Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

The New Year is a big event, and the whole family needs to be together.

After Su Zhan cleaned their rooms for the old man and his good brother, the two of them arrived as promised and opened the door of Shen's house before the end of the year.

It's been a while since we last met, and Cheng Daqian has obviously become more proficient in the use of metal powers. Perhaps it's because the escort profession often involves dealing with masters. His powers have successfully broken through to level two in a short period of time, and he can follow suit quickly. It shot straight up like a rocket.

However, old man Cheng didn't dare to use it openly outside, so he used the excuse of "learning a good concealed weapon" to ask the blacksmith to make some delicate knives and take them with him. From time to time, he would take them out to show off in front of his brothers. This also caused his beloved knife, which he had never left his hand for decades, to be downgraded to second place in importance, which surprised the people in the escort agency.

The door of Shen's courtyard was knocked open, and as soon as the father and daughter looked at Cheng Xi, they noticed the difference in his waist.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Changed your style?

It's just a little weird for a big man to wear a small cloth bag around his waist.

"The new knives I made are so easy to use, aren't they?"

"Didn't you say before you got old that a man should use a big sword?"

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, but the sword has already fallen out of favor and taken a back seat.

"You, my daughter, are so unreasonable and unforgiving."

Cheng Daqian saw through the joking in her eyes, "Your father and I have different metal powers, thanks to these knives."

I hope you don’t mind this thing, it’s so girlish.

Cheng Xi nodded in agreement while curiously taking the few knives that Cheng Daqian took out. The knives were only a tiger's mouth long, with a small handle and an extremely sharp blade that glowed coldly in the sunlight.

It just looks a bit familiar

"Dad, you won't name it Xiao Cheng Feidao, will you?"

"What's little Cheng Feidao - eh? It sounds nice, but if you really want a name, it has to be old Cheng Feidao!"

Cheng Daqian's eyes lit up, "Daughter, your proposal is a good one."

"No, no, I'll just talk casually, and that's all you'll hear."

Cheng Xi didn't want to make the same model as Xiao Li's flying knife - if he wanted to do it, he would have to make something more unique.

"Dad, can we see how you use this knife?"

"Watch!"

Cheng Daqian waved his big hand and several knives on his waist flew out instantly, flying out with an unstoppable momentum. Several clearly audible sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the air, and then they were firmly nailed to a wooden stake a few meters away.

penetrating.

"Ouch!"

Everyone marveled in unison, secretly thinking about how to use their own powers to resolve this thunderous blow.

"Dad, you are amazing!"

This move is much harder to resist than it was more than half a month ago.

The attack just now was not only fast, but also combined with the Cheng family's natural power to increase the force to the maximum. If it were placed in the end of the world, it would be difficult for even a third-level metal superpower to withstand it.

"That's right, no matter who I am, there are really not many people who can convince your father and me when it comes to martial arts."

There are very few martial artists in the entire Dayan Jianghu who can admire Cheng Daqian.

Cheng Xi looked at the wooden pile with only the handle of the knife left and was convinced.

Cheng Daqian was extremely proud to see his daughter's adoring eyes. As usual, he showed off a knife-throwing skill in front of others and then looked back to make his presence felt. He looked at the cold young man who came in behind and smiled nonstop.

"Fuguang boy, what's your superpower like? Come and show it to Uncle Cheng!"

"."

Fu-guang, who looked confused, slowly put a question mark on his forehead.

Ability?

That's something.

Why can't he understand?

And what happened to Mr. Cheng's flying knife just now? Why can't he feel the internal force fluctuation?

"Ah, don't you know this?"

"." What should he know?

Fuguang looked confused, and from the corner of his eye he saw his sister's slightly smiling mouth, which made her even more confused.

He hasn't been back for more than a month. Why does it feel like several years have passed? Something must be wrong.

"Did I miss something?"

"That's not."

Cheng Dagan had a look of pity on his face, even a bit like he was watching a good show, "You've been very busy this year~"

Although he likes to compete with others for their abilities, this person could also be his daughter or son-in-law, but compared to this, he prefers to see how people take drugs and become doubtful about life.

The others all cast meaningful glances at him, including Wang Shu, who had always been a man of few words.

"Brother, you may be busy this year."

Fuguang: "???"

Tell me clearly, what is going on?

No one in the Shen family answered his questions. After all, some things can only be more shocking if you experience them yourself, so this year Yu Fuguang said was anything but peaceful.

When the family happily gathered around the red-hot iron stove and prepared New Year's goods with clear division of labor, Fuguang drank medicine bitterly with an ice face and felt the repeated torture of the world view and three views.

Shatter, reshape.

Broken and reshaped.

When he finally awakened his superpower and walked excitedly from the training room to the warm spring hall, he saw a large rack of dumplings for New Year's Eve dinner. Even Mr. Xu and Cheng Daqian were covered in flour and were working hard to fill the dumplings with fillings. Set the shape of the dumpling skin.

The two old men were arguing over who made the better-looking dumplings. Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi were chatting and laughing. Their sister's usually cold face gained a little warmth. As the head of the family, Shen Xingluo was silent but full of momentum. Control the whole place.

Fuguang: "."

Is this family no longer able to accommodate him?

Somewhat redundant.

"coming?"

Shen Xingluo didn't stop rolling out the dough. He just raised his eyes and glanced, "What kind of power has been awakened?"

"Master, it's the fire element."

Fuguang quickly came back to his senses, turned his hand to condense his superpower, and a small golden-red flame burst out from the palm of his hand.

"What? Fire element!"

Cheng Daqian was so shocked that he almost threw away the half-packed dumplings in his hand, "You boy, wearing a face of ice that can freeze people to death all day long, actually activates fire powers?"

"Old man, it is indeed a fire power. It is true."

Fuguang twitched the corner of his mouth, his face turned red.

He didn't know why he awakened the fire power, it was quite unexpected. "Son-in-law, didn't you say that this superpower is related to my temperament?"

"Generally yes."

Shen Xingluo also had a bit of surprise in his eyes, looking at Fuguang up and down, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Superpowers are actually a manifestation of hidden factors in the body. Human beings often become more outstanding and talented in certain aspects because of what they are good at. This aspect will be easier to activate when stimulating superpowers."

Therefore, Mr. Xu activated the wood element, Cheng Daqian activated the metal element, and Wang Shu activated the ice element, which was more or less related to his own personality.

Examples like Fuguang are few and far between.

"Ouch~"

Cheng Dagan believed it, "I didn't expect that this guy Fuguang is just a little cold on the surface, but actually he is very hot inside!"

If it hadn't been for today's incident, he might never have known about it.

When everyone heard this, their gazes on him suddenly changed, and there was a hint of meaning in the joke.

Fuguang: "."

***

As the New Year approaches, the capital becomes lively at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The alley where the Shen family is located is connected to the most prosperous main street. The family has experienced this liveliness firsthand. Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can see the red lanterns hanging at the entrance of each shop. In the evening, candles are lit, and the connection is illuminated by the firelight. In a line, they are lively and flamboyant.

Most of the people who can live in the alley have little savings, and the neighbors have hung up red lanterns one after another. The children put on brand-new cotton clothes and jumped from one end of the alley to the other, their little faces glowing with a healthy pink color from exercise.

People came and went in the shops along the street, and most of the customers were buying New Year's goods. From time to time, a sedan chair passed by, and soon someone's noble daughter stepped down from it. Her graceful figure quickly disappeared into the Rouge Shop, and the vendors on the roadside shouted. It seemed louder.

"Sister-in-law, how do you like this yellow one?"

"It's pretty good. I think it would be suitable to make you a dress."

"I'll also make one for my sister-in-law."

Shen Xingqi happily picked out the colors, planning the yellow one for herself, and selected a batch of dark gray cloth for Mr. Xu at home, while Wang Shu silently paid for it in the back.

On New Year's Eve, Cheng Xi took the two of them shopping all the way to the end of the street. They spent about a hundred taels on cloth, firecrackers, pastries, and jewelry. It was already evening when they returned home.

The red lanterns hanging in front of the Shen family courtyard light up the way home, and the couplets just pasted on both sides of the wooden door are very festive.

The Shen family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is simple and sumptuous.

It's simple because apart from a dozen plates of chubby dumplings, there are only a few green and refreshing side dishes on the table. There are no fancy fish or meat, and it looks very simple.

The reason why it is said to be rich is because the dumpling fillings are very rich.

The vegetables in the small courtyard are growing well after being carefully cultivated by Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu. The wooden troughs above are filled with lettuce, spinach, lettuce and other green vegetables. The bottom layer has enough soil to plant a lot of leeks. green.

The leaves of leek are green, wider and thicker than ordinary leeks, the pseudostem is very long, the color is white, and the texture is soft and delicate. Because it is cultivated using measures to avoid light, the fiber content of leek is low, and its taste is It's closer to leek. It's fragrant and tender after being minced and made into dumplings with diced meat.

Cheng Daqian has a strong taste and loves this bite the most.

Cheng Xi prefers the modern three-fresh stuffing. Pork, shrimp, and eggs are mixed together, and an appropriate amount of seasoning is added to mix well. The taste is fresh and rich.

In addition, in consideration of the other Dayan aborigines at home, they also made dumplings stuffed with chopped cabbage and pork, which received unanimous praise from Mr. Xu.

After a group of people took the genetically modified fluid and stimulated their powers, their appetite increased greatly. It was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people. The amount that usually satisfies a person with more than 20 dumplings soared to 50. For example, Cheng Daqian's stomach could even fill up to 70 dumplings. The breath is dry to .

This also made Shen Xingqi, who was in charge of the kitchen, sigh. If Su Zhan hadn't repeatedly told her that she had enough money at home, she would have gone out to find a shop to sell the embroidery on consignment.

"dinner time!"

After a shout, Mr. Xu took the lead and took the main seat, and the others found a seat to sit down.

The custom of celebrating the New Year in the Yan Dynasty is very close to modern times. On the New Year's Day, after offering incense and memorial to the elderly, you can eat dumplings.

Of course, it is unavoidable to set off a firecracker and listen to the noise before meals.

Cheng Daqian stood in the yard and hung a red firecracker on a tree. He took a few steps back and shouted angrily to the side:

"Brother Fuguang, it's up to you!"

With a stupefied face, Fuguang waved his right hand, and a small flame flew towards the firecracker, instantly igniting the long printed words.

"Bang-bang!"

"Haha, this fire power is really easy to use!"

"."

Brother Fuguang expressed that he did not want to speak.

Ever since they learned that he had awakened the fire attribute, these people had teased him a lot. Almost every sentence he said would include the word "fire". He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The Shen family was not alone in the sound of crackling firecrackers. As the sky became darker and darker, other houses in the alley announced that dinner was ready one after another. The sound of firecrackers continued for a long time before stopping.

Everyone looked towards the sky, and the fireworks in the imperial city exploded colorfully in the sky.

At this time, everyone in the Shen family had already eaten the dumplings that had just been cooked.

The dumplings stuffed with chives and greens are greener in appearance and can be distinguished at a glance. The dumplings stuffed with three delicacies are small in size, much smaller than the other two. The dumplings stuffed with chopped cabbage are the most normal, and one bite is just right.

The dumplings with three kinds of fillings are all meat dishes, and they go well with a few stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Facts have proved that the Shen family's appetite is astonishing. Most of the last few hundred dumplings went into the stomachs of a few people. If it weren't for the custom of having more than one meal every year, I'm afraid the last few dumplings in the small bowl would have been eaten.

"Sister-in-law, shall we play leaf cards?"

"Okay, bring me two more pictures, I'll stay up all night."

"Then I'll make a pot of tea."

After dinner, several people sat in the living room around the iron stove and kept vigil together. Firecrackers sounded from time to time outside and never stopped. I'm afraid not many people wanted to sleep this night.

Mr. Xu was restless, studying medical skills with a book in his hand. Cheng Daqian couldn't sit still. He pulled Fuguang and taught him how to practice his powers, and finally moved from the living room to the training room.

Everyone had their own way of passing the time. 12 o'clock in the morning came quickly, and Cheng Xi had just finished playing the cards in her hand. She stretched and moved her limbs.

"Is it time to set off firecrackers?"

"Leave it to Fuguang."

Shen Xingluo answered and poured her a cup of tea to soothe her throat, "Are you sleepy?"

"It's not bad. I feel a lot more energetic after playing a few rounds of cards."

"I'll go to bed after eating dumplings and wait a minute."

"." She was really not sleepy.

Isn't it just staying up late? How can a modern soul lose in this regard?

Cheng Xi was quickly slapped in the face.

As soon as the morning passed, firecrackers were hung on the big tree in the Shen family courtyard again. As usual, after being handed over to Fuguang, there was a loud crackling sound.

Immediately, a strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the yard, and the same sound of firecrackers was heard from the neighbors, mixed with the cheers of children.

"It's Chinese New Year, it's a brand new year!"

Even though Shen Xingqi is still a child, she is happy to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. She can't help but feel emotional, "I still remember that the village was closed by heavy snow last year, and few people in the village set off firecrackers to celebrate. It would be good to have a full meal." (End of Chapter)
