The evening is a palace banquet, Zhao Hanzhang is thrifty, but there are meat and vegetables, to ensure that everyone is full, and the taste is good, the most important thing is that the wine she took out is very good, very to the heart of wine lovers.

It was kindly sponsored by Zhao Hu.

Because the equipment for winemaking was transformed with the help of Fu Tinghan, and he was happy to be a marquis this year, he was very generous.

At the banquet, Zhao Hu was very nervous, and invited everyone to go to his house to participate in the plum banquet on the fifth day of the new year.

The banquet that was originally planned to be held was re-planned, and because Zhao Cheng went and returned, and did not leave until after the Lantern Festival, Zhao Hu felt that this year's family was coming to the door with three joys (except for Zhao Cheng's resignation), so the re-planned banquet should be bigger and more luxurious.

At noon today, the merchants and helpers have received the news, and they are excited to share it with their families at the moment, "The seventh master of the Zhao family is generous, and he has added two hundred catties of fish, I will go to the village tomorrow to see, if we can take this business, we will be able to make two dollars in the next year." ”

The wife was pleasantly surprised, "So much? ”

"I'll find a way to put you in as a helper, just wash vegetables and dishes in the kitchen, and you can get 50 wen a day, I heard that the banquet will be held for three days in a row, and it will be 150 wen in three days."

The wife hesitated, "That's the land of the nobles, I'll go, in case I collide with the nobles......"

"You are working in the kitchen, you can't meet the nobles, the people in front of you are all trained girls and small servants in the house," the merchant said: "If it was before, even if it was only in the kitchen, I wouldn't dare to let you go, but now it's different, General Zhao loves the people, and the people of the Zhao family don't dare to make trouble, the last time the children of the Zhao family rode on the street, scared a person fell and injured his leg, and sued General Zhao, General Zhao personally whipped the whip and whipped that not to mention, and ordered them to pay a street stall owner, the wrestler, I got ten dollars in one fell swoop. ”

Since then, no powerful person has dared to act in the streets.

There are also slaves and maids in wealthy families who were unjustly killed and sued Zhao Hanzhang, and she was also dealt with severely, and the atmosphere in Luoyang was cleared, and the relationship between the common people and the powerful was a lot better.

Therefore, businessmen also dared to send their wives to the homes of powerful people to work as helpers to make quick money.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, especially those cooks and guys in the restaurant restaurant, who have been the helpers of the Zhao family early on.

At this time, the feast will be expanded, and the number of people needed will also increase, so it is natural for them to think about their relatives and friends first.

Therefore, in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to keep the New Year, while imagining the matter of going out to make money in two days, happy.

On the banks of the Yellow River, the migrant workers and soldiers who had finished work early and prepared for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early were also very happy.

Today is the New Year, so they only work until noon, and after noon the whole camp begins to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Fu Tinghan asked people to prepare the meat and vegetables for the New Year early, and opened a lot of grain bags for this purpose, took local materials to peel the wheat and grind it, mixed it with thirty percent of soybean flour and rolled it into dough and dumplings.

The meat and noodles were divided into teams, a team of 100 people, and they all had their cooks, so the camp looked big and there were many people, but it was not chaotic at all, and it was orderly.

Two tall women lifted a large pot and sandwiched it on the stone stove, stepped on the stool, and as soon as the pot was hot, immediately poured in two large spoons of soybean oil, and then put the meat slices......

With a snort, a smell of meat overflowed with the sound, and the thin pillar who rushed to take a bath in the first wave passed by, and couldn't help but run over and tiptoe to look at the pot, and when he saw the meat slices at the bottom of the pot, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "There is so much meat to eat tonight?" ”

"Go, go, don't drip saliva into the pot, there is still a while before eating, I have time to pick up some firewood, and I will spend the New Year around the campfire at night."

"Sister-in-law Feng, I'll just take a look, don't get close, smell this fragrance, I think I can live for ten more years, and where is there firewood around here? We were already told to pick them up. ”

"Don't call me Sister-in-law Feng, call me Sister Feng, and if you call me wrong, I'll give you a shovel."

"Yes, yes, Sister Feng."

One after another, some people came back from the bath, and they also smelled the fragrance, and while coming over to watch, they complained happily, "Lang Jun is really particular, he must let us take a bath, and it won't work if he doesn't wash, alas, I haven't taken a bath for half a year, and I almost can't get out when I go in." ”

"Lang Jun is for our good, in order to let us take a hot bath, but he sent someone to pull a lot of black bumps from far away, and specially dug a bath and built a shed for us to bathe, and I have taken such a comfortable bath since I was eight years old."

"Me too, Lang Jun forced us to take a bath before, I was afraid that I would catch a cold, thinking about how to wash it on such a cold day, who knew it would be so comfortable."

There are more than 10,000 people in one camp, ten bathhouses, and on the other side.

There are still twelve such camps along the Yellow River up and down, and Fu Tinghan has made arrangements early on, requiring each battalion to be strict, whether it is a civilian labor battalion or a military camp, it is the same as one battalion.

One battalion has it, all the other battalions have it, and he eats with the migrant workers.

Fu Tinghan has a separate camp here, which is not only where he lives, but also where he works, and where everyone holds meetings.

There was a simple bookshelf in the camp tent, which Fu Tinghan had found a few wooden planks to nail in the camp, not that he was poor and particular, but that they had too many materials, sketches and other things, and the camp tent was not big, if they didn't clean it up, they would be full of these things.

In the corner of the tent, there are three boxes lined up, which are full of data from the observation of the Yellow River and various materials on the management of the Yellow River over the years.

Fu Tinghan pinched his waist and stood in front of the table for a long time, and asked Fu An: "Did the fifth battalion send someone to send today's temperature over?" ”

Fu An: "No. ”

Fu Tinghan was silent.

Fu An persuaded: "Lang Jun, today is the New Year, it's better to rest for half a day, let's have a good New Year first." ”

Fu Tinghan: "Aren't I waiting for the New Year now?" You send people to see how the camps are prepared, and Shen Shi begins to have lunch, so that they are not too late. ”

After eating, it is not dark yet, everyone can talk, sing, dance and the like, and play around the bonfire at night, and the symbolic New Year's Day can be dispersed.

Fu An saw that he didn't feel bored at all, so he couldn't help but shake his head and went to inspect and supervise.

Not long after Fu An left, a soldier immediately came over and said, "Yu Shangshu, the temperature of the fifth battalion has been delivered." ”

Fu Tinghan immediately took the paper of the record and opened it, and when he saw the temperature, he couldn't help frowning, the temperature in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River this year was too high, so that the Yellow River only had light and thin ice floes until now.

It's a good thing for them to clean up the blocked river now, but ......

Compared with the temperature of previous years, I always feel a little uneasy.

Is it a sign that there will be continuous heavy rains next year?

The weather is starting to be unusual from now on.

Finally, I wish Mo Yan a happy birthday, see you tomorrow
