Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1210, Ming's New Year 3
Penglai City, now the largest city in Golden Continent, has a year-round population of more than [-]. When Chinese New Year arrives, as soon as explorers from all over the world come back to explore and seek wealth, the population of Penglai City will exceed one million.

There are not many big cities with a million dollars even in Daming, but Penglai City was completed in just a few years.

This is mainly due to the geographical location of Penglai City, which is located in the middle of the Golden Continent. To the north is the North Golden Continent, to the south is the South Golden Continent. At the same time, it is an important transportation point between east and west, and it is also the center of the Ming Dynasty's rule of the Golden Continent. where.

In addition, the trade between this place and the Spaniards in Europe is extremely close, so Penglai City has a strong attraction since it was built, attracting a large number of immigrants to settle here.

The huge Penglai City continues to expand along the Penglai Bay (Gulf of Mexico). The turquoise water and warm sea breeze make Penglai City not feel the slightest bit of cold.

The warm and comfortable weather is also an important wish for its rapid development.

This year is the New Year's Eve. Like other cities in Ming Dynasty, Penglai City is decorated with lights and festoons. Red lanterns are hung on every household on the street. Festive couplets decorate Penglai City into a sea of ​​red.

In the streets and alleys, bursts of fragrance came from every household, which made people salivate, and at the same time, children playing and playing could be seen everywhere.

There are so many children, which has almost become the biggest feature of Golden Island.

The Ming people who came here almost all took concubines, and the descendants of Yin Shang in Huangjinzhou also liked to marry the Ming people, not only because the living standards of the Ming people were higher and the civilization was more advanced, but more importantly because they were The idea that Tian Erniu instilled in them.

The people of Ming Dynasty are more noble than them. Although they share the same ancestors as the people of Ming Dynasty, they blasphemed the gods, so they were exiled to the Golden Continent. The people of Ming Dynasty are the people of God. They are noble and deeply loved by God. favor.

If you marry a Daming person, your child can become a Daming person and have a noble status.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that is popular among the descendants of the Shang Dynasty in Huangjinzhou, so there are a large number of descendants of the Shang Dynasty who marry Daming people as concubines.

The situation in Chen Feng's family was also the same.

He is an explorer, usually looking for gold and silver all over the Golden Continent. He travels all over the country, and almost everywhere he goes, he will marry a local tribe's woman as a concubine. He travels to many places, and there are more than a dozen women in his family.

Coupled with the fact that East Golden Continent has a lot of contact with Europeans, the Spaniards sold a large number of European slaves to Golden Continent. Out of curiosity, he bought several European women.

After all, there were more than [-] women in his family, who gave birth to dozens of children for him.

Fortunately, the land on the Golden Isle is sparsely populated and the land is fertile, so you don’t have to worry about food if you grow anything. I have to hang myself alone.

Because Chen Feng first discovered ginseng in the northern border, he made a lot of money by relying on ginseng. After he got rich, he dug ginseng in the northern border on the one hand, and bought some steam tractors and harvesters on the other. What.

A lot of fields have been reclaimed in the northern border, near Penglai City, and the Great Plains north of Penglai Bay. There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, all of which are left to the women of the family to take care of.

For those who immigrated to the Golden Continent, farming is really a sideline, just to have food to fill their stomachs, but not to make a fortune, because there is too much land here.

As long as you want to cultivate land, you can plant whatever you want, and the land you reclaim is yours. The government encourages you to reclaim land in this regard.

The food that is grown casually makes the food here in Huangjinzhou too much to eat, and it is not worth money at all.

If you want to get rich, you have to explore everywhere, gold, silver, ginseng, etc., as long as you find one.

"There are too many ginseng diggers, and the price has dropped sharply. If we continue to dig like this, sooner or later, we will be like the ginseng in Liaodong. Sooner or later, we will all be dug up."

"While I still have money, I still need to buy a piece of land in the northern border and enclose it. In the future, just cultivating ginseng will be enough for future generations to eat."

Chen Feng was thinking about his future path. There are really too many people in this family.

The New Year's Eve dinner is about to be eaten, and the tables are set up several times, and the women in the family are busy walking around.

"Sir, it's time for New Year's Eve dinner."

As night fell, the whale oil lamps were lit, and the red lanterns set off a festive atmosphere. The neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood had already lit fireworks and firecrackers, making Penglai City extremely noisy and lively.

Chen Feng's wife, Wang Shi, brought some concubines to invite Chen Feng to a seat.

"Hmm~"

Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction, and came to the courtyard where the reunion dinner was held. His concubines and children were already waiting in a proper manner.

Looking around, his eyes fell on the few European concubines sitting at the farthest side, and then at the children they were holding, Chen Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

The few children they gave birth to were not quite like Chen Feng, they were all blond and blue-eyed, and they had few characteristics of Ming people, which made Chen Feng not like it very much, but there was no way, it was also his own kind, at least the skin was fair and the body was strong, this Also still very good.

Some of the younger children were still greedy at this time and ate the meat with relish. They had no rules at all, but Chen Feng didn't criticize them either. Those who are older than the Chinese New Year are not suitable for teaching about family education and rules.

"Sit down~"

After Chen Feng sat down on everyone, his wife, concubine, and children sat down one after another. After Chen Feng moved his chopsticks, everyone started to move their chopsticks one after another.

When the family is too big, rules are very important.

Chen Feng looked at the food on the table. Noodles, dumplings, and glutinous rice balls were three essential dishes. The salmon from Qianhe City, chicken stewed with ginseng from the northern border, braised pork in brown sauce, pork ribs with taro, roasted whole lamb, etc. A lot.

In addition, seafood is indispensable here, such as sea fish soup, sea fish slices, conch, steamed sea fish and so on.

In addition, a few concubines from Europe also presented delicacies from their respective hometowns to everyone. Charcoal-grilled steak is naturally indispensable. The craftsmanship of the concubines is not bad. The steak is grilled very well, and Chen Feng also likes it very much.

Sausages, pizza, bread, fried octopus slices, charcoal-grilled shells, tomato and egg soup, etc., make the big Eight Immortals table almost unable to fit.

The concubines also thoughtfully paired wine for Chen Feng. The daughter red brought from Daming was served in a porcelain bowl, and the Mediterranean wine from Europe was served in a glass wine glass. When we are together, it is intoxicating.

The whole process of eating the New Year's Eve dinner is silent, and it is also a rule not to speak during the meal.

Even the children in the family were eating silently at this moment. Chen Feng ate slowly, because if he put down his chopsticks, everyone would follow suit and couldn't eat any more.

This New Year's Eve, of course, you can't be too polite, let the children eat happily.

Seeing that everyone had eaten enough, Chen Feng put down his chopsticks, and everyone quickly finished the New Year's Eve dinner, and the concubines were busy removing the food and cleaning the table.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time for the summary meeting.

"Master, the harvest in the field this year is very good. The wheat and corn are enough for our family to eat for decades. The price is too low, so I didn't sell them. I plan to build a pig farm and raise some pigs next year."

Mrs. Wang was the first to report the family situation to Chen Feng. She was usually in charge of all the big and small matters in the family, and took care of the fields with the concubines.

"Don't build a pig farm. This is the Golden Continent, and it's not the home of our Ming Dynasty. There are many pastures here, and the prices of cattle and sheep are very low. It is estimated that raising pigs is also a loss."

"I remember Ma'am, the wine you make is very good. Why don't you use the surplus grain to make wine, maybe you can sell it for some money."

Chen Feng thought for a while and said.

"Listen to you, master, the wine here in Huangjinzhou is still very easy to sell."

After listening, Wang also nodded in agreement.

"Do you have anything to say?"

After talking to his wife, Wang Shi, about the family arrangements for next year, Chen Feng looked at his twenty or so concubines. There were too many women, and sometimes it was a headache, and it was easy to get their names wrong.

"No~"

The other concubines also shook their heads one after another.

They are still very satisfied with their current life, they don't have to worry about food and clothing here, and they live a comfortable life, which is much more comfortable than they used to be.

Perhaps the only trouble is that Chen Feng's time at home is relatively short, and there are too many women in the family, sometimes it is difficult to get his turn.

"If not, let's go."

Chen Feng nodded and looked at the night sky. The stars were shining brightly. From time to time, fireworks rising into the sky would be seen blooming gorgeous flowers in the sky.

"It's been seven years since I came to Huangjinzhou, and I don't know what's going on in my hometown. I really want to go back and have a look."

At this moment, Chen Feng felt homesick, even though he was living comfortably in Huangjinzhou, with a large group of wives and children, and he had his own fields, property, etc.

But the nostalgia in the bones of Daming people is always lingering. From time to time, they will think about their hometown, and want to go back and see every detail of their hometown.

However, the Golden Continent is too far away from Daming, and it is really not easy to go back and forth. Many people never go back after coming to the Golden Continent, and Chen Feng is the same.

It can only be communicated by letters, even if it is letters, it can only be communicated two or three times a year.

"Sir, it's time to rest."

Chen Feng fell into deep thought, but the concubines at home were very busy. After cleaning up, they took the time to wash the incense. As the night got later, some concubines came to remind them with a blushing face.

"I know~"

When Chen Feng heard this, he couldn't help rubbing his waist immediately. After returning home, his waist was so sore, and more than twenty women couldn't get enough to eat.
