It includes a check from Xinghe Bank, a job 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 ask each other. This is confidential. Any achievements and shortcomings in this year's work will be reflected in the work evaluation. Hope to continue working hard next year.

Although food is now self-sufficient. But mainly corn and other coarse grains have been liberalized in supply. Other supplies are still relatively scarce and must be supplied by ticket.

These require gradual development. It is not easy for Yang Fan to be self-sufficient in food in two years.

Although rice and white flour are sold in supermarkets and village grocery stores according to grain quotas, they are all ground from old rice and wheat that have been transferred from the warehouse in modern times. Unappetizing.

For this New Year’s gift, rice stamps and face stamps are made from locally produced high-quality rice from Tianjin and flour from Baoding. They are all in a fifty kilogram bag. You can get ten pounds of fat meat with the meat ticket. Making dumplings for Chinese New Year is enough.

The oil stamp is fifty kilograms of soybean oil per wooden barrel. Yang Fan raises a large number of horses, camels and other livestock, so soybean feed is indispensable. The area planted with soybeans is staggering. Because the purchase price was good, people down there would plant some of it when they had an open space, and it was everywhere in front of and behind their houses.

Soybeans can be used to make tofu to supplement vegetable protein, and can also be used to extract oil. Soybean cake 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, enough to make a new suit for each family. This big gift package is very affordable, providing food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is what every family needs.

After receiving the red envelope, the stewards all left. After leaving the gate, they opened their red envelopes one after another to see what was in their own red envelopes. Seeing so many good and affordable things, everyone suddenly smiled and hurried home.

My wife and children are all busy at home, waiting for the head of the household to return. Their families also have to offer sacrifices to the stove to celebrate the New Year. Now, after taking the money and the new year's goods given by the master, the family is very happy. Especially ten pounds of white sugar can make a child cry.

Everyone went to the warehouse to get 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 that the stewards would definitely need to hire a car to pay out benefits today, so they all waited early.

The stewards withdrew, and Yang Fan took Zhao Fu and others to the kitchen.

The kitchen in 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 are rows of stoves and long tables for processing ingredients.

There are separate areas for raw and cooked food, with pasta and vegetarian food on the east side and meaty food on the west side. Seafood is on the north side.

On the north wall of the kitchen, there is a portrait of the Kitchen God. Below is the 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" and "Head of the Family" written on it to indicate the status of the Kitchen God.

The couplets "God says good things, and the lower realms keep you safe" are posted 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 in the house for the feast.

Rotten pig head, fresh double fish, bean paste and spikenard powder bait balls.

The man offers his daughter a drink to escape, and the king is happy to drink wine and burn money.

Don’t listen to the fight between your maids and slaves, don’t get angry at the filthy horns of cats and dogs;

I'll send you to the gate of heaven drunk and full. The ladle is long and the ladle is short, don't return to the clouds.

Begging for profit 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 Stove Lord and holds the rooster in his arms. Some people also let children hold a chicken and kneel behind adults. It is said that the chicken is the horse on which Lord Zao ascended to heaven, so the chicken 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 white rooster, it is commonly known as "white horse".

After burning the incense table, the house is filled with smoke and mystery.

Yang Fan poured wine and kowtowed, mumbling something. "Master Stove Lord, I beg you, old man, to keep my two ladies safe, mother and son."

After finishing reading, Yang Fan shouted "Lead"! Then pour wine over the chicken head.

At this time, if the chicken head flutters and makes a sound, it means that Mr. Zao has appreciated it. If the chicken head doesn't move at all, you need to water it again.

Yang Fan picked up the wine glass and poured the wine on the head of the big rooster. The thick rice wine spilled all over the rooster's head. The big rooster was so unhappy that it was impossible not to shake its head. Shaking his head desperately.

Seeing that the rooster was very active, everyone burst into praise. It seemed that this was the only way to show that the Kitchen God was satisfied. My family will be even more blessed next year.

After offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord, Yang Fan announced the opening of the banquet.

Suddenly, the whole family burst into cheers, and everyone was waiting for the master to announce the opening of the banquet.

Twenty large pots were already lined up on the yard in front of the kitchen, and the water was already boiling. Frozen dumplings are being served one after another, and the cooks are stirring the food with huge wire fences.

The stew that had been prepared last night and the freshly fried dishes were also served.

Yang Fan was eating with his ladies in the main hall.

This year there is one more person at the Eight Immortals table. On Yang Fan's left are Xiao Niangpi and Mei Xiang, on the right are Lin Yueru and Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was extremely happy. Although she didn't want any status, the lady actually asked her to come to the table for dinner. This is an affirmation of her status. Before the meal, the lady also sealed a big red envelope for her. Said it was money to buy her makeup and jewelry. From now on, Chen Xi will enjoy a share at home. It will be paid by Xiangyi.

Although the money is not much, only fifty taels a year, the meaning is different. Lin Yueru, Mei Xiang, and Chen Xi all valued 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. I will go to the capital tomorrow. After all, I have to visit 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.

"Master, have you set a date for your expedition?" Lin Yueru asked.

"Qin Tianjian said it was after the 15th, and those days are suitable for sending troops. I guess it is around 17th or 18th."

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 takes a long time. In the original history next year, there will be a major invasion of the Jin army in the second year of Chongzhen. Without real-time communication means, Yang Fan is worried. This area must be perfected.

The sacrifice to the stove is complete.
