The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 10 Official Holiday
The rest of the days were much easier, and the Huimin Pharmacy and Winery were on the right track.

It's just that there are too many alcohol orders, and the three of them have to work overtime every day.

It's useless to rush this thing, there is no suitable candidate to recruit, and Zheng Xiong doesn't plan to expand the manpower, maybe there will be such a commercial spy among the recruited people.

On New Year's Eve, Zheng Xiong set up a dozen or so tables of noodles. Most of the food was steamed, and the meat was mainly beef, mutton, chicken and duck. Vegetables were luxury goods in this cold winter and the twelfth lunar month.

There are only a few storable ones that are specially saved for winter to sell for money, and the price is extremely expensive. Even if you have money and want to eat in other winters, you can’t buy them.

It is not rich, and there is no river fresh food. Except for a few kinds of fish, the hungry common people are unwilling to eat it, but it is too fishy and eats oil and salt.

All kinds of seasonings can become delicious only after removing the fishy smell. In the ancient times when materials were extremely scarce, some people couldn't afford oil and salt.

Seafood does not have these problems. Simple steaming is delicious, and it also eats oil and salt, but the biggest problem is transportation. It stinks after halfway.

Zheng Xiong also understood the situation, and went to the restaurant to ask about it when he had nothing to do these two days.

I didn't care for a while.

But when I came back, I couldn't help but think of all kinds of delicacies from later generations.

I haven't noticed it after traveling for so long, it should be because I got used to it in this life, the body's instincts didn't feel monotonous, and Zheng Xiong was also busy, so I didn't feel tired.

By holding these banquets this time, I have awakened the nature of foodies. I have money and leisure, and I really don’t know what to do other than eat, but now is not the time to think about these things.

Even so, all the people present enjoyed their food, and they also took out some low-alcohol wine from the wine shop.

Everyone pushed cups to change cups, gorged on meat, and drank alcohol, and some even cried while eating. Thinking back to the days when they were hungry and full all these years, this is probably the best meal in their life.

Wine can make people express their true emotions, and with gratitude, they toast Zheng Xiong frequently.

There are too many people, there will be a second drink after drinking this one, the low-alcohol wine can't stand it, besides, Zheng Xiong's drinking capacity is not good, and he slipped to the bottom of the table within a few rounds.

Seeing that Zheng Xiong was poured down, several people at this table quickly helped Zheng Xiong to the bed in the side hall.

With money, considering the special nature of the night shift, I specially bought two beds so that everyone can take turns to rest, but few people use them, basically Zheng Xiong's exclusive.

After Zheng Xiong settled down, they hurried back to the wine table, good wine and good food, if you don't eat, you will lose.

Without Zheng Xiong, everyone was more relaxed.

As we chatted, we talked about Zheng Xiong.

"Master Tiling is really a good person. It would be nice for people like us to have something to eat and drink. Since I met Mr. Tiling and got paid, not only the whole family has enough to eat and drink, but with rewards, we can also buy new clothes for our boys."

"It's the same with me. I haven't eaten such a meal since I was a child. It's really good for us to be able to set up this banquet for us. When those officials saw us, none of them had their nostrils upturned. Fortunately, they worked hard all day, and they still wanted to pick off a layer of skin from us. Sir Tiling didn't say anything, but we admire it from the bottom of our hearts. From now on, we will only follow the lead. If we go against this intention, there will be a thunderbolt."

Alcohol, the man became more and more excited as he talked, and directly made an oath.In this age of believing in gods, oaths can be said to be the most powerful rhetoric.

"That's right, we only have this one life, and we will sell this life to Mr. Tiling. If anyone has trouble with Mr. Tiling, he will step on me."

All the people waiting were also drunk, and expressed their allegiance one after another. They were brought into a rhythm unknowingly. Even if they knew that they were led into a rhythm, so what, couldn't it be their true thoughts.

After sleeping until evening, he rubbed his sore head, and it took him a while to realize that he might have drunk some fragments, which was really embarrassing to the traveler. Given the Dionysian level of the traveler, he was really a younger brother.

When I get up and go home, the bed at home is the warmest and most comfortable. The bed in other people's homes is always a bit uncomfortable.

Approaching the main courtyard, he explained the arrangements for the New Year.

The few people on duty were more respectful than before.

Prestige is invisible, but it is reflected in all aspects.

I was a little confused, so I ate a meal, as for it.

He didn't know that he had a group of loyal younger brothers, and the rhythmic guy didn't even know his name.

Waking up early the next day, I didn't dare to eat or drink water. After a big court meeting, it would really suffocate my urine.

The little eighth-rank official didn't dare to say anything, and entered the inner city from the outer city.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the ministers came to wait outside the Meridian Gate.

The Meridian Gate is the main entrance of the Forbidden City. In the middle of the main entrance is the Royal Road, which is usually closed. About two gates are the flag schools guarded by the generals and guards on duty.

And there are two leaf doors on the left and right, called the left leaf door and the right leaf door, which are the gates to the court.

The Meridian Gate Tower is called "Five Peaks", and bells and drums are set up, and the eunuchs are responsible for the bells and drums.

The next step is to wait, the three provinces and the six high-ranking departments all have special rooms, and I, a small official, can only shiver with everyone in the small room.

In order to make it easier for officials to wait for "waiting for leaks", the imperial court built many rooms in the imperial city, and officials would sit down according to their ranks and wait for the palace door to open.

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, the officials began to enter the palace, the civil servants entered from the "men" on the left, and the military officers entered from the "men" on the right. First, they were sorted by grade on the south side of the Jinshui Bridge.

After being whipped, they crossed the bridge one by one and came to the Fengtianmen Red Palace, where civil servants belonged to the left class and military officers belonged to the right class.

During this time, the Kingsguard are in charge and anyone coughing, spitting, crowded or disorganized will be recorded for medical treatment.

The center of the throne on the Tianmen Corridor is known as the "Golden Platform".On the left and right of the steps, there are bands of drum and bell masters, and the temple is decorated with "generals", who are fully armed, while officials and civil and military officials on Yuqian Road are standing there with knives and military flags.

When Lao Zhu arrived at the imperial gate, led by the sound of bells and drums, he took the throne in front of the palace.

Put two people inside, one person holds an umbrella and stands on the seat, and the other holds the "five cups" and stands in the middle behind the seat with two leaves.

Then Honglu Temple "sings" into the class, and the left and right civil and military classes join hands and advance into the imperial road. At this time, the civil officials "go north to west", and the military officers "go north to east".

Dukes, son-in-laws, and uncles form a class (Xun Qi class), which is slightly separated from the front of the military officer class.

It's okay, just to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. When the emperor is happy, he will let you have a meal.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood today, he had a meal with everyone, it was not delicious.

But everyone came hungry, and they all ate well.

The general New Year's greeting process is similar, and the New Year's greetings have dinner and go home.

It's not bad, only two or three times a year, it's a surprise to see it for the first time.

After Hu Weiyong's downfall and chaos, it was scary to go to court every day. I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't dare to think about it.

When I go home in the afternoon, the Chinese New Year is when the whole family gathers for dinner.

Many years later, looking back, things are different, and today's mediocrity may not be the most missed time in the future.

Parents in the previous life, how are you?My son misses you.
