Rebirth of Business Domination of the Two Worlds

Chapter 54
On the 28th of the new year, Mo Mo's parents flew home from the imperial capital in a hurry, their faces were slightly tired.

The next day, Mo Mo's family went to the town's market to buy new year's goods.

It's a small town, but it's just a few streets, but during Chinese New Year, villagers from nearby villages come to the market for shopping.

Now, as far as the eye can see, there are so many people on the street that vehicles cannot enter the street at all, so they have to park their cars outside the market for no reason.

A 200-meter-long street is full of street stalls selling New Year's goods, agricultural specialties that cannot be bought in the city, and some urbanites even drive to the villages and towns to buy New Year's goods.

In Mo Mo's hometown, people like to make big rice dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Northerners probably have never seen big rice dumplings before, so they would ask curiously, "It's so big, how do you cook it? How do you eat it?"

The size of the rice dumplings made by each family is different, and the larger the family, the bigger the size.The general method is to cut the selected streaky pork into small strips, add three-flower wine, five-spice powder, refined salt and other condiments, half a catty of glutinous rice, and two or three liang of shelled mung beans, and wrap them in the middle with zong leaves. , and finally tie the zong leaves with hemp rope.

Mo Mo's family didn't buy many New Year's goods, mainly things to make rice dumplings, a few chickens, a few catties of beef, couplets, fireworks and firecrackers, etc.

After the family bought the New Year's goods, they returned home and were busy preparing for the New Year.

Because of the climate and customs, southerners are mostly good cooks, and they can still ensure that the food is delicious in color, flavor and taste. The food in the north and the south has its own characteristics. It is hard to say who is the best, but most northerners will say that southerners can cook.

Mo Yao can also be regarded as half a cook, and he can also help cook when anyone in the village organizes weddings and weddings.He was busy frying the meat, Ning Lanxin and Grandma Mo Mo made rice dumplings, Mo Wanqing helped tie the rope, and Mo Mo occasionally joined in the fun to help out, and the family showed a pure Chinese local flavor.

New Year's Eve night.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the two families of Mo Hua and Mo Yao have a New Year’s Eve dinner together. It’s the same as in previous years. The difference may be that both families have money, the wine is better, and the rest is the same.Mo Mo also doesn't like to eat abalone fishbone, and he doesn't like to have New Year's Eve dinner in the hotel.I still feel more at home.

Mo Mo didn't know if there was such a thing as Chinese New Year in the other world. Anyway, Shi Wu had never heard of it, saying that the harvest season is a day of celebration.

In the past few days, Mo Mo doesn't plan to go to another world, he really wants to live a relaxing life.

Although Mo Mo didn't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala, he also wanted to recall some big events through the Spring Festival Gala, not to mention that it was rare to chat with his family and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

In the lobby, several women gathered around the dining table to make rice dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala.A few grown men were sitting on the sofa, smoking, watching TV, and chatting. Mo Mo stayed away from the smoking area, leaning on the sofa, crossing his arms, interjecting a few words from time to time.

At 40:[-], after listening to Zhang Xueyou's song "The Age of Innocence", Mo Mo felt sleepy, so he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep with his head covered.

When the bell rang, it was just past the hour.

Near twelve o'clock, the villagers of Gaochao Village set off firecrackers and fireworks in advance.Mo Mo slept soundly, and the sound of firecrackers couldn't wake him up.

"Son, wake up! Get up to set off fireworks, your father is about to set off firecrackers!" Ning Lanxin didn't see her son get up, fearing that he would miss the fireworks time, she went into the room and patted his quilt and shouted.

Mo Mo opened his hazy eyes, and before he lifted the quilt, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the village, and said in a daze, "Come here!"

Mo Mo came to the yard and saw that his father had lit firecrackers in the yard. The crackling sound of firecrackers was so crisp and loud in the quiet village.His sister covered her ears and hid away, and ran directly into the house.

Seeing her sister's distress, Mo Mo laughed out loud.The sound of thunderous firecrackers also woke him up. Looking at the night sky lit up by the fireworks, the joyful expressions of his parents, happiness also overflowed from his heart and flowed through his whole body.

This is what a new year looks like.

After setting off the firecrackers, Mo Wanqing impatiently took out the fireworks and placed them in the yard.

The family didn't buy many fireworks, and it only cost a hundred yuan. It was all caused by his sister's arrogance. In previous years, it was he who made the arrogance.

"Little brother, are you here to light the fireworks?" Mo Wanqing turned to ask her younger brother while holding the lit Buddha incense.

"Come on, I can't run fast!" Mo Mo said with a smile.

"Hmph, do you want some?" Mo Wanqing pursed her lips triumphantly, and when she squatted down and was about to light the fire, Mo Mo yelled "Pa", which made her jump away from the fireworks, trembling with fright. , The Buddha incense was thrown away directly, which caused the family to laugh.

Mo Wanqing patted her small chest, turned her head and glared at her younger brother, and said angrily, "I'm scared to death! Don't shout, okay?" After speaking, she picked up the Buddhist incense that she had just thrown away.

Mo Mo didn't scare her sister this time, seeing her running away at any time, but she was a little scared, and the weather was a little cold, her hands were shaking, she took the Buddha incense and lit it a few times but didn't hit the fire. After 1 minute, The Buddha incense she was holding had just struck the line of fire, and as soon as she saw the fire ignited, she ran away immediately.

After the flash, Mo Wanqing shouted joyfully when the fireworks suddenly exploded, brightening the entire sky.

Mo Mo watched her sister bouncing around setting off fireworks, and was happy for her.

That's what his sister is doing.

Mo Mo looked up at the sky, and the dazzling fireworks disappeared quickly. He sighed: "Fireworks are fleeting, but beauty is easy to grow old."

Mo's mother saw that her son was still happy just now, she sighed just now, and asked curiously: "Son, what's the matter? It's Chinese New Year, sigh, you liked to set off firecrackers last year, and this year you have money to buy fireworks. How dare you?" I don't like letting it go."

"Mom, I'm fine." Mo Mo didn't know why, but felt that he suddenly lost interest in setting off fireworks. Maybe he had seen a lot in his previous life, but now he is feeling emotional again.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily good, but trouble.

He is only 12 years old, it seems that he has lost the fun of childhood, which is really sad!

After the fireworks were set off, Mo Mo lost his sleepiness. He saw his mother cooking rice dumplings in the kitchen, so he went over to have a look.

The stove is made of random red bricks, and there is an extra-large old-fashioned aluminum pot on it. The pot is full of rice dumplings, and the lid will not cover it. .

"It's only been boiled for an hour, the water just boiled, and the rice dumplings have to be boiled for seven hours before they are cooked. You can eat them after you go back to sleep." Mo's mother put down the overburned match, and faced her son with a gentle face smile.

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry, come here and enjoy the fire." Mo Mo moved a small stool, sat by the stove, stretched out his hands to get warm, and chatted with his mother.Nearly two catties of rice dumplings have to be boiled for six or seven hours to cook, at least the glutinous rice is boiled without rice grains.

In fact, he doesn't like eating zongzi either. He just tries something new every Chinese New Year. If he eats too much, he will get tired.

"Son, have you been gambling with stones recently?" The mother and son chatted for half an hour, Ning Lanxin asked everything, and told him about the imperial capital.

"I haven't been there recently. I plan to go to Pingzhou after the Chinese New Year. If I can make money, I can buy some new houses." Mo Mo just gave his mother an ambiguous answer.

The housing prices in the imperial capital have stopped falling, and there is a slight upward trend. If he doesn’t buy any more, if the lending policies of banks in various places are fully implemented, and those real estate speculators can borrow money, the housing prices will skyrocket.
