In fact, this is not strange at all, and I don't look at the families of almost all the craftsmen who live in Yumen Pass, as well as the group that followed Huo Gang, and the people from these trading houses who moved in later, these people are all rich, and there are not many things that the Han really calls luxury.

And what really deserves the attention of all the people is the clothes, cloth, and food.

The time has entered the twentieth month of the lunar month, and there are ten more days to be the New Year, and the atmosphere of the entire Yumen Pass has become lively, and the people of many nearby villages have started to enter the Yumen Pass one by one, and these carriages come from all the villages near the Yumen Pass.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and they are all coming here to buy some food, as well as new clothes, cloth, and things for the New Year.

Many people may not be able to buy much, but they also want to come to the city to have a look, this era is not the afterlife, with the arrival of the Spring Festival, it can be said that from the beginning of the wax moon, the atmosphere of the New Year has gradually begun.

The new clothes of the people of this era are made by their own families, and those who can buy ready-to-wear clothes are rich people, and for the vast majority of people, it is good that they can buy a piece of cloth to sew their own clothes.

And this year, for all the people, it can be said that everyone can buy a piece of cloth, because almost all the people have been provided with their daily food by the chief, and each of them has found a job.

Even in winter, they have no shortage of work, so they can buy new clothes for every household, and because of the use of wool, most families can make a wool cotton coat, not made of wool cloth, but made of two pieces of linen filled with wool.

With the continuous promotion of wool technology, ordinary people can also spend a little money to clean and play a lot of soft wool, so that almost every household can make cotton clothes.

This kind of cotton clothing is warm in winter that they have never felt before, and unlike leather clothing, it is warmer and lighter.

At this moment, Yumen Village, which is located not far from Yumen Pass, as the closest village to Yumen Pass, after Yumen Village was classified as the leader's villager, everyone in the whole village was excited, which was an honor for them! Being able to farm for the leader is something that no number of people can ask for.

The Zhuangzi where the chieftain was on vacation was not far from them, right next to their village, in the upper reaches of the river, but for the time being the land had only been leveled, and it would take next year for the construction to really begin, but the chief's cattle, sheep, and fields were allocated to their village.

It was their village chief Bai Ling who was responsible for the distribution, but they all wanted to plant it for free, but the village chief said that farming for the leader is the same as farming for the state, but because these fields are the leader's private land, they can't be wasted for public purposes, so the leader can't let them be exempt from taxes, but they plant an acre of land, and the leader can give them forty percent of the harvest, so that they can use the extra to collect taxes.

After Bai Ling said this, the entire village almost rebelled, because it was simply an insult to them to them, and most of the people in this village had fled.

With a new house to live in, a field to grow, and even now they can eat fine grain, not to mention those who have fled, even the rich families in their former village cannot live such a life!

And the leaders who gave them such a life, they farmed for the chief, and they still needed money? Isn't that being poked in the back and scolded? It's just that their protest was blocked back by Bai Ling's words, very simply, these words were said by the leader.

If they don't agree, the leader won't let them plant, and the leader says that he is setting an example for the world, and if they don't take money, it will ruin the leader's reputation.

Hearing this, the villagers did not object, because no matter what, they could not ruin the reputation of the chief, and they could only accept the grain.

But this is about to be the New Year, some of the things that should be prepared are also ready to be prepared, Liu Sanhu got up early in the morning, and today he has something important to do, that is, to slaughter the fattest sheep in the family.

And the neighbor who came to help was the neighbor Daniel Zhang's family, and another neighbor, Liu Tie. Liu Tie is not Han, although his name is Han, but he is actually Turkic, the name of this Han is that he learned Sinicization, after knowing Chinese characters, the teacher helped to take it, and his whole family has taken similar names.

Because Liu Tie has a good relationship with Liu Sanhu, he uses the same surname as Liu Sanhu.

Liu Sanhu, who got up, began to sharpen the knife, the children and others in the family did not get up, after sharpening the knife, Liu Sanhu first fed the sheep in the sheepfold with green storage forage, and then fed the horses, and Daniel Zhang next door also came.

"Haha, you woke up so early today?" Daniel Zhang said with a smile.

"Yes, isn't that going to kill a sheep today? I thought to myself that I should get up early, and after we finish killing it early, the mutton will have to be dealt with. Liu Sanhu said with a smile.

"What? Willing? Although this is a ram, if you raise it for another year, you can grow a few more catties of meat. Daniel Zhang said with a smile.

"No, my mother said, it's about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, in previous years we sacrificed to our ancestors, and it was already a great thing to have a bowl of white porridge at the tablet, but this year is different, this year there is the leader's immortal tablet, this sacrifice is the most important, there are not many things that can be killed, just slaughter a sheep, and then kill two chickens and two ducks." Liu Sanhu said seriously.

The smile on Daniel Zhang's face also disappeared, he directly gave Liu Sanhu a thumbs up, and then said: "I didn't see it, you kid is so filial, didn't say it, by the way, you wait for me, I'll go back and get something first, is Liu Tie coming?" ”

"Not yet, I guess it's going to be soon." Liu Sanhu said with a smile.

"Then I'll take it back and get it first, and your sister-in-law will come over and boil water with your mother-in-law in a while." Daniel Zhang said.

"Okay." Liu Sanhu was not polite, more than half a year has passed, and they are already extremely familiar with each other, and there is no need to say polite words.

Liu Sanhu pulled out the largest smashing ram in the sheepfold and tied it to the side.

Liu Sanhu's family also got up quickly, especially his children, but these little guys can't count on it, and his wife has already started boiling water.

While speaking, there was a sudden sound of people outside, Liu Sanhu stood up and looked back, he immediately froze, because Daniel Zhang also led a sheep in, not only Daniel Zhang, Liu Tie who followed Daniel Zhang actually pulled a sheep in his hand.

"What are you?" Liu Sanhu was a little confused.

"What? If you are allowed to kill sheep, we are not allowed to kill sheep? We have all discussed, we can kill sheep together today, and I don't know what your rules are, but we grassland people use whole sheep for sacrifices, and we have more sheep than you, so this year we decided to kill two. Liu Tie laughed twice and said.

"Okay, but we can't compare to you." Liu Sanhu smiled bitterly, Liu Tie used to be from Xue Yantuo's department, so in addition to the sheep he assigned, he himself also had a few sheep, and this year his family has already laid more than a dozen lambs, and it is estimated that he will be able to lay more than ten or twenty lambs next year.

His flock of sheep is estimated to exceed 100 in two years, and there is naturally no problem in killing two sheep.

"One of you is enough, in fact, it will not affect the growth of your flock next year, it is almost the New Year, give your children some meat to eat, see how thin they are." Liu Tie spoke straighter, looked at Liu Sanhu's child, and said with a smile.

Liu Sanhu smiled bitterly twice, shook his head and said, "Brother, do you think we are the same as you, how dare we dare to eat meat before, it's good to be able to fill in the stomach." ”

"Brother, you're wrong, do you think we used to eat meat? Yes, we live on the sheep, but for a year, unless we are going to starve to death, no one dares to kill the sheep, and for most of the year, we eat coarse chaff and wild vegetables, and kill the sheep, only when there is no way. Liu Tie said in a calm tone.

"And from this year onwards, I think not only us, but all the people in Dahan may be able to eat meat several times a year." Liu Tie looked around and said with a smile.

"Indeed." Liu Sanhu looked around and nodded seriously, if next year is the same as this year, then their family will definitely be able to eat meat next year, and not just once!

"Okay, okay, don't be sad two of you, it's time to work, today the three of us will eat at your house, borrow your stove, it's been a year, let's get together." Daniel Zhang next to him said with a simple smile.

"Good!" Liu Sanhu also smiled and nodded, and soon, when Liu Tie and Daniel Zhang's family came over, Liu Sanhu's home instantly became lively, seven or eight children were playing in the yard, and adults had already begun to slaughter sheep.

The main knife is naturally Liu Tie, although Liu Tie has never eaten much meat in his life, but the sheep has also been killed many times, so naturally he is the main knife.

But before Liu Tie could make a move, another person's voice came from the gate: "Yohe, you guys are lively enough here." ”

Hearing the voice, the people in the courtyard looked over, and Liu Sanhu immediately smiled when he saw the people who came in: "It's the village chief, the village chief is eating at my house at noon?" Eat meat today. ”

"Come on, I'll come to the door myself, you kid just invited, and you didn't invite me sincerely at first glance." Bai Ling scolded with a smile.

Liu Sanhu also laughed, but he didn't care, because in the past half a year, many people in their village have received a lot of help from Bai Ling, but none of the people who want to invite Bai Ling to eat have succeeded.
