Husband and wife are hot on the kang

As soon as Laba arrives, all kinds of sticky bean buns and sticky rice are on the table.

I have to stick my chin all day long, and Hou Fu also made a big pot of sticky rice and heated up a lot of sticky bean buns.

And I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect in Laba this day. The weather is very cold. When I got up in the morning, Shi Hongda went out for a walk. After the event started, he returned to the room and took over Yu Liangji’s breakfast. Went out: "It's very cold outside, don't go out."

"I'll go to the greenhouse to have a look." Yu Liangji really wanted to go out, especially the No. [-] experimental greenhouse, where there were many good things he had grown.

Prepare to give it to the emperor during the Chinese New Year!

Ever since he gave a gift last year and received many rewards, Yu Liangji has figured out a new way to make money, give gifts to the emperor, and then receive his rewards!

Absolutely a lucrative deal!

"One day, don't go, those things won't die if you don't look at them for a day." Shi Hongda grabbed people and refused to let them go, and dragged his feet on the kang.

"What are you talking about!" Yu Liangji saw Shi Hongda cheating for the first time, so he just followed him, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't go.

The two of them stayed on the kang and had nothing to do, you played with your fingers and he played with his hair, and they were decadent all morning, until Yu Xinghuai came to ask them to go to Zhang Gui's second uncle's house to eat pig-killing rice together, and the two separated.

However, Shi Hongda asked his nephew and uncle to wear thick and thick clothes, hats, scarves, gloves, and even masks before letting them go out.

"You, Uncle Shi, are afraid that we will be frozen!" Yu Liangji walked on the road covered heavily, chatting with Yu Xinghuai.

"It's really cold outside. When I went out in the morning, my aunt and mother found me a cloak to wear, and made me wear lambskin boots. They said it was very cold outside, but this one is warm." Xiao Xinghuai told them Showed off his weapons.

Early in the morning, he was surrounded and taken care of for a long time, for fear that he would be as cold as him.

If it wasn't for him not being able to walk with the quilt on, the aunts and aunts probably wished that he could walk with the quilt on, preferably one that could carry the kang.

"Well, aunts and aunts are good." Yu Liangji was always afraid that someone would treat Xiao Xing badly when he was not paying attention.

So he pays close attention to the child, asking questions every day, and occasionally passing by quietly, because he thinks this way, he can see how many people are happy with Xiao!

What if they did something to the child behind his back?

Occasionally appearing suddenly from time to time, it is the most real to see.

When we arrived at the Zhang family for dinner, we naturally had to look at the baby of the Zhang family first. The baby was more than two years old and it was time for fun. Of course, if we were to cry, he could really cry.

He cried twice. Shi Hongda really stayed away from such a weak creature!

Yu Liangji couldn't help laughing!

"Hug him!" On the contrary, Yu Liangji was able to play with him.

"I won't hug!" Shi Hongda took a step back, never touching the little guy.

The little guy might not be interested in Shi Hongda either, and he played very well on his own.

Now Zhang Gui has a grandson who is full of things, and his two daughters are also married in Shibalipu, especially the second daughter, who can be seen almost when he goes out.

Our small tomatoes and milk strawberries sold well this year, and we made a lot of money. We became rich, and even slaughtered pigs generously, killing two big fat pigs in one go.

Now there is no shortage of meat in Shibalipu.

"I want to tell everyone the good news that my little girl is born!" The second aunt of the Zhang family came over happily and announced the good news.

For a while, congratulations were heard endlessly.

Because pigs are slaughtered in Laba, the staple food of the Zhang family is sticky bean buns, sticky rice and fried rice cakes.

"I know you like to eat light food, so I didn't add too much oil." A plate of sticky rice with white sugar was specially prepared by Zhang's second aunt for Yu Liangji.

"Well, the sticky rice from Second Aunt's is still delicious!" Yu Liangji took a bite with his chopsticks. The bean flavor was rich and the viscosity was delicious.

Shi Hongda disassembled his bones and meat, all of which were lean meat, dipped them in garlic sauce and fed them to Yu Liangji and Xiao Xinghuai.

"Master Hou, what do you think we are going to do next year?" The old village head was at the same table with Yu Liangji, and by the way, what should we do next year?

I made a lot of money this year, so I should think about next year.

"Let's grow food next year. Corn and sorghum are fine." Yu Liangji said, "You can't grow left and right potatoes."

Potatoes cannot be cropped continuously, as everyone on the earth knows.

If it is continuous production, Yu Liangji has a solution.

It's a pity that in this semi-manual era, even if there is a way, it is a waste of time and money, and it is not appropriate.

"Then let's grow some food. Our milk strawberries and cherry tomatoes are also sold for a lot of money." The old village chief felt relieved, because he felt that it would be enough to grow potatoes for one year, and most of their food this year would be Bought it outside.

To put it bluntly, I still think of small farmers, thinking that food is the most important thing, and I feel panic when there is no food!

"My family grows corn."

"I want to grow some sorghum."

"I think millet is better."

Everyone chattered and started discussing what they would plant next year. There were all kinds of people. Yu Liangji took the opportunity to say: "After everyone pays the tax, if my family wants to buy food, I have to give priority to it!"

Usually they are sold to grain stations or grain stores, but Yu Liangji doesn't want to go to the grain store to buy them, it would be several cents more expensive!

This is Liu Wenxi who has been moaning in front of him a lot, and he remembers it all.

"Of course, of course!" Everyone agreed. Of course it would be good to sell it to the Hou's Mansion. The Hou's Mansion will come and take away the grain by itself, and the price it will give is the same as that of the grain store.

Of course everyone is happy to sell it to Houfu!

I had a happy meal and established my political goals for next year.

After Laba, it's time to start preparing for the New Year. The Hou Mansion has its own butler to worry about, and what Yu Liangji has to worry about is the tribute to Beijing.

"What are you going to send over there?" Steward He asked Hou Ye curiously, as if he didn't see him planting anything this year.

And he didn't ask him to think of a way. In fact, Steward He had already thought about the tribute, so he was waiting for the master to ask him.

"It's been planted, it's all done." Yu Liangji was triumphant.

As early as a long time ago, he had already taken care of the tribute. It should be sooner rather than later, and it is much better if it is carefully taken care of.

"Huh?" Butler He was puzzled.

Shi Hongda thought for a while: "It has already been planted."

It was almost time, and Yu Liangji took the carriage that his family was going to deliver the tribute to, and entered the No. [-] experimental shed. Steward He finally saw the tribute they had prepared!

Two black plum trees!

"This?" Butler He was dumbfounded.

Yu Liangji felt as if the scene from last year had happened again, because Shi Hongda was also staring at the thing on the plum tree in a daze. He didn't expect that he made this thing with his own hands!

"Why are you in a daze?" Yu Liangji was triumphant.

"Is this the tribute you got?" Shi Hongda pointed at the plum tree, dumbfounded.

In terms of innovation, it is true innovation!

To say novelty, it is really novelty!

But to say it's cheap, it's really cheap!

"Of course!" Yu Liangji was proud.

After the carriage was loaded, they went on the road with the tributes from the northeast, and those people were sent from last year, but this time Yu Liangji did not bring anything to Eunuch Liu. Last year was already very eye-catching. Eunuch Liu brought back the words , can only be known behind his back, if people know that he is a servant, this is something that will make the emperor taboo.

There are not many things, the main thing is not to let the plum tree freeze, the plum tree is full of fruits, and even the car is a specially made high-roof car with a glass wall that does not hinder the sunlight, and has a micro-heating system.

To prevent the plum tree from freezing during transportation, especially the car should not go too fast, as it will shake off the fruit on it, so you can’t walk in a hurry, you can only walk slowly, and you should start early at this time a lot of.

Butler He looked at the plum tree, especially the plums on top, with complicated eyes.

The cost of this car is very high, because it has a high lift and a miniature heat preservation system, which is expensive. Shi Hongda decided to use this car to transport tributes in the future!

Yu Liangji only cares about the things he grows, and the car is only to ensure that his works can be transported to the capital.

After the tribute was gone, preparations for the New Year began.

When I was young, the housekeeper prepared gifts from each family, and similarly, gifts from each family were delivered one after another. The governor, the county magistrate, the general’s mansion, and the general’s mansion also came to pick up two gifts. An old man and two grandsons went home for the New Year.

Shi Hongda followed, gave a bunch of gifts, and came back with a cart full of apples.

Yu Liangji, who stayed at home, also received a lot of gifts, gifts from two classmates, and an annual gift from Uncle Zhang himself.

After the New Year's Eve, he didn't go out very much. Everyone was preparing for the New Year at home. Yu Liangji was concerned about his greenhouse, and let the housekeeper worry about everything else.

Shi Hongda received several letters from his comrades, and he also wrote a reply to them, and found the post office to post the New Year's gift. Although it won't arrive before the year, it will definitely arrive in the first month of the year.

Soon the new year came, and everything went on as usual, offering sacrifices to ancestors, burning paper, sending lanterns, setting off firecrackers, and watching fireworks.

"It's been another year!" Looking at the fireworks outside, and the sound of crackling firecrackers resounding all over the world, Yu Liangji raised his head and snuggled into Shi Hongda's arms.

"Yes!" Shi Hongda touched his hand, um, holding the stove in his hand and carrying a muff, it didn't get cold, not bad.

I'm already used to this, pay attention to keeping warm in winter, and don't let him be greedy for cold in summer.

After so many years of raising them, Yu Liangji has never been sick, Yu Baobao is also very good, Shi Hongda is in good health, he is not worried about himself.

"The days go by so fast." Yu Liangji watched the fireworks disappear into the night sky: "I remember that in the first Chinese New Year, we didn't have any firecrackers or fireworks."

At that time, I kept my filial piety and had nothing, not even meat, and I ate vegetarian food!

And there were no vegetable greenhouses at that time, and even the fresh vegetables were green leafy vegetables such as leeks grown in his incubator.

"Well, I followed everyone to the spring banquet, and Yang Da took me there!" Shi Hongda also remembered that time.

At that time, he had nothing to do. After leaving the special camp, he felt that his life suddenly had no purpose, and he was very disappointed when he returned home. His father was not his father, and his home was not his home.

Until he arrived at Yu's house.

At the beginning, he was just greedy for the warmth that was less than Juren, but later he was reluctant to leave. Yu Liangji's conditions were very good, and it was easy to find a woman to marry.

But he used his own unique way to occupy his heart, hehe!

"Master Hou, my lord, young master, come in!" Steward He called them in, it was very cold outside.

"Well, let's go into the house!" Shi Hongda held Yu Liangji with one hand and greeted Xiao Xinghuai with the other.

Xiao Xinghuai was setting off fireworks, and it was over at this time. Seeing the adults greet him, he ran over quickly, and the family of three entered the house and had a New Year's Eve dinner.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Xinghuai paid New Year greetings to Uncle Shi and his younger uncle as usual, and received generous red envelopes. The people in the waiting mansion gave New Year greetings to Lord Hou, the adults and the young master, and Yu Liangji gave them a lot of red envelopes.

After the fun, the family of three spent a decadent day playing Doudi Zhu at home!

And at this time, within the palace walls of the capital, everyone is paying attention to what is the annual gift given by the Marquis Qingfeng?

"I'm also very curious." His Majesty the Emperor ordered someone to present the things.

The empress is also looking forward to it, even square watermelons can be made, what else can't be made by Qingfenghou?

And the princes and princesses, they still remember the square yellow watermelon they ate last year!

What came out was a small plate covered with yellow satin.

His Majesty the Emperor himself lifted the yellow silk and satin, and when he saw the contents in the tray, he stood up immediately!
