"Mr. Fang, even if you want to withdraw, are you in a hurry right now? You can't even wait for tomorrow, so you have to come and tell me tonight?"
"Let's discuss this matter carefully."
Xu Mingjing didn't listen any more and returned to the room silently.
She believed that Wei Zhiqian must have done this!
Because of Wei Zhiqian's words, these people didn't even dare to spend the night, so they rushed to cancel the cooperation.
Later, Xu Mingjing learned from Yuan Zhengwen that Yuan Yi had lost one-third of his business.
Exactly what Wei Zhiqian said.
When he said it was one-third, it really was one-third.
Of course, these are things for later.
*
In a blink of an eye, it’s the Spring Festival, the day of the New Year’s Eve.
On this day, there were many things to do at the old house, so Wei Zhiqian was rarely able to come to talk to Tan Mo.
But it was the same in previous years. Tan Mo knew that Wei Zhiqian was particularly busy on this day and the first day of every year.
Probably because we had seen each other every day before.
Even though she hasn't taken vacation yet, she is still at Beijing University.
But I can also see Wei Zhiqian every night and live together.
Unlike now, there are not as many opportunities to meet Wei Zhiqian after holidays as before.
Although there are many, in Tan Mo's opinion, even seeing them every day is not enough.
But on New Year's Eve, Wei Zhiqian was not seen all day.
I can't even see him at night.
Tan Mo sighed, really wanting to say Happy New Year to his uncle in person at 12 o'clock.
However, Tan Mo could not be depressed for long, and her family became busy, so she did not have much time to think about Wei Zhiqian.
Since the morning, Tan Jinqi has been writing Spring Festival couplets in the study.
In addition to Spring Festival couplets, many blessing characters must be written.
After Tan Jinqi wrote a few pieces, he rubbed his wrist.
Xu Mingzhen said that he should not waste his good handwriting.
The ones written by oneself are different from the ones bought from outside. The ones written by their own hand are naturally unique and more meaningful.
When the time comes to post it outside, people will be envious and unable to buy anything.
Tan Mo also said on the side: "I like to read the words written by my eldest brother the most."
So Tan Jinqi rubbed his wrist and continued to work hard to write the word "福".
And there was no idle talk.
Xu Mingzhen assigned him a task and asked him to draw a new family portrait.
Tan Jinyi draws a new family portrait every year.
Tan Mo said: "Our family's family portraits are different. Other people's family portraits are photos, but ours are paintings."
Tan Jinyi's oil paintings are very detailed and realistic. When you look at them with a magnifying glass, you can see even the fine texture of the skin.
Many people who don't know it will be confused at first glance whether it is a painting or a photo.
Xu Mingzhen said that every year the four brothers and sisters grow older, they will have different new looks.
As for her and Tan Wenci, every year she gets older, she will gain new wrinkles.
Therefore, the family portrait should be updated every year.
Every time when the Chinese New Year is approaching, Tan Jinyi starts to get busy, trying to finish the family portrait before 0:00 on New Year's Eve.
Tan Jinsheng has not been assigned such a task. Xu Mingzhen can't let him compose a song for his family every year.
So Tan Jinsheng, Tan Mo and Aunt Guo did the job of making dumplings together.
Talk about dexterity, learn quickly, and master quickly.
At the age of 14, I was already very skilled at making dumplings.
What Tan's family didn't expect was that Tan Mo, who could learn everything instantly, had no talent at all when it came to making dumplings.
However, they didn't know if Tan Mo had no talent for cooking, or if he only had no talent for making dumplings.
They couldn't let Tan Mo cook anyway, right
Talking about Mobao dumplings, a normal amount of meat filling is placed in the middle of the dumpling wrapper.
No matter how hard she pinched the dumpling wrapper, the filling would always leak out and she couldn't wrap it up.
But in fact, she didn't put too much stuffing.
In order to wrap all the stuffing, the stuffing was leaking here, so she would pull the dumpling wrapper here.
The stuffing was leaking on that side, so she went to pull the dumpling wrapper on that side.
The dumpling skin is already thin, and if you pull it around, the dumpling skin will break.
Therefore, Tan Mo tried to add less stuffing.
But what she put away was really too little, at most it was only as big as a fingernail. What was left was a lump of dumplings, which was inedible.
However, Tan Mo still wanted to join in the Spring Festival labor.
The whole family is busy, but she is the only one doing nothing. How awkward.
There was no other way, so Aunt Guo thought of a way.
Dumplings during the Spring Festival come with various fillings.
In addition to normal fillings, you can also make rice cake fillings, which means that every year is high.
Jujube stuffing means attracting wealth and treasure.
Brown sugar filling means red and fiery.
Chestnut stuffing means early establishment of seeds.
Having a child early or something like that is not something that talks about.
However, chestnuts were prepared according to custom.
Whether it is rice cakes cut into cubes, dates, brown sugar cubes or chestnuts, they are all whole and not afraid of falling apart.
You can talk about how to wrap the ink without tearing the skin.
Therefore, although this kind of stuffing may not be delicious, it is also used to celebrate the Spring Festival and bring good luck.
There are not many of these stuffings, and whoever eats them means receiving good blessings for the coming year.
This kind of delicious stuffing is all left to Tan Mo, and because the quantity is not large, there is no need to worry about tiring her.
However, Bian Tansheng deftly picked out a handful of meat fillings with chopsticks, then picked up shrimps placed in another glass bowl and placed them on top of the meat fillings.
Then the four fingers of both hands are interlocked and the dumpling wrapper wrapped with meat filling is placed in the palm of the hand.
Hold the edge of the dumpling wrapper with your index finger, fold it in half, and pinch it gently.
The belly of the dumpling filled with meat filling was squeezed into shape from the palm of the hand, as plump as the belly of a gold ingot.
On both sides of the dumpling, two ears like ingots were pinched out from the tiger's mouth.
The white and plump dumplings took only a few seconds to take shape in Tan Jinsheng's beautiful hands.
Tan Mo pouted, picked up a piece of rice cake, and put it into the dumpling wrapper.
She couldn't hold a fat dumpling in one hand like Tan Jinyi did.
I can only use my fingertips to pinch the edge of the dumpling wrapper tightly.
Because there was no need to worry about the fillings being exposed, Tan Mo was finally able to follow the method in the video tutorial and wrap the edges of the dumplings to look like two braids.
Just right, it can be distinguished from dumplings with normal fillings.
Although the fillings on Tan Mo's side are small, the fillings on Tan Mo's side are slow.
Aunt Guo, Tan Jinsheng and Xu Mingzhen worked together to wrap the dumplings, and Tan Mo was about to wrap up the part he was responsible for.
Aunt Guo took them to the kitchen.
I just wait until after 0 o'clock in the evening to cook and eat.
Aunt Guo was cleaning up. Tan Mo went to wash off the flour on his hands and sent Wei Zhiqian a WeChat message.
