Chapter 10 Official Holidays
The remaining days were much easier, touching the fish to work, and the Huimin Pharmacy and the winery were on the right track. It's just that there are too many orders for alcohol, and the three of them have to work overtime every day.
It's useless to be in a hurry, there is no suitable candidate to add it, and Zheng Xiong does not plan to expand the staff. Maybe there will be a commercial spy among the people recruited.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Xiong made more than a dozen tables. Most of the food is steamed, and the meat is mainly beef and mutton, chicken and duck. Green vegetables are a luxury in this cold winter wax moon. They all have to be specially preserved, and they don't have enough to eat, let alone sell. There are only a few shelf-stable ones that are deliberately saved for sale in the winter. The price is still very expensive, and even if you have money to eat in other winters, you can't buy it.
It's not hearty, and there is no river fresh, except for a small number of several kinds of fish. Hungry people don't want to eat, it's just too fishy. You also eat oil and salt, and all kinds of seasonings can be fishy to become delicious. In this ancient period, when materials were extremely scarce, some people could not afford to eat oil and salt.
Seafood does not have these problems, simple steaming is delicious, but also eat oil and salt, but the biggest problem is transportation, the road is not half of the stink.
Zheng Xiong also understands the situation, and he deliberately went to the restaurant to ask when he had nothing to do in the past two days.
I didn't care for a while.
However, when I came back, I couldn't help but think of the various delicacies of the later generations.
I haven't paid attention to it for so long, I should be used to it in this life, and my body's instinct doesn't feel monotonous. Zheng Xiong was also busy, so he didn't feel tired.
This time I bought these banquets, which can be regarded as awakening the essence of foodies, I have money and leisure, and I really don't know what to do except eat, but now is not the time to think about this.
Even so, everyone present was very addicted to eating, and some of the low-alcohol wine in the winery was also taken out.
Everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, ate meat, and drank wine. Some people even cried while eating, thinking about the days of hunger and fullness over the years, and the best estimate of eating in this life is this one.
Wine can make people express their true emotions in their hearts, and with gratitude, they frequently toast to Zheng Xiong.
There are too many people, and there is a second glass after this drink, and the low-alcohol wine can't stand it. Besides, Zheng Xiong's alcohol consumption is not good, and within a few rounds, he slipped to the bottom of the table.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong was poured down, several people at this table hurriedly helped Zheng Xiong to the bed in the side hall. I had money, and considering the particularity of the night shift, I deliberately bought two beds. So that everyone can take turns to rest, but few people use it, basically Zheng Xiong's exclusive.
After settling Zheng Xiong, several people hurried back to the wine table, good wine and good food, if you don't eat it, you will lose.
Without Zheng Xiong, everyone is even more open.
chatted and chatted, and talked about Zheng Xiong.
"Lord Tiling is really a good person, it's good for people like us to eat and drink. Since I met the lady and paid my salary, not only has the family eaten and drunk enough, but with the reward, I can also get new clothes for those boys in our family. ”
"It's the same for me, I haven't eaten such a meal since I was a child. It's really good for us that Lord Tiling can get us this table of banquets. When those officials saw us, which one of them didn't have their nostrils facing the sky, fortunately, they worked hard for a day, and they had to peel a layer of skin off us. The Lord didn't say it, let's admire it from the bottom of our hearts. In the future, we will only mention the head of the horse. If this intention is violated, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky."
On the alcohol, the more the man spoke, the more excited he became, and he directly launched an oath. In this age of belief in the presence of gods, the oath is arguably the most powerful statement.
"That's right, we just have this one life, and we will sell it to the adults in this life. Whoever has trouble with Lord Tirasa will step over me. ”
A group of people are also on the top of alcohol, and they have expressed their allegiance. Unconsciously was brought a wave of rhythm, even if he knew what he could do if he was brought to the rhythm, isn't it his true thoughts?
I slept until late in the evening and rubbed my sore head. After a while, I remembered that I was afraid that I had drunk a fragment, which was really a shame for the traverser, and at the level of the traverser's per capita Dionysus, he was really a younger brother.
When you get up and go home, the bed at home is the warmest and most comfortable, and other people's beds are always a little uncomfortable.
Approached the main courtyard and explained the New Year's arrangements.
The few people on duty were a little more respectful than ever.
Prestige is something that can't be seen, but it's reflected in every way.
A little confused, just had a meal, as for it.
I didn't know that I had a group of loyal younger brothers, and the man with rhythm didn't even know the name.
The next day, I woke up early, and I didn't dare to eat food or drink water. A big court meeting is coming, and it can really suffocate urine. The little eight-rank official, he didn't dare to say anything. From the outer city to the inner city.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the ministers came to wait outside the noon gate. The noon gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, the middle of the main gate is the royal road, usually does not open the door, about two ques are for the flag school guarded by the generals and guards on duty. And the left and right two leaf doors each open one, called the left leaf door, the right leaf door, this is the door to enter the court.
The noon gate tower is called "Five Peaks", and bells and drums are set up, and the bells and drums are in charge of the eunuchs.
The next thing is to wait, and the six high-level departments in the three provinces have special rooms. This little official could only tremble with everyone in the small room.
In order to make it easier for officials to wait for "waiting to be leaked", the imperial court built a number of rooms in the imperial city, and the officials would sit according to their rank and wait for the palace door to open.
Around 5 a.m., officials began to enter the palace. Civilian officers enter from the left "gentlemen", and officers enter from the right "gentlemen". First of all, on the south side of Jinshui Bridge, sort by grade.
After the whipping, one by one, they crossed the bridge and came to the Red Palace in Fengtianmen, where the civil servants were of the left class and the officers were of the right class. During this time, the Kingsguard is on guard, and anyone coughing, spitting, crowded, or disorganized will be recorded for treatment.
In the center of the throne in the corridor of Tianmen, it is known as the "golden platform". To the left and right of the stairs are the bands of drums and bells, and the temple is decorated with "great generals" who are fully armed, while officials and civil and military officials on the road to the front of the palace stand with swords and military flags in their hands. When Lao Zhu arrived at the imperial gate, he was led by the sound of bells and drums to make the throne in front of the palace.
Let two people be inside, one holding an umbrella and standing on the seat, and the other holding the "five cups", two miscellaneous fans, standing in the middle behind the seat.
Then Honglu Temple "sings" into the class, the left and right civil and military two classes go together and progress into the royal road, at this time the civil official "north to the west", the military attache "north to the east", the bow and three bows, is for the "big class". The princes, horses, and uncles formed a class (Xunqi class), and they were in front of the military attache class and left slightly.
It's nothing, it's just to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, and when the emperor is happy, he will leave you for a meal.
Lao Zhu was in a good mood today, and he had a meal with everyone. It's not delicious.
But everyone came hungry, and they all enjoyed eating.
The ordinary New Year's greeting process is similar, and the New Year's greeting goes home.
It's not bad, it's only two or three times a year, and the first time I came to see it was a surprise. Hu Weiyong fell, after the big brawl, it was terrible to go to court every day. Don't dare to think, don't dare to think.
When I go home in the afternoon, the New Year's Day is when the family gets together for dinner, and it is warm in the plain.
Many years later, looking back, things are not people. Today's dullness is not the most nostalgic time in the future.
Parents in the previous life, are you all right? My son misses you.
