Chapter 52
The New Year is approaching, and Luoshan City is very lively.

In the shops on both sides of the road, every household has new year goods for sale or gift.

For example, if you buy ten catties of meat at a butcher shop, you will get a couplet for free.

This was something Lin Dong never thought of. He thought that only the wineries of later generations could think of this.

From this point of view, there is actually not much difference between the ancients and modern people. The biggest point is probably that there is no media explosion.

As for the others, perhaps the ancients could do very well.

Lin Dong, who was carrying ten catties of pork and a pair of couplets, took a deep look at the butcher shop, and after a moment of emotion, he turned around and wanted to go back.

"Master, buy some of this, this, and this?" Duan Yu grabbed his Taoist robe at this moment, pointing pitifully at the pastry shop and other shops beside the road.

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he continued: "By the way, there are still firecrackers. Is it still fun to not set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?"

After touching his pocket and feeling the weight, Lin Dong smiled and slapped Duan Yu: "What's going on next year? I'm not as rich as your family as a teacher."

Duan Yu's head was deeply lowered, like all the children in Luoshan City.

They also want everything, but unfortunately they were all prevaricated by their parents with various words, and most of them seemed very unhappy.

However, children don't hold grudges, and soon they continue to fight their parents vigorously.

However, Duan Yu is a sensible child, he swept through the shops in disappointment, and finally did not speak again.

"However, for the New Year's Eve, I can't let you down as a teacher, just buy some."

Seeing Duan Yu being so wronged, Lin Dong held his little hand with a smile, and said, "Let's go, why are you still standing there?"

"Master, don't you have no money?"

"It's true that being a teacher is not as rich as some heroes, but it's not that you don't have nothing at all. You can save all the money you spend as a teacher on weekdays."

"In other words, I can choose a lot of pastries?!"

"It's impossible to choose, I'll buy you a few at most, and go and see which one you like."

"Master, you are very kind. Yu'er's parents have lived apart since he was a child. His father is busy with official duties most of the time, and his mother..."

"Don't flatter, go pick it out, be careful to go back on your word for your teacher, then you won't be able to say anything else."

Lin Dong interrupted Duan Yu with a smile, and followed him into the pastry shop.

Not to mention, once he came in, his senses became different.

The taste of all kinds of pastries mixed together is extremely sweet, even if you just take a deep breath, you will feel that your whole person has become different.

Lin Dong is also a foodie. He didn't think about buying it before, mainly because he wasn't sure if it was good or not. He planned to make it himself.

But now he realizes how outrageously wrong he was.

In this era, not to mention other things, at least the pastries will definitely not be inferior to future generations, especially without packaging, the various flavors will definitely make people salivate.

"Master, are you here?"

The owner of the pastry shop was smiling and facing the customers, when he suddenly saw the newcomer Lin Dong, he hurriedly ran over to complain to the customers: "Why did you come in person, ask someone to bring a letter, and I will send it to you later How nice to go."

"It's New Year's Eve, and the apprentice wants to go out for a stroll, and the poor Taoist is also very quiet and wants to move, so he comes out and walks around."

Lin Dong explained with a smile, then looked at the customers in the store, and said that the business is booming: "You better stop following me, the store is so busy, don't worry about me."

When the boss heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "That's not acceptable. If it weren't for you, Taoist priest, my son would have already..."

Lin Dong interrupted the boss, and said with a smile: "Business is more important, not to mention that the whole family eats by this."

"If a layman really wants to chat with Pindao, he can go to the Qingfeng Temple outside the city at any time, but this year's festival has passed, but he can only wait another year."

The boss wanted to be polite at first, but seeing the dizzy guys busy in the shop, he could only helplessly say: "That's okay, I'll go there first, Taoist priest, if you need anything, just ask, and you won't charge money."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, but did not speak.

"Master, don't these guys steal food on weekdays?"

Seeing that the boss had already left, Duan Yu wiped his saliva and furtively pointed to those busy guys.

"will not."

Lin Dong shook his head and said with absolute certainty: "First of all, most of these people are relatives of the boss, and they all want to make a living here. If the business fails, they will be finished."

"Secondly, the moment these guys enter the store, the boss will force them to eat a lot of pastries, and they may eat more than ten catties in a day. After that, most of them will have a psychological shadow on the pastries, and will never... ..."

Duan Yu lost his mood after listening halfway through. He took Lin Dong's hand and began to choose pastries: "This, this, and this, wrap them up for us!"

Lin Dong: "..."

Damn, this apprentice is a bit evil...

As soon as he thought of this, he quickly said in his heart: sin, sin, monks can't swear, even if they think about it!

……

Duan Yu picked about three catties of cakes, Lin Dong took advantage of the boss not paying attention, settled the bill with the very shrewd accountant, and left quickly.

As for whether the boss will regret not explaining later, this is not something he should think about.

People don't need his money, but he can't refuse to give it.

This is the rule.

In addition, there is also a certain educational significance, which can make Duan Yu understand at this age that favors are great and difficult to repay.

Hearing Lin Dong's nagging again, what rules and favors, Duan Yu felt that his head was getting bigger, he could only shrink his neck helplessly and said: "Master, you don't need to say these things, Yu'er has already knew……"

"That's right, I'm still a member of the royal family, how can I not know?" Lin Dong nodded as soon as he thought about it, and stopped talking.

It was already afternoon when we returned to Qingfeng Temple.

Lin Dong first dealt with Duan Yu indiscriminately, and then started to put up couplets and hang some lanterns on the ladder.

Chinese New Year's Day is the most important custom. Most people will be busy during this period even if they are busy on weekdays.

Maybe it will be very tiring, but the tiredness is very fulfilling, and there is still a faint sense of happiness in my heart.

"Master, let the disciples come!"

In the afternoon, Qiao Feng, who managed to stagger a little time, came back. Looking at the area in the yard that hadn't been cleaned up, he didn't roll up his sleeves and started doing it.

"I'm all busy at home, thinking that you only have Junior Brother Duan to help you here, so I hurried over here as soon as possible."

At the same time, he did not forget to explain.

Since then, even if Lin Dong has relaxed, watching his two apprentices work, he still feels a sense of happiness in his heart.

Especially a few random words of guidance from time to time magnify this sense of happiness a lot.
