Chapter 221: Chinese New Year (I)
A month before Chinese New Year's Eve, some scholars in the academy took leave to return home. However, due to the proximity of Renhe Hall to the academy, the fake note handed over by Zidui was not approved until three days ago.
Dean Sima really wanted to tie this child to study in the academy, in his opinion, the first prodigy apprentice under his command who was even in the middle school was none other than Zidui, and naturally hoped that he would use all his spiritual energy in his studies.
But Zi Du himself didn't think so, his original intention of coming to the academy was just to promise Yang Zixi's words, what is the test of Xie Yuan, the test of Hui Yuan, and the top score? What is that? Can you eat it?
Of course, the goal of being the first in all kinds of small exams must still be achieved, otherwise going back will be the life of the sister of the school bully!
At the end of the year, the busiest person in Renhetang is no longer the little doctor Yang Zixi, but the chef Yu Sister-in-law who is in charge of the meal. Now there is the fourteenth person in Renhetang, Song Xiujuan, who is a helper, has returned to her own house in Baishi Village for the New Year, and the lonely and widowed Mrs. Meng has stayed in Renhetang under Yang Zixi's stay. In addition, there are 20 tenant farmers, four hospitalized patients, and nearly 40 people up and down, which can catch up with a large family of ordinary wealthy families, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has to be prepared for a long time.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to eat all night, and on the first day of the new year, you don't want to use knives, so you have to eat for two days. And Yang Yi, Huang Sister-in-law and others were naturally requisitioned and sent to the kitchen.
Yang Yi and Yang Er dragged bags of pork through the gate, leaving a clear blood mark on the floor. This is the last pig slaughtered by the Song butcher in Baishi Village before the end of the year, and it is also the fattest one.
"Whoever spoils the floor should have nothing to eat tonight!" Mrs. Meng looked at the marks left on the floor that had just been mopped, and said cursed at the backs of Yang Yi and the others.
Yang Yi and Yang Er glanced at each other. They ran away without noticing the importance of the old lady's words.
"Put it there! Put it there! Later, I'll let Yang Yi and them drag it again for you! Yang Zixuan walked over. smiled and said, "Old man." Today's New Year, you can rest, we are all here! ”
"You're not clean!" The old lady stubbornly clung to the mop and didn't let go.
Han Ye is taking Wang Xiaoshi and Li Xiaofeng to light the lamps in each courtyard, and the lantern with red oil paper paste is very large, and it is stuffed with alcohol lamps in medicine bottles instead of white ash, you must know that the white ash in Huaizhou City has been fried to a tael of silver in this effort a year ago, and Sister-in-law Li, who is in charge of finance, does not allow them to spend that unjust money.
Yang Zixi didn't grab the job of mopping the floor, so he staggered to Han Ye and the others, and craned his neck to watch them hang the lamp. He was still muttering: "Han Ye, you will hand over this one to Xiaoshi and Xiaofeng after you hang it." Hurry up and accompany me to the academy, it's time to pick up Zidui and come back, Yang Yi doesn't have time to drive for me at this time! ”
"Done!" Han Ye, who was standing on a high stool, replied, he neatly hooked the hook of the lantern, put away the hanging rod and jumped down from the stool, pointed to the remaining twenty or so lanterns stacked on the ground, and said to Li Xiaofeng: "At least one under each roof." Be careful when holding it so that the alcohol doesn't spill out. You know how flammable that thing is, don't burn the lantern when you light it! ”
"That's it! All right! Do you still need to explain? Li Xiaofeng waved his hand impatiently, and he jumped on the stool with his fists in a hurry. He commanded Wang Xiaoshi: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hand me a lantern? ”
Wang Xiaoshi is angry, this errand of holding the lamp is usually the work of the man in charge of the family, shouldn't it be his turn when the senior brother leaves? He's the second one! Why is it cheaper?
"Because you're short!" I kind of saw what he thought. Han Ye smiled and said, "You have to set up two stools when you go up." Hyo-bong only uses one, so for safety reasons......"
