Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, and it was the time of the young year.

The small year is also regarded as the beginning of a busy year, from which people will begin to prepare New Year goods, sweep dust in their homes, and worship the god of Vesta in preparation for the upcoming New Year.

In Yangmei Town, every family began to get busy.

The women stayed at home and began to sweep up the dirt from the house. Children who like to play reluctantly follow the cleaning at the behest of the elders at home.

But they were playful by nature, but they just worked seriously for a while, and soon found fun in it and began to play and play.

The men went to the town’s market and began to buy New Year goods.

Although Yangmei Town is only a remote town, there are still more than a dozen small villages near the town.

As the New Year approached, the residents of these nearby villages and towns gathered in the market and began to use their savings from a hard year to buy their favorite New Year goods.

Merchants from all over the world came to set up markets in the town with all kinds of goods. Because there were

too many people attending the rally, there were not enough street markets in the town, so some merchants simply set up simple sheds on a flat piece of land outside the town and started open-air business.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan also took up his big back basket, which was filled with smoked bacon, and began to come to the market to set up a stall. The

bustling bazaar covered the open space outside the town, and countless people gathered inside, and the noise shook people’s ears.

Walking in the lively market, he found that there were all kinds of pavings here, snacks and tea, sewing fabrics, preserved fruits, wine and meat, couplet cutting…

All the New Year goods that can be used for the New Year can be seen here.

Lu Yuan turned around and found that most of the places in the market were already occupied, except for a few corners on the edge, and there were still some empty seats.

But even if there are these empty seats, there are those shrewd, who set up empty stalls in advance, and people do not sell goods, so they rent and sell these places.

You can rent it without renting, but there is no empty space in the market, and there is no place for you to put out your goods.

As for the robbery? These people can

do this business, of course, there are people behind, the biggest proprietor is the mayor of the town, can you fight them?

In this regard, in addition to secretly cursing “pickpockets” in his heart, Lu Yuan could only pinch his nose, pay a booth fee of fifty yuan, and start a business.

This year, he hunted a lot of fruit, not counting the hares and pheasants, just jackals, tigers and leopards and other large prey, no less than dozens.

In addition to fur, these prey also contributed up to two thousand pounds of bacon.

So much bacon, close to Lu Yuan himself, naturally can’t finish eating, and it will be broken if you stay for a long time, of course, you have to take this opportunity to take it out for money.

“Bacon, cheap and delicious bacon!”

After putting the meat brought from the back basket on the stall, he began to shout.

Soon, customers were attracted to them: “How do you sell this meat?”

Lu Yuan glanced at the customer, this is a simple dressed farmer, should rarely eat meat, at this time looking at the bacon drooling, smiled in his heart, and said: “This is bacon meat, fifty pounds.”

Hearing the price, the man was taken aback, and quickly pointed to the next target: “It’s too expensive, what about this?”

“This is wild boar, thirty pounds.”

“Is there a cheaper one?”

“Yes, this is wild yellow dog meat, ten dollars a pound.”

“Okay, that’s it, bring me two pounds.”

Looking at the customer who left with a hanging of meat, Lu Yuan’s first business was completed.

Perhaps because of the cheap sale, in the following time, people continued to come to visit the butcher shop.

After a while, those cheap fox meat, wild yellow dog meat, wolf meat, leopard meat, etc., were quickly sold out.

Even the expensive tiger meat was heard about by several big households in the town, and sent people to buy it.

This forced him to go home again, take out another batch of his inventory and continue to sell.

It took half a day, two thousand catties of bacon, and finally all of them were sold.

As for the remaining two hundred pounds of meat at home, Lu Yuan did not sell it, and planned to keep it for himself.

After all, the consumption of martial arts on the body is still very large, and sufficient meat supplements are needed.

One day’s business made Lu Yuan earn another forty-three taels of silver, and the deposit in his hand suddenly became one-fifth.

With a large amount of money, he is proud and proud.

After handing over the stall, he did not rush back, but walked around the market.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and I will soon usher in the second New Year after crossing into this world.

In the previous year, Lu Yuan was shy, and in order to save money and practice martial arts, a year passed in a hurry, which can be said to be extremely shabby.

But now that he has more than two hundred taels of savings, there is no shortage of money, so of course, he must treat himself well, and he can also be regarded as lonely. I

found a tea stall with a lot of people in the market, and all kinds of cheap and delicious delicacies were served, and while enjoying it, I listened to the bragging and farting around me, and a noon time passed.

After drinking and eating, Lu Yuan bought some preserved fruit couplets, fresh New Year goods, went to the town cloth shop, customized a few new clothes, agreed to pick them up in two days, and then returned home leisurely.

When he got home, he was not idle.

Since you have decided to have a good New Year, the atmosphere and things that should be done during the New Year must naturally be well manipulated.

Other people’s wives and children in the town help sweep the dust, so the morning hygiene is done, and now the whole family can make the New Year goods brought back by their husbands and fathers in the afternoon, and enjoy the festival happily.

But Lu Yuan is a bachelor, and no one helps with housework.

Therefore, after a busy morning, I couldn’t rest in the afternoon, so I had to clean up hard. Fortunately, he was alone, and there

was nothing at home, except for a few pieces of furniture, and because of frequent cooking, there were too many stains, and it was quite convenient to clean up.

It took an hour, and as the last basin of sewage arrived in the courtyard, Lu Yuan wiped his sweat and tasted his breath.

“It’s finally over.”

Turning his head to look at the rejuvenated room behind him, a smile appeared on his face.

Cleaning the house a few years ago and preparing for a clean and good year actually represents a beautiful meaning, leaving the old and welcoming the new, welcoming blessings, which is the simplest wish in everyone’s hearts.

With such a cleaning, although he was physically tired, Lu Yuan did feel that the depression in his heart was boring, as if he was also discharged with the dirt that was swept out of the house. “Although I am a

soul traverser in a foreign land, I now have a home of my own, I can earn money by hunting, and I have martial arts to practice, and I am immortal, and everything seems to be not so bad.”

He laughed, opened the door and looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes deep.

……

After the small year, it is Chinese New Year’s Eve.

It’s going to be Chinese New Year’s Eve night.

In order to make himself seem less lonely, Lu Yuan met Sun Siwen, and the two spent this New Year together.

With the wine and meat prepared in advance and two large food boxes, he came to Sun Shusheng’s house.

The reason why the New Year was spent at his house was mainly because Sun Siwen’s family was big enough.

His family was originally a small landowner in the town, with 100 acres of good land and a large mansion, with ten rooms. Unfortunately, in the end, the family business failed, and when it passed to his generation, he encountered a pit that could not get the fame of Xiucai even twelve times.

You know, the imperial examination is not a cheap thing, it is very expensive.

Every day, you need to buy books to study classics, spend pen, ink and paper to practice words, buy previous years’ question books to study the syllabus before the exam, and pay a large registration fee when applying for the exam.

After all, the pen, ink and paper provided to you by the examination room cannot be scraped out of thin air, and it is also bought with money.

Oh, right.

Today’s imperial examination also inherits the ancient selection system, if you want to register for the exam, you must have at least two talents jointly recommended to get that qualification.

Therefore, this referral fee is another expense.

“Brother Lu, you don’t know, I take the imperial examination every year, and I buy the imperial examination question book issued by the master before the exam, and it costs at least two hundred dollars for one copy. The

edict is in charge of the education of a county, and every year the questions of the county examination are all given by the edict and the county lord. The imperial examination

question book he issued usually contains some imperial examination questions for the next year, you say that all students who are interested in making a name for themselves, which one dares not buy it?

But the county’s edicts are too greedy, and every year there are three or five inscriptions. Just the money to buy the title book will cost one or two pieces of silver.

Coupled with the consumption of practicing calligraphy, practicing question books, and pen, ink and paper on weekdays, it costs two taels of silver a year.

The fee for reporting a name is 300 dollars.

And because I repeatedly failed to pass the exam, those classmates in the past were ashamed to be with me, and no one was willing to guarantee my nomination.

In order to qualify for the exam, I had to spend one or two silver or two per person and ask two old shows to vouch for me.

Every year during the imperial examination, the cost of accommodation in the county seat, and the assembly and communication with fellow Wen friends…”

Near late at night, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen pushed glasses to change lamps, and they were drunk.

Sun Shusheng seemed to have drunk a little too much, his face turned red at this time, and after drinking a glass of wine, he slammed the palm of the cup on the table, and said bitterly: “In the past year, I need eight taels of silver just to study for the imperial examination.”

If you count the previous year’s eating and drinking, it is more than ten taels. But I couldn’t make any money, so I had to sell my property to maintain my education. I

know what people out there think of me, they call me a loser, they say I’m incompetent.

Those classmates who called me brothers and brothers on the surface, they probably secretly mocked, despised, and did not want to interact with me at all.

Yes, a guy who has taken the exam twelve times and still can’t pass the Xiucai exam, who can see it?

Sun Siwen raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan in front of him, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes: “Only you, Brother Lu, are willing to sincerely communicate with me and learn words from me.” In my life, I probably only have such a friend as you.

Being stared at by sincere eyes, Lu Yuan’s face remained unchanged, but he was a little ashamed in his heart.

He is actually not as sincere as the other party says.

The main purpose of making friends with Sun Shusheng is to learn more about the high-end information in the hands of the other party, and then follow the other party to learn more.

Because as the study of the Convection Cloud Palm Method deepened, Lu Yuan found that with his existing knowledge, it was still somewhat difficult to understand this heart method.

The main reason is that the understanding of various ancient texts is not enough, and there are some dictionaries in the heart method, which are unique to this world. It is difficult to understand thoroughly based on his knowledge in past lives.

In this case, it is important to find a teacher who has a deep understanding of classical Chinese and is extremely familiar with various allusions.

Therefore, every time Lu Yuan brought wine and meat to drink with Sun Shusheng this year, it was not free, but the tuition paid.

The relationship between the two, in his opinion, actually belongs to drinking and meat friends.

“I just didn’t expect that Brother Sun would treat me as a confidant friend.”

In this regard, Lu Yuan didn’t know what to say.

It may be because the other party has suffered discrimination and contempt, which is too much. After a long time, my heart was affected, and I suddenly met such a friend who I didn’t dislike and could talk to, so I made friends all of a sudden.

“But having another real friend might not be a bad thing.”

Turning his head to look at Sun Siwen, who was already getting drunk, a smile appeared on his face.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festive season to think of family.

Crossing into this strange world alone, how could Lu Yuan not feel lonely and lonely.

The feeling that no one in the world can understand is really not so comfortable.

At this time, I can have one more friend to talk to, although I can’t tell the true secret in my heart, but just drinking and talking about fun on weekdays can also relieve the bitterness in my heart.

‘This friend, I recognized.

Lu Yuan whispered in his heart, and he heard Sun Siwen’s already somewhat confused drunken words.

“This time, I must be successful in the exam. I want those who look down on me to see that my Sun Siwen can also be a showman. I also want to test people, enter the jinshi, and glorify the ancestors. Father, mother…”

Muttering, the man had gone to sleep.

Just at this time.

Under the calm night outside, there were suddenly countless more lights, followed by a continuous crackling sound.

All the families who had surplus money at home pinched the point at this time and set off firecrackers.

It turned out that before you knew it, the Chinese New Year’s Eve had passed, and the new year had arrived.

Lu Yuan walked to the courtyard, looking at the long night sky, the bright moonlight hung high above, the glue-white brilliance fell down, and fell on the snow that had just been spread on the clean courtyard tonight, shining with a sparkling white light, dazzling.

“Lu Yuan, happy New Year.”

He whispered a New Year’s wish to himself, then smiled, picked up a firecracker that had been prepared in the courtyard, lit a fire and ignited it. A

crackling sound suddenly appeared in the courtyard, mixing with the thick sound of the outside world.

A peaceful and peaceful town that ushered in a new year. One thing is renewed

, and everything is renewed.

“Is Chinese New Year’s Eve night over?” Looking at the firecrackers in the

court, Sun Siwen didn’t know if he was woken up by the sound outside, and at this time he also came out in a daze, looking at the firecrackers that were being set off, and asked with a little confusion.

“yes, it’s the New Year.” Lu Yuan looked back with a smile.

“Is that so?” Sun Siwen muttered, then looked at him and said with a smile on his face: “Happy New Year, Brother Lu.”

Lu Yuan was stunned, and then smiled: “Happy New Year, Brother Sun.”

This year, after all, I am not alone, and there are people to accompany me.

I’m not alone.

He thought to himself.
