted by people to get rid of "Xi". Therefore, people should set fire together at the time of the "Chinese New Year's Eve" to help the "New Year" get rid of the "Eve" of the evil ghosts that harm the world.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people eat dumplings to increase their strength, and then, men, women, and children fire firecrackers in unison to help the gods get rid of powerful ghosts, and then religiously paste new portraits of King Zao, and offer dumplings-based food in front of the portraits of God of Wealth and King Zao, meaning that the coming year is safe and auspicious. This is the origin of the custom of "the sound of firecrackers to remove the old year". Legend has it that Zhang Zhongjing was too punctual in Changsha and often treated the people for diseases. One year, when the local plague was prevalent, he built a cauldron at the entrance of the yamen and sacrificed medicine to save people, which won the love of the people of Changsha. After Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown from Changsha, just in time for the winter solstice, he walked to the bank of the Baihe River in his hometown, and saw that many poor people were suffering from hunger and cold, and their ears were frozen. It turned out that typhoid fever was epidemic at that time, and many people died of the disease. He was very distressed and determined to save them. When Zhang Zhongjing returned home, there were a lot of people seeking medical treatment, and he was very busy, but he always remembered those poor people with frozen ears. He imitated the method in Changsha and asked his disciples to set up a medical shed and set up a cauldron on a vacant lot in Dongguan in Nanyang, and opened it on the day of the winter solstice to give medicine to the poor to treat their wounds.

Zhang Zhongjing's medicine is called "Jiao'er Soup", which is a summary of more than 300 years of clinical practice in the Han Dynasty, and its method is to boil mutton and some cold-dispelling herbs in a pot, and then take out these things and chop them up after cooking, wrap them into an ear-shaped "Jiao'er Soup" with dough, and distribute them to the patients begging for medicine after being cooked in the pot. Two delicate ears and a bowl of soup per person. After eating the soup, people have a fever all over their bodies, their blood is smooth, and their ears are warm. The common people ate from the winter solstice to Chinese New Year's Eve, resisted typhoid fever and cured frozen ears.

Everyone listened with relish, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen" Chen Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, this was not Xiao Yue'er's voice, "Mrs. Chen, we are here to pay New Year's greetings, don't you want to drive us away" Aunt Xue walked in.

This Aunt Xue is too enthusiastic, after all, they are not relatives, and they came on the first day of the Lunar New Year, isn't it a little abrupt

"Oh, I couldn't help but come to you for a long time, just looking for Mingmu, didn't you say you wanted to open a restaurant, I think in a few days, we'll open a tofu restaurant, okay, tofu can be made into meat dishes, can also be made into vegetarian dishes, and there are many characteristics, I have seen everywhere, this Kaifeng does not have a tofu restaurant."

Chen Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, it turned out that it was for this, "I am not in a hurry to open a store at this time, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year" Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't cry or laugh. "Isn't this called getting ready, renting the store as soon as possible, hiring people, decorating, and hiring a cook, all of which have to be planned in advance."

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little surprised, this Aunt Xue still has some talent for business

"However, your idea is not bad, the tofu restaurant is also a selling point, I am also very good at making tofu, you hire a cook, I teach some novel dishes, I am not afraid of unsuccessful success" Chen Qiaoqiao is still very confident in her cooking skills.

"Hahaha, that's great, I just like your cooking skills, don't you know that the elbow tofu and milk skin tofu you made at my wedding banquet are absolutely praised, and everyone is full of praise, I just remembered that I want to open a tofu restaurant, besides, it's just opposite your gallery, you can also take care of it"

Chen Qiaoqiao realized that she had fallen into Aunt Xue's trap, "You have already planned for your feelings"

"Don't worry, this store will give you three points of profit, you will guide and guide, and help when it is too late, you will not lose" Aunt Xue said temptingly.

Chen Qiaoqiao thought in her heart, spring is coming, and there is basically no need to worry about the affairs of the jujube garden, because there is the Yangzi family. The business of this art gallery is definitely not as good as in the second half of the year, no, there is no income during the New Year, and people's freshness is gradually dissipating. It's not bad to have an extra income, besides, the spring flowers and autumn flowers that I took in can also go to the tofu shop to help, to be honest, the pair of sisters Chen Qiaoqiao just took them in, in fact, the gallery doesn't need so many people at all.

"Okay, okay mother, have you discussed it, I want to eat dumplings" Xiao Yue'er screamed, Chen Qiao smiled narrowly: "You really have the ability, you can call your mother so soon"

Aunt Xue's face turned red, "Actually, Xiao Yue'er said that she doesn't remember what her mother looks like, she only remembers my appearance"

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, this little Yue'er was brought up by Aunt Xue since she was a child, but she is not her mother

Everyone wrapped the dumplings with all their hands, there were strange shapes or something, and Chen Qiaoqiao didn't dislike it, even that Xu Ziji also started, and it looked like it. A group of people ate dumplings lively, the most important thing was to make a fuss, and in order to grab the big money in the dumplings, they almost overturned the bowl.

A few days later, this Chen Qiaoqiao rented the store under the urging of Aunt Xue, because this Aunt Xue is an official wife, it is not easy to come forward, so it is all in the name of Chen Qiaoqiao, Chen Qiaoqiao found out. I only have three percent profits, it's really a shame that my painting gallery has to be opened, the preparation of this tofu museum is a big project, and it is still not enough for her to go into battle in person, so she wants to recruit workers.

Chen Qiaoqiao decided to be a little more distinctive, remembering that Song Zimo used beautiful men to make his money bank like a cloud, Chen Qiaoqiao also decided to find some young people with clear eyebrows, plus this spring flower and autumn flower sisters, they are also quite delicate, as soon as the guests walk in, they will feel very eye-catching.

As soon as Chen Qiaoqiao posted the advertisement for recruitment, many people flocked to it, and more and more people have come to the capital to beg for a living recently, and it is very important to find a job to make a living.

Chen Qiaoqiao likes this feeling the most, watching a large group of people pick and choose by themselves, how great it is, and he has already had a rule, so he recruits some young men over the age of 18 It seems that there are still enough candidates, and there are so many people who come to sign up that they are dying.

Chen Qiaoqiao leaned back in her chair for a long time, assessed these people one by one, and finally selected a few good ones to stay.

Seeing Song Zimo from afar, Chen Qiaoqiao was very surprised, I haven't seen him for more than ten days, this Song Zimo is finally willing to go back to Kaifeng However, it's not wrong to think about it, he always has to go home for the New Year. Song Zimo took a lot of effort to persuade his mother to quit his family, but he was also forced to agree that he must marry a wife this year.

Chen Qiaoqiao hurriedly called him over, why did he want to help It turns out that the most important thing in this restaurant is reputation, where does reputation come from, then the character of the person who has to do things must be good, so with Song Zimo's many years of experience as a boss, his judgment will definitely be better than his own.

"Song Zimo, you are finally willing to come back" Chen Qiaoqiao is a good attitude because she has a request for others

Song Zimo smiled bitterly, he came back on the day Chen Qiaoqiao returned to Beijing, but he was trapped at home, but he couldn't say it. If it is destined to have no result, he is still willing to get along with Chen Qiaoqiao so indifferently, which is better than the embarrassment in the future.

"Haha, I always have to come back for the New Year," Song Zimo said with a smile. "Come and help me, I want to find some small guys, there are too many candidates, and I really can't get an idea" Chen Qiaoqiao affectionately pulled Song Zimo into the tofu restaurant. "Let's try the tofu flowers I made first, this is my unique craft," Chen Qiaoqiao is quite confident. Among all the ingredients, she has a soft spot for tofu, which is not only nutritious, but also a beauty product, so she has a lot of experience in making tofu dishes.

The process of this tofu is extremely cumbersome, and it has to be made by soaking beans, grinding, filtering, boiling, spotting, dehydration and other processes. Chen Qiaoqiao is concentrated, Song Zimo saw her so serious, and even more thought she was cute and moving.
