Chapter 20 Su Minzhi (continue to ask for collections and votes)

The last day of the twenty-first year of Zhenguan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before dawn, Shang Shang was awakened by the sound of crackling firecrackers, and took a deep sniff of the faint aroma of herbs on the bedding, and Shang Shang was a little reluctant to open his eyes. It would be nice if life could be so easy every day in the future!

Quietly listening to the gradually lively street outside the window, the sound of Minzhi's brother beckoning the guys to unload the door and open the shop came from the front yard, the merchant straightened his body and stretched his waist and shook his head and chuckled, his brother had already gotten up, and he was still lying on the bed.

While busy opening the shop, Su Min was noisy with the neighbors to celebrate the New Year, and the naughty children also ran into the store from time to time to ask for some freshly made fruits to eat, Song's mother laughed and scolded the little monkey cub, but her hand did not really wave to those innocent and cute children, but grabbed handfuls of fried almonds from the dustpan and handed them to the children as snacks.

After a period of chaos, according to the rules of previous years, the men in the kitchen were given New Year's money, and some auspicious words were said to each other, and then they were sent home with the snacks distributed in advance for the New Year. On the thirtieth day, no matter what industry it is, it is time to rest, and those who work outside have to settle their wages early and go home to prepare for the New Year's dinner.

The merchant sat next to Su Minzhi, watching his brother arrange the affairs of the store in an orderly manner, and sighed in his heart. My brother, who didn't understand economic matters, has now also experienced it! After a cursory look at the account book, she was a little dizzy when she saw a large list of complicated numbers, and she counted them carefully, and earned more than 10,000 taels!

After sending off the guys who had been thankful for a thousand thanks, Su Minzhi closed the door of the store with the help of Song Ma and Green Sleeves, and the family closed the door and loosened themselves in the backyard, busy for a year, and only a few days before the New Year could they breathe a sigh of relief.

The merchant went into the kitchen with green sleeves and studied the recipes of the evening with Song Ma, but Su Minzhi and Su Ruizhi set up a chessboard in the small hall in the backyard to talk, and the room was full of joy.

Before the chess pieces were placed, I heard a knock at the door.

Su Minzhi got up and removed a door panel, but saw Li Mo wearing a purple gold mink fur and standing at the bottom of the steps, seeing him come to open the door, he raised his eyebrows and beckoned, and a few sturdy men jumped down from a large cargo truck behind him.

"Brother Min, Li Mo is going to bother this year! These are small gifts, not tributes. ”

Li Mo arched his hand and stepped forward to help Su Minzhi continue to unload the door panel, and those men carried or hugged one after another, and unloaded the full car of things in three or two clicks.

Su Minzhi's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw a corner of bright yellow satin exposed in the cotton cloth bag carried by a big man, and he knew that it must be a gift from the emperor!

"Li Gongzi, how can you afford to call Su like this? Just spend a peaceful year with us, why do you need to be so polite? ”

Su Minzhi was a little unhappy at first when he saw a group of men rushing in, but he couldn't help but be startled when he caught a glimpse of the bright yellow satin. What is the identity of this Li Mo? How did you move the royal gifts out like this?

Glancing at the neighborhoods left and right, seeing that everyone was only busy with their own affairs, and no one deliberately paid attention to what was happening in front of his house, Su Minzhi was slightly relieved.

"Brother Su doesn't have to be polite. These are just some of the rewards in the palace, I only have one person, where can I use them up? I also took some to see if there were many of them. Otherwise, it's just a waste of good stuff to put it there! ”

Li Mo saw that the guards had unloaded all the things, so he waved his hand, and the carriage turned around and went back to the prince's garden.

The two of them entered the door politely all the way, but when they looked around, they saw that the bearded guest had already picked an inconspicuous vermilion wine urn from a pile of New Year's gifts, and gently slapped the mud seal of the urn mouth, and a rich and mellow aroma of wine immediately spread throughout the hall, causing people to salivate!

"Huh? What wine! It turned out to be the best Jiannan Burning Spring? "The bearded guest loves wine as much as his life, and when he sees good wine, he can't help it anymore, so he tears off the mud seal and pours it into his mouth when he lifts the wine urn.

"Grandpa is indeed a bold man! It's just that there is always something lacking in this wine and no food! Why don't you save it for New Year's dinner? ”

Since Su Minzhi learned about the bearded guest's generous treatment of his sister, he also regarded this unruly old man as his own parent, in addition to often honoring some food, he also often knocked on the side to let the old man drink less wine, and the back and forth made the bearded guest quite jealous of him, and often complained that Su Minzhi did not accompany him with good food and wine.

"Who said there is no wine and no food?" The bearded guest was dodging Su Minzhi's hand that wanted to snatch the flask, but he heard the crisp voice of the merchant coming from the backyard.

Mother Song followed behind Shang Shang, holding a big tray in her hand, and the four shiny porcelain plates on the plate were clasped with Ruyi Gai bowls, and she didn't know what was inside.

"You're here?" Seeing Li Mo, the businessmen were a little happy.

On the twenty-ninth day, he was gone when she woke up, but today it was early! I had the heart to complain about him, but when I thought that he was here to accompany her for the New Year, no matter how big the resentment was, it turned into joy!

"Hmm!" Li Mo looked at the businessman in a lake green cotton shirt with a smile on his face, looking extremely playful. Because of the presence of everyone, Li Mo didn't say much.

"Good granddaughter! Show grandpa, what delicious food did you make? ”

The bearded guest jumped three times to avoid Su Minzhi's entanglement, and approached the merchant, intending to steal a few delicious wines from the plate, which has good wine but no good food, which is really boring! It's like singing just right, but the accompaniment is gone, isn't it a disappointment?

Seeing his sister coming in, Su Ruizhi hurriedly raised his hand to clean up the chessboard and asked Song's mother to put the tray in her hand on the table.

"The girl was afraid that a few sons would not be able to wait for the New Year's dinner, so she made a few side dishes, and a few sons and the old man could talk while eating, or play chess, and the New Year's dinner would have to wait!"

Mother Song took down the bowl on the porcelain plate, and was not surprised to see the eyes of the three sons and the old man, and secretly proud: these fresh dishes were all improvised by the girl yesterday, so they should be cheap for her own family!

The merchant looked at the appearance of several people like hungry tigers, and knew that his attempt must have been successful! At the moment, there was no longer any delay, and he took Song's mother back to the back kitchen to continue tinkering. This is the first time I've been with my brothers for the New Year! She's going to have to do whatever it takes!

This period of chaos was not over until it was almost dark, during which the firecrackers outside the door had already sounded happily! The sound of firecrackers in the kitchen corridor dragged on until this time, which shows how attentive the businessmen are!

A table of good dishes is full of flavor and aroma, and the rich aroma almost wafts out of the street! With the Jiannan Burning Spring brought by Li Mo, he barely swallowed the tongues of a table of people, and even Li Mo was impressed by the merchants.

Originally, I thought that businessmen would just know how to eat, but I didn't expect that they were also good at cooking! Especially the drunken chicken, almost as soon as it came up, Li Mo even felt as if he had only eaten a piece, and when he wanted to clip it again, there was not even a chicken head left on the plate!

After a full meal and a full meal, the bearded guest and Song's mother finally got old, so they rested early, leaving only a room of young people here to keep the New Year, waiting for the third watch to go out and set off firecrackers.

"It's so boring!" As soon as he finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he sat in the hall and drank two sips of tea, and the merchant shouted.

There is no Spring Festival Gala in this era, how can you stay up after sitting for a long night? Think about how many times I dislike the Spring Festival Gala in the later life, but if it is gone, I am afraid that when the Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty, people will not know what to do!

"Why don't we play mahjong and play some lottery! It's better than sitting here! The merchant's eyes suddenly lit up, Yunshuifang once gave her a pair of ivory mahjong, but it is a real luxury, and she never thought she would play real ivory in later generations! Why not have a good time here?

Su Ruizhi and Su Minzhi looked at each other, they had also heard of mahjong, but they never thought that their sister was still a veteran.

"I'm not going to fight! I'll watch you fight from behind. Li Mo smiled faintly, the appearance of businessmen like this has the appearance of some eighteen or nineteen-year-old women, smiling happily.

"I'm still watching from behind my sister! I don't know how to do it, and you want to gamble, I don't have that much silver! Green Sleeves looked at the few people present a little timidly.

"Oops! We're just playing with our own family, where do we need a lot of silver? Green sleeves, you don't have to worry, I'll take your share. Just having fun! ”

The merchant pulled Greensleeve's arm and shook it gently, she knew that Greensleeve would not refuse her, which was why she had been using Greensleeves as her heart for so many years. Green Sleeves is a simple girl, and there is never the slightest bad heart in her heart!

"The green sleeves will be given by my brother!"

When the businessman was pulling the green sleeves and coquettish, Su Minzhi, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

"Huh?" The merchant opened his mouth wide and widened his eyes with a pair of almond eyes.

"Ahhhh I said that I will come out, and my brother has made a lot of money in the past few years! Can't you afford that? Su Minzhi's face was a little red for some reason, although it was not very obvious under the candlelight, but it was still seen clearly by the merchants.

"Oh~~!"

The merchant dragged out his voice funny, and his eyes swirled back and forth between Su Minzhi and Green Sleeves, this time not only Su Minzhi, but even the Green Sleeves, who were originally forced to calm themselves, had a red face, as if they had been smeared with a layer of rouge!

"Lan Xin! Don't play tricks on the two of them anymore! The green-sleeved girl is thin-skinned, don't be abrupt! Su Ruizhi, who was smiling beside him, finally opened his mouth, and the eldest brother finally blocked the joke of the businessman.

"Yes! Eldest brother! The merchant playfully stretched out his little tongue, but at the end he popped out a sentence: "Then it won't be long before I change my name to the second sister-in-law of the green sleeves?" ”

To the surprise of the merchants, Su Minzhi, who heard this, not only did not have a happy look, but his face darkened and he stopped talking. When Su Ruizhi saw Minzhi's appearance, he only shook his head slightly, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly froze a little.

"Brother Toshino! What happened to you? "The merchant is a little inexplicable, isn't it okay just now? Why did you change your face all of a sudden?

Li Mo looked at Su Minzhi's gloomy face, his heart moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then looked at the merchant with a puzzled face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: This stupid girl! Still don't understand anything!

Although it's a little late, you can still see the drop tomorrow! I can't help it, I have to go to work! Woo~~ The ponytail only holds his eyes with a toothpick~~~ Everyone has a vote to vote, but there is no vote to collect it!!!
