Chapter 30 I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Tang Dynasty
Little Qingyu, who had only been studying for a day, could already shake her head and say a few words, "In the beginning, human nature is good." Lin Wanwan was so happy that she hugged her, kissed her twice, and praised: "My little Yu'er is awesome!"
Xiaoyu chuckled, her face full of pride.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the nobles in Chang'an City would hold a cold melon feast (that is, watermelon), and Lin Wanwan said that she must arrange this too.
It was the first time for Xiao Yuer to see Hangua, and she was very excited.
Lin Wanwan specially bought these from Hyundai yesterday. They are absolutely first-class melons. If placed in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, they would be tribute-level treasures that could be directly presented to the emperor.
The two doors in front connecting to the school have been closed, but the east door in Lin Wanwan's courtyard is still open, making it easier for clan members to visit.
The moonlight was just right, and Lin Mengbo came to Lin Wanwan's house carrying a bag of swimming crabs and prawns.
After spending these days together, Lin Mengbo discovered that Lin Wanwan really liked to eat seafood, and was not being pretentious.
The things he had in his hands were all taken from the tidal flats, just for Lin Wanwan. Because they were not fish, they would not fetch much money. But Lin Wanwan liked them, so he naturally had to do his best.
Today was the first day of class. His two children even ate and took food without giving anything in return. He felt very sorry.
Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu were lighting mosquito coils and enjoying the moon and eating melons on the open-air balcony on the second floor. When they saw Lin Mengbo coming in, they hurriedly waved him up and cut half a cold melon for him.
Lin Mengbo refused repeatedly, but in the end he could not persuade the tall and powerful Kunlun.
In this remote place of Wanghai, the tribesmen have never seen cold melons, and naturally they don’t know how precious they are. If someone with some experience in Wanghai Town or Xiaoxi Town saw the cold melons that Lin Wanwan gave away casually, they would
My eyes must have popped out of my head.
After Lin Mengbo left, the head of the Lin family, Lin Mengli's family, and Lin Mengjin's family all came over with goods from abroad. Lin Wanwan naturally accepted them all and gave them cold melons in return. Lin Wanwan bought a lot of cold melons and put them in the cellar.
.
In addition to these adults, there was also the arrival of a little guy, which quite surprised Lin Wanwan. His name was Lin Goucheng, and he was one of Lin Wanwan's students. He was eight years old this year. Due to malnutrition, he had a sallow complexion and a thin body.
"Master, I brought a little pet for Sister Yu!" Lin Goucheng held up his new gadget, "This is a little turtle, it's beautiful."
Xiao Yu'er stretched her neck and took advantage of the bright moonlight to look at the little turtle in Lin Gou Sheng's hand. She was indeed a little interested, but because she was holding a cold melon in her hand, it was inconvenient to hold it.
"Brother Gou Sheng, did you catch this from the sea?"
Lin Gou Sheng shook his head: "I picked it up at the beach."
"Thank you, Brother Gou Sheng!" Xiao Qingyu politely accepted the toy and gave Lin Gou Sheng three pieces of snowskin mooncakes and half a cold melon in return.
Lin Wanwan also took a curious look. This is still a little turtle. Since the little guy likes it, let's keep it. There happens to be a newly dug pond in the yard.
When Yun Shang went out to take the cold melons to share with everyone, her heart hurt more than her owner! Before she was sold to Lin Wanwan, she had been trained by Ren Yazi for two years, and had lived in Chang'an for half a year. As for the value of cold melons,
Still understand.
In the Tang Dynasty, cold melons were imported from the Western Regions. Once imported, their value can be imagined.
Lin Wanwan took Kunlun on a trip and came back with a lot of good things, including this cold melon. At that time, both Yun Shang and Huanong were shocked. Their master was richer than they imagined!
Lin Wanwan casually gave one to Yunshang, Huanong and Kunlun, which moved the three slaves to tears. The master was willing to give them such a precious cold melon. The value of this melon was greater than their worth.
Got it!
Lin Wanwan said quickly: "On this beautiful moonlit night, please put away your tears."
The servants had cold melons, and Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu were naturally not disappointed. The mother and daughter each had half a piece, and they used long-handled tongues, spoons and daggers (similar to modern spoons) to eat them. If you have never tried eating cold melons, use a spoon and dagger to eat them.
If you eat it without a soul, you will have no soul.
Lin Wanwan watched Xiao Qingyu eat the cold melon in her mouth. Not only was she not annoyed, but her heart was filled with tenderness.
From time to time, the little guy raised his head and smiled sweetly at Lin Wanwan, which made Lin Wanwan feel sweeter and cooler than eating cold melon!
It's so nice to have a little guy who relies on me wholeheartedly by my side on such a reunion night.
Lin Wanwan believes that no matter whether she is poor or rich, her little one will definitely love her. The word mother means a lot to a child.
After getting sick, little Qingyu forgot some unhappy things. And Lin Wanwan got tired of her every day, constantly brainwashing the little guy: "Who are you from my mother?"
The little guy will immediately answer: "My dear sweet sauce!"
After such a long time, Xiao Qingyu almost forgot that she was just a child picked up by her mother.
The next day, as soon as the school yard door opened, several children were already waiting. Except for the group that came yesterday, other people in the clan heard about the school giving out cakes and eating meat, and today they went against all odds to help the children.
Sent.
Lin Guofu's family used old clothes to make two undershirts for girls overnight, and sent over the next day their four children, big and small.
Although there are fewer people to do the work at home, having a meal is more important than anything else.
Lin Wanwan saw that the school was packed with nearly a hundred children today, and she immediately divided the children into several sections according to their age.
Fortunately, the main room is big enough. The children can squeeze in and sit down, without having to separate in different rooms. It can be treated as a big class.
With more children, it is inevitable to make noises. They kept making noises like ducks, which made Lin Wanwan's head hurt.
Lin Wanwan saw that this was not going to work. If she yelled for a day, her throat would start to smoke.
So in each block, she selected the older one to be the captain and managed the children. She also promised the captains that the captain would get an extra piece of cake as reward.
But those selected fur dolls were so happy that they lost their skin and made no fuss, and they only wanted to be good wives.
In addition, Lin Wanwan also used the magic method of melting beans, and rewarded anyone who was quiet and behaved with one. This move immediately grabbed the necks of the "little ducks", and all of them pursed their mouths tightly and stretched their mouths.
Neck looking at her.
At the end of the day's teaching time, Lin Wanwan slipped the clean babies out and gave each of them a piece of jujube paste cake as a reward.
What’s so bad now is that the children came home from school and clamored to take a bath and wash their hair!
The tribesmen grinned on their lips and said, "After all, this Wan Niang was raised by an old fairy. Her love of cleanliness is exactly the same as that of the nobles in the city! How can we country people be so particular about it?"
But then he turned around and removed three layers of skin from his children. He even cleaned his own yard inside and out. He must not let lice ruin the children's business of earning cakes!
