Chapter Forty-Eight: New Year
Zhang Youke was very satisfied with the potatoes, both in terms of taste and the yield that Gao Zhong said, and even promised Gao Zhong two years to help his family reduce taxes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no such thing as a salary in the southwest region, but the tax revenue in the southwest region is not low, which is mainly used to support the demands of the soldiers in the southwest region, and bandits have always been a bad problem in the southwest region.
Zhang Youke also knew that if Gao Zhong was asked to go directly to talk to Gao Qiao'er about something, he was afraid that Gao Qiao'er would not serve him attentively, so he specially instructed Yang Sanlao to go back with Gao Zhong to explain the situation.
When she heard that this was something that Zhang Youke had explained, Gao Qiaoer immediately accepted it, and when she heard that Zhang Youke was going to help them reduce taxes for two years, Gao Qiaoer thought about it and immediately shook her head: "This, how good, half of the reduction and half of it will be fine." ”
But Yang Sanlao shook his head and said that this was something arranged by Master Wenquxing, and it could not be changed.
Hearing this, Gao Qiao'er relieved her heart and thanked Yang Sanlao again.
But Gao Qiao'er was taken aback when she saw Yang San Lao send potatoes into the house, wasn't this one of the two lumps that Gao Zhong had been holding in his arms before?
Since Gao Zhong returned to normal, Gao Qiao'er has not seen these two lumps of dirt, and even the small purse he wore in the collection did not know where he was hiding.
Now seeing so many potatoes, Gao Qiao'er has eaten them, is it true that what Zhong Wazi held before is really a treasure?
Yang Sanlao finally explained how to make this thing listen to Gao Zhong, and after finishing speaking, Yang Sanlao went home with a smile and satisfaction.
……
Because of the double insurance of Yang Sanlao and Zhang Youke, Gao Qiaoer was obedient to Gao Zhong's words, and found a place for potatoes to put aside in the house.
In addition to the high yield, the second characteristic of the three treasures of grain is prominent, that is, easy storage. As long as the potatoes are placed on the ground, they will not rot if they borrow the earth's gas. Sweet potatoes, on the other hand, need to dig a cellar to store them, which is very simple.
After November, the weather starts to get colder, and in late December, when the mountain wind blows, people only shiver, and at this time the farmers are usually busy preparing for the New Year.
Killing New Year's pigs and smoking bacon are almost the main things that everyone is busy with during November.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold in Fuzhou is different from the cold in other places, it is a kind of gloomy cold, damp and cold, and extremely freezing.
However, Gao Zhong and Gao Shangwu still went out early and walked towards the yellow cypress tree.
When she went out today, Gao Qiao'er took a linen cloth and gave it to Gao Zhong, which contained the charcoal left over from their family's firewood burning on weekdays, and asked him to bring it to Zhang Youke.
The two of them were walking on the road, and suddenly saw a figure walking towards them in rags: "I know you, you are the greedy wolf star, you are the seven killing stars, you are all disaster stars......
It turned out to be a female madman, she looked at Gao Zhong and Gao Shangwu with a smile, and danced as she spoke, as if she was dancing.
Gao Zhong was taken aback when he saw the person coming, this person was not Zhou, Gao Zhong's aunt.
Gao Shi was really crazy, she looked at Gao Zhong and Gao Shangwu with a foolish smile, and then as if she was startled by the two, she quickly rushed forward, and soon there was no shadow......
Gao's appearance only surprised Gao Zhong, and Gao Shangwu was also taken aback: "The wicked are punished again, and they suffer by themselves!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Zhong smiled and walked under the yellow cypress tree with Gao Shangwu.
After arriving at the bamboo house, Gao Zhong directly handed the charcoal to the little scholar, and then walked to the place where he practiced calligraphy, spread out the pen and ink and began to continue to write the eight-strand text.
"These eight strands of Wen are already about the same according to your current level, and if you are more skilled, next year's children's test should not be a problem. Work hard, and the middle and upper talents are unknown. However, you must not forget the four books and the five classics, and you must continue to study what I have given you. ”
Zhang Youke said to Gao Zhong in cotton clothes.
Gao Zhong nodded: "Thank you, Master Zhang." ”
"I'm going back to the city the day after tomorrow, there are a lot of things in the clan, and I'm also the backbone of the clan now, Ah Niang, they can't leave me, especially when the new year is approaching, and I still need to be in charge at home. I'll come back after the Lantern Festival, it's been a month, you don't have to slack off during this time! ”
Zhang Youke told Gao Zhong about his New Year's arrangements and told him to study hard.
Gao Zhong nodded: "I will definitely study hard." ”
"You're smart and hardworking, so I don't have to worry about that."
Zhang He smiled, and then walked back to his bamboo house to continue studying.
After Zhang Youke returned to the house, Yang Sanlao came over with a smile: "Zhong Wazi, Grandpa Yang has something for you to do me a favor." ”
I saw Yang Sanlao holding a piece of red paper in his hand, which was the paper used to write Spring Festival couplets, red on one side and white on the other.
"Grandpa Yang, you say!"
Gao Zhong smiled slightly and replied to Yang Sanlao, he already knew what Yang Sanlao was asking for at this moment.
"No, the New Year is coming, but there is a Spring Festival couplet at home, you can help write it."
Saying that, Yang San handed the red paper to Gao Zhong: "My grandson came to me for the first time this year for the New Year, and the Spring Festival couplets at home haven't been changed for a long time......"
"Just give it to me." Gao Zhong smiled when he heard this, took the red paper, put it on the wooden board where he was writing, thought about it, walked in front of Zhang Youke again, and said to Zhang Youke through the window: "Master Zhang, can you borrow a brush to use it, my brush is abrupt, and the words written are not good-looking, I want to use your pen for this Grandpa Yang to write." ”
"Slippery head!"
Zhang Youke smiled when he heard this, and then glanced at Yang Sanlao, who was smiling awkwardly on the side, and then took out a sheep's hair pen and dipped it in ink: "I don't want this, give it to Sanlao, this year can be regarded as hard work for him." ”
Yang Sanlao saw what Zhang Youke thought at a glance, didn't he just want to use Gao Zhong's so-called Wenqu Xing's breath to give it to his grandson, such a relative Zhang Youke himself has met a lot, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and took a pen and gave it away.
"Thank you, Master Zhang!"
Gao Zhong thanked Zhang Youke, returned to Yang Sanlao's side, then looked at the blank paper and thought for a while, then wrote: "The only thing in the world is to read well, and the world is as difficult as eating!" ”
This is a standard persuasion Spring Festival couplet, which is exactly in line with Yang Sanlao's intention to give to his grandson.
After a pause, Gao Zhong waved his pen and wrote another: "The grand plan is to prosper the mansion, and Taiyun will open a rich and noble family!" ”
After writing it, Gao Zhong said to Yang Sanlao: "One of these two Spring Festival couplets is to persuade students, the other is ordinary, and I can't comment on who sleeps well between the two, so you can choose one yourself." ”
Gao Zhong's words were very to the point, although he saw through Yang Sanlao's thoughts, but he didn't say it, and then gave the brush to Yang Sanlao, saying that it was given by Zhang Youke.
