Zhang Shouquan and Qiuhua resigned themselves to helping Qiu Yantang place small heart-shaped candles at the front door.
Just then, Frog Baby came back.
"Tangtang, what are you doing?"
It was a little curious, because it had never done this before. "Street lanterns..." Qiu Yantang said, "Such a big bag, what did you bring back?"
Frog put down his bag, which contained bags of glutinous rice balls in various flavors.
"Frog, you're mistaken. The Lantern Festival is actually about eating Yuanxiao!" Qiuhua said. She hadn't eaten it for several years and the conditions in Qiujia Village did not allow it.
"Tangtang doesn't like Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings), she likes Tangyuan (Chinese glutinous rice balls)."
Frogboy spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yantang quickly said, "You do have some knowledge, but it's really not much. I'm relatively fond of glutinous rice balls, but I only eat four or five."
Everything that Frog Baby brought back was sweet. This is also the difference between the north and the south. It is said that southerners eat salty food.
Qiu Yantang doesn't like it. Her favorite fillings are black sesame and red bean paste. The fillings will flow out when you bite it. It tastes very good.
"I was just saying I forgot something today!" Qiu Yantang said, handing Qiu Hua a few bags of glutinous rice balls. "Cook them. I'll eat the ones with black sesame filling. You can cook the others."
Qiuhua nodded and said, "I'll just freeze the rest in the ice tank."
This kind of glutinous rice balls with a bit of technology are not easy to crack due to freezing, so it is completely fine to eat them all winter.
Leave some outside.
It is inconvenient for Qiuhua to put it in the space.
"There's more!" Frog Boy said, and then he spit out a bunch of various hot pot bases.
Butter pot, mushroom soup pot, tomato pot, seafood pot...
There are also various dipping sauces, such as sesame sauce from Northeast China, oil sauce from Chongqing, and dry sauce from Sichuan...
"Frog, did you forget some food?"
Qiu Yantang watched the frog spit out a bunch of dipping sauce and pot bottom, and couldn't help but say, how can we make hot pot without ingredients...
"No more. You'll have to figure out the ingredients yourself, Tangtang."
Then I can only eat pork hot pot, which has no soul. Tripe, mutton roll, beef roll...
"Forget it, I'll bear with it for a while."
But when this guy is in a bad mood, he wants to torture people, and if there is no one around, ghosts will do.
Qiu Yantang simply rented out his previous happy life again.
"Little ancestor, are you going to assign them some more work?" Qiuhua looked excited. She really liked this kind of thing of ordering the little ghosts to do work.
"It's snowing heavily these past two days. There are several families who don't have strong laborers at home. What if the heavy snow collapses the roof?" After Qiu Yantang finished speaking, he looked at those ghosts who were living a simple life.
"Clean every roof. That one over there is for the educated youth, so it doesn't need cleaning. After cleaning the roof, clear that road as well. It's too inconvenient for cars to pass through. Work overtime, and don't try to slack off."
After saying that, he and Qiuhua went into the house, and Zhang Shouquan went to inspect.
"My dear little ancestor, why do I feel like there are more ghosts in my life this time?"
"Yeah, business in the underworld isn't going well right now. Rent one, get one free. I think it's a good deal."
"It's quite cost-effective..." Qiuhua said, but she didn't expect that the underworld would provide such a service. Come to think of it, who wouldn't make money if they were paid?
Qiu Yantang was thinking that once this road was open, Sun Qing’s contact might come.
Once this road is open, Feng Sipo will have to come. When he comes, I will make a menu for him and ask him to bring all the ingredients for the hot pot next time he comes.
The pea tips in Qiuhua's room are almost ready to eat.
This life is so good!
As for the people in the village, they were all in the house, and they heard the snow on the roof "melting" with a "clacking sound". They thought it was because the weather outside had warmed up, but as soon as they went out of the house, they were frozen back into the snow.
It's minus thirty degrees Celsius...
It's so chilling.
But it's a good thing that the snow on the roof is falling down. At least I don't have to risk sweeping the snow.
The particularly bad thing about snow in Northeast China is that sometimes it snows so heavily that we have to sweep the snow off the roof for fear that the house will collapse.
It's very dangerous.
If you fall down, breaking your legs is the least of your worries. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Those little ghosts don’t have to worry about falling down, because they won’t be killed to the point of being slain anyway.
As for Qiu Yantang asking Zhang Shouquan to supervise the work, he also gave Zhang Shouquan a stack of lightning-inducing talismans. Anyway, if any of the idlers were lazy, they could just use them.
Zhang Shouquan was so excited holding the lightning-inducing talisman. There were probably only two people in the world who could use the lightning-inducing talisman, let alone in Qiujia Village.
Just at this moment, he happened to see a little devil sitting there with his butt sticking out and slacking off.
A lightning talisman came over and the person who was electrocuted fell directly into the snow pile.
"Why is it me again!" The little ghost who was electrocuted felt that this ghost life was too difficult.
Struck by lightning*3.
Zhang Shouquan said, "See? This is what happens if you don't work hard. Hurry up!"
Definitely has the temperament of an overseer.
They originally thought that since Qiu Yantang didn't specify how fast to work, they could be lazy, but they really didn't expect that.
This supervisor is not easy to deal with.
I had no choice but to work hard, for fear of falling behind and being punished.
The ghost who was electrocuted didn't dare to stay for a moment and went to work.
The next morning, everything was done. The ghosts now felt that working under Qiu Yantang was worse than going to hell.
The moment the gates of hell opened, their hearts were filled with joy of returning home.
This made Qiu Yantang look puzzled. It turned out that the little ghosts all had a tendency to be masochists. When spring came, he would let them come up to open up the wasteland.
That's why they say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Li Wei and his team came just after the snow was cleared. Mushrooms grow very fast, and they grow every few days.
"Didn't Feng Sipo come?"
Qiu Yantang asked Li Wei, which made Li Wei stunned. He was grateful in his heart that Qiu Yantang actually asked about Fengtuan. It seemed that there was hope.
He quickly said, "Comrade Qiu, Fengtuan has some things going on these two days, but he will come to settle the bill in a couple of days."
Li Wei couldn't figure it out, so Feng Sipo was usually responsible for this matter.
"That's perfect. When you go back, please give this to him for me."
After saying that, he handed Li Wei a piece of paper with the ingredients Qiu Yantang wanted written on it.
However, Li Wei put it directly in his pocket. Since it involved other people's privacy, he had no intention of opening it.
"Comrade Qiu, rest assured. I will definitely hand it over to our leader personally."
Seeing Li Wei's serious expression, Qiu Yantang seemed a little guilty, but he couldn't get it back.
Just then, Qiu Manzhi ran over.
"Little Ancestor, the village will distribute the remaining grain and money tomorrow, remember to come."
A pure savior.
