Chapter 166: Money Flows Up and Down
He set off a small firecracker, which made a loud bang, and he looked very happy, which made him speechless.

After playing outside for a while, it was time for dinner, so Li Jiayi ran home.

The lunch was very sumptuous, mainly consisting of some leftover ingredients from the night before.

You can say there were extra dishes, even though they were just a few, but for twenty-six dishes, there are still quite a few extra dishes!

Four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, plus a soup, made the whole family full, and even a little too full.

Fortunately, people of this era digest food faster, but in fact it’s just that there is not enough oil and water.

If we had meat for three meals a day like in later generations, I guess the digestion would not be so fast.

Although the food of Li Jia's family was good, it was not as good as that in later generations.

This is not to say that Li Jiayi is incapable of helping his family reach that level, it’s mainly because it’s too conspicuous.

If their family ate the same way as people in later generations, it would probably not be as simple as just being reported by the people in the hospital.

It's the Chinese New Year these two days, so the family can cook more dishes. Under normal circumstances, they have at most two meat dishes for dinner, sometimes just one.

There is basically no meat in the morning, and at noon I either eat at the factory or in the school cafeteria.

Even if we couldn't go to school because of heavy snow, we would only make one meat dish at noon, and the amount of meat to be used was controlled by our eldest sister.

The food in their home is better than most families, but it is still within control.

The very least is that even if their family eats meat, no one will target them.

This is because most of the meat is cooked meat he took out from the space, such as pig heads, pig livers, and pig hearts.

At most, I would stew a chicken or pork ribs every now and then, and sometimes I would stew a goose.

Only at this time could people in the yard smell the fragrance, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Because these things were generously brought back from outside by Daming, and one could tell at a glance that there was no problem with them.

It was definitely bought from the Pigeon Market, so there is nothing I can do even if I smell the fragrance.

Although the lunch was sumptuous, neither Li Aimin nor Liao Kai drank any alcohol.

The main reason is that I will be busier in the afternoon, and what if I drink too much and affect my cooking?

So they had to postpone drinking to the evening, and Ye Xin also promised Li Aimin that he could drink as much as he wanted at night.

This made Li Aimin very happy, as he could finally drink to his heart's content.

Li Aimin likes to drink, and Liao Kai is almost the same, and Liao Kai is the type who has been drinking since he was a child.

In Liao Kai's words, you have to learn how to drink from a young age, otherwise you won't be able to learn it well when you grow up.

It is said that the alcohol tolerance has been fixed. Even if one is a good drinker, it is just an appearance. At most, people with strong bodies will lose alcohol faster.

After dinner, the house started to get busy again, and Li Jiayi returned to his room at this time.

People are like this. They tend to feel sleepy when they eat too much. That's what he is like now.

Before long, I fell asleep in bed.

He was woken up by his eldest sister because dinner was ready.

When Li Jiayi came to the living room, he felt that the day's work was not in vain, it was so rich.

And it was made by a certified second-level chef, so you can imagine how it tastes.

Li Aimin took out the wine, the specially supplied Moutai, and he took out two bottles at once, it seemed that he was determined to go all out.

As for Li Jiayi, he also took out a military kettle from the house and poured an enamel jar each for his mother, elder sister and second sister.

Yes, what Li Jiayi took out was peach juice, and it was 100% pure peach juice, and it tasted great.

The meal started before six o'clock and lasted until after eight o'clock, taking nearly two hours.

As for Li Aimin and Liao Kai, both of them drank a little too much, and Liao Kai was sent back by Li Jiayi.

And help him add coal to the stove and seal the fire to prevent gas poisoning.

When he returned home, his mother and two sisters had already cleaned up the round table, but there were still a lot of leftovers.

"Mom, there are so many things left. We won't have to eat leftovers tomorrow, right?" asked the second sister Li Jialin at this time.

"What's wrong with leftovers? I didn't have them before when I wanted to eat them! We've only had a few days of good life! You don't even look down on leftovers."

Ye Xin scolded Li Jialin.

In fact, Li Jialin didn’t mean that, it was just that she spoke in a simple way, which led Ye Xin to misunderstand.

What she actually meant was that tomorrow is New Year's Day, and we can't eat leftovers on New Year's Day!
"Mom, there are too many left. I think we should give it away!"

There were six people in total, and they cooked twenty-six dishes at once, which was indeed a bit too much.

"Okay, son, I'll do as you say." Ye Xin nodded and said.

The second sister was so depressed! Is there such a big difference between this daughter and son?

I just said one word and I was scolded like a grandson.

As soon as the son said "send it away", the mother nodded immediately, saying that this mother must be alone.

"Son, who do you want to give these meals to?" Ye Xin asked.

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Give it to Aunt Cheng's family in the front yard, Aunt Xu's family in the middle yard, and Cripple Sun's family in the back yard."

"Okay, I'll separate them in a basin and let your eldest sister take them to them. But son, you are being a little rude."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment.

"You shouldn't call him Cripple Sun. You should call him Uncle Sun. Even your father and I should call him Brother Sun."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Mom, I get it. I won't call you that again." "That's right. No matter what time it is, you must be polite."

"Ok!"

There was a lot of leftover food, filling up a large porcelain bowl. Ye Xin divided it into three portions and asked her eldest sister Li Jiaqi to deliver it.

Although Li Aimin and Liao Kai were both drunk and unable to take a sauna, Li Jiayi still took a sauna alone.

But it’s behind my mom and my older sisters.

Silent all night.

At about five o'clock the next morning, Li Jiayi got up from the space.

I’d better do some boxing first, then wash up and take a shower, and then come out of the space.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year! We have to get up early to fire the opening cannon. We had already agreed yesterday that this year's opening cannon would be given to Li Jiayi.

Look, I got up before daybreak. It's winter now! It was only around seven o'clock when the sun was just rising.

And after he finished boxing in the space and took a shower, it was just six o'clock.

After going downstairs to the living room, Li Jiayi took out three firecrackers, opened the door and walked out.

He didn't plan to go outside and play it, but planned to play it in the yard. Although the sound would be loud, it would not have any impact.

Because at this time, the sound of cannons firing from all over the imperial capital could be heard one after another, and it was estimated that no one could sleep well.

He set off the three opening cannons in less than five minutes. As for the firecrackers, they would not be set off until breakfast time.

After firing the opening shot, Li Jiayi was no longer sleepy, and he had no intention of going back to sleep.

He sat alone in the living room and took out a large plate of peanuts and melon seeds candy.

He also made himself a large enamel pot of tea and sat there eating and drinking.

Before I finished the enamel pot of tea, my parents got up and my mother started cooking.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the meal was simple, with only dumplings and hand-rolled noodles, so Liao Kai didn't need to be bothered.

Dumplings are a must-have on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This is the case in the capital. No matter how well the family is doing, there will be dumplings on the morning of the first day of the New Year.

As for hand-rolled noodles, they are simply rinsed with cold water after cooking and then mixed with mashed garlic before eating.

Here in the imperial capital it is called Qianchuanzi, and it is also indispensable on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Anyway, this is the case in the imperial capital. As for the customs in other places, Li Jiayi really doesn't know.

Although Liao Kai didn't need to get up to cook, he still came very early. He not only came to eat, but also to wish everyone a happy new year.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, Happy New Year." Liao Kai said with a fist clasp.

"Happy New Year."

"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect." Liao Kai handed the things he carried to Li Aimin and said.

"Xiao Kai, what are you doing? When you are here, isn't it like being at home? Why are you bringing any gifts?"

"Brother Li, you know my situation. I don't have any relatives, so I have nowhere to go. I prepared this gift in advance. You can't let me take it back, right?"

Hearing Liao Kai's words, Li Aimin nodded and said, "Okay, but this won't happen again."

"Okay, I see."

"Uncle Liao, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year. Here, I'll give you a red envelope." Liao Kai took out a red envelope and handed it to Li Jiayi.

"Uh! Uncle Liao!" Li Jiayi really didn't expect that Liao Kai would give him a red envelope.

"Thank you, Uncle Liao."

Knowing that Liao Kai was not short of money, Li Jiayi did not hesitate, even though he did not think highly of the small amount of money in the red envelope.

But it makes sense! This is New Year's money, which means he is one year older, and receiving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year is a good omen!

"Don't be polite, this is what I should do."

While having breakfast, Li Aimin also took out a few red envelopes and gave them to the three siblings.

As for Ye Xin, there is no need for her because Li Aimin alone represents her.

Of course, Liao Kai also prepared red envelopes for Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin, and gave them to them together at this time.

The red envelope given by Liao Kai was not small. Each of the three siblings received ten yuan, which was more than what their parents gave.

Because there is only five yuan in each red envelope given by my parents.

As soon as Li Jiayi's family finished their meal, the children in the yard began to come over one after another to wish them a happy new year.

Li Aimin was not stingy either. He packed a lot of red envelopes in advance. No matter who came, he would give a red envelope.

But there is not much money in it, only one cent in each red envelope.

"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt, happy coming of age, sister Jiaqi, sister Jialin, brother Jiayi."

Just at this time, Sun Qingjun brought his two sisters Sun Qingmin and Sun Qingmei to pay New Year's greetings.

"Okay, okay, happy new year, wife, give me the red envelope quickly."

In fact, Li Aimin makes two kinds of red envelopes. One contains one cent and is mainly given to children who come to the yard to pay New Year's greetings.
