Datang Longya

Chapter 229

Compared to Er Gouzi and Long Ying who were deserted in their youth, Leng Feng and the others had a very lively life. In the morning, after Leng Feng personally led the team for morning exercises, he went out with them to buy ingredients. A thousand and two hundred dragon tooth troops shuttled around The streets and alleys of Gaozhou startled the people of Gaozhou at first.

The morning exercises of the Dragon Tooth Army must be fully armed, and all the weapons on their bodies must be used, so although they are shopping, they still carry weapons.

For example, Li Erniu, with thick armor and a mace half as tall as a man, looks like a demon god. He looks more like a robber than a buyer.

After giving the goods to Li Erniu and the others, the common people waved their hands and said they didn't want money.But Li Erniu and the others are good soldiers who abide by the law. Besides, in order to get them some pocket money, the boss has often blackmailed that old fellow Feng An.

Throwing the scattered silver on the stall, Li Erniu walked back carrying the three bags of rice, and the brothers who followed him also carried two bags each. Although dumplings were made tonight, they were not enough to fill them up. Just prepare some rice. The rice sold here tastes really good, even better than the rice in Chang'an. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I have to prepare some.

San Gouzi used to be a butcher's apprentice, and thought he was the most familiar with cattle, so he brought a large sum of money to buy cattle for his brothers.

Before noon, he led a dozen cows back to the camp. After the new year, he stopped killing animals. From now on, the brothers will have to live without meat.

The folk customs in Lingnan are simple and simple, and only large-scale transactions require silver, such as rice, buffalo, and vegetables, which need to be bartered.

Liu Shuwen was very familiar with the girls in that village, so she gave them gold hairpins instead, and finally gave each of them a silk handkerchief in exchange for several loads of wild vegetables. As for the fat bird on the handkerchief, I will skip it.

Although Lingnan's alcohol content is low, it turns into high-alcohol alcohol when it is put on the steamer, which amazed Feng An, who was watching from the sidelines.

With so many people in the Dragon Tooth Army spending a lot of money on eating and drinking during the Spring Festival, Leng Feng also told Feng An the method of steaming wine.

It is impossible for Changan people to come to Lingnan to do business, so with this technology, Feng An has the right to sell high-quality wine in all regions of Lingnan.

What's more, Gao Gaojiu is further improved by alcohol. The formula of Sun Simiao's Baiyao was sealed by Li Shimin's order, and Leng Feng couldn't find it. Alcohol is also useful to the Lingnan army.

At noon, the cattle were slaughtered, and then the stuffing was chopped to make dumplings. The dumplings didn't come out of the pan until it got dark.

A bonfire party was enough to make Li Erniu and the others go crazy. After shouting "except for the boss, whoever is not drunk is the grandson", Li Erniu was overwhelmed by the wave of toasts.

Drinking and gambling, which are strictly prohibited by the army, lose their meaning on this day. This is a complete carnival in a foreign land.

Even Leng Feng, who had Li Erniu and San Gouzi as shields, was almost forced to lose his way.

So when Leng Feng woke up the next morning, he had a splitting headache!

After all, his process of making high alcohol is more like making alcohol. Although it tastes good and tastes good, he will suffer from headache the next day.

Because of drinking, Liu Shuwen drove Leng Feng to Li Erniu's room to sleep together, fearing that he would hurt the child by drinking madly.

There was a knock on the door, through the screen window, Leng Feng vaguely thought it was Feng An, so he said please come in.

There was a sound of pushing the door, and it was indeed Feng An who walked in.

Feng An didn't drink with Longya Army last night, so he looked radiant, at least much better than the sickly Leng Feng.

"Hahaha, Duke Xi, happy new year! I invited you to participate in the Flower Street Fair. You are new to Lingnan, and you don't know that there will be a Flower Street Fair here in Lingnan!"

"Ah?" Leng Feng counted the days, and he was right, 23 was yesterday!Today should be 24, is Feng An too confused?

"Mr. Feng, are you being too confused? Yesterday was the young year!"

Feng Ang laughed loudly: "Duke Xi doesn't know that the New Year's Day in the north is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, while the New Year's Day in the south is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Oh!" Leng Feng lowered his head, only to realize that he was only wearing a pair of shorts, while Feng An was saying "Guo Gong" and "You" in one mouthful, which was obviously a business-like nature, so he hurriedly got up: "Gong Guogong, next time Excuse me, change your clothes now!"

Feng Ang nodded, and with a wave of his hand, several attendants came in and placed pots of kumquats around the room. The small oranges hung on the bushes like small lanterns, and the fragrance of the oranges After a while, the smell of alcohol in the room was driven away.

Leng Feng put on his clothes a few times, and followed Feng An out the door. As soon as he went out, he was shocked. He saw pots of orange trees on both sides of the road around the guest room, and there were pots of orange trees every four or five steps. spectacular.

Feng An pointed to the orange trees and said: "We in the south celebrate the new year, it's better to have a pot of orange trees or peach trees. The old man's yard is full of peach trees, but there are no orange trees, so I brought some here."

Leng Feng curled his lips secretly, Feng's is indeed the first one in Lingnan, other people's houses put pots, his house simply put them everywhere.

The door of Liu Shuwen's room was still tightly closed, and she couldn't be absent from the flower street, so Leng Feng knocked on the door to wake her up. After Liu Shuwen opened the door, several maids moved orange trees into the room of Leng Feng and his wife.

This is the same as planting dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival, which means good luck and good luck, and drives away bad luck.

Feng An had a conversation with Leng Feng just now, the sound of Leng Feng getting dressed did not wake up Li Erniu and the others, but the smell of oranges woke them up. Li Erniu, Li Sanniu, and San Gouzi all put on their clothes and staggered away. He came out and followed Leng Feng as a guard.

Seeing how eager they were to fall to the ground and sleep, Leng Feng felt that it was more likely that he would protect them by himself.

After leaving Gengguo Gong's mansion, I saw flowers on both sides of the road. These flowers were raised by the people of Gaozhou or dug from the mountains, and they were placed on both sides of the road for passers-by to watch.

Not long after Feng An pacified the Tan Palace, he protected the people in Lingnan, so there were flowers outside the gate of Duke Geng's mansion, and from time to time, people who had just arrived would visit the gate of Duke Geng's mansion with flowers.

Feng An looked at the flowers at the door and said with a smile: "The purpose of visiting Flower Street is to drive away bad luck and usher in good luck. It seems that the people of Gaozhou don't want me to be unlucky!"

Leng Feng curled his lips: "Now you are a figure like the protector of Lingnan. You take the lead in the war, and you also vigorously encourage births and land reclamation. You just turned the wilderness in Lingnan into half wilderness. There will definitely be a place for you in the history books in the future."

Speaking of this matter, Feng An was very happy, and took Leng Feng to the street.
