Spatial Farming: Busy with Cubs to Abuse Scum

Chapter 123
On the first day of the new year, the mother-in-law of the Qiao family set off firecrackers at the gate of Jixiangyuan.

The year before last, last year, Qiao Mai didn't set off firecrackers, fearing to frighten the horses at home, but now that the house is bigger, setting them down at the door won't affect them.

In order to have a happy New Year, she asked Shopkeeper Niu to arrange for someone to buy a carload of firecrackers, and the bright red firecrackers were set off for an hour before they stopped.

The one-acre square of snow at the gate of Jixiangyuan is covered with red cannon skins, as bright as a red carpet, which makes people feel better after seeing it.

The children put on new clothes and ran to Qiao Mai's yard early to wait for the New Year greetings.

Qiao Mai slept late last night, and heard voices outside, barely got up, looked at the several sets of new clothes beside the bed and smiled.

Some made for her by Ruyi, some made by Yue Hong, some bought by herself, she picked up the suit she bought, put it on, put it on in front of the mirror, combed herself a nice hairstyle, and then took out the old lady Put it on your own hood.

Taking a picture of herself in the Copper Realm, she is now much taller, already 1.6 meters and fifteen.

As life gets better and better, a lot of meat has grown on my body.

Her face looks much more pleasing to the eye than when she first wore it. It is said that whiteness covers all ugliness. It is true that her snow-white skin looks good even without looking at her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

Picking up a jade bracelet in the vanity box and wearing it on her wrist, she felt that nothing was wrong before she walked out of the room.

Yuan Jiaqi and the children's eyes lit up, "Mother, you are so beautiful."

"You guys are so handsome too!"

"Whee!"

"Come to the living room quickly, don't stand in the courtyard, it's snowing, it's so cold, my mother will feel bad if she freezes."

When they arrived at the living room, she sat down with him, and when Ling'er came over, several children came forward to pull her, and knelt down to pay New Year's greetings to the two of them in a dignified way.

Yuan Jiaqi gave each of the children a red envelope, and Qiao Mai prepared a small animal made of gold for each of the children.

But they were so happy that they kept playing with them in their hands.

Yuehong and Yuexia were also dressed up, came up to pay New Year's greetings to them, and got a big red envelope.

The servants came to pay New Year's greetings in groups of three or five, and they all left happily after getting red envelopes.

Before leaving, Qiao Mai did not forget to tell them that he would also go to shopkeeper Lu to pay New Year's greetings.

After they all finished worshiping, Qiao Mai looked at the Yuan family and got up.

"Let's go to Sister Lu's too. She is a big girl, so we should go there."

In this way, the two brought the children to shopkeeper Lu. She and Ruyi had just received New Year's greetings from the servants in the living room.

"Hey, if you don't come, I said I would take Ruyi there for a while."

"How can an older sister wish her younger sister a New Year's greetings? Happy New Year, older sister!"

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

The children knelt down immediately, and shopkeeper Lu couldn't close her mouth with joy, so she quickly helped the children up.

One person gave a big red envelope and asked them all to sit down.

"It's snowing, so I can't go anywhere. I even said to go to the county town to pay New Year's greetings to my sisters. Thanks to them for taking care of my shop all these years."

"They will understand, the road is not easy to walk."

"Yeah, tell me, I want to be idle when I'm busy, and I want to be busy when I'm idle. I was born with a busy life."

"Should we go to Mayor Qian's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Shopkeeper Lu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him, "You go, I won't go."

"Don't talk about other relationships, just say that people have been begging for justice in the town these years, and we should go when the mayor is protecting us."

"Then for the sake of having no place to go, give him a new year's greetings, hmph, he's so beautiful."

"If you're still reluctant, let's go,"

Qiao Mai took her hand, and everyone went out together to the mayor's house.

At the gate of the compound, there were many common people coming in and out. The mayor sat in the living room to receive them, and the guards stood guard on both sides of the gate.

The people paid New Year's greetings to him, and they just stopped and left. He socialized like this every year, saying that he was annoying or annoying, and it was only once a year. The main reason was that he, the mayor, did a good job. love him.

Seeing shopkeeper Lu and the others, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, rare guest, sit down, sit down, don't leave today, will you be at my house at noon this year?"

"Who is at your house? We haven't had breakfast yet."

Shopkeeper Lu gave him a word of encouragement as soon as he came up. The two of them were like two happy enemies.

"It just so happened that they paid New Year's greetings to the old man. I will go to your house to eat. Your food is delicious."

"Hmph, how about going to someone else's house for dinner on the first day of the new year?"

"What's the matter with embarrassment? It happens that my brother is alone. It's so boring to guard you a group of women. Let's have a drink."

Well, in order to have dinner at Qiao's house, he even called Yuan's family a brother. To be honest, he is of the same generation as Wang Zongsheng.

Qiao Mai poked shopkeeper Lu with his hand, "Good sister, let's not pinch the Chinese New Year. Let's go home and have breakfast first. Mayor Qian, we will wait for you at home at noon."

"Good class, what are you calling Mayor Qian? If you don't see anyone, you should call him Big Brother Qian?"

Qiao Mai chuckled, "You have a long life?"

Mayor Qian's single eyelid rolled, "Don't look at Mr. Qian's maturity, but Mr. Qian is not yet fifty, and just forty to six after the new year."

Qiao Mai covered her mouth and smiled, "Well, you're really old-fashioned, those who didn't know thought you were sixty."

"What do you mean, I'm only ten years older than Sanniang."

"Okay then, let's go back."

"go Go!"

Mayor Qian asked the guards to distribute red envelopes to each child. When they returned home, Qin Dong's family from the carpenter's shop in the town and shopkeeper Tong were waiting in the living room of their home.

This is to give them New Year's greetings, and they were very enthusiastic when they met.

"Oh, happy Chinese New Year, where have you been?"

"Happy Chinese New Year, let's go to the mayor's house!"

"Haha, we just came out of him not long ago, come, come, come, this is a red envelope for the child."

"Drink at my house at noon?"

"Okay, okay, I wish I could."

It seems that these two people also felt that there was no place to go when it was snowing, so they came to Qiao's house to eat and drink.

Just about to have breakfast, the boss of the butcher shop, the tailor shop, the blacksmith shop, as long as the boss of Qiao Mai in the town who takes care of their business, all came to pay New Year's greetings.

Anyone who sees the child will give a red envelope, and the children are soft-hearted when they receive the red envelope.

"Why don't you stay for lunch at noon?"

"Okay, okay, we can't easily eat your food."

"Who said, my family married a daughter years ago, and you didn't come?"

"Haha, don't you miss your family's food now?"

Qiao Mai asked them to sit first, and she and her family hurriedly ate a bowl of dumplings, and asked Yuan Jiaqi to talk with them.

She went to the kitchen, and the cooks knew that there were guests, and they were all busy there.

"Prepare two tables of food, and prepare a few tables for you. Today is the first day of the new year. Everyone eats and drinks well."

"Master, the food we usually eat is not bad, but it doesn't show much for those who don't celebrate Chinese New Year."

Qiao Mai smiled, "Steam the intestines on a plate, as well as the sauced meat, and eat dumplings at noon, let them taste our dumplings, and you can get some to eat too."

"Yes, master"

She doesn't like to socialize, so she goes back to the backyard alone.

Thinking of the candied haws she made last year, what surprises will she give the children this year?

She took stock of the snacks on the earth, and thought of a very delicious snack, that is popcorn.

This is very simple and easy to make, as long as you prepare the ingredients, you can make it very easily.

Corn, butter, butter, sugar, chocolate, rice, maltose, and molds were all ready, and she was tinkering in the kitchen.

First, I made two pots of creamy popcorn, then two pots of chocolate flavor, and finally I made a pot of rice. I mixed them with maltose, poured them into molds, made rice cakes, and then cut them into long slices. It's square, so let's stop.

Put the three things into a clean cloth bag, carried them to the living room.
