Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

"Brother, are you familiar?"

"It's coming, it's coming, there's no need to rush."

Yue Fei looked at the pot. The cooked beef was fat and thin. There was only a slight resistance when the chopsticks were inserted. It was really almost cooked. There was already a cooked whole chicken on the table in the main room, and there was a charcoal pot underneath to heat it. It kept boiling. Heat.

Add a large plate of roasted and cut lamb.

There are also fried sauerkraut.

A plate of cut cucumbers.

Cooked eggplant, beans and other vegetarian dishes.

It is also an extremely rich meal.

The aroma fills the room. Yue Fan, who was in his early ten years, was originally as skinny as a monkey, but now he has some flesh on his face, and his face is much cuter than before.

Yue Fan is very skilled and knowledgeable, not as good as Yue Fei, but he is still top among ordinary teenagers. Originally,

Yue Fan was going to take the martial arts exam next year.

But Yue Fei was a little hesitant.

Both brothers are in the army, so the chance of an accident is doubled.

And... I can’t live without someone by my side, right?

There will be more at home next year. When it comes to renovating the mansion, Yue Fei also wants his mother to enjoy the blessings at home while he is away fighting for Liangshan. She has been suffering for half a life.

In fact, my mother-in-law is not even forty yet, but she can already call herself an old woman in this world.

After Jingkang , his mother-in-law was trapped in enemy territory, and Yue Fei had become the commander-in-chief of Jiedu. His mother-in-law asked someone to carry the letter, telling him to serve the country with peace of mind and not to worry about the old woman's affairs.

Yue Fei burst into tears after reading the letter and sent envoys eighteen times. After many difficulties and dangers, he finally brought his mother to his side.

Now the only thing Yue Fei is thinking about is his old mother.

Yue Yao is also in the kitchen, busy with his eldest son.

At this time, as if he could see Yue Fei's thoughts, Yue Yao said :"Wulang, when you go to the army after the new year, don't worry about family matters."One hundred sixty-seven" Your sixth brother's future will not be delayed by his mother. He is capable and ambitious. He should not be forced to stay at home with his mother under his brother's wings. This is not fair to him."

Yue Fei was quite shocked.

But when I thought about it, my mother's words made sense.

My mother was always reasonable.

Only a mother like this could cultivate a hero like Yue Fei.

"Damn it, please go to the pavilion next year and apply for the return of the land."

Yue Yao looked at the room and sighed.

The grain store was full of wheat, and there was a season of sorghum that had been sold. The wheat in front of her was more than thirty stones, several thousand kilograms, and it was piled up like a hill..

People who are afraid of being poor or hungry always pile food at home like this.

This makes them feel at ease!

Not only the Yue Yao family, many people in the village do the same thing.

If the food is not around, it will not be there. Right under your nose, can you rest assured?

Money is also a sense of security, but for these people, the security brought by money is far inferior to that of food, far from it!

The land cultivated by the Yue family, because Yue Fei works in the Martial Arts Hall, There was also Yue Fei who was studying in school.

Cattle, farm tools, and seeds were all given free of charge.

Yue Fei also paid back the money for the house without using food as an offset.

As a result, after the bumper harvest, it turned into these dozens of stones. wheat

"It’s better to leave one or two acres of food for planting, Wulang, what do you think?"

"Forget it, in case your brother doesn't worry, mother can leave half an acre of vegetable land and dig a deeper vegetable cellar so that there will be fresh vegetables to eat in winter."

There is no such technology as off-season greenhouses these days. You can only eat vegetables that are in season.

If you want to eat vegetables in winter and supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, you can only eat pickles. In many cases, pickles are better than meat. It’s also expensive.

Because it’s rare and expensive.

There were records in the late Ming Dynasty that half a jar of pickled sauerkraut could be exchanged for several sheep.

Herdsmen had to rush to beg for exchange.

Because ordinary people didn’t have much at home.

It’s not a vegetable. Expensive, seasonal vegetables are not too expensive.

In fact, except for people in the city, no one in the countryside buys vegetables. Which family can’t grow vegetables in front of their door?

Yue Fei felt his mother’s unwillingness in his heart.

But at this time, there was nothing The solution, he looked at the big pot on the stove and whispered:"Mom, the beef is cooked. A smile appeared on Yao's face:"

Okay, on New Year's Eve, let alone killing the scenery, this beef is only for our family if you become a military attaché. Even though it is a sick cow or a dead cow, it is not something ordinary people can eat!""

Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, although the slaughter of farm cattle was prohibited, there were still many people who specialized in raising beef cattle.

Big households, wealthy gentry, and powerful people all took pride in being able to eat beef at any time.

The same goes for some well-established hotels. Beef belongs to the hidden menu.

Like the heroes of Liangshan, on the Green Forest Road, when they arrived at the hotel, Da Ci Ci said: Cut two kilograms of high-quality beef. It is very difficult for the store to give it or not.

This also reflects the heroism and Green Forest of the heroes. A small detail of your style.

Ordinary people who want to order beef at a well-established restaurant... it's fine if someone picks them out.

It's normal to eat out your overnight meal.

This New Year's Eve dinner at Yue Fei's house has this A big pot of beef really adds a lot of flavor.

There is no pork either.

Ordinary people these days eat either chicken or fish.

Rich people mainly eat beef and mutton, with some seafood and fish dumplings added, of course. Special fruits from various places are also indispensable.

There was almost no pork on the menu when Song Gaozong went to Zhang Jun’s house for a banquet.

Su Dongpo began to promote pork decades ago, but it would take time for pork to become a mainstream meat.

Only the poor people , it’s good to have meat to eat, this is the mainstream of eating pork.

Many of the pigs raised in Liangshan are digested by the military and made into canned meat.

Some are also sold outside.

Of course, pig farmers will also eat it themselves, but The base is relatively small.

After more than a hundred years, eating pork has become mainstream. Firstly, it is known to castrate before rearing, and the smell of pigs is much less.

Domestic slow-growing pork is also very fragrant, much more fragrant than mutton and beef.

Secondly, it is As the population increased, there was not much land left for sheep.

Sheep fell from their dominant position during the Tang and Song Dynasties and never came back again.

"It’s time to eat!"

Yue Fan cheered, lit a lighter and ran outside to set off a bunch of firecrackers.

It is already a custom to set off firecrackers to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. This is the case before and after the New Year's Eve dinner for the people. There are hundreds of villages in our pavilion, with firecrackers The sound couldn't stop for a long time.

There is a stove in the house. Although it is not big, the temperature is not low.

A family of three can just wear jackets.

The table is full of meat and vegetables, with very few vegetarian dishes.

One vegetarian dish Less.

Secondly, in this era, there is nothing to be afraid of. Ordinary people have no chance to eat meat every day, and snacks high in oil and salt have never been heard of.

Festivals are of course a good opportunity to eat meat as much as you want..

But no one is pretentious or afraid of being fat.

"That is to say, under the rule of the great master……"

Looking at the meat and vegetables on the table, Yao's eyes were red. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Isn't it?……"Yue Fan came in with a cannon, and tore a chicken leg directly. While eating, his mouth was full of oil, and he smiled and said:"Last year, our family didn't have any meat dishes during the New Year, so we just used some meat to wrap some flat food and celebrated the New Year.."

Yue Fei laughed and scolded:"You remember this clearly, but if you say it, it will make your mother sad!"

Yue Yao shook his head and said:"The reason why I am sad for my mother is not because of this, but because I think of your father. He has never enjoyed such a blessing for a day. What a blessing. Also, your eldest sister has never been blessed in our family, and she married into a poor family. This time we ran away from the disaster, but the Gao family refused to leave, and we don’t know what’s going on now.……"

"well……"

Yue Fei is maturing day by day, unlike Yue Fan who only cares about eating. He pondered for a while and then said:"Don't worry, mother, I will have some time off before I take up my post in the camp after the new year. I will give you a few more days." On vacation, go back to Tangyin to visit, burn paper at Dad's grave, and find out how my eldest sister is doing now."

Yue Yao was moved and said:"Wu Lang, you are really sensible. Mom is very pleased, but you still don't want to delay official business. In a year or two, your sixth brother will be able to accompany your mother back to Tangyin."

Yue Fei smiled and said:"Don't worry, mother, we really have a holiday, at most three or five days will be enough. Just explain the matter. , the boss won’t be unkind."

"That's good, that's good……"

The couple were talking, and through the small glass window, Yue Fei suddenly saw a pavilion soldier holding a lantern walking towards his home on the village road.

There was also a couple and a boy, both covered in snow.

The snow kept falling before and after dark.

Everything is white.

On the contrary, the village after dark was reflected in white snow, and the visibility was much brighter.

On New Year's Eve, everyone lives their own lives, and there is no room for gossiping on this day.

Early tomorrow morning, women from all households will dress up their husbands and children, put on new clothes and robes, and start walking around each other to pay New Year greetings according to the seniority and distance of their relatives.[]

This kind of large-scale New Year greetings is a very important social event in this era. There are always some people in a clan who may not be at home for most of the year, or they are honest people who stay at home all day long and don’t like to go out. They can only meet at this time. The elders and relatives met with the younger generations. After the first month, many people went to seek their own futures.

At this time, the pavilion soldiers led people to Yue Fei's home...

Yue Fei had a vague idea in his mind, and his body was shaken...

But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that if he guessed wrong, he would make his mother sad.

At that moment, Yue Fei just said:"Mom, there are guards patrolling the night outside. I'll go out and take a look.""

"Bring some meat buns to others"

"Forget it, they are not allowed to accept it. The people on duty in the pavilion tonight are rewarded ten times the reward, and meals are also prepared for them."

"That's fine, go and have a look and come back."

Liangshan's official administration is not outstanding, but quite outstanding.

Various legal regulations have both the essence of the Qin and Han Dynasties and the strengths of later generations. Combined with the current reality, it can be said to be a hundred streets ahead of the Song Dynasty.

For example, sending food, this It is certain that they are not allowed to collect it. Even if it is only worth a few cents, the consequences of taking it will be the same as if it is thousands of cents. It is a precaution.

Some people say that they are afraid of disappointing the people. Wang Lun said at that time, as long as the things are collected, over time, the ant nest will collapse thousands of miles. At that time, the people were really disappointed.

In addition, there were regulations on official duties, daily management, and even private life.

For example, adultery with the wives and daughters of ordinary people would be punished as rape.

Some people just refused to accept it, such as If a woman really likes a certain official, how can she be so general?

Wang Lun used the Han family's"two-year law" to refute it. The two-year law formulated by Empress Lu also stipulated in this way.

Ordinary people's wives and daughters, if they weren't trying to The benefits brought by the power in the hands of officials, are all the officials more beautiful than Long Yang?

Don't be ridiculous.

Even if there are occasional special circumstances, they cannot cover up the general situation.

Similar to all, the departments under Liangshan It can be said that the discipline is extremely strict.

Therefore, when people see small officials such as pavilions and soldiers who deal directly with the village, their first reaction is to see if there is anything they can help with.

If this were replaced by officials from the Song Dynasty... of course they could Hide first, push away if you can't avoid it. It's impossible for anyone to take the initiative to find someone uncomfortable next to a junior official in the Song Dynasty.

Even a police officer like Song Jiang, who is at the level of a section chief, has made enough money to make all the changes in the world..

One can imagine how rotten the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was.

Yue Fei rushed out, and within a few steps, snow fell on his face.

The pavilion soldiers also saw him from a distance, and walked closer, holding a lantern. The soldier in the pavilion smiled and said:"Wu Lang of the Yue family, do you have an eldest sister who is married to a Gao family and is also from Tangyin?"

"Yes, that's right……"

Yue Fei has already greeted him.

The man and woman walking over were his sister and brother-in-law, weren't they?

Brother-in-law Gao Huaiyuan is a member of Tangyin family. He is tall and handsome. The Yue Fei family is also a good family with a family history in Tangyin. The two families have been friends for generations. After getting married, the relationship between sister and brother-in-law is also very good.

It's just that the Gao family and the Yue Fei family are becoming increasingly poor and distressed. Gao Huaiyuan has failed in many attempts, and his family's wealth has been consumed a lot. In recent years, floods and droughts have made things worse.

When the Yue family joined the refugee team, the Gao family hesitated again and again, but Gao Yuanhuai was thinking about this year's rural 1.1 examination, so he gritted his teeth and stayed.

There was no news from this stay.

When he first saw his eldest sister and brother-in-law, Yue Fei was really happy.

But he has a deep knowledge of cultivating qi, and he is no longer a silly boy with half-grown head.

After taking a few steps back, Yue Fei bowed his head in his pocket and said solemnly:"I've met my eldest sister, brother-in-law."

The eldest sister had already burst into tears. At this time, she stepped forward and hugged Yue Fei, crying:"Wu Lang, it's not easy to find you." Got it"

"Sister, what happened?"

"Alas," Sister Yue said,"Tang Yin implemented the land confiscation law and took away the few acres of farmland left at home. There was some grain stored in the house, but it was also taken away during tax collection. If he still kept it at home, either Starve to death, or your brother-in-law will have to do hard labor. Later, I heard someone say that the people in Liangshan were very prosperous. Think about it, my younger brother and mother are here, so why not come and join you?……"

"That's how it should be."

Yue Fei nodded calmly and looked at his brother-in-law. There was something he wanted to ask clearly first:"Brother-in-law, will you take part in the interpretation test next year?"

"Not participating anymore."Gao Huaiyuan said angrily:"This is an unfair way of doing things, and the imperial court, which preys on the common people and drains the lake, is going to join them in the imperial examination?"

Yue Fei nodded lightly. Sure enough, although his brother-in-law is pedantic and a nerd, he has fairness and justice in his heart.

Some nerds don't care about the injustice in the world. They only have the word"loyalty to the emperor" in their minds. It seems that it is wrong to rebel if the people cannot survive. Stretching out your neck to be chopped off by the imperial court, or starving your whole family to death, is the way to be loyal and righteous. It is like reading a book into a dog's belly.

Gao Huaiyuan said uneasily:"Fifth brother, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you all"
