1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 86 Full Moon Wine

Luo Tao actually waited for Ma Weidu in the afternoon of the next day. He brought the good news that the manuscript had been published, and the manuscript fee was even more unexpected. He actually gave him nine yuan per thousand words, which is the highest manuscript fee among young writers. .

Luo Tao thought that the person who made the decision for the "Youth Daily" was also very courageous. As expected of the "Youth Daily", he dared to seek truth from facts.

In [-], the State Publishing Administration restored the remuneration system and stipulated that the manuscript fee for works should be [-] to [-] yuan per [-] words, and the manuscript fee for translation should be [-] to [-] yuan per [-] words.

Last year, 1980, the State Publishing Administration once again raised the basic remuneration to [-] to [-] yuan per [-] words for manuscripts and [-] to [-] yuan per [-] words for translations.

Writing novels is very popular these days. Nowadays, writers are all high-income people. The better ones are not short of money. If you still have your own job and write novels at the same time, it will be really enviable. If you marry, you must marry a writer. , you can definitely eat meat-filled dumplings the next day.

This time, another thousand dollars came into his pocket. Before the money was warm, it was handed over to Zhu Lin. Luo Tao was a little doubtful whether he was marrying a daughter-in-law or a Pixiu!

After sighing with emotion, we should live our lives honestly. Although the living allowance given by Zhu Lin is a little less, it is much better than those "harmonious wives" who only give ten yuan a day in later generations.

…………

"Brother, everything is ready and waiting for you." Hou Ming ran over from the east courtyard and said to Luo Tao. When he saw him again, he turned around and went to tease little October.

Little October is two months old, and her body bones have become much stronger, and she can now laugh.At the same time, he also started to be dishonest. He would wake up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog, causing trouble to Luo Tao and Zhu Lin.

Seeing that he was like this, he had no choice but to let him sleep with his mother, Su Guilan. Su Guilan was also willing to stay up late with him, and even slept with him after breakfast during the day.

"Oh ah"

This silly boy is willing to please others. Both Luo Shaoyi and Su Guilan said he is the replica of Luo Tao.

Today is the full moon banquet for Little October. Normally, a full moon banquet is held after the baby is born, that is, one month after the child is born. However, in order to take care of Zhu Lin and Xiao Shiyue, we chose to hold a double full moon banquet.

This double full moon party is a full moon party held two months after the child is born. Most people usually choose to have a double full moon party.

In addition to the double full moon wine, there are three types of wine, the twelve dynasty, and the stealing of the full moon wine.

The family has been busy with this for the past two days. Zhu's mother is busy making some small clothes for children, and Su Guilan is busy making red eggs.

The day was chosen for everyone to rest and take a bath.

The only guests were the Luo and Zhu families, Huang Yuanchao and Hou Ming, and the rest were the neighbors.

You don’t need to invite your colleagues to this happy event, but you have to invite your neighbors. If something happens, they can really help. We have known each other for several generations. They are a group of unrelated relatives.

"Let's go, watch the little guy having fun, but I'm afraid no one will play with him." Luo Tao likes it more and more now. Thinking about it, it would be better if he can get up early and go to bed early if he is not too noisy.

"Brother, little October really loves to laugh," Hou Ming said enviously.

"Hey, that's what you said, can you cry if you don't laugh?"

"What are you talking about? Let's go there quickly!" Seeing that he was talking nonsense again, Zhu Lin quickly stopped him and urged him to go to the east courtyard and let Xiao October go meet everyone.

"Um"

Zhu Lin walked away with little October in his arms, while Luo Tao and Hou Ming followed behind pushing the car.

"Coming" someone shouted.

Good guy, dozens of people gathered around to take a look at this smiling little October.

There is no one in this alley who has not seen this little guy who loves to laugh. When there are more people, a lively atmosphere will naturally arise.

The praise was endless, and everyone rushed to see Xiao Shiyue, no different from the fans of later generations.

Little October is not shy either. She always smiles when she sees everyone. When she gets tired of laughing, she turns cute. She is so adorable that she has won the hearts of many grandma and grandpa fans.

The most important thing is done, and the banquet can begin. There are four tables full of people sitting in the second courtyard, one table has a standard configuration of eight people, and there is another table in the main hall with Zhu's father, Zhu's mother, Luo Shaoyi, Su Guilan, Lao Zhangtou and the others.Huang Yuanchao and Hou Ming did not serve the table, but were responsible for serving the dishes. The chef they invited did not care about serving the dishes. There is no one-stop service for banquets yet.

The master chef only agreed to come because Luo Tao often went to Fengze Garden to eat, otherwise he would not do such a derogatory thing.

When I came, I brought two apprentices with me. They were only responsible for cooking. They didn't care about washing the vegetables, rinsing the dishes and serving them.

Luo Tao was determined this time. He started looking for people to collect various tickets before he was born in October, and asked the chef to choose dishes so that he could buy them one by one.

In the end, I chose 26 dishes, eight cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, two desserts, two staple foods plus one soup and one fruit after meal. This is a luxurious feast.

Niulanshan Erguotou and Jingcheng beer were used for drinks, and Luo Tao was not generous enough to entertain these guests with high-priced wines such as Maotai, Jiannanchun, and Xifeng.

This good wine is not enough for him. In the past few years, he has collected hundreds of bottles of famous wines, including two bottles of 30-year-old wine. Luo Tao was really reluctant to drink it, and this drink was really gone.

The last time Mr. Zhang came, Luo Tao opened a bottle of 15-year-old Xifeng, and Mr. Zhang praised him non-stop. The older the wine, the more fragrant it is, which is rare.

Today's wine is not like water in later generations. Some liquor actually has a shelf life. If you think about it, the longer it lasts, it will become poisonous wine.

During the dinner, Luo Tao came every once in a while to toast the old neighbors and ask how they were doing.
Everyone said it was good. Not only was the portion generous and rich, but the taste was beyond words. It was so good.

When the sun was in the west and at its peak, the neighbors had almost eaten. Before the banquet was over, Luo Tao asked them to go back and bring things to pick up the vegetables and take them back to eat in the evening.

There is nothing embarrassing about this. It is all based on the principle of frugality. It is impossible for Luo Tao's family to eat all the food. As neighbors, they should help share the burden.

In recent years, I haven't heard of anyone dumping their leftovers. The dog is often hungry. No one has ever raised it as a son, so it is responsible for barking when someone comes.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you all today. This is the lucky money. There are also these three red envelopes. There are some red eggs, some sugar and snacks in them. Don't be too little." Luo Tao handed them over one by one. On their hands.

Master Liu paid one hundred for Xiqian, and his two apprentices paid fifty. This was also a generous sum.

"You are too polite. I have never seen such a sumptuous banquet. Then we will go back if there is nothing else."

Master Liu said goodbye and Luo Tao was not surprised. He should go back to catch up on the party and go back to Fengze Garden to cook the evening meal.

"Okay, I won't keep you here either. The car is right outside. I'll ask someone to take you three back."

"Okay, we can leave after collecting our things."

"Then you guys are busy first, and I will come over to see the three of you off when you leave."

"Farewell, you have a lot of things to do today. Let's just finish it easily. When you have nothing to do, you can often go to Fengze Garden. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Definitely. After being busy for a while, I will try the craftsmanship of all the masters."

"Okay, you are busy"

"Hey" Luo Tao went into the front yard and directed the cleaning. After clearing the table, he had to send it back to the neighbors.

Everything was busy until sunset, and everything on the stove had to be dismantled and cleaned.

In the evening, Su Guilan and Zhu Mu Zhu Lin prepared the dishes. Together with the lunch dishes, they also made a large table. Everyone sat under the grape trellis, drank wine and talked about today's protagonist, Xiao October.

Don't say that the little guy was tired today and fell asleep after feeding some milk, otherwise everyone would hold him and make him laugh, and if he didn't laugh, they would stare at him.

After dinner, Luo Tao sent Zhu's father and mother back, while Hou Ming and the others were responsible for taking Lao Zhangtou back to Sanmiao Street. Today, his daughter, Sister Zhang, also came, but she didn't stay for dinner. The facts at home were worrying her. Incapable of doing anything else.

Little October's full moon wine is over, let's just wait for him to grow up healthily.
