In the real history of the original plane, among the four traditional holidays of the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival was established the latest. The Mid-Autumn Festival has been upgraded from a traditional festival to an officially recognized legal holiday, and it will not be until the early Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were activities such as "welcoming the cold at night" and "offering good fur" led by the government. However, there will be no holiday on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The fact that the imperial authorities do not have holidays does not mean that officials cannot find a way to celebrate the festival.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, an ancient banquet is set up in the drunken immortal residence, and the old people over 70 years old in the county are invited to feed the elk porridge, and the old man who has reached the age of 70 this year will be awarded the king's scepter?"

On August 9, Ou Xing, who had just rushed to Zuixianju from Ou's house and was about to go to work at the county office after a night's rest, thought he had heard it wrong.

"In the county seat, or in the county, are you sure to entertain the old people in the county?"

"Yu Shaojun, there is no mistake." Ou Changshou, the manager of Zuixianju, handed over a bamboo slip and a silk book, "The bamboo slip is an official document sent by the county government, and the silk book is an invitation letter from the book to the old man." ”

Ou Xing took the paperwork, squinted his eyes and examined it carefully, but it was still incomprehensible.

"From the townships to the county seat, the distance is not close, such as the district Jiachong, even a hundred miles away. The car is tired, the road is bumpy, aren't you afraid to toss the old people out of a good way? ”

"That~" Ou Changshou scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

"After I see Dong Gong tomorrow, let's make plans in the store."

"Yui."

"Prepare a little bit of seasonal appetizers, and in the evening, I will invite Wei Lang to have wine."

"Yui."

......

On August 10, Ou Xing went to work at the county office. During the lunch break, he went to visit Dong Ping, the shadow county magistrate and county chief bookkeeper.

Thanks to the love of Tianjun Jun and Dong Gong, the important official banquet was held in Zuixianju, and the boss of Zuixianju was grateful. Sincerely frightened, he specially asked Ou Xing to thank Tianjunjun and Dong Gong. He also entrusted Ou Xing to present a copy of Jinban braised lake shrimp to Tian Junjun, a copy of Qingshui Biao pearl to Dong Gong, and a secret recipe (share transfer agreement).

The gourmand Dong Ping is very happy.

"Gold, the laity regard him as money. Vulgar, true and vulgar. Who knew it was a great food? The owner of the Drunken Immortal House is worthy of being a famous gourmet, haha. ”

Dong Ping's pen was like a rafter, brushing and writing on the bamboo slips, and handed it to Ou Xing after tripling the original budget for the Mid-Autumn Festival ancient feast. Let him go to the small mansion to withdraw the expenses first, and he must make the ancient banquet beautiful, for the face of the Ming court and the county magistrate.

"The king's scepter, than the festival. The Son of Heaven gave the old man the king's scepter, firstly, to respect the elderly, and secondly, to hope that the old man would hold the king's rod and educate the younger generations on behalf of the Son of Heaven. If you are old and weak, how can you take on the responsibility of edification, and how can you take the festival of the Son of Heaven? ”

The dove cane is not issued casually. Whether you can come to the county seat for a banquet or drink is the screening and assessment of the qualification of holding a cane. Regarding Ou Xing's concerns, Dong Ping explained.

......

"The king's scepter, than the festival. The one who bears the rod is equal to six hundred stones. Dong Gong was unwilling to give his name indiscriminately# device, so he made this loss ~ trick. Ou Xing explained to Ou Changshou, "Dong Gong has made up his mind, and Drunken Xianju is ready to undertake it." ”

"Yui." Ou Changshou leaned over to answer the order.

"The staple food is porridge, and the dishes are mainly various colors of millet and soup. Deboning the meat and removing the bones of the fish. Melons, fruits, and moon cakes must be cut into small pieces...... I haven't written them down. ”

"Yu Shaojun, I remember everything."

"Pen and paper for you," Ou Xing stood up and left his seat, "repeating and copying it down." ”

"Yui." Ou Changshou sat next to the table, "The staple food is porridge, and the dishes are mainly various colors of millet and soup." Meat deboning, fish deboning, fish deboning......"

"You are personally responsible for this matter. It is important to pay attention to it, and it must be emphasized repeatedly to the cooks. If an old man is choked to death at the banquet, I'm afraid our drunken immortal residence won't have to be opened again. ”

"Yui." Ou Changshou put away the pen and paper, got up and left the table, "Changshou knows that it is powerful. ”

"Uncle Changshou, your burden is very heavy." Ou Xing gently patted Ou Changshou's shoulder, "The ancient banquet is well organized, and the advertising benefits brought to the Drunken Immortal Residence are needless to say." If you do it badly, your reputation will be greatly damaged. ”

"Shaojun, longevity will not disgrace you, and Drunken Immortal Ju will not disgrace you." Ou Changshou patted his chest and solemnly assured Ou Xing.

......

"Wei Lang, there is an urgent matter, I need to ask you and all the young heroes."

"Ou Jun, please speak."

What Ou Xing asked the young heroes of Yiyang to do was to go to the surrounding counties of Yiyang, Linxiang, and Hanchang, and invite local famous doctors to Zuixianju to do a good job of medical security for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Before crossing, Ou Xing was also a traditional Chinese medicine black who haunted forums such as a certain bar and a certain hu. However, when it came to this era, he had to seek the help of these witch doctors and sorcerers whom he had despised in the past.

More or less, it can give the elderly a little psychological comfort. Ou Xing comforted himself in his heart.

Early the next morning, Wei Yan led the team to set off.

"Wei Lang, please." Before leaving, Ou Xing took the reins of the horse and instructed, "Remember to invite people in the name of the Luo County Ya, not in the name of the Ou family." ”

With the notoriety of the district family, I'm afraid please don't move. Ou Xing thought to himself.

"Yan understands," Wei Yan gave up his hand, "Don't worry, Yan Ding will live up to his trust and invite all the local good workers." ”

"Driving~" Wei Yan set off on horseback, followed by a group of young heroes.

"All these swollen people, their way is in one, knowing that they are against the odds, and the number of needles is not lost. Purifying the void and making up for the real, God goes to his room, causing evil and unrighteousness, which is really uncertain, and the coarse is defeated, which is called premature death. To make up for the void and purify the solid, God returns to his room, and it is empty for a long time, which is called a good work...... The parts of the five internal organs and six limbs also have their own parts. With yin and yang, with yang and yin, when the bright part, ten thousand moves, can not be left and right, is called the avenue, men and women are in the same place, so it is called yin and yang, and it is called a good work. - "The Corpse"
