Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

The warm afternoon sun was spreading lazily. Xiao Yu was sitting in the yard, with his right ankle on his left leg, his arms on his knees, his hand on his chin, with a lazy smile on his face, facing the gate. Direction: "Get promoted, get promoted, get rich, get rich."

Pei Linzhi was pasting a picture of two roosters on the gate with a bunch of lychees in his mouth.The picture was hand-drawn by Xiao Yu, the soul. Not to mention, with just a few strokes, two majestic and high-spirited roosters jumping on the paper.

Pei Linzhi didn't know that His Royal Highness still has such accomplishments in painting, which is always full of surprises.However, His Highness's blind instructions made him confused: "Is it to get promoted or to get rich?"

Xiao Yu, a little money fanatic, explained that it was New Year's Day, so he drew a picture of auspiciousness and auspiciousness. The job of posting the pictures was done by Pei Linzhi, who was tall, and he supervised it himself. If you want to get rich, you should say auspicious words during the New Year.

Xiao Yu laughed: "It's just right to be promoted and rich."

Pei Linzhi posted the picture of good luck and great profit that was covered with kudzu powder, and looked back at His Highness covered by the warm sun, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart. If the years can be so quiet forever, he is willing to protect His Highness. Such a simple and carefree idler.

Xiao Yu smiled brightly and applauded: "Very good, very good, finally there is a little New Year's atmosphere. Ji Hai, Erlang, cut more bamboo, and let's set off firecrackers at night."

Seeing his childish smile, Pei Linzhi couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head. He didn't know where he learned so many tricks, such as posting pictures of good luck, inserting peach charms, and setting off firecrackers at night.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Xiao Yu tried different ways to find the New Year’s atmosphere. It’s really that the New Year’s Day in Yazhou is too lacking in New Year’s atmosphere. The weather is unbearably warm, and the leather jacket can’t be worn at all. During the day, he can only wear single clothes.

The peach blossoms are blooming on the branches, and the bees that have been dormant for two months are buzzing and busy again. When the flowers bloom, they will be able to harvest fresh honey.

In Xiao Yu's memory, the Chinese New Year is closely bound up with rain, snow, rain, and cold. How could it be like this?Since you can't find the flavor of the year by the weather, you can create it yourself.

The lady of the Wu family came out from the kitchen and asked: "Mr. Xiao, the fish has been packed, what do you think should be done with the fresh fish and sheep?"

Xiao Yu stood up and stretched his waist: "I'll do it." Xiao Yu invited the Wu family to celebrate the New Year today, as a thank you for their hard work during this time, although he often gave them meat on weekdays, But the meaning of celebrating the New Year together is different, and the New Year requires a lot of people to have an atmosphere.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous. There was a goat hunted by Pei Linzhi. This time, it was not skinned but shaved. Some were given to the Meng family and Lizheng, and some were kept for roasting at night. The rest of the goats were used by Xiao Yu to stew a pot of fish Fresh sheep; the Meng family returned a big rooster, but the wife of the Wu family killed it. Xiao Yu planned to make it into a white chicken. Since there is a lack of spices, let’s eat something fresh; there is also a braised fish, the sauce for the fish is not made by Xiao Yu himself. Yes, because it takes at least half a year to make the sauce, and his sauce is still fermenting in the tank, which is bought from Huji Grain and Oil Shop; steamed shrimp and crab are also indispensable, and they are red and bright; there are also steamed scallops, roasted rabbit meat, etc. , made ten perfect dishes, and put a full table.

Xiao Yu has never worked hard at cooking. After arriving here, relying on his own memory and imagination, he actually cooks dishes decently. It seems that he is a natural foodie.

For the Ji Hai brothers and sisters and Wu Xingyi's family, they have never eaten such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in their entire lives, and they can't even imagine that the New Year's Eve dinner can be so rich.The taste is even more delicious, the same seafood, Mrs. Wu's family admits that she can't make such a good taste.

The table was full of delicacies and glutinous rice wine made by Xiao Yu himself, and the table was full of people who almost swallowed their tongues.Although everyone boasted very reservedly, Xiao Yu could see that everyone loved food, and almost all the dishes were swept away, leaving only the "fish" that must be kept every year.With everyone's support, Xiao Yu, who cooks, certainly feels a sense of accomplishment.

After dinner, Xiao Yu took out a few cardboard packages and handed them out to everyone one by one: "Everyone has worked hard this year, because of everyone's hard work, we can live comfortably. This is the lucky money for everyone, and it will hold down all the money for the coming year. I hope that the weather will continue to be smooth next year, everyone will be safe and healthy, and the days will be more and more prosperous."

Pei Linzhi took the paper bag Xiao Yu gave him, and was a little dumbfounded. His Highness actually prepared lucky money for him.

Wu Xingyi was holding the thick paper bag, and his vicissitudes of hands were a little helpless: "Your Majesty, you can't do this."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Why can't it be done? Thanks to Master Wu and Erlang, my paper workshop can go on smoothly. Next year I plan to make more paper, but there is not enough manpower, so you can take a few down-to-earth children as apprentices and let them teach You are a helper. It is agreed in advance that I will provide food and lodging for a three-year apprenticeship. After completing my studies, I will work for us for three years and get paid. After I leave the teacher, I can’t work in the same industry for three years, but I can continue to work for us. The salary can be increased. .The Zhifang will be entrusted to Master Wu.”

Wu Xingyi looked at Xiao Yu, Mr. Lang wanted him to be in charge of the paper workshop, and he could not repay this trust: "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lang, I will definitely manage the paper workshop for Mr. Lang."

Da Lang of the Wu family stuffed the paper bag back: "Your Majesty, don't take mine. You treated me, took us in, and taught us to read and write. I didn't help at all. I'm really sorry. Then take Lang Jun's lucky money."

Xiao Yu laughed: "It's said that it's New Year's money. It's to suppress evil spirits. Your leg injury is still not fully healed, and you need to press it most. Who said you can't help, you have done a lot of peeling bark and bamboo slices I'll take it for you, don't refuse. Well, we've eaten the New Year's Eve dinner, and it's getting dark soon, let's make some preparations, let's go roast the mutton, and let's set off firecrackers when it's dark.”

Everyone is looking forward to the roast lamb, because they have never eaten roast lamb.Xiao Yu instructed everyone to light the fire, put the skewered mutton on the fire and start roasting.

When they were lighting a fire and grilling meat in the yard, Pei Linzhi went out for a while, and when he came back, Xiao Yu was brushing oil on the roasted mutton, the oil dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound and emitting a tempting sound. human aroma.

Pei Linzhi walked over, took the coconut bowl and brown hair brush from him, and said, "It's too hot by the fire, sir, go and rest."

Xiao Yu looked at him and smiled: "Aren't you afraid of heat?"

Pei Linzhi said, "My arms are longer."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Hmph, are you running on my short arms?"

Pei Linzhi turned to look at him and laughed.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to avenge his run-on, but when he saw his smile, he immediately forgot to pinch him. Good-looking people really have an advantage.

Xiao Yu has no concept of his own appearance, because there is no mirror, only in the water can he see what he looks like, but a big man who has nothing to go to the water to see what he looks like, he is not Narcissus.

"Where did you go just now?" Xiao Yu changed the subject.

Pei Linzhi said, "Go arrange someone to be on duty at night."

Xiao Yu frowned: "It's Chinese New Year, the thieves probably won't come."

"Who knows." Pei Linzhi looked at the fire, carelessly brushing the roast lamb.

I explained to the students who came to the class last night that tonight is the Chinese New Year holiday, and there will be no classes.At first, no one really came, but after a while, the neighbors found that there was a bonfire again, so they came over involuntarily.While the mutton was being roasted, Xiao Yu naturally didn't want to ask the students to leave. Everyone who saw it had a share, and everyone cut a piece to try it out.

After eating the meat, Xiao Yu said: "Who will perform a show to cheer up the fun? You can sing and dance." He knew that all ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing, and the Luoyue people (Li nationality) on the island must be no exception.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Meng Sigui said, "Da Lang is the best at singing."

Xiao Yu smiled: "Really? Then let Da Lang perform for us."

Wu Jiadalang hesitated for a while, and then let go of his throat and sang, without accompaniment, purely original ecological singing, his voice was really clear, and he sang really well.

With singing, dancing is naturally indispensable, and everyone danced around the bonfire again.

After waiting for the fun, Xiao Yu asked them to throw the bamboo they collected during the day into the fire. The bamboo burned in the fire, and it really made a crackling sound, which was a bit like firecrackers.

Listening to the sound of crackling firecrackers, Xiao Yu looked at the galaxy above his head, and suddenly, he felt a little homesick. Is it celebrating the New Year at home?I hope that the relatives in another time and space can be happy and healthy.

"Lang Jun, this is for you."

Xiao Yu heard Pei Linzhi's voice and turned to look at him: "What?"

"New Year's money." Pei Linzhi took his hand, and placed a shiny copper coin in his palm with great care. This copper coin is really bright and can reflect the fire, which is better than the coins he usually uses It must be thick and large, not an ordinary copper coin.

Xiao Yu took a closer look at the firelight, and it was not Jingtai Yuanbao, but "Longevity and Longevity" written on it. On the other side, there were simple patterns, which obviously cost money and were custom-made. These are all wealthy families. What I will do is to customize lucky money for children: "Thank you!"

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, take it with you to keep you safe and healthy."

"Okay. Tomorrow I'll weave a rope and hang it on my body." Xiao Yu agreed.

Pei Linzhi smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

After setting off the firecrackers, the bonfire gradually went out, and everyone went home to sleep.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Pei Linzhi sat up suddenly, got off the bed and listened to the ground for a while, then got up and patted Xiao Yu awake: "Mr. Lang, wake up, there is an enemy attack."

Xiao Yu was so frightened that he sat up in shock: "Where is it?"

Pei Linzhi said: "I heard footsteps and horseshoes, many people, but they didn't come for us, they just passed by here and headed north."

Xiao Yu immediately thought of a possibility: "Could it be that he went to Zhoucheng?"

"Mostly."

Xiao Yu asked, "Why didn't the person on duty at night notice?"

Pei Linzhi said: "It should be that he didn't come to the village. I'll call Ji Hai, sir, you still stay at home and don't go out."

He was about to call Ji Hai and Wu Erlang, when there was a knock on the door, Pei Linzhi asked, "Who?"

"Pei Langjun, I am Haisheng. I have a situation." It was Lin Haisheng who was patrolling at night.

Pei Linzhi said, "I see, I'll be here right away."

Xiao Yu stopped him: "Rinzhi, remember not to be reckless. They are numerous and powerful, so they must not confront each other head-on. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"I understand, don't worry, Mr. Pei." Pei Linzhi nodded, and went to the next door to wake up Ji Hai.

Not long after, Ji Hai came to Xiao Yu's room, and Pei Linzhi had already left with Lin Haisheng.

Naturally, Xiao Yu couldn't fall asleep. On New Year's Eve, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate must be somewhat slack. This is really a good time to attack the city. These gangsters and pirates seem to be a little tricky.

I don't know if Xue Zhao can hold it. The entire Yazhou Prefecture only has two thousand soldiers, and they are stationed in Zhuguan County and Zhulu County respectively.Although the Emperor Anguo was not a wise king, and the government was not clear, the bandits and pirates were not teachers of justice. They also bullied the people and killed innocent people indiscriminately.So Xiao Yu still hoped that Xue Zhao could suppress these bandits.

Just as Xiao Yu was anxiously waiting at home, voices and footsteps came from outside the door, it sounded like there was more than one person.

Xiao Yu's heart rose to his throat, and he hurried to the window to open the bamboo curtain to have a look, but in the [-]th night, there was no moonlight, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

There was a knock on the door, and Pei Rinzhi's voice sounded: "Mr. Lang, it's me, Rinzhi, open the door."

Xiao Yu was very surprised, Pei Linzhi didn't go to Zhoucheng?Why did you come back again? Did something happen?

Ji Hai hurried to open the door: "Master, are you back?"

A strange male voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Xiao Hai? Xiao Hai, is that you?"

Ji Hai's body was shocked, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Brother?!"
