Edo Traveler
Vol 5 Chapter 6: Give each other new year dishes at the end of the year
Maorilan!
Hearing this name, Chuemon shook subconsciously. Not for anything else, just for our Miao character Edogawa. How can this be good?
"What's the matter? The door is low?" Seeing Chuemon's face changed slightly, Sukeruku thought what happened to Chuemon.
But it’s normal to think about it. When I was in my last days, you came over and said to be your home son-in-law. To put it nicely, he is called Zuo-in-law, and to put it awkwardly, he is just a borrower. Later, I saw that I went to the wild, and even more directly allowed my daughter to others. Now that I am up again, I am rushing to send my daughter?
I owe you!
Normal It is normal for a man to feel uncomfortable. It is normal to have a temper or dissatisfaction. No, in later generations, there will be a special stream of divorce, the bridge part of the door to tear the marriage book. The people like to hear and see it, which shows that this matter is close to the lives of ordinary people.
"That's not what I meant. It's almost the end of the year. Let's talk about something during the New Year. Besides, it's only sixteen, so don't worry." Chungemon waved his hand quickly, thinking about this for a few days.
"Yes, it's almost the New Year, no matter how big things are, wait for the New Year to talk." Zhuroku felt that it was good, and the New Year was more important.
When it comes to Chinese New Year, many things have to be prepared in advance. As a new imperial surname, Chungemon had to give New Year dishes to more than sixty colleagues. It is normal for the flamboyant set in the workplace.
I also need to send a New Year's gift to the Yu Xiao surname Fantou above, just like the Shimadzu Qixing we know, no matter how big things are on your New Year’s Day, you will go to Sakurada Gate at 5 o’clock in the morning to wait. , Ascended to the city at seven o'clock, lined up at eight o'clock, and at nine o'clock in China, Austria, Daguangjian, and the princes celebrated the New Year with the Tokugawa family.
The gift is very simple, usually a sword is enough. It is said that nowadays, it is not uncommon for a general to ask for too much sword, and there are too many too many swords in his family to count.
discount!
Except for placing a large sword in front of the general, the knives of other people are in accordance with the size of Zhixing, ranging from several hundred taels to dozens of taels. They can be replaced with gold and handed directly to the side user. The person who was supposed to kneel and worship the general with a knife is no longer needed.
Just when Mizuno Tadakuni reported his name, he stepped forward, knelt down in front of the prop knife, kowtowed Tokugawa Ikayuki's head, and shouted "Congratulations on the new year!". Then Tokugawa Isaiah replied "with congratulations!" and it was over.
Even the shogun is discounted, and Chuemon can actually be discounted here. But the old Edo people are so poor and particular, it would be too vulgar if you send money directly. Even the general took a prop knife to install it, so naturally these flags should be installed.
So it’s usually a gift for a new year’s dish, and then a receipt is attached. It can be a prepaid ticket for a silk shop, a dim sum ticket for a high-end wagashi shop, or even a rice ticket for a rice shop, as long as these can be paid directly. A voucher for things or exchange of money is enough.
Tadaemon quietly inquired about the amount that Yoshiki Kanemaru enshrined at the temple. It's just two or two, but it's really nothing. In other words, for a banner with a salary of more than five hundred shi, it is nothing but once a year.
Suke Roku estimated that he will take office in the next year, so there will be nothing wrong with him this year. When it came to Chuemon, he took the post a year ago with a pinch point, and the size has to go in and out a bit.
Yes, the two separated at the street, and Chuemon went home.
New Year dishes or something, there is no need to make it yourself, it’s too late to make 60 copies, just buy it and you’re done. There are so many food and beverage outlets in Edo, and it is easy to do this kind of business.
Thinking about what he was going to give to his colleagues, Chungemon also arrived home. As a result, we haven't sent it to others. Someone's New Year dishes have already been sent. Ajiu took it in, just as a reference for Chuemon.
The so-called New Year dishes are nothing more than shredded radish mixed with golden maki, kelp rolls, black beans in vinegar and so on. The price is not too high, and it can be put for several days in the cold winter. It will not be broken, and it can be used as a treat for guests during the New Year.
Where is the poor and delicate samurai family? Of course, it needs to be more fancy, such as candied burdock, pickled fish roe, date rolls, grilled yellowtail, etc., and most importantly sea bream.
During the Edo period, it was also influenced by the West, so there was a trend of snacks and desserts such as Jinpingtang and Nagasaki honey cake as side dishes. But in the area of samurai, it is not very popular. How could the poor and exquisite Qimoto put his face down to engage in Nanban stuff.
It's a pity, I'll slap my face in the next second!
Our old brother Qiuho Takashima’s lover, Yinglong Jiang also sent New Year dishes. Everyone sent Japanese dishes. He was the most special one. He sent a pair of white bread from the boss.
According to Ajiu, someone said that this bread can be eaten with jam or honey. Of course, you can hold it dry. Probably the craftsmanship is different from that of later generations. The white bread sent by Yinglong Jiang is slightly hard, unlike those in the future bakery. Of course, except for the baguette.
It's a foreigner who is a foreigner. Everyone gives him the same as the third child, but he is great and gave a pair of white bread.
was watching, a few hawkers came in from the cooking kitchen, and they saluted the Tademon, while joking with Ajiu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They are naturally coming to checkout after the end of the year. Some people have a knot every month, and some people have a knot every quarter, such as those who send tea or salt, but they knot every year. "Honesty society", do bookkeeping and monthly subscription.
I don’t have a lot of money in terms of size, and Chuemon thought that it’s the next year, so I always have to give it a new year’s money. He asked Ajiu to give one hundred more money to each person in addition to the checkout. Let them have some spare money to buy a pot of wine to drink.
It is estimated that almost everyone will go out of business in two days. Today, these hawkers and so on, all come to ask for the account at the value of Chuemon Gate.
After all, there were bad things that the samurai could not pay at the end of the year, so it was necessary to block the presence of the samurai himself. You are stopped by someone, so you have to send a few wrongs.
"Happy New Year to adults!" A somewhat familiar hawker was very happy to take a reward of one hundred dollars, and salute Chuemon.
Think about it for a moment, isn't this the clam vendor who took advantage of Ajiu's clams while taking advantage of Ajiu's advantage? On the surface, this kid looked like an honest toiler, but he was also a little daring.
"Whose account hasn't been settled?" Ajiu himself didn't feel at a disadvantage, and Chungemon didn't bother to take care of it.
If Ajiu, who is already forty years old, is in the second spring of his life, and this clam vendor is in the right eye, wouldn’t Chugoemon hit the mandarin duck?
"The Hiyoshi just now was the last one." Ajiu thought about it.
"I will give you a reward."
"You give him a reward, and he also throws it in the water."
