Chapter 121 New Year
According to the records in the notebook,
The incident began when a hiker found a bronze bell in the Qinling Mountains.
It is well known that the Qinling Mountains are a convergence point of dragon veins, and many high-ranking officials and nobles in ancient times were buried here.
Therefore, the surrounding area became the most active area for tomb raiders.
This tourist accidentally missed out on some treasure while resting in a nearby town.
A group of desperados set their sights on the tourist.
Finally, the tourist had a knife held to his neck.
He not only revealed the location where he discovered the bronze bell, but also detailed how old he was when he wet the bed.
This group of desperados then led the tourist into the Qinling Mountains.
Interestingly, only the tourist returned alive in the end, and after he reported it to the authorities, the truth could no longer be concealed.
The news of another large tomb appearing in the Qinling Mountains spread like wildfire in the streets.
As a result, several groups of people went, but none of them came back.
"Qinling Divine Tree, there are still a few months until the system's hibernation ends."
Why not take this time to see just how amazing the sacred tree really is?
Let's also see if the ability to befriend animals works on the Zhulong there.
After making a decision, Cheng Feng poured himself a cup of tea and began to let his thoughts wander as he drank it.
It's a pity that this era doesn't have any hardcore anime/manga fans.
If you find a hardcore otaku and take him to the Qinling Mountains, he might just materialize a two-dimensional waifu.
Cheng Feng is very self-aware; he has a strong lustful desire, but his love for his two-dimensional wife is not pure.
Without a deep-seated obsession that reaches the subconscious, it's difficult to concretize anything concretely.
After sitting at home for a while, Cheng Feng went out to find the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect to assign tasks.
Cheng Feng plans to depart after the New Year for this operation, partly because working overtime during the Spring Festival is inhumane.
On one hand, this is also his first New Year since he came into this world.
And he also has a woman now. Although they are not married and have no children, he is no longer alone.
After leaving the house, Cheng Feng walked through the snowflakes to the bustling street.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone is starting to prepare for it.
On the street, most families came together to buy items needed for the New Year, and both adults and children had smiles on their faces.
Perhaps this day will be one of the most beautiful memories in a child's heart.
Those smiling faces will probably still appear in their minds from time to time when they grow up.
Just like any ordinary person, Cheng Feng strolled around the various stalls, stopping and starting, and soon his hands were filled with New Year's goods.
Cheng Feng stopped as he passed a stall selling couplets.
Then he took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.
"Could you please write a couplet for me based on this?"
The stall owner took the note, glanced at it, and quickly closed it again, then said:
"Please wait a moment, I will write it down for you right away."
After speaking, the stall owner took out red paper and then paint sprinkled with gold leaf, and with a few strokes of his brush, wrote a couplet.
After letting them air dry, the stall owner carefully folded the couplets and handed them to Cheng Feng, saying:
"Your couplet is only three yuan."
Without saying a word, Cheng Feng took out his money to pay the bill and then left with the crowd.
Not long after Cheng Feng left, the owner of the couplet stall immediately packed up his items and left.
An hour later, Cheng Feng returned home laden with bags and packages.
As soon as I got to my doorstep, I saw Hei Xiazi standing there with his arms crossed, trying to look cool.
"Oh, son-in-law, you've bought quite a lot of things. Come, let me help you carry some."
With his unchanging smile, Hei Xiazi approached and greeted him.
Cheng Feng didn't stand on ceremony with him and handed him the large slab of paper, saying:
What are your plans for the Chinese New Year?
Pushing open the gate, Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi entered the courtyard.
Little Flower came running out of the house excitedly to greet us.
"What plans could I possibly have? I spent a lot of money on you recently, how could I possibly be in the mood for the New Year?"
"Perfect timing! I'm going to the Qinling Mountains after the New Year. It'll be a 20% profit-sharing deal. Want to come?"
The two walked into the house and placed all the items on the table. Black Bear then sat down in a chair without any hesitation.
"I'm so embarrassed, son-in-law! It's like picking up money from the ground for you to personally lead the team!"
Black Bear chuckled and agreed.
He was very curious about Cheng Feng, and now that he had the chance to uncover Cheng Feng's secrets, how could he possibly refuse?
"Then get ready, we'll set off for the Qinling Mountains after the first month of the lunar calendar."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out the couplet, secretly praising the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect for their many talents.
At this moment, Cheng Feng casually said:
“If you have nowhere to go for the New Year, why don’t you have your New Year’s Eve dinner here? After all, you’re practically family to me.”
Black Bear paused for a moment, then his smile seemed to grow even brighter.
"Okay, but you'll have to prepare plenty of food, I have a big appetite."
While the two were chatting, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling returned together.
Business is particularly good at the shop during the Chinese New Year period, as some high-ranking officials and dignitaries need to give gifts.
Cheng Feng's two unassuming little shops happened to have the expensive gifts they needed.
Thanks to its good reputation, the store's sales channels have been fully opened up, and it is conceivable that next year will be another year of rapid development.
So both women have been very busy lately, as they need to review both the intelligence and the shop's accounts.
"I'm exhausted. My eyes are blurry from looking at all those numbers."
Upon arriving in the living room, Huo Ling couldn't help but complain.
After downing a cup of herbal tea with gusto, she looked at Cheng Feng with a resentful expression.
She was so comfortable being a hands-off boss that she was even a little envious of Cheng Feng's life.
"You've worked hard, have an apple to help you recover."
Cheng Feng handed the newly bought apples to Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, reassuring his two capable wives.
After all, they are human beings, not nuclear-powered donkeys, and they should still be given the emotional value they deserve.
"Stop trying to curry favor, Cheng Feng. You're not allowed to be so idle tomorrow. Come with us to check the accounts."
Chen Wenjin took the apple and said without any politeness.
Cheng Feng nodded reluctantly in agreement.
The bear next to him was laughing so hard his teeth were almost showing. Cheng Feng found him a bit of an eyesore and immediately said:
"Schadenfreude, huh? Why don't you go tomorrow too? You can temporarily fill in as the accountant, okay?"
"Huh? Is there a salary?"
Black Bear was stunned and asked instinctively.
"No, this is considered an end-of-year bonus."
Black Bear smiled helplessly. So working for free is considered a perk?
The days passed by in such a busy manner, and Cheng Feng and the other two were finally freed the day before the Lunar New Year.
Black Bear quit after just one day of work, saying before he left that this job was beyond the capabilities of a blind man like him.
It strains my eyes too much.
He arrived early on New Year's Day, carrying a bag of green peppers.
In his words, he wanted to show off his skills to the three of them.
Then, a dish of shredded pork with green peppers was added to the New Year's Eve dinner, standing out among the large amounts of meat and fish.
"Wishing everyone a long and healthy new year, living forever and living as long as the heavens, true immortals! Cheers!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng raised his glass.
"Okay, cheers."
After a glass of hot liquor, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.
Hei Xiazi and Cheng Feng were drinking and exchanging toasts, and Hei Xiazi would occasionally call Cheng Feng "son-in-law," which would draw Huo Ling's scolding.
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng laughed it off, neither denying nor agreeing.
The sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside were deafening, and 1985 became a thing of the past amidst the dazzling fireworks.
