Chapter 525 New Year’s call (please vote!)
Jiang Feng squatted in the corner of the yard, finished the pancakes, put the plate back in the kitchen, and then carried the dumplings into the living room. When he put the plates back in the kitchen, the two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian were no longer in the kitchen. The clean iron pot on the stove proved the sisters' ability to wash pots.
There was no one in the living room, and phone greetings could be faintly heard coming from various rooms. Generally speaking, the hour after breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is when everyone in the Jiang family calls to say New Year greetings. This event, which symbolizes the best blessings in the world for adults, is currently only participated by Jiang Zaide among the younger generation, and the others generally Sending a Happy New Year on QQ or WeChat counts as a blessing.
Jiang Feng sat in the living room with some warm dumplings and ate them silently. When he was eating the last one, he saw Jiang Zaide walking out of the room wearing pajamas with a stubborn face on his face and making a phone call.
"Yueru, did you read the new plan I sent you yesterday? Check to see if there is anything that needs to be changed. If there are any problems, tell me. Construction will start when you return after the new year. The last few days have been So we can finalize the plan.”
"Why is this hard work? We are busy during the Chinese New Year. It only takes a few hours to find the time to change your plan. It doesn't take any time."
"You want to change the pipe again, right? No problem, I'll get a new one for you in the next two days..."
"Okay, I'm going to have breakfast now. I won't tell you any more. By the way, Happy New Year. If you have time when you get back, don't forget to take me to that roast duck restaurant you mentioned."
"Don't worry, I'm free. I'm here to talk about work." Jiang Zaide hung up the phone.
Jiang Feng, who had just swallowed the last bite of dumplings:...
Brother De, do you still remember how you cursed Party A’s father for asking you to constantly change your plan during the Chinese New Year last year?
"Brother, are there any dumplings in the pot?" Jiang Zaide asked.
"There are still about three or four bowls left," Jiang Feng said, handing the bowl to Jiang Zaide, "Brother De, help me take the bowl to the kitchen. I feel like I don't have enough clothes today and I have to go back home and put on more clothes. ”
This winter seems to be colder than previous years.
"Who else hasn't gotten up yet?"
"Brother Cheng doesn't seem to be up yet."
After learning the news about the enemy, Jiang Zaide hurried to the kitchen with Jiang Feng's leftover empty bowl.
Jiang Feng returned to the room and rummaged through the suitcase for a thin sweater. Just as he was hesitating between two sweaters, one black and one gray, his phone suddenly rang.
At first glance, it was an unfamiliar number from Guangdong Province.
Jiang Feng pressed the answer button.
"Master, Happy New Year!" Ji Xia's cheerful voice, which was enough to deafen Jiang Feng's ears, came from the mobile phone.
"Xia Xia, lower your voice." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Master, guess whose mobile phone I am calling you now?" Ji Xia lowered his voice.
"Your mother-in-law's?" Jiang Feng guessed.
"It's mine. My mother-in-law just gave it to me. She even got me a phone card!"
"Master, let me tell you, my mother-in-law was very happy when I brought those things home. My mother-in-law said that the snacks in Peking are very delicious. She ate a lot of Saqima while watching the Spring Festival Gala last night. I will give them to my mother-in-law when I go home during the Chinese New Year next year. Buy more things! Sister Huihui told me that there are vacuum-packed roast ducks now. Master, do you know where to buy vacuum-packed roast duck? I will buy vacuum-packed roast duck for my mother-in-law when I go home next year.”
"Oh, by the way, also, I made pork ribs noodles for my mother-in-law last night. I stretched the noodles and the pork ribs soup cooked by my sister, my mother-in-law said it was delicious. I will make it for you, Master, when I get back."
"And there's more..."
Ji Xia chattered a lot, just like the birds chirping on the branches early in the morning. His voice was full of joy, and he was obviously really happy.
"Has Xia Xia had breakfast?" Jiang Feng waited for Ji Xia to finish what she wanted to say before speaking.
"Eat, what I ate just now, I ate fuyuan, made by my mother-in-law."
"Fuyuan?" This is the first time Jiang Feng has heard of this thing.
"It's a pancake-like thing fried with rice noodles and shredded radish. Our family eats this on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year every year." Ji Xia explained, "Master, what did you eat in the morning?"
"I just had mutton dumplings and pancakes."
"Wow, I want to eat mutton dumplings too. I haven't eaten mutton dumplings yet." Ji Xia made an envious voice, "Okay, master, I won't tell you anymore. I have to call Sister Wu to say New Year greetings! Bye. .”
"Bye." Jiang Feng hung up the phone. He thought a black sweater looked good and planned to wear a black sweater.
Just as he was getting dressed, Jiang Feng's cell phone rang again. This time it was Wu Minqi.
Jiang Feng decisively pressed the answer button and spoke first: "Hey, Qiqi, I was just about to call you. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Wu Minqi said, "Did Xia Xia just call you to wish you a happy New Year?"
"I called a few minutes ago. If Xia Xia hadn't called me to wish me New Year's greetings, I wouldn't have thought of calling others to wish me New Year's greetings." Jiang Feng said, "Qiqi, how have you been these two days? Are you busy?"
"Fortunately, I'm used to this every year during the Chinese New Year. I'm combing my hair now and getting ready to go to the store later." Wu Minqi said.
"Is your Wu's Restaurant closed throughout the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Feng asked.
"We won't be closed, but we will be working in shifts. There will be a lot fewer people working in the kitchen starting from the first grade of junior high school. In fact, the customer flow is bigger during the New Year's Eve, and other times are fine." Wu Minqi explained, "I won't say anymore. , I’m getting ready to go out, Fengfeng, if I remember correctly, you’re going to pay New Year’s greetings today, right?”
"Today and tomorrow we will go to each house in the village to say a few auspicious words. We have been visiting relatives since the third day of the lunar new year to pay New Year greetings." Jiang Feng said, "Be careful on the road."
The call ends.
Ji Xia's New Year's call seemed to be the beginning. After ending the call with Wu Minqi, Jiang Feng received several New Year's calls one after another, all from the kitchen staff. Later, even Ji Yue, who had already sent a happy New Year on WeChat early in the morning, made a special New Year's call, obviously inspired by Ji Xia.
One phone call after another, Jiang Feng didn't forget to make a New Year's call to Professor Li to wish him a happy New Year. Jiang Feng just kept sitting on the bed and answering the phone, forgetting the time.
The last call was from Zhou Shi. Jiang Feng had lost contact with Zhou Shi since the annual meeting. Zhou Shi didn't post much on his WeChat Moments on weekdays, so Jiang Feng didn't even have a chance to like his WeChat Moments.
"Happy New Year, little boss." Zhou Shi said.
"I can't bear to call you a little boss after you resigned. Happy New Year." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Aren't you used to being called "little boss"? If you call him something else, you'll feel a little uncomfortable." Zhou Shi smiled, his voice sounded much lighter than before. It was obvious that he was in a good mood recently and his tone of voice became lighter. .
"It sounds like you've been doing well recently. Is everything going well? How are the preparations for the private restaurant going?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Thanks to you, everything is going well, and the decoration is almost completed. It is estimated that we can open smoothly after the new year. During this time, my mother has been asking people to calculate the days, and she must calculate an auspicious day." Zhou Shi said.
"Just counting the days? Didn't you arrange a blind date?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's been arranged, but they don't like me." Zhou Shi was a little helpless, "My mother is so proud that the woman didn't like me on the first blind date and she was so angry that she said that the restaurant hadn't opened yet and she didn't have the confidence to go on a blind date. Arrange a blind date for me when the business is booming.”
"That's good. If the blind date really doesn't go well, come to Peiping. I'll treat you to some sugar water and I'll make sure your blind date goes smoothly," Jiang Feng said.
Zhou Shi:?
Zhou Shi laughed twice and thought Jiang Feng was joking: "Okay, if my blind date doesn't go well, I'll have to rely on your sugar water."
Jiang Feng was about to say something else when he heard Jiang Juanlian calling him from outside: "Brother, please hurry up. Grandma is getting impatient."
"No more, I have something to do here and others are rushing me, so hang up first." Jiang Feng hung up the phone and walked out of the room.
Seeing Jiang Feng finally come out, Grandma Jiang hurriedly carried the dumplings and was about to go out. She didn't forget to complain: "You kid, what are you doing in the room? I made an agreement with Li Cuihua at 9 this morning. I’ll go to her house. It’s almost 9:10, and she will definitely laugh at me for being so old and forgetting the time.”
"Grandma, don't worry. Don't you still have dumplings on your hand? Grandma Li will definitely not laugh at you. I will make glutinous rice lotus root for you when you come back later. I just watched the tutorial online and thought about it for a while. I have made the first one. Here you go!" Jiang Feng comforted.
"Glutinous rice lotus root?" Grandma Jiang's expression suddenly softened, "Put more sugar. I know this dish will taste better if you add more brown sugar. Remember not to pour out the sugar water after cooking, as it will be a waste."

"Also, put two less firewood in when cooking. The glutinous rice lotus root will take a long time to cook, so you put in too much waste firewood." (End of Chapter)
