The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Yan Jiecheng also took advantage of the last weekend of the year to visit his cousin's house in Zuojiazhuang.
When Yan Jiecheng arrived at Zuojiazhuang, Zuo Linhe had been waiting for a long time.
"Jie Cheng, I thought you weren't coming. Recently, the folks have been asking if they still want to receive dry goods.
Instead of celebrating the New Year, everyone is also thinking of changing some cash to buy new clothes for the children.
You don’t know, there are many children, and the younger ones don’t even have clothes to wear.
It's okay in the summer, those guys are walking around with their butts naked.
On such a cold day, all I can do is curl up on the kang and cry all day long. "
Yan Jiecheng quickly explained to Zuo Linhe.
"Cousin, I've been busy on the weekends recently, so I haven't been able to come. I must still need some things. Please inform everyone now."
Like last time, the deal was completed quickly.
However, in the end, Zuo Linhe looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Jiecheng, the medicinal wine made by the fifth uncle's house is ready. Do you want it?"
Yan Jiecheng became interested. Yan Bugui likes to drink, so he can have some.
"Cousin, what did you drink?"
"It's a long story. Our ancestors of the Zuo family were also officials. During the Xianfeng period, our ancestors were on duty in the dispensary of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Later, Emperor Xianfeng died and was deposed from his official position, and later settled here.
The fifth uncle's family has always inherited the ancestral craftsmanship.
About thirty years ago, a tiger came from the mountain behind the village, causing a panic in the village.
At that time, the village pooled money, bought two poles from the Beiyang gang, and organized people to get rid of the tiger.
Uncle Fifth's father and I, Uncle Seven, prepared the bones and tiger whip separately, then added medicinal materials and soaked them in wine. "
Smash it, smash it, Zuo Linhe blew out a puff of smoke and opened his mouth to reveal his big yellow teeth.
Then he said: "Our Zuo family's brewing wine is different from those outside. It needs to be brewed for a full thirty years, otherwise it won't have such a magical effect."
After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng became interested and asked, "What is the effect?"
"This, you kid, don't ask questions. Anyway, this is how our ancestors stayed by the emperor's side."
Perhaps Zuo Linhe also found this unconvincing, and continued: "Without the family ancestors, there would be no Emperor Tongzhi."
So awesome?
Yan Jiecheng looked at the sky speechlessly, although I understand everything you said. But why do you feel like Lao Wang next door?
Yan Jiecheng didn't hesitate. It was a good thing and he couldn't miss it.
Although I won't be able to use it for the time being, who can say for sure in the future?
Yan Jiecheng personally made a deal with Old Fifth Uncle, and Old Fifth Uncle repeatedly told Yan Jiecheng how to use it.
Emphasis, if you use it wrongly, you will die young.
Emperor Xianfeng just didn't listen to the doctor's advice and took medicine without authorization, so he ended his life early.
Two medicinal wines, each in a small jar, weighing about five kilograms.
The color of the wine is amber, not as clear as water like normal wine.
The liquid is thick, like cold syrup.
Just these five kilograms of small stuff, it took Yan to decipher it into five big black tens.
This trip to Zuojiazhuang was full of rewards, not counting medicinal wine. There are also many other mountain goods.
What's more, there are forty eggs, two pheasants, five skewers of bacon, and thirty salted duck eggs.
The stuff is good stuff and the money is not wasted. A trip to Zuojiazhuang and Xiaobai disappeared.
This time, they collected nearly 300 kilograms of various mountain products, and Zuo Lin and his family helped move them to the roadside.
After returning to Sijiucheng, Yan Jiecheng hired a pallet truck for 60 cents.
Then the things were moved to the courtyard.
The third aunt from far away saw it and called Yan Bugui. The two moved their things home, and then they felt relieved.
The third aunt was very happy when she saw the eggs. Nothing we eat these days is nutritious, so eggs are the best supplement.
The eggs cannot be stored, so they must be eaten.
Beating an egg into the stick batter every night is not only nutritious, but also delicious when you look at the egg blossoms.
Two pheasants, frozen to the bone.
In the third aunt's plan, if she cooks for the New Year, it will be enough for the entire first month.
Simmering a large pot of chicken soup and soaking two pancakes, the third aunt was almost drooling as she talked.
But Yan Bugui's focus is different. After all, there are differences between men and women.
"Boss, so this medicinal wine is the kind that was given to the emperor in the palace before?"
"Yes, but dad, don't dare drink this stuff randomly.
This tiger bone wine is for teenagers to drink. After drinking it, exercise quickly so that it can be absorbed better.
This wine can stimulate people's potential, and young people who drink it can greatly improve their physical fitness.
According to my cousin, those martial arts masters actually all have similar secret recipes, either taking a bath or taking them internally, so they can achieve success in martial arts. "
Yan Bugui sighed.
"Sure enough, the rich in literature and martial arts are poor. I have only heard of it before, but now it is an eye-opener."
Yan Jiecheng then explained to Yan Bugui in a low voice: "That tiger whip wine is specially made for people whose children are in need. You know this better than me."
Seeing Yan Bugui's expression, Yan Jiecheng quickly advised: "The effect of this medicine is no joke. Normal people would not dare to drink it. If you drink it, you will die."
He was also afraid that Yan Bugui would make trouble. We have to guard against this kind of thing. With this kind of medicinal wine, which man wouldn't want to try it?
So, get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if something happened, Yan Jiecheng would really be filial to his father.
His family has no throne to inherit, so he cannot do such a thing.
After you finish speaking, put your things away.
Yan Jiecheng wrapped a pheasant in the old newspaper of the third uncle, and then took it to the backyard to find Xu Damao.
In this courtyard, if you are not careful, the news will definitely spread the next day.
Better be careful.
In the middle courtyard, Jia's sister-in-law is still washing clothes under the moonlight.
Her figure is still as graceful as ever.
As my hands scrubbed on the washboard, my buttocks moved rhythmically.
Yan Jiecheng somewhat understood Si Zhu.
If there was such a person like this in front of my house every night, I couldn't help it.
Therefore, the sister-in-law was probably the object of Sha Zhu's fantasy when he first fell in love.
It simply filled Silly Zhu’s dream.
Yan Jiecheng joked, "Sister-in-law, I've washed it again."
When Qin Huairu saw that it was Yan Jiecheng, she smiled and said, "Yes, this kid Bangge always wets the bed."
Yan Jiecheng looked Qin Huairu up and down with his eyes, and said with a bad smile: "Sister-in-law is joking. Bangge can't wet the bed every night. Children wet the bed in the morning. Sister-in-law is not honest."
"Bah...you're not a good thing either."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she turned away and continued washing clothes, no longer talking to Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Jiecheng went to the backyard with a smile.
"Huairu, who are you talking to?"
In the west wing, Mrs. Jia Zhang heard someone talking to her daughter-in-law, so she opened the curtains and took a look. Yan Jiecheng had just left at that time and saw no one, so she asked.
"The eldest son of the three uncles in the front yard is Yan Jiecheng."
"Hurry up and come back after washing up. Don't talk to him again, he's not a good guy at first sight."
Jia Zhang urged in the room.
Mrs. Jia Zhang in the room turned her head and looked at Jia Dongxu who was sleeping distressedly.
Jia's house is a big shop, with a curtain drawn in the middle of the kang.
Jia Zhang and Bang Gian slept on one side, and Jia Dongxu and his wife slept on the other side.
So Jia Zhang can tell everything about Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.
After all, she had to pretend to fall asleep early every day to give the couple some time.
When Jia Dongxu first got married, she deliberately pretended to be asleep. Firstly, she was afraid that Dongxu would not know how to do it, and secondly, she was monitoring Qin Huairu to see if she was clean.
Later, she somehow fell in love with this feeling.
Every time at this time, she felt that Dongxu's father was back again...
