Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 92

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the new year's gift prepared by Ouyang Yiyun for Li Xiao's family finally arrived.

Li Xiao's family looked at the two carts full of things and suddenly felt that the gifts they gave them were really too shabby.

Li Dashan wanted to stay with the convoy responsible for delivering gifts and have a good lunch, but the other party said he was in a hurry to rush back, so he gave up.

Fortunately, since the Chinese New Year was coming soon, I bought a lot of cakes and gave some to the team to eat on the road.

Fortunately, the cured meats prepared at home at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month were basically smoked and dried. The family took advantage of the time when the convoy was unloading things and drinking water to rest, and hurriedly prepared another carload of things.

All the tangerines on the trees were picked, and the remaining dry goods such as white fungus, dried vegetables, and dried beans at home were all loaded into the car.

We didn’t pack live chickens and ducks this time, but we packed some twenty cured chickens, more than a dozen cured ducks, and bacon and fish.

As soon as the car was loaded, the team members set off, leaving as quickly as they came.

Such a "big battle" was rare in the village. The neighbors only dared to watch silently from a distance. Only after the people left did they dare to step forward and say a few words to Li Dashan.

As a New Year's gift from the capital, all the cured meats prepared by Li Dashan's family were cleared out. Without the cured meats, the New Year's flavor would always be a little different.

So, Li Dashan's family hurriedly marinated the cured chicken, duck, bacon, and sausages, dried them naturally for two or three days, and then started smoking pine needles over a charcoal fire.

This twelfth lunar month should be a rare busy time for Li Dashan's family.

New Year's Eve was still lively and lively. They celebrated the New Year around the charcoal fire. The sleepy brothers and sisters took the New Year's red envelopes given by their parents and went back to the room to sleep, yawning all day long.

On the first day of the seventh year of the Dali calendar, almost everyone slept in.

Dinner was vegetarian porridge and vegetarian cakes. Anyway, this meal was vegetarian, so Li Xiao grabbed an egg and ate it.

After dinner, the brothers and sisters began to visit each other to pay New Year greetings.

Li Yuan and Li Dashan also took out candies prepared in advance and red envelopes wrapped in red paper.Nowadays, the family is not short of money. To seek good luck in the New Year, they will give a small red envelope to the children who come to pay New Year greetings. The money is not much, that is, two copper coins, but the children are very happy.

After receiving the red envelope, some even ran home and brought over their brothers and sisters who were one or two years old or who did not plan to go out.

Because Li Dazhuang and his family, who often help Li Dashan's family, have a lot of work in the fields this year, there is a high probability that they will not be able to work for Li Dashan's family.

In fact, not everyone in the village is a good worker, so Li Dashan naturally does not intend to spend money to hire people who are just messing around.

Six men who had worked before were invited to the village, and three men from neighboring villages were invited. The ten men began to work in the fields on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

When Li Qingbai was fifteen, he went out with Liuliu again. He heard that Liuliu was traveling with an escort he was familiar with.

In fact, running darts may not necessarily cause any problems. Liuliu wanted Li Qingbai to run more and see more while he was still young. This is very meaningful for the mental training of martial arts practitioners.

Li Xiao was very supportive of his second brother, and even tried to coax his parents when they were reluctant to let him go.

Throughout the first month, Li Xiao was busy reading various books brought back by his eldest brother. When he encountered something obscure, he would ask more questions while his eldest brother was at home.

Li Qingsong had to take the county examination for children in February, so as soon as the first month passed, Li Dashan hitched a bullock cart and planned to send him to the county.

From Dapo Village to the county, the ox cart takes four and a half to five hours. It sets off before dawn and it is already Shenshi.

This time, in addition to Li Qingzhu who was left to look after the house, Li Yuan and Li Xiao also came.

The four of them followed Shopkeeper Liu's instructions and went straight to Jixiang Restaurant when they arrived in the county.

The owner of Jixiang Restaurant in the county is named Wu. He is an old man in his late fifties. He warmly received the family of four.
