Chapter 270: Proficiency

With the New Year’s greetings from Qinhuai to send glutinous rice dumplings, the entire Qinjia Village had glutinous rice dumplings.

The name of Sixi Tangtuan also resounded throughout Qinjia Village overnight. Even the children who were still drooling with their fingers would clap their hands and shout about Sixi Tangtuan happily.

In return, Qinhuai received a stack of red envelopes from the villagers. Each red envelope costs not much, basically 5 yuan or 10 yuan, and occasionally one with a huge sum of 20 yuan was included.

Not much money, but the amount is large! When Qin Huai sent the dumplings home and counted the red envelopes, Qin Luo also came back from the little sister who had played well. When Qin Luo returned happily with 12 red envelopes, he was shocked when he saw the two big bags of red envelopes in front of Qin Huai. The first sentence he blurted out was: Where did you buy the red envelopes?

Then the brother and sister count the red envelopes together.

Qin Huai was happy to offer 2,655 yuan in cash.

All of them are change, so you can keep them in the small supermarket in the village to buy ingredients. There is already a store in the village called a small supermarket, but in fact it is a convenience store. It is run by the village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law. It sells everything, mainly selling daily necessities and seasonings.

In previous years, when I was making snacks at home during the New Year in Qinhuai, I asked the village chief’s son to help me purchase ingredients. His family has a van, which makes it easy to buy goods.

On the wonderful New Year’s Eve, I spent the gift of dumplings and red envelopes.

Qinhuai was woken up by the sound of firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the New Year. When he saw it, he found that it was not early at 7 o'clock. I opened the curtains and looked out, and the ground was broken red. Fortunately, Qinhuai had good sleep quality and only woke up when he was awakened.

Otherwise, judging by the thickness of the broken red on the ground, if the quality of sleep is poor, it will be time to get up at around 4 o'clock this morning.

Open the window, full of sulfur smell.

Well, it’s the taste of the New Year!

Qin Huai silently closed the window and stretched his waist towards the sunny day outside the window. I didn’t wear yesterday’s red and furry suit, and that clothes were of no use except for festiveness, and it was inconvenient to work on them.

Yesterday, New Year's Eve, I needed to dress more festively, and the work tasks were not very heavy. I just had a try, all work clothes were the same.

Today is different. Today is the first day of the New Year, and it is a day to formally prepare for proficiency. You can’t be careless and have to change into serious work clothes.

Qin Huai took out Huang Ji's work clothes from the suitcase. It was of the right size, tailored properly, and had a right fit. His chest was embroidered with a name. It was a clothing that only formal workers in Huang Ji's kitchen had, and even an apprentice did not have.

Holding up your phone and pushing open the door, Master Xiao Qin made a brilliant debut on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

"Brother, happy New Year! The breakfast is ready in the pot. Grandma has heated the chicken noodle soup and Sand Buns that I didn't finish yesterday. Aunt Wang came early in the morning and sent eggs back when she saw you were not awake. Wang The poached eggs fried by Aunt are so delicious, I have eaten three of them!" Qin Luo leaned over and held a big sea bowl in his hand, full of longevity noodles.

Qin Huai went outside to wash.

Although Mr. Qin’s house has built a modern kitchen, there is no wash basin for washing. In the morning, when you want to wash your face and brush your teeth, you always use a basin to collect water, take a cup and a toothbrush to wash outside the house, which is famous for getting up early and breathing fresh air.

Qin Luo followed behind Qin Huai with a bowl.

"Brother, what snacks are you doing today? Early this morning, my uncle, second uncle, third uncle, younger uncle, my aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and younger aunt called to pay New Year's greetings and discussed when we would come to us. It will be divided into four days, otherwise there will be too many people and there will be no snacks." As soon as Qin Luo finished speaking, Qin Congwen called to pass by.

"Happy New Year of the Second Uncle! My cousin and others will come to greet my mother tomorrow? It won't work tomorrow, it won't work tomorrow, and it will be better for Huaihuai to get it. Today? It won't work today. Today, it's all the villagers in the village who share the same relationship with each other. Are there many uncles walking around in the village?”

"Huaihuai is awake? There are noodles left in the pot from yesterday. Eat quickly. Luoluo wants to eat it and your grandmother doesn't allow you to." Qin Congwen pulled out his mouth and cared for his son, and then refused, "Yes, Huaihuai just woke up, yesterday It's exhausting to make snacks."

"Sixi Tangtuan. Have you heard of Sixi Tangtuan? It has all been sent to you?! His second uncle, I'll tell you..." Qin Congwen made a phone call and walked further and further away.

Qin Huai silently spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, glanced at the big sea bowl on Qin Luo's hand, and asked, "So what's the general arrangement now?"

Qin Luo started to report his work with his fingers: "Like in previous years, my uncle and aunt must give priority to it, and they will leave the time from the second to the fifth grade of the lunar month."

"This morning my aunt called and said that He Cheng's cousin was going abroad for the eighth day of the day and wanted him to eat something good before going abroad, so my grandmother was in line for their family until the sixth day of the day."

"My uncle and his friends arranged it from the sixth to the tenth day of the lunar month."

"You know, uncle and the others. Grandma is very disliked by them, and is ranked between the eleventh and thirteenth day of the first lunar month. My second uncle is worried that it is too late and you don't want to make snacks and can't get anything, so he called grandma early in the morning. , grandma didn't answer, and now she called dad again, wanting to squeeze forward."

Although the Qin family has few direct relatives, the number of relatives is exaggerated.

Qin Huai's grandfather and grandmother had already passed away before Zhao Rong adopted Qin Huai. Zhao Rong had 4 brothers and 4 sisters, and she was ranked ninth.

It was not until the second year that Qin Huai was adopted by Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen that he recognized his uncle and aunt. Qin Huai's uncle was 22 years older than Zhao Rong. When Qin Huai met his uncle for the first time, he thought it was his grandfather. If Zhao Rong hadn't introduced him quickly enough, the word "grandfather" would have almost called it out.

Mr. Qin has an older brother and an older sister. The older brother has long passed away. His sister has married another place. Both nephews are in the village. Qin Huai came to his house to deliver Sixi Tangtuan yesterday.

There are more relatives on Grandma Qin's side. Grandma Qin is the eldest sister, with four younger brothers and three younger sisters under her. Except for Qin Huai's eldest uncle who died of illness more than 10 years ago, the rest are still alive.

However, Grandma Qin's relationship with these younger brothers and sisters is generally not good. It is said that it is because Grandma Qin was the elder sister who wanted to support her family when she was young. She has a very strong personality and is decisive in her methods. She is very strict in discipline with her younger brothers and sisters, which makes many younger brothers and sisters love her. Resentment.

Later, Qin Congwen and Qin Xiuli were infertile for many years. The most crickets behind them were not the villagers, but Grandma Qin's younger brother and sister. At that time, Grandma Qin still had a fierce personality and never could bear to swallow her anger and went straight to the door, almost breaking her kinship.

In recent years, except for the older sister and younger sister, Grandma Qin has not moved around. Before Qinhuai's skills were amazing, many of Grandma Qin's nephews and nieces didn't even come to greet her during the New Year. Even if she came to visit her, she would not be able to wait until the ninth day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the year. She could only carry two boxes of milk to exchange for two kilograms of vegetarian buns.

As for why it was not Qin Huai who went to his uncle and aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, but his uncle and aunt came to Qin Huai's house to pay New Year's greetings...

The Zhao family said that their Zhao family had the rhythm of the Zhao family.

My younger sister’s family is busy with the New Year and has no time to come to pay New Year’s greetings. My older brothers and sisters are accommodating me. What’s wrong with going to my younger sister’s house to pay New Year’s greetings?

"Brother, let me tell you that this morning I heard my grandparents say that my second uncle and his family..." Qin Luo couldn't wait to share the gossip he had just heard.

Qinhuai listened with relish, serving noodles while listening. The brother and sister sat at the door with noodles, talking and listening.

Qin Huai sometimes feels that he loves to listen to gossip so much. There is a reason why he likes to listen to Dong Shi gossip at work when he is communicating.

There are too many relatives at home. If there are too many relatives, there will be more gossip. When greeting New Year, they will walk around and spread the gossip that has accumulated for a year.

In previous years, when the Chinese New Year was coming, Qin Huai made snacks in the kitchen to make the clouds flow. Qin Luo was dumbfounded when he listened to gossip outside. After he was almost done, he rushed into the kitchen to tell Qin Huai, which made Qin Huai dumbfounded while he was dizzy. After breakfast, Aunt Wang came again.

Come to work.

Qin Huai was very moved to see Aunt Wang so enthusiastic about work. Qinhuai had long planned to focus on practicing Sixi Tangtuan during the Chinese New Year, and the ingredients had been prepared long ago.

Aunt Wang started chopping the meat as soon as she picked up the kitchen knife, and started boiling sugar as soon as the Qinhuai pot was heated. Soon, last night, the villagers who directly hired the boss arrived one after another, each performing their own duties, and the configuration was much higher than that of New Year's Eve.

Those who burn fire are not distant relatives like the third and sixth aunts. They are recognized as fire-burning experts in the village and professional fire-burning workers.

Batch after batch of Sixi Tangtuans were born.

People who often make snacks know that if you only make one snack, the production speed can be very fast.

Soon, the first big bowl filled with Sixi Tangtuan was full.

The second one is full.

Seeing that the third basin was full, Qin Huai took the time to yell at the outside: "Grandma, are the guests coming to your house? Don't let the guests go back empty-handed, decorate the dumplings for everyone and take them away!"

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

This sentence is the secret code of the Qin family, indicating that Qinhuai has made enough estimates, and the extra ones can be distributed to the lucky neighbors who come to the door.

When the lucky neighbors almost screamed with excitement when they heard the word "Don't" ding chunk.

At this time, someone may ask, didn’t the villagers in Qinjia Village eat Sixi Tangtuan last night? Not so excited.

It is like this. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers walk around each other. The scope of the villagers is very wide. It not only includes Qinjia Village, but also the next village, next village, next town, and the same county. If you want to leave, you can be from the village.

Mr. Qin and Grandma Qin have brothers and sisters, and their parents have brothers and sisters. They really talk about it, so there are not many relatives who can explain their relationship clearly.

These relatives are not as confident as close relatives such as uncles, aunts, cousins, and cousins. They can not only come to pay New Year's greetings, but also make appointments to pay New Year's greetings to dinner. But it is really considered a relative. It is reasonable to carry two boxes of milk and a pack of dry fungus, and it is easy to walk around at home.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Qin and Grandma Qin left it specifically for these distant relatives to walk around. There is no guarantee that they can get snacks, but they will definitely not get one if they don’t come to the door. They didn't want the gifts they brought to the house. In previous years, Mr. Qin and Grandma Qin were willing to collect some fruits, but this year, there were too many fruits at home and they didn't want to collect them.

A Qinhuai man who brought fruits to his house in the past two years did not catch the good time, and did not get snacks, but only got a box of milk for return gifts. This year, he picked up the fruits and found that the Qin family really didn't want fruits, so he was already desperate. An unknown distant relative who secretly cried in his heart left tears of excitement after hearing Qin Huai's words.

Family members, hard work is rewarding, and persistence is effective!

He knew that even if he was just the son of Qinhuai's second cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's cousin's, he really didn't know what kind of relative he should be from Qinhuai, but because he lived in the next village, he was close to him. Therefore, every morning, I can come to the Qin family to pay New Year's greetings every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In recent years, I have insisted on bringing fruits to my house. Even if others still don't know who he is, it is useful to bring fruits to my house!

Sixi Tangtuan, isn’t that going to catch up!

I went to the Qin family to pay New Year's greetings at 11 a.m., and the news of the Sixi Tangtuan broadcast caused a sensation in the Qin family's distant relatives.

In previous years, even if there were a few lucky people who could get the snacks they took away on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was usually in the afternoon.

Many people have breakfast in the morning to set off, and then chat until the afternoon.

If there are too many people, go out to chat.

As long as it is a little bit kinship, it is not outrageous, the Qin family will take care of two buns, and they can't let everyone go back hungry on New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The reason why that unknown relative didn't even get a bun in the past two years was because it was a bit too unrelated to the kinship.

Combined with the Sixi Tangtuan last night, the news sent by the whole village, many people living nearby smelled the unusual this year.

People from nearby villages immediately took action and did not intend to come to the Qin family to join in this lively New Year's Day family, and they all looked for gifts suitable for visiting New Year's greetings at home.

Anyway, you have nothing to do, so it’s better to try your luck in the past.

I saw that there were so many people coming, thinking that my home was a big pot, and it was very convenient to cook Sixi Tangtuan in a big pot. Although the main method of making Sixi Tangtuan is to adjust the filling and proficiency, cooking Sixi Tangtuan can also improve the proficiency of the heat. After the dumplings are packed for a long time, you have to cook a few pots to change your mood. Qin Huai simply cooked two large pots and distributed them directly to the Distant relatives who come to their home to pay New Year's greetings.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough bowls at home, so you can borrow them from the village.

On the first day of the New Year, I brought up the Wangwang gift pack that I originally bought for my children. I came to the Qin family to pay New Year's greetings. As soon as I entered the door, I handed out a bowl of four glutinous rice dumplings, one bowl of four full pieces. After one bite, I felt delicious to the spot. He didn't know what kind of relative he was, but the villagers who simply lived in the next village were shocked.

So, is this what it feels like to celebrate the New Year?

The villagers didn't expect that they were 47 years old, and they could still feel the joy of going to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year when they were young, and the villagers who were rich and enthusiastic at home were stuffed with peanuts.

The villagers looked at the people who were holding bowls outside the yard and chatting while holding them, and reluctantly drank some soup after eating. They only felt that today was the lively New Year's Day.

It's really right!

"Put the bowl here after eating, don't put it randomly." The neighbor's aunt also found work for herself, and by the way, found work for her children-

Wash the dishes.

This is a good job. The Sixi Tangtuan for the whole family supper tonight pointed at the bowls the children were washing.

The villagers held the bowl and didn't know who to chat with, so they found someone who spoke the most and stood next to him and started listening to gossip.

There was a little girl standing in front of him who was obviously studying, holding a big bowl in her hand, listening very seriously.

In the room, Grandma Qin walked out with the counted notebook and grabbed a distant relative who she knew who was really a distant relative:

"Xiuping, tell the people who came later that they should not bring fruits. This year, there are really many fruits at home that can't be finished. A friend of Huaihuai sent dozens of boxes of fruits to come."

"As long as it's not fruit, anything is OK."

"By the way, do you know who knows who knows how to chop meat? I will introduce two. It's not enough to help Huaihuai, so the introduction fee is two bags of glutinous rice dumplings."
