Chapter 116
Zhou Tong had made a promise with the owner of the Wangjiazhuang, so even if his apprentices were gone, he would not leave without breaking his promise. At this time, he heard that Sun Xin asked him to be a teacher on the Zhuangzi, but he didn't answer right away, he just nodded and said: : "Let's talk about it after a year."

Sun Xin didn't ask any more questions. Today he brought his own Sun Ji's distilled wine, the best batch specially selected. This batch of wine has been stored in the estate for two years. The taste is mellow and not spicy, very Good taste, but also very appetizing for warriors like Zhou Tong and Luan Tingyu.

The three of them pushed and exchanged glasses for a long time, Zhou Tong pointed at the distilled wine and said with a smile: "I've also heard about the wine from your Sunjiazhuang, the price is really not low, I'm afraid the asking price for this bottle of wine today is worth half a month's worth of silver for me. ?”

Hearing Zhou Tong make fun of Sun Xin, he quickly answered, "This bottle is the old wine from my Sun family estate, and the asking price is a bottle of consistent money, so a small cup of this money in your hand, master, will cost dozens of dollars to sell. That's a lot of money."

Zhou Tong was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he looked at the baijiu in his hand and it really suited his taste.

The rice wine he drank in the past was so soft that he felt weak.

Sun Xin also saw what Zhou Tong was thinking, and said with a smile: "This wine will be served when you are full. You can drink more today if you are happy, but usually you need to be restrained. If the master likes it, I will bring a few more bottles to the master. "

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "I'm not used to drinking such expensive wine." This wine is more expensive than he imagined, so it's fine to accept a bottle from his apprentice, and he doesn't want to get a reputation for being greedy.

Several people drank [-]% of the big jar of wine, and Luan Tingyu wanted to pour the wine, but Zhou Tong snatched the bottle back and said, "This is Sun Xin's filial piety to me, won't you keep a drop for me?"

The two laughed loudly when they heard the words, while Zhou Tong became more serious, and put the mud seal on the mouth of the wine jar and said to Luan Tingyu, "I didn't know this wine was so strong before, but now I feel that the smell of it is not enough." Hold on, if you drink more, you will easily get distracted. Although it is good wine, there is no one that will not hurt your health. Therefore, this white wine is extinct and you can't drink more. Even if you drink rice wine on weekdays, you have to drink less. Think about it and enjoy yourself But you must not hurt your body, we martial arts practitioners are most afraid of being corrupted by wine and sex."

Both Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu nodded seriously, Zhou Tong was teaching them, and the master really practiced it, no wonder now that they are in their sixties but their bodies are still stronger than ordinary young people.

It was getting dark when the food and wine were full, and Zhou Tong had to keep two apprentices to stay, but Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu looked at it and knew that Zhou Tong was staying in this Wangjiazhuang. The apprentice stayed in the village, maybe it would make the master's family unhappy, so he said goodbye and left immediately.

After leaving Wangjiazhuang, Luan Tingyu asked Sun Xin on the way, "Master doesn't blame us this time."

Sun Xin thought that it was impossible for Luan Tingyu's eyesight to fail to see such a thing. He cared about it, but he was confused. He accompanied Zhou Tong for several years, and the relationship between him and Zhou Tong was actually stronger than that between Sun Xin and Sun Li. It was much deeper, and when Master got angry, it was very psychologically stressful for him.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "Brother, you only need to put your heart in your stomach, and Master will be fine here."

Luan Tingyu nodded reassuringly, and said again and again: "That's good, that's good."

When we returned to Zhuangzi, the whole Sunjiazhuang was filled with the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.

This year's farm work has ended, not to mention the first 50 or so farmers who had a good income, even the more than 100 new farmers who came to the village have received the silver package from Sun Xin, which is enough to have a warm and lively New Year.

So before I entered Sunjiazhuang, I saw a line in front of the mill on Jishang. I was reluctant to eat fine grains on weekdays, but even the stingiest people would want to take out the wheat in the warehouse to grind a few catties during this new year's festival. The thin white flour went back to make dumplings.

After entering Zhuangzi, you can see people slaughtering pigs and sheep every few times you pass by. There are also many Hakka women and children busily making bacon and fish. Some people put peanuts and the like on the shelves The big pot is placed in the yard to stir fry and dry the preserved fruit, ready to be offered in front of the Stove Lord or used to entertain guests during the New Year.

The prosperity of Sunjiazhuang this year can be seen in the New Year's offerings.

In ordinary farmers’ homes outside, most of the table on New Year’s Day is sesame, fried wheat and some homemade dried fruit. With the popularity of peanut cultivation in the past two years, some people will also put peanuts, but they are all cheap. s things.

But it is different when you arrive at Sunjiazhuang. Whenever you enter any house, you can see jujubes, peanuts and fragrant sesame candies and peanut candies on the table.Therefore, children who are relatives are willing to come to Sunjiazhuang. They all know that the people in Sunjiazhuang are rich and have a lot of delicious food at home.

When Sun Xin returned to his small courtyard, he saw Hu Sanniang busily discussing making sesame candies.

Back in this era, Sun Xin felt that the Chinese New Year atmosphere of this era was much stronger than that of later generations. From the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, many women would gather together to make sesame candy.

This thing is very troublesome. Generally, women in the family have no way to make it independently, and it is too much effort to make only a small batch, so several families make it together. For Hu Sanniang, it is easy to make some sesame candy at home. But as the mistress of the Sun Family Village, what she wanted in her heart was to show a little attitude of winning over the female relatives, so she invited several women from nearby families to cooperate in making sesame candy.

I saw Hu Sanniang holding a meeting with several women living nearby in a serious manner, carefully discussing with each household how many catties of sesame candy to make this year, how many buckets of wheat each family will produce on average, whose family will germinate the malt, and where Home steaming, who will continue to make "rice slices", "sesame slices" and "peanut slices" after making sesame candies.All this matter must be divided among families, so as to avoid confusion at that time.

Sun Xin asked Ya'er to fetch a basin of water to wash her feet, and after sitting for a while, Hu Sanniang came into the room.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "You are patient. Every household will give us this sesame candy when the Chinese New Year comes. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it all this year."

Hu Sanniang gave Sun Xin a cloth towel, "Since every household makes it, we naturally have to make some, otherwise we will be separated from the dealers if they look at us from outside."

Sun Xin lowered his head and wiped his feet, Hu Sanniang asked Sun Xin, "Did you drink with Master today?"

"The old man has some resentment in his heart. It was this drink that made him happy today, and there will be nothing else in the future."

Hu Sanniang also became happy when she heard the words: "This is the best."

As soon as Sun Xin rolled his eyes, he lifted the quilt and got into the kang, "Go to sleep."

Hu Sanniang blushed a little, and sat down on the side of the bed. The two couples were clasping their little hands and planning to get close, when suddenly they heard the little fat man outside crying.

Sun Xin's face turned dark immediately, "Where did Ya'er go? I don't care about the child!"

"I'm afraid Xiaopang is hungry. Don't make trouble, I'll go and see the child."

Making a playful face with Sun Xin, Hu Sanniang hurriedly tied up her long hair that had just been let down, stepped on her embroidered shoes and went to the outhouse.

 It's clear, tomorrow it will still be [-]:[-] in the morning and evening, and it will be updated at [-]:[-] noon.
