The three of them went on a trip, and Xu Chunshan, who had to miss her so much when she stayed in Fucheng, was also very busy.
October was in mid-October, and the pepper harvest was in progress. Manager Wu was very concerned about this matter, and directly used the token to transfer people to Magistrate Ye and Yang Weiming. The soldiers from the prefecture served as laborers to help harvest the peppers. Jinping
The guards were on guard and surrounded the entire Zhujiazhuang. No one was allowed to get close.
The reason why it is so urgent and important is because the spies in the north have obtained the exact information. As soon as winter comes, Donghu will declare war with Dayan.
This battle is unavoidable. Even if Donghu doesn't move, the emperor also wants to move.
The Donghu people are resistant to cold and frost, but the soldiers of Dayan are not necessarily able to do so. The emperor wants to take advantage of this time to completely deal with the Donghu, either to destroy them or to subjugate them. In short, he will not allow others to sleep soundly beside his couch!
This dried chili pepper that can make people feel hot will come in handy. At that time, each soldier will carry a pack with him and can chew it in his mouth at any time, so that he will not be afraid of the extremely cold place in Donghu.
.
Xu Chunshan simply lived in Zhujiazhuang to avoid running in both directions.
All the pepper fields of one thousand acres had to be harvested and dried. This was a big project. Just waiting for the sun to dry was a waste of time. There were simply too many manpower, so Xu Chunshan simply asked people to work in the empty houses in Zhujiazhuang.
After building the kang, he burned the kang all day long to dry it. In this way, it could be dried in just two days.
Dried chili peppers were sent to the capital one after another, batch after batch.
Xu Chunshan also enjoyed the convenience of collecting all his fifty acres of land with help. He kept twenty acres to make bean paste and thirty acres to dry chili peppers.
After making a batch first, I hurriedly made hot pot ingredients and served them to Azolla. When the weather turned cold, the Azolla hotpot that had stopped serving red soup hot pot for two months ushered in a big wave again. It was full every day and every seat was packed.
…
In Zhoucheng, there is Puxi Temple in the south of the city. There is a big temple fair every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. People burn incense, worship Buddha and go to the temple fair. There are seas of people and it is very lively.
On the second day of their trip to Zhoucheng, Xu Yinyin and her group caught up with this big temple fair.
Mrs. Xu knew that today she was going to a temple where incense was abundant and efficacious, so she had great expectations to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Early in the morning, after having breakfast, the group went to Puxi Temple.
You still don't need to take a car today. There are so many people at the big temple fair that you can't get through by car. It's too congested, so it's better to walk on your legs.
Before reaching Huaian Road in front of Puxi Temple, I could feel the excitement of the temple fair.
There are musical performances, juggling on stilts, ghost-fighting dances, vendors gathering together to sell things, and various fun activities such as hooping and arching.
This large temple fair is no less lively than Wa City.
Of course, people come mainly to burn incense and worship Buddha, so they head directly to the temple gate with their heads covered.
After going up the stone steps and entering the temple gate, I saw many people gathered in front of the curved stone sculpture on the right side of the door.
Xu Yinyin has already heard Dong Qinghua say this.
Under the curved stone sculpture, there is a sculpture of a stone monkey. It is said that touching the stone monkey can cure diseases and eliminate disasters and prolong life. Therefore, many people come to Puxi Temple and rush to touch the stone monkey.
And further inside, there is a bridge behind the main hall. There is a large copper coin hanging in the bridge hole under the bridge. There is a small copper bell in the hole of the copper coin, with the four words "bell ringing means good fortune" written on it. If you can hit the bell with a copper plate, you will be lucky.
, all your wishes will come true.
This is also a fun event that people rush to join in the fun.
Today's big temple fair, that's even more true.
Xu Yinyin told Mrs. Xu and others about these two items. Immediately, Mrs. Xu and others lined up to touch the stone monkey.
After touching the stone monkey, go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Mrs. Xu took Zhang Xiulan and prayed to all the Buddhas listed as gods. She asked the Buddha to bless the whole family in safety and health, and that everything goes well, and that the Xu family be prosperous and prosperous.
Xu Erlang and Luo Shi quietly went to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although they had only been married for a month, they had already come. It would be good to worship Bodhisattva and give them a child earlier.
After worshiping the Buddha, everyone went back to throw the bronze bell.
There were quite a few people betting, and they waited for a long time before their turn came. None of Old Man Xu and the others made a bet, but Xu Yinyin and Xu Dajun did. Old Man Xu was so happy that he shouted to them to think in his heart.
What you want to accomplish.
Nothing else, Xu Yinyin immediately made a wish that the wearing of curtains could be abolished. Of course, if it really works.
Xu Dajun, on the other hand, secretly thought that he could become a high school scholar, marry his sweet wife, and reach the pinnacle of his life.
Returning to the front, Mrs. Xu saw a place where people were seeking marriage, so she took Xu Wuya to cast a lot and check it out.
There were already many people in the hall, most of them from women's families. There were so many of them that they couldn't all go in, so they waited outside.
Xu Wuya's face turned red as a monkey's butt when she mentioned the matter of marriage. Fortunately, she was wearing a curtain so no one could see her.
She nervously shook her signature and took it out. Mrs. Xu picked it up and couldn't understand it, so she hurriedly pulled her to the signature clearance office to queue up to get the signature.
They were queuing up, and they were about to arrive. Suddenly, a very noble mother and daughter dressed in silk and satin jumped in front of them and took the place that was supposed to be their turn.
Mrs. Xu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw the other party's dress, she held back. She couldn't cause trouble when she was out.
The grandfather and grandson just continued to wait honestly.
But it took a long time for the mother and daughter to solve the problem. After the monk had solved it, the woman was still asking questions.
Someone behind Mrs. Xu shouted, "What are you doing, it took you so long?"
The woman turned her head and glared at Mrs. Xu, "What's the rush? Wait!"
Mrs. Xu:...She didn't speak.
But it was also obvious that this woman was not easy to get along with. Fortunately, she had just been robbed of her position and she didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, the mother and daughter in front left the sign-in process in a hurry. Mrs. Xu hurriedly pulled Xu Wuya forward for fear that if she was a step too late, someone would rob her again.
Handing over the lottery, Mrs. Xu smiled with a smile on her face, "Master, please help me, how is my granddaughter's marriage?"
The monk who interpreted the lot read the poem on the lot and explained: "This is a lucky lot. This little benefactor will definitely have a good marriage. Don't be anxious, just let it happen."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She thanked her repeatedly and gave her the copper coins for the signing, and then she took Xu Wuya away.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave the palace, he ran into the mother and daughter again.
The woman stretched out her hand directly towards Mrs. Xu, "Give me your signature."
Mrs. Xu:?
"What?" She was very puzzled. Why did she need her signature?
"Bring it quickly." The woman urged impatiently.
Mrs. Xu was afraid of offending her and didn't know what it meant, so she handed over the signature.
Anyway, the lot was drawn by the granddaughter, so it is the granddaughter’s marriage. If someone else takes it, will it still be useful?
The woman got the signature and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the signature of Daji. It would be easier to take this back and explain.
Then he took his daughter and left happily waving his sleeves.
The people waiting outside saw such a scene from a distance. When they met in this room, Zhang Xiulan couldn't help but curiously asked, "Mom, what did that woman ask you so fiercely just now?"
Mrs. Xu said: "I don't know what she is doing. She gave Wu Yayao's lucky draw to go. I thought she was too fierce to be trifled with, so I gave it to her for fear of getting into trouble."
Zhang Xiulan couldn't help pouting, "Are you crazy about lucky draws? If you grab other people's lottery tickets, will it be useful? Can it also become her marriage? You can grab other people's things as soon as you want. You don't care about it at all, and you are not afraid of suffering.
