On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve, there is still no thirty day this year.
Red lanterns were hung up, the good charcoal provided by the palace was burning, and the tables in the big pot of rice were filled with food.
The village leader took a group of people to the sacrificial hall. Just like last year, they knelt there and cried, telling the ancestors about the current life in the village.
Just by hearing the crying and wiping away tears, people who didn’t know the situation thought he was complaining to his ancestors
“Ancestors, I am too much of a village leader. It’s not easy. There are a lot of people to take care of and a lot of livestock to take care of. There are more than 600 livestock in the village.
This year the village has planted 20,000 acres of wheat, and next year it will have to be harvested again. I'm so rich that I don't even dare to take out food.
I eat meat every day, and it tastes so delicious. Next year I will build a two-story house.
The village has its own pharmacy, and the village has no shortage of medicines from the Imperial Hospital.
The children study hard, and the rest of the village follows them to learn literacy and arithmetic."
The villagers listened. Although I was obviously happy, my nose felt sore and I started to wipe my tears.
Recalling the hard work after last year’s autumn harvest and the joy of harvesting rapeseed and ramie this year, the money earned is piled in the bank and cannot be used up.
As soon as 20,000 acres of wheat are harvested next year, the grain will have to be sold out, otherwise it will be troublesome to store it.
After the village chief finished crying, Zhu Wentian went up to kowtow incense, and the other villagers followed.
After a lot of fussing, the chief gave an order and everyone started eating and drinking.
Zhu Wentian drank rice wine today for the first time since coming to Daming. The other friends drank rice wine.
There is a copper hot pot on a table, the kind with a chimney. It is different from the silver hot pot in the Ming Dynasty, and more like the hot pot in the Qing Dynasty.
The kind used by Donglaishun was once available in every household in the Northeast region. Later, it was found to be troublesome and easy to poison when burning charcoal, so it was not used much anymore.
The village melts copper coins and casts them themselves. Bad copper coins are thrown into the glass kiln.
Glass can be burned. It is too easy to melt copper. Generally, copper coins contain a certain proportion of tin. The tin does not matter. I am afraid it contains lead.
When the tin is taken out, use dilute hydrochloric acid to react. At this time, the lead sinks and the copper floats, and red copper can be obtained.
As a result, Xiaqiu Village has a relatively clean copper hot pot. After the villagers followed Hanhan’s instructions, they were no longer surprised.
Mutton is indispensable for eating hot pot. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang ate wind sheep hot pot, and the fresh ones are eaten in the village.
Without greenhouses, there would be no vegetables, only dried vegetables, sauerkraut, dried seafood, tofu, chicken, and pork.
If there is no beef, how can I bear to kill a well-raised cow? Even with the current status of the village, no one will be held accountable for killing cattle.
"The food of the people in the palace is similar to that of us." The head of the house helped Hanhan to cook pieces of meat, regardless of whether the chopsticks were hygienic or not.
"Eat, hey hey hey" Zhu WentianIt didn't matter that the chef didn't use public chopsticks, so he didn't prepare any extra chopsticks.
He grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village and lived a good life.
The palace naturally sent copper hot pots, as well as sheep, chickens and Qianzhang raised in the village.
There are words written on thousands of sheets. The hall is full of descendants, and magpies have lowered their brows.
"Brother Hanhan, drink." The little girl brought her wine.
"Drink" Zhu Wentian picked it up and drank together. After drinking, the two of them said "hey hey hey" at the same time
The little girl ran back happily, lowered her head and ate hard.
Zhu Wentian looked at his other friends. After the New Year, two of his friends became adults, and they were sixteen years old.
When someone in the family grew up, the villagers were happy and sad. They were able to work when they were teenagers, but they could still work when they were sixteen and had to pay land tax and perform labor service.
Now I’m not afraid. It doesn’t matter whether I’m mature or not. I’ll pay everything I need to pay, and I’ll pay for my work and rest. I don’t need to do too heavy physical work or study.
Don't worry about preparing betrothal gifts. When you are older, you will consider getting married. A girl will choose a girl who is talented and wealthy, but you are afraid of not being able to find a wife
Originally, A girl of 17 or 18 years old who is planning to get married should stop and wait until she is twenty. There is no such thing as an old girl. There are countless people who want to marry.
Someone’s daughter has grown up, and the adults have begun to worry about recruiting a son-in-law, fearing that the daughter will be bullied outside.
Find a son-in-law who comes to your door. His good character is the first priority. He will build a two-story house and give his family a lot of money.
If you give birth to two boys, you can allow one to have the same surname as the boy, but not girls, for fear that the other party will favor boys over girls.
The meal lasted until almost midnight. Regardless of the large number of dishes, people in the village had big appetites, so they almost ate it, so I kept what was easy to preserve and will eat it tomorrow.
Start to burn firecrackers and throw large grains of salt on them.
In addition, there are fireworks sent from the palace, which can fly into the sky and explode with a crackling sound, but the color is not very good, and the flowers are not beautiful when they explode.
"It's better to get to know His Highness the Prince. I'll send you firecrackers and fireworks."
The mayor shouted loudly, shouting out his inner excitement and emotion.
"Ming, you, Ji, do, hey, hey, cough, cough, cough"
Zhu Wentian said loudly, "Hey, hey, okay, cough." This word does not seem to be suitable for speaking loudly.
"Next year the village will be able to make its own Hanhan, you know how?" the village chief understood.
"Hmm, cough, cough, cough" Zhu Wentian nodded, isn't it just fireworks and firecrackers.
The palace gave it to me as a gift this year, but I thought it would be troublesome, so I didn’t go get it. It would be dangerous.
But the fireworks in the palace don’t look good. Next year, oh, it’s already this year, I will make them in various colors.
"Okay, our Hanhan is the best, hey, hey, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
On the first day of the first lunar month, adults and children were all sleeping at home. They were too sleepy.
On the contrary, the daughter-in-law who was married to Xiaqiu Village prepared things with her family. The village guard explained that she should return to her mother-in-law the day after tomorrow.Happy New Year to my family.
There is no such custom at the moment, but it’s okay if the distance is close, especially in the same village.
It takes many days to walk back to my parents’ home, and I have to find a way to lead it.
There is no problem in the villages near Xiaqiu Village. There are big animals pulling carts, and they drive back to deliver things to their parents’ families.
The husband-in-law family in the village is the most caring. They let the in-laws see if their daughter is doing well in the village, and they don't care how much the gift is worth.
Fang Lan's mother-in-law was worried again. Her in-laws' boy was going to be a man this year, but he couldn't go out to serve. If he died outside, her daughter-in-law would be sad when she got the news.
If the in-laws are unreasonable, then leave them alone or even cut off contact with them.
The relatives are kind-hearted, so naturally they have to help out, give more things, and provide food when they need to serve.
Fang Lan watched her mother-in-law packing, trying to stop her several times without success. She gave too much.
There are three thousand copper coins alone, plus bacon, sausages, rapeseed oil, soybeans, dried seafood, sugar, refined salt made by the village itself, and glassware.
"Lan'a didn't want to give away food. This year, my parents-in-law harvested rapeseed oil and ramie, and brought them with them when they use the animals.
I bought one with the village chief. Give the sheep that only have milk and drink the goat's milk every day, and the sheep can also help carry some food," Zhu Cheng's mother said, holding her daughter-in-law's hand.
