Chapter 300 He Zui Confesses
The New Year's Eve dinner started at 6pm. At 7pm, Chen Wenjiu was already full and sat aside watching others eat.
From Grandpa Chen to Uncle Chen, Chen Yongtao, Chen Mingyang, Chen Jiayang, Aunt Deng Shurong and Chen Wenjiu's mother Li Siyue, they were all drinking.
Only Chen Wenjiu drank Orange Juice. Now that she was full, she sat aside watching others drink and chat.
Lin Qingmei held Chen Yi and fed him. Although the boy had been trained to eat by himself, it was rare for Lin Qingmei to be close to her own son, so she fed him.
Of course, Lin Qingmei also knew that if she often fed children, the children would get used to being fed by adults and would not want to eat by themselves, so she only fed her son today.
After eating and drinking, Chen Wenjiu left at 8pm. She had stayed here with everyone for an hour, and she didn't want to sit any longer.
After all, the stools used for eating are all plastic stools, and your butt will really hurt if you sit for a long time. Chen Wenjiu has been working for nearly two hours, and she wants to leave.
"It's almost eight o'clock, and it's dark. It's time to set off fireworks." Chen Wenjiu stood up and looked at the dark sky outside and said.
"Are we going to set off fireworks?" Lin Qingmei asked with interest, but her excited face froze, "The captain has already shouted before that fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed."
Although everyone just set off firecrackers before eating the New Year's Eve dinner, she also knew that everyone was violating the rules. If they set off fireworks again, wouldn't it be even more blatant?
"Don't worry, we are setting off electronic firecrackers and electronic fireworks." Chen Wenjiu said with a smile.
Now it is forbidden to set off fireworks everywhere, even in a slightly remote rural area like theirs. Chen Wenjiu will certainly not violate the rules casually. You know, her hotel is very popular. What if she is reported for setting off fireworks?
So Chen Wenjiu ordered electronic fireworks directly from Gao Xinfeng. The sound and light of electronic firecrackers look the same as the real ones, but there is no smoke and various firecracker papers scattered all over the ground, which is still very convenient.
She remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, her grandmother complained that there would be a lot of firecracker papers every time she set off firecrackers. If it didn't rain, it would be better and it would be convenient to sweep. But when it rained, the firecracker papers got wet and stuck to the ground, which was very difficult to sweep.
This electronic firecracker will not have such a problem.
Electronic fireworks are similar. When they are set off, they will be as beautiful as real fireworks, but they will not produce smoke or leave debris. They are very safe and environmentally friendly.
"Of course, except that the sound is a little loud." Chen Wenjiu said embarrassedly.
But if fireworks and firecrackers don't make any sound, are they still fireworks and firecrackers? Didn't the legend say that the fire and loud sound of fireworks and firecrackers scared away the Nian beast? Even if it is improved to become electronic fireworks and firecrackers, its characteristics of fire and loud sound will not be changed.
"Crackle, crackle--"
The village was filled with the sound of electronic firecrackers, and then heard the sound of "Swoosh--bang--", and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky.
The electronic firecrackers and electronic fireworks in Maoyang Village were all bought at the big supermarket. Chen Wenjiu purchased the goods after cooperating with Gao Xinfeng, and then sold them at the big supermarket.
Anyway, the villagers have to buy firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year, so it is better to buy electronic ones directly at their big supermarket, so there is no need to worry about polluting the environment when setting off fireworks and firecrackers.
"I'm leaving first. Our hotel will start the fireworks show at 8:30. Remember to watch it." Chen Wenjiu reminded his family, and after saying goodbye, Chen Wenjiu hurried back to the hotel.
"Biu--bang--"
Chen Wenjiu heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers along the way, as well as the beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky. The shapes of these fireworks are very beautiful, and they are not inferior to those specially customized real fireworks at all.
She ordered these fireworks from Gao Xinfeng. Gao Xinfeng, a top student in the mecha manufacturing department, was quite helpless when she asked him to study electronic fireworks.
But he was actually very interested. He led other students in their department to study a lot of beautiful electronic fireworks and made a lot of them for Chen Wenjiu and others.
Of course, since the research was done, electronic fireworks and electronic firecrackers have been directly set up in factories and manufactured on assembly lines. Gao Xinfeng and his group of students in the mecha manufacturing department and the mecha maintenance department next door do not need to make them by hand.
Gao Xinfeng is very interested in the Spring Festival at the hotel. He also told Chen Wenjiu to remember to go to the interstellar plane to notify them during the New Year. If they catch up with them during their rest time, they can come to see the lively New Year and fireworks show.
At 20:30 on New Year's Eve, a beautiful sea of fireworks bloomed over Wenjiu's hotel.
"biu——bang——"
Bursts of sound rang out, and bunches of fireworks rushed into the sky and unfolded. The entire Wenjiu hotel and Maoyang Village seemed to be surrounded by fireworks.
Beautiful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky. Although the beauty of fireworks was fleeting, it also amazed everyone.
Chen Wenjiu stood in front of the door of the hotel and looked up at the fireworks in the sky. Then she felt someone approaching her. When she turned around, she saw He Zui.
"Why are you out? Are you watching the fireworks too?" Chen Wenjiu looked at He Zui and asked.
"Watch it with you." He Zui said with a smile. He looked at Chen Wenjiu and said seriously, "I feel like it would be a bit regretful not to watch such a beautiful firework show with you."
Chen Wenjiu's heartbeat accelerated a little. When she looked at the man in front of her who was too handsome to look like a real person, not only did her heartbeat begin to accelerate, but she also felt that her face and ears were gradually getting warmer.
"I wish I had never told you about my origins?" He Zui looked at her and said, seeing her shaking her head slowly, he continued with a smile, "I am a monk from the plane of cultivating immortals, and I am a chef. build."
"My parents are elders of Jianzong, my father is the elder of Qifeng of Jianzong, and my mother is the elder of Yaofeng of Jianzong." He Zui looked at Chen Wenjiu and said, "I also have an older brother, he is the chief disciple of Jianzong. , and I am a chef who is out of place in Jian Zong.
"Actually, according to the setting of the novel, conditions like mine should be considered a control group. My brother is very outstanding, a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years, and the chief disciple who is admired and recognized by everyone in the Sword Sect."
"And I am just an ordinary chef. I don't think about how to become stronger through cultivation. Instead, I study cooking skills all day long."
Chen Wenjiu frowned slightly after hearing this, "Do you look like the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress? And why can't the kitchen cultivator be promoted?"
The myths of their Longhua Kingdom include the God of Food, the God of Cooking, the Kitchen God and other legends about cooking gods. How come if it is replaced by He Zui's world of immortality, the cooking cultivator cannot ascend?
"Of course this is the setting of the control group in the novel, but in fact my family is very good to me." He Zui said with a smile, "It should be said that whether it is my parents or elder brother, they love me as the youngest. ”
He Zui felt that he should be a group favorite. Of course, the term "group favorite" was something he learned during his time in modern times.
And he felt that he was the favorite of the Sword Sect. After all, his parents were both the masters of a peak. His brother was also the most outstanding young talent of the Sword Sect, and his cultivation level was also very high. They all loved him very much.
Whether it is his parents or his brother, as long as they have something good, they will give it to him. Because he likes to study cooking skills, they will try their best to find various ingredients and seasoning materials for him. Not only will they not think that he has become a chef It's embarrassing, but he is extra supportive of his hobbies.
Of course, when he was studying cooking, he couldn't let his cultivation level fall behind, so his parents and brothers would give him various resources to improve his cultivation level. Afraid that his combat effectiveness was not high, He Zui's elder brother would often grab his younger brother to fight against him, which improved his combat effectiveness.
His father is a weapon cultivator, so in addition to having a large storage space, He Zui also has a variety of defensive magic weapons. There are also offensive magic weapons, but most of them are defensive magic weapons.
Father He was worried that his son would be bullied by some ignorant people when he went out, so he prepared countless life-saving things for his son.
The same goes for He Zui's mother. As an alchemy cultivator, she also stuffed countless elixirs into He Zui's space, all with various effects.
As the great elder of the Sword Sect, He Zui's grandfather also doted on his little grandson. Basically, he gave more of his good things to the younger grandson. Although he would also give the older grandson's resources, they were all given to him. The eldest grandson fought for it himself.
Also because of He Zui's hard-core family background, all his family members doted on him, and everyone in the Sword Sect was polite to him. From the head of the Sword Sect to the handyman disciples, everyone was polite to him.
"Actually, I am 255 years old this year." He Zui said with a smile.
Chen Wenjiu: "!!!"
"255?" Chen Wenjiu's face changed in shock. She looked at He Zui in front of her and couldn't tell that he was over 250 years old.
"The appearance of us immortal cultivators will basically not change. Aging will be delayed from the beginning of foundation building. After the golden elixir stage, the appearance will basically be fixed and will not change."
"And I gained the Golden Core when I was 25 years old. It's been more than two hundred years now, and my appearance still looks exactly the same as when I was 25 years old." He Zui lowered his voice and explained to her.
Chen Wenjiu: "..." Is she really shocked?
"You are much older than me..." Chen Wenjiu was really surprised. She is not even a fraction of his age, okay? Don't talk about her, her parents are not even a fraction of his age.
"But my appearance hasn't changed much?" He Zui said with a smile, "And I was obsessed with practicing and studying cooking before, and I never fell in love. You are the first person I like."
Chen Wenjiu's face suddenly turned red when she heard this, her heartbeat was even more disordered, and she was speechless.
She originally thought that she was not a shy person, but when He Zui told her that he liked her, she was completely dumbfounded.
He Zui bent slightly and looked at the girl in front of him, smiled and said, "Jiujiu, I like you, will you be my girlfriend?"
