Chapter 499 Laba
Jiang Yang and Meng Wanqiu returned to Rongcheng.

The two separated, Jiang Yang wanted to go back to his small shop and continue to operate, and Meng Wanqiu wanted to continue to run the restaurant.

She specially sent someone to sign a cooperation agreement with Jiang Dingzhou.

Although the problem of the ingredients has been solved, the problem of the restaurant has not been solved.

The follow-up profit issue needs to be solved by Meng Wanqiu alone.

Even if Jiang Yang wanted to help with this matter, he couldn't help much.

If a restaurant wants to stand upright, it needs a master chef to support it.

A restaurant without a culinary master can only be said to be a higher-end restaurant, and it will never be called a restaurant by people in the industry.

Jiang Yang is now only a first-class chef, not yet a culinary master. If he wants to fundamentally solve the problem of Meng Wanqiu Restaurant, Jiang Yang can't do it now.

As for restaurant management, Jiang Yang believed that Meng Wanqiu was better at it than him.

After leaving for several days, the small shop also closed for a few days.

Many people complained, but everyone got used to it.

…………

Chang Hui sat on the street, he couldn't understand why things turned out like this?
Lost her job, Jiang Yixia couldn't be contacted, and spent all her money.

Without the free board and lodging provided by the restaurant, it is now difficult for Chang Hui to survive.

He hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he was penniless...he didn't even have money to buy a steamed bun.

He has been working for more than three years, but he has not saved a single penny.Basically, the monthly salary will not be left.

Sitting on the street, Chang Hui couldn't help swallowing his saliva while looking at the bread eaten by passers-by.This kind of food that he usually doesn't like, now exudes a strange temptation.

Until now, Chang Hui still couldn't figure out why all the bad things seemed to happen to him at the same time.

He hates, hates the unfairness of this world, why should he suffer, and why should others be born to enjoy happiness.

It's all those people, and it's all their fault.

Chang Hui suddenly didn't want to stay in Shanghai anymore. This city he once yearned for so much has now become his sad place.

He once thought that he was born extraordinary and would stand out in the devil city, but the reality told him that all of this is your delusion!You are very ordinary, and you have no place to stand out among the crowd.

Jiang Dingzhou drank his coffee silently, watching the lights of the magic city dim.

Chang Hui's unemployment was naturally his fault.For a person who deceived his daughter like this, how could Jiang Dingzhou let him go so easily.

Not only would it make him unemployed, but most of the restaurants in Shanghai would not accept Chang Hui.For this reason, Jiang Dingzhou used many contacts and owed a lot of favors.

It's all worth it.

Jiang Dingzhou thought silently.

Those who dare to bully his daughter, even if they give everything, can't make him feel better.

Jiang Yixia recently began to take the initiative to contact Jiang Dingzhou's company's business, and Jiang Dingzhou was also very happy about it.

In the past, Jiang Yixia only knew how to play, and her personality was extremely innocent, otherwise she would not be deceived by Chang Hui.

Now Jiang Yixia has grown a lot, and Jiang Dingzhou is very happy about it.

Perhaps, in the future, Jiang Yixia will succeed Jiang Dingzhou and become a strong woman, and she will eventually meet the one who really belongs to her...

…………

Jiang Yang didn't know about Chang Hui's ending, and he wasn't interested in knowing. People who play with other people's feelings in an attempt to profit from it are not worthy of sympathy.

The store is open as usual.

Three days later is Laba Festival.

Jiang Yang is preparing for this.

After Laba is the New Year.

The Laba Festival can be said to be an important festival before the Chinese New Year.After the Laba Festival, the taste of the New Year began to gradually become stronger.

There are many sayings about the Laba Festival, and the customs and habits are also different.

Just talk about eating.

On the day of the Laba Festival, some places eat Laba porridge, some eat Laba garlic, and some eat Laba vinegar, eat ice, Laba tofu, Laba noodles, wheat kernel rice and so on.

These meals all entrust people's most simple wish for a better year ahead. Although they have different sayings, the meanings are similar.

The dish that Jiangyang prepares to cook is the most widely spread Laba porridge.

Laba porridge is also called Qibao five-flavor porridge. As for the origin and allusions, there are more than one theory.

One is that the ancient emperors would sacrifice and pray on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The sacrifice was to the Eight Valley Star God, and the dried food was used. The dried food was called Laba, so it was also called Laba.In order to pray for good weather in the coming year and ensure a good agricultural harvest, we prayed, which is called Laba Zhu or Waba Zhu, which sounds the same as porridge. So on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, dry vegetables and fruits were mixed together and cooked into porridge. Dedicated to the god of agriculture to express the meaning of celebrating the harvest.

There is another saying that comes from Buddhism, so it is also called Qibao Wuwei Porridge. (For specific details, interested book lovers can search for allusions by themselves.)
There are too many legends about Laba porridge.

Laba porridge has been made as early as the seventh day of the lunar new year and is eaten on the day of Laba.

The choice of ingredients is different and different.But the main thing is to gather eight different ingredients and boil them together, and the eight ingredients also correspond to the meaning of Laba.

According to "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji Laba Porridge": "For Laba porridge, use yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red river beans, peeled jujube paste, etc., boil them in boiling water, and use red peach kernels and almonds for external use. , melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar, and grapes, for dyeing."

Of course, Laba porridge has developed to this day, and it is no longer one or two ways.

Jiang Yang went out to select the ingredients and prepared them for cooking tomorrow.

The reason why Jiang Yang still makes it is because it is one of the ways he misses his parents.

Jiang Yang tried his best to maintain the living habits when his parents were still there, whether it was morning jogs or traditional festivals.

In the past, whenever the Laba Festival came, my father would always get up early on the seventh day of the lunar new year and go to the vegetable market to find ingredients for Laba porridge.

Red beans, peanuts, walnuts, and red dates are all the ingredients for my father to make Laba porridge. The ingredients will change every year. Peanuts may be replaced by barley, and walnuts may be replaced by millet seeds...

But what remains unchanged is the smile of parents every year.

Therefore, Jiang Yang makes Laba porridge every year, as if his father's voice and smile can still be seen in the fireworks.

Over the past year, he has experienced too much, and it is more exciting than his previous years.

Become a chef, gradually become a chef in people's eyes, and even won the championship of the National Youth Cooking Competition.The small restaurant has also changed from unknown to the current Internet celebrity shop.

Ready to cook Laba porridge again, Jiang Yang's heart is different from the previous years.

With the ingredients ready, Jiang Yang quietly waited for tomorrow.

Aunt Deng got off work earlier today, and she has to go home to prepare Laba porridge. This is the most simple expectation from the depths of her soul, and she looks forward to a better next year.

The New Year is just around the corner, the streets are gradually decorated with lights, and the flavor of the New Year is gradually getting stronger.
