"Come, this nephew will go back to our Tanggou Town to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, I'm happy, let's eat back to dry, come, nephew eat a chicken leg."

Li Jinli, who was the patriarch at the dinner table, said a word, followed by a chicken leg for Li Chaosheng, and then a piece of chicken himself, and waved his hand: "Eat." ”

At this time, the other people on the table dared to move the chopsticks one after another, and Li Chaolong, as a junior, only dared to move the chopsticks after many clan elders finished moving the chopsticks.

There is no way, this is the rule of feudal society, and the women and children in the family can only watch from afar, drooling.

Li Chaosheng ate a mouthful of chicken thighs, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this chicken is so fragrant, it is definitely not comparable to the broiler chicken bought in the 21 world market, and even many markets are marked with the so-called high-end chicken, and the chicken of the wandering chicken can't be compared with this chicken, it's really delicious.

Li Chaosheng was eating, and at this time he suddenly saw a six-year-old child in the crowd, looking at the chicken leg in Li Chaosheng's hand, Harazi couldn't help but flow, and looked at it with a pitiful look.

Li Chaosheng couldn't bear to look at it, so he beckoned: "Come here." ”

At this time, the child came over, Li Chaosheng touched the child's head with a smile and said, "What's your name?" ”

The child was a little timid, so he hid back at this time, and the old patriarch smiled when he saw this: "Broken baby, this is the brother of your second uncle's family, and he still doesn't answer his brother's question." ”

Hearing this, the child was like a little adult, learning from the Confucian students of this era, and when they met, they arched their hands and said, "I have seen my brother, the boy Li Chaogu." ”

"Poof~cough......"

Li Chaosheng originally drank a sip of water, but when he heard the name of the little boy, he almost choked to death, Li Chaogu, he is a true ancestor, did he touch his head just now?

"Nephew, are you alright?"

"Brother, it doesn't matter, right?"

At this time, Li Jinli and Li Chaogu all looked at Li Chaosheng with concern, especially Li Chaogu, I don't know why I always felt that the brother in front of me was indescribably cordial, but at a glance, it seemed to be closer than his own brother Li Chaolong.

"Ahem~ It's okay, it's okay, so I choked a little."

Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said, finally calming down his breath, at this time Li Chaosheng looked at the 'old ancestor' who was staring at the chicken leg in his hand.

"Want to eat?"

Li Chaosheng asked Li Chaogu with a smile on his face, and Li Chaogu swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want to at all." ”

"Hahaha...... The mouth is really tough, it's really like me, No, take it and eat it. ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaogu and smiled, and then handed over the chicken legs, Li Chaogu didn't dare to pick it up directly, but turned his head to look at the old patriarch, the old patriarch nodded at this time and said: "Brother, don't dare to resign, accept it." ”

"Thank you, brother."

Li Chaosheng took the chicken leg at this time, his face was full of excitement, and he didn't forget to salute Li Chaosheng at this time, Li Chaosheng didn't know what he was in, so he reached out and touched Li Chaogu's head again.

"Be polite to me, hahaha......"

Li Chaosheng glanced at Li Chaosheng, and then retreated into the crowd, Li Chaosheng glanced at it, thinking that this greedy ancestor would gobble up meat, but he didn't expect that Li Chaogu didn't eat it, but came to an old lady and handed the meat to the old lady, the old lady refused with a smile, but Li Chaogu still handed the meat over, and it wasn't until the old lady took a bite that Li Chaogu happily ate it.

What a filial ancestor.

"How old is the dolphin?"

Li Chaosheng looked at it and asked, and when he heard this, the old patriarch on the side said dotingly: "It's six years old." ”

Six?

Li Chaosheng looked at the old man with a white beard, and was very curious, how did he give birth to a six-year-old child at such an old age? Is this kid yours?

In fact, this is really a miracle of life, although the old patriarch looks like he is about to hang, in fact, he is only in his fifties this year, but in this era of average life expectancy of forty years, this age is already considered an old man, and the reason why he is so weak is mainly because the nutrition cannot keep up, and the natural conditions are too bad.

Moreover, in ancient times, it was important to keep a beard and hair, and as soon as this person wore a beard, he could at least look ten years old, and many reasons added up to cause this old man to look like he was about to return to the West at any time.

But the old man's health is really good, six years ago when he was idle and had nothing to do, he still had a son out, in fact, having a son in his fifties is nothing to men, but it is a ghost door for women.

Not to mention this era, even a modern woman in her forties giving birth to a child is also a high-risk thing, but Li Jinli's daughter-in-law survived the ghost gate and gave birth to Li Chaogu, which is really hanging, and Li Chaosheng's branch is extinct.

But although I came back from the ghost gate, my body has also become weaker, and the whole person looks sick all the time, to put it bluntly, it is also aftercare, plus nutrition can't keep up.

And Li Chaogu was not easy to give birth to, plus he was old enough to have children, so Li Jinli cherished it very much, and even did not hesitate to use ten catties of wheat to find the most literate old scholar Zhang in the town to study.

You must know that ten catties of wheat can save lives in this era!

Everyone is very happy to eat, how long has it been since I saw it dry, Li Chaosheng started to eat it OK, it was fresh, but the second bite was a little difficult to swallow, this wild vegetable is a wild vegetable after all, in this era without condiments, how to eat it has a bitter taste, and it is extremely uncomfortable to eat in the mouth.

However, the others ate it flyingly, especially the pot of stewed chicken, which was eaten by several clan elders with full beards, but at this time they did not care about their own image at all.

You must know that these clan elders usually have a lot of power, in the Ming Dynasty, the administrative units set up by Zhu Yuanzhang only reached the county level, as for the villages and towns below, they are all managed by these clan elders, and there are no village heads, or town mayors.

Therefore, in this situation where the law is not perfect and the political power does not go to the countryside, the clan elders are equivalent to the local emperors, and even have the right to decide whether people live or die.

A meal is almost eaten, at this time Li Chaosheng did not finish a nest, this nest is really difficult to eat, although it is made of flour, but the first is mixed with bitter wild vegetables, and secondly, the flour used in this era is not the refined flour that people eat now.

It is a coarse noodle that does not beat off the wheat bran and malt, and the taste is very rough, and the flour milled in this era is also ground with a stone mill, and it is inevitable that some sand will be mixed into it in the process, although it is very subtle, and it is not a problem for these people who have been hungry for a long time, but for a modern person, it is really toothy.

"Chaosheng, now that the recognition of the ancestors and the return to the ancestors have been completed, what are your plans next?"

The old patriarch looked at Li Chaosheng and asked, at this time Li Chaosheng said: "Since I have come back, I want to live in our Tanggou Town first, my father has also left some inheritance, I will see if I can buy some land and settle here from now on." ”
