Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Four big black plums are placed on the plate, this is not the point, the point is that the four words "Guotai Minan" are clearly written on the top of the plums!

It's not that there are strange-shaped fruits, but I've never seen a fruit with long characters!

At that time, Sheng Taizu stipulated that people were not allowed to offer auspicious auspiciousness, saying that it was a trick to deceive people. White deer, white lion, and white tiger were all animals with albinism. So far, the term "albinism" appeared in advance at this time. vocabulary.

But when the father was alive, he didn't tell him that the long characters on the fruit were a scam!

However, His Majesty the Emperor still suspects that it is artificially synthesized!

"This, this, this is a good omen!" Some veterans were very excited.

And the four black and purple plums dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen have the words "good weather and good weather" on them.

The one dedicated to the crown prince is "Wencheng Wude", and there is only one word "Fu" on the black plums for each prince and ministers.

Plums are black, in fact, because they are so red that they look black, and those characters happen to be purple and red.

"What's a good omen?" A military general disagreed: "Maybe it's some kind of trickery, don't label Qingfeng Hou indiscriminately!"

Whether the military commander system is available or not, everyone knows that the Northeast General got high-yield potato seeds from Qingfenghou, and they are all waiting to plant them next year to get a good share. Who thinks the crop yield is high!

Can't wait for it to be good!

Although I don't know how this thing was made, but it must be very easy to get it if there are a lot of it. It is definitely made by hand. It is not a good omen, it is at best a new trick!

This is to be labeled as a "good omen", and later found out that it was artificially made, which is tantamount to deceiving the emperor!

What's wrong with this old man?

Therefore, the generals all glared at him, making the old minister baffled, how did he offend these generals?

"Recruit their housekeeper!" His Majesty the Emperor observed for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how it was made out. He thought that someone would come to give gifts, right?Just meet their stewards!

The person in charge is familiar with the first time and the second time, and now he can have a good conversation, and he is very proud of talking about Master Hou's invention.

In fact, it is very simple. Fruits need to be exposed to the sun to ripen, but Yu Liangji has people cut out the words with black paper like cutting window grilles, and then paste them on the unripe fruits, so that the places covered by black letters cannot be seen. Sunlight, the natural color is much lighter, while other places are exposed to sunlight, it is like ordinary fruit. After a while, tear off the black paper-cut on the fruit, wash the fruit, and there will be writing on the fruit.

"The ones for the emperor and the empress are made separately, and the rest are the characters of blessing, because the paper-cutting requires dexterity, and Master Hou didn't prepare so much, so he made these characters for auspiciousness! "The person in charge is very pleasant to speak, in fact, because Yu Liangji thinks it is troublesome, and everyone knows the paper-cutting of the word "Fu", but only a few people know the words.

"Okay, okay! Interesting! Interesting!" His Majesty the Emperor smiled happily, yes, yes, this Marquis Qingfeng is really flexible!

The ministers of the first hall were also laughing and laughing, looking at the pitiful black plum with the word "Fu" in front of them and smiling.

His Majesty the Emperor was happy, and waved his hand: "Reward, great reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The steward hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. When he came, the steward said that Lord Hou was looking forward to the reward!

Eunuch Liu stood there smiling Mimi.

Yesterday, Eunuch Liu received the New Year's gift that Yu Liangji had brought to him. It was just two little plums with two words on them: "Ping" and "An".

Nothing left!

This is exactly what Eunuch Liu meant. He was afraid that Lord Qingfeng would send a carload of New Year gifts like last year, and that would be really bad.

This is just right, just right!

Yu Liangji didn't know that he had won a big reward, so he spent the first and second grades with Shi Hongda and Xiao Xinghuai at home, and started preparations in the afternoon of the second grade because he was going to Zhangjiacun.

"No fanfare is allowed this year. For two years in a row, there will be a large crowd. If there are a large crowd this year, it will be like a demonstration. Only two carriages and three or five guards will do." Yu Liangji really didn't want to procrastinate. A large group of people moved back and forth.

Not to mention others, he himself doesn't like that.

"Listen to you, don't make too much fanfare, just two carts pulling things, one with people, four guards and me, and the driver, okay?" Shi Hongda didn't want a lot of people to go this year either. Yes, after all, a short period of time is called deterrence, what will become of it in the long run?

"Well, bring some wine over, you are all drinking Laobaigan, we have to drink some wine too, don't we?" Yu Liangji directed the staff to prepare gifts.

"And that fruit tea, bring some too. If you eat too greasy at night, you can drink it as a digestion tea. There are a lot of hawthorns in it." Shi Hongda suggested from the side.

"That's right, bring some of that fruit tea, it's good for the elderly to drink, pack two packs, one big one for Zhang's family, and one small one for us to use ourselves!" Yu Liangji did so one day.

The farm dishes during the New Year's and festivals are full of oil and salt. There are few as Hou Fu's meticulous workmanship. Most of them are meat dishes, even if there are vegetables, they are also a foil.

Yu Liangji was afraid that the child would not be able to eat so much greasy food due to weak spleen and stomach, so he brought a lot of fruit tea and picked a lot of strawberries with milk: "They don't have this thing there, let's take it there and give them a taste."

The milk strawberries in the Hou Mansion are not for sale. They are kept at home and provided to the children in the school. Now it is winter vacation and there is no one in the school. The strawberries have grown a lot and are ripe a lot. Two big baskets.

This time Steward He gained experience, and Yu Liangji nodded and approved all the gifts he prepared. The only difference was that there were two more old ginseng in the gift, which was considered precious.

"The elder brother is getting older, and there is such a thing at home. If there is any urgent matter, he can hang himself in his mouth." Steward He's reasons are very good, and Yu Liangji has no way to object.

"But the medicinal materials for the Chinese New Year?" Yu Liangji had a headache.

"It's too big, this is ginseng, not other medicinal materials, it's fine." Shi Hongda agreed.

Xiao Xinghuai also prepared gifts for a few cousins. The children went to play together. When they were young, they were ignorant and did not have much contact. Formed a group.

This trip to my grandparents' house was easy, and there were only ten people including Xiao Xinghuai, a family of three, three coachmen, and four guards.

It's not that I'm afraid of being robbed by people, but that I'm afraid of wild animals on the road.

Fortunately, the autumn hunting has been ruthless in the past few years, and there is not a single large beast.

The group went out early in the morning, and it was only around ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Zhangjia Village. Zhangjia Village was still the same as last year. There was no pedestrian on the road, and because of the bugs in the greenhouse, it was a bit dull, and there was no New Year's Eve active energy.

Yu Liangji sighed.

"They are self-inflicted. If someone speaks up when their village chief is perverse, it will be better than now!" Shi Hongda didn't think so.

There are few good people in Zhangjiacun, but there are many aggrieved people. Unfortunately, Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda are not something they can provoke now!

When we arrived at the door of Mr. Zhang's house, the old man and the old lady were waiting at the gate!

Don't mention how happy I am to see you!

After Si saw it, he entered the main room, and the people who came with him were moved to the east wing. The two aunts smiled like flowers, and the two uncles also smiled honestly.

"I got really angry this year!" Mr. Zhang also had a very red face: "Those old people come to our house to buy potato seeds. They cost a lot of money per catty, and the price is the same. Those who want to negotiate the price will not be sold, and they will not be owed on credit! "

The expressions of those people at that time!

Yu Liangji was more worried that they would use the clan law to suppress the old man. After all, Zhangjiacun is a village with one surname, and the whole village has the surname Zhang. A few families also married daughters of Zhangjiacun.

"Yes, they said, there are indeed people who want to use the clan law to suppress me!" As a result, Mr. Zhang is also a bachelor: "I said at the time, we either get rid of the clan, and we move to Shibalipu as a family, and we can watch it every day." To grandson!"

"Pfft!" Yu Liangji sprayed directly!

I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so reckless... he is so familiar with the road!

"They didn't say a word at that time!" Mr. Zhang said triumphantly: "Later, when they sold potato seeds, their family didn't have a share, and they sold them to other people's houses. I guess it took a few detours to get them. Big price!"

Because the potato seeds in Shibalipu will never be sold to Zhangjiacun, and who in the nearby Shiliba Village doesn't know the grudge between Zhangjiacun and Shibalipu?

No one will sell potato seeds. One is Shibalipu, which sells potato seeds. They always ask how much land your family has, and how many potato seeds will be given to you. Whoever wants to buy more seeds with less land will not work, the old village chief Check it out yourself!

When it is almost sold out, people will not sell it.

Basically, each household doesn’t have much surplus, and Zhangjia Village’s reputation is not good, so it’s okay if you want to see something new. If you want to buy in large quantities, you have money and no place to buy it!

Mr. Zhang’s family is the only one with potato seeds. They didn’t know about it before, and many people regretted it. Why didn’t they dig out some potatoes when they were still in the field?

"When our family was planting potatoes, they laughed at our family, saying that if we don't grow grain and potatoes, let's see what we eat in winter!" The old man became angry when he thought of the beginning of spring: "Let them see now, we What do you eat in winter!"

Yu Liangji smiled and comforted the old man: "Yes, let them see what our family eats in winter!"

Made everyone in the room laugh.

"This is the milk strawberry that was sold well last winter. You should always eat one!" Yu Liangji introduced, pointing to the washed strawberries.

"Is this the milk strawberry?" The old lady looked at it very curiously: "I heard that it is watered with milk and grows up, so it is very expensive. Go to the fruit shop to buy it, and it will cost one tael of silver a catty!"

Yu Liangji almost fell off the kang!

This seller is too dark!

In the past two years, vegetable sheds have been everywhere and strawberries have been planted. At the most expensive time, it was only five yuan a catty, but now it costs a tael of silver a catty?

Shopkeeper Gu is quite white, but I didn't expect it to be so dark inside!

"Yes, milk strawberries, it's not as serious as it is said outside, it just tastes better." Yu Liangji quickly explained that he is not a luxury person, if he really uses milk to water strawberries, let alone a tael of silver a catty, Ten taels of silver a catty, he doesn't know how to grow it well!

"Don't tell me, this thing is expensive for a reason, and it tastes really good!" The two aunts also ate one, and it really tasted very sweet, with a little milky taste.

Who would believe it if it wasn't made of milk?

Anyway, they don't believe it.

Yu Liangji was speechless and could only hehe.

Because the Zhang family made a lot of money growing potatoes this year, life is getting better and better. When the two aunts were cooking, they wanted to have a lot of fish and meat, but the old lady said: "Be light, everyone's family will enjoy it during the New Year." There is no shortage of oil and water, for fear of hurting the child's spleen and stomach."

The two sisters-in-law put down the oil tank and went to the vegetable shed to pick a lot of vegetables and came back.

In order to be lighter, even the specially reserved frozen tofu was used, and a table of mixed meat and vegetable meals was made.

Shi Hongda chatted with the old man and the two uncles for a while, talking about Xiao Xinghuai's autumn hunting. Hearing that his nephew was going to hunt, the two uncles were very happy.

"His parents know, and they should die in peace!" The old man wiped his tears sadly.

My daughter is not lucky, she didn't see this day!
