After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 444 Happy New Year

Zhou Chenglei and the others each had a large bucket of fresh fish in front of them.

A group of people surrounded them, rushing to buy.

Such fresh grouper is relatively rare.

The fresher the fish, the more delicious it is.

The wages of people in the city are relatively high, and there are many wealthy people. I am still willing to spend ten or eight yuan on a good fish for New Year's Eve dinner.

So many people gathered around and rushed to buy.

Father Zhou used his net bag to pick up a gargi fish weighing about eighty taels per catty, and shouted loudly: "Who wants the gargi fish weighing more than eighty taels per catty, the minimum price is four yuan? There is only one left! The last one!" Eat Jiaji fish during the Chinese New Year, and the new Jiaji will bring you good luck and good fortune. You will have plenty every year and make a lot of money!”

"Four dollars, I want it!"

"Four dollars and ten cents, I want it!"

"Four dollars and two cents, I want it!"

…

In the end, the fish was sold for five yuan and fifty cents.

Several other people also hawked like Father Zhou.

Zhou Chengsen held an abalone: ​​"Abalone, eight-headed abalone, the lowest price is one yuan! Who wants it? The one with the highest price will get it! Eat abalone during the Chinese New Year, and I guarantee you will have fish every year!"

Jiang Dong held up a lobster and shouted: "Lobster, a pound of blue dragon, only costs ten yuan. Who wants it? The one with the highest price will get it! Only one! Only one! Eat prawns during the New Year, and you will be energetic in the coming year and live longer than Nanshan Mountain!"

Zhou Chenglei had previously asked Jiang Dong to come to the pier around ten o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve to pick up some seafood and take it home for New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Dong arrived at nine o'clock, so he simply stayed to help hawk.

There were so many people coming to the pier to buy seafood today. More than two hundred fish were sold out in less than two hours.

After selling the fish, Zhou Chenglei bought a large lobster, six four-headed abalone, a large yellow croaker and a rat grouper, as well as several kilograms of prawns, several kilograms of golden thread fish, a large mackerel, fresh squid, octopus, etc. The seafood was packed in two buckets and given to Jiang Dong: "Take it home to eat, and we're going home too."

"This is too much!" Jiang Dong didn't want to take so much.

How can you finish two big buckets?

Zhou Chenglei: "Eat the live ones today and put the rest in the refrigerator to eat later. Go back quickly! I've gone back too, and your sister is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

When Jiang Dong heard this, he said: "Brother-in-law, please go back quickly!"

Alas, his sister got married, and there was one less person at the family’s New Year’s Eve dinner this year.

Jiang Dong carried two large buckets of fish back to the car and left.

Zhou Chenglei also returned to the boat and sailed away.

On the way home, Zhou Chenglei dragged another net.

Unexpectedly, I also caught more than ten kilograms of shrimps, dozens of kilograms of golden thread fish, a few mackerels, a few yellowtails, a few squid, and some other miscellaneous fish.

Zhou Chenglei quickly divided the fish. He didn't sell these anymore. He kept them all in the refrigerator and ate them slowly.

Return to the village dock and hand over the remaining twenty fish to the acquisition office.

All the fish in the cages are sold out.

A total of 276 fish were sold for 1,484 yuan. In addition, the abalone was sold for more than 200 yuan, and there was only one lobster, which was sold for 15 yuan.

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin each received five hundred, giving Zhou's father three hundred, Zhou Chengsen one hundred, and Zhou Yongguo and Zhou Kangping each forty.

Zhou Chengsen didn't want it and gave it to Zhou's father.

He usually does nothing, but he is here to help tonight. How can he collect money?

The father and son couldn't wait to go home.

Smoke curls from every household, and there are crackling fireworks and firecrackers everywhere, both in the distance and nearby.

It was children playing firecrackers and fireworks in the fields, on the village roads, and in front of their homes.

In the new house, Jiang Xia is in charge, Zhou's mother, Tian Caihua, and Li Xiuxian are the assistants.

On such a big day, Li Xiuxian couldn't be lazy even if she wanted to.

Jiang Xia gave her the important task of killing chickens and geese early in the morning.

The Zhou family's father and son came back with fish and immediately joined the party for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhou Chengsen gave a bucket of seafood to Li Xiuxian: "Take care of it."

Li Xiuxian rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

You had a fight on New Year's Eve and don't want to have a good time next year?

Zhou Chenglei washed his hands, came to Jiang Xia, and took the spatula from her hand.

Zhou Chengsen gave the fish to Li Xiuxian, went back to his old house, changed his clothes, and came over to help kill the fish.

Zhou Chengxin was ordered by Tian Caihua to cut firewood. You can't use the knife on the first day of the new year. You will burn a lot of firewood cooking today, so you have to prepare some.

Father Zhou invited his children to post Spring Festival couplets together.

Father Zhou was responsible for posting all the Spring Festival couplets on the big house, the old house, and the new house.

After posting the couplets and worshiping the gods, Zhou's father also set off a bunch of big firecrackers.

The New Year's Eve dinner started with the sound of firecrackers.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous.

Steamed abalone with garlic, boiled fish, steamed large yellow croaker, boiled shrimp, garlic green dragon, braised pork, braised goose, braised lamb with carrots, white-cut chicken, braised squab, steamed egg with sea cucumber, fried shrimp with pine nuts and red peas Radish, rice pudding, fried squid with chili, fried crab with rice cake, garlic lettuce.

There are sixteen dishes in total.

During the meal, Jiang Xia said to the children: "Whoever can tell the meaning of these dishes will be rewarded by my little aunt! Every time you tell one, you will get a red envelope."

Several children immediately rushed to point to the dishes in front of them and said loudly: "This is for fortune (steamed abalone with garlic) and good luck (boiled Jiaji fish fillet)..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"This is Golden Wanliang (steamed large yellow croaker), Flowers are blooming and rich (boiled shrimp arranged like peonies)..."

"The spirit of the dragon and horse (six little green dragons), the good fortune (braised pork)..."

“Great luck (white-cut chicken), Jinyumantang (fried shrimps with pine nuts, peas and carrot cubes)…”

“Zhengshengrishang (steamed sea cucumbers with eggs), fried crabs with rice cakes (rising every year)…”

…

Several children racked their brains to think of some auspicious words while looking at the Chunhui posted in the room.

At the end, there is still the braised lamb with carrots and garlic lettuce.

Father Zhou pointed to the remaining two and asked, "Where are these two? Who can name these two? Grandpa will give you a big red envelope!"

Several children began to watch Chunhui again, and missed what every household had posted on the Spring Festival couplets.

Zhou Zhou thought for a while and said: "Being joyful, harmony brings wealth!"

Father Zhou said happily: "Haha, Zhou Zhou said it well! Grandpa will give you three big red envelopes later! The New Year is here! The whole family just wants to be happy, harmonious, and make a fortune in the New Year!"

Then Father Zhou gave everyone a piece of lettuce.

The lettuce is washed whole and cut into several pieces. It is a harmonious and green mess.

In the new year, Father Zhou has nothing to look forward to. He just hopes that his children will be in harmony.

If you are harmonious, united and joyful, then you have everything!

…

After dinner, the family sat in the room and watched TV.

The adults gave the children lucky money one after another.

Jiang Xia will reward everyone who just said the meaning of the dish with a red envelope.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei gave the children a red envelope, and a series of auspicious words came out from the children.

In the end, Zhou Wenzu really couldn't think of it and said: "My little aunt will make a fortune in the new year and give birth to a son early in the new year!"

"Hahaha…"

The laughter in the room never stopped.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother give New Year's money to every child, including adults.

Li Xiuxian took the red envelope from the two elders and found that it was a big stack. If each one was a sign of unity, it would cost several hundred!

She said with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Happy New Year, Mom and Dad, and be healthy!"

After handing out the new year's money, Zhou Chenglei took out a large bag of fireworks and took the children with Jiang Xia to set off fireworks on the beach.

There are already many adults and children setting off fireworks and firecrackers on the beach.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei stood aside and watched the children play.

The fireworks of this era were not brilliant enough, but the laughter was particularly loud.

Amidst the laughter, Zhou Chenglei quickly kissed Jiang Xia while no one was paying attention.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Jiang Xia quietly took his hand and clasped his fingers tightly.
