Chapter 66: Chinese New Year's Eve

Every piece of land in Henan is soaked in history. And the same is true of the bustling city.

Fancheng in the Han Dynasty for Fanyang Pavilion, because Cao Pi built a Zen platform here, so it was renamed Fanchang, hoping that the Great Wei Foundation Yongchang, but the Great Wei rivers and mountains were blown away by the rain and wind, the place name of Fanchang, I don't know when it was changed to Fancheng. Now it is a place where Hui and Han people live together.

However, in any case, it is just a small town now, and if Cao Zongyu brings more than 2,000 people over, he will not be able to conquer the small town, so it is not worthy of Zhang Xuan's attention and wooing.

Sure enough, after only a day's work, good news came. Cao Zongyu broke the city. There were thousands of cows, horses, and donkeys. Cao Zongyu sent Wu Zilan back to transport the spoils of war, and not only cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys were sent over, but also some stubborn strong men, most of whom were Huiren. There is also some food stockpile.

The harvest was so great that Zhang Xuan was a little moved for a while, and robbed all the villages in Linying, but Zhang Xuan immediately extinguished his thoughts.

At least do less of this kind of thing. Getting something for nothing is not the right way, and it's addictive.

Cao Zongyu led his troops to inspect various places, and showed off his might under every earthen enclosure. Ordered them to go up to the tribute, horses and mules. Under Cao Zongyu's deterrence, sure enough, all the local enclosures surrendered, of course, whether they surrendered sincerely or superficially, but it was just to break the fortune and avoid disasters. There was another calculation in his heart, but Zhang Xuan didn't know.

And Zhang Xuan didn't care.

Zhang Zhen also made a contribution, with the Linying Zhang family as a guarantee, and exchanged with the soil enclosures, and exchanged ploughing cattle for horses, and finally raised hundreds of horses and mules for Zhang Xuan, although it was still too little for the march, but it was enough to pull the cart.

As soon as this matter was over, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt relaxed.

In addition, the end of the year is approaching. With a stroke of his pen, Zhang Xuan stopped the work in the entire city, whether it was repairing the city wall, digging wells, building vehicles, or casting cannons. Whether it's sewing cotton clothes for the army, or buying shoes. As soon as people are idle, there is a joyful atmosphere in the city.

However, there was no sound of firecrackers in the city.

As the first-class strategic material that Zhang Xuan fancies, there is absolutely no reason for gunpowder to be wasted, and even one or two cannot be acted upon without Zhang Xuan's permission.

People of this era seem to be easily satisfied. Although in the cold winter, almost every day one or two frail people could not bear the cold wind and died, but compared to before, the city is full of roads, and the outside of the city is full of white bones, I don't know how many times better.

Even if there is no wine, there is no sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The only benefit Zhang Xuan gave them was that they were given steamed buns for Chinese New Year's Eve. It's not white flour steamed buns, but steamed buns with mixed grains and good noodles, so they are already very satisfied.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhang Xuan had just patrolled the camp, from the four city gates, and above the city walls, and then in the barracks, and even to the Zhang family, where the generals at all levels were visited, imitating the national leaders broadcast by the news network.

When it was time to return, it was already late at night. I don't know when it will snow. It was not big before, but now the ground is thinly spread on the ground, and the eyes are all white.

He saw from a distance that there was a bonfire at the entrance of the county office, and there was a person waiting for her by the bonfire.

It was Luo Yujiao.

Luo Yujiao was wearing a red cloak, wrapped in it, and there was white fluff under the brim of the cloak to set off her face, and then reflecting the red light of the bonfire, which was extremely charming and moving. Petite and cute. In the slight snow, under the jumping firelight, it is a picture that Zhang Xuan will never forget for the rest of his life.

Where is Alang? Wind and snow night return.

Zhang Xuan's heart moved, he stepped forward a few steps, and went deep into the cloak to hold Luo Yujiao's hands, only to feel that his hands were cold, and immediately said: "It's snowing, what are you doing standing outside?" ”

"You're patrolling outside, where can I rest assured." Luo Yujiao said: "I have already wrapped beef dumplings. I've been waiting for you to come over. ”

Zhang Xuan dusted off the snowflakes on the white horse on the brim of her hat for her, and said, "Where do you get beef?" ”

There was a little beef in the city, that was when Cao Zongyu fought the city, killed a cow, and was brought over by Cao Zongyu, when Luo Yujiao proposed to leave some meat for Chinese New Year's Eve, but Zhang Xuan felt that he had to share the joys and sorrows with the whole army, and stewed the whole cow with dried wild vegetables and dried fish, so that the whole army, including the old and weak, ate it together, a cow was hundreds of kilograms, and in everyone's bowl, there was a little taste of beef.

"You'll know when the time comes." Luo Yujiao smiled slightly, sold a pass, and while talking, she pushed Zhang Xuan and said, "Oh, don't worry, I won't violate your ban." ”

Zhang Xuan and Luo Yujiao joined forces to enter the county government, and Qin Meng also had long eyes, and he didn't know when he had quietly left.

Luo Yujiao lifted the lid of the pot on the table, and although the dumplings were laid out one by one and did not stick together, they were already cold. Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and pinched one and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt a smell of beef.

"What do you eat? It's all cold. Luo Yujiao said: "It's cold, let me warm it up." Then she picked up two plates of dumplings and went to the kitchenette.

The courtyard where Zhang Xuan lives should be the residence of the county order, although it doesn't look very new, but it has a unique taste, such as the bedroom and even this small kitchen, what you want to eat, you can cook on the fire in the middle of the night, and everyone can enjoy the treatment, but at that time, it was not something that rich people could not enjoy.

Because the fire at that time was wood-burning.

It is impossible to keep the fire all the time. Some large places use briquettes, not the current briquettes, but the spherical coals, but they are not the treatment that can be enjoyed in this small place.

Zhang Xuan followed behind Luo Yujiao and said, "It's beef, your beef?" ”

Luo Yujiao smiled lightly and said, "I won't tell you." ”

She lit a fire and boiled water to heat the dumplings.

Zhang Xuan followed and suddenly pounced on Luo Yujiao, smelled the fragrance on Luo Yujiao's body, and whispered: "Little sister, tell me, little sister, tell me." ”

I don't know when, Zhang Xuan must pretend to be calm in front of outsiders, so if he is not calm or calm, he must also show this. Otherwise, you won't get the trust of others, and although you don't dare to say or smile, in fact, you often keep a straight face and make a serious statement.

In fact, Zhang Xuan is not such a serious person, how many modern young people are stereotypical and serious?

Only in front of Luo Yujiao, he can let go of all his burdens. Laughing and scolding, never wearing a mask. Among them, the pleasure of the boudoir has a thrush.

"Go, what's it like?" Luo Yujiao blushed and pushed Zhang Xuan away, although she and Zhang Xuan had already shared the same bed, but they always couldn't resist Zhang Xuan's scoundrel appearance, ordinary people playing hooligans are hooligans, and a beautiful man like Zhang Xuan playing hooligans is called coquettishness.

Luo Yujiao's shy appearance is really better than Huajiao. Zhang Xuan wanted to be light and thin more and more, Zhang Xuan hugged Luo Yujiao in his arms, bit his ear and said, "Good sister, tell me." ”

In fact, Luo Yujiao's kung fu is much more powerful than Zhang Xuan, and it is easy to fight for Zhang Xuan, but Luo Yujiao probably can't fight for Zhang Xuan in her life, she said with shame: "It's cowhide, I stew the fresh cowhide, and then chop it into meat puree, and then catch two or three live fish from Yingshui, pick out the fish, beat them together, and put some dried vegetables, this is the taste, I have tried it several times, and it has a taste with beef." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Luo Yujiao's amber-like eyes, and his heart was moved.

Zhang Xuan sounded easy, but he didn't know how much effort it would take to actually make it. Who in this world would want to do this without regrets? In addition to her parents, she is the only one left. Zhang Xuan's mouth slowly approached, and he wanted to kiss Luo Yujiao.

Luo Yujiao never accepted all the intimacy outside the bed, pushed Zhang Xuan away, looked inside the pot, and said, "Oops, all the dumplings are rotten." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Xuan hugged Luo Yujiao from behind and said, "The meat is rotten in the pot, the dumplings are rotten, let's drink soup." ”

"Go, it's all you, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not safe to eat." Luo Yujiao pushed Zhang Xuan away and said.
