Chapter 343: Festivals of Chaoyang Kingdom
After training the new delivery staff, Gu Xiaoyou watched them take up their posts and worked continuously for more than two months.
After resting for several days, when she returned to work on the street, she occasionally listened to the guys chatting and discussing about novelty streets.
"Where is Novelty Street?" Gu Xiaoyou heard that this street was interesting, so she asked curiously.
"Boss, you don't know yet, our Anyang Street in Lutan has been renamed Xinqi Street," the waiter said.
"Changed the name?" Gu Xiaoyou asked in surprise: "Who changed it?"
You don't even need to ask her, the street owner, to change her name?
Does charterer Mu Wuchen know?
Are people today so willful?
Gu Xiaoyou asked three times in her mind, blinking at the guy.
"The name on the map hasn't changed, it's just the nickname they gave me, saying it's easy to remember." The waiter said, pointing to the customers outside.
The delivery boy who came in to pick up the food said, "Yes, even the adults I deliver food to know about Novelty Street."
"It's a nickname." Gu Xiaoyou touched his chin and thought for a while: "Xinqi Street is pretty easy to remember, so whatever."
She shrugged and accepted the new name of Anyang Street in Lutan.
When she returned to the mansion in the evening, she shared her nickname with Zhou and Zhixia, but they already knew it.
"I changed my name a while ago."
"Yes, I have known this for a long time. Don't you know?"
"If I had known, we would have told you."
Gu Xiaoyou had black lines on her face. She just rested at home for a few days. It sounded like she was isolated from the world.
The next day, the sun was clear and the sun filled the entire capital.
Gu Xiaoyou got up early and just finished washing when Zhixia walked in with a bowl of dumplings.
"What day is today?" Gu Xiaoyou asked after taking a bite of dumplings.
"Today is the Beginning of Winter." Zhixia poured a cup of barley tea and said, "Dumplings are eaten at the Beginning of Winter, didn't you know?"
"I know, but I didn't expect that Chaoyang Country also eats dumplings in winter." Gu Xiaoyou muttered in a low voice.
It is strange to say that Chaoyang Kingdom does not have a Mid-Autumn Festival, but it does have a Double Ninth Festival.
What’s even more strange is that the Double Ninth Festival here is actually a mooncake-eating festival.
When she was eating mooncakes made by Zhou, she really had a philosophical question.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
She felt relieved after eating it. Isn't it just mooncakes eaten during the Double Ninth Festival?
She can eat glutinous rice balls during the Spring Festival, but she just doesn’t know if there are Chinese New Year and glutinous rice balls?
Gu Xiaoyou took a bite of the dumplings and decided to study the festivals of Chaoyang Kingdom carefully.
After eating dumplings, Gu Xiaoyou, Zhou and Zhixia made a carriage and walked to Xinqi Street together.
The three of them chatted for a while. Gu Xiaoyou pretended to be casual and said calmly: "It's the beginning of winter today. Is there anything else you want to eat besides dumplings?"
"No, just eat dumplings." Mrs. Zhou replied.
"Oh, are there any other festivals where we eat dumplings?" Gu Xiaoyou asked, tilting her head.
Mrs. Zhou thought of the mooncakes and asked curiously: "During the Chinese New Year, you girl don't even know how to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, right?"
"Of course I know, let me test you." Gu Xiaoyou chuckled, it would be great if the New Year comes.
"Miss, you don't seem to know much about festivals." Zhixia asked curiously: "Don't you even know about festivals?"
"Come on, my parents used to worry about me at home, but after I left home, it became a little unclear." Gu Xiaoyou explained vaguely, and then said: "Hey, why don't you tell me what else is there?
?”
"Think about it, slave." Zhixia counted on his fingers and said, "After the beginning of winter, the next festival is the Chinese New Year, then the Lantern Festival, the Cold Food Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival..."
As Gu Xiaoyou listened, he made a note in his mind that the festivals of Chaoyang Kingdom were similar to those of the Celestial Kingdom, except that there were no Xiaonian, Qingming, and statutory public holidays...
I just don't know if the customs are the same, but with Zhou and the others here, she doesn't have to worry about the festival.
As long as she doesn't expose her secrets in front of others, that's fine.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoyou applauded Zhixia: "You are so awesome. You remember so many festivals."
"What's so great about this? Miss, you are teasing me." Zhixia blushed and said shyly.
"I really think you are awesome. I can't even figure out the date." Gu Xiaoyou spread his hands and said innocently.
"Why are you living so confused?" Zhou said in disbelief.
"Hehe, I'm a little worse in this regard." Gu Xiaoyou smiled sheepishly, there was nothing I could do, the calendar on the phone couldn't be used at all.
"It's okay, I will remember it for you," Zhixia said considerately.
"You are the best, my little Zhixia." Gu Xiaoyou hugged Zhixia's arm and leaned against her shoulder.
"Just spoil her." Zhou shook her head helplessly.
"Hehe." Gu Xiaoyou stuck out his tongue playfully.
"You." Mrs. Zhou gave her a funny look and got down to business: "We'll go to the restaurant later and let's make some dumplings for the guys."
"I know how to make dumplings, let's do it together." Gu Xiaoyou responded positively. Last time she didn't know that mooncakes would be made during the Double Ninth Festival. Zhou and Zhixia made them and distributed them to the employees.
This time she couldn't be lazy and had to act like a boss.
"Okay, I asked Sister-in-law Wu to buy the ingredients yesterday. Let's make dumplings when they arrive and have dumplings for everyone to eat at noon." Mrs. Zhou said.
"Well, besides dumplings, I'm making some other food. There are other ways to eat besides dumplings in my hometown." Gu Xiaoyou suggested. She wants to be a good and qualified boss this time. Besides dumplings, there are other ways to eat.
Make some mutton stove or something.
"How to eat it?" Zhou asked with concern. After all, the food Gu Xiaoyou makes is novel and delicious.
"In the north we eat dumplings, and in the south we eat mutton stew, ginger duck, and braised sesame oil chicken." Gu Xiaoyou introduced.
"Wow, it sounds delicious. Is your hometown divided into north and south?" Zhixia asked in confusion, does a town still celebrate two kinds of Beginning of Winter?
"Well, my hometown is very big, and the south and north of the city are far apart." Gu Xiaoyou explained casually.
"Don't worry about that anymore, I'll show you my skills when the time comes."
"Okay." Zhixia and Zhou responded, looking forward to Gu Xiaoyou's new delicacies.
While they were talking, the carriage stopped at Anyang Street in Lutan. The three of them looked around in their respective shops, exchanged a few words with the waiters, and then went to the backyard of the barbecue shop to ask Sister-in-law Wu for ingredients and prepare to make dumplings.
In the pavilion in the backyard, Zhou quickly chopped the beef and mutton into meat fillings, and Zhixia also washed and chopped the vegetables quickly. Each took a basin and mixed the dumpling fillings.
