In fact, this is not surprising at all. It is not easy to see that almost all the people living in Yumenguan are the families of craftsmen, the group who followed Huo Gang, and the people from the business companies that moved there later. These people are all considered rich, and there are not many things that the great man really calls luxury goods.

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

The time has entered the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and in another ten days it will be the New Year. The atmosphere of Yumen Pass has become lively. Many nearby villages have driven their cars to enter Yumen Pass one by one. These carriages come from all the villages near Yumen Pass.

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

Many people may not be able to buy much, but they also want to come to the city to take a look. This era is not a future generation. With the arrival of the Spring Festival, it can be said that the atmosphere of the New Year gradually began from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

People in this era make new clothes from their own homes, and those who can afford to buy ready-made clothes are rich. For most people, it is good enough for them to buy a piece of cloth to sew their own clothes.

This year, for all the people, it can be said that everyone can afford a piece of cloth, because almost all the people's daily food has been solved by the leaders, and each of them has found a job.

Even in winter, they are not short of work, so every household can afford new clothes. Because of the use of wool, most families can make a wool cotton coat, not made of wool cloth, but made of two piece of linen filled with wool.

Such clothes were also promoted by Huo Gang. As the technology of wool-stretching continues to be promoted, ordinary people can also spend a little money to clean them and wool a lot of wool. In this way, almost every household can make cotton coats.

Such cotton coats are warm that they have never felt before in winter. Unlike leather coats, they are warmer and lighter.

At this moment, Yumen Village, not far from Yumen Pass, is the village closest to Yumen Pass. After Yumen Village was designated as the leader's village, everyone in the whole village was very excited. This is an honor for them! Being able to farm for the leader is something that many people can't even ask for.

The leader's vacation was not far from them, just next to their village, located in the upper reaches of the river, but for the time being, the land was only leveled there, and it would take next year to start construction, but the leader's cattle, sheep and fields were allocated to their village.

The person responsible for the distribution was their village chief Bai Ling, 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 country. However, because these fields are the leader's private fields and cannot be abandoned for public purposes, the leader cannot let them be exempted from taxes. However, if they plant a mu of land, the leader can give them 40% of the harvest. In this way, they can use these extra harvest taxes.

After Bai Ling said this, the whole village almost rebelled because to them, this was an insult to them. Most of the people in this village fled.

This is a life of living with new houses, farming, and even now they can eat fine grains. Not to mention those who flee, even the wealthy families in the village could not live such a life!

And when they gave them the leader who lived like this, they would farm for the leader, and they still wanted money? Wasn't that being scolded by someone's backbone? It was just that their protest was blocked by Bai Ling's words. It was very simple. These words were said by the leader.

If they disagree, the leader will not let them plant it, and the leader said that he sets an example and sets an example in the world. If they do not collect money, it will ruin the reputation of the leader.

Hearing such words, these villagers did not object, because no matter what they did, they could not ruin the reputation of the leader, and they could only accept the grain.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and some things that should be prepared must be prepared. Liu Sanhu got up early in the morning. Today he has important things to do, that is, slaughter the fattest sheep in his family.

Those who came to help were the neighbor Zhang Yong's family and another neighbor Liu Tie. Liu Tie was not a Han person. Although his name was Han, he was actually Turkic. The name of this Han person was chosen by him after he learned the Chinese language and learned Chinese characters. After the teacher helped him, his whole family had already given similar names.

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

Liu Sanhu got up and began to sharpen the knife. The children and others at home did not get up. After sharpening the knife, Liu Sanhu first fed the sheep in the sheep pen with the green grass, and then fed the horses. Zhang Yong, who was next door, also came over.

"Haha, are you getting up so early today?" Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"Yes, aren't you going to kill sheep today? I thought to get up early. After we kill it earlier, we have to deal with the mutton." Liu Sanhu said with a smile.

"What? I'm willing to do it? Although this is a ram, if I raise it for another year, I can grow a few kilograms of meat." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"I won't raise it anymore, my mother said, New Year's Eve is coming soon. In previous years, we paid homage to our ancestors, and it was already awesome to have a bowl of white porridge in the plaque. But this year, there is a plaque for the leader's immortality. This sacrifice is the top priority. Not many things can be killed, so we slaughter a sheep, then two chickens and two ducks." Liu Sanhu said seriously.

The smile on Zhang Yong's face also disappeared. He gave Liu Sanhu a thumbs up, and then said, "I didn't see that you are so filial, you didn't say anything. By the way, wait for me, I'll get something first when I go back. Is Liu Tie here?"

"Not yet, probably it's coming soon." Liu Sanhu said with a smile.

"Then I'll get the things back first, and your sister-in-law will come to boil water with your wife later." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay." Liu Sanhu was not polite either. Half a year passed, and they were already very familiar with each other. There was no need to say polite words.

Liu Sanhu pulled out the largest instigated ram in the sheep pen and tied it to the side.

Liu Sanhu's family also got up soon, especially his children, but these little guys couldn't count on him, and his wife had already started boiling water.

While speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside. Liu Sanhu stood up and turned around and saw that he was stunned immediately because Zhang Yong also came in with a sheep. Not only Zhang Yong, but Liu Tie, who was following Zhang Yong, was actually holding a sheep in his hand.

"Are you guys?" Liu Sanhu was a little confused.

"What? If you are allowed to kill sheep, we are not allowed to kill sheep? We have discussed it. Today we can kill sheep together. And I don't know what your rules are, but we prairie people have to use whole sheep for sacrifices. Our family has more sheep than you, so we decided to kill two of them this year." Liu Tie laughed twice and said.

"Okay, but we can't compete with you." Liu Sanhu smiled bitterly. Liu Tie was once from Xue Yantuo's tribe, so in addition to the sheep he allocated, he himself also has several sheep. This year his family has laid more than a dozen lambs, and next year it is estimated that he can still lay more than a dozen lambs.

It is estimated that his family's flock will exceed more than a hundred sheep in two years, so there is no problem in killing two sheep.

"It's enough for you to have one, but it doesn't actually affect the growth of your sheep next year. It's almost the Chinese New Year. Give your children some meat to see if they are thin." Liu Tie spoke a little 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 expect to eat meat before? It would be great if we could fill our stomachs."

"Brother, you are wrong. Do you think we used to eat meat? Yes, we rely on the flock of sheep to live, but in a year, unless we starve to death, no one dares to kill sheep. Most of the year, we eat rough bran and wild vegetables. She kills sheep, but we have to do it when there is no way." Liu Tie said calmly.

"Starting this year, I think not only us, but everyone in the entire man, may be able to eat meat a few 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 it's more than once!

"Okay, OK, don't be sad, it's time to work. Today, our three families are all having dinner at your house. I'll borrow your stove. After a year, we'll get together." Zhang Yong next to him simply smiled.

"Okay!" Liu Sanhu also smiled and nodded. Soon, when Liu Tie and Zhang Yong's family came over, Liu Sanhu's house became lively in an instant, with seven or eight children playing in the yard, while the adults had already started slaughtering sheep.

It was Liu Tie who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was

However, before Liu Tie could do it, another voice from the gate came from: "Oh, you're so lively here."

Hearing the sound, everyone in the yard looked over. When Liu Sanhu saw the person coming in, he immediately smiled: "It's the village chief. The village chief has dinner at my house at noon? Eat meat today."

"Come on, I came to the door myself. You kid just invited me, but you didn't really invite me sincerely at first glance." Bai Ling cursed with a smile.
