In an age of scarcity, the way to express joy is nothing more than a meal!

If everyone is happy about this, then feast!

And if you meet the head of the family fighting for the country, go home safely. That no, it is necessary not to get drunk!

By the time Xiao Han jumped out of the bath bucket that was hot enough to remove pig hair, the courtyard outside was already full of people!

Before it gets dark, the red lantern is hung high! Under the lantern, a large table is neatly arranged, and those who know that it is Hou Ye who is going home, and those who don't know think that Hou Ye is marrying a daughter-in-law!

There are a lot of people coming, very much! The people in the industrial zone have basically come back except for those on duty, and even the Qianniuwei on duty outside has brought some broken snacks to eat and drink!

"People, there are already so many......" Xiao Han put on his robe, pushed the door, and was startled by the bustling scene first. The familiar and unfamiliar filled the courtyard, and Zhang Qiang was shouting at his loud voice to arrange seats for these people.

Some days I haven't seen each other, and I'm a little stranger to home. Xiao Han saw that there was a large area of black pressure in the courtyard, and there were many people who had no seats standing on the side. Seeing this, Steward Lu was busy looking for someone to move out the tables, chairs and benches at home, and lined them out along the cement road at the door.

Every time there is a big feast, it is an opportunity for the chef to show off his skills.

The proverb that the world's food comes out of Chang'an, and Chang'an food comes out of the Xiao family's proverb has long been popular in this neighborhood. And this is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of a chef.

The backyard was blazing with smoke billowing in the sky. But don't worry, it's not a fire, it's several cauldrons running at the same time, making dishes for tonight's feast.

The fat cook's spatula that grew richer and richer flew over, and a big spoon was no less than the sword of the supreme master in his hand! A plate of delicacies full of color and aroma was served in an instant.

I drank a little too much tonight, and this was a little bit more restrained by the people around me when they thought that Xiao Han had just returned home.

Otherwise, there are so many people here, one person and one cup, Xiao Han would have to go to Hades to report today.

The hustle and bustle didn't end until midnight, and the wine scene was already as messy as a battlefield!

The men who had drunk too much staggered home to sleep, while the women of each family were busy putting away the dishes and chopsticks, and collecting the unfinished meals along the way.

Food is precious in this world, and even if you have money, you can't waste it at will.

Drunk and slightly drunk, he walks a little lightly. This is also the best feeling when drinking, one more point will be completely drunk, and one less point will not be able to appreciate the wonders of it.

The crowd was exhausted, and they all dispersed and left. However, Xiao Han did not go back to the house to sleep, but leaned on a chair in the living room, drinking tea while listening to Steward Lu talk about the recent situation at home.

Steward Lu was happy in his heart, and he also drank a few more drinks tonight. His face, which already had a little wrinkles, was shiny, and he held a thick account book in his hand and told Xiao Han about his recent expenditures and incomes.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Chai Shao sent a thousand pieces of copper, took away more than 100 armor clothes, and sent dozens of horses to ride. The industrial zone has been re-produced in accordance with the instructions of the Hou Ye. These horses are just lined up to come in handy, and they can be cultivated dozens of acres a day, which is more than ten times faster than oxen and plows! It's just that the horse can't walk the paddy field, and it will rot its hooves......"

"On the eighth day of the second month, a cement merchant surnamed Liu sent more than 800 pieces of copper for the construction of a garden for Chang'an wealthy merchants......"

Xiao Han, who was sitting on the main seat, faded away from his previous cynicism at this time, rubbed his temples, and suddenly interrupted Steward Lu's words: "Old Lu, there is no need to repeat these things, I can trust you!" How is our cotton now? Is it planted? ”

Steward Lu paused for a moment, he was not surprised by Xiao Han, and after closing the account book, he said to him: "Oh, back to Hou Ye's words, it has been planted a long time ago." Today, the old slave has also gone to see it, it has sprouted, our old Xia said, there will be a harvest in the autumn! ”

Lao Xia is the old farmer who used to be in the agricultural supervisor, and now here in Xiao Han, he has faintly become the mentor of the farmers in farming.

In a fiefdom, what can be planted on which field? He needs to see what seeds are growing well! And the cotton that Xiao Han explained at the beginning is his most important task now, and he will spend most of the day in the field every day to ponder the habits of this new crop.

"That's good!" Xiao Han was a little happy when he heard the news of the germination of cotton, and nodded: "Let people take care of those cottons, and let Lao Xia write down all the planting experience!" Don't underestimate this little thing, it will definitely become a very big industry in the future, at least not smaller than cement! ”

"Okay, don't worry! There is an old slave, there is absolutely no mistake! Steward Lu saw that Xiao Han said seriously, and nodded solemnly.

Xiao Han picked up the teacup and drank tea, while Steward Lu suddenly asked Xiao Han as if he remembered something: "Master Hou, there is one more thing, the family has a lot of money now!" The treasure trove we dug at the beginning is no longer full, you see, are we digging another bigger one? ”

"Too much money to fit in?" Xiao Han almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned his head to the side in time, which allowed Steward Lu to escape.

"Ahem, how could it be! Where do we get so much money? Xiao Han coughed and asked Steward Lu, how could he not know about the treasure house he dug at the beginning? From the very beginning, the scale was not small!

Later, after there was cement, at the suggestion of Master Cao, cement was added to expand again, and such a large treasure house couldn't even put money? I dreamed of having so much money in my last life! There is nowhere to use money in this life, but there is nowhere to put more money? Isn't that a big mockery?

"yes!" Steward Lu thought that Xiao Han's gaffe was because he was too happy, and shook his head proudly with the strength of the wine.

"Master Hou, you don't know, our Zhuangzi people all say that Master Hou, you are the God of Wealth! In less than half a year, it has accumulated wealth that others can't touch in a lifetime! And it's all clean! Every article has a right conscience! Even the boss of Haoshangxin, who came here a few days ago, admired it! ”

"What? Xin Peng? What is he doing here? Oh, by the way, he asked for a recipe for a cement kiln. Xiao Han was a little stunned, he was in a hurry for a while, and he almost forgot about this guy.

Steward Lu grinned and said, "Fang Zi has already given it to him according to the contract signed by Hou Ye!" But this Xin shopkeeper deserves to be a famous businessman in Chang'an! When he came to see our cement kiln, he accidentally found that our family's bookkeeping method was different from other places!

The old slave was not there at the time, but he heard the people below say: After asking our family account office a few words, his eyes were green! It's good to say that we have to learn our bookkeeping methods!

At that time, the account office couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. I thought that he was a noble man who forgot a lot of things, and he forgot about it in two days. But I didn't expect him to personally bring a large sum of gold and silver and stewardship here that afternoon to learn our bookkeeping methods! Of course, we don't suffer. Not only did I get a lot of money, but I also learned a lot of business tricks from them, which I will need when we open a store this year! ”
