Zhao Xiaocao didn't ask for the strawberries and turned away. She didn't go back to Qin's house, but went to her mother's house.
She was so greedy that she just wanted to eat something sweet. If she went back to her husband's house, she probably wouldn't be able to eat any sweets after the baby was born.
The next day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Yao Hua cooked dumplings in the morning. After the six people finished eating, they began to prepare ingredients for lunch.
It goes without saying that today there will be many businessmen entertaining guests here, or families coming out to eat and taste the stew.
The food here cannot be compared with any other famous chef.
Soon, all the people who were going to work arrived and started working.
I was still very busy at noon, but in the afternoon I could finally sit down and take a breath.
At dinner, Qin Nian asked the chef to stew two caged chickens in an iron pot, adding potatoes and vermicelli.
Last year, we bought a total of 100 good eggs, and more than 370 chicks were hatched.
Excluding the dead ones, there were 360 in total. After the stew restaurant opened, the first batch was sold out quickly.
It is not only sold in stew restaurants, but customers can also buy chickens and stew them at home. We sell both slaughtered and unkilled chickens.
In a word, the service is very good.
The second batch of caged chickens were all killed after the weather turned cold and they were frozen. Excluding those sold to the stew restaurant before the New Year, there were still more than a hundred left.
After selling for more than ten days after the New Year, there were only a few left.
But on the Lantern Festival, Qin Nian generously asked the chef to stew two caged chickens.
I also made braised eggplant, braised pork, stir-fried pork slices, spiced pig's trotters, cold spinach, spicy and sour potato shreds, and cut a large plate of trembling pork jelly.
The staple food is rice, which is not eaten often on weekdays. We also cooked dumplings. Everyone can help themselves with what they like to eat. The main point is freedom.
Just like before, everyone sat at the table, raised their glasses to drink, picked up their chopsticks to pick up food, and celebrated the Lantern Festival together, with laughter reaching the sky.
After dinner, Qin Nian asked everyone to leave work and go home early. If anyone likes to see the lanterns, there is still enough time to go to the county town.
Yao Hua smiled and said to Qin Nian, "Xiao Nian, do you want to go to the county town to see the lanterns?
If you want to go, I will go with you. Geng Tian and Geng Di will come with us.
After seeing the lights, I dared to walk back at night. "
In this era without any entertainment, visiting the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is the most ardent expectation in many people's hearts.
Qin Nian was actually not interested in this, but if she didn't go, Yao Hua certainly couldn't go either.
She smiled and nodded: "Let's go and take a look. Grandma will come with us."
Mrs. Li was delighted, and hurried back to her room to change into a new set of clothes, combed her hair neatly, and pinned a red silk flower in her hair.
Yao Hua smiled and joked: "Oh, Aunt Li, you look so beautiful when you dress up."
"That is."
Mrs. Li raised her hand and touched the silk flower on her temples: "I wore silk flowers when I got married.
I will go to the county town to see the lanterns later, and wear it again to find the feeling of my youth. "
"Grandma, you should dress up like this every day and outshine me and my aunt."
Mrs. Li also laughed: "It's impossible to compare with you, but it's almost the same as comparing with your aunt."
Yao Hua was so amused that he bent over with laughter.
Except for Geng Zhenjiang, who was watching the house, everyone else went to see the lanterns. They all went out with smiles on their faces and headed towards the county town.
They were only two miles away from the east gate of the county town, and they arrived there while chatting and laughing.
In the county town, red lanterns are hung in front of every house. Rich families and merchants even hang a row of them.
There were so many people that it seemed like there were people on every street, and there were small vendors selling candied haws and various lanterns everywhere.
"I haven't seen the lanterns for several years. It's really lively."
Mrs. Li was filled with emotion: "Life was hard before, and I didn't have the mood to watch the lanterns. From now on, we will come here every year.
Let’s go watch the lion dance, that’s my favorite.”
Geng Tian smiled and said, "We can watch whatever grandma wants to watch."
A few people were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the lion dance.
Qin Nian held Li Pozi with one hand and Yao Hua with the other, fearing that they would be separated.
Geng Tian and Geng Di followed behind them.
Before I could squeeze through, the people in front of me retreated like a tide. Someone shouted, "Oh no! Someone is killing someone!"
"Everyone, run quickly. The police will come soon and they might mistake someone for the murderer."
"Go home quickly, home is the safest place, and never come out to see the lights again!"
......
Everyone was talking at once, shouting all sorts of things, and the place was in chaos.
Qin Nian pulled Li Pozi hard, fearing that she would be pushed down by others. He protected Yao Hua wholeheartedly and also kept an eye on Qin Nian and his grandson.
"Aunt, let's go back."
After Qin Nian finished speaking to Yao Hua, he loudly said to Geng Tian and Geng: "Brother, you two should take good care of your aunt.
If you are separated, don't come in to look for them, wait at the East City Gate first, or go home first."
Within a few words, the people in front rushed down like a flood that broke through a dam.
Qin Nian was very strong and protected Li Pozi tightly. The silk flowers on Li Pozi's head were squeezed away.
In the end, he and Yao Hua were separated.
The three of them, mother and son, were together, so Qin Nian was not very worried. He protected Mrs. Li and walked out with difficulty.
Suddenly, I felt relaxed and the pressure was reduced.
Qin Nian, with sweat all over his face, turned his head and saw Su Bi appear beside him. His strength was so great that it was indescribable.
Once you stand next to Qin Nian, no one can squeeze in.
Qin Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Su Bi, what a coincidence, I met you."
Su Bi smiled and nodded, his eyes brighter than the stars and the moon in the sky:
"My uncle didn't go back to the mountain for the New Year, I was worried about him, so I came out to look for him.
Don’t let anyone trick you again. If you are locked up again, it will be hard to save you.”
He lied without blinking, but his face turned slightly red.
Fortunately, Qin Nian was only concerned about Mrs. Li, and it was night time, so he didn't notice Su Bi's blushing face.
With Su Bi, it is much easier to squeeze out of the crowd.
But when he reached the empty road section, Qin Nian was covered in sweat.
"Xiao Nian, let me take you back."
Qin Nian said: “My aunt and I agreed to wait at the East City Gate, and I don’t think they can come out so quickly.
Let’s go to the East Gate first.”
When the three of them arrived at the East City Gate, Yao Hua and Geng Tiangengdi had not arrived yet.
Qin Nian looked at Su Bi and asked, "Su Bi, when did you come? Why didn't you go to the stew restaurant to try the cooking skills of my chef?"
"I arrived today and stayed at the inn. I plan to go to your place for stew tomorrow after watching the lanterns."
Qin Nian said: "Senior Lin went to the capital. He came to my place before he left. When he left, he said that he would be back after the New Year.
You haven't come back in so many days, is there any danger?"
Su Bi shook his head: "No, that old man is very cunning. He got tricked ten years ago because he was not prepared. He won't do that again in the future."
Didn’t you just say that you were afraid that your uncle had been possessed by some evil spirit and that’s why you came out to look for him?
Su Bi also realized that what he said was inconsistent, and he calmly made amends: "I said that my uncle is smart and will never be calculated by others again.
My master didn't believe it and insisted that I go out and look for him."
