Chapter 39 Golden Dragon (Happy New Year's Eve)

(Today's third update, thank you for the first brother who gave me a reward (I have nothing to do to play with the group leader). I used to give myself my rewards. I am really grateful. Today is New Year's Eve. Xiguan is here to wish all my brothers good luck and wealth. I wish you good health and happiness... Please vote for recommendations, please red envelopes (one hundred starting points coins), Xiguan bows!)

Deng Jie came to Dangtu County on the third day of the Chinese New Year and entered his county government. On that day, the officials of the county government were there and welcomed the third son of the Duke of Wei. On this day, Chen Mao and Deng Jie, two friends who colluded, officially met.

Because Chen Shou was Deng Yu's adopted son, Chen Shou was the same generation as Deng Jie, so Chen Mao became Deng Jie's nephew. After the two sides recognized their relationship, Chen Shou kept Chen Mao with Deng Jie's side.

You should know that Deng Jie is not familiar with Dangtu, so Chen Mao became Deng Jie's most loyal dog. Chen Mao took Deng Jie around to play. You should know that Taiping Mansion is a very beautiful place. It is the southern gate of Yingtian Mansion, Caishiji, Tianmen Mountain and other attractions are described in Li Bai's poem:

The Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flowed eastward to return here.

The green mountains on both sides of the straits are facing each other, and the lonely sail is coming from the sun.

If Taiping Mansion is not beautiful, Li Bai would come here to settle in his later years. So at the beginning, Deng Jie was taken by Chen Mao to linger in the beautiful scenery of Taiping Mansion. Slowly, Chen Mao also became Deng Jie's right-hand man, and soon, the dark moment of Taiping Mansion also came.

....................................

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the Zhu family welcomed the first group of people to greet New Year, Zhao Lu, Zhou Xin, Xia Wu and Qiao Ren. Today, Zhao Lu and Qiao Ren all brought their sons Zhao Shaoer and Qiao Xiaohu.

When the child came to the family, Aunt Wang was very happy. She asked Zhu Lang to give each of the two children a red envelope of 300 yuan. The two little guys had never seen so much money, and they didn't dare to accept it at first, but after seeing her father's approval, the two little guys happily accepted it this time.

After the two children came to the Zhu family, they felt unprecedented happiness. The food was really great. The food in the Zhu family was much better than the food in their own family. You should know that Zhao Shaoer's family bought a little malt sugar because Zhao Shaoer's family gave most of the money to the doctor. Fortunately, they helped Zhu Lang sell bean sprouts and saved 4,000 yuan, which made a good New Year last.

Although Qiao Xiaohu's family made some money in front, there were many people in Qiao Xiaohu's family. Qiao Ren had old subordinates and subordinates, and his wife and family had to help him. Isn't this the good guy just like this? His wife and family were determined to be Qiao Ren.

So Qiao Xiaohu's family didn't even buy malt sugar, and gave it to his wife's parents' home. You can't help but give it to him. If it's not enough, Qiao Ren's wife's home will make trouble. Alas... there are some things that are really unspeakable.

The Zhu family has a lot of snacks, including crispy yellow, chickpeas, and bone-wearing abalone snails... They are all delicious snacks, especially the bone-wearing abalone snails, which cost fifteen cents each. This was a unique snack in the Ming Dynasty at that time. It was praised by literati at that time as "the most delicious thing in the world."

This kind of dessert comes from Suzhou. Locals in Suzhou mix cheese with cane frosting, mix it with honey and sugar, and after it is solidified, squeeze it on a plate, squeeze it while turning it, forming a small dessert with a round bottom and a clear texture.

There were very few people making cheese at that time, and the bone-wearing abalone snail melted in the mouth, which tasted delicious and was very popular among foodies. To be honest, the bone-wearing abalone snail is very similar to the current pastry cheese.

Aunt Wang likes children, so she gave them two of them. After Zhao Shaoer and Qiao Xiaohu ate one of them, they were so shocked that they couldn't even speak. There was no way. When did these two poor boys have eaten such delicious snacks?

However, what made Zhu Lang feel good about these two kids was that after the two kids finished eating one, the other knew to stay secretly, and they both wanted to take it home for their family to eat.

Of course, Zhao Shaoer was for his mother, while Qiao Xiaohu wanted to bring it to his grandfather.

Zhu Lang liked it very much. He played together for a while and ate it very well at noon. He made mutton dumplings, pork head meat and red mutton, which were so generous and hard dishes that could not be filled at home. However, in the Zhu family, Aunt Wang smiled and made two little guys very excited.

Oh, that was so good. Zhao Shaoer and Qiao Xiaohu let go of their stomachs and started eating desperately. The belly of the food was round and Qiao Xiaohu had a little difficulty squatting down, and everyone laughed constantly.

While having a meal, Xia Wu said that he would leave tomorrow to Yingtian to see the price of Yingtian Candy.

When he heard Xia Wu leave tomorrow, Zhu Lang immediately reminded: "Brother Xia, there are two things you do when you go to Yingtian. The first thing is to find out the price of all the sugars, and the second thing is to find out the sales volume of frosting. It is best to ask whether the owners of these stores will collect frosting."

"Colle...Colle...Colle...Frosting?" Xia Wu was surprised, then looked at Zhu Lang with some expectations and asked, "Can the young master make frosting?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the dining table looked at Zhu Lang with horror.

At this time, looking at the horrified eyes of everyone, Zhu Lang smiled and said, "I will... I told you, I'm afraid you will believe me, I... I've been unconscious for a while after rolling down from the mountain last time...!"

"Yes..." Aunt Wang looked at Zhu Lang with some concern and asked, "Xiao Lang...what is wrong?"

"Grandma...Nothing, it was during that time that a dragon appeared in my mind. Its whole body was golden and taught me a lot of things, fishing under the ice, selling bean sprouts, and treating patients... it was all taught by that golden dragon." After saying that, Zhu Lang smiled.

In fact, Zhu Lang said this today after a little consideration, because the things that Zhu Lang knew were too abrupt, and he had to find an abstract excuse. If he didn't make excuses, Zhu Lang was worried that he would be suspected by Aunt Wang. So after thinking about it, Zhu Lang still felt that fooling a golden dragon out should be able to scare everyone.

Sure enough, after Zhu Lang said that, although everyone showed horror, there was only horror, but there was no trace of suspicion, because at this time in ancient times, even in the Ming Dynasty, legends such as ghosts, gods, dragons and gods were still everywhere.

People believe this. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang has many stories about deifying himself. When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he was a group of children. He was accompanied by Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, etc., all of whom were poor children, who made a living by herding cattle for the landlord's family.

When children are together, they like to act on stage. Every time they perform this period of court, Zhu Yuanzhang plays the emperor. His dragon throne is a magical stone. This stone can only be stood on it and is called by people.

Once, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come to herd cattle because of something, and the group of children played in court again. One of them stood on the stone. Everyone shouted long live. Before everyone could finish calling, the child fell down!

There are many legends surrounding the founding emperor, which are basically to create a public opinion propaganda that "the destiny of heaven" in the dynasty. In order to stabilize the psychology of the people, after the dynasty was established, the emperor was given mythical color, and the ancient people took this trick!

"So that's it..." Zhao Lu showed an excited expression: "I was wondering whether that golden dragon is the current emperor. His Majesty turned into a golden dragon and taught so many skills to the young master. Does that mean that the young master can become his majesty's student in the future and assist the Ming Dynasty in the future...!"

As soon as they said this, everyone else showed an excited look.

"It must be like this... The golden dragon is His Majesty, and the young master is His Majesty's student. In the future, the young master will assist the Ming Dynasty, so we can follow the young master forever... and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Xia Wu became excited, and the others also showed excited expressions.

Zhu Lang smiled in his heart. He originally wanted to fool a golden dragon, but he didn't expect that after a moment of artistic processing, he became Zhu Yuanzhang's student. Puff... Zhu Yuanzhang is a beggar monk, can he still teach people?

However, it is good to let Zhao Lu and others think like this, at least they won’t doubt themselves in the future. When they think about it, Zhu Lang glanced at his grandmother because Zhu Lang wanted to make his grandmother believe in his random fabrication.

But Zhu Lang didn't expect that at this time, Aunt Wang's face was pale, and her forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat...!
