Chapter 415 New Years
Jiang Fan led people into the Qinxiang teahouse, and threw a bag of money to the waiter.

"I'll buy my brothers a cup of tea."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, please sit down at this table."

"I won't sit down anymore." Jiang Fan said, "Treasurer Yan is upstairs? I'll go up and wish her a New Year."

"The shopkeeper is not upstairs, it seems to be in the backyard."

Jiang Fan then walked to the backyard and saw Yan Yunyun wiping her hair on the porch.

She had obviously just washed and washed, and she didn't wear a mask. When she saw Jiang Fan, she deliberately turned her burned face to him.

"Why is Bantou Jiang coming here when he's free? If you're here to discuss official expenses, you can go to my brother yourself. Now you have to follow the rules when doing things."

"Hey, I'm just here for a cup of tea. How do you arrange the New Year's Eve dinner today?"

"Go to the county government to reunite with my father and brother."

"You come to the county office every year to celebrate the New Year, which makes me so envious." Jiang Fan smiled and said, "There are a lot of thieves in the New Year's Eve, and the fast work is too busy. Please help me. It's late at night when I have time to find brother Bao. Drink two jugs."

Yan Yunyun was too lazy to listen to what he said later, and said casually: "If you are envious, go to my father, and you will be a godson."

"How can I have the life of Gao Pan Han? I am also beautiful to be Mr. Yining's godson."

Yan Yunyun smiled and said, "So you took off your pants and faced my brother?"

Jiang Fan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Why can't this matter go through, don't get me wrong...it's not that..."

"I'll take care of you. Get out, don't make noise with my old lady." Yan Yunyun turned and went back to the house.

Jiang Fan stood in the yard scratching his head stupidly, sighed annoyedly, and returned to the teahouse.

"Boss, just now Luo Matchmaker came from the front and said she was going to marry you, hey... the daughter of Yuan Yuan's family, a very rich family."

"Go aside, don't bother me."

"It's Chinese New Year, why is the team leader still swearing at others, drink water and drink water."

"Take it away, can this white water taste like tea?"

~~
When Yan Yunyun arrived at the county government office, he went to the public house first, only to see Han Qi'an still sitting there busy.

"It's New Year's Eve, brother doesn't stop?"

Han Qi'an didn't raise his head, and said, "Now there are too many staff members, if the county affairs still need Alang to bother me, then I'm negligent... By the way, your salt sales were pretty good last month."

"In winter, there are a lot of people pickling vegetables. As long as Xu and Lu don't fight in the coming year, let my brother see my skills."

"I'm afraid there will be a war, but since it's a business, don't hesitate to reach out."

"Since this is the case, how many people will my brother help kill?" Yan Yunyun sat down beside Han Qi'an, and said calmly: "That salt merchant in Xuzhou has done something to my people."

"Dead?"

"Well, two died and two hundred catties of salt were lost."

Han Qi'an nodded and said, "Understood, the New Year's Eve came to talk about this kind of thing."

"It's booming."

Han Qi'an obviously didn't intend to let the other party pass the first day of junior high school, so he went out of the public house and recruited a small official, and said, "Help me find Team Leader Jiang."

He turned around and went back to the public room, and then he heard Yan Yunyun say: "The one surnamed Jiang is interested in me, brother needs to hit him."

"Let me ask A Lang, if A Lang agrees with you and Jiang Fan..."

"I'm not worthy." Yan Yunyun smiled, "Let's go, let's go to the New Year's Eve dinner."

~~
When I arrived at the backyard, I saw Han Qiaoer running over with a small basket.

"Father."

"Walk slowly, my daughter's house should be more quiet... Are Mr. Li and the others here?"

"Here we are, chatting with grandfather in the lobby."

Han Qi'an nodded and went to the lobby.

Han Qiaoer turned to Yan Yunyun just now, and said, "Auntie is here? Let me tell you something funny, the landlord is going to Yang Gong's house for New Year's dinner."

"How did the owner's book pass?"

"Young Master Yang sent someone to invite you."

Yan Yunyun said: "From this point of view, Mr. Yang is very good at handling things, I should learn from him."

"Shall we go to the owner's house to dig bamboo? You see, there is a huge bamboo garden just across the wall."

"Can you go there?"

Han Qiaoer nodded and said, "Brother Li and Sister Gao are going too, the concierge will let us go."

Yan Yunyun hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then you go, I brought some new year's goods, put them in the kitchen first."

"Ok."

Han Qiaoer didn't force her, she waited here for a while, and saw Li Xia and Gao Mingyue coming over after changing clothes.

"Let's go."

Gao Mingyue asked: "Is it really okay if we dig up the bamboo of the owner's house?"

Li Xia said: "That's bamboo from the county government, not from the landlord."

Han Qiaoer said: "But the owner of the house really likes that piece of bamboo garden. Last time, he recited Dongpo's poem with his grandfather, 'You can eat without meat, but you can't live without bamboo. Without meat, you will be thin, and without bamboo, you will be vulgar." ...'"

Li Xia said: "Bamboo is the meat of the little bamboo bear, without bamboo it makes it thin."

Gao Mingyue and Han Qiaoer both pursed their lips and smiled.

"Brother Li, why is Bamboo Bear so fat after being a vegetarian?"

"..."

~~
"Shall I cook this fish?"

In the kitchen, Li Zhaocheng paced in, took a look with his head, finally felt itchy, pointed to the fish on the table, and said to the two cooks: "I think you are planning to steam, but this kind of crucian carp is not suitable for steaming. Make a fish soup, and then make a fish meal, okay?"

He was not very satisfied with the cooks of Li Xia's family, they only knew how to steam and cook, and there were already several boiled dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner.

It's better for him to cook a few good dishes.

As for the auxiliary materials, Li Zhaocheng had already brought them. He sent the two cooks to fetch water, sharpened the kitchen knives and began to work, humming unconsciously.

"There is no reason in the Zhangjiazhai to make it use its legs to lift stones. The second saint can't save himself, so he built a Taiping building..."

When he turned around, he suddenly saw a figure standing aside, and Li Zhaocheng was startled.

"Huh? Aunt Yan from the Han family?"

Yan Yunyun was a little displeased when he heard it, and said: "The song that Mr. Li Jialang is humming is somewhat slandering the court?"

Li Zhaocheng smiled shyly and said, "I like to eat in restaurants. It's interesting to listen to other people's singing. Once you learn it, don't tell it."

Seeing his smile, Yan Yunyun calmed down a bit, put down the New Year's necessities in his hands, and asked, "Why is Li Langjun cooking?"

"I like to cook."

"It smells delicious."

Li Zhaocheng lowered his head to deal with the fish again, and said, "I thought you were going to say 'a gentleman is far away from a butcher'."

"You often cook? Why are your hands so pretty?"

"Just be careful not to cut your hands. Do you want to wash your hands? Scoop you a glass of warm water?"

"No need...By the way, Li Langjun and A Lang are relatives?"

Li Zhaocheng remained calm and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I find it strange that Mr. Xiling is a great talent, how could he come from afar to join Alang's curtain, and how could he be equal to my adoptive father so quickly."

Yan Yunyun's words were quite sharp.Li Zhaocheng just smiled gently, and said: "That's not true, my family was in trouble, and I was sheltered by Li Zhi County."

"So that's the case. I was thinking too much. I asked my brother earlier, but he told me not to ask."

Li Zhaocheng said: "It's just a humble family, I only hope to open a restaurant in the future."

Yan Yunyun relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "I am similar, I am sheltered by A Lang, and I just want to open a teahouse."

"The same person who has fallen in Tianya? Help me bring Jiang..."

After a while, the fish came out of the pot, and the aroma rose...

~~
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Li Zhixian's family members had too many seats at one table, so they divided the men and women into a table.

Asha hated eating with too many people, and wanted to avoid it, but was ordered back by Li Xia.

When Li Xia seldom taught others, this time he was scolded by Yi Shiying in Lingxiao City, and imitated Yi Shiying's tone.

"I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, even if you are a ghost, you have to sit down for dinner tonight."

"Pluto doesn't like to eat with these ordinary people either."

"No... I quite like it."

Asha had no choice but to reluctantly walk into the hall and sit down beside Gao Mingyue.

She sniffed the cup in front of her, showing doubts, and without waiting for others to sit down, she raised her cup and took a sip, then nodded in understanding.

"Peach syrup, is it good?" Yan Yunyun said with a smile, "That gentleman from the Li family made it."

Asha didn't like her, so she didn't answer, she was bored and picked up the food, and she was a bit puzzled after taking a bite.

Today's dishes are obviously much tastier than the usual light ones.

……

Li Xia sat in the main seat, and everyone including Li Yong sat in his lower seat.

Even if they were father and son, they would accept each other's seat arrangement with ease.

But Li Xia is not as active as Jiang Chun, and this year's New Year's Eve dinner is much more boring than last year.

He just planned to finish eating quickly and go to the camp to accompany the soldiers in the camp.Then, come back earlier.

In addition, the food is not bad... He just doesn't like sweets, and he is willing to eat light food, which doesn't mean he can't taste anything delicious.

"This year, I would like to thank the Han and Li families, and Daoist Hao for taking care of it for me. I would like to respect you all."

Li Yong said with a smile: "Since we celebrate the New Year together, we are a family. A family does not speak two different languages."

Han Chengxu laughed, and said: "Mr. Li is right, Ah Lang is out of touch."

"Today's festival, you don't need to regard me as the county magistrate, just as a junior. I am boring, you just joke around, don't be restrained."

The atmosphere was obviously not as lively as Li Xia's. Everyone in the hall looked at each other and became more silent.

It was Liu Susu who dared to joke, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about knowing the county, the young couple is newly married, and I can't wait to finish the New Year's Eve dinner early... Let's toast."

Then everyone laughed.

Yan Yunyun got up and said: "Let me tell you, don't mention the war tonight, anyone who mentions it will be fined a drink, I will come up with some business riddles, and if I can't guess, I will be fined a drink."

The atmosphere became quite lively, Li Xia turned his head and saw Gao Mingyue was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, Gao Mingyue nodded, expressing that he really wanted to guess the riddle.

Li Xia smiled slightly... Then, the porter came running.

"Magistrate, someone is here to visit, he is from the army, he is injured, he seems to have come all the way..."

~~
Nie Zhongyou led Lin Zi into the door, turned his head to look, and saw Li Xia striding forward, he couldn't help grinning, and smiled apologetically.

"I agreed to congratulate you, but I'm late."

"It's not too late, the year hasn't passed yet."

"what……"

Nie Zhongyou strode forward, gave Li Xia a hug, and laughed.

"I didn't bring a congratulatory gift, it's okay to owe it."

Li Xia patted Lin Zi on the back, pulled the two of them, and said, "Take care of the injury first, then we can talk. Where did you get the injury?"

"The reinforcement of Kuzhu Pass was intercepted by Wang Dechen's troops. I only have 20 days to rest..."

"Bitter Bamboo Pass? Why is there a war at this time?"

"This year is a bit different from usual. The Mongolian army in Lizhou is coming very fiercely... Also, I'm afraid that Niu Lin is going to attack Syria soon. I'll hurry up. The news should arrive in a few days..."

Li Xia turned her head and saw her family members coming out of the living room, all of them looked at Nie Zhongyou with worry in their eyes.

……

Yan Yunyun just said that "whoever raises the issue of war will be fined a glass of wine", but she dare not let the man in front of her who keeps talking about the war be punished with many glasses of wine.

She and Han Qi'an looked at each other, worried about the new salt business.

In any case, the lively atmosphere of this year's festival was abruptly interrupted...
