Chapter 60: Chinese New Year's Eve
"What's the big deal? What a fuss! Bring the drunk chicken to the kitchen and stew it for Senior Wu! ”
Wang Xi scolded. Wang Xiaoshan still cried and said with a sad face: "No, no, it was the drill steel wind that killed the drunken chicken with one leg!" ”
With a "horn", the wine glass in Wu Laoqi's hand shattered!
The three of them walked to the chicken coop and saw that the drunken chicken was raising its neck, while the drill steel wind was paralyzed to the side, bleeding from his nostrils.
Wang Xi stepped forward to pick up the drill steel wind, distressed, Shi Kaiquan also rushed over, and he was also sorry to see it, and he was straight to the tooth flower.
Wu Laoqi picked up the drunken chicken, examined it, and his eyes lit up! "Wang Langjun, quickly bring the flying steel canopy over and let it fight with the drunken chicken again!"
Wang Xi was taken aback: "Senior Wu, if the flying steel canopy is pecked by the drunken chicken again, I ...... What are we going to do? ”
"Let's use the drunken chicken on the cockfighting platform!" Wu Laoqi is meaningful.
Wang Xi and Shi Kai looked at each other comprehensively, at a loss, but Li Tao suddenly realized!
Not a big deal, Wang Xi hugged the flying steel canopy. Wu Laoqi put the drill steel wind and the drunken chicken into a big bamboo circle, and used the cockfighting stick to pluck it slightly, and the two fighting cocks shook their feathers and flapped their wings, and their feet were facing each other. The flying steel canopy has been through several cockfighting battlefields, and it is quite experienced in one move and one style. At first glance, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but its steps are staggering, giving people a sense of top-heavy. After a while, the drill steel wind pecked the drunken chicken a few times, and then bullied forward. Seeing that the drunken chicken was about to be forced out of the bamboo circle by the drilling steel wind, he saw a dazzle, and it was the flying steel canopy that fell to the ground, rolling out of the bamboo ring far away, and the two round eyes were stunned - it turned out that the flying steel canopy ate a drunken chicken on its head and was knocked unconscious!
The drunken chicken chased after it and had to send it again, Wu Laoqi hurriedly picked it up, carefully observed its legs and feet, and praised it repeatedly: "What a drunken chicken!" ”
Wu Lao then pointed to the drunken chicken's Luo ring legs, and explained to Wang Xihe Shi Kaiquan, who didn't know why, happily: "You see, the drunken chicken's thighs and legs are very bent, and obviously the bounce is very strong, while the bright legs are thick and strong, and there is no fat at all. People in the rivers and lakes call this leg a heart-eroding leg, and only a chicken with extraordinary talent and explosive power can send it out. "It's better to fight than to fight a leg", it turns out that this chicken is the natural chicken of the king! It's just that this chicken is not visible and dewy, and it is a late bloomer, even Cui Laoba mistakenly regarded it as a chicken, if it weren't for Wang Langjun's good thoughts, it would have already become a thing in the belly. The little old man has been playing with chickens all his life, and he has only heard that people have said that he has eaten his heart and legs, but he never thought that he would see it with his own eyes! ”
After speaking, Wu Lao sighed.
This is really intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade, Wang Xi is even more dizzy! At that moment, Wu Laoqi repaired another book and informed Cui Laoba of the drunken chicken.
After beating this, the drunken chicken surname with a broken mouth has changed greatly, one is more violent than the other, and it can't smell its chicken crow, and when it hears the cry, it flies up its legs and jumps to fight. With a little training, the drunken chicken can defeat the opponent with lightning speed within a dozen rounds, and the king is full of domineering.
……
Fan Hefu really did not break his promise, and after the salt robbery, he devoted all his energy to the construction of Lu's Academy.
Three months later, the construction of the Lo's College was completed.
On the first day of the second lunar month of Jinglong, Lu's Academy enrolled the first batch of 273 peasant children free of charge. The children of the poor family can study for free, which has never happened for thousands of years, and the good names of Master Lu and Fan Hefu have spread throughout Luzhou.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
Yuan's family, Li Tao, Pei Yue, Biyu, and Nie Wushuang sat in the house to keep the New Year.
"Old Nie, you haven't been back for months, don't you have to go home on Chinese New Year's Eve?" Li Tao couldn't help but ask.
"Little master, no need! I just want to know ...... decimal point and fraction" Li Tao has popularized mathematical knowledge for Nie Wushuang until now.
Li Tao hurriedly interrupted Nie Wushuang: "Old Nie, it's finally the New Year, I don't want to discuss arithmetic with you!" ”
"Mistress, little master! It's time for the sub! Pei Yue reminded on the side.
Everyone got up one after another, greeting each other and saying auspicious words.
Biyu served Tusu wine, and Pei Yue toasted the first glass of wine to Li Tao: "Congratulations to the little master!" ”
Li Tao was celebrating the New Year in the Tang Dynasty for the first time, he took the wine and asked curiously: "Uncle Yue, why do you want me to drink it first?" ”
Pei Yue knew that Li Tao didn't remember what happened before, so he smiled and said: "Little master, the young child is a year older during the New Year, so you have to drink to celebrate first." And the elderly are one year older for the New Year, so they want to drink later! ”
It turned out that this was the truth, and Li Tao drank all the Tusu wine.
"It's bitter!" After drinking, Li Tao's eyebrows were almost squeezed together.
"Little master, Tu Su is made from a mixture of seven medicinal herbs, including rhubarb, atractylodes, bellflower, Shu pepper, cinnamon, aconitum and sarsaparilla. Although it is bitter, it can drive away evil spirits, detoxify and prolong life. Jasper explained.
After drinking the wine one by one, Biyu served a "Wuxin plate": the plate was green and spicy, and there were five kinds of vegetables: garlic, small garlic, leeks, brassica, and coriander. It is said that eating "Wuxin Pan" is to diffuse the depression of the five internal organs and prevent the epidemic from getting sick.
"Master, little master, you sit down for a while, I'll go and serve the 'prison pill'!" With that, Jasper turned away.
Li Tao was very curious and wanted to know what this "prison pill" was, but he finally couldn't help but ask.
When Jasper presented a bowl of "prison pills" to everyone, Li Tao couldn't help but laugh dumbly: it turned out that this "prison pills" were made of dough and kneaded into a half-moon shape wrapped in various fillings, and the water in the cauldron was boiled and fished out, and when eaten, it was accompanied by vinegar and garlic, which was called dumplings in later generations.
……
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lu family compound was also a peaceful image. At this moment, there are some wine and food in Master Lu's study, and Master Lu is sitting opposite Lu Shicai.
"Daddy, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me! If it weren't for Cui Shen writing to me, I would still be in the dark! Lu Shicai frowned.
Lu Shicai is in his thirties, the eldest son of Master Lu, and the only person in the Lu family who is an official in the court. Lu Shicai is the sixth-grade member of the Shangshu Provincial Rite Department who is responsible for the sacrifice, although the official position is not big, and there is no oil and water, but after all, he is a Beijing official, which is also the reason why Cui Jiaken deigned to marry the Lu family.
"I was just afraid that you wouldn't agree, so I didn't tell you, and I turned cooked rice into raw rice first!" Master Lu took a bite of the dish comfortably.
"Turned cooked rice into raw rice?" Lu Shicai smiled bitterly: "Daddy, I know you are distressed Yue'er!" Yue'er is also my daughter, shouldn't I feel distressed? But for the sake of our Lu family, there is no way to do it! ”
