After getting the fruits and vegetables out, Su Yan also took two thousand kilograms of Wuchang rice, five hundred kilograms of flour, three hundred kilograms of glutinous rice, and three hundred kilograms each of tea oil and peanut oil.
A small portion is kept for the Chinese New Year and taken back home for use, and the rest is stored in the warehouse first, and then taken to private restaurants and hot pot restaurants after the Chinese New Year.
Su Yan sent her parents' home 100 kilograms each of apples, pears, and oranges, 50 kilograms of strawberries, 20 kilograms of tangerines, 100 eggs, four chickens, six rabbits, two large baskets of assorted vegetables produced in the space, and three kilograms each of preserved fruits, dried meat, biscuits, and nuts bought in Hong Kong.
After delivering the New Year's goods and dishes, she suddenly thought of her master. It seemed that she had not given him any New Year's gifts.
She hurriedly took out a box of tea, a pack of cigarettes, a bag of apples, and two pounds of candy and biscuits from the space and went to her master's house.
Whether she can get a driver's license in the first month of the lunar year depends on whether her master allows her to pass. After giving her the New Year gifts, she still has to go to him to wish him a happy new year on the third or fourth day of the first month.
That's how it is in this era. To learn how to drive, you have to find a master, and after finding the master, you have to give gifts during festivals and New Year.
After delivering the New Year gift to his master, Lu Ting sent her home and asked the children to help unload the fruits from the car.
Seeing so many fruits, Lu Yiwei and others opened their mouths wide, thinking that it was no wonder that the aunt was so extravagant since she was so rich and bought so many things at once.
"Uncle, why did you buy so many fruits?"
"There are more than 20 people in our family, so we have to eat. We have to give gifts to people when we visit them during the New Year, and there are so many guests coming to visit us, so we have to bring food to them."
One apple per person, a basket of 20 kilograms of apples can be used for one meal, how many days can 200 kilograms of apples last? Even if it's cold and the food is slow to eat, don't you still have to give it away?
Lu Yiwei chuckled, "Fortunately, my uncle and aunt are good at making money."
You make so much money, why not eat it and let it get worms? Don't say Su Yan is a hedonist. She is so rich and still works and doesn't even hire a nanny. What's wrong with eating some delicious food?
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Lu Ting had not yet returned, so his parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law came over to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Originally, Su Yan had not planned to cook by herself. Lu Yiming and Lu Yining both said that they liked the food she cooked. Thinking that the two brothers would not be at home for next year's New Year's dinner, Su Yan had no choice but to take her mother-in-law and brother-in-law with her.
Snowflakes drifted in the sky as Lu Yiming stomped his feet and led his cousins to set up a grill and roast a whole lamb in the yard. There was no other way, as the kitchen was too crowded and there was no room for maneuver, so they couldn't roast a whole lamb.
Around ten o'clock, Lu Ting returned, carrying a woven bag of money. He instructed his brothers who were drinking tea, "There are a few baskets of seafood in the car. Find a way to move them down."
Lu Yu stood up with a smile, put on his gloves, and pulled Lu Chen and Lu Jin, who were warming themselves by the fire, and said, "Let's go. Let's get the seafood out of the car first."
After unloading the seafood, Lu Ting took them to paste up the couplets and put out the tribute New Year dishes to worship the gods and ancestors.
There are many people in the family, and in order to let everyone sit at the table for the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Yan plans to set up three tables, either ten people at a table or eight people at a table, anyway, they can sit at whichever table they like.
There are twelve dishes on each table, including roasted whole lamb, braised pork elbow, beef tenderloin with bell peppers, eight-treasure duck, braised soft-shelled turtle, rich pork knuckle, stir-fried abalone with fresh matsutake, chicken and asparagus, chicken wing soup, braised sea cucumber with abalone sauce, pan-fried yellow croaker, blanched prawns, and stir-fried black fungus with celery and lily.
At the men's table, there was a bottle of white wine and a bottle of foreign wine, at the lesbian's table, there were two bottles of red wine, and at the children's table, there was a box of Beibingyang soda.
They ate and chatted. The men talked about politics, while the women talked about family matters.
Lu Fengnian, with his four sons, and Lu Ting's three sons sat at the main table, while Hua Min, with her four daughters-in-law, Lu Yilan, Lu Yiru, and Lu Yiwei sat at the middle table.
Lu Yiman, Lu Yiheng, Lu Yiqian, Lu Yihan, Lu Yinyun, as well as Lu Yiwei's sister and brother sat alone at a table.
Lu Fengnian asked Lu Yiming, "I heard that you guys followed your mother to Hong Kong City. How does Hong Kong City compare to the United States?"
"Hong Kong is very prosperous, but it feels crowded with so many immigrants. The US economy is the best in the world, but its big cities aren't as crowded as Hong Kong."
"So what do you think of our country?"
"At least a few decades behind them."
Lu Fengnian put down his wine glass and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course! In 1980, my country's GDP was only 0.46 trillion yuan, and the per capita annual income was less than 500 yuan. The GDP of the United States was 2.86 trillion US dollars, which is 4.26 trillion yuan in Chinese currency, and the per capita income was 70,000 yuan in Chinese currency, which is 140 times ours."
"What about the harbor city?"
"Hong Kong's GDP is US$28.8 billion, and the average wage per capita is around US$5,700, 30 times higher than ours.
We are still trying to find a way to make ends meet, while they have already developed from an industrial city to a tertiary industry complex involving finance, real estate, and tourism.”
Lu Fengnian and his sons were silent. It turned out that their country had fallen behind to such an extent.
Lu Yu suddenly smiled and said, "With reform and opening up, our country is getting better and better. Wages have been slowly rising in recent years. The average wage in Beijing last year was probably around 80 yuan. So, big brother, your monthly salary plus various subsidies should be around 300 yuan, right?"
Lu Ting felt that this was nothing to brag about. He only saved more than 3,000 yuan a year, while his wife earned several hundred million yuan a year.
Don't compare, the more you compare, the more embarrassed you will be.
The three brothers Lu Yiming, Lu Yining and Lu Yining knew what their father was thinking as their face became increasingly darker. They laughed in their hearts because no one could compare to their mother in terms of making money. Of course, their father's salary was considered high compared to others, and he was worthy of their respect as he held real power.
