On Chinese New Year's Eve, the fire trees and silver flowers in the eastern capital city are even more joyful in the imperial city.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave a banquet to the Great Cause Palace, officials above the fifth grade and envoys from the 23rd Dynasty were all present, and Su You also made an exception because of the two inventions presented by the year, however, among the people present, in addition to Yang Guang, the most distinguished guest was the Khan of Qimin, followed by Lu Yuan Taizuo, the great pair of Goguryeo, and the rest of the envoys except for the Ono sister of Fusang who had a formal worship, the other more than 20 countries were basically merchants, but their merchant identities were selectively ignored by Yang Guang in this night banquet.

The ministers knew the reason for this, so they were naturally not stupid enough to ask about the official positions of these tributaries. Su Youxi accompanied the last seat, and he joined in the fun, and next to Yu Wenhua and He Ruohuailiang, the eldest son of He Ruobi, sat next to him. Su You was thinking about many friends and many roads, and he had the heart to make friends with them, but he had a cold ass on his hot face, and he was very resentful in his heart, and his mood became depressed, and he just wanted to go out early to see the lights.

There are many people at the banquet, and the people who toast come and go, Yang Guang is also massive, but those who come do not refuse, two hours down, see that the sky is getting late, Yang Guang is also a little tired, and the night banquet is over. During this period, Su You only made eye contact with Yang Er, Xue Daoheng, Bard and others a few times, and originally wanted to say a few words to Laihu'er, but he never had the opportunity, so he had to come out suddenly.

Sui Emperor Yang Guang turned back to the Guanwen Hall, and asked Wang Yi to quickly present the congratulatory watch of the hundred officials, obviously, while holding a toothpick while listening to people patting horses' ass is the reserved program for this Chinese New Year's Eve, I didn't expect Sui Emperor Yang Guang to have such a bad taste.

According to the custom, all officials have to congratulate the longevity on this day, and the right to do it is to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. No one said anything sad about the New Year's Festival, and all of them picked up good words to write, so Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty liked the New Year's festival the most.

At this time, Yang Guang, who had been worried for a whole year, decided to take a good look at these greeting watches in order to be physically and mentally happy and better communicate with the Five Emperors. But no matter how sweet the honey is, you will get tired of eating too much. If you watch too much of 'Shengshou Ankang' and 'Longevity Without Borders', it will also make him feel bored.

Yang Guang threw the notebook in his hand and said, "Nothing is fresh?" ”

Wang Yi, who was serving on the side, said with a smile: "This just shows that the hundred officials respect His Majesty the same." ”

Yang Guang scolded with a smile: "It's like smearing honey on your mouth, just stop looking at it." With his foot, he kicked the tall stacks of congratulatory watches and kicked these colorful pieces to the ground. Wang Yi was about to clean up, but when he saw that there was a black cover among them, he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "Who is so ignorant? ”

Wang Yi had the intention to put away the notebook, but was stopped by Yang Guang's words, where did he dare to make trouble, so he had to obediently pick it up, and raised his hands to Yang Guang.

Emperor Sui took it with a sinking face, and glanced at the name on the cover, it was 'Imperial Doctor Zhang Heng.' 'Zhang Heng was originally in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when Emperor Wen of Sui was the right concubine of the prince, he was Yang Guang's henchman at that time. And in the long-term cooperation between the two, in addition to the working relationship between superiors and subordinates, they can also be regarded as knowing the roots, so Yang Guang is holding his black fold at this time, but he probably knows it

It wasn't until he opened it that a smile really appeared on his face, and he said with relief, "Jianping is really my confidant." ”

Wang Yi was guessing, who is this Zhang Heng going to impeach?

When Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was secretly happy, Su You also arrived at home, although at this moment the lights were hung up in the citizens of the Eastern Capital, and Fu Yin also ordered the lights to be put on for three days, and the curfew was canceled at the same time, but more people are still used to sitting around the stove with their families, after all, this is a tradition, and more importantly, this ghost weather is really cold.

After Su You got off the chopsticks, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also began, and the family talked and laughed, and they were happy.

"By the way, everyone wait, I'll go get the wine." Su You suddenly remembered something, got up and left the table.

"Sir, these two altars of drunken life and dream death are not enough for us to drink?" Xiao Jiu shouted, but still followed him to the door, but saw Su You carefully peel off the snow with his hand and take out a black clay pot.

"Sir, isn't this the high-grade Sanle pulp that King Qi specially gave you? How dare I share such a fine wine with you? ”

In later generations, many people thought that Sanle Pulp was a special liquor for the Hu people, but in fact, Sanle Pulp is a kind of fruit wine, which is slightly sweet in the mouth. In this era, the sand pulp is more similar to the champagne of later generations.

"Don't dare to drink the Sanle pulp sent by King Qi, how dare you drink the drunken dream created by Mr. Come, let's drink a bowl together. Su You gave everyone a bowl of light red wine, persuaded the wine arrogantly, and sang a few words of Peking Opera in later generations, "Drink the celebration wine today, the ambition is not rewarded, and the future party will show his skills, and he will write the Spring and Autumn ...... with blood."

Everyone raised their bowls one after another, even Qingjing was full of pride, but fortunately when he drank it in his mouth, he found that this wine was not as strong as drunken dreams and death, and the entrance was slightly sweet, with a soft breath.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Su You saw that everyone still couldn't let go, and he had already eaten it in the palace, so he told everyone, and took this opportunity to get up and leave the table, leaving this world to the people.

Su You returned to the study, a little bored, wanted to write, only to grind but found that there seemed to be no strength in his hands, let alone painting, at this time I couldn't help but think of my son who was missing, remembered that he had held hands but had been too busy to see each other in Yanbei, and of course Wei Zheng and Wang Ji, they left in a hurry two days ago, but I don't know where this will be?

In addition to sorrow, there is also news that makes Su You happy, Yan Shigu said in his heart that there is a Yidu person named Cui Xinming who is very interested in teaching at the starting point academy, and the two have reached a basic agreement through the letter, which should be determined in the next year.

Su You smiled and replied to Yan Shigu, for a while, Xiao Jiu and they finally finished eating, and many people set off firecrackers again, because they saw that Su You had been busy, so the determination to keep the New Year around the fireplace was much weaker than in previous years, and I don't know who mentioned yì to see the lights, but after a while, there was a result, so everyone went out for a while.

Feng Lingbo sat alone by the fire in a daze, and didn't even care that Su You walked into the house.

"Limbo? Why don't you go out with Qingjing and them? ”

"Oh, sir, are you going to bathe now?"

"It's okay, I'll come out to see the stove, I'm afraid you're all gone, and no one will seal the stove."

"I don't really want to go out, there's no one on the street here, it's boring."

"I think there's something I haven't done, come on, help."

Feng Lingbo nodded, and didn't ask what to do, just watched Su You in a daze at the bundle of sugarcane he bought back last time, and felt inexplicable, but he heard him mutter, "Of course, this first step is to turn the sugarcane into what Wang Ji called "syrup", just like grinding tofu, this step can be completed with a grinding plate; However, if it is to be produced in large quantities, it is necessary to use a pulper. ”

"Do you mean to grind the sugar cane? It seems that you have to chop it into pieces with a kitchen knife first, or you can't grind it. ”

"Well, the kitchen knife is here, our task tonight is to squeeze the sugar cane into juice first, and then put the juice on the fire to roast. By the way, have you ever seen how to make vermicelli fans?

Feng Lingbo shook his head blankly, when Su You thought of the cane sugar method and vermicelli, he thought of cassava sweet potatoes or something, I don't know where these things come from, if these crops can be vigorously promoted, it will be easier to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the countryside.

"Alright, you go find two jars, wash them and set them aside. I'll need to use it to boil the cane juice into a syrup over a fire and then pour it into another jar. Tomorrow we're going to dig up some mud and come back, and we're going to get the yellow one. ”

Feng Lingbo didn't understand Su You's intentions, but he also wrote them down one by one, and was secretly happy to be able to participate in Su You's reality.

In the dead of night, Su You and Feng Lingbo were in full swing for the sugar making process, but fortunately, the final result did not deviate from Su You's expectations.

However, when Su You fell asleep, he regretted it a little, he had concealed Yang Er when he thought of the idea of improving the sucrose, but now why did he let Feng Lingbo get involved? For a while, I was a little interested in digging yellow mud tomorrow.
