Chapter 6: Memories of an Instant Noodle Meal (3)
He really couldn't figure it out, after all, he had dealt with such a situation before. Or is there anything special about this foreigner named Zhang Yi? At this moment, he racked his brains.
"Li Dayou, you have been following Master Ben for some years, let me ask you, have you ever seen such snow-white and delicate refined salt for sale in LG County?" Seeing that the housekeeper's brows were furrowed and he was deep in thought, the old patriarch couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"This kind of refined salt is not common in LG County, even in Qiongzhou. Steward Li subconsciously responded when he heard this.
The old patriarch took a deep breath. "So, have you seen that we have this three-foot square glass mirror in our Qiongzhou Mansion?" I haven't seen it either, sir, what do you mean? Hey, this, this can't be, if the other party really has such a big background, and how can he succumb to our poor country. Steward Li finally realized the point of the old patriarch's question, and he exclaimed in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Impossible? Along this big river in front of our village, dozens of miles down is the mouth of the sea. Do you think it's possible?" the old patriarch snorted coldly.
"Ahh Steward Li already saw sweat on his forehead.
"The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, today, my Ming Dynasty is different from the past. The change of dynasty is only in the day. At that time, if there is a sword, it will be the king of grass. The old patriarch sighed.
"So, what do we do now?" At this moment, Steward Li finally panicked. He asked, looking horrified.
"Let's take a closer look for a while, maybe I'm thinking too much, sir. But it never hurts to be careful. The hundreds of years of foundation of the Lingao Zhang clan must not be lost in the hands of the master. Okay, sir, I'm tired, you go down. The old patriarch looked solemn, and finally said no more.
。。。。。。
"Master, you are back, and if you don't come back, I will go to the field to look for you. Zhang Dashun, who had been working in the fields for a long day, had just returned home, and before he put down the hoe, his mother-in-law greeted him in a hurry.
"What's the matter, this is?" Zhang Dashun casually put the hoe in the corner of the door. A look of inexplicability.
"There's a good thing, a great thing, you know the young trader who lives in the old house in the east of our village. Today he bought the old house. The smile on Zhang Dashun's daughter-in-law's face became even bigger.
"That old house can still be inhabited, didn't it collapse this morning?" Zhang Dashun was stunned.
"Of course you can't live in people, no, it's going to be overhauled. Knowing that you can do masonry, I sent someone to find our house. ”
"You agreed? I said that you mother-in-law don't know anything, and now there is a big mess in the field, you let me help? Are you not sick?" Zhang Dashun's face instantly turned ugly.
Also, now is the busy season of farming, and there is a big mess in the field, and the problem of grain and grass can be careless? Besides, this business is still a foreigner.
"It's not for nothing, I take care of three meals a day, and I pay ten catties of rice. For Zhang Dashun's scolding, his daughter-in-law didn't care at all, the smile on her face still didn't say, and she was a little happy to hurry.
"You mother-in-law doesn't know anything, can a helper take care of three meals, and pay ten catties of rice? Zhang Dashun sneered.
Yes, he doesn't believe it. In the past, when he was not working, he would occasionally go to other villages to help others repair houses and build new houses. He knows very well what is going on. There is no such thing as three meals at all, and the salary is only three or two catties of rice at most. No one is stupid.
"Really, the second dog Nawa came to the door and gave me something to promise in person. Is this wrong? By the way, the footman will have to sign a contract with everyone in the barnyard. Zhang Dashun's daughter-in-law was anxious. She replied affirmatively.
"Really, let's eat first, and I'll go to the threshing floor to see what the hell is going on. Zhang Dashun heard this, although he still didn't believe it. But I don't want to miss such a great opportunity. After all, the threshing floor is not far from his house, and it doesn't take so much time to go and see it. In case the head of the foot merchant is really kicked by a donkey, this is a net income of ten catties of rice a day, and if you work for ten days and half a month, then the family will not starve this year.
It was getting dark, and Zhang Dashun, who had drunk a scoop of cold water after dinner, was finally free, and Shi Shiran took his mother-in-law to the barn.
"So lively?" Before we approached the barnyard, the noise of chaos was already in my ears. This made Zhang Dashun suspicious.
Wait for him to get closer. After looking at the black and crushed heads on the barning floor, he was finally convinced that what his mother-in-law said might really be true. Yes, they are not stupid, if it weren't for the recruitment conditions that were so attractive, how could they attract so much attention at this time?
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, found an open space, and began to wait.
As time passed, the sky grew darker and darker.
"It's going to be dark soon, why hasn't this kid come yet. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the protagonist Zhang Yi had not yet appeared, on the other hand, the old patriarch, who had a calm face, finally wrinkled his brows.
Although Xiao Zhangcun is small, he is a figure who has traveled south and north to see the market. He has organized the villagers of Xiaozhang Village to gather for deliberations many times, knowing how chaotic and difficult it will be to control such a scene. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the villagers he organized to gather and discuss during the day before, but now, it is now night. It's dark, the figure can't be seen clearly, and a bad control is a big disaster. Can he still remain calm?
"Master, the family members have been brought out, and there will be no big mess. "Steward Li is worthy of being the confidant of the old patriarch, and he stood up at the right time.
"Let everyone lift their spirits, don't be careless. The old patriarch nodded solemnly.
"Understood. “
......
"Big brother, it's getting dark, and the villagers are still waiting for us in the barnyard. Look?" Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Zhang Yi was still busy playing with an iron lump. Zhang Ergou finally lost his calmness just now, and he reminded in a low voice.
"It's okay, this generator is enough to power the dozen or so incandescent lamps around the barnyard. Not afraid of the dark. Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded, answered affirmatively, and then lowered his head again and got busy.
"Big brother, is this thing really as amazing as you say? Otherwise, let's let the villagers go back first and gather them tomorrow morning, how about it?" Zhang Ergou's expression froze slightly.
Zhang Ergou was really speechless. Yes, he believes in Zhang Yi very much, and today he was indeed completely broken by the new things that Zhang Yi came up with, which completely broke his perception of things in this world. However, at this moment, he still felt that Zhang Yi was a little crazy. He actually said that with the inconspicuous iron box at the moment and the incandescent lamp that the two of them installed in the threshing floor this afternoon, they could turn the night of the threshing floor into day. Isn't it crazy to say such a thing?
