Chapter 662: Waiting for the Firework Show

Translator: 549690339

Not only did Huo Jiling follow Li Muyao’s instructions, but he also almost messed up the way he ate the dumplings.

As long as Li Muyao could tell how to eat it, Huo Jiling made it out. Frying, frying, steaming, boiling, braising, Huo Jiling made every kind of dumpling.

Fortunately, Huo Jiling didn’t make many dumplings of each kind, because Li Muyao only ate one of each kind.

Huo Jiling ate the rest alone.

Li Muyao was at least from Hunan Province, so she could only make six or seven dumplings with flour.

After tasting every dumpling, Li Muyao felt that she wouldn’t want to eat dumplings for the next six months. She couldn’t help but ask Huo Jiling, “”Ling, are you not tired of dumplings?

Also, do all the people of Jin City like to eat dumplings? If you can’t eat dumplings after the festival, it can’t be considered a festival, right?”

Huo Jiling was still sitting at the table eating fried dumplings. He nodded as he ate, “Yes, of course, there are some people who don’t like dumplings, but there are only a small number of them.

When I was overseas, I would often make a lot of dumplings and put them in the fridge to freeze.

I often work overtime. If I can’t order takeout at mealtime, I’ll make dumplings to eat.

In the early days of the business, I almost got hurt by the dumplings I made. After that, I would only eat once or twice when I returned to Jin City during the New Year.

As they grew older, they no longer ate dumplings, but feelings and an atmosphere.”

Indeed, it was difficult for Huo Jiling to start a business overseas, but now that he thought about it, it was a wonderful memory filled with all kinds of feelings.

Li Muyao nodded.” That’s true. When people grow up, many actions become feelings.” Even if you guys designed the game, it would still be the same. When you first came out of the game, the people who played were still students. After 10 or 20 years, these students would have grown up.

As adults, they had less time to play games.

No matter how much he played, he was no longer the same group of people who played games together. Therefore, he persisted in playing, and he also played with feelings.”

Li Muyao’s words instantly gave Huo Jiling a good idea of a game marketing plan. Huo Jiling smiled and said,”Yes, I’m nostalgic for the past.”

After Huo Jiling finished eating, Li Muyao and he cleaned up the kitchen, took the fireworks sticks they bought, and carried a small bag. Then, they went out hand in hand.

If it was anywhere else, there would be very few people going out on New Year’s Eve.

However, it was different in Pinglan County. Basically, everyone would start eating New Year’s Eve dinner at three or four o’clock in the afternoon. After eating until five or six o’clock, they would go out to the square in the county to play.

They were just waiting for the fireworks show at nine o’clock in the evening and twice the fireworks show in the early morning.

Li Muyao and Huo Jiling arrived at the square before five o’clock. It was not even dark yet, but there were already people everywhere. Moreover, everything today was more expensive than usual.

However, the people who went shopping wouldn’t say anything because it had already become a custom.

Of course, the stall owners would only be expensive from the afternoon to the early hours of the New Year’s Eve. Other times, it would be at the usual price, and this price increase was also random, which was a two-fold increase in the usual price.

It could also be considered as compensation for those who responded to the call of the county government on New Year’s Eve and continued to set up stalls to sell things.

Yes, the first batch of people who set up stalls were all personally negotiated by the county government. That was why there was a custom of increasing the price. After all, it was the new year, and no one was willing to set up a stall in the cold wind. Moreover, they might not be able to make money.

Besides, there was no end to money. It was the New Year, and everyone wanted to go home and celebrate it.

With this increase in price, there was no need for the county officials to invite them from the second year onwards. Those vendors would take the initiative to set up their stalls. Not only them, but also many people who wanted to make a sum of money on the last day of the new year.

That was how it formed its current large-scale.

Of course, there were rules for setting up stalls. Therefore, there were many people in the square, but it was not chaotic. The public security was very good, and there was a police station on duty in the square. There would be five times more manpower today than usual. Yes, there was an ambulance parked at the side of the square.

“Not bad, very lively. I like this kind of atmosphere. It really feels like the new year.”

The lanterns in the square were all replaced by red lanterns, and the light they emitted was red and gentle. All the vendors were wearing red or festive shirts, hats, scarves, or shoes.

All in all, there was always a red spot on every vendor’s body. The broadcast in the square was even playing the New Year’s song in a low voice. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

It was true. Huo Jiling felt that this was the real New Year. It was really lively.

They formed groups of twos and threes, chatting and eating. Children, old people, young people… They all smiled. The visual impact of this scene was new to Huo Jiling.

However, she felt exceptionally comfortable and yearned to come here again next year.

Lively but not noisy. People who liked the quiet would like this kind of festive and harmonious atmosphere.

“Right? I really like the taste of the new year. I’m just afraid that if our county learns from the big cities and bans firecrackers and fireworks in the future, there might not be such an atmosphere and liveliness.”

Li Muyao wasn’t worried about this for no reason. Later on, Pinglan County really banned firecrackers and fireworks like other big cities.

Without the fireworks display, the traditional dragon dance, and opera tunes, why would they come to the square to enjoy the cold wind?

Without these, no one would be willing to come.

With no one around, it naturally became quiet, just like how Li Muyao’s relationship with her family later on.

“Such good customs should indeed be maintained. If we ban firecrackers and fireworks like in Jin City in the future, there’s no need to do so.

At most, the firecrackers and fireworks would be of the environmental protection type, the smoke-free type. At most, they would be more expensive.

“If we can find more companies like my family to sponsor us, then this tradition can continue. Don’t worry, it definitely won’t disappear.”

Huo Jiling was telling the truth. Of course, he was also planning that every year in the future, whether he and Li Muyao came back for the New Year or not, he could use his own name to fork out a sum of money to support the fireworks show in Pinglan County on New Year’s Eve.

“Hehe, Ling, you’re right. At most, we’ll sponsor smoke-free fireworks with our own money. “In short, as long as he had the money, there was nothing he couldn’t solve if he wanted to continue.

One had to know that many large-scale amusement parks in the future would have fireworks shows to watch, so in order to attract more people!

Therefore, Li Muyao felt that anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

In the past, he didn’t have the ability, but now that he had the ability, he didn’t want to be like in his previous life, where Li Muyao couldn’t even go home during the new year.

In the future, no matter how long she was away from home or what she was doing, Li Muyao could always find an excuse to ” go home and watch the fireworks “. She could go home to celebrate the New Year and come to the square to join in the fun. She could reminisce about the different people who accompanied her every year..
