Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 43—The sound of firecrackers is one year old

Twenty-nine months, the night.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao were lying on the donkey. Two people were still lying next to the pomegranate. The three of them were blind and didn't sleep.

"Xiao Bao, tomorrow is the New Year, we are one year old, old age, do you have any thoughts?" Wang Hao couldn't sleep, and the eyes looked at the roof with the light in the house.

"There is no idea, I will pass it in the New Year. I have been used to it. You should lean against me, don't stick to the wall, the fire wall there is hot." Zhang Xiaobao did not sleep, thinking about other things, noon today, The news came from the place where the county magistrate of Sanshui County was located. The last cucumber has been sold for one hundred and fifty cents a kilogram. It is estimated that it will be sold in the afternoon.

This can be regarded as making money. There will be more than three hundred silver coins in the future. The cucumbers are not white, and the money for the grass curtains that are put into the back is only twenty-seven, eighty-two, ten times the profit. There are some other places on the Zhuangzi that are sent, not too little.

Wang Hao also felt that his side was hot. He moved to Zhang Xiaobao and said: "I didn't say anything about your thoughts about the New Year. I said that you have any thoughts on Zhuangzi next year. It is time to make a summary. Correct."

"Well, I have an idea. This year is a special year, a harmonious year. Under the efforts of all Zhuangzi people, Zhang and Wang Zhuangzi have achieved good results in spiritual civilization construction and material civilization construction. Zhuang has always been..."

"To tell the truth." Wang Wei saw Zhang Xiaobao to say such words, interrupted impatiently, she was listening too much, already numb.

"The real thing is too difficult, no money, next year, I have to think about some ways." Zhang Xiaobao estimated his own money, and some carrots can get a thousand eight or two silver, soy oil sold almost these days The hot sauce stopped just yesterday, and they were all bought by people who wanted to live for a good year.

On the whole, there are 1,600 and 780 cash in hand, and many people can't earn it in a lifetime. But this can't make you satisfied. You need to build a road next year, plan a place, and buy a lot. The things, plus the money of the government, can not be less, I heard that someone will check the land next year.

"Is that thought of it?" Wang Hao helped Zhang Xiaobao to smash the place in the neck.

Zhang Xiaobao himself moved. This is not good in the northwest. In the winter, it is smashing. It burns more people. The above is the cold wind. Both sides are sinned. The room is still lit with the stove to make the temperature rise. I can still feel that there is a stock that doesn't know where the wind comes from blowing around.

"Say, what good way to think of it?" Wang Hao urged.

"There is no other way. When everyone is busy in the spring, I am going to get a market in the place of Xiaoqiao. There are a lot of things in our warehouse. I will take out some of them every day and put them there for two Zhuangzi. People exchange, things exchanged can continue to exchange.

Everything must be priced by the people in our yard, exchanged with the same value, otherwise it will be supplemented with other money, and some people will come over at the neighboring Zhuangzi until then. ”

"At that time, you are going to collect taxes? Isn't that okay?" Wang Hao listened to Zhang Xiaobao when he said that little by little, and suddenly interjected.

"What kind of tax is collected? As long as the market is up, we have the pricing power, then we can get a lot of benefits. We can cover a few small warehouses and rent them to them. We provide protection. We can also get two small places in that place. Tea stalls or snack bars, how can you earn points, more money, and don't have to worry too much."

Zhang Xiaobao's voice gradually weakened, it seems to be sleepy, and it is almost the same.

Wang Hao seems to be infected in general, followed by a yawn, a sigh of his head, relying on Zhang Xiaobao also slept, just the topic was settled.

Pomegranate and clothes lay there, watching the young son finally fell asleep, got up and checked if the furnace that stretched out was smoking outside, sprayed some water on the connected place, see no bubbles appear. This is safe, turned and left the house.

I went out and looked at the two who were still sitting together reading the book. I told me to pay more attention to the stove at night, then I went back to lie down and fell asleep.

Sanshui County, the place where the county is located behind Tuen Mun.

Cheng Lingxiang took a nap in his arms and couldn't sleep for a while. He estimated how much help he could get from the cucumber that was sent out. He sold the cucumber for a few days. The news has already spread to the ears of the people, but there is no Anyone sent someone to ask, and the documents that were presented did not reply to the present, as if they were sinking into the sea.

"Master, the cucumber is delicious, don't give it to other people, let's stay." Cheng Lingxiang's little sly in the face still retains the rosy after the passion, and stretches out an arm, constantly on Cheng Lingxiang's body. Said moving.

Cheng Lingxiang brows a wrinkle "Women's Taoist people know what? Do not send, do not send me a future trip to find where? It is not easy to eat, tomorrow I send someone to send money there, then come back to cucumber."

Xiao Yan is also honest, no longer asks about this aspect of the matter. "It’s still a master. I sell a cucumber that is not worth the money to that price. Well, the other things are also very good."

This boast, Cheng Lingxiang touched the sleek body of Xiao Yan and was a little bit eager to move, one turned over and the passion appeared again.

Early the next morning, the people who sent out the Chengxian decree set off with the heavy silver. Today, there are so many people on the street. I want to take a morning and buy some things that I haven’t prepared yet. There are still people in the family who are not ready yet, and they are anxious to ask people to write.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao got up, the people in the house were busy, especially in the place where cucumbers were planted. The people in the yard took the cucumbers with dew and piled them aside, ready to wait for a while. The Zhuang family sent it.

"This is the New Year, or it is lively here. I don't know if I am going back or at your home."

Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaobao are no longer eating milk, they can drink porridge, and then eat two pickles made with tofu, the body needs enough nutrients, think of the New Year, Wang Hao did not know how to arrange.

"According to common sense, you should go back. There are exceptions to common sense. They don't mean that they can't separate when they can open their eyes together. They cry when they are separated. You have been at my house this year. No, it’s three nights to go back and forth."

Zhang Xiaobao knows what Wang Hao means. He wants to spend time with himself at the same time. It is a complete abandonment of the past. He thinks so. From here to the end, it is doomed to work together.

"Well, just do it. When will the second cow be sent out? This is also a grand occasion when it is fifteen." Wang Hao pulled a bone marrow into his mouth and nodded.

"Fiveteen can't, it's too late, the sixth day, now it's harder. After that, it's better. Find the place, pull the maifan stone back, put it in the ground when you open the ground, and see how the output is." Zhang Xiaobao put the last Drinking a porridge, decided.

In the New Year, nature is different from normal. Zhang Wang is busy with the housekeeper. He has no time to look at his children. In the yard, there are family members in Zhuang, and there are obviously fewer people. They regard one person as several. Used, the full yard was instructed to turn around, one by one tired and did not want to leave, but his face was full of joy.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao had eaten and did not exercise today. They divided the dozens of firecrackers that had been prepared for a few days and sent them to the Wang family. They also followed the pomegranate.

Time passed slowly in the expectation of countless people. Zhang Xiaobao washed the covered hands in the basin. Even if the dumplings were wrapped in advance, go to sleep at night, go to sleep for a while, and have willpower. The child's body is not good enough.

As the evening approached, every household had a fire on the outside of the house, took out the prepared bamboo rafts, threw them in and rang, and the slightly wealthy people put some salt to make the sound louder.

Zhang Wang and two also prepared a lot of bamboo. Zhang Xiaobao went to the Wang family first. He returned to this side and saw someone throwing bamboo into the fire. He also took out the five hanging whip and put it three tonight. Hang it, put it all at noon tomorrow and at night, and still have to do it at that time, leaving the fifth and fifteenth.

Zhang Wangshi, Zhang Fu, the old lady and the old man also stood in the yard listening to the sound, holding the two children in their arms, enjoying the family, waiting for the pomegranate to ignite the firecrackers, and licking their ears to escape The family was amazed when the louder noises were heard.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Wei did not tell anyone about firecrackers. They just wanted to give everyone a surprise. The result is better. Not only has there been a surprise, but also scared people. It sounds loud and loud, everyone is there until the pomegranate is lit. The second time I hanged the whip.

"Xiaobao, what is this? It sounds like a lot of movement, and more to make some money." Zhang Wang is still more economically minded. When he saw the thing ignited, he thought of business.

"Mother, this thing is called firecrackers. It is not easy to do it. It may be an accident. There are more people who know it. If you accidentally leak the prescription, you will not make this money." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Weike I don't want to make the firecrackers well known now. I want to come to the king's house and the reaction should be like this.

"My child said, go, it's time, eat dumplings." Zhang Wang thinks right, no longer play this idea, enter the house with the family, the dumplings have also been placed, the table is still placed A hot pot, the younger first gave the elders a new year, and got a red envelope, which was eaten.

Looking at the enthusiasm of the adults, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao had to pick up something that could be bitten, such as duck blood, tofu, and small lamb. After eating a few mouthfuls, the two men put down the chopsticks at the same time and said to each other: "Three years in Kaiyuan, Happy New Year."
