Before you know it, New Year's Eve is here.
Taking advantage of the twelve-hour time difference between the two time and spaces, Li Anran first spent a New Year's Eve with Hu Jing and Wei Yuanyuan in the modern time and space. Although it was not a lively one, it was definitely not deserted.
After the New Year's Eve dinner started, Li Anran took the two of them to his grandfather's bedroom and offered three sticks of incense to the deceased. At the same time, he also served all the New Year's Eve dishes in small bowls.
Some were placed on the altar table, hoping that the grandfather who had truly "ascended" could enjoy the food cooked by his grandson in another world.
After offering incense, Li Anran and the other three went to the yard to set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and then returned to the dining table where a table of delicacies had been laid out. In order to welcome the arrival of the new year, they feasted and mingled with each other.
.
The only thing that made Li Anran and the others a little dissatisfied was that the Spring Festival Gala, which was an indispensable part of the Chinese New Year in the past, was getting worse and worse. As a result, the three of them transferred to a famous local station after watching only half of it.
Naturally, it is impossible to make do with the New Year’s Eve dinner. There are things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, and things that swim in the sea. Although considering that there are only three people celebrating the New Year, the quantity prepared is not too much, but the variety is not overwhelming.
Feilong soup, which is said to be "dragon meat in the sky", is full of heat and extremely delicious. Made with the fattest black bear right paw and natural wild honeycomb honey, it is so delicious that it almost makes people eat their tongues.
Swallow it.
As for seafood, the big black abalone from the deep sea is not eligible for the banquet. Instead, a dried abalone that is said to be extinct is used. This top-quality ingredient that even the rich cannot buy is said to be sponsored by the mysterious brother-in-law.
of.
Lobster, king crab, bluefin tuna, steak, lamb chops and other relatively "ordinary" ingredients are all top-quality products that have been improved after time travel. If you take them out, they will definitely be top-notch.
The chef is willing to cook a table of delicious food himself.
In addition, even Nanjing's very distinctive assorted dishes are made from the best ingredients. The value of this New Year's Eve dinner is enough to make the average upper-class people from a good family can only envy and hate it. No
There are many things that cannot be bought with money.
After eating this New Year's Eve dinner, which was enough to make many families go bankrupt, Li Anran and the three of them kneaded the noodles and mixed the stuffing. They began to make the most common and meaningful food during the New Year,
dumpling.
Not long after I started making dumplings, some kids from the village came to visit me to pay New Year greetings.
This habit of paying New Year greetings has been around for a long time. It is not just for asking for New Year's money. It is purely a local custom.
Li Anran has been prepared for a long time. After the little ones kowtow and say auspicious words, he will hand over the sealed red envelopes and touch the little heads. He will reply with a few words such as good health and grow up quickly.
, auspicious words such as academic progress and so on.
Normally, 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 knows that he can get an extra pocket money during the Chinese New Year at the end of the year. When he saw that there was someone else in the room, he
No matter whether they know each other or not, they will then say New Year's greetings.
It's not that Hu Jing can't see the thoughts of these little guys. However, the purpose of celebrating the New Year is to celebrate. Seeing so many little guys paying New Year's greetings to her, she can spend the money quite easily.
But Wei Yuanyuan on the side was a little embarrassed. After all, when she sealed the red envelopes, she could clearly see that those bags were filled with big red tickets worth a hundred yuan. In just a moment, the two of them gave them away separately.
It cost more than a thousand yuan.
Although the money is not much, don't forget that this is in the countryside. Moreover, these little guys have nothing to do with Li Anran and Hu Jing. In addition, the number of these little guys who come to visit us for New Year greetings is also small.
Not much. According to local custom, a red envelope with ten or twenty yuan sealed is usually enough. Of course, if you have a good relationship, you will have to give another one when the whole family comes to visit later.
After getting a job as a housekeeper for someone, Wei Yuanyuan's salary is indeed not small, even higher than that of ordinary white clothes. But it is basically spent on her mother. If she only pays ten yuan or twenty,
The red envelope is okay, but with the one hundred yuan "jewel" in front of me, such a small red envelope is really hard to get.
Li Anran, who was standing aside, could easily see the other party's embarrassment, so after the little guys finished kowtowing, he handed over his red envelope without waiting for Wei Yuanyuan to make any move.
Wei Yuanyuan, who instinctively wanted to refuse, was stopped by someone's eyes before she could open her mouth. As for the first little guy who asked for a home, he didn't care who gave him the red envelope, he just took it and walked away.
Regarding someone's behavior, Hu Jing on the side stepped forward very understandingly and patted Wei Yuanyuan's hand to express that she did not need to suggest it.
After all the little ones who came to pay New Year greetings came and circled around, the Li family courtyard returned to calm. However, at the moment when the old year and the new year alternated, with the New Year's bell ringing on the TV
, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang continuously in the joyful atmosphere.
After midnight and eating a bowl of dumplings to celebrate the festival, Hu Jing and Wei Yuanyuan, who couldn't hold it any longer, returned to the bedroom to rest. After the two fell asleep, Li Anran left a note and traveled to the time of the Tang Dynasty.
.
"Master, you are finally back." Su Xiaomei, who had been waiting outside after seeing someone come out of the retreat room, hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Some things above have been delayed, how about it, everything is fine at home?" Li Anran pinched the other party's nose and said with a smile.
"With Butler Wang and Yun'er here, what can happen?" Su Xiaomei wrinkled her nose and said with a smile.
Li Anran, who knew that these two people had put a lot of effort into this New Year celebration, immediately laughed, held each other's hands and walked outside.
Knowing that all the bankers were going back to their homes to celebrate the New Year tonight, Li Anran had no intention of wasting their time. After meeting with Butler Wang, within a short time, all the bankers in the villa gathered together.
On the specially cleared open space outside the manor.
Sitting on the temporary high platform, looking at the few familiar faces below, Li Anran knew what he should say at this time. But for a moment, he didn't know how to open this sentence.
mouth.
Considering that Xiaoyao Villa was just my starting point, after weighing it for a while, I simply skipped the speech part and started the year-end bonus distribution ceremony directly.
When sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops were harvested in the past, although they were all put into the villa's warehouse, each household also put some on a head for tasting purposes. In Li Anran's view, the food grown by oneself is
If you can't even feed yourself, it would be extremely boring.
Since a hierarchical system was established in advance, and Wang Youde and Xiangyun, together with a group of accountants, summarized the work and contributions of the bankers during this period, the year-end bonus distribution ceremony was
It soon got underway in an orderly manner.
As the banker with the highest level and greatest contribution, he will be personally awarded a year-end reward by the bank owner Li Anran. In addition to strings of shiny copper coins, this reward also includes fish, meat, shrimp, eggs, grain, and fruits.
Vegetables, fabrics, kitchen utensils, etc. cover all aspects necessary for every household's daily life.
As the owner of the bank, Li Anran naturally cannot really distribute everything to the bankers every time. Instead, he is only responsible for distributing copper coins, and other things are delivered to the bankers in the form of bills.
These bills, which are classified according to different categories, were specially made by Li Anran in modern time and space. They are somewhat similar to the food stamps of later generations. However, the material is not paper but plastic cards often used in school cafeterias.
Although the workmanship of this thing is not exquisite, the advantage is that in the time of the Tang Dynasty, there was no fear of being forged. Moreover, this kind of plastic bill is not easy to be torn, even if it is accidentally stained with water or even soaked in water
, and you don’t have to worry about it soaking and rotting. In addition, the holes have been drilled in advance, and you only need to get a rope to string them together, so it is not easy to lose unless you are too careless.
With these various bills of different denominations, bankers can withdraw the corresponding things from the public warehouse of the manor. If they are not used temporarily, they can be stored in the warehouse, and they can pay with the bills at any time when they are needed.
