Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

Chapter 213 Chapter 213
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the festive atmosphere in Xu Cheng became stronger.

Red lanterns had already been hung outside the door of the princess's mansion, and Guo Shun took people from door to door to deliver red lotus lanterns for blessings, which could be lit at the end of the year until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The red lotus lantern is made of iron, made into a lotus shape, painted with red paint, and painted by a craftsman. It is very cute. There is a lamp holder in the middle, covered with a windproof lampshade, and hung at the door. It is beautiful and festive.

Twenty red candles were sent along with the red lotus lantern.

It is worth mentioning that the original papermaking workshop has not only expanded in size, but also in fineness. However, the raw materials for papermaking are not easy to come by due to the ice and snow, so production was discontinued early, but the previous stocks are still sufficient.

The price is not high.

So every household bought a lot of red paper for cutting window grilles, pasting lanterns, and writing couplets, and the whole Xucheng was full of joy.

When Song Qingzhai came back, it was just in time for the massacre at the end of the year. Fifty pigs, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and two hundred chickens, ducks and geese were slaughtered.

Those who should be dispersed, and the rest were sent to the princess mansion.

Because Song Qingzhai and all the generals are here to celebrate the New Year, the needs are really not small.

Mother Wen needs to process the meat in advance, most of them are made into semi-finished products, and a small part is left for temporary use.

The processed meat is sent to the underground warehouse, and ice is placed in the warehouse, which can be stored for a long time.

When it comes to storing ice, Mother Wen is very particular. She doesn't want people to fetch ice from the river. Instead, she asks people to hoop a dozen large wooden barrels. After washing them, boil water and pour them in, and put them outdoors to freeze. Afraid of falling into the dust, the bucket was covered with a lid.

In the underground warehouse, there is a large pond painted with mortar, which is as big as two rooms, and it is also cleaned. It is used to store ice.

Hammers and chisels are also used for ice extraction, but anyone who comes to extract ice must wear brand new cotton gloves and overshoes, both to protect themselves from injury and to prevent the ice from getting dirty.

The people of Song Qingzhai came to the princess's mansion amidst the laughter of the residents of Xucheng. When they looked up and saw the red lanterns hanging on the gate of the mansion, Hu Lie couldn't help sighing: "The princess is a big hand, and lanterns are hung on the gate."

A general curled his lips and said sourly: "Oh, I don't know how many people still don't have enough to eat."

Song Qingzhai originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard that the smile disappeared immediately, he turned his head and found the speaker precisely: "Su Wang, say it again."

Su Wang felt that the general king's eyes were colder than this weather, so he shrank his neck involuntarily, and said in a low voice, "The last general, the last general...the last general didn't say anything."

Zhang Dai beside him said flatly: "Su Wang, everyone's ears are honed on the battlefield."

Su Wang's face turned pale, "My lord, the last general... The last general is telling the truth, just sighing casually."

Song Qingzhai stood at the door of the princess's mansion and said loudly: "Everything the princess owns is earned with her own hands and feet, and she eats with her own ability, and the food is nicer and richer, so what's wrong?
"The people all over the world are displaced, and they don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Is it caused by her?

"She could have lived in the capital with rich clothes and fine food, and a high bed to warm her pillow, instead of coming to this bitter cold place! What is she coming for?!

"Su Wang, I know that you have a small fortune. When you let your family build a house and buy fields, have you ever thought about how many people can't live in a house or eat?

"Have you ever thought about giving away all your wealth to help the poor people? Don't talk about all your wealth, let you give everything you have at this moment, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!"

Song Qingzhai's voice was even colder, "Why do you ask others to do things you can't even do yourself!"
