It includes a check from Xinghe Bank, a work evaluation for this year, as well as cloth stamps, meat stamps, sugar stamps, rice stamps, face stamps, oil stamps, etc.
The amount of the check is different for everyone, and it is forbidden to inquire about each other. This is confidential. Any achievements and shortcomings at work this year will be reflected in the work evaluation. I hope to continue working hard next year.
Although we are now self-sufficient in food, the supply of mainly corn and other coarse grains has been liberalized. Other materials are still relatively scarce and must be supplied by ticket.
All these require gradual development. It is not easy for Yang Fan to be self-sufficient in food in two years.
Although there are rice and white flour sold in supermarkets and rural grocery stores according to the grain limit, they are all ground from old rice and wheat that have been transferred from the warehouse in modern times. They are not delicious.
For this New Year's gift, rice stamps and noodle stamps are made from locally produced high-quality rice from Tianjin and flour from Baoding. They come in a bag of fifty kilograms. Meat stamps can be used to get ten kilograms of fat meat. It is enough to make dumplings during the New Year.
The oil stamp is fifty kilograms of soybean oil per wooden barrel. Yang Fan raises a large number of horses, camels and other livestock, and soybean feed is indispensable. The soybean planting area is amazing. Because the purchase price is good, the people below will plant some when they have an open space.
, everywhere in front of and behind the house.
Soybeans can be made into tofu to supplement vegetable protein, and can also be used to extract oil. Soybean cakes and soybean meal can also be used as feed. So Yang Fan now has a sufficient supply of soybean oil.
The cloth ticket is a piece of cloth, which is enough to make new clothes for the whole family. This gift package is very affordable and provides food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is what every family needs.
After receiving the red envelopes, the stewards all left. After exiting the gate, they opened the red envelopes one after another to see what was in their own red envelopes. Seeing so many affordable and good things, everyone suddenly smiled and hurried home.
go.
The wife and children are all busy at home, waiting for the head of the family to return. They also have to sacrifice the stove at home to celebrate the New Year. Now, after taking the money and the New Year gifts from the master, the family does not know how happy they are. Especially Bai Bai.
Ten pounds of granulated sugar can make a child cry.
Everyone went to the warehouse to pick up the things, and then hired a cart driver to help them transport them home. At this time, many cart porters were waiting outside the warehouse. They were well-informed and knew
The managers were paying out benefits today and would definitely need to hire a car, so they all waited early.
The stewards withdrew, and Yang Fan led Zhao Fu and others to the kitchen.
The kitchen of the Yang Mansion is not small. After all, there are more than 700 people in the house. The kitchen is an independent building. As soon as you enter the door, there is a wall that blocks the interior. People can walk from both ends of this wall. Inside is a row of
A row of stoves and a long table for preparing ingredients.
There are separate areas for raw and cooked food, with pasta and vegetarian food on the east side, meaty food on the west side, and seafood on the north side.
On the north wall of the kitchen, there is a portrait of the Kitchen God. Below is an offering table with three pig heads, fruits, snacks, etc.
The statue of the Kitchen God also has a calendar for this year printed on it, with words such as "Master of the East Chef", "God of Human Supervision", "Head of the Family" and other words to indicate the status of the Kitchen God.
The couplets "God says good things, and the lower realms keep you safe" are pasted on both sides of the shrine to bless the whole family.
After Yang Fan bowed three times, he lit three pillars of incense and recited a poem to worship the stove.
"In ancient times, it is said that on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God looked up to the sky and wanted to say something.
The clouds, the carriages, the wind, the horses, the little ones linger, and there are cups and plates at home to celebrate the feast.
Rotten pig head, hot double fish, bean paste and nard powder bait balls.
The man drinks wine and offers his daughter to avoid it; he pours wine and burns money to make the king happy.
Don't listen to the fight between your maids and maids, don't get angry at the filthy horns of cats and dogs;
I'll send you drunk and full to the gate of heaven. The ladle is long and the ladle is short, don't return to the clouds.
Begging for profit and return points."
After Yang Fan finished reciting, he lit the words on the incense candle and burned them. Then he took a big rooster from Zhao Fu's hand.
When offering sacrifices to the Stove, the person offering sacrifices to the Stove kneels in front of the statue of the Stove Lord and holds the rooster in his arms. Some people also let children hold the chicken and kneel behind the adults. It is said that the rooster is the horse that the Stove Lord rode when he ascended to heaven, so the rooster is not called a chicken, but a horse.
If it is a red rooster, it is commonly known as "red horse", and if it is a white rooster, it is commonly known as "white horse".
After burning the incense table, the room was filled with incense and full of mystery.
Yang Fan poured wine and kowtowed, muttering something in his mouth. "Master Stove Lord, I beg you, old man, to protect my two wives, mother and son, in peace."
After finishing the recitation, Yang Fan shouted "Ling"! Then he poured wine over the chicken head.
At this time, if the chicken's head flutters and flutters, it means that Stove Master has appreciated it. If the chicken's head does not move at all, it needs to be watered again.
Yang Fan picked up the wine glass and poured the wine on the big rooster's head. The sticky rice wine spilled all over the rooster's head. The big rooster was very unhappy and couldn't shake its head. He tried to shake his head.
Seeing that the rooster was very active, everyone burst into praise. It seems that only this means that the Kitchen God is satisfied. The family will be more blessed next year.
After offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord, Yang Fan announced the start of the banquet.
Suddenly, the whole family burst into cheers, and everyone was waiting for the master to announce the start of the banquet.
At this time, twenty large pots were lined up in the yard in front of the kitchen, and the water was already boiling. Frozen dumplings were being poured out one after another, and the cooks were stirring the pots with huge wire fences.
The stew that had been prepared last night and the freshly fried dishes were also served.
Yang Fan was having dinner with his ladies in the main hall.
There is one more person at the Eight Immortals table this year. On the left of Yang Fan are Xiao Niangpi and Mei Xiang, on the right are Lin Yueru and Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was so happy. Although she didn't want any status, the lady actually asked her to come to the table for dinner. This was an affirmation of her status. Before the meal, the lady even sealed a big red envelope for her. She said it was for
The money she spent to buy makeup and jewelry will be paid by Xiang Yi for Chen Xi to enjoy a share at home.
Although the money is not much, only fifty taels a year, it has different meanings. Lin Yueru, Mei Xiang, and Chen Xi all value this small amount of money.
"Today I will have a reunion dinner with you, and in the evening I will go to the theater, watch blacksmiths, and perform sideshows. Tomorrow I will go to the capital. After all, I have to go to the military camp before the Spring Festival. Everything has been arranged, so I feel at ease.
Go home for the New Year." Yang Fan said.
"Sir, have you set a date for your expedition?" Lin Yueru asked.
"Qin Tianjian said it was after the fifteenth day, and those days are suitable for sending troops. I guess it is seventeenth or eighteen."
Xiao Niangpi took Yang Fan's hand and said, "Oh, it will take a long time to leave this time. It might take a year to come back."
Yang Fan comforted her and said: "Yao Guang and I are organizing people to work on the radio system. If the progress is fast enough, we can communicate even though we are far apart. If you miss me, you can also use Yao Guang's WeChat to contact me.
.”
This trip will take a long time. In the original history next year, there will be a major invasion of Jin soldiers in the second year of Chongzhen. Yang Fan is worried without real-time communication means. This aspect must be improved.
The sacrifice to the stove is complete.
