Chapter 416: Mid-Autumn Festival
"That's also your good deed for the benefit of the people, no matter what the reason is to build the road, everyone can walk after the road is repaired, this is a great merit!" Shang Chuyao really likes Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng more and more.
There is a difference between a profiteer and a good businessman.
The former can make people bankrupt and scolded by thousands of people, and the latter can make people soar and be admired by thousands of people.
She was right.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a national holiday, whether it is a factory or a company, the whole people are closed.
The transport convoy and the picking troops in Xiaojia Village are naturally no exception.
During this time, the seasonal fruits were picked and sold, so that the villagers made a lot of small fortunes.
Mooncakes, which used to be too expensive to buy, can now be bought by every household, and together with their own fresh fruits, they have become a delicious gift for the reunion festival.
Grandpa and grandma knew that Bai Lu had brought her friends back, and they were very happy, so they were busy letting Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying kill chickens and fish, Zhang Luo had good meals and good dishes, and gave Bai Lu and her friends enough to eat, so that they had the strength to go up the mountain to pick fruits.
For the first time, Shang Chuyao felt the simple and kind enthusiasm from strangers, and he was happy and a little restrained.
Fortunately, Bai Lu has been serving her vegetables, and she can taste the dishes from afar that she is embarrassed to pick.
"You're welcome, eat more, Grandma is right, only when you are full will you have the strength to go up the mountain to pick fruits."
Grandpa and grandma also echoed with kind laughter.
"The little girl can eat whatever she likes, and when she comes, she will treat it as her own home, and she doesn't have to be shy."
"You and Lulu are classmates, and you study hard, eat more to replenish your body."
Li Hongying, Xiao Guofu and other family members warmly beckoned Shang Chuyao to eat more.
But no one served Shang Chuyao with vegetables, and they knew that not everyone liked to be picked up by strangers.
It is enough to have a white dew clip.
Li Si has been silently being a little transparent, and when he got off the car from Bailu Shang Chuyao, he silently carried the mooncakes bought by Bailu and went to send them to his grandfather and grandmother, Xiao Guofu and his wife.
After eating silently together, we went up the mountain with Bai Lu, Shang Chuyao and Xiao Guofu, picking fruits, enjoying the scenery, and trying to pick chestnuts to test their ripeness.
Finally, carrying large bags and small bags of snakeskin bags of fruits back to the car, under the eyes of grandparents, grandmothers and others, they carried Bailu Shang Chuyao and a cart full of fruits back to Xinzhen.
There is a barbecue party in the new town in the evening.
When Bai Lu asked her grandfather and grandmother, Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying's wishes, several of them said that they would not go, and they wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home and worship the moonlight with their families at night.
The same is true of the wishes of the other villagers.
Xiao Wei's little friend Sanwazi is the same.
The custom here, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is the roundest and brightest, people will set up a large incense table in the courtyard of the house, and put moon cakes, fruits, rice and other offerings.
Worship the moonlight and worship the moon god.
Pray for good weather and abundant harvests.
Pray for peace, health and happiness for your family.
If you have relatives who are away from home, I also hope that the moon god will bless your relatives who are far away and everything will be well.
Every year there is today, and every year there is a present day.
After Bai Lu declined the invitation of her grandfather and grandmother to worship the moon, she went home and prepared to worship the moon with Xiao Cheng.
Of course, there are also Xiao Wei, Grandpa Hu, Shang Chuyao, everyone worship together.
Li Si has also gone back to make an appointment with Zhang San, and the two families worship the moon together, after all, they have the same mother.
After worshipping the moon, eating moon cakes, and then going to the riverside to gather and barbecue.
"Yaoyao, help me take out the lighter on the table, and I'll order a candle."
"Okay."
Shang Chuyao had just finished going to the toilet, and when he came out after washing his hands, he heard Bai Lu's words and immediately went to the main house.
Bo City also has the custom of worshiping the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the reason why Shang Chuyao did not go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival was also told to Bai Lu.
Since her parents don't want her to grow into a greenhouse flower, then she will grow into a wildflower.
The fifteenth moon, round and bright, shone brightly, sprinkled on the high table in the center of the courtyard.
The large incense case has been filled with offerings by Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, apples, grapefruits, moon cakes, candles and incense containers, and it is a bamboo tube filled with rice.
Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu are looking for firecrackers.
I didn't know where to put it before I moved.
After a long carpet search, she finally found it, and after taking it out, Bai Lu also received the lighter that Shang Chuyao took out, she lit candles, and Xiao Cheng lit incense.
Under the full moon, five figures, men, women and children, each holding three incense sticks, are facing the moon in the sky.
Just as he was about to worship the moon, a burst of excited footsteps came from outside the gate of the courtyard that had not been closed.
"Sister-in-law! I'm coming~"
"Surprised, surprised, stabbed...... Hey, what game are you guys playing? Xiao Cheng, why are you taking three sticks of incense to worship me? I'm still alive! â
Li Jianfeng was stunned at the door with a grand gift, to be precise, he was shocked by Xiao Cheng's worship ceremony.
One foot has stepped into the door, the other ...... was accidentally knocked into the door by Wu Youyi from behind.
also explained in a low voice while colliding: "Worship the moon!" As I told you before, you have to worship the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. â
Li Jianfeng finally suddenly realized: "I see, Xiao Cheng worships the moon instead of me, how can I feel a little pity."
Wu You: "You can shut up, and Brother Cheng will turn his face against you."
I didn't see that people's faces were getting more and more gloomy!
Bai Lu tugged at Xiao Cheng's sleeve: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't worry about a guy who has been celebrating the holidays alone since he was a child, it's the first time, it's like this."
Xiao Cheng's cold eyes narrowed slightly, retracted his gaze and said lightly: "The barbecue is held by the river."
"You're driving me away?"
Li Jianfeng decisively rushed into the courtyard, threw down the gift, picked up the remaining incense on the table by himself, and learned from Xiao Cheng Bailu to divide three and light it.
"I'm going to worship the moon too!"
Xiao Wei was squeezed away, and Bai Lu immediately took him to his side and placed him between her and Shang Chuyao.
Li Jianfeng seemed to be still dissatisfied with the position next to Xiao Cheng, and wanted to squeeze between Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.
Wu Youzhen was worried that the boss would be thrown out by Xiao Cheng, so he stood silently under the wall and waited for the result.
Fortunately, Xiao Cheng just looked at him with a brutal cold eye: "If you don't worship, get out."
"Bye-bye!"
The madman will eventually be ruled by the evil dragon.
After worshipping the moon, inserting incense, the personnel dispersed, Xiao Cheng lit the firecrackers and threw them over-
"Ahh Xiao Cheng, you don't talk about martial arts! âĻâĻâ
The crisp and pleasant sound of firecrackers and the melodious sound of panicked escape sounded at the same time.
Fried-hairy figures fled all over the courtyard.
Although, in fact, firecrackers will not chase him.
Wu You decisively stopped the person: "Brother Feng, firecrackers won't chase people."
Li Jianfeng: "......"
"Why didn't you say it earlier, my mace! I'm going to give Xiao Cheng a little color! â
Wu You: "You said that the mace is a shameful thing, and you are not allowed to bring it."
"Why don't I remember saying that?"
"You said it after you hit the dragon pillar."
Li Jianfeng: "......"
"Ah Feng, come and eat moon cakes, see what flavor you like, and try them all."
Bai Lu held a moon cake and beckoned lightly, her smile was kind and gentle, brighter than the bright moon overhead.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Jianfeng seems to have been hit in a corner of his heart, and a strange temperature came in and ran around.
"I want to eat five-kernel mooncakes!"
The owner of the mooncake factory said that the five-kernel mooncake is the most delicious.
Li Jianfeng asked for a car to come over to give gifts.
When a cart of five-kernel mooncakes was moved into the yard by Wu You, everyone was stunned.
Except for Xiao Cheng and Grandpa Hu.
Xiao Cheng frowned, his eyes were like a sword, and he surrounded and suppressed Li Jianfeng, who was eating five-kernel moon cakes.
I don't know if Bai Luche's moon cakes are too delicious or too delicious, Li Jianfeng was full of excitement when he ate it, and he didn't feel the blow of being encircled and suppressed at all.
The more you eat, the more you eat.
Grandpa Hu looked at the two of them who had been angry for many years and had not changed for many years, so he smiled and didn't speak.
Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao glanced at each other.
"Are five-kernel mooncakes really that delicious?" Why don't they like to eat very much?
Xiao Wei didn't like it either: "The cantaloupe flavor is delicious, and the other flavors are also delicious, but why did he buy a whole car full of five-kernel mooncakes, did he buy them for himself?"
Bai Lu looked at the young man with a long bag on his forehead who was eating five-kernel mooncakes with relish: "Maybe yes."
"Then why did he put it in our house?" Xiao Wei asked if he didn't understand.
Bai Lu said: "Maybe it's saved for barbecue."
Xiao Wei's eyes widened: "Can mooncakes also be baked?"
Bai Lu: "It should work."
Not should, but quite fine.
When Li Jianfeng heard Bai Lu's cordial, friendly, and special care for him, he proposed to barbecue five-kernel mooncakes, without hesitation, and slapped the table to agree.
And let Wu You, who moved half of the mooncakes, move the remaining half of the five-kernel mooncakes to the riverside.
Since the last time, Xiao Cheng set a precedent for Bai Lu's barbecue party, and Mayor Yang Qingsong felt that this activity was very good, which could not only bring the neighbors closer to each other, but also maintain the harmonious atmosphere in the town for a long time.
The next day, it was decided that every festival and New Year, the town would hold a collective event of a barbecue party.
The current tentative location, Riverside, was unanimously decided after a multi-person vote.
Many people were already present at this time.
Luo Liu, Xiao Dazhuang, Wang Hao, Chen Chunli, Wang Cuihua, Yu Xiaoling, Yu Dongxu, Zhang San, Li Si, Yang Sisi, Chen Dafu...... Most of the neighbors, neighbors, Xiao family members in the town, men, women and children came.
Everyone is preparing to eat, drink, moon cakes, fruits, barbecue ingredients, and there are special people in the paste hole lantern.
A long barbecue grill down the river has been erected.
The tall bamboo poles hang large lanterns, and the bright moon in the sky, set off each other, a little silver and white light illuminates the Guijiang River, and the rippling blue surface of the lake ripples.
The fish playfully flicked their tails, waved the river rain curtain that opened like a fan, and sprinkled and fell.
"Bang!"
The waterfall splashes on the surface of the river.
Li Jianfeng's face was full of excitement, and he copied it down, and when he fished it up, he didn't even have a single fish scale.
Xiao Wei smiled: "The big fish and the small fish have all run away!"
Wu You also smiled: "Actually, there is a small shrimp in your pocket, which is enough to stuff your teeth."
Li Jianfeng got angry, lit a fire, and threw a torpedo in front of Wu You Xiaowei with his backhand...... of the river.
Everything happened too fast, and when Wu You and Xiao Wei, who were standing by the river, reacted and wanted to retreat, they were already "bang!" With a bang, a huge waterfall rained down.
One big and one small became a soup chicken.
The waterfall drenched from head to toe, and the whole body, including the hair, was soaked and dripping.
"Hahahahaha~" Li Jianfeng laughed unscrupulously: "Hahahahaha
Wu You: "......"
Xiao Wei: "......"
The sister-in-law said that it was not her fault that she would fight back.
The open black plastic bag by the river quickly reached in a small hand and pulled out a torpedo.
The lighter clicked, and the fire flashed across the river.
"Bang!"
The waterfall flies up and down again.
Li Jianfeng became a soup chicken.
He also wanted to fight back again, but the culprit's one big and one small soup chicken had already run away.
Wu You returned to the truck loaded with mooncakes to change clothes.
Xiao Wei went home to change clothes.
When I came over again, one big and one small subconsciously ignored the "bang" sound of the riverside and went to barbecue.
The long barbecue grill, one person was arranged with a "Brother Feng's gift" - five-kernel mooncakes.
It's okay to eat it raw, grilled, the only one, you can't throw it away and waste it, otherwise it's a torpedo to serve.
The neighbors had to swallow their kindness, whether it was delicious or not...... It really doesn't matter.
On the left of Bai Lu is Xiao Cheng, on the right is Shang Chuyao, and the three of them are grilling shrimp, grilling chicken wings, and baking moon cakes.
As soon as Xiao Wei, who had semi-dry and wet hair, appeared, he was pulled over by Bai Lu with one hand: "Didn't you go to see Li Jianfeng fried fish?" How do you get your hair wet? â
"Standing too close and getting splashed." Xiao Wei stared at the golden buttery grilled chicken wings on the barbecue.
Bai Lu smiled when he saw this, didn't think much about it, and let him sit next to him: "Don't get so close in the future."
"Your brother Feng has a strange mind, and he always likes to do something different from others."
Xiao Wei obediently answered "yes", and was carried out from the middle position by Xiao Cheng in an instant.
"Either go to the opposite side or go to the side."
Luo Sixteen, who was on the other side, raised the big crab to welcome: "Xiaowei, come on, my brother will roast the big crab for you."
Shang Chuyao next to him also smiled at the two small pear vortices to welcome: "I have chicken wings, fragrant~"
Xiao Wei's choice was wise.
took a string of chicken wings from Shang Chuyao, thanked him seriously, and sat next to Luo Sixteen with chicken wings.
Wait for him to grill the crab.
Shang Chuyao praised her cuteness and cleverness.
"Your shrimp are almost scorched, you need to flip them over." Xiao Dazhuang sat opposite Shang Chuyao, and when he saw her shrimp changing color, he opened his mouth to remind her.
Shang Chuyao turned it over and saw that the red shrimp shell was about to turn burnt, but fortunately she turned it over in time.
"Thank you."
Xiao Dazhuang: "You're welcome."
Shang Chuyao saw him pick out the snail meat with a toothpick, skewer it into a skewer and put it on the barbecue grill to roast, the first time he saw it, he felt novel.
"Is your roasted snail meat delicious?"
"It's delicious." Xiao Dazhuang gave a real evaluation: "Remove the tail of the snail meat and sprinkle some cumin chili powder, the taste is very fragrant and delicious, not fishy at all."
Shang Chuyao's eyes burst out with a small light of interest, and a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that she wanted to eat roast snail meat.
Xiao Dazhuang also saw it, so he asked, "Do you want to eat roast snail meat?"
Shang Chuyao thought that he would give it to her directly, but this question made her a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and responded, "Hmm." â
Xiao Dazhuang turned over the snail meat that was still roasting in front of him, and truthfully told Shang Chuyao: "It's not cooked yet."
"It's going to be baked a little longer."
As soon as she heard this answer, Shang Chuyao naturally thought that Xiao Dazhuang would give her food after roasting it.
Bai Lu said that Xiao Dazhuang is Xiao Cheng's brother, and his own people are very good to his own people.
As a result, people directly gave her a string of new snail meat.
"I just skewered it, you bake it first and try it, and I'll give you another skewer if it's delicious."
Shang Chuyao: "......"
Indeed, it's good for your own people.
Good enough for you to do it yourself, and have plenty of food and clothing.
Bai Lu ate Xiao Cheng's grilled shrimp skewers, watched it straight, and whispered next to Xiao Cheng's ear: "Da Zhuang, this child, haven't you been in contact with girls before?"
