Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

On New Year’s Eve, every home is brightly lit, like the Milky Way shining on the earth, reflecting the strong festive atmosphere and the warmth of home.

The sky is dotted with colorful fireworks. They bloom in the air and fall quietly, just like people’s beautiful expectations for the New Year.

On the streets, children are playing and laughing, adding a lot of excitement and liveliness to this New Year's Eve.

"Tian Zhen, hurry up, everyone is waiting for the onions, ginger and garlic in your hand."

"Here I come, why are you rushing me? I am the only one supplying the condiments to so many of you. It's already great that I can do it so quickly."

"That can't be helped. You can't cook."

The fat man took the chopped garlic, onion, ginger, and peppercorns from Wu Xie's hand with a smile and put some into each pot, making sure not to leave out any of the main ingredients.

Wu Xie looked at Hei Xia Zi indignantly. He was holding a kitchen knife and cutting vegetables. The sharp knife was flying in his hand, leaving an afterimage.

"Fatty, is your blanched meat ready? Yuncai is waiting for it."

"Okay, okay, this is authentic three-line meat, processed very cleanly, without even a trace of fishy smell."

Huo Xiuxiu took the meat handed to her by the fat man, walked around Pan Zi who was walking towards her, and went straight towards Yuncai.

"Zhang Mo, where are the barbecue ingredients and sweet noodle sauce? I'm going to put the sauce on my barbecue."

"It's in the cabinet on my left. Please get it yourself. I don't have my hands free right now."

Zhang Mo sat on a small stool and threaded the chopped beef cubes onto the skewer one by one.

Pan Zi took the seasoning and turned to leave, not noticing Xi Liu behind him. Xi Liu dodged sideways and saved the dish in her hand just before Pan Zi bumped into her.

"I'm sorry, Xiliu. I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention."

"It's okay, just go, your barbecue smells so good it's about to burn."

Xi Liu smiled and waved her hand, put the dishes in her hand into the steamer one by one, and put some firewood into the stove.

"Aning, where are these drinks? Jiang Zisuan brought them here, and he asked me to ask you."

"I don't know either. Go ask Mr. Zhang. He will definitely know."

"Ok."

Liu Sang muttered, holding a box of wine, and walked towards the living room with Jiang Zisuan who was waiting behind him.

Zhang Yecheng sat leisurely on the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and the sound of his hearty laughter floated in the living room.

Liu Sang and Jiang Zisuan glanced at Zhang Yecheng and without asking any questions, they simply piled the drinks in the corner next to the TV cabinet.

"Master Huaer, have you seen Master Xiao San?"

Bai Haotian looked at Xie Yuchen who was standing next to the barbecue grill and shouted loudly. Xie Yuchen turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate.

"Some of the condiments were not bought, so he went out to buy them."

"Oh, okay."

"Brother, I can cook these dishes. Go check if the steamed dishes are cooked. Be careful not to burn your hands."

"I know. I'll be there right away."

Han Yan stir-fried the dishes that everyone had prepared one by one in the wok. Zhang Qiling watched her busying herself in an orderly manner, and when he was sure that there was no room for help, he turned and walked towards the steamer with little steam.

In the huge house, laughter and joy collided in the air, and everyone's face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles, like a spring breeze blowing on your face, making people happy.

The Manchu-Han Banquet, a total of 108 dishes, were served on the table one by one with everyone's joint efforts.

Zhang Yecheng stared at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, not wanting to blink.

At the dinner table, everyone's laughter intertwined into a warm melody, the taste of which was more intoxicating than the most delicious food in the world.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses together and celebrate being together again on this New Year's Eve."

"Fatty is right. We should raise a toast together to celebrate this moment. Brother and Hanyan are both back. This can be considered a true reunion."

Yun Cai and Bai Haotian smiled at each other, responded to Fatty and Wu Xie's call, and stood up with their glasses of wine.

Everyone stood up one after another and raised their glasses together under the bright lights and the fireworks blooming in the sky.

The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the wine splashed and fell on the back of everyone's hands.

"drink!"

Zhang Yecheng shouted, and everyone raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses.

Zhang Qiling looked at the empty wine glass in Han Yan's hand, and thought of her previous behavior when she was drunk, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Yan Yan, drink less."

"Yeah, I know. Just drink a little bit, I promise."

Han Yan stretched out her finger, indicated the tiny distance, shook the wine glass in her hand, and smiled brightly.

"Hey, Yuncai, stop drinking. This wine has a strong aftereffect."

As the fat man spoke, he was about to snatch the wine glass from Yuncai's hand, but Yuncai dodged sideways and the fat man's outstretched hand missed.

There was a light blush on Yuncai's cheeks, and she looked playful and cute when she smiled.

"Xiao Bai, what's wrong with you? I told you not to pour wine anymore."

Wu Xie snatched the wine bottle that Bai Haotian had just grabbed, and under her slightly dissatisfied look, put the bottle where she couldn't reach it.

"Hua'erye, come here, I'll pour you some. It's a relief that everyone is here today. It's the New Year, so we should be happy. Come, let's get drunk."

Xie Yuchen watched Hei Xia Zi pouring him wine in silence, without any intention of stopping him. The smile on the corner of his mouth was both helpless and indulgent.

"Aning, let's ignore the two of them, let's drink. Jiang Zisuan, can you do it? You're a grown man, but you can't do it after just a few drinks?"

"Exactly. Look at Liu Sang and Pan Zi, they are having a great drinking contest."

Huo Xiuxiu and Aning held their wine glasses and mercilessly complained about Jiang Zisuan, who had a red face and was already a little dizzy.

When Jiang Zisuan heard them say this, he was filled with dissatisfaction. He looked up at Liu Sang and Pan Zi.

I saw them drinking one glass after another, and there were many empty wine bottles placed in a mess beside them.

"Xi Liu, come, have a drink, hehe..."

Zhang Mo burped and staggered around Xiliu's shoulders. Xiliu reached out to hold him, looking around with a smile in his eyes.

Outside the courtyard wall, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, as if announcing the departure of the old year and the arrival of the new year.

"Everyone, it's midnight, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! May we all be able to gather together every day and every year in the future."

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he stood up drunkenly and, with the support of Bai Haotian, staggered out of the house.

He walked to the door, turned around with the wine glass in his hand, looked back at the people who were not moving, and waved.

"Come on, now that we've had enough food and drink, let's go set off the fireworks."

"Let's go, Fat Brother."

"Huaerye, let's go."

"Aning, Xiuxiu, Liu Sang, Jiang Zisuan, Pan Zi, Xiliu, Zhang Mo, come quickly."

"Yan Yan, let's go too."

"it is good."

The New Year has arrived, and brilliant fireworks are blooming in the sky, making the sky colorful and picturesque.

Everyone stood in the courtyard together, the white snow fluttered down, they looked up at the sky with bright smiles on their faces.
