722nd New Year
A lump of cow dung was placed in the middle of the road, and the big lump was very eye-catching, and there was a faint white gas, which should have been freshly baked. Dung is a farmer's treasure, and the old Cui, who is responsible for cleaning the village, hurriedly ran home to get the dung basket when he saw it, even though his movements were fast, but when he came back, he was still occupied.
Zhang Wuliu led the way around a group of children in the Zhuangzi, and Xiao Biao stretched out his thumb to Zhang Wuliu, "Uncle Wuliu is still very good, you can also find such a big lump of cow dung, if my father sees it, he will have to walk around." ”
"Master Hou is a clean person, I have nothing to be afraid of, this cow dung is fresh and soft and exploded, it must be interesting!" Zhang Wuliu said that he inserted a finger-thick firecracker into the cow dung, and in order to enhance the effect, it was still very deep, leaving a dusty medicine twist outside.
"Five, six, five, six, you can't take the dolls to learn better, you have to compare with this lump of cow dung, give me cow dung to fertilizer, and you can harvest more crops in the field next year!"
"Daddy Cui, your big family business is still short of this lump of cow dung, I just take the children to play, what are you doing with me during the Chinese New Year, you see that the children are staring at the cow dung and watching the cow dung bloom, or you will clean it up after I blow it up."
"Bastard, I don't want it, there is a lot of duck manure at home, I'll come and sweep it tomorrow!" Lao Cui carried the dung basket and walked away angrily.
"This old man is really slamming the door!" Zhang Wuliu turned his head to the children behind him and said, "Does anyone dare to come over and light a cannon, little boy!" ”
Xiao Biao hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, "Don't dare, if you splash cow dung on your body, I'm afraid that I will be pressed by my mother to bathe in the bathtub, and I can't wait to rub a layer of skin down." ”
"What about the Three Jewels? Mid-Autumn Festival? If you don't come, it's just me, the kind of ...... who watched the explode What do you mean...... The sense of accomplishment is the sense of accomplishment, which you can't experience. Zhang Wuliu took out a match and pinched one in his hand, "Get out of the way, stay away!" ”
The children hurriedly retreated to ten steps away, Zhang Wuliu snorted a match, slowly approached the medicine twist, lit it and walked back unhurriedly.
"Uncle fifty or sixty is so calm, he really doesn't lose the demeanor of a general!" Xiao Biao covered his ears and stared at the cow dung, and did not forget to compliment Zhang Wuliu in his mouth.
"Childe has won the award, I haven't seen any scene in the battle formation with Hou Ye, that grenade is flying around, a cannon battle is nothing!"
Zhang Zhongqiu asked, "Daddy, why doesn't the cow dung be fried?" ”
Zhang Wuliu turned his head and glanced at it, "It's really not explosive, it's not a squib, you go over and take a look at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and change another one." ”
"Don't go! I'm afraid! Zhang Zhongqiu shook his head again and again.
"No, don't say it's my son anymore!"
In fact, Zhang Wuliu didn't say it, and Zhang Zhongqiu wouldn't take the initiative to say that it was his son outside, without him, it was just a shame.
Zhang Wuliu lectured his son, then walked back, hunched over and looked at the medicine twist that had been burned to ashes on the cow dung, and muttered: "It's really dumb......"
Boom! Only halfway through the words, the fresh and hot cow dung burst open, and the cow dung flying was really wonderful, don't forget the mouth shape of the last word Zhang Wuliu said.
Hu Niu crossed her waist and said to her deflated head: "I told you that this woman is unacceptable, not to mention that she can't be a female worker, and she can't enter the back house with this appearance, what should I do if I scare Miss Childe!" ”
She smiled and said: "She was beaten and injured, and when the injury is healed, she may not look ugly, she can't be a female worker, so let her do some rough work and laundry!" ”
"You think that anyone can do laundry, you think that the gold and silver satin in the house are the rags on your body, if you are really kind, it is better to marry home and become a mother-in-law."
He looked at the shy "woman" next to him who bowed his head and said in a low voice: "People should be careful when talking in front of me, I am the long-term follower of the Hou Ye, so you can't give me some face to accept her." ”
"I, you still have the face to say that it is the long-term follower of the Hou Ye, and the lady asked you to wait in the city every day, why didn't you receive anyone, did you go to the Qinhuai River again, and brought back such a person. This is the good number one Oiran you brag about all day long!
This can make you stunned, and your vision is not very good. It's not for nothing that you want to find an errand, I heard that the pig farm of the academy is not manpowered, so you should send it! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to arrange for someone to stick the Spring Festival couplets. ”
Hu Niu rolled up the red paper in her hand and turned around to leave, but grabbed her with a deflated head, "Tiger Woman, you are too much, don't think that I dare not clean you up." ”
The tiger girl is not weak, dangling two huge ** to the chest of the deflated head, "You are coming!" It doesn't matter if you kill me, if you mess the Spring Festival couplets and ruin the good omen of the coming year, see who the old lady cleans up! ”
As soon as the tiger girl's shoulders shook, her fat figure opened her head and swaggered.
The cowhide blew loudly before, but now it is rejected like this, and the deflated face is very unbearable, and he said: "I'm really sorry, but you can rest assured and live with me, if you are hungry to eat, you will not be hungry!" ”
Shinemon's voice change technique is very good, it's really similar to a woman, at least it's much better than Tiger Girl's loud voice, "Brother Zhao, don't be depressed, the slave family thinks there's nothing wrong with raising pigs, but there were a lot of pigs in the family in the past, so let me go to the academy to raise pigs." ”
"Are you really willing to raise pigs? She is really a good woman who is hardworking, virtuous and understanding. "I felt like I was getting a little more excited.
The paper couplets were not there before or did not prevail, until the Song Dynasty was still in the peach wood charm inscription hung on the side of the door to seek blessings and ward off evil spirits, Wang Anshi's poem did not say, "Thousands of households on the day, always replace the new peach with the old charm." ”
To say that the promotion of paper Spring Festival couplets should be Lao Zhu, since seeing the Ma family sticker this thing, not only let the palace post but also issued an order to let the Manchu Dynasty officials and big households to stick, looking at the red auspicious celebration, a few years in the day has been prevalent, even if it is a poor family every year to get a pair of stickers on the door.
This gave birth to a new profession, and there were not many scholars in these years, and they were all officials who couldn't pull down their faces and set up stalls on the streets, so they cheapened the students of the academy.
Since a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, he began to set up stalls to write Spring Festival couplets for people, and the price is fair, and it is only a penny to bring two pairs of red paper, but it is not enough to stand up to the fact that people can always earn a full amount of money in one day, and even the Guozi prison students are so hungry that they ignore the prison rules to make money.
If anyone has good calligraphy, they can take advantage of this time to make a small fortune, such as Chen Ying relying on a good hand of words in and out of the home of a wealthy businessman, holding a wolf pen, dipped in rosin ink, even the paper is bronzing red paper, the door and the small window are written down, the family has to pay more than ten or twenty taels of pen fees, and if you earn money, you can't see him, and you don't need to ask to know that you went to the Qinhuai River.
The rarest Spring Festival couplets are Song Ke's, who calls him a great calligrapher, but there are not many people looking for him to write Spring Festival couplets. In addition to being too difficult to invite, the Spring Festival couplets he wrote were removed within two days of being pasted, and not a single scrap of paper was left. Song Ke even writes a Spring Festival couplet with a private seal, it's strange not to be stolen, his words are worth a lot of money in the market.
But no one can compete with Yuan Jiuli in Fangshan, because he doesn't need you to carry snacks to the door, so he sets up a stall and sits on the edge of the official road and waits, without your pen and ink, without your red paper, let alone your money.
As long as you say a few pairs, he will write a good waiting for you to pick up, if anyone doesn't let him write the Spring Festival couplets, don't want to see his good face all year long.
As for why he did this kind of business that contributed and lost money, the reason was very simple, just like Zhang Wuliu used firecrackers to fry cow dung.
Since Fang Shan became a treasure of Wenhua, his sense of existence as a scholar has become weaker and weaker, and he was sent to the girls' school to be the principal, and when Ma Du informed him, he didn't even protest with a slogan, because he knew that there were more and more students in the academy who could give him a gentleman.
"Master Hou! Master Hou! Seeing Ma Du's footsteps hurriedly passing by the stall, Yuan Jiuli hurriedly got up and stopped, "Have you written the Spring Festival couplets at home?" ”
"Mr. Yuan, my family's Spring Festival couplets have been written, and it has always been the little turtle in charge......" Seeing that Yuan Jiuli's face began to change, Ma Du smiled bitterly in his heart and hurriedly changed his words, "But his calligraphy is far inferior to yours, especially the face of the Hou Mansion on this gate, and I have to bother Mr. Yuan, the little turtle is your son-in-law, you have to train a lot, and my little nephew is also a little bothered by you." ”
Yuan Jiuli said with a smile: "It's all your own family's trouble, and the old man has a few sets of bronzing red paper here just for your door, and I will send it to the Hou Mansion after I write it." ”
"Then I'm tired of Mr. Yuan, I still have some things to say goodbye!"
Seeing Ma Du's footsteps hurriedly going to the academy, Yuan Jiuli muttered: "Master Hou, what's the urgency, I have to go and see!" ”
