As night falls, the whole world goes silent. Even though I have been working hard for a year to fill my stomach, I am now back in a warm home without a stove. I have a wife, children and the elderly, and the food on the table may not be rich. It's even a little shabby, incomparable to the cat and dog food of some wealthy families, but this is the best meal these people eat in a year.

He went from abject poverty to great wealth in half a year. If it weren't for the eternal golden finger, even the male protagonist Wang Busheng would probably still be struggling at the poverty line, trading his dignity for food that can't fill his stomach.

Wang Busheng, who already has a place on the rich list of Songjiang Prefecture, this year's New Year's Eve is extremely luxurious and lively. Because the Wang family has a large population, and because some workers who have traveled far away did not go home and stayed in the snack factory to celebrate the New Year, the Wang family's New Year's Eve dinner was It was placed in the staff canteen of the snack workshop. Leng Bingbing led several women in the family to cook and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. However, it was obvious that in the Wang family mansion, except for status, women were lacking in any skills. Xiaohong , well, I'm a minor, I guess I can't carry a bucket of water. Besides, the other minor, Jing Hao, is a minor. Her major is to treat people, and she can only treat people. She can't do housework or anything like that, so leave her. In the professional field, after eating the food she cooked, I guess she would have to help treat everyone all night long. And Xiaolu, well, she is an adult, but she used to be a killer, and the machete turned into a kitchen knife. Isn't this very strange? Violation. The other two women, Leng Bingbing is a monk on the way, and her cooking is so-so. There is still a big gap between Wang Busheng and Miao Cuihua. Compared with Miao Cuihua, Wang Busheng has now become an official, and he is a little uncomfortable cooking in person. It was appropriate, so the important task of cooking fell on Miao Cuihua, and the other comrades could only help.

The rest of the people were eating melon seeds and peanuts. Some gathered around to fight landlords, while others watched TV.

Because of the war and Zhu Xiluo's inaction, the development of the Ming Empire was far different from that of other countries. Televisions that had been popularized in ordinary households in foreign countries were still a luxury item in the Ming Empire, and most of the ones that could be consumed were for officials. This has also led to the fact that the current TV programs are very single. There are only a few programs that come and go. "The Inequality between Men and Women" played by Zhang Jingjun and Liang Chaoxian is a popular drama and has received good response from the audience, so it is played on many TV stations on a loop. , and even some TV stations broadcast it dozens of times in a year. Of course, this is a benefit to advertisers, and it also increases exposure. You can cycle ads hundreds of times a day, which is really cheap and high-quality. Ah, compared to the TV stations in the previous life who tried every means to attract advertisements and seek sponsorships, TV practitioners in this era do not have so much pressure, because their wages are not linked to the business, but are responsible for the local yamen, and because of their professional Specialty, they will be treated kindly by the local government, the wages prescribed by the court are never in arrears, and there are often various subsidies, a carefree working environment, and a carefree living environment. This is what many migrant workers can ask for. Yes, this is also the easiest place to make achievements, but a TV station without a reward and punishment system also limits the development of the TV station. In addition to advertisements, TV dramas are still played over and over again, and a star's song will be played from morning to night.

Wang Bushit also wanted to make "The Wandering Earth" to dazzle the audience of the Ming Empire, but Wang Bushit gave up. Firstly, his profession was not suitable. After all, Wang Busei was a cook in his previous life, and secondly, the current Ming Empire did not have that kind of technology.

On New Year's Eve, a family reunion day, watching the plot of "Gender Inequality" on TV, Wang Busheng missed the days when there was a Spring Festival Gala in his previous life. Although it was also terrible, at least the program appeared for the first time. If not, it would be okay. Seeing Xiao Tiantian's pretty face, Wang Bushu turned off the TV a long time ago and went to watch the ants fight.

However, a thousand Newtons will produce a thousand kinds of gravitation. For ancient people who lacked entertainment, they could watch two dogs fighting for a whole day and talk about it for a week. Although the plot of "The Inequality between Men and Women" is Wang Bu Sheng seems to be very average, but it does not affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie at all.

Bored, Wang Bushu took out his cell phone and sent a text message to someone he knew. Maybe today was New Year's Eve and everyone was free.

The first ones to reply to the text message were Fu Jia Yifang and Lao Immortal.

Below we briefly describe the content of the text messages between the two.

"Master, happy New Year, I wish you blessings like the East Sea and a long life."

"Wang is not dead, shut your mouth and crow's mouth. Master is now in front of the tomb door of the Tomb of the Living Dead. Is there any way you can open it? Please help me quickly. It's too cold. Master is anxious to go in and warm up." This is A text message from a wealthy party.

It is said that after hearing Wang Budie's words, there is an ice bed in the Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain, which is very suitable for people to sleep after death. The wealthy party takes their own affairs very seriously, in order to pull the ice bed into their own Luxurious Tomb, the day after receiving the news, he took Lao Immortal to Zhongnan Mountain. It has to be said that pursuit comes only when there is need, and speed and passion come only with pursuit. The other is over fifty, and the other is already The old man, who was over 100 years old, arrived at Zhongnan Mountain in just a few days and successfully found the Tomb of the Living Dead.

For someone with such perseverance and pursuit, Wang Bushu respected everything, so he sent a message back.

"Master, what material is the tomb door made of?"

"Nonsense, everyone is quite poor. The tomb door can be made of gold, so of course it is made of stone."

"This is easy to handle, just blow it up with explosives."

Wang Bushi believed that with the level of architecture in feudal society, even the palace, there was nothing that could not be solved with a bang.

"You are stupid, what if the ice bed inside is blown up? Master's work will be in vain."

"Well, that makes sense." Wang Busi thought for a while, and then made up another text message, "Master, go down the mountain to find a man named Zhang Qiling."

"Zhang Qiling, what is that person's profession? He specializes in unlocking. Has he registered with the Yamen?"

"Absolutely, other people's bronze doors can be opened, so your small stone door shouldn't be a problem."

I miss the days when I had my third uncle. I brought Zhang Qiling here to protect and develop the Tomb of the Living Dead. Maybe Xiao Longnu is still here, the lover of my dreams for two lifetimes, Wang Busui sighed.

The old man also replied to the message, and the content was very short, just four words: "I want to eat chicken."

The Tomb of the Living Dead will definitely not be built in a downtown area. It is naturally a barren mountain. It is difficult to sleep on a chicken, and it is not easy to eat a chicken.

Wang Busui was helpless about what he was going through, so he replied with a message, "Grandpa, close your eyes and think about it."

Wang BuSi replied to the message but did not receive a reply from Lao BuSie. He must have closed his eyes.

A qualified subordinate should not only give gifts to his boss during the holidays, such as the Li family and the Li family, but a text message of greetings is also essential, so Wang Busheng compiled another text message and sent it to Hao Liande. His immediate boss, Wang Busui, was disappointed because more than ten minutes had passed and he had not received a reply from Hao Liande.

Putting away the text message in half-hearted mood, Wang Bushu complained in his mind, "Eunuchs really don't have a nightlife. If you go to bed so early, you will definitely be an incited pig in your next life."

In the Jinyiwei Yamen in the capital, the stove was being heated, and Hao Liande, who was eating melon seeds and playing cards with several colleagues, couldn't help but sneeze.

Hao Liande couldn't help but touched his nose and picked up the cards in his hand.

Also playing cards were several senior members of Jinyiwei, such as Jinyi Qianhuqian Liexian and others.

"Sir, you see it's the end of the year, and it's time to pay the wages that the court owes the lowly officials." Holding the card in his hand, Qian Liexian asked carefully.

Another poker player stared at Hao Liande with longing eyes. It was obvious that he was also a victim of wage delays.

"Lord Qian, you also need to understand the difficulties of the court." Facing the bitter subordinates, Hao Liande was also a little embarrassed. This was also the reason why Hao Liande turned off his phone three days ago. After all, there were too many people asking for salary from him, and Hao Liande didn't want to The repeated rejections disappointed the brothers during the Chinese New Year.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites has prepared as many as 10,000 taels of holiday gifts for all of you."

"Ahem" Hao Liande has long known about the issue of celebrating Boxing Ceremony, and this policy has been implemented for several years, and many officials have supported it. Hao Liande can't do anything if he wants to object, and he has to offend many people, and he has to deal with the card. Hao Liande said seriously, " My lords, you have worked hard for a year, and it is understandable that the court will give you some benefits, which are just your wages. I think the court will definitely remember it. If the court becomes rich, it will be paid to you immediately."

"But,,"

Prostate wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Hao Liande, "Sir Qian, you are the emperor's personal soldier. You must trust the imperial court and the current emperor."

Qian Liexian was speechless. If he said a few more words, it would be that he didn't believe in the imperial court or the current emperor. This was a very serious crime. They didn't want to fail to ask for their salary and go to jail during the Chinese New Year.

Some people live in high-rise buildings, some live in deep valleys, some shine brightly, and some are covered in dirt. There are thousands of kinds of people in the world, and when you meet them, you know that everyone has their own suffering.

Don’t forget that in this world, the thing that penetrates all high walls is deep in our hearts, and that is hope, of course, including the hope given by others.

Day after day, year after year, maybe next year, Qian Liexian can only comfort himself in this way.

Seeing the disappointed subordinates, Hao Liande had no choice but to say, "I still have some here. When I go back, I will give some to the brothers to survive the New Year."

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the New Year's Eve dinner at Wang's mansion was finally filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas. While Wang BuSheng showed off his wealth, it also reflected Wang BuSheng's love for everyone.

With plenty of food and plenty of wine, the Wang family mansion was filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of singing and dancing.

The New Year's Eve dinner at the Wang family mansion arrived very late. The table was in a mess with cups and plates, and the dishes were bottomless. In order to avoid going crazy with alcohol, Wang Busheng had made a rule in advance. Everyone's wine was limited, so no one got drunk.

There is a tradition of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve, so everyone has no plans to rest in a hurry. Today is a rare time to relax. Everyone has fun and enjoys the laughter and tears in the TV series. Wang Bushi had no idea of ​​having fun with the people. He took out his mobile phone, thought of words, and sent a text message, "I miss you."
