When Chongzhen opened the memorial, he immediately became happy. Yang Fan's memorial had always been a source of happiness for him. The sentences were often illogical, the allusions were poor, and a few new words often popped up. Although he had never heard of it, he thought carefully about it.
I think it's very appropriate.
"You all take a look, it's Yang Qing's memorial. Every time I read his memorial, I laugh to death. Fortunately, his handwriting is pretty good, otherwise, he wrote this memorial. There is no need to build slaves.
, he was beaten to death by his teacher a long time ago."
Empress Zhou took it and took a look at it, and also smiled and said: "Yang Qing is also simple and cute. Although it is plain and simple, it also means auspiciousness. If everything can come true, doesn't it mean that everything goes well?
.”
Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan also came over to take a look. Concubine Yuan said: "Hey, Yang Fan said that during the Chinese New Year, their military camp will hold a willow shooting competition. Please give your permission. They will hold a shooting competition with muskets and bows and arrows."
Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "Normally, we set off firecrackers in the capital for fear of disturbing the people, but every family sets off firecrackers on the New Year's Day, and the whole city is so noisy. I guess we can't hear the firecrackers, so we should just play them. This is also me
The Ming Dynasty military camp has an old tradition of celebrating the New Year, which means to be prepared for danger in times of peace. The whole country is celebrating the New Year and is relaxed, but the soldiers cannot relax."
Concubine Tian looked at the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Fan asked for instructions and said that he has prepared a lot of fireworks and wants to set them off on Jingshan Mountain to show the atmosphere of the new dynasty and that your Majesty and the people will have fun together. What are these fireworks? They are fireworks."
"Yang Qing's fireworks should be fireworks, which means fireworks. His wording is always a little different from ordinary people. Since he is planning to set it off on Jingshan Mountain, he must be somewhat sure. The official and folk fireworks of the Ming Dynasty compete with each other. If it is
It would be embarrassing to compare with others. When it gets dark, I will place wine on the platform and watch tonight's fireworks with you and the concubines. No, it's those fireworks. People set off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but his fireworks
But it’s interesting to have it released on New Year’s Eve.”
There is a lot of traffic in front of Xinghe Supermarket. Starting from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Xinghe Supermarket suddenly became very popular. The products here are so comprehensive. The prices are still lower than outside.
There are many rich and powerful people in the capital, but there are also more poor people. Every point saved by a small family is equivalent to a point earned. The rich and powerful businessmen come here mainly because of the complete range of goods, and there are many goods that are not available elsewhere. They buy what they like when they see it.
, and you don’t have to walk a lot.
Especially ladies from official families like to come and visit.
The poor people come here simply to save some money. Whether it is cheap food, cloth, or oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, they are all used in life and are indispensable every day.
If you save a little each time, you can make clothes for your baby.
The supermarket is also considerate and divides the goods directly into high-priced areas, medium-priced areas and low-priced areas. Similar products have different quality and different prices. In this way, different customers can choose where to buy based on their own financial strength.
Generally speaking, the low-price area has the largest area, but it also has the largest number of people. After all, there are many poor people everywhere.
Zheng Sanfa, his wife, daughter, and son crowded in the low-price area of Xinghe Supermarket. They did not go to other areas at all. He knew how much money he had in his pocket.
They pushed one or two small carts at the door and went straight to the wheat flour and grains area. The small carts were actually made of steel wire, and they could even put their twelve-year-old son on the cart and push them. It was really a good thing.
Their purpose today is to purchase ten kilograms of white rice to make rice to worship their ancestors. They will also buy ten kilograms of white bread dumplings and a hundred kilograms of cornmeal evaporated cakes to eat. After the cornmeal is cooked, it becomes plentiful and fluffy, and both adults and children love to eat it.
, just with radish soup and cabbage soup, you can feel full.
He was very happy when he talked about cornmeal. There was such a cheap cereal. It cost three kilograms per penny. His family of four could make steamed rice cakes from three kilograms of cornmeal and the whole family could eat them all in one day. It was so cheap.
Since opening this supermarket, his family has been able to have two meals a day. Before, he didn’t even have to think about it. Grain costs a penny per pound. He has to go out to work, and he can’t work without enough food.
He had one dry meal in the morning, while his mother-in-law and two children only had two meals of porridge.
When I arrived at the food area, I saw, hey, there are huge crowds of people. Fortunately, I got up early. Just wait in line. You can buy cheap food, so why bother waiting in line?
I feel happy in my heart. Fortunately, the supermarket has restricted purchases. One person can only buy ten kilograms of rice and noodles. Otherwise, if there were so many people, they would have been sold out long ago.
"Dear neighbors, today there is a big New Year's sale on fat pork. There is a special price. It costs fifteen cents per pound. Each household with a grain book is limited to purchasing five pounds, while supplies last. Those who want to buy have to wait in line after buying the grain." A job in a supermarket.
shouted loudly.
The crowd coaxed and started talking. Unexpectedly, there was a big surprise of holiday eggs. The people here are not wealthy groups. They often haven't seen oil stars for several years, so they can still afford the price.
"Dad, why don't we buy five pounds of fat meat after buying food, and make a big meal of dumplings stuffed with meat and cabbage for the Chinese New Year. Mom and dad haven't eaten meat in two years."
Zheng Sanfa has ten shoemakers and earns one penny and six cents of silver a month. This income is very low in the capital. Fortunately, his wife is good at embroidery. Plus she washes and mends clothes, she can make seventy or eighty yuan a month.
, the family can barely make ends meet. We can only wait for our son to make money and things will get better.
"This pork usually sells for 20 cents. It's five cents cheaper today. Buy it, buy it for five jins. This year we will eat dumplings stuffed with meat." Zheng Sanfa gritted his teeth. The money saved from the corn flour was enough to buy pork.
When they heard that they were buying meat, a pair of children immediately cheered.
Xu Xianchun's wife Zhang and daughter Xu Tingting also went to the supermarket with their maid and two servants today, but they went to the high-priced area.
"What's wrong with daddy recently? He keeps losing his temper. Today I want to come out and you'll be mean to me." Xu Tingting pouted dissatisfiedly. During this time, daddy is always preoccupied and gets angry at every little thing. Yesterday, a servant spilled some tea.
After asking for some water, he was dragged down and whipped three times.
"Well, it's not that Duke Wei's future is not good. Your father still doesn't know what will happen. Can he not be annoyed? Don't hang around in front of his eyes when you are fine."
The area in front of you is all wooden barrels, and the brand on them reads fruit candies. The wooden barrels are full of colorful fruit candies, and different colors represent different flavors.
"Mom, why don't you buy some candies? I've finished the three kilograms of candies I bought last time." Xu Tingting begged.
"You are just a greedy person. Fruit candy bars are so expensive. They only cost one tael per catty. You are such a greedy little cat. You have eaten three catties of candy bars so quickly. Three taels of silver is enough for a poor family to spend a year." Mrs. Zhang
He complained. But he still picked up the small shovel and said to the waiter: "Some of everything, buy five kilograms of candy."
A smile immediately appeared on Xu Tingting's face, and for a moment it seemed as if the surrounding light dimmed a lot. Her beautiful smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and five kilograms of candy instantly bloomed. Many rich men around her were mesmerized by the sight.
A scholar-looking man quickly touched his shoulder to a young man next to him, Brother Zhu, who wanted to strike up a conversation. He scolded: "You are crazy, that is the daughter of Xu Xianchun, Fusi Town Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town, you don't want to"
