Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 83

The New Year in the Ming Dynasty was quite lively. After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year became stronger every day.At the end of the new year, it is very lively to send off the Kitchen God, ask people to write couplets, and clean up the dust.

On New Year's Eve, the housewives serve the prepared "sacrificial dishes" to the table early. Before the reunion dinner begins, they must respectfully invite their ancestors to have a meal and report on their harvest and experience for a year.

Chinese people are all worshipers of ancestors, so during the year, activities of worshiping ancestors are held during Qingming Festival, July [-]th, Winter Solstice, and New Year's Eve.

Before the reunion dinner, offering sacrifices to ancestors is a very serious and grand activity.

A piece of fish, a bowl of braised pork, green vegetables and tofu are essential dishes in the ancestor worship.Of course, when times are bad, some eggs are used instead of meat dishes. In a word, as long as there is a way, everyone will sacrifice the best things to their ancestors.

The dishes after the sacrifice must also be added to the reunion dinner table, and having fun with the ancestors is also a manifestation of filial piety.Furthermore, years of low productivity cannot be wasted.

After finishing these, return the sacrificial dishes to the pot, and when they are served on the table, it means that the New Year's Eve dinner has officially started.

The family sat down, Zuo Dayou seemed a little excited.What an honor it is to think that a small military officer can eat at the same table with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Although the prince now only wants to be a hermit, but in his heart, if he is a king for a day, he will be a king for life. The boundary between monarch and minister is clear in Zuo Dayou's heart, and it will not change with Zhu Cihong's downfall.

He raised a glass of wine and said, "My lord, I offer you a glass of wine and wish you well."

Zhu Cihong held up the lamp, said with a light smile, "Uncle, don't do this, we are all one family, just call me Dalang."

"Yes Yes."

Zuo Dayou said yes, but he didn't dare to call Zhu Cihong Dalang, he just raised his head and drank the wine, then smiled foolishly.

Seeing the corners of her eyes twitching, Liu Runiang hurriedly picked up a piece of wishful dish with the shared chopsticks and said, "Nephew, this is our Jiangnan custom. We eat four-season wishful dishes in the new year, and you will be happy all year round. How much are you doing?" Eat some."

It's still a cheap girl who can see clearly.

If the attitude towards Zhu Cihong is too special, it will easily reveal his identity.

Zhu Cihong knew this better than anyone else.So he accepted Liu Runiang's blessing with a smile, and raised his glass at the same time: "Jing Auntie is in good health, and everything goes well."

"Father, mother, brother, the food will be cold if you pay respects like this! Grandfather is old and can't stand hunger."

Father Liu chuckled, patted Zuo Fu on the head lightly, and said, "Debt collector, are you hungry or am I hungry? You used me as an old man as an excuse."

Zuo Fu made a grimace, and said: "The reunion dinner should be eaten happily, and the one who is full is the greatest wish!"

As Zuo Fu said, he picked up the common chopsticks and picked up a piece of lotus root and meat for his grandfather, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I made this, you can try it."

"Okay, Fu'er is sensible now and can cook, let the old man come and taste my baby's cooking."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "My craftsmanship is good!"

As he spoke, he picked another piece for Liu Runiang and Zuo Dayou, and finally got another piece for Zhu Cihong, and said with a smile: "Elder brother, try it too."

Zhu Cilang smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sister."

It has to be said that the royal education left a deep imprint on Zhu Cihong, and the royal demeanor was fully displayed in every move, which made Zuo Fu secretly click his tongue.

No wonder there is an old saying that three generations cultivate a nobleman. The so-called nobleman refers not only to the material, but also to the spiritual.People like Zhu Cihong who have been educated by the royal family since childhood, even if they are down and out, are still difficult to ignore in the crowd. Things like temperament are really not something that you can have, it is something that comes from the inside out, and it cannot be ignored. imitated.

After eating the meal with the utmost joy, Zhu Cihong also had a smile in his eyes.For the first time since fleeing, he felt so happy.

The Qianhu Institute is running well, and the new refugees can be quickly converted into a source of soldiers, and Zuo Dayou is following the route of elite soldiers. He doesn't know how these refugees will be trained, but it depends on the weapons and equipment sent by Chief Qingyi. He dared to say that unless the artillery was pulled out, this team would be unrivaled in the world!

The invulnerable armor, the extremely sharp big knife, the extremely weird three-edged spear, and the innumerable food...

These are the spiritual pillars of a team. With such a team in hand, his life is guaranteed.So, listening to Zuo Dayou's report, I was really happy in my heart. I raised my glass five or six times, and after drinking a pot of wine, I said emotionally: "Uncle, I will rely on you from now on."

Zuo Dayou rubbed his hands at a loss and said, "Master, you are serious, this is what I should do."

After a pause, he said happily: "When the spring begins, the transfer should come down. When we go to Qiongzhou, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, so we don't have to worry about being afraid anymore."

Zhu Cihong nodded, "Although Qiongzhou is a place of exile, it is also a place where the literary style is at its peak and the Confucianism is flourishing. I think there must be something to do."

Liu Runiang frowned slightly, cast a glance at Zhu Cihong, lowered her eyes, and whispered: "As long as we can keep you safe, our Zuo family will live up to the late emperor."

Talking about the late emperor's atmosphere, Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "Today is thirty, let's not talk about sad things, come, uncle, let me toast you again."

"Yes, son..."

"Ding, new year, new weather, dear Taobao shopkeeper, happy new year. To thank you for your hard work over the past year, Time and Space Taobao will send a New Year's gift package in 3 minutes, please pay attention to check it."

The sudden sound made Zuo Fu tremble, Liu Ru Niang was keenly aware of it, and asked: "Fu'er, what's the matter?"

"No, nothing."

Zuo Fu shook his head again and again, stood up, and said: "Father, mother, brother, my stomach hurts..."

"Let you be greedy and eat more."

Liu Runiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Go quickly."

"Yes!"

Zuo Fu hurriedly exited the main hall and walked towards his bedroom.

Fortunately, the servants are having a reunion dinner today, so no one asked on the way to the bedroom.

Entering his bedroom, closing the door, sitting on the bed and opening Taobao, seeing that there were about thirty seconds left, he let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his head, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, girl Be witty, or it will be bad."

"Ding! The New Year's gift package is about to be sent, please pay attention to the host to check it."

After the words fell, Huaguang flashed, and a big box appeared in front of Zuo Fu.After she opened the box, she was dumbfounded when she saw what was inside.

What the hell? !What kind of operation is sending a big bag of aunt's towels over? !
Flipping through the box, the expression on his face became more and more weird: Can Time and Space Taobao detect the gender of each shopkeeper?
In addition to the aunt's towel, there are various skin care products and cosmetics in the box. There are more than a dozen colors of lipstick and lip gloss. As for eye shadow...

Zuo Fu looked at the huge three-layer eyeshadow and rouge palette, and fell into a daze: This is going to be used in the year of the monkey...
