Chapter 336: New Year's Message

In the tense and fiery hustle and bustle of the base area, the New Year has quietly arrived.

This is the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the first New Year of Lu Shi coming to this world, whether in that world or in this world, Lu Shi has grown by one year with the advancement of the annual ring, according to the calculation method of the previous life, Lu Shi should be twenty-two years old now.

This year has gone through too many things, and my mental journey has also undergone too many changes, from a carefree student, inexplicably crossing into this troubled world, from a person who wants to run to the south, to the sea, to be a worry-free spectator, to see the world change, to see the appearance of one person after another, but was pushed to the forefront by fate little by little, becoming a figure with great influence in this era, which has to be said to be a creation and making people.

Imagine that world, you may be soaking at home now, and then waiting for your mother and father to cook a sumptuous New Year's dinner, and everyone will eat happily.

But think about that era, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, in fact, is more like a scene, should eat, usually can be eaten at any time, should play, can be played at any time, Chinese New Year's Eve party can no longer hang people's appetite, it is just a lively, it seems, at that time the year has faded a lot.

However, now it is different, in the world in which I live, the year, is a very important festival, the people of the whole Ming Dynasty have solemnly and solemnly, and they absolutely dare not neglect every tiny detail, dare not slack off, whether it is a rich person or a common person who is about to starve to death.

According to the people in the field, this year's New Year is absolutely happy and rich, of course, the so-called wealth is only compared to previous years. But this has satisfied all the people in the base area, and they are grateful to King Lu Shi, the great commander, the third uncle, and all the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army.

For this New Year, Lu Shi also attaches great importance to it, although according to the rules of the year, entering the small year, until the first month, no swords are allowed, even if the country strictly follows this rule, the big war must wait for the first month.

But LΓΌ Shi violated this rule, LΓΌ Shi announced that in order to let the people and soldiers in the base area eat meat, including himself who had a bird in his mouth, he ordered the bow battalion and all the hunters in the base area to enter the mountains and slaughter the beasts in the mountains.

When this order was issued, the first person to change his face was Chen Ce and Zhao Xing, and the two scholars immediately moved out of the Zhou Rite Analects, various allusions, the three-character scripture with the surname of a hundred families, and the Huang Li, resolutely preventing Lu Shi from using swords, no matter how Lu Shi explained, even Guo Tianxing, who had always been obedient, had opposing opinions.

In the lobby, he killed a Luhua chicken, wrote a bunch of ghost paintings on a white cloth provided by Chunlan, and then put a small whip, which was barely recognized by everyone, but everyone unanimously decided that the hunt could only be carried out until Xiao Nian, and in the future, Lu Shi would use the sword to see the blood, then everyone would rather break up.

In fact, this was enough, the five hundred brothers of the bow and arrow battalion, and hundreds of hunters roared into the mountains under the order of Lu Shi, and slaughtered the birds and beasts all over the mountain as if they were genocidal, and then the student soldiers and children's regiments began to transport the spoils out of the mountain in a steady stream, and the slaughter lasted until the dark of the 27th day of the lunar month, which really ensured that the people in the whole base area had meat to eat during the New Year.

At that time, Chen Ce and Zhao Xing were nibbling on wild meat, and solemnly taught Lu Shi that this was against the way of heaven, this is not okay, Lu Shi smiled and stuffed a large piece of wild venison into their mouths, and the two of them immediately became speechless.

Although according to the custom, Laba wants to kill pigs to make tofu, although the cottage is still reluctant to kill more pigs, but the third uncle also generously waved his hand, on the cottage, at once put over a hundred pigs, three hundred sheep, to each base of the people according to a household, are divided into half a catty of pork, so that everyone can see the oil and water, half a catty of mutton, and then with the game distributed by the cottage, let everyone boil a pot of Luo Bu soup, and have a good New Year.

Lu Shi is no longer single now, he also has parents and nephews, so the cave of the third uncle's house was crowded with Lu Shichunlan, three boys and a well-behaved little girl, and Guotianxing didn't even have a place to stand, so he had to kowtow to the third uncle and three aunts After greeting the New Year, he ran to the big canteen and ate and drank with those brothers who had no home from rice fat.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone began to go back and forth to pay New Year's greetings, so the whole cottage, the whole Huluyu, this base area, everywhere are noisy gongs and drums, everywhere are wandering torches, everywhere is loud New Year's greetings, laughter, this is a peaceful and peaceful year that has not been seen for many years.

The San'er family also rarely put down the work in their hands when they were in Chinese New Year's Eve, and the father sat on the spacious ground nest kangtou, squinting his eyes to see his wife and daughter-in-law busy in and out, watching his grandchildren compete for mountain fruits in the yard.

This is a good year, no landlords come to collect debts, no soldiers kick the door to persecut, no family around a broken pot, looking at the rice grains in the wild vegetables in the pot that are less than stars, no eating this Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and worrying about the meal of the first day of the new year.

Now, there is a stewed mutton of wild game sent down from the cottage in the pot, plus Luobu mountain vegetables, and there is a full basket of steamed buns at hand, and the wife also consumed the half catty of pork with oil, and fried a cabbage slice with oil residue, which is fragrant and fragrant, so that his stomach does not have a majestic grunt.

By the way, there is also the fact that the daughter-in-law used the food she earned by making military uniforms for the cottage, and quietly bought herself half a catty of wine in the shop called the supply and marketing cooperatives on the cottage, and she was happy for a while.

Count, how long has it been since there has been such a year of abundance? The father of the third son counts and counts, but he can't count the head, when is it? All forgot.

The children were attracted by the smell of meat in the pot several times, and they wanted to steal their mouths, but they were beaten away by their grandmother with an unceremonious smile, but they still secretly put a few pieces of the fattest meat into the crockpot, waiting for the time to secretly satisfy the children's hunger.

San'er squatted in front of the stove pit to light the fire, and the red flames illuminated his face, reflecting the brilliance of satisfaction.

With the old lady's words: "Old man, the meal is ready, you can sacrifice Zula." The first two children to respond rushed into the house.

After worshipping the ancestors, it represents the beginning of the New Year's dinner, and you can eat a hard meal, the thing called meat.

As soon as he was called by his wife, his father would no longer count, anyway, there would be no such a difficult year in the future, so let's worship my ancestors now.

Get off the kang, with a family, standing in front of the stove in a regular manner, first on a steamed bun, a bowl of stew, sacrifice to the king of the stove, and then, a piece of meat, a bowl of wine, three steamed buns put in front of a piece of ancestral tablet written by the old gentleman in the village, with a family of old and small rules kneeling down and kowtowing, after the father prayed, his heart couldn't help but feel sad, and whispered: "Ancestors and ancestors, juniors are not filial, and you can't go back to your hometown to worship in front of the grave during the New Year, please forgive me." When he said this, the whole family couldn't help crying.

Yes, the ancestral grave is in Fuxian, that is the place of the tiger and wolf, if you go back, maybe you will never come back, at this time, you can't go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, what a painful thing it is for the children and grandchildren of the Han family?

Shedding tears, the father raised his head and whispered but firmly to the ancestral tablet: "Ancestors and ancestors, don't worry, it's not far away, it won't be far when I go back to your grave to worship your ancestors, there is King Chuang, there is a great commander, there is a Black Tiger Army, this day will not be far away." ”

San'er couldn't speak, but there was a frenzied light in his eyes.

Next, Dad turned around with his family, faced the direction of the row of caves in the cottage, and knelt down again in a proper manner.

"Dad, King Chuang doesn't allow everyone to kneel." San'er reminded in a whisper.

"Nonsense, how can you not kneel for New Year's greetings? Hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to King Chuang. Daddy whispered, but seriously.

"No, this is what King Chuang said, we can only kneel to our parents, to our ancestors, and others, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't kneel." San'er firmly refuted his father.

"It's against you, King Chuang is our benefactor, King Chuang is older than King Lao Tzu, hurry up and kneel."

The third daughter-in-law hurriedly and quietly pulled the corner of her man's clothes, this is the New Year, the two of them can't talk about each other, this is unlucky.

The old lady also pulled up her apron and said to San'er: "Yes, King Chuang is our benefactor, if there is no King Chuang, I can't say, my mother has starved to death, and your two babies may not be left, kneel, kneel, don't yield to you." ”

"No, I miss King Chuang, I am willing to sacrifice my life for King Chuang and the base, but I just can't kneel."

Dad was really anxious this time, and he picked up the broom on the kang and was about to beat this unfilial guy, but San'er didn't hide, and said with a stalk around his neck: "This is the military regulation, this is the rule of the king." ”

As soon as these words came out, Dad's hand couldn't fall.

"Then, then we will secretly kneel and bow, and King Chuang will not know." The old lady came out to relieve the siege.

"The rules of the king cannot be obeyed only in front of outsiders, but also absolutely obeyed after being subjected."

San'er argued loudly.

The father quickly put down the broom in his hand and helped his son speak.

So, the family stood up in a proper manner and bowed deeply in the direction of the cottage cave.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began, the father sat cross-legged in the main seat, the family sat around, the daughter-in-law quietly sandwiched a piece of meat into the old lady's bowl, the old lady then sandwiched it into the bowl of San'er, and then sandwiched it into the bowl of the father's bowl, and the father sandwiched the meat into the bowl of the grandchildren who were already full, and the two children tilted their heads and asked their grandfather curiously: "Grandpa, is this pork?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's fragrant."

"Grandpa, is this lamb?"

"Yes, yes, it's fragrant."

The granddaughter took a bite carefully and nodded happily, "Xiang, Xiang." ”

The whole family laughed, and the whole family quietly wiped away tears.

"Grandpa, can you still eat this kind of meat in the future?"

"Yes, I will eat it often in the future." Father and son replied firmly.

Following King Chuang, you will definitely be able to eat meat, father and son have this confidence.
