Chapter 181 An extraordinary New Year’s gift! [Ask for monthly pass]
“Haha, I want to make a super big dumpling!”
In the restaurant, Mu Guiying held a dumpling wrapper in her hand, filled it with meat filling, and Pick up another dumpling wrapper and put it on.
She originally planned to pinch two pieces of dumpling wrappers together to make a drum-shaped dumpling, but she overestimated her own strength. The filling spilled out and the dumpling wrappers became sticky. A ball.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Diao Chan couldn’t help but sigh:
"Sister Guiying, please put less stuffing. The fillings are all made by Mr. himself, so wasteful."
Li Yu, who was rolling out the dough, was very open-minded:
" When stuffing is spread out, it means there will be more food every year, and it is a good sign. "
In the past few days during the New Year, no matter what happens, it will be interpreted as a good omen, so that the next year will have more good luck. Wealth, new achievements.
Sir, this little mouth is really good at talking... Mu Guiying looked excited:
"It's the first time I messed up something and I didn't get punished. I really want to celebrate the New Year every day."
How did the empress educate you in the past? Will you greet me with sticks every day... Li Yu plans to remind the empress in the future that education with sticks is not necessary.
But with such a reminder, there is a high probability that he will suffer a few blows to his brain, so forget it. Anyway, it is Master Mu who is training, not me.
Well, I won’t disturb the master-disciple relationship.
Not only the leader of Mu Village was at a loss for dumplings, but Lu Fengxian, who fought the four heroes in Hulao Pass, also looked at a loss:
"Brother, why is it harder to make dumplings than to kill the enemy in battle?"
He stared at the eyes like bells, carefully studied the wrapping method of the good student Yue Fei, then stretched out his carrot-like fingers and pinched He held the dumpling skin in his hands, filled it with fillings, squeezed them tightly according to the procedure, and then squeezed out the fillings as expected.
Now Lu Bu would rather go to Hulao Pass and fight the eighteen princes for 600 rounds than make dumplings.
Li Yu felt that it was really difficult for this guy to make dumplings. With such big hands, the dumpling skins looked like embroidery in his hands. It was normal that he could not wrap them well.
On the other hand, Qin Qiong, Wu Song and Yue Fei are very clever and can make decent dumplings. They must have made dumplings before and have experience.
While he was busy, the sound of firecrackers came from the village at the foot of the mountain. Mu Guiying couldn't sit still:
"Sir, people have started to set off firecrackers. Why don't I go and prepare first?"
< br>Li Yu said:
"Don't worry, wrap it first. The rule here is to cook the dumplings before setting off firecrackers. I bought more than 20,000 yuan of fireworks, which is definitely enough for you to play with."
Before, I was worried that the horses would be stressed and had some concerns when buying fireworks, but now all the horses have gone to Muke Village where the temperature is lukewarm. Li Yu added more than 10,000 yuan worth of fireworks in the morning. Firecrackers.
After rolling out the dumpling wrappers, he wiped his hands and called Zhang Guoan:
"Guoan, don't let people into the scenic spot after four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone should get off work early and go back for the New Year's Eve dinner. Please tell everyone not to Drink too much, so as not to miss work tomorrow.”
“I know, the managers of all departments have just been notified, and they are all waiting to receive three times the salary. No one will delay making money.”
Although the New Year’s Eve dinner is exciting, the triple salary in the scenic spot is even more exciting.
In addition to the triple salary, there are also red envelopes and bonuses distributed by the boss. Don’t seize such a good opportunity. , but it’s such a loss.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu saw that Qin Qiong and others were doing a good job, so he came to the kitchen and started cooking.
Steam what should be steamed, what should be grilled should be roasted, what should be boiled should be boiled, and what should be stewed should be stewed. As for dishes such as frying, you have to wait until before the meal starts so that you can eat them while they are hot.
While making dumplings, Diao Chan told anecdotes about the New Year:
“Sister-in-law Xiao Ju said that her family likes to wrap coins in dumplings, and whoever eats them will be rich.”
Qin Qiong took out a copper coin, Yue Fei took it and trotted to wash it, Wu Song quietly wrapped it into the dumpling, Lu Bu couldn't do it with his hands, so he only got a lucky draw:
"Whoever gets the copper coins will reward my brother with a gold cake!"
Haha, brother Fengxian is so generous, he climbed up the pole to give money to the leader of the village... Mu Guiying marked the dumplings like a chicken thief! , and then changed the topic with a guilty conscience:
"How can fireworks and firecrackers give full play to their advantages on the battlefield?"
A marquis, a prince, and two marshals present here, I'm no stranger to military matters.
Hearing this question, Yue Fei first said:
"It has limited effect on the infantry. There may be riots at first, but the sound alone has no obvious lethality. An experienced commander will gather the soldiers and reverse the collapse."
In ancient armies, as long as there is no collapse, , there is still room for reversal.
Although fireworks and firecrackers look dazzling, they are not very effective during the day. As long as you get through the earliest period of turmoil, you can stabilize the situation and turn defeat into victory.
Lu Bu peeled a sugar orange and stuffed it into his mouth:
"The cavalry is more affected. Once the horses are frightened, they will scatter and run away. They cannot be recovered in a short time, and they may even A large stampede occurred.”
Qin Qiong added:
"It is best to use it during night attacks, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort... Sister Guiying asked why?"
Mu Guiying pinched a hawthorn stick and fed it To Diao Chan, he said distressedly:
"I am worried about how to break through the Tianmen Formation at the minimum cost. If the fireworks and firecrackers can scare away the soldiers in the formation, it will be a great deal."
When the Tianmen Array was mentioned, everyone started a heated discussion again.
Yue Fei believes that he must first find the formation map, or go to the Yang family camp to obtain Han Zhongli's Heavenly Book according to the original plot, and then consider ways to break the formation.
In order to help Mu Guiying, the little guy also specifically said that when the formation map or heavenly book is available in the future, he can help with the details and strive to win the Tianmen Formation at the lowest cost.
Wu Song believed more in modern technology. He thought he could buy a drone for extinguishing wildfires, fly it with gasoline to the top of the formation, and pour the gasoline down.
When the fire ignites, no matter how powerful the formation is, it will be useless.
Although Lu Bu has also read "The Romance of the Yang Family", he is not good at analysis and said that he would go back and consult the two external brains of Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
Well, I don’t believe that the combined wisdom of Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Yue Fei can’t break a small Tianmen Formation.
Qin Qiong thinks it is better to immerse yourself in gunpowder:
“Since we have all kinds of information given by Li Xiandi, we will increase our efforts in research, and we will definitely gain something.”
He decided to take the time to write a letter to Li Shimin and pass along the gunpowder information so that Erfeng Children's Shoes could find someone to secretly develop it.
In the evening, carefully prepared New Year’s Eve dishes began to be served to the small private room.
Roast goose, roast suckling pig, roast lamb leg, braised pork head, pork belly with mustard leaves, crispy pork ribs, crispy pork ribs, crispy chicken nuggets, steamed meatballs, sweet potato balls, scallion and ginger blue crab, boiled black tiger prawns, steamed Eastern star spot , spicy stir-fried razor clams, pig trotters stew, ox tail stew, lamb scorpions in clear soup, honey yams...
A large table is filled with various dishes, and some cold dishes and braised dishes can only be mixed together. Only then could I let it go.
Li Yu took out the cooked dumplings and waved to Mu Guiying, who could not wait any longer:
“Let’s set off the firecrackers!”
After that, He took the first bowl of dumplings and raised it to the sky in the yard to pray for good weather; then he sprinkled a little dumpling soup on the ground, which was regarded as an offering to God.
Then he went to the living room, solemnly saluted Pangu's painting, and thanked Uncle Pangu for his protection of the B&B.
Although we are young people, some traditional customs should be inherited and maintained to maintain the sense of ritual during the New Year.
In the yard, Mu Guiying pulled 50,000-ring firecrackers and set them in a long row. After everyone was ready, she took the windproof lighter in her hand and lit the fuse.
"Bang bang bang..."
The crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, and Brother Dao also joined in the fun without any fear. Everyone stood on the corridor and watched the scene quietly. Red cannon paper was splashed everywhere, adding a bit of joy to the B&B.
When the gunfire ended, the ground seemed to be covered with a red carpet, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Well, this is the Chinese New Year!
Li Yu greeted everyone and said:
"Let's have New Year's Eve dinner. After that, let's set off fireworks!"
Everyone happily poured into the small private room and prepared Have a meal.
The guests staying in the large private room next to them tonight also ordered a large New Year's Eve dinner, which was already being eaten. Li Yu specially sent two bottles of red wine for them to eat and drink.
After greeting the guests, Li Yu brought some meat to Brother Dao and told the guy to eat more. Then he walked into the small private room. Everyone was already waiting.
Qin Qiong pointed to the seat of honor at the innermost seat and said:
"Brother, we are here only because of you, so you have to sit at the seat of honor, and I can't wait for you. This qualification."
Li Yu couldn't resist and sat in the back. Diao Chan sat down next to him. Qin Qiong, Wu Song and Lu Bu sat together because they wanted to drink.
Mu Guiying originally wanted to drink, but she was afraid of delaying the fireworks, so she had to drink juice drinks with Yue Fei Diaochan.
After filling up the wine, Li Yu held the wine glass and said: "Thank you all for coming to the real world. I would like to toast you all with this glass of wine. I hope that on New Year's Eve next year, we will all have new harvests and at the same time, we can open more books. "Chinese World."
If there could be a character in the book from all dynasties, it would be very lively for everyone to gather together.
After Mu Guiying clinked glasses with everyone while holding the juice, she said excitedly:
"My suggestion is to open a world with many beauties..."
At this point, she suddenly realized that she had let slip a little, and quickly made up for it:
"Our B&B has many men and few women. , Xiaochan is not the administrator yet, so it is uncoordinated. I think we can have a female administrator to balance things out.”
Well, it’s best to use power wisely, so that it would be interesting for the gentleman to be in the middle.
I just don’t know if Miss Zhou will be angry and kick her husband away. You have to be careful and don’t play with fire, lest your husband will get angry and withdraw assistance to Muke Village.
Li Yu drank the wine in the glass, picked up a tiger skin chicken foot and said while eating:
"After the Spring Festival, I will try to open another book, but I haven't decided which one it is yet. , everyone, please be patient.”
According to the current situation, it is best to open up the world of "Official Affairs Revealed", which contains the plot of the Westernization Party purchasing arms from abroad. If it can be cut off, It will definitely be of great help to other worlds.
Thinking about Lu Bu standing on the city wall with Maxim in his hands and sweeping across the city, the scene would be explosive.
Mu Guiying can also use a large-caliber cannon to carry out a long-range carpet strike on the Tianmen Formation.
As for Water Margin and Yue Shijie, there is no need to wait for the Jin soldiers to go south, but to go straight to the Northern Expedition, destroy Daliao first, then attack the Northeast, and drive Wanyan Agu directly to the Arctic Circle to compete with the polar bears for territory.
But unfortunately, Brother Dao doesn't seem to like classical novels describing the Qing Dynasty. In the past few nights, every time a novel like "The Appearance of Officialdom" is placed on the carpet, he will get angry. Just kick the book into the hallway.
In order to make Gouzi change his mind, Li Yu bought more than a hundred classic novels from the Qing Dynasty and planned to place them on the carpet to see if Gouzi would be tempted.
Qin Qiong drank the white wine in the glass:
"Which book do you want to open, dear brother? Can you download it to your mobile phone first?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu quickly responded:
"Yes, this is very important. Know yourself and the enemy, so that you can deal with each other easily in the future."
Wu Song, Yuefei, Mu Guiying and others also wanted to know what happened next. Which dynasty book should I open and what story should I tell?
Don't look at me, I don't know either... Li Yu had no choice but to continue playing the magician:
"Which book to open and when to open it all depends on chance. I'm still saying No, don’t worry, I’ll tell you if I have any clues.”
After the first glass of wine, everyone started eating and drinking.
Li Yu gave Diao Chan a piece of honey-glazed yam:
“This is a dessert dish specially made for you. Try if you like it. You can make something else next time.”
In addition to honey sauce dishes, shredded dishes can also be made for the little girl to try, or lady dishes such as Northeastern pot-roasted pork buns, which she will probably like very much.
“I just ate a small piece secretly. It’s delicious. I didn’t expect that yam can do this.”
Diao Chan happily ate the honey yam, feeling happier and happier.
Originally I planned to study after the fifth grade of junior high school, but since my husband is so good, I will start studying from the day after tomorrow. I will finish the elementary school courses early and start studying the junior high school courses!
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Qiong opened the wooden box he brought and said with a smile:
"Dear brothers and sisters, brother Yu is afraid of getting drunk, so he will give you the new year's money in advance... A few days ago, Wang Bodang and his two wise brothers Xie Yingdeng came over and brought some gold ingots. Brother Wang did not shirk and accepted them. It is just the right time to give out lucky money to everyone today. "
He took out six gold ingots from the box. Pieces of gold ingots processed by Shan Xiongxin, each weighing about a kilogram, were distributed to everyone one by one, starting with Wu Song and Lu Bu.
Li Yu knew that Qin Shubao, the big brother of the B&B, would prepare gifts for everyone, but he didn't expect that he would be so simple and rude as to give gold ingots directly.
“Thank you, Brother Qin!”
“Thank you, brother!”
“Thank you, Brother Shubao!”
“I would say Brother Qin You look so handsome today, thank you!”
"..."
After everyone thanked him, Qin Qiong said:
"If you want modern supplies, you can give them directly to Li Xiandi and ask him to help buy...Xiandi, this box is also for you. Come on, maybe you can change some money."
What he brought was a gold-inlaid wooden box from the Sui Dynasty. There were bright gold packages on the edges and corners. This box alone is worth a lot of money.
Li Yu didn't show any politeness to him, took the box, placed it on the tea table behind him, and sent it to the vault after dinner.
After Qin Qiong handed out the new year's money, it was Lu Bu's turn.
He is also a straight-forward person. Each person makes a gold cake weighing half a catty.
Li Yu felt that if this New Year's Eve dinner was photographed and posted online, it would definitely be regarded as a typical example of showing off wealth, with all kinds of golden hair being handed out, which is too cruel!
After giving out the new year's money to the younger ones, Lu Bu took out the gift he prepared for Qin Qiong, which was a ball of folded silk cloth:
"I spent a lot of time asking the old man to Guan gave you the inscription "Yi Bo Yuntian", and this idiot Lao Guan actually asked me who in the world can afford these four words."
Well, Yi Bo Yuntian's representative actually asked this. Lao Guan really didn't know how high his reputation was.
Hearing these four words, Qin Qiong looked ashamed:
“Brother Yu hasn’t brought brother Shan Xian here yet, I feel ashamed of these four words, if I can see him someday Guan Yunchang, I must thank you in person!”
The next step is Li Yu.
He first took out the gift he had prepared for Qin Qiong, a set of the latest golden cavalry armor produced by Zhao Dahu.
Although the infantry armor has good protection, it is not a cavalry armor after all. It is somewhat inappropriate for fighting. Relatively speaking, the newly designed cavalry armor is more suitable for Brother Qin.
When Li Yu showed the armor covered with cloth in the corner of the private room, Qin Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Obviously, he likes this armor very much.
Then Li Yu gave Lu Bu a laptop with high performance and long battery life. With this computer, he can view videos and organize information there.
“Mr. Wen He was just looking for a laptop, and I didn’t expect this. Thank you, dear brother!”
In the future, there will be more things to do in the camp, which will also help Jia Xu learn modern knowledge.
As for how to use the computer, Sun Facai was not around, so Lao Jia could only let Lao Jia slowly explore according to the cached tutorials.
After giving away the gifts, Li Yu began to give out lucky money.
Wu Song is 20,000 yuan in cash, and Mu Guiying is a bill of lading for compressed biscuits, which can be cashed after the year.
Yue Fei is a copy of the Year of the Dragon limited edition Huanggang Secret Volume and a complete set of study materials. It also comes with sweet potato seedlings from 2,000 acres of land and potato sprouts from 2,000 acres of land.
Diao Chan is Huanggang secret scroll and 20,000 yuan in cash.
Seeing the thick stack of test papers, the little girl was so happy that she almost cried:
“I thought it was a joke to give test papers as gifts during the Spring Festival, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Stinky actually did this. Zhou Sister is right, someone really needs to be taken care of!"
Then Wu Song gave him the gifts that everyone wanted most. For example, Diao Chan was a movie card with a charge of 10,000 yuan, and Li Yuze is a tea set from the Song Dynasty.
Mu Guiying is lazy, and the gift is the same as the new year's money, a gold ingot for each person. Only Li Yu's gift is more special, it is a bright bronze mirror.
Before receiving the gift, Li Yu thought that the bronze mirror was the kind in costume dramas that could only vaguely reflect figures. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be smooth and bright, almost as bright as a glass mirror.
"Sir, it's not that I'm stingy. Master specially asked me to bring you a mirror from the village, and asked you to take more pictures."
Huh?
What does this mean?
Diao Chan thought for a moment and guessed the empress’s intention:
"Is the empress asking you to look in the mirror more often, face your inner thoughts, and recognize yourself?"
Li Yu held up the mirror and looked left and right, then flipped his bangs coquettishly:
"I think your Majesty is reminding me not to be handsome without knowing it... Hey, Guiying, I'm just joking. Please don't let your Majesty learn these words."
As for my old mother's temper, You can't play it all over my head?
Mu Guiying Maliao’s oath:
"Don't worry, sir, I will never reveal a word. If I violate it, I will be struck by thunder!"
