Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 542 New Year’s Goods Foodie

After lunch, Chu Xiangqiang was sitting in the living room of the main room, drinking tea.

Xue Jinglan walked in with Hong Kong Sheng, Feifei and Aiyuan, "Brother Qiang, why don't we spend the New Year in this courtyard?

When the time comes, we can invite the second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, and Aiguo all over for the New Year's Eve dinner, and they can all sit down.

Even if you live here, there are enough room arrangements. "

Although the houses of the master and mistress are still there, they have packed up all the three courtyards, and there are about twenty houses.

There are more than a dozen fire pits where people can live.

If you really think about it, the three-entry courtyard at Qianmen is smaller than the three-entry courtyard in Luoguxiang.

But the layout and specifications are actually similar.

The courtyard can accommodate nearly twenty households, and the courtyard beside the front door can naturally accommodate fifteen or sixteen households.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while before nodding.

My family closed the door to eat their own food, so as not to dare to take out the meat to eat.

The only trouble now is that if the second uncle and the third uncle know that their nephew has just married a wife, he suddenly has two concubines.

I don't know, but I am secretly happy in my heart, thinking that my eldest brother's branch will definitely have many heirs in the future.

Still wanted to break Chu Qianqian's legs.

So Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided to let Ehime go back first and tell her second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle. If that didn't work, she might as well tell her that she had settled in Hong Kong Island.

Since the laws of Hong Kong allow it, and Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei are willing, there is nothing illegal or morally wrong.

As for the father-in-law, maybe the Xue family has long known that he has more than one woman. They didn't tell it before, and they won't tell it now.

A year ago, I took Xue Jinglan to visit relatives at my father-in-law's house, and on the second day of the new year, I went to visit my father-in-law to pay New Year greetings. As long as you don't foolishly bring Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei with you, everyone should just pretend they don't know.

After giving Ehime a good explanation and sending her out, Chu Qianqian saw Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng's faces turning slightly red, and guessed what the two girls were thinking.

With the excuse that they were tired from the flight and wanted to take a nap, Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng hurriedly went to the bedroom in the main house to tidy up and make the bed.

After the two little girls had packed up, Chu Qianqian would not let them go, so he simply locked them in the bedroom together with Feifei.

After all the fuss, it was already past 3 p.m.

Chu Qianqian challenged three people. Although he didn't feel tired, he slept until about 6 o'clock in the evening.

Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei, who had been waiting for Chu Qianqian to start eating, heard something moving in the room and hurriedly opened the door and went in to serve him and dress.

During this period, Chu Xiangqian was naturally dishonest, causing his three little wives to laugh and curse from time to time.

After dinner, the three Zhaodi sisters were busy clearing the table and dishes. Xue Jinglan also slept for an hour or two in the afternoon and was now wide awake. She pulled Chu Qianqian to the table to play mahjong.

After less than one lap, the three daughters-in-law kicked him off the table again. Chu Xiangqian was really too bullying.

It's all his fault. If this continues, all the pocket money in the hands of Xue Jinglan and the others will be stolen by Chu Xiangqian in just one night.

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to play mahjong in the first place, so he was naturally eager to get off the table.

The excuse was that the Chinese New Year was only a few days away and he had to go out to find connections and prepare more New Year goods.

Xue Jinglan and the others had no doubts and called Zhao Di, who had washed the dishes, to come to the table.

Sisters Pandi and Laidi were watching while they were responsible for pouring tea and getting snacks for everyone.

Chu Qianqian rode his bicycle out, but before leaving, he released Da Zhuang and Hong Niu from the Novice Village.

There are two hunting dogs guarding the house. Unless a large number of people carrying hot weapons come to the door, otherwise a few small thieves will be killed by the two hunting dogs even if they have pistols in their hands.

Chu Qianqian rode his bicycle, wearing a scarf, and walked quickly towards Jingshan Park not far away in the cold wind.

After he rode for a minute, Titmouse had already flown to Beach Street. Seeing the lights on in the small yard over there, and seeing Lou Xiao'e through the window, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but ride his bicycle faster.

In just seven or eight minutes, we arrived at the small courtyard on Beach Street.

After looking around, he simply asked Titmouse to open the wooden bolt from the yard. Chu pushed the bicycle forward and entered the door, closing the door with his backhand.

Then he shouted into the room, "I'm back."

Lou Xiao'e has been counting the days these days, hoping that Chu Qianqian will return to the capital early for the New Year, and Lou Xiao'e doesn't live here all day.

After winter, I still spend more time living with my parents.

Occasionally, when Xu Damao went to the countryside to play movies, he would go back to the courtyard to stay for a few days.

Hearing the voice that he was thinking about in his heart, his face lit up, and he ran out of the house quickly wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

After confirming that the man standing in the yard was really her man, Lou Xiao'e's nose felt sour, and she rushed into Chu Qianqian's arms and hugged his neck tightly.

There was still a bit of crying in his mouth as he complained, "I thought you wouldn't come back for the New Year."

Chu stepped forward and patted Lou Xiao'e on the back, then simply picked her up and walked to the back room.

After some comfort and talking, Lou Xiao'e's face turned red and she felt that Chu Qianqian was holding a sharp weapon.

I couldn't help but think of having an interesting fight.

After that, the chorus naturally took its course, but Lou Xiaoe was not physically strong enough. She only sang for about ten or twenty minutes before she ran out of energy.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care. Anyway, he played three against Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei in the afternoon. Although he won three people by a big score, Chu Xiangqian still killed one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred to himself.

In this case, Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't care about Lou Xiao'e's repeated surrenders.

The two of them stayed together and whispered for a long time, until it was almost 11 o'clock at night, and then they excused themselves by saying that they had just come back today and had to go back and spend the night to avoid worrying about their younger siblings and aunt.

Lou Xiao'e pouted, but did not force Chu to move forward.

After leaving the yard on Shatou Street, Chu turned forward and entered the Novice Village first. He soaked in the fountain pool for more than ten minutes and made sure that he didn't smell like a woman before leaving the Novice Village.

When I almost arrived at the Qianmen Courtyard on my bicycle, I was about to turn a corner and find a dark place to take out meat, fruits, preserved fruits, dried fish, sea fish and other things from Xinshou Village.

But he didn't want to suddenly hear bursts of joy not far away.

Chu Xiangqian frowned immediately. Although there was no curfew these days, there were no people on the streets at 8 or 9 o'clock in the winter.

Not to mention that there are stores that stay open until past 11pm.

After riding a bicycle and taking a closer look, I realized that it was the tavern owned by the woman Xu Huizhen.

The people still drinking in the tavern were not the regulars of the tavern, but Chen Xueru and two sly men, a man and a woman.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and realized that these two people should be Chen Xueru's two polar bear friends.

The polar bear named Vladimir seemed to have pursued Chen Xueru.

As for still drinking so late, Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and guessed that Chen Xueru was planning to purchase some polyester fabrics from Moscow through Vladimir and the polar bear woman named Irina. Polyester fiber was invented as early as 41, but China had to wait until 79 to produce it on its own.

It can be said that at this time, the Chinese people's demand for polyester, which is also translated as "Chenliang" or "Chenliang" in the southern translation, was that as much as there was available could be sold.

Although polar bears can produce, they do not pay attention to light industrial products. Secondly, under the planned economy model, polar bears will basically stop producing after they have produced the planned quantity.

In other words, they actually don’t have enough for themselves, let alone exporting it to other red countries.

However, if it is only a small batch supply, it is relatively simple.

Only a hundred pieces of fabric were needed. Although it was not enough for external sales, it was enough for Chen Xueru to maintain her old relationship.

And the money she earned might be more than what she earned from selling satin and silk for a year.

Chu Qianqian only took a few glances and lost interest. Although Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen were also beautiful, one was almost drunk and turned into a cat with a painted face, and the other was holding a four or five-year-old child in his arms.

Even if you are greedy for other people's bodies, basically few people will do it in this situation.

I rode my bicycle around and took out four baskets in the alley, containing two prepared sika deer, two silly roe deer, two sheep, and two cow hind legs.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the outdoor temperature at night is at least seven or eight degrees below zero.

The meat is hung under the eaves and can be stored for a month or two.

Even if it is placed in the grocery room, at least it will not burn a hot pit in the grocery room, and the temperature will be around zero degrees.

Four baskets were hung on the car and they knocked on the door. Soon Laidi and Pandi ran to the front yard with flashlights and opened the door.

Seeing that Chu Qian's car was full of baskets, the two sisters hurriedly stepped forward to help carry the things.

Not long after, the four of Xue Jinglan who were playing mahjong were also attracted by the whole sheep, sika deer, silly roe deer and cow hind legs.

Among the six women, except for Feifei, who grew up on Hong Kong Island, the others all experienced severe drought and not enough food in China.

Naturally, I know that it is not easy to get so much meat in China at this time.

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "You guys pack your things first. I have to go out once or twice to bring all the equipment back."

Xue Jinglan nodded hurriedly. The capital city is not Hong Kong Island. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, let alone so much meat.

Moreover, this year, more than a dozen members of the Chu family are celebrating the New Year together, and the amount of food they consume every day is quite large if you think about it.

If they open up to eat, just three and a half young men like Ai Guoguo, Ai Min, and Ai Lin might be able to eat three to five kilograms of meat in one meal.

If after a few meals, there would be no meat left, Xue Jinglan felt that she was incompetent as a sister-in-law.

Besides, based on my understanding of Brother Xiang, if the Chu family has it, the Xue family will definitely have it.

She told Chu Qianqian to ride her bicycle more slowly at night. When Chu Qianqian left, Xue Jinglan hurriedly directed the other women to move everything into the cellar in the front yard and lock it.

Ten minutes later, Chu Xiangqian brought another 10 pheasants, 10 hares, and 10 big fish.

1 catties of chestnuts, catties of red dates, and catties of Beijing white pears.

One hundred catties of dried bayberry and one hundred catties of preserved peaches.

One hundred pounds of fresh lychees and cherries came back.

As soon as Xue Jinglan, Gang Sheng and Feifei saw the fresh lychees and cherries, they hurriedly asked Zhao Di to wash the cherries, and then invited Laidi and Pandi to eat lychees.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian say that there were also fresh coconuts and durians, Xue Jinglan immediately wanted to follow Chu Xiangqian and get hundreds of coconuts and durians back.

Ever since I ate durian, it was probably because the durians from Novice Village were all comparable to the best durians in the real world.

Xue Jinglan has gradually become a loyal supporter of durian.

When I was in Hong Kong Island, I always had a bite of durian every three to five days. Unfortunately, the durians sold in the market on Hong Kong Island were basically ripened slowly during transportation.

Although there are also delicious fruits, overall, they are far inferior to the durians in Xinshou Village.

Therefore, Xue Jinglan would always beg Chu Xiangqian every other week to transport more high-quality durians from Southeast Asia.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not refuse such a trivial matter, not to mention that the durians only need to be taken out from the Xinshou Village warehouse, and there is no need to go through such trouble to transport them from Southeast Asia.

I was busy until around 12 o'clock in the morning, filling the cellar in the front yard with food.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian specially transported 500 kilograms of flour and 500 kilograms of corn kernels and piled them in the storage room.

It can be said that this year is the most prosperous year that Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng, and Feifei have ever lived in their lives of 17 or 18 years old.

After going back and forth several times, Chu Qianqian was a little hungry, so he simply cut a lamb hind leg with a knife, and then lit a charcoal fire in a small stove on the stone table in the pavilion in the middle courtyard to roast the lamb leg.

Xue Jinglan and others were so cold that they couldn't bear to go back to the house. Chu Qianqian could only ask each of the three daughters-in-law to put on a cotton coat.

While grilling the meat, he used a small blade to cut off the cooked meat slices piece by piece, then dipped them in salt seasoning and put them in their mouths.

Wait for the three sisters Zhaodi to bring over the opened coconuts and durians.

Chu Xiangqian asked the three sisters to light a stove and roast the mutton themselves.

As I ate, I unknowingly finished all the two hind legs of lamb weighing 7 to 8 kilograms.

And there were 6 Xue Jinglans, and everyone drank at least two coconuts and ate 3 durians.

When they finally cleaned up, not only Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei were a little embarrassed, but the three sisters Zhao Di also had slightly red faces.

They were afraid that the boss, Chu Qianqian, would dislike them for eating too much.

Chu Xiangqian was naturally not so stingy, he just sighed that people these days are really good at eating.

Even after Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong students went to Hong Kong Island, they had no worries about food or drink, but in the end they were still seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, still on the tail end of their long bodies.

It’s actually normal to be able to eat it.

After cleaning up, it was already past 2 o'clock at night. Chu Qianqian hugged Xue Jinglan and slept until past 8 o'clock in the morning.

As for Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei, their voices were almost hoarse when they sang opera yesterday afternoon. They dared to pester Chu Qianqian to sleep with them.

Just sleep in the side hall on the right side of the main room.

If Chu Qianqian drags Xue Jinglan to play a game at night, and Xue Jinglan can no longer hold on anymore, he can also call Hong Kong Sheng and Feifei, who are under the same roof, to help.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian managed 4 women in a row yesterday afternoon and evening. No matter how angry he was, he still had to wait for a day or two.

After Chu Qianqian woke up at around 8 o'clock in the morning, his ears moved and he soon heard that it was snowing outside.

Xue Jinglan in her arms hugged him again like an octopus. Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided to be lazy for a day and stop boxing.

But not long after, there was a knock on the door from the front door of the front yard.
