Chapter 377 New Year's Gift
"The wealth of Ming Dynasty is far beyond the imagination of Chinese people."

Looking at the fiery trees and silver flowers in the sky, Kiji came to a conclusion.

After dinner, at eight o'clock, fireworks were lit outside Qiongzhou city.

The splendor of modern fireworks fascinates Qiongzhou people and shocks Japanese people.

The government just wants to make the people happy, but spends a lot of money to set off fireworks for the people to see. What kind of country is this!

Fireworks are not low consumption, and this is the same in later generations.Of course, the price of fireworks at this time is definitely more expensive than that of later generations.

Daming was so "rich" that he didn't dare to set off fireworks often, and only on major festivals, the capital would set up some fireworks to set off.And for barren Japan, setting off fireworks is simply a grand event!

A group of Japanese children and Ming children mingled together, shouting and laughing, bouncing around in a very harmonious manner.And a group of ronin also bought some wine and invited the neighbors to drink.

For a moment, everyone forgot each other's ethnicity and nationality, immersed in the New Year's atmosphere, and had fun to the fullest.

Yingzi put the baked rice cakes in a square box, sprinkled a layer of seaweed carefully, smelled the smell, and showed a gentle smile on her delicate face.

The adult's hometown is far away in Nanjing, and I heard that it is thousands of miles away from Qiongzhou.In these days of family reunion, I think that adult must miss his family very much, right?
I can't imagine it.

Back then, I just married from one village to another, and the distance was only twenty or thirty miles away, but I never thought of my parents and family and felt extremely lonely.As a woman, this lord is far away from her parents and relatives, and she came to this remote place, and with her frail body, she must be very sad to support the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, right?
This seaweed is made by myself, and the rice cake is also made by myself. I hope this food from a foreign country can attract her attention, so that it can alleviate the loneliness to some extent?

Self-brewed Japanese rice wine, hand-made sushi, a little sour radish...

Yingzi arranged the plates carefully, hoping to arrange all the ingredients as beautifully as possible, so that adults can look at them more comfortably.

After arranging all the ingredients and putting them in the food box, she changed into a new kimono, arranged her hair, and said, "Ananda, I'm going to give you a New Year's gift."

"I'll go with you."

"Haha, no need! Anada, have a drink with your friends. Qiongzhou is very safe. There are sun lights at night, so you don't have to be afraid when you walk."

"Oh Karsang, let me go with you."

Shunsuke held up the paper koi in his hand, "I also prepared a gift for the adults, and the koi will bring people good luck, right? Oh Kasang?"

Yingzi touched Junjie's head and said, "Yes. Then you can go with mother."

"Ok."

The mother and son went out of the house and saw many people watching the fireworks.She looked up for a while and said, "It's so beautiful!"

There were faint tears in his eyes, "Why doesn't Japan have such beautiful things?"

After being silent for a moment, he murmured again: "Why is there no daimyo as good as your lord? He is born noble and has an honorable status, but he treats people kindly and even goes to work with farmers. If the daimyo of the Hirado clan If you are like her, your mother-in-law will not die, and your parents will not die, right?"

Gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she tried her best to smile again, "Ah, ah, ah, what are you thinking? Yingzi? Today is the New Year's Eve, so don't say such depressing words anymore!"

After speaking, he took Junjie's hand, walked across the street, walked through the gate of the inner city, and headed towards the magistrate's yamen.

Daming had a curfew, but Zuo Fu felt that the curfew was too cheating and would affect economic development, especially now that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so she simply canceled the curfew.

The curfew was lifted, and the lives of the people in Qiongzhou were enriched.Especially Qiongzhou is still a city that never sleeps.

After more than half a year of hard work, we not only repaired many roads and built many walls, but also installed solar lights on all the main roads and shops in the city.

These lights will be turned on at night, illuminating the whole Qiongzhou brightly.With the improvement of street lighting facilities, Qiongzhou at night has become a scene.After many merchants who came to trade spread the news, many curious tourists also came and contributed to Qiongzhou's economic development.

Today is New Year's Eve, although the shops are closed, but because the government office comes out to set off fireworks from time to time, it still attracts a large number of people on the road to watch the excitement.

The men let their mothers-in-law bring out some cold dishes and some New Year's goods. With the bagged rice wine bought in Huimin Supermarket, they followed the wine orders and talked about the mountains. Life is really beautiful.

The daughters also stayed together, sharing the shopping strategy of Huimin Supermarket, talking about their parents' short stories, eating melon seeds, and feeling indescribably happy.

There is no snow in the twelfth lunar month, and there is no need to wear a big jacket. The moderate temperature and climate make Qiongzhou in the [-]th year a happy place to get together.

When Yingzi walked through the crowd holding the child's hand, someone always greeted her, and she always smiled back.

These Ming people are actually quite friendly.Although when they first came, these Ming people seemed to be somewhat hostile, but after working together for a few days, the hostility disappeared.

Although people in Daming live a simple life, they are very generous to others, which is completely different from people in their hometown.

People in my hometown always maintain a superficial politeness, but when it comes to interests, they become very calculating.

Probably too poor?

Yingzi watched Daming people share food with each other, thought about the people in his hometown, and came to such a conclusion.

and so……

Is it really as the adult said?Poor people are not noble.Because in front of poverty, survival is the first.In front of life, morality is difficult to be established.

Letting out a breath silently, not thinking about this complicated issue, he walked through the crowd with the greatest kindness and smile, and came to the prefect's yamen.

Today's magistrate's yamen is not open, but he is afraid that the people are in a hurry, so the magistrate will always leave a servant of his own to watch the door.

After knocking on the door, the door opened, and Yingzi said in very jerky Mandarin, "Here, here, sir. A New Year's gift."

She squatted down, put the food box and her son's koi on the ground, saluted again, and turned to leave.

The concierge was a little confused.

Although he had attended literacy classes, he hadn't learned pinyin, so he couldn't understand what the Japanese woman was saying.He opened the food box and saw that the food inside was beautifully arranged. After thinking about it, he understood the reason for the Japanese woman's visit.

He also knew this Japanese woman.It belongs to the Japanese leader Mu Er's family, who seems to be called Yingzi?

This reunion dinner is over, why are you still sending food?
Confused, he went to the magistrate's house and handed over the things to Zuo Fu.

"Madam Yamashita has been here?"

"It's from the house of the Japanese leader."

The servant opened the food box, "It seems to be food, and it looks really nice. I was wondering, is this a gift for you?"
