New Year's Eve, backyard.
A bowl of Zhajiang noodles and a plate of pork and cabbage dumplings.
Xu Damao didn't know that someone was trying to introduce him to a partner, so he leisurely ate his New Year's Eve dinner.
During the day, the grain store sent people to distribute flour, peanuts, sesame sauce, and other good things to every family in the courtyard. Everyone could eat dumplings at night.
New Year didn't have any special feelings for Xu Damao.
However, Xu Damao wanted to spend the first New Year in this era alone.
"The three of us are drinking alone under the moon. Unfortunately, there's no moon or shadow.”
Xu Damao finished his meal out of boredom. After washing up, he closed the door and went to sleep.
There were no entertainment activities at night. There were no fireworks outside at this time, but the children had firecrackers to buy.
While he slept, the other people in the courtyard house ate dumplings and peanuts.
Other than Xu Damao who went to bed early, the others only fell asleep very late.
It was the new year, how could he be so calm?
On the first day of the new year, at four in the morning.
Yi Zhonghai got up from the bed and woke up a middle-aged woman beside him to boil some hot water.
It was Chinese New Year, so it was best to wake up early in the morning.
He sat at the table in the courtyard with a bowl of fragrant meat soup in front of him. After drinking a mouthful, he immediately woke up.
Before that, he had to prepare everyone's meals.
Dong dong dong!
"Zhu Zi, are you awake?"
Yi Zhonghai was the first to knock on He Yuzhu's door. He was a chef, so he had to inform him first.
"I say, First Uncle, you're really early.”
He Yuzhu, who was wrapped in a blanket, opened the door and let Yi Zhonghai in.
The coal went out in the middle of the night, so he didn't sleep well the whole night.
"Put on your clothes and kill the pig to cook. Last night, everyone gathered the grain and sesame oil. We have to have a good meal today.”
Yi Zhonghai knew that everyone was reluctant to eat the oil that could be bought with oil coupons during the holidays.
However, this was not the time to be frugal. This was the only time for the new year, so he had to eat what he needed to eat.
Besides, without sesame oil, everyone still had peanut oil and pork to use.
"Alright, if you say so. Who asked you to be the eldest in our courtyard?”
He Yuzhu casually said a few words, put on his clothes, and went to the backyard with Yi Zhonghai to look for Xu Damao.
Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door and Xu Damao woke up not long after.
After putting on his clothes, he opened the door and realized that it was Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu. Xu Damao instantly understood,""First Uncle, let's go."
It looked like they were going to kill the pigs for dinner. He brought Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu to the pigsty.
A 230-pound fat pig was dragged out of the pigsty by three people.
He dragged it all the way to the front yard. The water was already boiling.
"Zhu Zi, hurry up and do it."
Yi Zhonghai signaled He Yuzhu to hurry up. The pig's cry had woken some people up.
Before everyone in the hospital woke up, the meal had to be ready.
"Just wait and see!"
He Yuzhu quickly slaughtered the pig, bled it, and cleaned its internal organs.
After cleaning up, he cut the whole pig up and took the meat.
At the side, the coal stove was brought over. He set up the pot and began to stir-fry.
"Grandpa Yi, by the way, I still have some vegetables at home. I'll go get them.”
Xu Damao took some carrots, bean sprouts, eggplant, tomatoes, and eggs.
Vegetables were grown in the space. The rolling mill itself had a vegetable field, so it was not difficult for him to get seeds.
Because the grade of the rolling mill was relatively high, the area of the vegetable field was not small.
This year's Chinese New Year, he even gave the workers a lot of cabbages.
"Not bad, Da Mao, there are really quite a few good things.”
Yi Zhonghai was very happy to see the vegetables brought by Xu Damao. He felt that the Siheyuan was getting better and better.
If he could do this every year, then his days would be really good.
At this moment, as the fragrance of He Yuzhu's cooking spread out, many people in the courtyard woke up when they smelled it.
The sesame oil was fragrant enough to begin with. After stir-frying it with pork, the fragrance immediately spread throughout the entire courtyard.
Liu Cheng, Yan Bugui, and the others in the front yard craned their necks to take a look. Oh, it's starting.
Get the whole family to move the tables and stools!
The fragrance spread to the courtyard and backyard. The adults got up and moved the tables and chairs.
As for the children, it was not too late to let them sleep for a while until the food was served.
On the other side, plates of fragrant stir-fried vegetables were served on the table.
On the other side, the steaming buns were all steamed.
Those who liked to drink would put half a bottle of wine on the table.
Those who had some spare money at home, such as Liu Hai, would put a bottle of two songs.
Then, they placed the peanuts and melon seeds on the table.
This feeling was much happier than attending a dance party organized by the factory.
At the main table.
"Today, I won't hide it anymore. I'll take out my precious wine.”
Yi Zhonghai looked around and took out a bottle of Fen wine from under his feet.
It was the same price as Xifeng wine, and it was the same good wine.
"Sure, Old Yi. There's such a good thing, but you didn't let us know. You must have wanted to drink it secretly!”
Seeing Fen wine, Liu Haizhong felt that the second song on the table had become unattractive.
It was over. He was suppressed again.
"I bought this Fen wine. I used my bicycle ticket to exchange for the wine ticket.”
Yi Zhonghai sighed with emotion. He had been reluctant to drink the wine after buying it.
It was a happy New Year today, so she could drink it.
"Old Yi, let's sit at a table.”
Liu Haizhong took the second song and sat beside Yi Zhonghai.
He was envious of Yi Zhonghai's wine, so he didn't mind losing some face for it.
"Yes, yes, yes. I think it's best for our Third Uncle to sit at the same table.”
Yan Bugui was also envious of Fen wine, but he was too embarrassed to wipe it off.
Fortunately, Liu Haizhong took the lead and he could join them halfway.
As for the food, every table was similar. It didn't matter where they ate.
"Alright, then the three of us will drink together.”
Yi Zhonghai was happy and did not care about this. He poured wine for Liu Haizhong and the others.
Hence, Aunt One, Aunt Two, Aunt Three, and the old lady all sat together.
On the other side, at the young people's gathering.
"Brother Xu, this is a toast to you.”
Liu Guangtian took the initiative to find Xu Damao and drank three cups of white wine in front of him.
It made Xu Damao wonder if this kid was here to give a toast or to cheat wine. Why did he keep drinking?
"Brother Xu, I'll toast you too."
Yan Jiecheng proposed a toast to express his gratitude, and he also wanted to earn a cup of Jing Zhi Bai Gan.
"Jie Cheng, Guang Tian, as long as the two of you follow me, your days will definitely get better and better.”
Xu Damao started to paint a big picture. Anyway, pork trotters were not worth much. The rolling mill did not want them.
There was still a lot of space. If they liked it, he would give them some.
