Chapter Seventy-One: Chinese New Year
The salt goods in Laizhou were quickly controlled, and there were no major or minor incidents except for this incident, and every household was busy celebrating the New Year.
Wang Zheng was no exception, he picked a spare time to accompany Yu'er back to Zhoucheng, and at the same time bought New Year's goods and changed Yu'er into new clothes.
Yu'er changed into the pale pink shirt and turned around in front of Wang Zheng's eyes, and even the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop was full of praise when he saw it, this shirt was too suitable for Yu'er, as if it was tailor-made.
"Shopkeeper, how much silver does this shirt cost?"
"Twenty-two taels, my lord, this dress really fits Madame so well, it's as beautiful as a fairy..."
Wang Zheng became interested when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Oh, how do you know that I am an adult?" ”
The shopkeeper sighed, looked at the wooden card on Wang Zheng's waist, and said with a smile: "Although the small eyes are not very good, but you can still see this deck of cards, with this hand must be the heroes of Wendeng Camp, how dare you ask for more." ”
Yu'er frowned, as if she thought it was very expensive, and just opened her mouth to speak, but when she heard that Wang Zheng had already made a sound, she quickly closed her mouth.
Wang Zheng laughed happily, patted the man's shoulder, and said while looking back: "Shao Yong, give the silver to the shopkeeper." ”
Wang Zheng walked out without looking back, but he didn't see the emotion in the eyes of Yu'er who was following behind.
Not long after, three rough men stepped in from outside, and Shao Yong was the leader.
Shao Yong walked in without saying a word, pretending to throw a silver ingot heroically, and was about to leave after throwing it complacently, the shopkeeper quickly nodded and thanked him.
Suddenly, he frowned, weighed his weight, and said with some hesitation:
"My lord, this is twenty taels..."
Turning around, Shao Yong wondered: "What, how much silver does the shirt cost?" ”
"It's twenty-two taels..."
Shao Yong glared at the shopkeeper when he heard this, and scolded: "Damn, you don't care about me for this mere two taels of silver, can't you die poor in your last life?" ”
This shopkeeper can't slap himself, it's really a pot that can't be opened, but now there is no regret medicine to eat, and his body was a little trembling at that time, and he didn't dare to say a word.
After a long time, the shopkeeper looked up and was surprised to see that Shao Yong had left.
At first, he didn't react, but then he carefully looked left and right outside the door, and didn't see the figure of Yanding, so he let go and laughed, and told the man to put the silver ingot in the drawer.
"It's weird... When this salt is in the hands of Lord Wang, it is different from usual. ”
Just now he thought that he was going to be finished, in the past, Zhang Yan Wang bought something and gave a penny, if you dare to talk to his salt Ding like this, a beating and scolding is light, even if you smash the shop, there is no place to reason.
This Ninghaizhou City is not big, just those few streets with shops and hawkers, all walked around in the first noon, and the New Year's goods were handed over to Shao Yong's Yanding to procure, and Wang Zheng picked out a few clothes and jewelry for Yu'er.
Speaking of which, Wang Zheng also felt that Yu'er was a little different this day, her personality was actually a little introverted, but this day she was laughing non-stop, but everything Wang Zheng bought for her was tightly held in her hands, for fear of losing it.
.......
On January 26, when the first rooster of the new year sounded, Wang Zheng had already run around the camp several times and was resting against the wall.
Suddenly, something fell on his face, touched it, wet, and cool, Wang Zheng raised his head, and was surprised to find that there were snowflakes floating in the sky.
The people of Wenden and the victims of the disaster all walked out of their homes with smiles on their faces.
Dong Youyin walked out of the door sleepily, almost tripped on the threshold, but when he raised his head, he saw that it was snowing, and grinned:
"Ruixue Zhaofeng year, Brother Zheng, this is a good sign!"
Wang Zheng nodded: "Well, a good sign." ”
Although most of the small snowflakes melted as soon as they fell to the ground, the people who saw them were very happy, and Wenden was also beaming with joy inside and out.
After getting up in the morning, everyone put down the original big and small things at hand, and were busy changing the door and pasting the Spring Festival couplets, while the children were running back and forth on the chirping, and in the sound of firecrackers, even Wang Zheng felt a strong atmosphere of the New Year.
"Lord Wang (Mr. Qian) has a good New Year!"
Wang Zheng walked on the road, and from time to time he could see the happy and busy people greeting him, and Wang Zheng was also full of joy, smiling back one by one.
Wang Zheng also went to take a look at a few Zhuangzi who had been resettled by the victims, who were steaming out baskets of white-flour steamed buns together at that time, and they had been integrated into Wendeng in less than a month.
"Lord Wang is here, let's see if our own craftsmanship has regressed."
A sharp-eyed woman saw Wang Zheng walking from afar, and kindly handed over a freshly steamed white-flour steamed bun.
At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said angrily:
"What are you talking about, how can adults help our family taste steamed buns, and then send them over when they are ready, adults must eat good ones."
Waving his hand, Wang Zheng took the hot steamed bun in the surprised eyes of the two, took a big bite without hesitation, gave a thumbs up and smiled:
"This big white flour steamed bun is good, my aunt's craftsmanship is good, it's just a little hot!"
The girl smiled embarrassedly, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, and the middle-aged man said gratefully:
"The adult is the benefactor of my family, and this white face is also given by the adult, so I and my mother-in-law can have a good year!"
A busy woman looked back and smiled:
"Yes, white noodles are very precious, and we can't eat a few bites in Liaodong in the past, but this year I finally don't have to eat those yellow and black steamed buns with miscellaneous skins."
"The smell of steamed buns..."
"What is this, my lord still slaughters pigs and sheep for us!"
Seeing the simple smiles of these people, Wang Zheng felt that his efforts in the past year had not been in vain.
Suddenly thinking of something, Wang Zheng clenched his fists and looked at the north, in his heart, there was barbarism and backwardness.
Wang Zheng seemed to feel big, and between the distant white mountains and black waters, there was a pair of eyes full of jealousy and greed looking at him.
......
Dong Youyin eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, and he is bored alone during the Chinese New Year, so he goes to Huangyang's house to eat and drink when he has nothing to do.
It's okay once or twice, but even Huang Yang was a little annoyed when he picked up a stick, and screamed Dong Youyin with a stick, but it didn't work, the second time the dead-faced guy came back, and Huang Yang had to pick up the wooden stick against the wall again...
This night Wang Zheng was in the room to accompany Wang Liushi for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Yu'er was also there, but always felt that something was missing, seeing Wang Liu's sullen appearance, Wang Zheng was also a little lost, of course, he understood that Wang Liushi remembered the original 'Wang Zheng's father again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, Yu'er went to open the door, but it was Dong Youyin.
He scratched his head and whispered:
"It's sister-in-law, auntie, brother Zheng! Look at this big New Year, how about I come to hang out! ”
Wang Liu wiped his tears and forced himself to laugh: "It's silver, come in and sit, and get a stool for Youyin!" ”
Hearing this, Dong Youyin hurriedly stepped forward a few steps in front of Wang Zheng, and said with a smile:
"Don't don't, this can't be done, Brother Zheng, you better sit down, I can just take the stool myself."
"You kid..."
Wang Zheng shook his head with a smile and sat back.
