Before I knew it, the Chinese New Year's Eve would arrive.
Taking advantage of the time difference of twelve hours between the two time and space, Li Anran first had a Chinese New Year's Eve with Hu Jing and Wei Yuanyuan in modern time and space.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner started, Li Anran also took the two to his grandfather's bedroom and served three pillars of incense to the other party who had already gone immortal. At the same time, some of the various dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were served in small bowls and placed on the table, hoping that the grandfather, who had truly "soared", could enjoy the food of his grandson in another world.
After the incense, Li Anran and the three of them went to the courtyard to set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and then returned to the table where a table of delicacies had been set up, in order to welcome the arrival of the new year, they feasted and staggered their cups.
The only thing that made Li Anran and them a little dissatisfied was that as an indispensable Spring Festival Gala for the New Year in the past, it was getting worse and worse. After seeing half of the three of them, they went to a famous local station.
The dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve is naturally impossible, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea, although considering that there are not many preparations for the New Year for three people, but the variety is very complete.
The flying dragon soup, which is said to be "dragon meat in the sky", is full of heat and extremely delicious. The palm of the right palm of the fattest black bear and the natural wild honeycomb honey dish are so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.
As for seafood. The big black abalone from the deep sea is not eligible for the table, but uses a dried abalone that is said to have long been extinct. This top-notch ingredient, which money can't buy, is said to have been sponsored by a brother-in-law with a mysterious origin.
Lobster, king crab, bluefin tuna, steak meat, lamb chops and other relatively "ordinary" ingredients are also the best products that have been improved after time travel.
In addition, even the local assorted dishes in Nanjing are also made of the best ingredients. And the value of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is enough to make those ordinary upper-class people with good family backgrounds can only envy and hate. No way, a lot of things can't be bought with money.
After eating this Chinese New Year's Eve meal that was enough to bankrupt many families. Li Anran and the three of them made a dough and a mixture of fillings. I started to make the most common and meaningful food during the Chinese New Year, dumplings.
Not long after the dumplings began to be wrapped, a little guy from the village came to the door to greet the New Year.
This custom of New Year's greetings has been around for a long time. It's not to beg for money. It's purely a local custom.
Li Anran, who has been prepared for a long time. After the little ones kowtow and say auspicious words, they will hand over the sealed red envelopes and touch those little heads by the way. Back to a few auspicious words such as good health, growing up quickly, academic progress, and so on.
It is said that the little guy only needs to kowtow to Li Anran a few times, after all, they are familiar with each other. As a result, the little guy is smart, and he knows that he can have more pocket money when the New Year is over at the end of the year. As soon as I saw that there were still people in the room, I didn't care whether I knew them or not, and then I bowed to the new year.
For the thoughts of these little guys, Hu Jing is not unable to see it. However, the Chinese New Year is a festive picture. Watching so many little guys give themselves New Year's greetings, the money is also quite neat.
But Wei Yuanyuan on the side was a little embarrassed, after all, when she had just sealed the red envelopes, she could see it very clearly, and those bags were full of big red tickets with a hundred yuan. In just that moment, the two of them each gave away more than 1,000 yuan.
Don't look at the money, but don't forget, it's in the country. And these little guys have nothing to do with Li Anran and Hu Jing, plus there are a lot of such little guys who come to visit the New Year, according to local customs, a red envelope is generally enough to seal ten or twenty yuan. Of course, if you have a good relationship, you will have to give it when the whole family comes to the door later.
To say that after taking care of someone's house, Wei Yuanyuan's salary is indeed not small, even higher than that of ordinary white clothes. But basically it was all spent on his mother's body, if it was just a red envelope of ten yuan and twenty yuan, it would be okay, but with the "pearl jade" of one hundred yuan in front, such a small red envelope was really a little unreachable.
Li Anran, who was standing on the side, could easily see the embarrassment of the other party, so after the little ones kowtowed, he handed over his red envelope without waiting for Wei Yuanyuan to make a move.
Wei Yuanyuan, who instinctively wanted to refuse, was stopped by someone's eyes before she could speak. As for the first little guy who asked for the other party's home, no matter who gave the red envelope, he flashed when he took it.
Regarding someone's behavior, Hu Jing on the side stepped forward very understandingly, patted Wei Yuanyuan's hand and said that there was no need to suggest.
After the little ones came to visit the New Year, calm regained in the Li family's compound. However, at the turn of the old year and the new year, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang out in a joyful atmosphere at the same time, accompanied by the sound of New Year's bells ringing on TV.
After midnight and eating a bowl of dumplings for the festival, Hu Jing and Wei Yuanyuan, who couldn't hold it anymore, returned to the bedroom to rest, while Li Anran left a note after the two fell asleep and then traveled to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty.
"Young master, you're finally back." After watching someone come out of the retreat room, Su Xiaomei, who had been waiting outside since waking up, hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"There are some things up there that have been delayed, how about it, everything is okay at home?" Li Anran, who pinched the other party's nose, said with a smile.
"With Steward Wang and Yun'er here, what can be wrong." Su Xiaomei, who wrinkled her nose, said with a smile.
Li Anran, who knew that the two of them had put a lot of effort into this New Year's event, immediately smiled, took each other's hands and walked outside.
Zhilu said that those villagers all went back to their respective homes tonight to celebrate the reunion, and Li Anran had no intention of delaying other people's time. After meeting with Steward Wang, it didn't take long for the entire villa to gather on the vacant land outside the manor.
Sitting on the temporary high platform, looking at the few familiar faces below, Li Anran knew that he should say something at this time. But for a while, I didn't know how to open this mouth.
Considering that Xiaoyao Villa is just its starting point, after weighing it for a while, I simply omitted the part of the speech and directly started the year-end bonus distribution ceremony.
In the past, when harvesting sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops, all of them were put into the warehouse of the mountain villa, but each household also distributed some per capita for tasting. In Li Anran's view, if you can't even eat the food you grow, it will be really boring to the extreme.
Because a hierarchy system was made in advance, coupled with Wang Youde and Xiangyun, two people, with a group of tents, summarized the work and contributions of the villagers during this period of time in advance, so the year-end bonus distribution ceremony was quickly carried out in an orderly manner.
As the highest level and the most contributing banker, he will be personally awarded a year-end reward by Li Anran, the owner of the bank. In addition to strings of shiny copper coins, this reward also includes fish, meat, shrimp, eggs, grains, fruits and vegetables, fabrics, kitchen utensils, etc., covering all aspects of the daily life of every household.
As the owner of the village, Li Anran naturally can't really give every thing to the hands of the villagers. Instead, they were only responsible for handing out copper coins, and the rest of the things were delivered to the dealers in the form of bills.
These bills, which are distinguished according to different classifications, are specially ordered by Li Anran in modern time and space. It is somewhat similar to the food stamps of later generations, but the material is not paper, but plastic cards that are often used in school cafeterias.
Although the workmanship of this thing is not exquisite, the advantage is that it is not afraid of being forged in the Datang time and space. Moreover, this kind of plastic bill is not easy to be torn, even if it is not small to get wet in water or even soaked in water, there is no need to worry about soaking it out. In addition, the eyelets are laid in advance, and only a rope needs to be strung together, and it is not easy to lose unless it is too careless.
With these bills of various denominations, the bankers were able to withdraw the corresponding items from the manor's public warehouse. If you don't need it for the time being, you can still store it in the warehouse, and you can pay with your ticket at any time when you need it. Even if you feel that you can't use some things for the time being, you can exchange or trade them within the villa. (To be continued......)
