Chapter 166: It's New Year!
The Spring Festival is finally here, this is the first year we have spent in the Tongzhou Club, classmates and parents gathered, and people and ghosts rejoiced together. It's a pity, because the affairs of Yancheng have not been dealt with, Gongsun Shu can't come back, the last time he contacted, he told me that with the help of Ding Yiming, Tan Daochang, and Master Wei, dozens of little ghosts have been co-opted.
Actually, I also know this, because he used a small amount of the power of the soul spell I distributed to subdue the little ghost, as long as he subdued one, I can feel it here. But in the same way, I also know that the ones he subdued were not very powerful, and most of them were like the ones he was summoned by Li Cunhao last time.
There are many people in the Tongzhou Society, and the cooks are busy in the New Year, and the parents who have good skills have also gone to help, not only have no complaints, but enjoy it.
This is the Chinese New Year!
Some of the shops have long been closed for the holidays, but there are still some that are open until five o'clock tonight, and the drinks were swept away by me, and a large area was piled up in the big restaurant of Tongzhou Club. Now that the economic conditions have also improved, we have also bought live chickens, live pigs and live fish, and are ready to slaughter them on the spot at night to cook.
Among the cooks were from the Northeast, and when they heard this, they were happy, and shouted: "I'm talking to you, I've got the real book four today, and I'll give you a taste of our pig vegetables. β
Well, that accent sounds so reliable! (thumbs up!)
I have to say that this master still really has two tricks, the most important ...... Strong physical strength, so many dishes, this trip, in addition to sweating on the face, there is no sense of tiredness, the dishes made are the largest number of dishes that night, there is no one, the MVP of the audience is right!
Baron took out the big red lantern he had bought before, and said that he would hang it at the door, and there was a large pile to hang it in the courtyard. I thought, this is great, the family used to be small, but now this big yard, you can hang it.
Balon took Shen Yun'er and a few little ghosts to hang lanterns, I looked at their figures, and thought to myself that it was Balon, he was an ancient person, and he went to the big courtyard to celebrate the Spring Festival, he was an old-timer, and this time he also did it for the lord, this decision is really too wise, worthy of me!
The restaurant is divided into two parts, which is not a ready-made thing, but it used to be like this, because the members of the Tongzhou Society can be roughly divided into two parts, one part is people and one part is ghosts. If you count the combatants, the number of ghosts is much more than that of humans, but with the addition of those parents, the number of ghosts is similar to, or even surpasses.
In this way, this restaurant will not waste half points, because the way ghosts eat is different from humans, except for ghosts. Ghosts rely on incense to eat, while humans eat directly, in general, in a word, after the ghost eats and drinks, things will not decrease, but they can no longer be eaten, and this is the reason for making offerings.
So, the restaurant is divided into two, one part is ghosts and one part is people. And people like Balon and Lang Feng have become ghosts, and they can physically return to their human appearance and eat like humans.
On our side, there are all kinds of dishes on the round table, there are many meats, few vegetarians, and the ones placed on each table are not the same, some tables are in the middle of a whole stuffy big pig's head, which is eaten with a small knife; in the middle of some tables is a big fish, which is braised and placed on a plate, and there are shredded green onions and ginger shreds on it; and some tables are a hot pot table, with a big mandarin duck hot pot in the middle, surrounded by meat slices and various other shabu-shabu.
And on the ghost's side, although the dishes are also very rich, there is no such thing as hot pot, and the ghost can't eat it. On the table, the dishes were set, there was an incense burner on it, and there was a yellow paper note on the stove, on which was written the name of each ghost, and in the hearth, there were three incense sticks.
A group of ghosts gathered around the table, sucking the essence of incense and food, and when they were finished, these things must be destroyed!
We are here, several masters are still bringing new dishes, at this time the door curtain was lifted, and the Northeast master came in again, carrying an iron pot, and shouted: "Come on, come on, the iron pot is stewed."
Here we are!"
Well, yes, it's a big goose.
I sat next to the hot pot table, Zeng Xiujie and Geng Xi were also there, waiting for the hot pot to open and eat the shabu.
I looked at the ingredients in the red oil pot in the mandarin duck pot and said: "This red is so suitable for the scene, and this hot pot itself is also suitable for the scene, round, reunion!"
"What the boss said is!" Li Cunhao came out of nowhere again, and directly patted his ass, and added: "And boss, look, how good this mandarin duck pot looks like, the two pots are next to each other, as if you and me, without you, there would be no me! Boss, you say, which one are you?"
I looked at him and said, "I'm Mala." β
"Yes! Spicy and good, prosperous, like you, the boss, stand on the top of the world sooner or later, big red......! I'm the consommΓ©. β
I looked at him and said calmly, "No, you're the spicy next door." β
Li Cunhao: "......"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the scene was very lively, but at this moment, a bad episode interjected untimely......
"Hey, don't break into it, grab him and blast him out!"
The noise was loud, and there was a commotion outside the restaurant, and there was a shouting sound, which disturbed the happy atmosphere. As we all know, at this time, people will have a very effective four-character mantra: "Great New Year." This shows that it is not good to quarrel at this time, but it turns out that there is a quarrel outside.
Everyone was a little unhappy for a while, but as the president, I naturally wanted to go out to have a look, and when I got to the hospital, I knew what was going on.
The courtyard gate is not facing the restaurant, but the restaurant is not far away, I went out and didn't walk a few steps to take a look, and found that a few people and a few little ghosts in the courtyard were surrounding a person, with anger on their faces, and Baron on the side also came with Shen Yun'er, and his expression was also solemn.
I understand why it is dignified, because the person who is surrounded is a beggar.
The New Year's Day is lively and happy, and a beggar is dirty and sick, and everyone will be unhappy. The beggar, dressed in a single coat, had patches on it, and there were holes in the places where there were no patches, and I don't know what color it used to be, but now it's black anyway. Wearing a torn hat, long hair came out from under the hat, full of oil and mud, a pair of torn cropped pants on the lower body, the trouser legs were a little torn, most of the calves were in the cold wind, and the feet were rag shoes, which were partially glued.
In his hand, he held a wooden stick in one hand and a small bowl in the other, and he was holding himself with his arms crossed to keep warm. Not far from his feet, a little black dog that looked equally dirty was lying on his stomach without energy, staring ahead with stunned eyes.
"Quick, get him out, who let him in?"
Someone shouted, and tried to catch him, but the beggar was like a loach, swaying left and right, and the man stretched out his hand several times, but did not catch him at all, but almost shook himself down.
"Look, I said I couldn't catch him. The other man said aggrievedly, it seems that he should have put this beggar in.
I looked at this beggar with some solemnity in my heart. Others avoid beggars, but I'm different, you know, at the beginning, it was because I kindly gave the mother-in-law who disguised herself as a beggar a piece of money, that I was brought out by the old boy of the national teacher, as well as my past life, the upgrade system, and now my cultivation path!
Now, having met a beggar again, and with extraordinary skills, I have an idea in my heart.
"You, come here. "I called the man who seemed to be letting the beggar in. "Tell me, what's going on. β
He told him that he was not going to hang a lantern just now, so he asked him to hang it at the gate, but when he went out to hang the lantern, he found such a thing outside the door. Tattered and muddy, and with a dirty dog, as soon as he saw him, he said that he would enjoy the food. As soon as he thought about it, he paid him a few dollars for the New Year, but the beggar took the money and went straight into the courtyard! The man tried to stop him, but he came in like a loach.
That's why I called someone to arrest him, saying that I was going to blast him out, so I'm here now.
I looked at the beggar, and now several people couldn't catch him, and Baron stood by with a serious face.
"What do you think?" I said to Baron mentally using the system's chat function.
"Not ordinary. Baron replied.
And so it was!
"Okay, don't catch it, it's the New Year, what's the trouble. "I'll have to use the four-word mantra too. "Let him be here, give him a small room in a moment, and give him some food. β
With that, I waved my hand to the men and walked over to the beggar, neither he nor the puppy had any intention of moving.
I leaned into his ear and said, "You're really not afraid of getting dirty, I'll give you a room, don't come out and make trouble." β
After that, I just turned around and left, and left the rest to Baron to arrange.
When I returned to the restaurant, they didn't know what was going on because they didn't go out, so they all started to ask me, I didn't say anything, I just said that there was a person with a personality who did his own thing, but some capable people wanted to take him in, and they didn't know what was going on, so they stopped asking.
Not long after, the dishes have been served, dumplings and so on at midnight, and then eat when the New Year comes, as the president, I sat at a table with Zeng Xiujie and a few other goods plus Hu Jie, Li Cunhao stood beside me like a servant, I said three times and asked him to sit and eat before he received his order, and a few tables around him were all relatives in the family, and his parents sat the closest.
"I haven't been to school for a long time, how is the school?" asked Zeng Xiujie and I at the dinner table, because they still had to go to school for a few days every other day.
"What can it be? It's still like that, the building that has been under construction has been built, but it has nothing to do with us, the service is all new, we are all sophomores, and in this semester, we will be juniors, and the things in the school are rarely related to us. Gao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said.
Because we are a junior college, there are only three years, and now the first semester of the sophomore year is over, and there is an internship period in the third year, which really has nothing to do with us.
"I heard that next semester, or next semester, the school is going to hold some activities to give us a farewell. Hu Jie ate the ribs and said suddenly.
"Really, who told you?" I wondered, would this school do anything like this? Not before. Also, you don't go to school either, how do you know?
"Gong Xiaoting and Feng Qian. Hu Jie said as a matter of course.
Oh - I forgot they were still in school.
Hu Jie looked at my expression and said disdainfully, "I knew you forgot about them." β
"Who said that? I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I hurriedly denied the three times first, and said: "But this is also a big deal, if you have a heart, we will all go and see it when the time comes." In other words, why is our session so special, and we still have to say goodbye?"
"It's not because of you. Hu Jie said again with a natural face, looking at me like a stupid beep.
β...... Me?" I was confused.
"That's right, you fought the Demon King in front of the whole school at that time, that appearance has long been remembered by the whole school, and later you can know which class it is, so you can't treat you well?"
"Yes, yes, yes, so are we!" Zeng Xiujie immediately answered. "When the teacher is in class, he simply takes you as an example, and we are also piggybacked, and when we go to class, we can do whatever we want in class, and the teacher doesn't care at all. β
"Take me as ...... Role model?" I was even more confused.
"Yes, every time someone is disobedient and doesn't learn well, the teacher says, if you can be like Guo Rui, so powerful, you can not come to school!"
β......β
Damn, co-author Lao Tzu is so famous. If you think about it, isn't it precisely because of why I only manage the same boat club and don't go to school now?
"Hey, is it okay not to go to class?" asked a parent who didn't know the truth on the table next to him. In their hearts, it is natural for children to go to school, get certificates, graduate, and find jobs.
"Of course it doesn't matter. I explained. "I go to school to learn something, to get a job, to earn money. However, now that we have a lot of money and can be self-sufficient and self-reliant, what else do we have to do? If we want to talk about cultural heritage, the first year of cultural classes is almost the same, and the second year is a professional course, and we don't need to worry about cultural heritage. If you want to say that you are looking for a job and contributing to society, we are now mages, fighting evil cultivators, and our contribution is no less than that of soldiers and soldiers. β
Well, it's simply a truth of life, except for ...... If I threaten a boss I didn't know before that he would have to give me money to spend on being self-reliant, then what I'm saying is all true.
"That ......" The parent obviously wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't speak, no way, I was too reasonable, I couldn't refute it at all.
"Won't that just sit and eat empty?" he finally asked reluctantly.
"No, as long as the company doesn't go bankrupt, it's no problem to raise so many people. I said with a smile.
But in fact, I don't have a score myself, Lin Qiang's company is indeed doing well now, but what if something happens? After all, we have more and more people now. In other words, how do other sects ensure their income?
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Oh, oops, this big mage organization doesn't even have its own business!"
I looked back, I went, didn't I tell him not to come out and make trouble?
