Chapter: 137 New Year’s Eve

After being escorted to the door by Shen Minghua, Lin Weiwan stopped.

“I have prepared some things for you to pick up later. There are some pills for preventing cold and dampness, strengthening the body, and some daily necessities and food.

You take them to the old people in the cowshed, and I won’t go over there, lest there are too many people and attract other people’s attention.” Lin Weiwan whispered to Shen Minghua.

With Shen Minghua’s things alone, it is not enough to help a few old people.

Looking at the old man who is as old as his grandfather, he still can’t just watch. Seeing that the New Year is coming, he should do his best.

Although it doesn’t matter, it’s not a bad thing to help.

Shen Minghua didn’t expect Lin Weiwan to be so thoughtful, “I thank you on their behalf.”

Lin Weiwan waved her hand, “Okay, it’s not a big deal.”

Back in the room, Lin Weiwan put a full bamboo basket behind the door and waited for Shen Minghua to come and pick it up later.

Take the wooden box out of the bamboo basket and put it on the kang table.

Open the black cloth package to reveal the real thing inside.

The gorgeous conch shells revealed a different kind of beauty in the dark room.

A scent of agarwood slowly wafted out, which shocked Lin Weiwan.

Without looking at what was in the box, this agarwood conch shell box was already a treasure.

Cranes, morning sun, peonies, and fairy stones covered the entire agarwood box.

Opening the delicate lock and slowly lifting the lid, a soft light instantly illuminated the room.

Lin Weiwan was startled and grabbed the box and went straight into the space.

Entering the villa in the space, Lin Weiwan opened the box again, only to find that it was actually a lifelike sculpture of a kind-hearted Guanyin statue.

The Guanyin statue was carved from a whole piece of mutton-fat white jade.

From the lotus crown on the head to the lotus platform on the base, the carvings were delicate and lifelike.

A red mirror gem was inlaid on the forehead, holding a lotus in the right hand and a jade bottle in the left hand.

The tentacles were warm, and the overall height was about 30 cm.

The light came from the jade bottle in Guanyin’s hand. The small jade bottle could actually illuminate the entire room.

Lin Weiwan saw this for the first time, and suddenly felt that the Guanyin statue in her hand was a little hot.

It was too precious. What kind of family was the Shen family to have such a treasure?

Looking closely at the luminous jade bottle, Lin Weiwan guessed that the jade bottle was carved with something like luminous stone. Commonly known as night-shining pearls.

The most precious thing was not the Guanyin statue carved from a whole piece of Hetian mutton-fat jade, nor was it the jade bottle that was brighter than other night-shining pearls.

The most peculiar thing was that the night-shining jade bottle was held in Guanyin’s hand.

There was no breakpoint on the entire hand and the bottle. Lin Weiwan had a bold hypothesis that the jade material was originally a combination of mutton-fat jade and night-shining pearls.

Put the Guanyin statue on the coffee table. Because of the light emitted by the jade bottle, the whole Guanyin statue looked dreamy and vivid.

In Lin Weiwan’s eyes, the greedy spiritual spring in his home was actually slowly absorbing the mist on the Guanyin statue.

The spring water also did not let go of the mist on the snail box.

Lin Weiwan left the space and waited for Shen Minghua to come and get something.

She didn’t know that when he opened the box in the room just now, the bright light was not only seen by Lin Weiwan.

Another person who passed by the backyard to go to the toilet also saw it.

After leaving the space, Lin Weiwan waited for Shen Minghua to come and get something, while thinking about what delicious food to cook for the New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow.

Usually when the five of them get together, they eat chicken, fish, pork and so on.

It would be a bit boring to cook the same thing as usual during the New Year.

Until Shen Minghua took away the things, Lin Weiwan hadn’t figured out what to make.

On New Year’s Eve, Ye Jibai, Hu Xiaopang, and Wang Qiaoyun all gathered in Lin Weiwan’s room.

Wang Ping’s room on Lin Weiwan’s side was locked, and Du Shanshan didn’t come back last night. The backyard became the world of a few people again.

Ye Jibai chopped wood, Hu Xiaopang fetched water, and Wang Qiaoyun followed behind Lin Weiwan to help prepare the dishes.

It was almost noon, and dishes were placed on the round table in the inner room.

Improved version of sweet and sour pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, traditional iron pot stewed fish, Lin Weiwan’s specialty, braised pork with fermented bean curd, three-no-stick, sausages brought back by Wang Qiaoyun, a plate of fried peanuts, and Wensi tofu soup.

Melon seeds, peanuts, White Rabbit milk candy, chocolate with wine filling, Gaoliangyi, and rock sugar were placed on the tea tray.

There were canned hawthorns to relieve greasiness, and drinks included Coca-Cola that Ye Jibai brought to Lin Weiwan, and malted milk and loquat sauce that Lin Weiwan brought out.

Fresh fruits included apples and oranges that Wang Qiaoyun brought back from the black market.

This table was complete, not to mention that it was a large plate of noodles in that era, even in the next 20 or 30 years.

A large table with delicious food, several people from all over the world gathered together to spend the first year of going to the countryside.

Unfortunately, Shen Minghua pretended to be sick and stayed in the house to take care of Mr. Shen, so Lin Weiwan could only prepare some of each dish for the two of them.

Although the presentation was not as large and beautiful as the ones here, it was enough for two people to eat two or three meals.

The fragrance from the backyard drifted out when the door was opened several times, and the people gathered in the front yard were not thinking about it.

The only meat dish on the table was stewed meat with sauerkraut. Compared with the fragrance from the backyard, it looked watery and white.

The remaining dishes were braised tofu, boiled cabbage, and steamed pumpkin and potatoes with soybean paste. Oh, today’s sauce was fried in the pan and two eggs were beaten.

Zhao Kaiyang picked two pieces of meat and put them in the bowl to eat. He felt that the saltiness was a bit off and ordered a chopstick of egg sauce.

Lin Huahua looked at Zhao Kaiyang with disdain and quickly turned his head away.

Wait a little longer… It will be fine after these two years. Lin Huahua thought of this and his eyes became more determined.

The chopsticks were not slow in picking up the meat from the bowl. After all, they paid for the meat. If they didn’t eat it, it would be a bargain for others.

The four people sat down in the backyard. Hu Xiaopang quickly poured Coke for Lin Weiwan, “Here… sister, fill it up. You’ve worked hard.”

Lin Weiwan felt that she was already full of flavor. After the meal was over, Lin Weiwan wanted to go into the space to take a shower.

Wang Qiaoyun looked at Lin Weiwan with admiration. The same things, ingredients and pots.

How could the things be made so differently?

The four people scanned the food on the table. The aroma of rice and the taste of the dishes were so fresh and fragrant that they almost wanted to cry.

Hu Xiaopang was so useless that he shed two tears. He was eating and didn’t know which dish to look at.

He kept giving Lin Weiwan a thumbs up and looked at Ye Jibai with envy. This old guy really found a treasure.

Ye Jibai’s eating speed was not slow, but he was much more elegant than Hu Xiaopang’s.

Wang Qiaoyun had completely let herself go in the backyard, and in the end she and Hu Xiaopang fought over the remaining spoonful of Sanbuzhan on the plate and almost overturned the table.
