Finally, Zhang Wuliang ushered in his first Laba Festival in another world, in the alternate work of killing pig rice and grinding tofu. The Laba Festival in Taohe Village has two activities: cooking Laba porridge and worshiping ancestors.

Sacrificing ancestors and gods on Laba Day is a sacrificial ceremony that has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it is to pray for a good harvest and auspiciousness.

But eating Laba porridge is to commemorate a loyal official of the Jin Dynasty: Li Rong. The former Jin Dynasty was a dynasty with high prosperity in commodity economy, cultural education, and scientific innovation in history.

In the last years of the Jin Dynasty, the northern barbarians sent troops southward, and the frontier troops were vulnerable. Before March, the northern barbarians attacked Ganzhou, the capital of the former dynasty. The royal family of the Jin Dynasty fled south in a hurry and moved the capital south to Jiangnan.

Li Rong, the general of Huaihua at that time, persisted in resisting the barbarians and subdued Yingcang. The next year, he was appointed as the governor of Cangzhou and vowed to go north to conquer the Central Plains. At that time, Li Rong led his troops to resist the barbarians in Zhuxian Town. Li Jiajun was poor in food and clothing, hungry and cold, and all the people sent porridge one after another. Li Jiajun had a full meal of the "Thousand Family Porridge" sent by the people, and returned home with a big victory.

This day is the eighth day of December.After Li Rong's death, in order to commemorate him, the people cooked porridge with miscellaneous grains, beans and fruits every eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which finally became a custom.

It's a pity that a generation of famous generals was murdered by treacherous people in the court and died young. Since Li Rong's death, the vitality of the dynasty has been exhausted, and it fell apart in less than two years.

In the past 20 years, wars have been raging everywhere, and the people are in dire straits.It wasn't until Ming Gaozu Han Yejin was born, conquered the princes in the south and attacked the barbarians in the north, regained the lost land and unified the world, and the people left their homes and their homes were precarious.

Zhang Wuliang stood in the Zhang's ancestral hall and listened to the patriarch Zhang Zhengyang read the obscure and profound prayers, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that he didn't wear it to the time of great turmoil.

Otherwise, I don't know how he died with his small body.

But those time-traveling fictional men mainly don’t wear them to become kings and emperors in troubled times, or they wear them to princes’ families to worship generals and become princes, so what is the reason for him to wear a country boy?

Is it possible that the achievement is for making tofu?Zhang Wuliang bowed and bowed his head following the instructions of the patriarch, and began to think about life. It is estimated that he doubted life because he made tofu all day long these days.

Zhang Wuliang didn't think about the reason until the sacrifice was over. Looking at Zhang Zhenyong who was thinking about Laba porridge but had to suppress his excitement because the sacrifice had just ended, Zhang Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally straight, why think so much?

Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Wuliang returned to the Zhang Family Courtyard. The Laba porridge that Aunt Zhao and Chen Xiaonian had prepared earlier was also cooked.

Zhang Wuliang stirred the Laba porridge in the bowl with a spoon. The ingredients are extremely rich but not exactly the same as what Zhang Wuliang ate when he was a child. In modern Zhang Wuliang’s childhood, most of the Laba porridge cooked in the village would add citronella, water chestnuts, walnut kernels, and pine nuts. , Gorgon fruit, red dates, chestnuts, fungus, vegetables, enoki mushrooms, etc., you can also add vegetables and oil to make salty porridge.

However, the Laba porridge cooked by Aunt Zhao and Chen Xiaonian is sweet and sweet cooked with dried fruits such as millet, glutinous rice, sorghum rice, purple rice, barley, red beans, mung beans, red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, chestnuts, walnut kernels, almonds, longan, ginkgo, etc. Zhang Wuliang took a sip of porridge. It was sour, sweet, hard and waxy. It was really delicious.Moreover, Laba porridge is not only a seasonal delicacy, but also a good health product, especially suitable for maintaining the spleen and stomach in cold weather.

Seeing that Zhang Wuliang had finished eating all the bowls, Aunt Zhao pointed to the porcelain bowls beside the stove and said, "Those were brought from someone else's house, you should try some of them too."

"Okay." Zhang Wuliang took a spoon and took a bite one by one. The taste was similar, and the ingredients were almost the same: "It's not as delicious as yours." Zhang Wuliang flattered Aunt Zhao and Chen Xiaonian in a small way.

Zhang Zhenyong took a bite of everyone following him, and nodded like a grown-up after eating: "Well, the one made by aunt and brother-in-law is the best."

"Hahaha" Mrs. Zhao was very happy to be slapped by these two flatterers, even Chen Xiaonian was smiling, and Gao Xin couldn't hide her mood.

Zhang Zhenyong and Zhang Wuliang looked at each other: women...

"By the way," Aunt Zhao said after laughing, "Just now Yun'er came to deliver porridge, and asked us to go to town tomorrow to buy new year's goods."

Lin Yuner: Zhang Zhenzong's daughter-in-law, Zhang Wuliang's sister-in-law.

Zhang Wuliang replied: "Okay, let's all go together?" The "all" refers to Zhang Wuliang, Chen Xiaonian, Zhao Auntie and Zhang Zhenyong.

"All go..." Why?Looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, Mrs. Zhao couldn't say what she wanted to say: "Then let's all go."

"Yeah! Long live!" Zhang Zhenyong was about to jump up happily, Zhang Wuliang and Chen Xiaonian were also full of anticipation.

So the next morning, Zhang Wuliang's family followed the purchasing team in the village and set foot on the road to Shuangwan Town.

The man walked in front with ropes and sacks alone, the woman walked behind with a basket, and the children ran around wildly. A group of people marched forward in a mighty way. It took more than half an hour to finally see the city wall of Shuangwan Town.

At the foot of the city wall, the number of people on the road gradually increased. There was a long line at the registration office at the gate of the city, and a group of people chatted and laughed and walked to the end of the line to dijiuz

com Ninth Chinese online team, the whole team is full of lively laughter, the guards in front repeatedly yelled at Jing Jing, and will be able to play a little role in the front of the team, and have little effect in the back.

The black faces of the officers and soldiers couldn't stop the people from celebrating the New Year at all, so they had no choice but to end up at the front of the line, so that the registered people could hear the voices of the people entering the city clearly.

Zhang Wuliang watched all this silently, wondering whether he should lament that the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, or that the county magistrate is well-mannered, and the villagers dare to communicate so unscrupulously.It's just that the officers and soldiers can't do anything to them.But what kind of conditions were needed in ancient times, so that farmers could turn a blind eye to the black faces of officers and soldiers?

The efficiency of the officials was very high, and the people who arrived in Taohe Village in less than a while, after explaining where they were from, what they were doing in the city, and when they would leave the city, a group of people were let in. It's inconvenient, the people in a village are divided into several groups, and each goes to buy what he needs.

Zhang Wuliang's family naturally followed Uncle Zhang's family. Aunt Zhang, Lin Yuner and Zhang Zhenwen came from Uncle Zhang's house. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao led Chen Xiaonian and Lin Yuner to the front, and Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Zhenwen followed with Zhang Zhenyong. Behind, along the way, Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Zhenyong looked around and looked around.

Zhang Zhenwen rarely satirized them: "The two of you haven't been to town for a long time, how is it? Do you feel any changes?"

It was the first time Zhang saw the ancient bazaar and Wu Liang hypocritically said: "I don't remember what it looked like before, but this year the bazaar looks a bit busier than in previous years."

In fact, the scene on the street is not as lively as Zhang Wuliang imagined. Teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, street vendors, and shoppers did not give him the feeling of the crowds and traffic in the Qingming Riverside Picture.

There are only a few small stalls on the side of the road to buy homemade things, but there are shops on the side of the street. Along the way, there are only cloth shops, grain shops, and pawn shops. There are few restaurants and tea shops.

But Zhang Zhenwen nodded in agreement: "It's indeed more lively than before."

Zhang Wuliang followed Aunt Zhao and the others into a grocery store, where the most mobile population was. When Zhang Wuliang and the others entered, a large group of people just came out, and the inside suddenly became empty. Aunt Zhao and the others went to choose what they needed, and Zhang Wuliang picked it up. The poles are wandering in the shop.

Later, Zhang Wuliang found something that surprised him in a very remote corner.That is kelp. According to his memory, Shuangwan Town is not facing the sea.

As for how far it was from the sea, he didn't know. He didn't expect to find seafood in such a grocery store now.

He picked up a bundle of kelp, and the waiter next to him glanced at it and ignored it. He was used to the few people who came to see what was fresh every day, and no one bought it anyway.

The dried kelp was not damaged, and the salt sand was processed very cleanly. Zhang Wuliang nodded in satisfaction, held the kelp and looked up to see the waiter standing next to him, and asked, "Brother, how much is this?"

"Eight Wen for one catty, fifteen for two catties, 21 for three catties," the waiter in the shop recited the price fluently.

Chen Xiaonian next to him was surprised: "So expensive?"

Look, it's like this every time, the waiter thought.

"It's a bit expensive," Zhang Wuliang said.

Chen Xiaonian nodded in agreement, before raising his head, he heard Zhang Wuliang continue to say: "If I buy more, can it be cheaper?"

"Okay." The waiter said, "We still have 110 catties in the store. If you want it all, I'll count you [-] Wen."

Chen Xiaonian tugged at Zhang Wuliang's sleeve: "Brother Zhang..."

Zhang Wuliang gave him a comforting look, and then said to the waiter: "Eighty"

"Eighty is not enough, it's too cheap, and I'm going to lose money." The waiter in the shop was unwilling: "Well, if you really want it, you can count it as a hundred."

Zhang Wuliang was not in a hurry to argue with him, but said slowly, "Kelp grows from April to September every year. After going to sea, it is processed, and the best before June is used. It is usually the time for merchants to transport sea goods. By the way, there are salt grains on it, and the salty taste after cooking the soup, this one of yours has been here for at least half a year, and there are not many people willing to buy it without salt grains, am I right?"

"This, this" the waiter in the shop was sweating profusely.Although he didn't know what kelp was produced from, what Zhang Wuliang said was all facts.

The fat shopkeeper who noticed the incident over there came over, and the waiter immediately moved out of the way. The fat shopkeeper didn't seem to notice the coarse linen clothes on Zhang Wuliang's body, and bowed to him, saying, "This customer is really knowledgeable." Guang, I admire you, it is our honor that the little brother has taken a fancy to our kelp.

In this way, since the little brother likes it and the old brother decides, and the little brother takes Liushiwen, he will treat it as the brother making you his friend. "

Zhang Wuliang gave way to the side, and did not accept his gift. From the guests, to the little brother, and then calling himself brother, this shopkeeper knows how to speak, Zhang Wuliang continued: "My brother is serious, and my little brother is just hearsay. , I happen to know a little bit, but I’m playing tricks in front of my brother, and I also know that this seafood is hard to come by, so there’s no need for big brother.”

"Okay." The shopkeeper responded heartily: "Since you said so, brother, then according to what you said, eighty characters, my surname is Yang, my name is Xiao Zifeng, I don't know if there is a chance to make a friend like brother."

Zhang Wuliang bowed: "Brother Zifeng, you are welcome. My younger brother's surname is Zhang Ming... Zhenliang's name is Ningyuan, and he is from Taohe Village."

Shopkeeper Yang laughed, and said, "Okay! If you want Ning Yuan, you can choose it, it's the big brother."

Zhang Wuliang also laughed and said: "Then you will be impolite."
