Chapter 17: Reminiscing about my childhood

A group of people lay around the bonfire in a circle and looked at the starry sky, Shang Wu looked at the starry sky and felt a lot in his heart, thinking that when he was a child, he also played with these friends in the field, touched the snails in the field, picked wild vegetables in the forest, and listened to his parents tell stories at night. Shang Wu had a lot of memories of his childhood, and those good and bad memories of happiness, happiness, frustration, and unhappiness all ran out.

I feel that time flies quickly, and I remember that I am still a fun child and now I am the head of the family, and I have my wife, and I will have my own children in the near future, and I will also be a father. There are still many difficulties that future merchants need to face, and during the migration, during that time, while thinking about the plans of the future merchants, the bumps on the road and the discomfort of sleeping in the carriage tormented themselves.

Shang Wu thought about thinking that there were still many things that needed to be prepared in the future, and the construction of Dayi Shang was similar, and the rest of the vacancies should be arranged by the doorposts.

The next major event in the family is the family sacrifice, and after the family sacrifice, you have to plan carefully. It's easy to plan for a rainy day, and be prepared for things.

"Xiaoyu, you are good at cooking food, do you have any delicious food that is easy to carry and eat when you go out?" Shang Wu looked at the starry sky in the dark night and said.

"There are a lot of them, there are staple foods such as pickled jerky and naan cakes to fill your stomach, as well as pickles, pickled radish, pickled salted fish and other side dishes, but these are not as delicious as making freshly cut ingredients first." Xiao Yu said that there was a sound of sucking saliva, and there was no need to think that several people in the crowd were drooling when they heard these delicacies.

"These can be eaten for three or four months, make me a few cars, I can use them, but don't be in a hurry to ask for them soon, you can arrange the time to do it, and hand it over to the goalpost when it is done." Shang Wu explained.

"Okay, these days, the gateposts always transfer me to build a house, but it also takes some time for me to prepare the materials, and when I am ready, those people are almost back, it should not be delayed, and the fast food can be made in three or five days, and two or three cars can come out, and some of the food that needs to be pickled and dried will take a lot of time to make a lot of short ten days or two or three months, and the taste will be much worse if the time is not enough." Xiaoyu told Shang Wu about the situation of the errand, for fear that Shang Wu would not know the situation inside and blame himself for not doing the errand.

"It's good for you to make up your own mind, don't be in a hurry to eat this batch of food, you prepare a relatively long meal first, if you want to eat quickly, I will urge you." Shang Wu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, when the time comes, I will listen to the instructions of the head of the house, and I will start arranging it early tomorrow morning." Xiaoyu agreed.

"After the door post house is built, the furniture in the room, such as beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, benches, etc., still needs to be arranged by special experts, and I will arrange these people in the future, and these things should be made to be easy to use and beautiful." Shang Wu thought of building a new house, adding furniture is also needed, if you can train a group of good craftsmen, the goods of trade will be more abundant.

"You don't have to rush good things, just do them well." Shang Wu thought of something and added.

"It's the head of the family, I'll pick a good hand to do this early tomorrow morning." The doorpost agreed.

"Doorpost, see what other good things are at home for easy preservation and carrying, pay attention to it, and prepare more if you can." Shang Wu explained.

"I have some dried shiitake mushrooms and other dry goods that are easy to store and carry, so should the head of the family also prepare these?" Xiao Yu said.

"Whether it's used or eaten, as long as it can be used." Shang Wu thought for a while and said.

"Master, what do you want these things for, it's not autumn yet, so don't be in a hurry to store things for the winter." Stone said puzzled.

"Whether it's winter or not, it's always okay to be prepared, just prepare as I said." Shang Wu was a little tired and didn't want to explain too much.

"Let's go back early, the wind is a little cold at night." Shang Wu was a little sleepy, so he asked everyone to go back to the camp to rest.

————————————————

When Shang Wu returned to the wooden house, Lu Lu and Tian Luo had already fallen asleep, and Shang Wu's careful heart was slightly relaxed, after all, he only came out of the crow in the afternoon, and his heart was like a thief for fear of being discovered by Lu Lu.

Shang Wu felt a little thirsty, so he poured a glass of water and drank it, and his heart calmed down a lot with cold water, so he walked to the side of the bed and covered the quilt to sleep.

Just when Shang Wu thought that he could fall asleep like this today, someone spoke:

"I saw you go to the raven."

Shang Wu's heart exploded as soon as he heard this voice, and he turned his head to see Tian Luo with big eyes looking at him.

"I didn't tell Sister Lulu that the stinky woman of the crow has been looking for the strongest man in her heart to give her a baby." Tian Luo said softly.

Shang Wu's heart is a little confused, I heard that Tian Luo is still relatively clear about the matter of crows, how much does she know, should I leave her. In Shang Wu's mind, various countermeasures were rapidly turning.

"The crow is actually a poor woman, if there is anything between you, I will help you keep the secret, the crow she doesn't expect the others to have a child with her for the rest of her life, she is actually a woman with a very simple heart, I hope you can be sincere to the crow and Sister Lulu." Tian Luo looked at Shang Wu's eyes seriously and said.

Shang Wu's mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what to say, so he nodded subconsciously. Tian Luo looked at Shang Wu and nodded, happy for the crow, so he slept next to Shang Wu with Shang Wu's arm around him. Shang Wu watched Tian Luo sleep so peacefully, and some of the extreme processing methods that had appeared in his head just now quickly threw out of his mind. For a short time, Shang Wu didn't react to what Tian Luo thought, but it seems that Tian Luo will not make things worse, so at least he can sleep well tonight.

Shang Wu experienced fighting wits and courage with the clan elders in the morning, fighting with crows in the afternoon, and then eating barbecue with a group of people close to him in the evening.

Shang Wu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed, so he sorted out his thoughts about family affairs in his mind.

The family sacrifice to be held in the near future, Shang Wu intends to divide the family sacrifice into two parts:

The first part will be announced in this matter to give the surname of the outsider business, in the future, Dayi merchants will no longer have the title of outsiders, the doorpost is the household registration officer, all Dayi merchants need to go to the doorpost to register personal information, specialties, advantages and family situation, etc., including the Shang family also need to register.

In the second part, the merchants who give the surname worship outside the altar, and the clansmen worship within the altar, and during the worship, there are crows to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth and the ancestors, and to sacrifice to the emperor and the queen of heaven, and then to sacrifice to the ancestors and tell the ancestors about the major events that happened in the family. Of course, it is necessary to communicate with the crow about God in advance, and how to make everyone believe in God at the family sacrifice, it is best to have some miracles.

Shang Wu thought about it and fell asleep in a daze.
