(On the new day, everyone may be very busy today, because the Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, and today I can see snow in Wuhu. The weather is very cold. I will start to be busy in the morning, so I will be busy, snatching pig heads, hehe... Please recommend everyone, congratulations on getting rich, red envelopes are all for everyone!)

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had red eyes, Empress Ma stopped her sadness and stood up to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang. The couple met in a very short time, which was really a couple in distress. Many people could not understand the emotions between them.

In this way, the couple snuggled together and felt each other's sorrow together.

And outside Yingtian City... a young man in his twenties rode on a dark horse and looked at Yingtian with resentment. The young man was no one else, Deng Yu's third son Deng Jie.

At this time, Deng Jie was going to go to Dangtu to take office. Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was to leave Yingtian after the New Year, so Deng Jie had to leave the city at night because the New Year's Eve had passed and the New Year was over.

Deng Jie's mother did not come to see her off, nor did her sister come to see her off. Only Deng Jie was on the way, accompanying several members of the Deng family next to Deng Jie. However, at this time, Deng Jie did not have the joy of escaping from death.

On the contrary, he was resentful to Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness. You should know that Deng Yu was Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, and at least half of the Ming Dynasty's territory was defeated by his father Deng Yu, the beggar boy.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang has become the emperor. As Deng Yu's son, he only accepted fifty taels from others, and he wanted to kill himself. This is a typical example of killing a donkey. Deng Jie was very dissatisfied.

So Deng Jie looked at Ying Tian with anger and kept contempt in his heart. At this moment, he silently swore in his heart that he would be more comfortable in Dangtu and would be angry to death.

As he thought about it, Yingtian City had disappeared into Deng Jie's eyes. With a sigh, Deng Jie slowly turned his head.

The next morning, Yan Laojue got up early. After getting up, it was already a little dawn. Yan Laojue first pulled out a cigarette pole, then took out the tobacco leaves from a small bag on the cigarette pole, then stuffed it into the cigarette pot, then lit it, and took two beautiful mouthfuls.

Yan Laojue doesn’t like drinking, but he only likes to smoke this kind of dry tobacco. These tobacco leaves are very cheap and they are all bought by Yan Laojue for three cents. This tobacco leaves are filled with fertilizers such as cow dung and donkey dung. The tobacco leaves grow and pick them, and they are bundled with a bundle of leaves. The tobacco leaves become soft and yellow. Then the tobacco leaves are bundled for simple fermentation, usually for two or three days.

Then dry, then bale and ferment, repeating until it is dried and browned.

After that, stack and store it. This process is also a fermentation process. The longer the years, the better it is, and the more fragrant it becomes. When you eat it, there is no need to process it, cut it into shreds, tear it or crush it.

At that time, when I was smoking, I didn’t talk about the level, but I said “soft and hard”.

The softness and hardness of smoke are not the softness and hardness of matter, but a feeling of smokers about smoking, or a stimulation of a certain content of cigarettes to people's senses.

As soon as the cigarette is in my mouth, I can feel it all at once, and I will immediately say: It is too soft or too hard. It gives people the feeling that the hard smoke is a little choked, the soft smoke is not choked, and the too soft smoke also has a little hay smell.

Yan Laojue is an old cigarette gun, and any cigarette can be eaten with great flavor. Of course, these cigarettes have not been circulated in the Ming Dynasty, nor are there any official places to sell cigarettes. These tobacco leaves are circulated privately.

Some people believe that tobacco is an imported product and is passed down from abroad. It was probably during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Ming Dynasty gradually accepted tobacco. However, tobacco was actually available in China for a long time.

According to legend, Emperor Suzong of Tang liked to escape the summer heat in a place in Gansu. One day he slept here and had a dream. He dreamed of a group of fairies. As an emperor, he had something he dared not do. He immediately set up auspicious clouds and chased them up, and chased them into the mountains. He was about to catch up, and the fairy disappeared.

The emperor was anxious. When he woke up from his dream, he quickly found someone to look for him. He finally found a similar place, which was Luochuan. He asked someone to build a palace here.

After the palace was built, Emperor Suzong of Tang went to the temple to pray for his children one day. On the way, he smelled a pleasant smell and was surprised. What was this smell good? He sent someone to see it. It turned out that an old man was smoking, and he was still smoking our traditional dry tobacco. The cigarette was immediately filled with smoke, which was quite interesting.

Emperor Suzong of Tang couldn't help it anymore and wanted to pass the old man's dry tobacco pipe. After taking a sip, it smelled so fragrant. The fatigue on the road disappeared and he immediately felt refreshed.

This thing is good, what is its name? The old man answered Luochuan dry tobacco. Emperor Suzong of Tang immediately appointed Luochuan dry tobacco as a tribute.

Although it is a legend, you knew it in ancient times. Not popularizing it does not mean that there is no one. Many ancient books record the cultivation of tobacco by ethnic minorities. This is a proof that our country is also the origin of tobacco cultivation.

After smoking a pot of cigarettes beautifully, Yan Laojue came to the big pot in the kitchen, then took out a cooked egg from the big pot, skillfully peeled off the egg shell, then looked at his grandson, walked out of the kitchen, and ate the egg in small mouthfuls outside the kitchen.

In the Zhu family, everyone has eggs in the morning, and they can eat their own portions. They can eat them anytime. This is something Yan Laojue dared not think about before. After Yan Laojue finished eating the eggs, he began to sweep the yard. A strong wind last night made his yard messy. Yan Laojue didn't want his young master to get up and see the messy yard.

When the yard was half sweeping, Aunt Wang and Erxiang also got up. Seeing that Yan Laojue was already sweeping the yard, Aunt Wang asked with a smile: "Lao Yan, have you eaten?"

Yan Laojue smiled and said with a hint: "I've eaten it, I've eaten it, my elder sister, an egg... I'll wait for the elder sister to get up, and I'll have to eat the dumplings that my elder sister has."

"Okay...eat more, Lao Yan." Aunt Wang laughed.

At this time, Erxiang also came to the yard and swept the yard with Yan Laojue. After swept the yard, he went into the kitchen to make breakfast. At this time, Yan Shihua also got up. Then Erxiang shouted his two sons, and Zhu Erbao was reluctant to get up.

Then Zhu Lang and Wang Xue were the only ones left at home.

However, Wang Xue would come back soon, so only Zhu Lang would sleep until he woke up naturally at home. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is basically the day to visit relatives. However, these people from the Zhu family, the Zhu family has fled, and there are no relatives, and the Erxiang family is also there, so there are no relatives. Yan Laojue and Yan Shihua are people here, but they don’t want to go around with those relatives.

Nothing else... Because those relatives did almost nothing except putting in trouble with this grandfather and grandson, the Yan family's grandfather and grandson are the only relatives of the Zhu family, and they will not recognize anything else.

"It's snowing..." At this moment, snowflakes fell on the sky.

"Oh... the yard was white again. Lao Yan and Erxiang brought the charcoal stove to the main hall. We cooked dumplings in the main hall. After cooking the dumplings, we played the leaf show... The whole family was neat and had a good day today."

Aunt Wang laughed.

"Hao...!" Yan Laojue and Erxiang also showed a happy expression together.
