Chapter 144 New Year's Eve
Chapter 144 New Year’s Eve
Today is New Year's Eve and I go to work normally.
Li Wenkai went to the repair shop and found that there was no car repair, so he ordered all the personnel to go home from get off work.
"Remember to come to your house to celebrate the New Year together at night." Li Wenkai wore a hard hat, started his motorcycle, took the cover and followed Li Guangyuan, Wei Jianan and the other two.
"Okay." said the two.
"You have everything at home, don't bring anything, remember." Li Wenkai emphasized again.
"Okay, let's clean up before going back." Li Guangyuan said.
The six people immediately cleaned up, while Li Wenkai rode a black water-cooled prince heavy motorcycle toward his master's house with a loud bang.
Now Li Wenkai's 28th bar has been left to his eldest apprentice Shen Zhengjun. Now the two have moved to Li Wenkai's dormitory, which is beyond the control of his parents. At night, they studied the "Engine Structure and Principles" given by the master together. Li Wenkai also inspected the two and studied well.
When I arrived at Qinmencang Hutong, the master’s South Street in Dongzhimen, there was a long tail behind me. Grandpa Niu’s grandson still jumped on the back and followed Li Wenkai back to the slum.
"Is Xiao Li coming?" Zhou Sanniu said with a smile when he saw his grandson sitting behind him.
The naughty child jumped down excitedly, pouted to his grandfather and said what he had just experienced while learning the sound of the motorcycle.
"Yes, come here to pick up the master today to celebrate the New Year." Li Wenkai said, driving the car under the eaves, the master came out, and the two walked into the house.
The neighbors all came out to look at Li Wenkai's motorcycle and pointed at it.
"This motorcycle is so beautiful, like a small car. I have never seen such a big motorcycle."
"I don't know which country imported this."
"It's not domestically produced anyway."
"Mr. Grandpa is lucky now. He has accepted such a rich apprentice. Today he came to take over the New Year together. I heard that Xiao Li bought a three-entry yard at Donghuamen, which is very big."
Inside the house.
Li Wenkai helped the master clean up his clothes, put the water cup for rinsing his mouth in a bag, and also took the bowls and chopsticks that the master often used.
Installed on the tricycle and leaving the courtyard, the master drove the tricycle in front, and Li Wenkai was riding a motorcycle with his feet behind, slowly driving.
When they got home, the three of them went out to buy things together.
The little sister rode her own mountain bike, the master rode her own three-wheeled bike, and Li Wenkai rode her own motorcycle, and each of the three came to the vegetable market.
I bought some coriander, potatoes, etc., fat fish heads, and a pound of crucian carp. The fish is used to make soup, and then buy half a pound of tofu.
I also bought a few chickens, live fish, pork belly, some fragrant bamboo and other offerings for ancestor worship.
Li Wenkai's incense burner was already invited when his father was alive.
I went to a state-owned store to buy some braised meat and bj roast duck.
Vegetables, fruits, fish and meat are put in the master's tricycle and go home.
There are 8 boxes of big flower sunflower that I organized last time to open a box, and half of them were taken back, leaving 10 bottles left.
When Li Wenkai returned home, he opened the classic version of the movie "Journey to the West", which is the most suitable for the elderly and children to watch together.
The grandparents and grandsons watched.
Soon, Shan Zhenghao also came over. He originally wanted to continue watching yesterday's "Brother Tangshan", but when he saw that the old man in front of him was Brother Kai's master, and with Sister Xiaowan there, he didn't have to think about it, so he started watching it, and he gradually became attracted to this view.
Not long after watching, Li Wenkaila went to work as a coolie to clean the house.
"It's rare to have some sun today. Hurry up and take out some stools, chairs, tables to wash, otherwise the New Year's guests will come and see it and say we are lazy and not suitable."
"Brother Kai, why are you single? Besides, people often say that they are women at home. What do you say, "Dayuan Sister is still so young, so I won't say you." Shan Zhenghao said while cleaning the furniture.
Soon the two apprentices also came back and were immediately called by Shan Zhenghao, "Hurry up, go to watch "Journey to the West" after washing." Shan Zhenghao pricked up his ears and listened to the sound coming from the west wing, feeling anxious.
The two followers Shan Zhenghao are different. They are Li Wenkai's apprentices. It is worth helping with housework during the Chinese New Year and holidays. Soon, brothers came here one after another, and they were all pulled by Shan Zhenghao to do housework together.
More than a dozen people cleaned the house in less than an hour.
They often do these jobs, and when they are young, they start to clean glass at school and take turns on duty to clean them. They are very familiar with these basic housework.
After finishing the work, the rewards have to be given. Everyone sits in the west wing and watches "Journey to the West".
"Sister Xiaowan, what episode is this?" Shan Zhenghao asked weakly as he looked at Li Wenwan.
"The second episode, "Official Bi Ma Wen"" said the younger sister.
The word "Bi" was written by him and grandpa just now, and she didn't know so many paintings.
"Sister Xiaowan, play back the first episode just now?"
"don't want!"
As the head of the family, Li Wenkai was not idle today. He rode a motorcycle to the bank to exchange some change and prepare to send red envelopes for the New Year. There were one cents, two cents, five cents, one cents, and one cent, and one yuan. He exchanged for 50 yuan.
All new.
It is rare to exchange for so much change, and the bank staff were stunned.
When you get home, boil water and kill chickens, cook rice, and scrape the fish into your stomach. It is used here to worship ancestors without removing the scales, and keep its original appearance.
The rooster who worships ancestors is killed, which indicates that a person who brings a hand in the future is a custom left by the old man.
Believe it or not is one thing. We have the responsibility to keep things left behind for thousands of years.
When the master saw Li Wenkai being clumsy, he had to go on his own in the end.
Originally, Li Wenkai was going to throw away the chicken intestines, but the master came out and scolded him again, saying that he had no choice but to take a chopstick and turn the chicken intestines over and clean them with salt, and put them in the pot with chicken blood to cook.
The things were all ready, and it was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon. The chicken, fish, meat, and chicken blood were all plated on the altar of the Eight Immortals Table.
"Master, how many bowls of rice are used?" Li Wenkai has never done this thing before. How many bowls of rice wine are used and how many pieces of fragrant rice are there? Li Wenkai doesn't know these details.
The master looked at the offerings of chicken, fish and meat on the table and said, "There are three bowls of rice, three bowls of sprinkled, a cup of water, and a bowl of raw rice."
"Okay." The old saying goes, if there is an old family, it's true that there is a treasure. If there is no master, I don't know what to do. Should I go out and ask my neighbors?
Li Wenkai filled the things that the master ordered, "Master, are you ready?"
"Uh, it's all right. Don't you have candy biscuits? Put three bowls of them on each. The ancestors will eat them well, so that you can bless you to get healthy and get promoted and make a fortune in the coming year."
"I have these." Li Wenkai then took out his little sister's red lacquer box and put them in one or three bowls of candy jelly.
The master guided Li Wenkai to light 5 incense and two candles, and finally burned the ingots.
"When burning, you must make your request to your ancestors, and bless you with good things, such as good things, don't be distracted." The master said.
"Uh..." OK.
Li Wenkai then spoke, "I have been promoted this year. I have been a level 8 worker. I have a good New Year this year. There are many things, including candies, biscuits, chicken, fish, meat, and gold ingots. Forests, don't be reluctant to spend it. Burn more, everyone will have a good New Year there. I hope that our ancestors will bless us to grow up healthily and meet noble people when we go out..." Li Wenkai said naggingly.
When the candles are burned, the offerings are removed and ready for lunch.
Cut the chicken in white, cut the pork into slices, then pat some garlic and soy sauce as some ingredients, and sprinkle with some coriander.
Others are going back for lunch, too.
Today is New Year's Eve and you can't have dinner at other people's houses, but Shen Zhengjun and Zhou Aiguo are Li Wenkai's apprentices, and they are considered a family, so they stayed.
Five people started eating at a table, and Li Wenkai opened a bottle of Dahua Kui and drank some of them himself.
I will go back to sleep and bring some New Year’s goods from there to celebrate the New Year, such as Sprite, Coke, orange juice and other drinks, and there are not many candies, so I can also give them some. I can give them to them when the children come to the door to congratulate you for your wealth. Of course, Li Wenkai is a rich man, so I can just give them money, one cent, two cents, five cents, etc. It is normal to give them 50 cents if they have a good relationship. If they give one, the naughty child will jump up excitedly.
