Chapter 35 The New Year's Eve (1)
At the end of the year, every household has prepared special purchases for the New Year, preparing for a good year.Li Ran has also been busy in the past few days to liquidate the surplus of the shops in the town for the past month or so, earning more than 1000 taels after excluding their respective costs.

Li Ran counted it several times, and it was really more than 1000 taels, and then counted the money several times under Li Heng's cold gaze.

On New Year's Eve, the inside and outside of the house have already been cleaned up.

Because today is New Year's Eve, Li Ran and Li Heng need to go to the old house to worship their ancestors at night, and spend the festival with Uncle Chen at home at noon.

At noon, Li Ran also cooked spicy fish, double-cooked pork, boiled pork, boiled chicken, etc., which are his specialty Sichuan dishes. Aunt Li also made Buddha jumping over the wall, braised pig's trotters in sauce, braised pork, etc., a total of more than [-] dishes.

A large table of dishes, full of flavor and color.

Li Ran went to invite Su Bai to eat at home, not wanting him to spend the New Year at home alone.

Putting the two square tables together, Li Ran thought that since there were few people in the family, it would be more like a reunion. Regardless of the other words of superiority or inferiority, sitting together, a total of thirteen people had a great time eating.

After lunch, Li Ran took out the ten purses he had already prepared, as well as a large box of new clothes. Chen Shun and Chen Yun gave him a bonus of ten taels of silver, old Liu Tou and others a bonus of seven taels of silver, and others All of them are five taels of bonuses, and two new sets of clothes for each person.

"In the purse is the bonus that was promised to you when you came to me. Everyone is different, and it is determined according to what you have done. In the last month or so, everyone was exhausted. Everyone has worked hard. , when the family situation gets better next year, there will be more bonuses. Of course, everyone should maintain the current state, and I will not treat you badly." Li Ran imitated the way of a modern boss and said polite words, although he did not understand The art of controlling people, but as long as you treat others well, there will always be rewards. If this is not enough, it can only mean that you are really not destined for it.

"Thank you, girl." Everyone took the purse with smiles on their faces.

Li Ran continued, "Everyone should have a good rest. We will start supplying Fumanyuan on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and our store will reopen on the sixteenth day after the Lantern Festival. So for the next time, Uncle Liu, remember to keep the temperature of the greenhouse. All right."

"Girl, now there is another crop of cabbage and greens in the shed that is already very big, should we let it continue to grow or..." Old Liu thought about the batch of vegetables he had planted earlier.

"Approximately how many?" Li Ran wondered whether to make sauerkraut.

"It's about three or four hundred catties." Old Liu Tou roughly calculated.

Li Ran thought for a while, "Then pick it off in a few days, and we can make sauerkraut."

"What is sauerkraut?" Aunt Li and the others didn't know what sauerkraut was.

"It's similar to the pickled vegetables you make, but the sauerkraut is soaked in jars. Aunt Li, please wash and dry the empty jars first. I will teach you how to make them in a few days. In the past few days, everyone Just take a good rest first." Li Ran thought about taking out some to give to acquaintances, "By the way, you give the fresh vegetables stored in our cellar to Uncle Zhu and others who help our greenhouse work Send some."

After Old Liu agreed, he took a few others and went out first.

After finishing his work, Su Bai said that he was going home first.

Li Ran was a little bit reluctant, and pulled Su Bai to sit on the sofa beside him, "What are you rushing home for, I don't know how to eat people."

You let me, a 12-year-old girl, take the initiative, Su Bai, how embarrassing are you.

"You guys are going to the old house later, so I'll go back first. If I stay at your house for a long time, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation if others find out." Su Bai thought that he should be careful when going out later.
