Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Since there are still a lot of these things in the mansion, and they are not expensive, then please, grandma, cook some more later and send some to the servants and maidservants in the mansion."

"It doesn't need to be too many. We have a lot of people in the house. One person can divide two or three. It's enough to make a good fortune."

"There are also several generals in the barracks, the sister of the Qiao family... and the father-in-law, the little prince Liu Xie and the concubine Fushou, Ma Jun, Fazheng, Kuai Qi and others..."

"You can discuss the specific quantity with the steward. Don't miss anyone. Give them some. It's a way for them to try something new."

……

After all, Zhang Yan seemed to feel that it was not tasty enough, so he thought about it again, and simply waved his hand, intending to popularize this thing thoroughly.

……

"That's right! And...Grandma, when you are free in the next year, I will compile a copy of the making method of this dumpling and send it to the Qiao family."

"You came from the palace, so writing and drawing shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"After sending the copy to the Qiao family, I will simplify the existing process."

"For example, replace expensive mountain mushrooms with cheap bamboo shoots, replace mutton with pork, or even chicken."

"In short, it is to reduce the cost of these dumplings, so that ordinary people from ordinary families can afford to eat them occasionally."

……

"Wait until the next year... the prefect will ask the people in the Propaganda Department to work harder to make this a festival custom, especially a New Year custom, and implement it directly from the upper level to the grassroots people's lives!"

"By next year's New Year's Eve, I want the whole city of Anhui, even the whole of Lujiang, to make dumplings together!"

……

It's a very short roll, and it's over in a few swipes.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written more than a dozen chapters like this, it’s a very easy one~

Chapter 1 New Year's Day

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yan was awakened by the continuous sound of firecrackers.

……

After last night's experiment, the new type of firecrackers made of gunpowder—that is, firecrackers—quickly received the unanimous approval of Zhang Yan's whole family.

It happened that in the middle of the night yesterday, the servants had nothing to do, so they used Zhang Yan's leftover saltpeter, sulfur and other materials to make a lot of firecrackers.

No, not long after the sun was up in the early morning, the energetic servant got up first, cheerfully compiled the firecrackers saved last night into strings, and hung them on the wall not far from the door according to Zhang Yan's instructions. superior.

The newly made firecrackers are no longer limited to the shell of the bamboo tube, but instead use a paper tube of the same size for safety and convenience, and for celebration, the outside of the paper tube is painted red...

If Zhang Yan had been here, at first glance, he would have felt that the firecrackers were no different from the "Wanxiang Dadihong" used by his family for the New Year when he was a child.

……

But since it was in the Eastern Han Dynasty... Wan Xiang definitely didn't have to expect too much.

The "firecrackers" weaved together are each composed of more than 200 individual firecrackers.Using the calculation method of later generations, it is a gadget that unifies the "two hundred rings".

Although these two hundred rings can only be regarded as toys in later generations, they are indeed big treasures in today's Eastern Han Dynasty.

Dozens of servants in the whole mansion have been busy for half the night, and they will fill hundreds of thousands of small firecrackers.

……

"preparation--"

"put!"

……

The person in charge of lighting the fire was naturally the most daring and careful servant in the entire mansion.

I saw these experienced gunpowder players covering their ears one by one, and slowly approaching the fuse in the other hand towards the lead wire at the bottom of the firecracker with excitement on their faces.

As soon as the fuse was ignited, a large group of idlers turned into birds and beasts, either hiding behind walls and rockery, or standing far away like those maids, covering their ears with their hands.

After a while, a crackling sound like a violent explosion sounded at the gate of the Marquis Mansion. While waking Zhang Yan up, the people around couldn't help but stick out their heads curiously, and walked to the street, wanting to see what it was so……

It was so exciting, but it was able to make such a dense and frightening sound like thunder.

……

As for Zhang Yan...

He was a little speechless.

……

From his previous life, he didn't like the kind of neighbors who set off firecrackers to blow up people just after dawn on the New Year's Eve.

Because of his work, every opportunity to sleep in with peace of mind is hard-won... To be woken up by the continuous sound of firecrackers, no one will be in a good mood.

Even now, he never imagined that even in the Eastern Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, he would one day be caught by this kind of...

Waking up to this annoying thing.

……

But what can he do?

……

He taught the servants how to make firecrackers.

He also taught these people how to make hundreds of small firecrackers and weave them together with fuses and set them off at the same time.

To put it more seriously, last night he personally ordered those servants who got up early to guard the courtyard to set off two firecrackers at the gate of the Hou Mansion in the early morning when there are few people on the road, to drive away evil spirits...

……

Squinting his eyes and sighing, Zhang Yan turned over on the bed, hugged the flannel ball beside him, and squeezed it lightly twice.

……

Well, you can't live by doing your own crimes.Judging by the appearance of this group of people, I'm afraid they won't stop until they make a fuss for an hour or two.

He sleeps so late, I'm afraid he won't be able to continue to sleep.

……

Reluctantly getting up, Zhang Yan looked at the sunshine outside the window.

Well, probably just after the hour of the morning, around nine o'clock in the morning.

……

"These guys... are really hardworking."

"I obviously slept so late last night..."

"Hey, could it be that I'm really old and can't survive the night?"

……

With a sad sigh, Zhang Yan just wanted to say something.

But the flannel ball on the side slowly opened, revealing a small head.

"Hmm... Husband, don't make trouble, I'm so tired..."

"Let me sleep a little longer..."

……

Some delicate voices came out, making the corners of Zhang Yangang's mouth, which was about to fall, rise at an angle that did not conform to Newton's law.

……

"Well...it seems that I'm not old yet."

"hey-hey."

……

Laughing softly, Zhang Yan stopped procrastinating, but turned over and got out of bed, stretched vigorously, yawned again, and finally expelled the sleepiness.

Afterwards, he grabbed a coat from the wall and wrapped it up for himself. He didn't wear a bun or a hat, and with his hair loose, he slowly walked towards the outside of the house.

……

"My lord, happy new year!"

……

"Hehe, happy new year..."

……

As soon as he went out, the servants and maids who saw him greeted Zhang Yan with a very enthusiastic gesture.

After all, the new year has just passed, and the new year has just begun, and everyone's face is full of rare ease and comfort.

Even the lowest servants and waiters are no exception.

……

After simply eating two mouthfuls of porridge and pickles for breakfast, Zhang Yan seemed to want to go out for a walk.

But before he reached the door, he was pulled back by several older servants who were usually responsible for coordinating the housework.

"Hey, Master, please don't go out, Master!"

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. As the head of the family, you have to take the lead in offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall!"

"No matter what big event there is, it can only be done after the ancestral hall is enshrined!"

……

"If Zhang Changshi and his old man know that you ran out early in the morning without preparing anything...then he will have to skin us all!"

……

Yes, he smiled helplessly. After Zhang Yan heard the words of these old slaves, even though he felt a little reluctant in his heart, he still stopped and consciously returned to the main hall.

Those old slaves were right: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and sacrifices must be performed.
