The kitchen for this banquet was set up in a temporary straw shed on the right side of the main entrance of the main house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The leftover pork and grain were piled up on the boards.

Meng Ge entered the shed, inspected it carefully, and found that the whole pig, nearly two hundred catties, was now only an unshaved pig's head, two hind hooves, and a push of minced meat that did not know what kind of meat was left.

This phenomenon alerted Meng Ge. Even if I said before that I would give the patriarch and the clan elders a pound of pork each, it would only account for about ten catties.

The rest, the entire banquet, did not use sixty catties. What's more, all the bones have been stewed.

Supposedly, there should be at least 30 to 50 catties of pork left. Now it seems that this Tang Lizheng family is really eating people to the bones.

As for the 100 catties of wheat noodles and 50 catties of rice that Meng Ge bought in the village temporarily, as well as the 50 catties of sorghum noodles given by Li Zheng's family, there are still a lot left. It's just that the number of catties is wrong.

One hundred catties of wheat flour is less than thirty catties left, the same as sorghum flour. As for rice, it's only about 30 catties.

Moreover, the two large jars of soybean oil that Meng Ge bought were only left with a small half can. But the lard that was cut from the pig's body is still there.

Meng Ge looked at these things that had obviously been manipulated, and for a moment regretted that he had done this hastily.

There are always people who take your trust for foolishness. This is an inevitable fact of life.

After packing up all the things that could be recycled, Meng Ge recruited the two eldest brothers Wang Zhu and asked them to help move all these things to her house on the mountain.

Originally, I still thought that I had troubled them these days, and the thought that I should leave something to compensate for them disappeared.

Dozens of catties of wheat flour, ten catties of white rice, half a jar of soybean oil, and more than 20 catties of pork. If you are greedy like this, it is no wonder that you can't build a brick house in a few lifetimes, but you are afraid that your blessings will be lost.

Meng Ge couldn't help but think viciously.

Before thinking about it again, when Meng Ge took out the so-called public expense in front of everyone present and handed it to Li Zheng, Li Zheng was embarrassed.

If it weren't for the patriarch's pressure, I'm afraid that the people in those clans, as well as those people who came from outside, would have made a direct fuss.

I'm afraid that Tang Lizheng is saying that he wants public funds, just to blackmail Meng Ge and a few of their little babies.

However, Meng Ge handed over the money anyway. After all, it is rare to find a place to settle down, so you should pay some money to buy peace.

Another point is that the reason why Meng Ge handed over the silver was also to declare in front of the people in the village that he had spent money to buy Ansheng, so that they would not come to the door to find trouble if they had nothing to do.

Now that he thinks about it, Meng Ge is extremely glad that he settled the money in front of everyone. At that time, in order to calm down the incident, Li Zheng should not be able to privately swallow those silvers.

The so-called take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. In the future, Li Zheng just wants to do something to their three sisters and brothers, and the people in the village should come out to help say a word or two.

Liang Qinglong, who followed Meng Ge to count things throughout the whole process, saw that after Meng Ge counted the items, he kept frowning and keeping a solemn face, so he knew that she had seen the clues.

It wasn't until this moment that he felt that his family was a little ruthless, and he was afraid that Meng Ge would make trouble on the spot.

Fortunately, Meng Ge was only dissatisfied on his face and did not ask.

It wasn't until the two eldest brothers had removed all the things in the shed, and there wasn't even a single cabbage leaf left, that Meng Ge entered the hall satisfied.

Looking at the leftovers that still had a small half-bucket, Meng Ge suddenly changed his mind. These things are cheap, no one can be cheap, and this family is insatiable.

"Uncle Li Zheng, you see that the three of us brothers have just arrived, and we don't understand many things. Thanks to your family's help. Now, our brothers really don't have any extra money, and those big brothers and uncles who say they want to ask for help, I don't plan to ask for any more, please ask Uncle Li Zheng to help explain a thing or two. Meng Ge said with an embarrassed smile.

Seeing that Li was about to open his mouth to speak, Meng Ge hurriedly said again: "I originally thought that there should be a lot of things left in half of the banquet, especially the meat. That's why I should invite those individuals. I don't know how many things are used in this table. I have no money on me, and when I pay my wages, I have no food. Even if you pay the salary, you can only pay ten copper plates per person, and you can only ask for about three days. As he spoke, Meng Ge took out the small gray cloth bag he was carrying and poured out the only two hundred copper plates inside.

Before, it was said that ten taels of silver would be used by Liang Qinglong to buy things, and more and less would be supplemented. Meng Ge thought, what's the matter, there should be more than two taels of silver left.

As a result, people were stunned and didn't mention that stubble, and Meng Ge was not happy.

Tang Li was looking at Meng Ge, who was not pretentious, and couldn't help but hesitate. He also thought that Meng Ge had to have a few dozen taels of silver on him. Otherwise, what will happen to the bricks and tiles that make people burn?

"Oh, I said little nephew, why don't you know how to settle accounts? It's only been so long, why did you spend all your money? Tang Li said with a grimace.

Liang Qinglong only remembered at this time, patted his thigh and said, "Look at me, I'm busy and forgetting." Yu Fei, you gave me the ten taels of silver, and there are more than 800 copper left. Wait, I'll bring the ledger, and we'll check it. ”

Yes, this time he coveted her two taels of silver. Mongo hung his head with a vicious thought in his heart.

"Hmph, how greedy you are, I'll let you spend how you want. Let you have a life to be greedy and no life to spend. Meng Ge thought darkly.

After the account books were calculated, Meng Ge carried a small cloth bag with more than 800 copper plates, borrowed two baskets from Lizheng's family, and went home with those vegetables.

During the accounting period, the leftover vegetables and rice were all sent to the families that Meng Ge instructed the male children to give, and they didn't even leave a soup base for the Li Zheng family.

Even the incident of the amorous eight people, Meng Ge also pushed it all on Li Zheng, saying that he couldn't afford it.

has done this, no matter how sluggish the Lizheng family is, they can smell something unusual.

Tang Simei finally couldn't pass the threshold of conscience, so she brought ten catties of meat and twenty catties of wheat noodles out, saying that she was afraid of being ruined, so she helped keep them in advance.

Meng Ge was not polite, but thanked him politely, and then put the meat and wheat noodles in the back basket and brought them back together.

After going back, the more Meng Ge thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and finally decided to open up the wasteland for another ten days, and then he went into the mountains by himself.

As for Lizheng and them, I'll clean up when she's out of the mountain.

Hmph, it's that Tang Xiaomei, who must have also participated in it. She won't let go of any of them who are insatiable.

As for how to clean up those individuals, Meng Ge does not have a specific plan now. She still has to think of a foolproof way to make it happen.
