The new year is approaching.
Originally, the Li family had many rules. When everyone was scattered in the village, they didn't feel anything.
But now they are all surrounded in this fort.
Many people follow the Li family's example and have clear arrangements for what to do today and what to do tomorrow.
Now that there are horses in the village, the bandits have become much more stable.
Zhang Bao also made arrangements to go to the county government to buy a lot of wine and meat for the New Year.
In Zhang Bao's impression, the Spring Festival before joining the army was nothing more than being alone, with a roast chicken, a bottle of liquor, and a Spring Festival gala.
After finishing the roasted chicken and bottoming out the liquor, the party was unforgettable, and then I fell asleep.
Wake up.
This year is over.
After joining the army, he was always in the military camp.
Many comrades performed together, ate and drank, and it was quite lively.
Naturally, it was the latter, which made Zhang Bao more familiar and nostalgic.
Seeing that there were only two people in the house, Su Xiaoyue and Lao He, it felt a little deserted.
The two families, Hu Dugu and Li Daniu, were simply called.
Let’s all have a lively New Year’s Eve together.
The other two families naturally agreed readily.
When the courtyard was crowded with people, the adults were busy preparing to eat, and the children were chasing each other and having fun. The New Year atmosphere immediately came up!
But the dinner party has not yet begun.
Zhang Bao was personally invited by the old man of the Li family.
He said that Zhang Bao was a great hero in their village and insisted on dragging Zhang Bao over for a drink or two.
Zhang Bao couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Mrs. Li to Li's house.
A burst of praise.
Some pleasantries.
A round of drinking.
A clear expression of one's thoughts and determination.
The old man of the Li family, taking advantage of his drunkenness, clamored to have sex with Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao looked at the old man of the Li family who was about to die, and thought about his vow not to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
I was complaining in my heart.
It's not easy to offend Mr. Li directly.
Just settle for the next best thing.
He and Li Yan, the son of Mr. Li, became godbrothers.
Li Yan is similar in age to Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao is relieved. If he can have this kind of relationship, he thinks it will be more convenient in the village in the future, so he naturally agrees.
After drinking the sworn wine.
Li Yan's youngest son Huzi had already come up to kowtow to pay New Year greetings.
Zhang Bao touched around and found nothing, so he gave just a dozen copper coins as lucky money to this tough little guy.
Looking at the three or four-year-old baby in front of him, Li Yan is about the same age as himself.
She also couldn't help but think of the time when Su Xiaoyue clamored to give herself a big fat boy under the covers.
Thanks to the strength of the wine, my whole body felt hot.
He simply resigned and walked towards home.
As a result, the door opened.
But when he saw everyone sitting around the table waiting for him to come back, he remembered the dinner party in the evening.
He sat down dizzy.
Su Xiaoyue on the side saw Zhang Bao already tipsy.
He poured a cup of hot tea.
He glanced at Zhang Bao somewhat angrily.
Zhang Bao looked at Su Xiaoyue's resentful eyes, which seemed particularly moving, but when he saw the circle of people sitting around him, several children were looking at him eagerly.
Zhang Bao then restrained his passion and picked up the wine glass.
"Although you two are both tenants of my Zhang family, you have lived and died together, and there is no distinction between you and me!"
"From now on, we can all treat each other as brothers!"
"We don't speak the same language as our family. The two eldest brothers will help each other more in the future!"
Zhang Bao has not yet recovered from the emotion of sworn sworn relationship with Li Yan just now.
As he talked, he turned up here again.
However, these words made Hu Dugu and Li Daniu extremely excited.
As a tenant, there is no shame in earning a living through hard work, but at this time, in front of a few children, he calls the young master brother and brother, and respects him as the eldest brother.
I can't help but feel that my face is shining.
The eyes of the children next to them were also full of admiration.
But this excitement soon transferred to the sumptuous meals on the table.
After Zhang Bao saw it, he smiled apologetically.
He quickly greeted everyone to start eating.
Today's meal can be said to be the most sumptuous Zhang Bao has ever seen since time travel.
Just now at the Li family's side, although the table was full of dishes, as soon as I sat down, I was toasted and didn't eat a bite.
There is currently no concept of frying in oil in Daxia dishes.
Mostly stews and meat stews.
However, because the sister-in-law of the Hu family is here, there are a few more grassland methods, which are very novel.
Su Xiaoyue and the two sisters-in-law were afraid that the dishes would get cold, so they brought them one by one to heat them up. These children didn't care whether it was cold or hot, and started to attack the meat on the table.
Provoking a scolding from the two sisters-in-law.
The whole courtyard was very lively.
Lao He was currently guarding the wall.
Although it was New Year's Eve, we couldn't be careless, not to mention that someone had discovered the situation inside Wubao before.
Lao He was alone, so he had to be sacrificed.
The Li family, which has a big business, also sent a few people to guard it.
Zhang Bao took Hu Dugu and Li Daniu for a drink.
Hu Dugu is a very measured person.
Knowing that these are extraordinary times, I just drank lightly.
And Li Daniu seemed to have been warned by Mrs. Li before he came, and he looked very embarrassed as he wanted to drink but couldn't open his mouth to drink.
"Brother Li, there are no outsiders today. If you want to drink, feel free to drink!"
"Anyway, Lao He is guarding the door, so it's okay!"
Zhang Bao knew that these tenants did not earn much silver, and they had to support their families, so drinking and drinking was really extravagant.
After finally seeing some wine, Li Daniu was already very greedy.
"Okay, okay!"
"Old lady, this is what the young master said, let me open up and drink!"
"Then I'll toast the young master first!"
"Forget it, I'd better express my feelings with a bowl!"
Li Daniu held the wine glass, feeling very uncomfortable.
He simply drank the bowl of broth in front of him and drank it all.
I didn't care that there was still a lot of oil in it, so I poured a full bowl of it and it was dry when I picked it up.
Zhang Bao was speechless.
This wine is Liujia Osmanthus Brewing that Lao He specially bought, and it is very spicy in the mouth.
This Li Daniu, I really can’t tell, it’s huge!
But if you drink this bowl of wine, a few hundred dollars will be gone.
If Lao He knew how Li Daniu drank like this, he would probably be able to chop Li Daniu in with a knife.
Daxia now.
Military chaos, civil unrest, and natural disasters continued.
Food is especially precious.
Wine made from grain is even prohibited.
The value of this sweet-scented osmanthus brew has also increased.
It was Lao He who hesitated at the door of the wine shop for a long time before he made up his mind to bring these jars of wine back at a high price.
Li Daniu got the advantage.
"Daddy!"
"I won't let him play with it!"
"I want to play!"
While several people were drinking.
The youngest son of Li Daniu's family cried loudly and came to several people.
Pointing at Erile who was on the side, Erile was standing there at a loss with a small wooden knife in his hand.
