After everyone sat down again, Yang Xue complained: "This fruit wine is sweet and sour, the taste is not difficult to accept, but it is too astringent, if you are not pregnant with a child, I really don't want to drink it." ”

"Miss! I said earlier that I would buy some wine from the Western Regions and come back, and you said that there is a reason for making wine at your own home and running to buy other people's wine to drink. Xu Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Wine is so expensive, our lord makes money so hard, and he is so busy every day that I feel distressed when I see it."

Everyone was silent for a while, and they all felt that what Yang Xue said was not wrong.

In fact, it is true that Li Zhonghua goes out early and returns late every day, and after returning home every day, he is often busy late at night, although the Datang Evening News has invited the editor-in-chief, but in the end it is still reviewed by Li Zhonghua.

Fortunately, in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yang Xue helped to copy it, otherwise it would be more tiring.

Although you can directly hand over this book to the newspaper, the characters on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are too small, they are simplified, and they are beautifully printed, so it is too shocking to take it out, and it is easy to bring trouble to yourself.

"In order for you to live a better life, no matter how busy it is, it is worth it, the money you earn is used to spend, although the wine in the Western Regions is expensive, our family is not unaffordable.

Fruit wine has a sour taste, which is very normal, even the wine of the Western Regions also has the same sour taste, but people have been cellaring for a long time, and most of the sour and astringent taste has been dissolved.

However, the sour and astringent taste in the fruit wine can also be removed, which is difficult for your master.

Originally, this matter should have been solved a long time ago, but I was so busy that I forgot about it.

We still have 10,000 vasks of fruit wine in the winery in the suburbs, don't look at them as worthless now, when I remove their sour taste, they will immediately be able to appreciate significantly, and the taste will not be too bad compared to the wines of the Western Regions. Li Zhonghua said confidently with a smile.

"Really? Master, Yuan Hua likes to drink Western Regions wine the most. ”

"Who doesn't like to drink wine from the Western Regions, otherwise would it be so expensive?"

"If you want to drink it, it's very simple, we can get a piece of land by ourselves, grow our own grapes, and make our own wine, which is guaranteed to taste better than the wine in the Western Regions." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.

The family eats and drinks, talks and laughs, so lively, as the saying goes, three women in one play, a group of women, then it can be imagined.

After the meal, everyone went to the front yard and began to set off firecrackers, and at this time, gunpowder began to appear, but it was in the hands of the cultivators.

Li Zhonghua and Sun Simiao have a master-apprentice relationship, Li Zhonghua asked Sun Simiao for some gunpowder, wrapped tightly in red paper, sealed with red mud on both sides, inserted a fuse, connected together one by one with wires, and made some firecrackers, which were used to make a lively New Year.

The manufacture and principle of firecrackers is actually a very simple thing, and as a modern person who has read a book, there is no difficulty at all.

After the ignition, the crackling sound of the firecrackers was incessant, the smoke was misty, and there was fire, and the sound was deafening, far from the explosion of burning bamboo.

"Wow! It's a loud sound! My ears are deafening! ”

"Of course, the things made by the master are very harmful, but they smell like this, and they don't smell good."

"It's the smell of gunsmoke and sulfur, but the New Year's picture is lively, and the smell of sulfur quickly dissipates."

It's a pity that Li Zhonghua can only make some simple firecrackers, and although fireworks are not complicated, he can't do them.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhonghua took Yang Xue and Xu Xiaolan to Yang's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he and Wu Zetian went to her house to pay New Year's greetings.

Originally, Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, with three daughters, lived in Anrenfang's Horse Mansion, and since Wu Zetian passed the door, Li Zhonghua bought another house to house the three Yang's mother and daughter.

Although the horse house is good, it is also under the fence, it is better to live in your own home, although this home is also bought by the aunt with money, but the uncle is always closer than the cousin, an aunt can top half a son, especially a woman like Yang who has no son, and the aunt is her future dependence.

The next thing is to go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people who went to the Lu Guogong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, after all, there were many officials in the DPRK and China, especially officers, but there were many generals who were promoted by Cheng Yanjin.

Despite this, Li Zhonghua is Cheng Biting Jin's righteous son, and with a group of women, he was directly welcomed into the backyard and went to his wife Cui Shi to pay New Year's greetings.

With more than a dozen beautiful women, it is difficult not to be noticed, many generals in the army and officials in the DPRK have business cooperation with Li Zhonghua, and they are naturally not unlucky to Li Zhonghua.

Seeing that Li Zhonghua took the woman directly into the backyard, he knew that he was Lu Guogong's righteous son, and he could only envy him.

In the backyard to Mrs. Cui's New Year's greetings, Cui's looked at more than a dozen women, nodded frequently and said: "China is really a blessing, so many beautiful women around me, all of them have a prosperous and prosperous appearance, no wonder your business is doing smoothly, and you have made a lot of money." ”

"Godmother! It's the master who has the ability, the person is smart, and it has nothing to do with us. Yang Xue replied with a smile.

"How can you say that it doesn't matter, before you didn't have you, how could he not have such a great ability, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to get through that time at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

So don't be humble to yourself, you are the lucky star of his life, because of you, she is blessed with a bright star, and everything is smooth sailing. Mrs. Cui said loudly.

"Godmother's words are reasonable, you are my lucky star, even if I am penniless now, as long as I have you by my side, I don't have to worry about not making money!" Li Zhonghua greeted and said to his wife Cui.

"China! With so many good women following you, you must treat them well and not treat them badly.

Also, you have been together for half a year, why is it only Yang Xue who is pregnant, you can't just care about making money! Money is endless, and the most important thing for a family is to have talents!

You have to work hard, let them all conceive children as soon as possible, give you more big fat boys, and help your old Li family spread out. ”

When all the women heard Mrs. Cui's words, they all lowered their heads shyly, and glanced at Li Zhonghua with resentful eyes.

Although Lin Xue was pregnant, she was also very embarrassed, thinking that Xianggong spent most of the time by herself for the night, both grateful to Xianggong and guilty about her sisters.

After all, everyone hasn't conceived a child yet, they can't be blamed, Yang Xue reviewed herself in her heart, she can't do this in the future, she resolutely doesn't let her husband enter her room, and she should let the sisters get wet with rain and dew.

"My son must work hard to get them pregnant this year, but when the Chinese New Year comes next year, my godmother will prepare a lot of big red envelopes to give your godgrandchildren New Year's money." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.

"Huh! Although the stepmother does not have much money, the New Year's money for her grandson will not be less, not to mention that you have married so many daughters-in-law, even if you marry more women, the red envelopes of the stepmother will be enough. ”

This is also the case, how can the daughter of the old head of the Cui family in Qinghe, the wife of Lu Guogong, be short of money?

After chatting with his wife Cui, Li Zhonghua went to the front yard alone to greet the officials and generals who came to the Lu Guogong Mansion.

There are too many people Li Zhonghua knows and have business partnerships, and it is impossible to go to the house one by one to pay New Year's greetings, but there is no shortage of gifts for them.

When he went back, Li Zhonghua had already been drunk, and since he had distilled spirits, no one dared to brag that he was not drunk for a thousand cups.

When I returned to the house, I learned that the brothers Qin Shoudao and Qin Huaidao had come to pay New Year's greetings to their cousin and uncle today.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there are many people who come to Li Mansion to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts, Li Zhonghua is the boss of many people, everyone has to rely on him for dinner, of course, it is inevitable to come to him to pay New Year's greetings, which is also a way to show respect for him.

Although before the Chinese New Year, he had given everyone a generous year-end bonus, and when everyone came to greet him, Li Zhonghua could not be too stingy, everyone gave a red envelope, although the red envelope was very thin, but the red envelope contained paper money, full of ten money, not much, but definitely a lot, far more than the gifts they gave.
