Chapter 393 New Year's Eve, or Daming Day
The island country used to celebrate two New Years, and the time schedule was not much different from that of the Chinese country. It was only in modern times that it gradually changed to focus on the new years. .
Perhaps because the two countries are adjacent, the cultural customs will inevitably be similar, or as the times develop, the entire Asian country has similar preparations for the New Year's Eve.
Zeshan family is no exception. Before New Year's Eve, a large number of New Year greetings were printed. This is a kind of thing like greeting cards, used to deliver it to relatives and friends who cannot meet in the distance. The way to greet the holidays is very old-fashioned.
But even in the current island country, this custom of sending letters has been retained, which is probably related to the fact that their post office industry has not abandoned too much. In short, Haruno Zeshan Under the ruthless order of Ako Zeshan, she was forced to write all the New Year greetings.
You should know that there were nearly forty letters, and they were just sent to relatives in the Osaka area. After writing, his hands were cramped so much that they could not add them. Fortunately, Miyazawa Mana felt sorry for him and secretly imitated his handwriting to help share some of it.
In fact, it’s not that other girls cannot help, but their handwriting is too delicate and it is easy to see clues. Haruno Zeshan is worried that after they leave in a few days, curious relatives will come to the door. As a result, it would be bad if you lose it, so it would be better not to show it for the time being.
In addition to the New Year greetings, the island country also has decorations such as mirror cakes - this is a pair of round rice cakes, which symbolizes harvest and prosperity. Whenever the Chinese New Year is over, the island people will Keep it in the most conspicuous position in your home.
In addition to preparing mirror cakes, we also have to prepare straw ropes and pine branches hanging on the lintel, which means to block filth and misfortune from the door. Somehow, when I was young, Haruno Zeshan always looked at it. When my mother woven a large section of grass with a straw rope and a pine branch, she always remembers the kind of mugwort she hung in her previous life.
I think it has been influenced by culture, and many places can be seen as the shadow of Chinese culture.
Of course, if you want to talk about these things, the most exciting thing during the Chinese New Year must be missing.
Ah, here it's here
Haro Sawayama noticed that Naoha Ezaki was the first to come down from the upper floor after taking a shower. It seemed that she wanted to come to the kitchen early to help. Don’t come back after showering, you will go in later!
"Natural Leaf!"
Ako Zeshan sat on the sofa, as if she was checking her son's New Year's greetings, but in fact she was all focused on her upstairs.
At the moment she finally saw a girl coming down, her eyes suddenly lit up and she hurriedly called the other party over.
"Huh? Auntie, what's wrong."
Ezaki Naoha was about to go to the kitchen to continue to help cook, but after hearing what Ako Sawayama said, she stopped again and forced herself to do so. .
She looked at Haruno Zeshan in confusion, as if she didn't understand why the other party was still sitting here. Is it really okay to have uncle alone in the kitchen now?
".I'm going to help."
Haruno Zeshan shrugged. He had already guessed what his mother was going to do. After all, his pockets were so bulging that anyone could guess.
But then again, although I received something like "Nianyu" when I was a child, the number was only two or three thousand. Ah, my mother would definitely be partial.
Haruno Sawayama felt both funny and helpless, but he didn't think much about it, moving his somewhat stiff body, and then he prepared to go into the kitchen to help his old father.
He also has several skills that can improve his cooking skills. It would be a waste if he really watched from the side. It seems that he hasn't made this year's Yujie cuisine yet? Since that's the case, let's try it yourself.
The island country's Imperial Festival cuisine is also a very important thing, but Haruno Sawayama is sure to have both.
In the living room, seeing Haruno Sawayama leaving, Naoha Ezaki hesitated for a moment and chose to sit on the sofa.
Ako Zeshan immediately seized the opportunity and leaned over, saying with a kind look on her face: "Naoye, I actually wanted to talk to you alone before, but you also know that Haruno has been running around forever. Run, there was no chance."
"That's right."
Ezaki Naoha blinked. She really didn't have much chat with Ako Sawayama in private. Pass.
The two met a few times, and most of the time, because Haruno Sawayama had other things or other arrangements, the meeting was left unresolved. However, the aunt mentioned this now What does one thing mean?
"You and Haruno have lived together for a long time, right?"
"It's been a long time, probably around October last year, right?"
"Is October?"
"Is October?" br>Ako Sawayama was shocked. The relationship was longer than she thought. By the way, Makita hadn't been dating Haruno for long, right?
No, no, the relationship between my daughter-in-law is really a bit confusing. It is better not to care about these things, and get to the point quickly!
"Since you have lived for a long time, has Naoha never thought about going further?" Ako Sawayama paused and added, "I'm not saying whether you are dating Haruno or not, I mean, like Shin-ku Ki so."
"Like Maki?"
Ezaki Naoha's face slowly turned red.
It is not easy to make her, a calm and speak frankly, become shy, and the reason why she becomes like this now is because she understands Ako Zeshan's words. I want to cooperate with the twin granddaughter is not enough to satisfy the old man, and I have to
"I, I haven't thought so much yet."
Naoha Ezaki's eyes were a little dodged, and she whispered: "Because when I go to college next year, I may have to participate in many kendo competitions, which is a condition for admission, so."
This is actually She had discussed it with Haruno Sawayama a long time ago, and even the other party offered to take more safety measures to avoid Ezaki Naoha being unfortunately "into the attack".
Other girls may be fine, but after all, Naoha Ezaki often participates in that kind of very intense sports competition, so it is naturally impossible for this reason to drag her down.
Even if there is enough gap during the game, it will not work, and it will take a long time to recover. The missed training time during the period will cause her level to decline again.
So no matter how you look at it, Naoha Ezaki is the one who is the least suitable for having children among the people. It would be better to say that except for the most carefree Miyazawa Maki, everyone else has different experiences, except for the most carefree Miyazawa Maki. All kinds of big problems.
"Is this how?"
After listening to what Ezaki Naoha said, Ako Sawayama showed a look of regret.
But she is not a person who doesn't understand human feelings. After knowing the reasons, she will of course choose to understand and support the other party, so she took out the New Year red envelope she prepared early in the morning. "This is for you."
She put the New Year's money, or "Nian Yu", in an envelope.
However, the amount of the bulging bag is surprising enough. Even if you don’t need to start, you can probably feel it. It must be more than 100,000 yen.
Seyama's family, including Haruno Zeyama, are actually not short of money, but they are not short of money. It is completely different from how much red envelope money can be received from their elders during the Chinese New Year, even though they have lived in a wealthy family since childhood. It was the first time that Ezaki Naoha had seen such a "huge" red envelope.
Normal, if you can only endure a few thousand yen, almost no one will give it so much. After all, it is just a mental process.
It seems that I could see Naoha Ezaki's entanglement. Ako Sawayama stuffed the envelope into Naoha Ezaki without saying anything, and comforted him, "Please accept it, I have already given one to Mana just now ”
“Okay then.”
Upon hearing this, Naoye Ezaki had to take the red envelope.
Ako Sawayama naturally has a fair principle when dealing with her daughter-in-law. As early as when Miyazawa Mana helped Sawayama Haruno write a New Year congratulations, she had secretly stuffed a red envelope in advance. Give it to the other party.
Of course, the amount is the same.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
After pulling Nao Ezaki and chatting for a few more words, Ako Sawayama reluctantly put the other party into the kitchen to help, while she was about to take out the buckwheat and rub noodles on the spot.
Today is not only New Year's Eve, but also called Dahui Day. Simply put, it is the last day of the year. The custom of this day is that the whole family has to gather together to eat soba noodles.
Of course, soba noodles are one of the daily foods for most islanders. No matter what kind of festival it is, it has never been seen. Akako Zeshan is familiar with it.
As for the three busy people in the kitchen, it was precisely after Nao Ye Ezaki went in, Haruno's father was very politely invited out to rest.
Nao Ezaki takes over the handling of tonight's cooking, while Haruno Sawayama is preparing the Imperial Festival cuisine. This is for the preparation tomorrow, and it doesn't matter at all. He doesn't need to finish it all. Just keep it until the level of half processing tomorrow.
The so-called Yujie cuisine is composed of cherry dishes, mouth-taking, roasted items, boiled items and vinegar items.
The macaque is a salty snack that can be enjoyed with wine. This kind of steps is the best solution. After all, you only need to place the purchased ingredients step by step.
The mouth-taking means appetizers. Most people's appetizers are fish cakes or spring rolls, but considering that Ayano Wei was clamoring for what beef tongue sashimi or something like before. The thing, Haruno Sawayama was soft-hearted and decided to satisfy the other person here.
It is not necessary to use cold dishes like sashimi as appetizers. Anyway, appetizers mean very little portions and not enough to eat. The sashimi dish is perfectly in line with this requirement. Is there any explanation for this? Very down-to-earth?
Haro Shibayama was amused by his thoughts.
He shook his head and casually said to Nao Yeh, Ezaki who was beside him: "How is it going upstairs? Why are they delaying for a long time but not getting down?"
"It seems like I'm playing Monopoly game. After I came out of the shower, I saw that they were still gathering together to play." Ezaki Naoha said without raising her head. "I'm playing games again?"
Haruno Sawayama paused for a moment, and a bad premonition immediately emerged in his heart.
It's not that Miyazawa Maki or Ayano Wei took the lead in playing again. I always feel that no good things happen every time they encourage others to play games.
What impressed the most was that it seemed that Naoha Ezaki ran to the convenience store downstairs to buy a lot of "balloons".
In addition to this, I was even more embarrassed to talk about the memories.
I don't know how Shiori will be bullied by them. I hope that Mana can help her see her after taking a shower.
"Don't worry."
Ezaki Naoharamoto As I was cutting vegetables, a faint smile appeared on my face. "The master should be fine. Although I was reluctant to be caught in it, I wanted me to take the opportunity to pull her out, but it seems that I have not suffered any impolite punishment yet, so I ignored her Request. ”
"Is it really okay? Maki and Wei are here."
Haro Sawayama touched his chin and suddenly became a little surprised. It seemed that Naoha had experienced similar events and his mentality changed so much Hurry up, it’s not because of this reason that she deliberately ignores Feng Shiori?
Thinking of this, he looked at Naoha Ezaki beside him, half reminded and half teased, "Be careful that she will come back next time."
However, Naoha Ezaki doesn't take it seriously at all , even chuckled, as if she was wondering where Feng Shiori could really take revenge on herself. Last time, she let the other party go, otherwise, with Feng Shiori's personality, she would have been so shy that she had already fainted. It's past.
Seeing her undeniable appearance, Haruno Zeshan complained and put his attention back in front of him.
The mouth-taking is ready, and the next thing is to cook. If you don’t need to explain, you know that this is the type to be roasted. Because I didn’t eat it today, I won’t deal with it for the time being and jump directly to the cooking and vinegar.
Vinegar is the best treatment, which means marinating with salt. Although the process will make your hands a little sour and the taste is very frightening, it does not need to be processed all the time after it is done, which is quite convenient .
What needs to be processed is the fish part. Clean the fish in advance and clear the internal organs. There is more than one fish, because tomorrow we will definitely have to make Mizu soup, and Mizu soup will be used to enhance the flavor. It is best to fry the fish that has been put down and cooked in advance.
Haroshi Sawayama won't finish it all at once, but he can finish the preparations and try to have a meal in an hour until tomorrow night.
After all, there are eight people in the family now. If you really wait until tomorrow to cook, you don’t know when to go.
"It's almost done, and the other plates are put in this way for now."
Haro Sawayama began to encapsulate the prepared Yujie cuisine in fresh-keeping bags in turn, and then decided to take it to the living room to put it in a temporary place.
Since the cooking tonight has not been finished, it is impossible for all these dishes to be put in the refrigerator, so I can only keep them outside temporarily and then put them in the kitchen after dinner. Anyway, according to the current weather , even if it is left for a few days or nights, it will not freeze.
Haro Shizawayama also brought in half the buckwheat noodles that his mother had kneaded. He thought the other party was too slow, and this kind of thing depends on himself. It is given by the system. With several skills, he can perfectly master strength and efficiency and get soba noodles in the shortest time.
