Another Lunar New Year has arrived.
At the start of the new week, Lin Zhou declined the week's tasks and distributed the year-end bonuses prepared for the employees, allowing everyone to go home for the Chinese New Year holiday.
He was alone, but Uncle Sun and the others were not.
On this day of family reunion, he couldn't let everyone stay at the villa to take care of him instead of going home for the New Year.
"Boss, can I not go home for Chinese New Year? My mom says she won't let me in the door if I don't have a girlfriend!"
Lin Zhou was so caught up in his self-satisfied sentimentality that he didn't notice that everyone, even those holding large red envelopes, couldn't smile after hearing about the holiday.
Xiao Li immediately grabbed Lin Zhou's leg and pretended to cry, hoping to stay and spend the New Year together.
I can't believe how cheerful and sunny he would be if he could eat the New Year's Eve dinner cooked by his boss.
But the boss is being too lenient; there's still a week until Chinese New Year, and he's already giving them time off to go home.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
When Xiao Li thought about all the delicious food his boss made at home that he couldn't finish and ended up in rice balls' stomachs, he felt so pained that he couldn't help but cry out.
Lin Zhou: ...
"If all else fails, I can go home and go on a blind date sooner."
Lin Zhou felt a little sorry for him seeing him crying so miserably.
But during the Lunar New Year, everyone has to be allowed to go home.
"You guys follow me around all year round, and now that it's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you go home and spend more time with your families? Go back and do whatever you need to do, like going on blind dates or whatever!"
There was no way around it; Lin Zhou was heartless, and even those who were reluctant to leave were persuaded to go.
For the next week, Lin Zhou lived a listless and neglectful life, completely ignored by everyone.
With Butler Sun and the others around, he was taken very well and lived a very healthy life.
Sometimes it's nice to spend a few days living a lazy, laid-back life.
For example, after eating a lot of healthy food, eating some junk food can have a unique flavor.
Then, on Lunar New Year's Eve, just after midnight, a notification popped up to refresh the tasks for the new week.
Lin Zhou was already used to this, and only after finishing the game in his hand did he slowly open the mission interface.
[This week's task: Sell a total of 10,000 dumplings and get 100% positive reviews.]
[Recipe: Delicious Dumplings]
[Accept/Reject]
"This mission is interesting."
He didn't accept any tasks during the Spring Festival last year.
As a result, I had a very boring New Year. It would have been better to go out and set up a stall to experience the lively atmosphere of the New Year.
After all, everyone has a holiday during the Spring Festival, so it would be very lively for him to go out and set up a stall.
The festive atmosphere of the New Year is getting worse every year, and there's not much to do during the New Year. He gets a little bored by himself.
This week's task is simple: just sell a total of 10,000 dumplings.
He didn't care about 100% positive reviews; he figured he might as well do it.
Moreover, there are no restrictions on the mission location; you can just set up a stall in Jiangdong. It's so easy!
Is this task designed to seduce him, perhaps because he's too lethargic at home, and that's why he's given such an easy task?
Who can resist that!
As Lin Zhou pondered, he seemed to have discovered something.
The more tasks he refused, the simpler the system seemed to become.
Of course, sending him to set up a stall in the desert doesn't count.
Thinking back to that week when I set up a stall in the desert, the desert was so crowded that camels started to get stuck.
It's hard to imagine how he got through that time.
After thinking it over, Lin Zhou felt that he couldn't miss this mission.
I've been lazing around at home for a week now, it's time to do something.
After receiving the mission, Lin Zhou went straight to bed and fell asleep.
After waking up, I got up to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The disappointment and sadness that Xiao Li and the others felt when they left were justified.
Because Lin Zhou's New Year's Eve dinner was indeed very lavish.
Dishes that are not served at state banquets cannot be served.
For a New Year's Eve dinner with just one person and one dog, it's not about quantity, but quality.
The menus are all prepared in advance.
Various fresh ingredients and fruits were delivered early this morning.
After breakfast, Lin Zhou began preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, and he even boiled several pots of broth.
According to the New Year's customs of Jiangdong, there must be chicken, meat, and fish on the New Year's Eve dinner table.
The rest depends on your own taste.
Since he was eating alone, Lin Zhou didn't prepare many dishes.
You can easily make a simple dish like boiled cabbage in clear broth, steamed lion's head meatballs with crab roe, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Wensi Tofu, Peking duck...
We'd almost got everything we wanted, so it was time to eat.
The meal was prepared from morning until afternoon.
The table was laden with delicious-looking dishes, and he even took a picture and posted it on his WeChat Moments with a sense of ceremony.
Lin Zhou's WeChat Moments are mostly related to food.
The moment I posted the update, my friends saw it immediately.
"Ahhh, boss, do you really not need me to go back and protect you? Do you know how I've been this past week? Please, please let me go back to work!"
The Li family was also having their New Year's Eve dinner at the same time.
His family is large, and the huge round table was filled with people. There were also many dishes on the table, dozens of dishes plus staple food, which looked very impressive. However, the taste of these dishes could not compare with the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by the boss.
Look at the dishes in this photo. He recognizes every single one of them, but he's never eaten them before.
Just looking at the pictures makes my mouth water.
Lin Zhou hasn't looked at his phone since posting on WeChat Moments.
Enjoying a delicious New Year's Eve dinner.
After dinner, I prepared the dumpling filling so I could set up a dumpling stall to sell them in the evening. It was just the right time.
Days with something to do always pass faster than lying around playing on your phone.
It was already nine o'clock at night.
Lin Zhou put the prepared dumpling wrappers and filling on the stall cart, got dressed, and set off.
The streets of Jiangdong are still very festive during the Spring Festival.
Bright red lanterns and Chinese knots were hung everywhere. Although fireworks and firecrackers were banned in the city, there were designated areas for setting them off.
As soon as Lin Zhou rode his tricycle into the street, he could hear the loud popping of fireworks, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Jiangdong was, after all, the city where he had lived the longest, and he was very familiar with every road.
They know where there are many people and where there are few people.
Along the way, he was still thinking about where to set up his stall.
Then, while waiting for the traffic light at the intersection.
We made eye contact with someone waiting at a traffic light in the same lane.
Just one glance!
The passersby stared wide-eyed, exclaiming incredulously, "Boss Lin!"
"Holy crap, it's Boss Lin!"
"I told you, it's almost Chinese New Year, Boss Lin will definitely be back in Jiangdong!"
"I didn't expect you, Mr. Lin, to be setting up a stall on New Year's Eve!"
The pedestrians riding tricycles were absolutely ecstatic.
The words he spoke grew louder with each utterance.
There weren't many people waiting for the bus at the intersection.
His shout drew everyone's attention, and they gathered around.
Lin Zhou glanced awkwardly at the passerby.
That's a great eye!
They made eye contact in the crowd, and that's how they were recognized.
Although I know there are many regular diners in Jiangdong, the chances of being recognized as soon as I step out are just too high...
Where is Boss Lin?
"Ah, I see a tricycle stall up ahead. Is that Mr. Lin back?"
"Boss Lin, I miss you so much!!!"
