Chapter 2909: Spring Festival Celebrations but Some People Are Worried
"New Year's Eve! Let's set off fireworks and firecrackers! Let's wear new clothes!"
The Spring Festival Gala was going on. In the middle of the night, the children changed into new clothes and ran out to watch the fireworks.
The show at this moment was a group of newlyweds performing songs and dances, which made them the most depressed.
It was finally their turn. Those who watched the fireworks watched the fireworks, and those who cooked dumplings cooked dumplings.
Even if they wanted to watch TV, the sound of firecrackers was too loud and they couldn't hear anything.
Of course, such an opportunity was not easy for them. The "big guys" in Liyuan, Pingkangfang and Sigongfang could cover everything.
Fireworks were set off for half an hour, and the people continued to watch the show and eat. The newlyweds just went down.
Someone comforted them, so they were not afraid that no one would watch it, because there would be a replay tomorrow.
Li Yi slept in the afternoon and woke up at ten o'clock in the evening. He ate a dumpling in the middle of the night.
He had to keep watch, so it was best to drink wine, eat sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds, and not occupy the stomach.
The children and the elderly who also went to bed early were energetic at the moment.
The children in the village were not so fierce in eating. They ate a few dumplings, followed by juice and dried fruits.
The children of the two prefectures outside were wealthy, and they put out roast chicken, roast duck, braised fish, pig's trotters, smoked rabbit meat...
Added soy products and candies, and then ate dumplings.
For those who don't cook, some dishes need to be heated on the stove or on the kang.
People from Silla, Bohai, Hou Turkic, Tubo, and Southwest Barbarians felt the excitement of the Spring Festival in the Tang Dynasty and found that it was indeed incomparable.
Southwest Barbarians are greedy for meat. They have vegetables to eat in winter, but they are always short of meat.
People from other places are greedy for everything, especially ordinary people, who make money through their own efforts.
During the New Year, they found that they could afford it and get a sumptuous meal with only a part of the money.
A full table of things plus wine and drinks only cost five days' wages.
The people of Bohai and Tubo felt the most deeply, because they couldn't earn these things in a month before.
The people on both sides of the railway eat better than other places, including Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling and other places.
The people eat dumplings, staple food, and side dishes are similar to Chang'an, a lot of meat and vegetables.
Some people would put rice noodles into hot pot when eating, as there was a lot of indica rice locally.
They didn't lack flour, as the train connected Hebei Road and Chang'an, so they could just transport it.
When there was no train, they used the canal to transport the goods, which was laborious and expensive, and some people were corrupt.
With the train, the amount of money was fixed, and it was impossible to be corrupt.
The only way to cheat was that there was no freight when the train transported the court's things, only the tax credit for the discount of coal.
If a car was loaded with 20 tons of goods, it would be no problem to add a few hundred kilograms.
The person in charge would get some of his own things, or make an agreement with a certain merchant to load the goods and pay half of the normal freight.
There were thousands or tens of thousands of official cars a year, and the profit was huge.
Before the New Year, the accounts were settled together, including the merchants and the person in charge, and the money was taken out to fine the merchants extra. The person in charge could not fine them because they had no money.
If the money was a penny, everyone would buy things and hand them in, including the things, and they were not worth the original money.
The merchants were very depressed, and it was more expensive than normal, and they would never take advantage of this again.
The person in charge was beaten, but they were still asked to continue working. The insufficient money would be deducted from their salaries, one at a time.
They finally understood that Li Yi had known about this trick long ago, and he was too bad.
However, when the train was transporting coal, the coal blocks fell around the rails, and the people picked them up and burned them at home, but Li Yi didn't care.
As long as you hear the noise, hide quickly and don't get hit by the car.
"Taibai, it's a holiday, you drink."
Li Bai was at the home of Ma Jin, the village chief of Xiaoluonan Village.
Ma Jin brought him wine, wine, Li Bai loved wine.
Li Bai looked aggrieved. Before taking the imperial examination, his food and drink in Xiaoluonan Village were all taken care of by the village, and he only had to lead people to write poems.
After taking the imperial examination, he was arranged to be the village assistant. There was no wine, and he had to buy it himself if he wanted to drink.
The wine in Zuixianju was delicious, but the money was not enough. I heard that the wine in Wentianlanxiangge was also good, but it was a pity that he couldn't get in.
Then the village chief asked him to work all day long, and a lot of forms needed to be filled in.
Some people come to soak in the hot springs, drink and have fun. If I secretly participate, my salary will be deducted when I come back, saying that I am absent from my post.
Ma Jin took me to watch the excrement removal, and gave me tools to work with me.
Life is unbearable. My fingers are still swollen now. I was pricked by picking eggplants in the greenhouse.
"Ma Cunzheng, should I change my job after the New Year?"
Li Bai drank a sip of wine, which tasted good. He wanted to leave. He wanted to enter the court and be a doctor! Any of the six ministries would do.
"You are in the middle of the evaluation this year. I have already promoted you to the highest level against my conscience. Otherwise, it would be in the middle and lower level. You have to go up before you can leave."
Ma Jin pushed the plate of dumplings in front of Li Bai, eat, don't be polite.
"Ma Cunzheng, can I write a poem for you?"
Li Bai was ready to try his best to write a good poem to impress Cunzheng.
Ma Jin nodded: "Writing poems is good. Of course! It has nothing to do with the assessment. You go to the Pear Garden to write? I'll call Li Dongzhu?"
"No, I want to enter the three provinces and six ministries, and be a chief clerk first. I don't mind."
Li Bai knew that Li Longji rarely went to the Pear Garden, and it was useless to see Li Longji. You have already passed the exam, and you are given an extra promotion?
It was agreed that the promotion would be subject to the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel and the approval of His Majesty, but the real situation was that the list of officials in the three provinces and six ministries had to be shown to Li Yi.
Mo Jie, Haoran, and Ziyu had said when they were drinking and reciting poems with him, UU Kanshuwww.uukanshu.net Find Gangrou to write poems, he will accompany you, and painting is no problem either.
But if you want an official position, there is no one, so you can only arrange it for someone lower down, such as Assistant Muramasa.
He is said to be an assistant in Xiaoluonan Village, but most people still won't pay him! Be thankful!
Li Bai took a deep breath: "Ma Cunzheng, look at it. Do you think I'm undermining my talents by letting me do the work in the village? You speak with your conscience."
"Unyielding." Ma Jin shook his head: "The current plan for the village was finally decided by Dr. Li himself. Dr. Li did more work in the village than you did.
You still don’t know how to build walls with irregular stones, let alone weave fences, and you’re still bad at installing tiles on a house.
Dongzhu Li rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, entered the pig pen, stepped on the pig manure to take samples, and finally said that the stone was not good and water-permeable.
I asked you to dig out manure and you cried bitterness, but when it came to fertilizing, Mr. Li still took the samples himself.
Dongzhu Li still has no reputation. You are a Jinshi, so you can't do better than him? "
Li Bai listened, his expression was normal at first, but he was stunned at the last sentence, and looked at Ma Cunmasa in front of him with that look.
It seems to be asking: Are you serious? I took the merit test to become an official, and he, Li Yi...
"That's all, I won't compare you with Boss Li. Next year, no, you will do your best this year. I will try my best to give you a good grade in the first half of the year, but don't be lazy."
Ma Jin seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and wanted to make up for it.
He didn't want Li Bai, so he wanted to find someone with strong business ability, who happened to be taking the imperial examination this year.
After passing the exam, I studied for two months and got rid of Li Bai.
Writing poetry is useless, the village has to live its life. The new motorcycles in Lijiazhuang are good, and the village should buy a few.
If the train has time, it won't leave until then. A three-wheeler with a sidecar can leave at any time.
