On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, there is still no thirty this day this year.

The red lanterns were hoisted, the good charcoal given by the palace was burning, and the tables in the big pot of rice were full of food.

The chief took a group of people to the ancestral hall, and as last year, they knelt there and wept, telling the ancestors about the current life in the village.

Just listening to the crying and wiping of tears, people who don't know the situation still think that he complained to his ancestors!

"Ancestors, it's not easy for me to be the lieutenant chief, a large group of people have to take care of it, a lot of livestock to take care of, and there are more than 600 big animals in the village!

This year, the village has planted 20,000 acres of wheat, and next year it will have to be harvested. The village is too rich now to dare to sell anything.

Eat meat every day, and eat all the meat...... Belch! It smells so good! Next year the house will be built, and the house will be two-storey.

The village has its own pharmacy, and there is no shortage of medicine in our village.

The dolls worked hard to study, and the rest of the village followed suit, learning literacy, arithmetic, ......"

When the villagers heard this, they were obviously happy, but their noses were sour, and they wiped their tears.

Recalling the hard work after last autumn's harvest, the joy of harvesting rapeseed and ramie this year, the money earned is piled up in the treasury, and it is impossible to use it up.

As soon as 20,000 mu of wheat is harvested next year, the grain will have to be sold, otherwise it will be troublesome to preserve.

After the chief cried, Zhu Wentian went up to kowtow to incense, and the other villagers followed.

After some tossing, the chief gave an order, and everyone began to eat and drink.

Zhu Wentian drank wine today, and drank it for the first time after coming to Daming, rice wine, and other friends drank wine.

There is a copper hot pot on a table, the kind with a chimney, which is different from the silver hot pot of the Ming Dynasty and more like the hot pot of the Qing Dynasty.

The kind that is used in the east is once owned by every family in the northeast, but later it is troublesome to burn charcoal and is easy to be poisoned, so it is not used much.

In the village, copper coins are melted and minted by themselves, and bad copper coins are thrown into glass-burning kilns.

Glass can be burned, it is too easy to melt copper, generally copper coins contain a certain proportion of tin, this tin does not matter, I am afraid that it contains lead.

When the tin is brought out, dilute hydrochloric acid is used to react, and at this time, the lead sinks, the copper floats, and copper can be obtained.

So Xiaqiu Village has a relatively clean copper hot pot for use, and the villagers are no longer surprised after operating according to Hanhan's guidance.

Mutton is indispensable for eating hot pot, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang eats wind sheep hot pot, and the village eats fresh.

Without greenhouses, there are no greens, all dried vegetables, sauerkraut, dried seafood, tofu, chicken, and pork.

There is no beef, how can you bear to kill it if you raise it well, even if you kill cattle with the current status of the village, no one will be held accountable.

"The people in the palace eat about the same as us, right?" The chief helps Han Han to make slices of meat, and he doesn't care whether the chopsticks are hygienic or not.

"Eat, hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian didn't care if he didn't use chopsticks, so he didn't prepare extra chopsticks at all.

He grew up eating 100 family meals in the village and lived well.

The palace naturally sent copper hot pot, as well as sheep, chickens, and thousands of pieces raised in the village.

There are words on the thousands: the children and grandchildren are full, and there are magpies falling their eyebrows.

"Brother Hanhan, drink!" The little girl brought her wine.

"Drink!" Zhu Wentian followed and drank together, and after drinking, the two of them drank at the same time: "Hey, hey, hey!" ”

The little girl happily ran back and lowered her head to eat.

Zhu Wentian looked at the other friends, after the New Year, there were two friends who were sixteen years old.

At the beginning, when someone in the family became a child, the villagers were happy and sad, they were able to work in their teens, and they also worked at the age of sixteen, and they had to pay the land and serve in labor.

Now I'm not afraid, it doesn't matter whether I am a Ding or not, I should pay all the money, and I can take the top of the food for work and rest, and I don't have to do too heavy work and study.

Not to mention preparing a bride price, and then considering getting married when you grow up, some of them have to be picked by girls, talented and wealthy, and you are afraid that you can't find a daughter-in-law?

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was originally going to say goodbye was stopped, and after twenty years, there was no such thing as an old girl, and there were countless people who wanted to marry.

When someone's daughter is older, the adults begin to worry about recruiting a son-in-law, for fear that the girl will be bullied outside.

Find a son-in-law who comes to the door, and his good character is the first, build a two-story house, and give the other party's family a lot of money.

If you give birth to two male babies, you can allow one to have the same surname as the man, but not the female baby, for fear that the other party will prefer sons over daughters.

Eat a meal until almost midnight, don't look at the many dishes, the people in the village have a large amount of food, and they are almost eaten, and the ones that are easy to save are left and eaten tomorrow.

'Crackling' began to burn firecrackers and threw large grains of salt on them.

In addition, there are fireworks sent from the palace, and in the crackling sound, they can also fly into the sky and explode, but the color is not very good, and the explosion is not beautiful.

"It's good to know His Royal Highness the Prince! Firecrackers and fireworks were delivered. ”

The elder shouted loudly, shouting out the excitement and emotion in his heart.

"Ming, have, self, do, hehe, cough ......"

Zhu Wentian shouted loudly, hey, hey, coughed, this word doesn't seem to be suitable for loud sounds.

"Can the village do it itself next year? Hanhan, will you? The lieutenant understood.

"Hmmm! Ahem, ahem! Zhu Wentian nodded, isn't it fireworks and firecrackers?

This year, the palace gave it away, and I felt troublesome, so I didn't get it, it was dangerous.

But the fireworks in the palace are not good-looking, and next year, oh, it's already this year, and they will make their own various colors.

"Good! We are the best! Hey, hey, hey! cough cough cough cough ...... "The chief helped Hey come out and coughed too."

……

On the first day of the first lunar month, adults and children all sleep at home, too sleepy.

However, the daughter-in-law and family who married into Xiaqiu Village prepared things, and the village keeper explained that he should go back to his parents' house the day after tomorrow to pay a New Year's greeting.

There is no such custom at the moment, and it is okay to be close to each other, especially in the same village.

It takes many days to go back to my parents' house on a long road, and open the way.

There is no problem in the villages near Xiaqiu Village, there are big animals pulling carts, and they are driving back to deliver things to their parents' families.

The in-laws of the village are the most concerned, and let the in-laws see if their daughters are doing well in the village, and they don't care how much the gifts they send are worth.

Fang Lan's mother-in-law worried again, the boy of the in-laws should be a child this year, but he can't go out to serve and die outside, and his daughter-in-law will be sad when she gets the news.

If the in-laws are unreasonable, then don't care, or even cut off contact.

If you have a good family, you naturally have to help out, send more things, and give food when you need to serve.

Fang Lan watched her mother-in-law packing there, and she failed to stop it several times, giving too much.

The copper coins alone cost 3,000 wen, plus bacon, sausages, rapeseed oil, soybeans, dried seafood, sugar, refined salt made by the village itself, and glassware.

"Ran! I didn't want to send the grain, so this year my in-laws collected rapeseed oil and ramie, and then brought them with them when they used livestock.

I bought a sheep with milk from the chief and sent it to him, and drank goat's milk every day, and this sheep could also help carry something. Zhu Cheng's mother took her daughter-in-law's hand and said.
