However, in the end, there are still five hundred and forty deposits, even in Chang'an, it is a huge amount of money, Liu Chenxing has calculated it just now, and the daily expenses can still sit on the mountain for three or four years, so there is no need to worry about the money, and now the calculation is just to let each other have a number in their hearts, so how to spend the next New Year.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was only afternoon at this time, the sky outside the hall was still bright, Liu Chenxing sorted out the list of New Year's goods in three times and five by two, wrote his own New Year's things on a piece of rice paper, and wrote a list of gifts and banquets on a rice paper.

Looking at the two lists, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but stroke his forehead, and suddenly felt that it was really good to have the Liu family take care of everything at home before, but now he has to plan this, which is really complicated and cumbersome.

Suffering from the trivial chores of the New Year, Liu Chenxing could only comfort himself, and when these busyness was over, he could sprint to the last month before the exam with peace of mind, so he calmed down and discussed the year with Liu Qingshan, the elder brother, and when Liu Wensu returned home when the drums on the sixth street were over, the New Year's matters were also agreed.

The Xue Cheng brothers and sisters are very good friends with their brothers and sisters, and now they are in Chang'an, so they have to invite them to the house for the New Year, plus the two servants Ah Zhong and Ah Zhen brothers and sisters, that is, there are seven people in the family for the New Year, and they have to buy enough rations for seven people.

At this time, the Chang'an New Year is similar to the modern New Year, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the second day of the new year, it is necessary to eat and transfer seats between relatives and friends, but now it is called "passing sitting", the name is different but the meaning is the same.

Liu Chenxing had already inquired about the customs of the New Year in Chang'an from Cheng Lan, the eldest lady next door, and included the eating and turning table in the list.

First of all, the Cheng family next door has to invite a meal, after all, since she came, in order to save expenses, she has taken three meals a day into her hands, and Uncle Liu will no longer pay the food expenses to the Cheng family.

The Cheng family is not annoyed when they have less income, and they will serve them a bowl of delicious food, although she knows that this delicious food is completely sent by Aunt Cheng for the person she likes, but because of this, in the case that Uncle Liu has no intention of Aunt Cheng, they can't take advantage of others.

In addition, Uncle Liu's friends and colleagues in Chang'an have to invite them to their home for a meal during the Chinese New Year, so as to do personal favors for Uncle Liu.

And Cui Yao helped a lot this time, so that their brothers and sisters showed their faces in front of dignitaries, and there was less trouble about running around and running into walls, of course, Cui Yao and his people were really cold-hearted, so that they all showed their faces, not only to their brothers and sisters, but they also have to be grateful.

It's just that the other party is a child of a high-ranking family, and he is grateful for all his net worth, Cui Yao may not be able to see it, so it is better to invite Cui Yao to the house for a meal, maybe he is used to eating big fish and meat, and he also feels that the food novelty of their small family is the most important thing is to invite the family to have sincerity.

The brother and sister calculated one item after another, and the next morning, when Liu Wenwen was busy with the gathering of his colleagues from the previous year, they hurriedly rode their horses and crossed most of the city to buy New Year's goods in the West Market.

I have been in Chang'an for more than two months, and I have to go to the West Market every ten days and a half to buy daily consumables such as rice, grain, paper and ink, and Liu Chenxing is quite familiar with the West Market.

Probably the West Market belongs to the place of civilian consumption, which is much more lively than the East Market next to the red light district like Pingkangfang, and as far as the eye can see, you can only see the crossroads that can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City, and the shops on both sides of the four wide alleys of east, west, south and north are lined up. Clothing shops, silk shops, medicine stores, fish shops, wine shops and other kinds of shops are readily available, and then look at the shops left and right, what Zhangjiadian fruit shop, Doujialou food store, Jingxian house decoration shop, diviner Lao Li, etc., can be said to go up to the traditional industry of clothing, food, housing and transportation, down to the well-off industry of home furnishing and soft decoration, and even their Anjia Village Sun Shen Doctor - fortune teller Lao Li, can be found in the West Market.

And don't look at the area of the West Market, there is a large square and a middle square combined, and there are naturally countless storefronts inside, but the flow of people here is also large, and there are almost no people who only shop and don't buy, so you don't have to worry about business being bad.

As soon as Liu Chenxing entered the West Market, she had to get off her little brown horse, do you know why?

Answer: Xishi is crowded with people, and it is difficult for people to move an inch, let alone horses.

Of course, he is also not good at riding, Liu Chenxing is afraid that he will accidentally step on people, it is really a bustling street, all kinds of people are dazzled, not to mention, there are three or four-year-old children, as well as sixty or seventy-year-old people, and children and old people are absolutely untouchable.

But standing in the middle of the crowded crossroads, looking at almost every shop and every stall being crowded with customers, Liu Chenxing touched his chin and thought: "Brother, in fact, it seems to be quite easy to find a livelihood in Chang'an, you see that there are everything sold in the West Market, if we really can't find a job, we can set up a writing stall on the West Market Street, write family letters for people, and it is estimated that we can make a living." ”

Liu Qingshan saw that Liu Chenxing was thinking about it quite seriously, and was afraid that the sister who had gotten into the eyes of money would really be like this, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Go to the downtown to set up a stall to write family letters, how can you read books like this?" Besides, you are now a female jinshi, and you can go to the fang every month to receive the same money, that is, to set up a stall to write family letters, then I will also go! ”

Hearing this, Liu Chenxing wanted to say that Grandpa Mao could study in the city, he couldn't be because the realm had not yet arrived, but he also said casually when he read that he was setting up a stall to write a family letter, and his brother's words did not hide the intention of defending her, so he said: "It is not necessary to set up a stall to write family letters, but the West Market is indeed full of business opportunities, and we can still think about it carefully when we look back." ”

Seeing that Liu Chenxing dispelled his thoughts, Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around, nodded and said: "The West Market is indeed prosperous, and after the province has tried, Brother Ah will come to the bottom to see if there is any way to make a living." ”

They didn't want Liu Wensu to spend any more, so they waited for Liu Wensu to go out for a banquet in the morning today, and they just went out, and it was almost lunch.

As the saying goes, it's good to work when you're full, and now of course, it's time to eat lunch early before you start buying!

The people take food as the sky, and the brother and sister planned to have lunch, only to hear the old man of a stall in the south lane of the intersection shouting: "Mutton in the water basin!" After eating my Zhang Lao Liu mutton soup, I am afraid that it will not be cold for a winter! ”

The brother and sister looked at each other the same, yes, you don't need to look for it, just Zhang Lao Liushui's mutton.

Although I ate mutton soup on the winter solstice last night, I couldn't do it, and now the main meat food is mutton, not to mention what to eat without mutton soup for three or nine days?

"Shop! Double lamb, two! Another Hu Biscuit to cut! ”

Knowing that their brother and sister were all carnivores, Liu Chenxing greeted Zhang Lao Liu directly.

Sitting on a low stool on the side of the street, a bowl of double mutton with a snorting basin was eating happily, and he raised his head again, and took a bite of the sesame seeds, and felt a chill on the end of his nose, and then white snow particles floated in front of him.

"Brother, it's snowing!"

When the crisp female voice sounded in surprise, snow particles fell in a flutter.

When the whole Chang'an became a world of ice and snow covered in snow, the first day of the first month arrived.

Firecrackers to remove the old year, happy New Year's Day!
