The Spring Festival is finally here. This is the first year we spent in the same boat club. Students and parents gathered together to celebrate. It''s a pity that Gongsun Shu can''t come back because the affairs of Yancheng haven''t been finished. Last time he contacted me, he told me that with the help of Ding Yiming, Taoist priest Tan and master Wei, dozens of kids have been recruited.

    In fact, I also know this, because he takes in the imps with a little bit of the power of the service soul curse that I gave away. As long as he takes in one, I can feel it here. But the same, I also know that those he accepted were not very powerful, most of them were like those ordered by Li cunhao last time.

    There are a lot of people in the boat club. After the new year, the cooks are very busy. The parents, who have good skills, also go to help. Not only do they have no complaints, but they enjoy it.

    This is the New Year!

    Some shops have been closed for a long time, but some of them are still open until five o''clock tonight. I''ve swept up the drinks and piled up a large area in the big restaurant of Tongzhou club. Now that the economic conditions have improved, we have also bought live chickens, live pigs and live fish, ready to slaughter and cook on the spot at night.

    One of the cooks from Northeast China was very happy when he heard this. He yelled: "I''m talking to you. Today, I''ve got four real books. I''ll give you a taste of our pig dish. It''s a good time for us to stew pig''s head and noodles."

    Well, how reliable the accent sounds! (thumb!)

    I have to say that this master has two skills. The most important thing is Physical strength, so many dishes, this time down, in addition to the sweat on the face, did not see the sense of fatigue, cooking is the largest number of that night, there is no one, the MVP is right!

    Baron took out the red lanterns he had bought before and said that they would be hung at the door. There were still a lot of them to be hung all over the yard. I thought, this is great, before the family is small, now this courtyard, you can hang it.

    Baron took Shen yun''er and some kids to hang lanterns. I looked at them and thought it was baron. He was an ancient man. He went to the courtyard to celebrate the Spring Festival. He was an old man. This time, he bought it for the Lord. This decision is really wise. It''s worthy of me!

    The restaurant is divided into two parts. It''s not made now, but it used to be, because the members of the boat club can be roughly divided into two parts, one is people, the other is ghosts. If we only count the fighters, the number of ghosts is much more than that of human beings, but with those parents, the number of ghosts is similar to or even more than that of human beings.

    In this way, half of the restaurant is not wasted, because the way ghosts eat is different from humans, except for ghosts. Ghosts rely on incense to eat, while humans eat directly. In a word, after eating and drinking, ghosts will not reduce their food, but they can''t give it to people any more. That''s the truth of offering.

    Therefore, the restaurant is divided into two parts, one part is ghosts, the other part is people. Like Baron and Lang Feng, they have become ghosts and demons. They can restore their human appearance and eat like human beings.

    On our side, there are many kinds of dishes on the round table, with more meat and less vegetables. The dishes on each table are not the same. Some tables have a stuffy pig head in the middle, eating it with a knife; some tables have a big fish in the middle, which is braised in Brown sauce and put on the plate, with shredded onion and ginger; others have a hot pot table, with a big mandarin duck hot pot in the middle , surrounded by sliced meat and all kinds of other dishes.

    And the ghost side, although the dishes are also very rich, but there is no such thing as hot pot, ghosts can''t eat. There is a censer on the table. There is a yellow paper sign on the censer. The name of every ghost is written on it. There are three incense sticks in the censer.

    A group of ghosts gathered around the table, sucking the essence of incense and food. After eating, these things must be destroyed!

    Here, several masters are still serving new dishes. At this time, the curtain of the door is lifted, and the Northeast master comes in again, carrying an iron pot and yelling, "come on, the iron pot stew is coming!"

    Well, yes, it''s the goose.

    I sat next to the hot pot table. Zeng Xiujie and Geng Xi were there, waiting for the hot pot to be cooked.

    I looked at the ingredients in the red oil pot of Yuanyang pot and said, "this red pot is suitable for the scene, and the hot pot itself is also suitable for the scene, round and round."

    "The boss said yes!" Li cunhao didn''t know where he came from and flattered him directly. He added: "and boss, you see, the appearance of Yuanyang pot is so good. The two kinds of pots are close together, just like you and me. Without you, there would be no me! Boss, who are you

    I looked at him and said, "I''m spicy."

    "Yes! Spicy good, red fire, and boss you, sooner or later standing on top of the world, red! So I am clear soup. "

    I looked at him and said calmly, "no, you are spicy."

    Li cunhao

    Everyone burst into laughter, and the scene was very lively, but at this time, a bad episode came in untimely

    "Hey, don''t rush in, catch him and blow him out!"

    The sound was very loud. The outside of the restaurant began to be noisy. There were shouts, which disturbed the happy atmosphere. As we all know, at this time of the year, there is a very useful four character saying: "it''s a big new year''s day." This shows that it is not easy to quarrel at this time, but there is a quarrel outside.For a moment, everyone was a little unhappy. As the president, I naturally wanted to go out and have a look. When I got to the courtyard, I knew what happened.

    The gate of the courtyard is not facing the restaurant, but the restaurant is not far away. I didn''t walk a few steps outside. When I looked at it again, I found that there were several people and ghosts around a person in the courtyard, with anger on their faces. On one side, Baron came with Shen yun''er, also with solemn expression.

    I understand why it is dignified, because the man surrounded is a beggar.

    In the Spring Festival, everyone will not be happy if a beggar is dirty and ill. The beggar, wearing a single coat, has patches on it. There are holes where there are no patches. He doesn''t know what color it used to be, but it''s black now. Wearing a ragged hat, his long hair came out from under the hat, full of oil and mud. His lower body was a pair of ragged Capris, and his trouser legs were a little bit broken. Most of his legs were in the cold wind, and his feet were rag shoes, some of which had been opened.

    In his hand, he was holding a stick in one hand and a small bowl in the other. At this time, he was holding himself in his arms to warm himself. Not far from his feet, a little black dog, who looked as dirty as before, was lying on his stomach with no spirit, staring at the front.

    "Come on, get rid of him. Who let him in?"

    Someone yelled and planned to catch him. As a result, the beggar''s body was like a loach, shaking from left to right. The man stretched out his hand several times, but he didn''t catch him at all. Instead, he almost knocked himself over.

    "You see, I said I couldn''t catch him." Another person wrongly said, it seems that he should have let the beggar in.

    I looked at the beggar with some dignity in my heart. Others can''t avoid beggars, but I''m not the same. You know, at the beginning, it was because of my kindness that I gave the woman disguised as a beggar a dollar that I brought out the old master, my past life, upgrading system, and now my path of cultivation! Can say, I can have today, starting point, is a beggar!

    Now, when I meet a beggar again, and my skill is extraordinary, I have an idea in my heart.

    "You, come here." I called the man who seemed to let the beggar in. "Tell me what happened."

    He told the story. Just now Baron wanted to hang a lantern, so he asked him to hang it at the gate. As a result, when he went out to hang a lantern, he found that there was such a thing outside the gate. Tattered with mud and a dirty dog, when he saw him, he said he would enjoy food. As soon as he thought about it, he paid him a few yuan. As a result, the beggar took the money and went straight to the courtyard! The man tried to stop him, but he came in like a loach.

    That''s why I called for people to catch him and say I want to blow him out. So, I see this scene here now.

    I looked at the beggar, and now several people could not catch him, while Baron stood aside, looking serious.

    "What do you think?" I use the chat function of the system to communicate with Baron in my heart.

    "Not so much." Barron replied.

    So it is!

    "Well, don''t worry about it. It''s new year''s Eve. What''s the trouble?" I have to use four words. "Let him be here. Give him a little room and some food later."

    After that, I waved those people back and went to the beggar. Neither he nor the dog had any intention to move.

    I leaned to his ear and said, "you are really not afraid of dirt. I will give you a room. Don''t make trouble."

    With that, I just turned around and left, leaving the rest to baron.

    Back in the restaurant, because they didn''t go out and didn''t know what was going on, they all began to ask me, I didn''t say anything, just said that a person with his own character, but some capable people wanted to take him in. They didn''t know what was going on, so they didn''t ask any more.

    After a while, the dishes were ready, and the dumplings would be eaten at midnight when the new year came. As the president, I sat at a table with Zeng Xiujie and other goods, plus Hu Jie. Li cunhao stood beside me like a servant. I told him to sit and eat three times before he accepted the order. The tables around me were all relatives of the family, and the parents sat the closest.

    "I haven''t been to school for a long time. How''s school going?" At the dinner table, I asked Zeng Xiujie, because they had to go to school every few days.

    "What can I do? It''s just like that. The building that has been under construction has been completed, but it has nothing to do with us. All the service providers are new comers. We are sophomores. After this semester, we will be juniors, and the school affairs are rarely related to us. " Gao Yan shrugged and said.

    Because we are a junior college, only three years, now the first semester of sophomore year is over, there is internship in junior year, it really has nothing to do with us.

    "It''s said that next semester, or next semester, the school is going to organize an activity to send our class off." Hu Jie eating ribs, suddenly said.

    "Really? Who told you that? " I''m curious. Will this school do this kind of thing? Not before. Besides, you don''t go to school. How do you know?

    "Gong Xiaoting and Feng Qian, they are." Hu Jieli said of course.

    Oh - I forgot they were still at school.Hu Jie looked at my expression and said contemptuously, "I knew you had forgotten them."

    "Who said that? I didn''t. don''t talk nonsense. " I quickly denied the third company and said, "but it''s a big deal. We''ll go and have a look then. In other words, why do we have to send off this special session? "

    "It''s not because of you." Hu Jie said again, looking at me like a silly beep.

    “…… Me I''m confused.

    "Yes, you fought against the devil king in front of the whole school. You have been remembered by the whole school for a long time. Later, you can find out which class you are from, so you can''t be treated well?"

    "Yes, yes, so are we!" Zeng Xiujie immediately said. "When the teacher is in class, he just takes you as an example. We are also mentioned. When we go to class, we can do whatever we want in class, and the teacher doesn''t care at all."

    "Take me as "Role models?" I''m more confused.

    "Yes, every time someone disobeys or studies badly, the teacher says, if you can be as good as Guo Rui, you can not come to school!"

    “……”

    I''m so famous with Laozi. If you think about it carefully, that''s why I''m only in the boat club now and I don''t go to school.

    "Well, is it OK not to have class?" At this time, on the next table, some parents who didn''t know the truth asked. In their hearts, it is natural for children to go to school, get certificates, graduate and find jobs. If they have not done so, they feel that there is something less.

    "Of course it doesn''t matter." I explained. "To go to school is to learn, to find a job and to earn money. But now that we are rich and self-sufficient, what are we going to do? If you want to talk about the cultural heritage, it''s almost the same for the freshman of culture course, and the sophomore is a professional course, and you don''t need to worry about the cultural heritage. If you want to find a job and make contributions to the society, we are now mages, fighting against evil cultivation and contributing as much as soldiers. "

    Well, this is the truth of life, except If it''s self-reliance to threaten a boss I didn''t know before that he had to give me money, then all I said is true.

    "Then..." Obviously, the parents want to say something, but after thinking for a long time, they can''t say anything. I''m too reasonable to refute. OK.

    "Won''t you just sit back and eat up?" Finally, he asked reluctantly.

    "No, as long as the company doesn''t go bankrupt, it''s OK to support these people." I said with a smile.

    But in fact, I don''t have the score myself. Lin Qiang''s company is really doing well now, but what if something happens? After all, we have more and more people now. In other words, how do other sects guarantee their income?

    At this time, suddenly a voice came from the door: "Oh, oh, this big mage organization has no business of its own!"

    I look back, I go, don''t let him not come out to make trouble? Why are you here!
