Chapter 51 New Year's Day
As the end of the year approaches, Luoshan City is very lively.
In the shops on both sides of the road, every household has New Year's goods sold or given away.
For example, if you buy ten kilograms of meat at a butcher shop, you will even get couplets.
This is something Lin Dong never expected. He thought that only later wineries could think of this.
From this point of view, there is actually not much difference between ancient people and modern people. The biggest point is probably the lack of media explosion.
As for the others, perhaps ancient people could do very well.
Lin Dong, carrying ten kilograms of pork and a pair of couplets, looked at the butcher shop deeply. After sighing for a while, he turned around and wanted to go back.
"Master, buy some this, this, there is still this?" Duan Yu grabbed his Taoist robe at this time and pointed pitifully at the pastry shop next to the road and some other shops.
As he spoke, his eyes lit up and he continued, "By the way, there are firecrackers. Is it still fun to not firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?"
After touching his pocket and feeling the weight, Lin Dong smiled and slapped Duan Yu: "What's going on next year? I'm not as rich as your family."
Duan Yu's head lowered deeply, just like the various children in Luoshan City.
They all wanted everything, but unfortunately they were all excused by their parents with various words, and most of them seemed very unhappy.
However, the children do not hold grudges, and soon they continued to fight wits and courage with their parents again.
However, Duan Yu was a sensible child. He swept through the shops in disappointment and never spoke again.
"But, for the New Year, you can't let you down, so just buy some."
Seeing Duan Yu feel so aggrieved, Lin Dong smiled and grabbed his little hand and said, "Let's go, why are you still standing there?"
"Master, aren't you no money?"
"My teacher is indeed not as rich as some heroes, but it is not at all. I have accumulated all the money for sesame and oil on weekdays."
“That is, I can pick a lot of pastries?!”
"It is impossible to choose. At most, buy a few for you and see which one you like."
"Master, you are so good. Yu'er's parents have been separated since childhood. Her father is mostly busy with official duties, and her mother..."
"Don't flatter, go and choose quickly. Be careful to regret it. You won't be able to say anything else."
Lin Dong interrupted Duan Yu with a smile and went into the pastry shop together.
Not to mention, as soon as he came in, his senses became different.
The taste of the various pastries being mixed together is extremely sweet. Even if you just take a deep breath, you will feel that the whole person has become different.
Lin Dong is also a foodie. He didn't think about buying it before, mainly because he was not sure whether it tasted delicious. He originally planned to make it himself.
But now he realized how outrageous he was wrong.
In this era, not to mention anything else, at least the pastries will never be inferior to future generations, especially without packaging, all kinds of flavors can definitely make people salivate.
"Master, are you here?"
The owner of the pastry shop was facing the customer with a smile. Suddenly, he saw Lin Dong who had come in. He quickly sued the customer and ran over: "Why are you here in person? I'll have someone bring a letter? How great is it to me to send it to you afterwards."
"During the New Year, my apprentice wants to come out for a walk. I am also very quiet and want to move, so I walk with you."
Lin Dong explained with a smile, then looked at the customers in the store and said that the business was booming: "You'd better not follow me. The store is so busy, don't worry about me."
When the boss heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is not possible. If it weren't for you, Taoist priest, my son might have already..."
Lin Dong interrupted the boss and said with a smile: "Business is more important, not to mention that the whole family is pointing at this for dinner."
"If the layman really wants to chat with me, he can go to Qingfeng Temple outside the city at any time, but this New Year Festival has passed, but I can only wait for another year."
The boss wanted to be polite, but when he looked at the busy guy in the store, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll go there first. Taoist priest, please speak up if you need anything, and you won't charge any money."
Lin Dong nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Master, don't they steal food on weekdays?"
Seeing that the boss had left, Duan Yu wiped his saliva and pointed at the busy guys secretly.
"Won't."
Lin Dong shook his head and said with great certainty: "At first glance, most of these people are relatives of the boss, and they want to make a living when they come here. If the business goes down, they will be finished."
"Secondly, when these guys enter the store, the boss will force them to eat a lot of pastries. It is possible to eat more than ten kilograms in a day. In the future, most of them have psychological shadows on pastries and will never..."
Halfway through hearing this, Duan Yu lost his mood. He took Lin Dong's hand and started to select pastries: "This, this, and this, wrap it up for us!"
Lin Dong: “…”
Damn, this apprentice is a bit evil...
Just as he thought of this, he hurriedly said in his heart: Sin, monks cannot swear words, and they can't even think about it!
...
Duan Yu picked about three kilograms of pastries. Lin Dong took advantage of the boss's inattention and settled the account with the accountant who seemed very smart at first sight, and then quickly left.
As for whether the boss will regret not giving in the future, this is not what he should have thought.
People can ask for money, but they can't refuse to give it to you.
This is the rule.
In addition, it has certain educational significance, which can make Duan Yu understand at this age that it is very favorable and difficult to repay.
Hearing Lin Dong's nagging again, what rules and favors, Duan Yu felt that his head was big, so he could only shrink his neck helplessly and said, "Master, you need not talk about these things, Yu'er already knew about them..."
"That's right, I'm a royal person at least, how can I not know?" Lin Dong thought about it, then nodded and stopped saying a word.
When I returned to Qingfeng Temple, it was already afternoon.
Lin Dong first dealt with Duan Yu randomly, then started to put on a ladder and hang some lanterns.
The Chinese New Year is the most important custom. Most people will be busy even during this period of time, even if they are busy on weekdays.
Maybe it will be very tired, but it is very fulfilling and there is a faint sense of happiness in my heart.
"Master, let me come!"
In the afternoon, Qiao Feng, who had finally made a little time, came back. Looking at the area in the yard that had not been cleaned, he directly raised his sleeves and got on.
"The family is over, and thinking that you are the only junior brother Duan to help you, the disciple rushed over."
At the same time, he did not forget to explain.
Since then, even though Lin Dong has been leisurely, he also feels happy when he looks at his two apprentices working.
