Chapter 233: New Year's Sacrifice

Lushun City, and even the entire Qing Kingdom, is already full of smoke, and every household is busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve meals and preparing hearty food.

At the Lushun Headquarters, in the kitchen of Liu Jun's house, there was not the sound of chopping vegetables and talking.

"Old Wu, don't you know how to wash vegetables." Liu Jun, who was wearing an apron, saw Wu Datong's fat body squatting on the ground, picking up vegetables from time to time, looking like that, don't think about washing them out for two hours.

"Dashuai, I'm a sage who reads, where can I wash vegetables." Wu Datong's face was full of grievances.

Originally, all departments were on holiday today, and they finally wanted to have a meal, but they didn't expect that Liu Junsan's wife would be driven into the kitchen when he gave an order. Remorse.

"You read the books of sages, Lao Tzu is still handsome. What can you do, it's not like you still have to pad the pot. After speaking, Liu Jun picked up the big spoon and shook it twice.

"Zhong Lin, what are you doing with them?" Liu Jun turned his head and saw Zhong Lin picking up the kitchen knife and holding down the fish head.

"Head, it's killing fish anyway, why don't you kill it." Zhong Lin raised the kitchen knife with a puzzled expression.

"Get out of here, and one of them will hand over ten taels of silver to Xiang'er and Ruojing's two maids. Let them in...... I ......"

With a bang, before Liu Jun finished speaking, he saw Wu Datong and Zhong Lin as if they had been amnestied, put down the guy in their hands and ran out like the wind.

These two men, not to mention ten taels, are twenty taels and they give them, this is simply torture to stay here. "Grass, it's still fast."

It is estimated that the charm of silver is too great, and after a while, the two maids of Xiang'er and Ruojing walked in with a smile. Wash the vegetables and kill the fish.

Bang bang, after a few moments of getting all the ingredients, Liu Jun picked up the big spoon at once. looked at the girl who didn't believe she could make a good dish.

Hmph, look down at me, seeing the eyes of those people, Liu Jun snorted lightly: "Today, look at my brother to show you a hand." What is called a good man in the kitchen of heaven. ”

Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin, sweet and sour tenderloin, stir-fried kidney flower, boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, farmhouse fried meat, all kinds of dishes, are nothing in later generations, but now, many talents, it looks simple, but it is not something that people can make on the side.

Looking at the plates of dishes to descale, Xiang'er was also stunned, he never thought that his uncle could do this. I thought he would make hot pot, but now, now......

"Go get the wine, brother will give me a white wine duck today." Liu Jun was addicted to cooking, and suddenly remembered that there was a beer duck, but now he couldn't find beer, so he had to use liquor instead.

Busy, busy, until it was almost dark. Liu Jun finally finished the last dish.

Looking at the plates of dishes, Liu Jun put down the spoon. I took a look at the girls who were now stunned.

The expression of confidence, pride, and excitement did not show a low-key expression on his face at all: "Go, serve, our family will not be drunk tonight." ”

Crackling...... In Arthur City, since the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers has been heard from time to time.

At the headquarters, Zhong Lin picked up the lit incense and stepped forward to light the lead.

Bang bang. The sound of firecrackers is endless.

"Husband, are you sure you didn't ask Xiang'er to help." Aixinjue Luo Ruojing has just turned twenty years old. Where would you worry about these, Liu Jun has been at home and asked Aixin Jue Luo Ruojing to call her husband, get used to it, plus now seeing the dishes on the table, Aixin Jue Luo Ruojing is face is unbelieving, don't talk about her, it is Wu Xiaoyan, Li Maolian all showed a look of disbelief and looked at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, we didn't help my uncle, these dishes were all made by my uncle, and we were responsible for lighting the fire and washing the vegetables." ”

"Yes." The two girls sitting next to Xiang'er also nodded. It can be regarded as admitting that Liu Jun did this.

"Head, we won't get drunk tonight," Zhong Lin finished speaking, picked up the wine glass and began to drink.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are not so many taboos, and there are no handsome subordinates, some are a family.

Aixinjue Luo Ruojing looked incredulous, but he still picked up the chopsticks and picked up a white wine duck that he had never seen before.

Gently open the small mouth, put a small piece of duck meat in the mouth, and chew it twice.

Well, Aixinjue Luo Ruojing's eyes widened in surprise all of a sudden, and after a while, she said, "It's delicious." ”

When Wu Xiaoyan saw her sister say this, she also picked up a piece, and sure enough, she loved what Xinjue Luo Ruojing said, it was indeed delicious.

"I've decided, you don't have anything to do in the future, you have covered the food in this house." Aixin Jueluo Ruojing swallowed the food and clapped suddenly.

What? Liu Jun, who was holding up the wine glass and drinking with Zhong Lin, was stunned all of a sudden, this was really terrifying, as if he didn't hear it, Liu Jun picked up the wine glass again and drank with Wu Datong and others.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the dumplings were eaten early, and dozens of days of worshipping the ancestral grave were worshipped, but Liu Jun had no relatives, but after pretending to worship a few times, he began to urge his family to hurry up and dress up, because today, there is a very grand event, go outside the city, and worship the soldiers of the Lushun Army who have sacrificed against the Japanese within the city.

On the hillside outside the city, from the time the first Lushun army was killed and buried here to the end, there were 6,740 people.

Most of the people buried here are locals, that is, the soldiers who died in the first and second battles to defend Lushun in Lushun City, as well as senior officers such as Liu Buchan.

As soon as he went out, Liu Jun and the others saw that many people were carrying incense, candles, paper money, and walking outside the city, Liu Jun knew that these were all to worship those soldiers.

Among them, only Aixinjue Luo Ruojing didn't know the reason, Wu Xiaoyan talked about the relationship between the buried soldiers and Liu Jun in general, Aixinjue Luo Ruojing, who had never liked to cry, actually looked at Liu Jun's back and shed tears.

Hills outside the city. The crowd was already standing, whether it was the people carrying incense, candles, and paper money, or the Lushun soldiers who had ordered to come to the memorial ceremony early with white flowers on their chests, they all stood there neatly.

As soon as the people saw Liu Jun in a black cloak and the people who were following Liu Jun, they immediately automatically dodged a path and let Liu Jun move forward......

I haven't been here for a long time, and the new mound is now overgrown with weeds.

There are no superfluous words. Liu Jun turned his head, looked at Zhong Lin beside him, and signaled that he could start the memorial ceremony.

Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.

Rumble. Rumble...... Rumble...... The salute began to fire, and everyone fell silently.

It's been more than a year, and many people here have been sleeping for more than a year, Liu Jun closed his eyes and began to recall the previous scenes.

Tuchengzi blocked the battle, and the Great Wall was attacked. The second defense battle, the fort defense battle, in every battle, there were good men in Lushun who spilled their blood on the battlefield. Without Lushun, there would be no pursuit today.

With a bang, the last salute was fired.

There is no sacrificial text, nor any tirade, silently staring at these lonely mounds, and looking at the mound in front of him, the tombstone in front of this mound still reads Liu Buchan, the chief soldier of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty and the head of Dingyuan.

If it weren't for Liu Buchan who persuaded Ding Ruchang to break through before he died, I am afraid that today, where is the existence of the Beiyang Naval Division, it has been destroyed in Weihai.

Heroes, all heroes, Liu Jun's eyes began to moisten, and tears began to fall from the corners of his eyes.

With a plop, Liu Jun suddenly knelt on the ground.

Aixinjue Luo Ruojing, Wu Xiaoyan, Li Maolian, Zhong Lin, etc., as soon as they saw Liu Jun suddenly kneeling on the ground, they also followed behind, and suddenly knelt behind Liu Jun.

There was a bang, and the people and soldiers who followed behind all knelt on the ground. Many of the people buried here are their own relatives, their own relatives. His relatives are just small soldiers, but now, not only the handsome, but also the gege of the imperial court, are kneeling down for their children and relatives to worship.

The people shed tears, they really felt that their children did not follow the wrong person, and their children chose the right person.
