.”

Eating dumplings and wontons during the Chinese New Year is also a way for the Tang people to celebrate.

Zhang Chao liked this tradition very much. In the past, every year during the Chinese New Year, his family also ate dumplings. The big dumplings were reunited with each other.

"Tell your sister-in-law, pack more and give each family two bowls later."

There are more than fifty families in Zhangjiagou, and the family gives two bowls, which is only 100 bowls. The Zhang family can afford the money. The school and workshop were on holiday a few days ago, and the workers and students all returned to their respective homes.

The village is not as lively as before, but it is not deserted.

The deer-in-law was hunted by the merchants from the trap and sent to the Zhang family. Although Zhangjiagou is still a village now, it is no longer as lively as Bailu Township.

Many nearby villagers have even gradually got used to treating Zhangjia Village as a new market. They have chopped firewood to send it to Zhangjiagou, caught fish, wild boars, deer, rabbits, etc., and they also sent it to Zhangjiagou. They even picked some mushrooms and dug winter bamboo shoots, and all of them are delivered to it. (.l’s little ‘speak’)

It is easier to sell when you come here than in the countryside. Even if no one buys it for a while, you can directly get it to Zhang Sanlang's house. The Zhang family will always buy everyone's things, especially those mountain delicacies, whether they are prey or mountain goods, and the prices are always fair.

This made Zhangjiagou more lively and actually increased the Zhangjia's reputation. It is not difficult for the people in the countryside to get some prey and mountain delicacies, but the difficult thing is to sell them. There are not many people willing to buy these in small places, and it is difficult to sell them if they cannot afford them. It is not convenient to send them to Chang'an for a long journey. It is easy to break even if it takes a little longer.

Therefore, in many cases, if you hit wild boars and muntjacs, you can exchange them for money, and it is difficult to sell meat and exchange them for money in time.

But now the Zhang family refuses everyone to the prey sent by the villagers. You are a 300-pound wild boar or a few fresh river fish, a hare or a pheasant, or even eggs laid by the villagers themselves. The Zhang family collects them.

Anyway, the Zhang family is already crowded, and there are workshops and schools. There are always many people on the construction site there. The food consumes a lot of meat and vegetables every day. It has no effect on accepting these sent by the villagers, and they can still compensate them frequently.

If you write the word "Fu" well, it will be dark.

The snow was still falling outside, and Zhang Chao suddenly became childish. He grabbed a handful of snow, pinched a snow ball, and then a ball of snow hit Zhuzi.

The pillar was hit by a snow ball, but it just smiled foolishly at Zhang Chao.

Bored, you won’t even have snowball fights.

Wash your hands and eat.

In the hall, the lights were bright, and the Zhang family sat around a large table. The dishes were very rich, including stewed pork feet, braised pork, big carp, stewed old duck, roasted chicken and goose.

"Eat fish every year."

The eight kinds of dumplings were also served, and Zhang Chao ate one of them, which was very rich in ingredients.

"Dad, I respect you."

Zhang Chao picked up the wine glass and toasted his father. His father was very happy. The whole family was reunited and happy. He picked up the wine glass and his father drank it all in one go.

People are in a good mood and wine tastes better.

The whole family was very happy with a reunion dinner and eating dumplings.

There was another table in the kitchen today, including the housekeeper, Niu Veterinarian, Ma Zhou, Ke and Zheng, as well as the dozen Zhang family managers, all of whom were sitting around.

This table is also thanked by the Zhang family for their hard work for the Zhang family over the past year.

Zhang Qiao came here, and he was very happy to eat here.

"I'll add a fish to everyone, the big carp in the Yellow River, more than eight pounds." Zhang Chao smiled and asked Shuanzi to bring the big basin of fish to the table.

Shuanzi was very clever when he was putting vegetables on Ma Zhou, the Zhang family's big accountant, the deputy director of Bailu Academy, and also worked as the sixth-rank literature of the East Palace for a few days. The table was full of people, he was a scholar.

"Binwang, the fish head is aimed at you, I said nothing, three glasses of fish head wine." Zhang Chao said with a hint.

Ma Zhou was so proud that he stood up, picked up the wine glass, and drank three glasses in a row. Fortunately, everyone was drinking sweet wine today, which was not fermented. It was sweet and not intoxicating at all.

The housekeeper gave Zhang Chao a seat and Zhang Chao sat down.

He picked up the chopsticks and picked out the fish eyes and gave it to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zheng. These two people were the manager of the Zhang family. The first one bought by the Zhang family, the old man. Mr. Zheng, brought by Mr. Cui Yingying, and the business was also very reliable.

"Butler Zhang, Manager Zheng, this is called a high-sight. I hope that the two of you will cooperate well in the future and manage the affairs of the Zhang family. Next year, the same division of labor will be done. Manager Zhang will manage the daily affairs of the family. Manager Zheng, you are mainly responsible for managing the transactions of the outside shops and other transactions. You two, one is in charge of the internal and the other is in charge of the outside, and do it well."

The two of them quickly stood up, "Thank you, Saburo, we will definitely live up to your expectations."

After the two of them had eaten the fish eyes, Zhang Chao clamped the fish bones and gave them to Ma Zhou.

"Binwang, this is called the mainstay. You are the big accountant of our Zhang family, and this must belong to you."

Ma Zhou smiled and took it.

Zhang Chao divided the fish tail into two and gave it to Uncle Ke Ba and Old Carpenter Zheng, "This is called an important task. During the time I was not at home, you have already recruited all the apprentices. I heard that the apprentices are very good, very good. Next year, we will recruit another 200."

Zhang Chao gave the fish belly, fins, and ass to several other people again. The fish belly is called heart-to-heart tumbling, the fish fin is called spreading its wings and flying high, and the fish tum is called "There is a blessing in the future."

Anyway, everyone got a piece of fish first, and Zhang Chao also called out the title of the famous ones, which made everyone very happy.

Shuanzi and the others were waiting for the servants, and today they also enjoyed dumplings and meat, and set up a table in the house there.

The maids and maids at home also got wine, vegetables and dumplings.

Du Shiniang is a girl with a sensational status, and she is a higher status than ordinary girls, but she is not considered the master. Like Hongzi, she stands at the dinner table of the Zhang family and serves the real masters to have dinner.

Add rice and pour water.

Smelling the fragrance of the food and watching the Zhang family talking and laughing at the dinner table, Du Shiniang almost burst into tears again.

This meal took a long time.

After the meal, Shiqiniang gave his father, Zhang Chao and Cui Yingying a new set of clothes each.

Cui Yingying also gave her father, Qi Niang and Lan'er, a set of new clothes she sewed herself, and Zhang Chao also got one.

Wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year is also a custom for ordinary people. However, most of the time, new clothes are only taken out for the New Year every year and need to be collected. Ordinary people cannot make new clothes every year.

The Zhang family is rich now, so it is okay to wear new clothes every day, and they often make new clothes. However, during the Chinese New Year, giving their family a set of new clothes made by themselves is also the responsibility of the housewives, and a recognition achievement is equivalent to an honor.

At this time, Hongxian and Du Shiniang also brought out their own works. They were Zhang Chao's concubines, so they made new clothes for the two mistresses of the Zhang family, Qiniang and Shisanniang, and the other one made a set for Zhang Chao.

"Brother Third, we have also made you a new set of clothes."

Lian'er also made a set of clothes for her father and Zhang Chao. Lan'er was still young and just helped cut the thread tips, but she also asked Zhang Chao for credit.

"Lan'er, I have a reward for my third brother."

Zhang Chao took out a few purse bags, and the purse made of red silk cloth was very festive.

This is a red envelope specially prepared by Zhang Chao, which contains New Year's money for his family.

"Dad, mom, I'll send you a red envelope, wishing you a younger and younger life, all the best, and good luck in the New Year."

My father took it with a smile, opened the bag and saw that it was yellow and white inside. He fell on his hand and looked carefully. He found that there were two coins, three silver printed coins, four copper coins, and nine coins, all of which were engraved with blessings, wealth and honor, which was the same happy money as the money laundering.

In Qi Niang's red envelope, there are two rubies, three sapphires and four pearls.

"Thank you, Sanlang." Qi Niang accepted it with a smile.

The two girls who gave Lianlan were thirteen pearls each. The beads were not big, but they were not cheap to buy. The two girls opened them and saw that they were very happy.

What is given to Cui Yingying is also gems and pearls.

The red line gave money, Du Shiniang and the two beards gave money,

My father also sent everyone a red envelope, but it was just a hundred new copper coins strung with red ropes. It was yellow and clear, just like his simple concept, not as many gold, silver, pearls and jade, simple and simple.

But everyone was quite happy to receive it.

"It's getting late, Saburo should take a break soon."

The chat was quite late, and my father told Zhang Chao.

The old man said that the New Year was over and everyone went back to their rooms.

After half a month, Zhang Chao returned to his comfortable and warm room and lay on the warm kang, which was pleasant.

"Yingying!"

Zhang Chao took off his coat, threw it on the clothes hanger next to him, and pulled Cui Yingying over.

Looking down at the face that was obviously much thinner, Zhang Chao lowered his head and kissed her mouth.

Cui Yingying closed her eyes and allowed her husband to caress her willful caress.

Kissing is actually an instinct. On the day of the wedding night, when the two kissed for the first time, Cui Yingying didn't understand at all. She was very awkward and didn't know how to respond, but just accepted it passively. But after marriage, Cui Yingying was also constantly improving under Zhang Chao's guidance.

Now she can cooperate well with Zhang Chao.

Actively open the lips and teeth, and the tongue is responding.

Cui Yingying's tongue is the best thing to urge love. Zhang Chao's breathing became rapid, and his hands also covered her chest and started to knead.

Kissed until suffocated.

The two of them finally let go of each other reluctantly until they couldn't breathe.

While gasping, Cui Yingying stared at Zhang Chao, her eyes were extremely bright and tempting sparks. She looked down at the big hand that Zhang Chao had not taken away, her face full of charm.

Zhang Chao couldn't help but push her down.

Cui Yingying grabbed Zhang Chao's hand and said, "Sanlang, it won't work today."

Zhang Chao stopped, "What's wrong, are you still angry with me?"

"No, it's just that I'm having a menstrual day."

Zhang Chao was a little discouraged, and felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

"Forget it, let's sleep." Zhang Chao lay helplessly on the side.
