Chapter 1148 Happy New Year

inner city.

After all, Li Yu didn't take Li Suxin to the classroom to do her homework, and the little girl ran away halfway.

Li Yu smiled and shook his head and returned to his residence.

In the yard.

He saw his grandfather holding a big writing brush and writing on red paper.

Li Yu stood aside, silently without speaking, watching his grandfather write on the red paper:

"First couplet: The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold

Second line: Catkins float in the wind with the warm sun

Hengpi: Peace every year"

Grandpa's calligraphy is very good, his writing is strong, and his fonts look very thick.

After my grandfather finished writing, he raised his head and saw Li Yu, and said with a smile:

"Xiaoyu, come and write one."

Li Yu said with some embarrassment: "My handwriting is ugly and my writing is not good-looking."

"Come on, try it."

Grandpa handed over the brush, and Li Yu had no choice but to step forward and take it.

Standing in front of the table, Li Yu thought for a while before writing.

"Heaven opens up new years, and people change the old world."

Li Yu's handwriting can't be considered ugly. When he was a child, he won the finalist award in the county-level calligraphy competition for primary school students.

After experiencing many hardships, Li Yu's handwriting adds a sense of vicissitudes of life.

As the city lord of Da Zhangshu Base, he has some aura, which makes the word written quite domineering, but it just doesn't look that good.

"Grandpa, I told you that my handwriting is not good-looking." Li Yu said awkwardly, looking at the crooked fonts.

Grandpa said with a smile: "When you were a child, I asked you to practice calligraphy. Every time, you would go to the house next door to watch the cat and mouse."

"but."

Grandpa looked carefully at Li Yu's writing.

He was quite impressed and said: "Although the font is not good-looking, it still has some strength. It's not bad. You can copy it another day."

While talking, grandpa seemed to remember something.

This is the end of the world, and there seems to be little point in practicing calligraphy.

Li Yu was quick-thinking, and when he saw his grandfather pause, he made some guesses.

So he said: "Okay, it's just a good time to sharpen your patience and exercise it."

Hearing what Li Yu said, grandpa also laughed.

"Yes, it's good to temper your character."

Li Yu chatted with his grandfather for a few more words and then left.

My grandpa used to be asked to write Spring Festival couplets every year.

No penny charged.

Before the end of the world, this kind of Spring Festival couplets always felt a little lacking in flavor when printed, so many people liked to write them themselves, or find someone with good calligraphy to help them write them.

Walking in the inner city.

Li Yu felt that the clothes he was wearing were a little hot.

Near noon, the temperature can reach ten degrees.

As the temperature rises, the sporadic green of the trees buried in the snow in the distant mountains and forests makes people feel comfortable.

When walking through the cafeteria, Li Yu smelled a strong aroma of meat.

White mist is steaming in the open air.

A large pot that is as tall as a person is steaming beef bones.

The beef soup is white as snow and bubbling.

Li Yu smelled the aroma of meat and felt a little hungry.

At this time, Li Yu smelled a faint, slightly sweet aroma of wine.

Smelling the aroma of the wine, he took a few steps forward.

It was found that in a small pit, some large vats that had been sealed were burned with weeds.

The weeds were still burning and sparks were flying.

The smell of rice wine wafts out from the large ceramic vat.

Li Yu was really greedy when he smelled it.

Looking at Aunt Zhou who was busy next to her, she said:

"Aunt Zhou, could you please bring me a jug of wine? I'll have a taste first."

After hearing what Li Yu said, Aunt Zhou said:

"City Lord, this wine is a bit overbearing."

Li Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, give me a pot."

Aunt Zhou hesitated for a while, but still gave Li Yu a pot.

A jug of wine weighs about a pound.

Li Yu watched Aunt Zhou scoop out the hot rice wine with a gourd spoon.

The beige drink looks delicious.

Seeing this rice wine, Li Yu thought of Wu Song fighting the tiger in Water Margin.

There was no distillation technology in that era, and the story of Water Margin talks about distiller's lees.

Then it is very likely that it is this kind of rice wine.

Eighteen bowls.

Tsk tsk.

Li Yu was wandering around the inner city carrying a wine flask. If it weren't for the fact that he was the city lord, others might think that he was a little bastard who had nothing to do all day long.

Carrying the wine, Li Yu was really greedy.

So he picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.

It's slightly sweet, not overpowering, easy to drink, smooth, with some heat.

Hey!

After a sip of wine, Li Yu felt extremely happy.

People come and go, all busy with New Year celebrations.

The New Year celebrations at Dazhangshu Base in the apocalypse are just one thing.

eat! drink!

After drinking, we walked around and returned to the residential area.

Oncoming cannon came.

Da Pao saw that Li Yu was so cool, so he said:

"Brother Yu, why did you start drinking by yourself?"

Li Yu was conscious and said with a smile: "It's just rice wine, it doesn't have much alcohol content, just drink it to satisfy your cravings."

Dapao looked at the wine bottle in Li Yu's hand and said with some greed:

"Give me a drink."

Li Yu shook the jug and drank all the wine in it.

So he said with a smile: "No, you have to go find Aunt Zhou to get a drink yourself."

After hearing this, Da Pao looked at Aunt Zhou in the distance and said, "Then I'll go."

After saying that, he ran towards Aunt Zhou.

"Aunt Zhou, is the alcohol content of this rice wine high?" Da Pao said with some doubts after walking over.

When Aunt Zhou saw the cannon, she thought about it and a smile flashed in her eyes.

He opened his mouth and replied: "It's not high, I just brewed it."

Hearing this, Da Pao felt that Aunt Zhou was right. What degree of alcohol could rice wine have?

So he said: "Give me two pounds."

The tone is not small, and the words weigh two pounds.

After Aunt Zhou heard what Da Pao said, she gave him two pounds without hesitation.

"This wine has no alcohol content."

Cannon took the rice wine and took a bowl directly.

ZiLiuLi——

Pour a full bowl.

Gudong, gudong.

Sweet and hot.

Comfortable!

Delicious.

It doesn't taste like alcohol at all, just like a sweet drink.

then.

The cannon bang bang bang bang showed off three more bowls.

He used a large bowl. After three bowls, one and a half kilograms were gone.

After finishing the drink, he carried the wine bottle and wanted to have some more.

Um?

Something is wrong.

Cannon felt slightly dizzy.

But not particularly dizzy.

He doesn't have a good drinking capacity, and he usually only drinks half a catty of liquor.

So he looked at Aunt Zhou and asked with some suspicion:

"Aunt Zhou, is there really no degree to this?"

Aunt Zhou said, "Hey, I brew it myself, no matter what degree it is."

Cannon narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why am I a little dizzy?"

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Just blow in the wind."

"oh."

The cannon felt right, so I carried the wine bottle and walked up the mountain.

It's windy on the mountain.

Half an hour later.

Ding Jiu saw Cannon sleeping next to the field ridge, walked over and patted him.

"Cannon, why are you sleeping in the field?"

"Cannon, wake up."

"cannon?"

Ding Jiu looked at Cannon, who was sleeping like a dead pig, saw the wine bottle in his arms, opened it and smelled it.

He shook his head helplessly.

"well"

So someone was called to carry the cannon away.

At noon.

There was a white smoke in the inner and outer city.

Steaming hot.

In the inner city.

open air.

The tables in the large dining hall have been moved out, and it feels a bit like having a banquet.

Dozens of tables.

The total population in the inner city is only a few hundred.

So I can sit down.

On the dining table, there are huge plates.

meatball.

Braised pork with pickled vegetables.

Steamed pork.

Mix green onions with tofu.

Eight dishes in total.

It was the most sumptuous banquet ever.

Li Yu almost laughed out loud when he looked at the cannon being carried away by Ding Jiu and the others.

One after another, everyone sat down.

Just at this time.

The second uncle came in with a group of people.

Li Yu turned around and saw that it was Jackal, Ant, Lao Bi, Lao Luo and others.

Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, Dongtai, and Lao Yi were not present, so they were not present.

Although Wu Jianguo was not qualified to enter the inner city, Li Yu and his third uncle discussed it and allowed him to attend the banquet in the inner city.

After all, the special team led by the third uncle, Lao Qin, Ant, and Jackal all attended the banquet, but he was the only one missing, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

This was the first time Ant came in, and he held Xiao Hei's hand.

Xiao Hei was jumping up and down, smelling the aroma of meat in the air, and was very excited.

"Xiao Hei, don't make any noise." Ant scolded.

Xiao Hei groaned, feeling a little aggrieved.

Li Yu stood up, walked in front of them, and then said: "Everyone, welcome to the banquet!"

Then he gestured to Li Hang, who was not far away.

Li Hang quickly stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Li Yu smiled and said to Lao Qin and the others: "Everyone, please come with me."

Lao Qin and Ant looked at each other, and then walked over with the others.

He walked to the center of many dining tables.

Li Yu said loudly:

"Today, I have good news to announce."

Sitting at the dining table, Yang Tianlong looked at Jackal and the others, feeling a little excited in his heart.

He had performed missions with Ant and the others, and for such highly capable seniors, he was naturally happy to see them become inner-city personnel.

Everyone was quiet and looked at Li Yu and Lao Qin and others behind him.

"What good news?" Li Hang praised appropriately.

Li Yu said with a smile:

"Today, these people behind me officially join the inner city starting today."

"First place, Qin Tianle."

"Joined our Da Zhangshu base for two years and made great contributions in several operations."

Li Yu counted Qin Tianle's previous contributions in detail, and even Qin Tianle couldn't remember some of them.

He didn't expect that there would be someone at the base to record this.

I was pleasantly surprised and a little moved at the same time.

This means that the Dazhangshu Base can always see and remember what you have paid.

After Li Yu spoke eloquently, he gestured to Qin Tianle with a smile and asked him to step forward.

Qin Tianle was a little excited. Although he was quite comfortable staying in the outer city, he also yearned for the inner city.

He stepped forward excitedly.

Li Yuan, who had already prepared the badge representing the Da Zhangshu Base next to him, quickly dragged the plate over.

Li Yu took the badge off the plate and pinned it on Qin Tianle's chest.

Everyone applauded, but there was no sound.

Clap your hands together but make no sound.

In the apocalypse, it is the quality of every survivor to avoid making too much noise.

Even with the current protection capabilities of the Da Zhangshu base, there is no need to worry about attracting zombies, but everyone still retains this habit.

"The next one is Luo Sanchang..."

Li Yu introduced everyone's contributions and achievements one by one, saying that these were to let people in the inner city know their contributions.

And also told Lao Qin and the others that the base has not forgotten your contribution.

I remember them all.

Next to him, Wu Jianguo watched this exciting scene and had mixed feelings for a while.

so good.

It took about fifteen minutes for Li Yu to finish talking about everyone's achievements and award them with Da Zhangshu Base badges.

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Yu raised his wine glass and said with a smile:

"Let's have a drink together and have a happy New Year! Good luck to everyone!"

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the New Year.

Li Yu drank it all in one gulp, and then continued:

"Everyone is hungry. Without further ado, I will announce that dinner is ready!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to cook!
