Chapter 272: Little Tiger Arrives Home (Make Up for Yesterday's)
Er Ya went directly to Boss Lin's restaurant, first asked the shopkeeper to prepare a table of wine and food, and then went to Boss Lin to say that he wanted to arrange a few people to come in.
The hot pot restaurant opposite is also almost tidy up, just the pots and special tableware such as claws and colanders, as well as seasonings and dipping sauces. Although Erya has been busy with other things in the past few days, she has not forgotten what is here, and she is still trying her best to do it.
When the shopkeeper said that all the food and wine had been prepared, Er Ya said goodbye and returned to Lao Zhaotou with the guy who delivered the food.
Erya asked the guy to put down the wine and food, and said some words of thanks to Lao Zhaotou, before leaving with the carriage with the uncle, she sent the guy back first, and then met with the uncle who was waiting at the city gate and sent the uncle home.
Lao Zhao Tou and his soldiers didn't know that this table of wine and food was actually delivered by the best restaurant in the county, Deyi Building, until they were on the table for dinner.
"Good boy! Captain, this little lady who begs you to do something is really willing, I think this table of wine and food is enough for her to buy the horse and the cart. β
Another retorted: "How is that possible? That's all you can ask for? β
Lao Zhao nodded and said, "I haven't eaten the dishes of this proud building, I don't know what the price is." But I didn't drink it, but I felt like it couldn't be cheaper. If I had known that this lady Wang spent so much money to order us this table of wine and food, I would not have agreed. β
Another hurriedly comforted the old Zhao Tou and said: "Captain, since people can afford us to send such good wine and food, let's eat it with peace of mind!" Wouldn't it be nice if we were diligent in helping out with anything in the future? A matter of returning favors. As long as you want, there will always be a chance to get back there. β
A few people here ate very happily, and the second girl and her uncle went all the way to be offended. Erya had to drive a carriage by herself. The uncle had to drive the carriage that his family had, but the uncle didn't learn how to drive the car at all, and the two girls who were remote controlled in the back were sweating profusely all the way.
Finally, I reached the fork in the road of my uncle's town, and although the road became narrow and potholed, it was difficult to walk, but there were almost no people, at least not afraid of the horse scurrying around and hurting people. There is still a small ridge road from that road to my uncle's house, and it is impossible to walk in a carriage. The uncle unloaded the car and left it at the door of an acquaintance's house in the village. Pull the horse back by yourself. Erya finally sent her uncle to the door of her home, and she was finally able to go back with confidence.
The uncle pulled the horse back to the village, and the people in the village looked at him and the horse behind him in amazement. yelled: "Cripple Wu! Is your family's horse that was detained by the soldier coming back? β
Uncle smiled and nodded: "Yes!" It's coming back. β
There was a neighbor who was originally gloating, and when he saw that the Wu family had gone and asked for the horse back, he felt very uncomfortable. Said sourly: "Roar! You're really capable, you'll bring the horse back when you go! β
"I have the ability! This is my niece and daughter-in-law who helped me find someone to come back. β
The man pouted unwillingly. With burning eyes, he watched Wu Cripple walk in front of him with a happy horse. Secretly "Phew! "Yes. Seeing that a man and a horse were walking away, he scolded in a low voice: "Dead lame, it's really shit luck, if you don't do anything, there will be cows, donkeys and horses." Damn, this world is really unfair! β
I don't know if anyone will be jealous of my uncle's second child, so I ran home hungry and ate some leftovers. I started to get busy with the things at hand.
Beidi Xiaohu and Daman finally received Wu Fenggang and them who sent the ducks over. Several people hurriedly organized people to be busy slaughtering and cleaning up.
Because most of the women of the Wang family followed Aunt Shi to do the manual work of knitting sweaters, they did not distract themselves from doing this. But even with so many people participating, thousands of ducks still brought an uproar to this village of more than 100 families.
Originally, it was planned to kill one and lift the feathers, give two cents and give away the duck's internal organs for free. The result of the later competition was that they didn't need money, and the whole family went into battle to help, just to get more duck offal, especially some ducks still have a lot of egg yolks and duck fat in their stomachs. Of course, because the people who came to work were from poor families, Xiaohu did not deduct the two pennies with a clear conscience, and finally settled the silver money to others according to the number of slaughters and the weight of the separated eiderdown.
Because the feed prepared before was abundant, although it took a month to walk all the way, only about a dozen ducks died, which is a very small loss. These dead ducks, Wu Fenggang saw that the weather was very cold, and they wouldn't be bad anyway, so he didn't want to throw them away, and they were all brought to the north, and whoever wanted them would take them. So because of these dozen dead ducks, several families almost fought again. Fortunately, because the Wang family wanted to maintain face for Xiaohu and Daman, they did not participate in it, and the people who made trouble were all foreign surnames.
Xiaohu took the pickled seasoning brought by Wu Fenggang again, loaded the cleaned duck pickled sauce into the car, and waited for General Qin to send someone to pull it away.
The old general Qin sent Laizi and Qin Baihu, and after the ducks were pulled away, Wu Fenggang continued to stay in the north and wait for the convoy that sent the fish behind. The rest of the people, along with the girls who had already been married and their parents who wanted to participate in the marriage, followed Xiaohu and Daman first.
When a large group of people returned to Wangjiazhuang, the squatting and standing stations on the drying field surrounded a circle of people to watch the excitement. Before they could get up to them and see what was fun, they were very frightened to hear a loud "Touch!" This was followed by the cheering cries of the children: "I want it!" β
"I want it too!"
"Give me a handful!"
"It's all, it's all there! Don't worry! β
Everyone may have watched it too intriguedly, and no one even paid attention to the return of such a large group of them.
In fact, there is nothing particularly interesting, that is, Erya finally found the weird blacksmith master to help make a popcorn pot. She just mentioned that the thermal expansion and contraction of copper is more sensitive than that of iron, so the master really got the popcorn pot with the air pressure pointer out. After trying it a few times and making sure that it was safe enough, I sent it to Erya.
Er Ya received this popcorn pot. Just show off to grandpa: "Grandpa! You see, this is the popcorn pot I told you about, and I'll pop a few pots of corn and glutinous rice for you to taste later. β
Originally, Erya wanted to fry corn on fire at the door of her house. Thinking that the plosive sound was too loud, for fear of disturbing the children's class, he moved the stall to the drying field. At first, it was just Xiaolong, Anzi, Uncle, Second Uncle, Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma who were here to watch, and after two sounds, they attracted most of the people in Zhuangzi to come over. When the children got out of school, it was needless to say, they all gathered around. It's not enough to fry the two guys. Fortunately, there are others who can help, shake the handlebar, fan the stove.
Xiaohu went out for so many days, thinking that he would be warmly welcomed by his daughter-in-law and sons. As a result, his son, brother, and wife couldn't even see him, and their eyes were staring at this black thing. He suddenly felt in a bad mood, and at night he lay on the bed and told his wife about the first "manly girl" in his life.
"You don't want me after seeing me for so long. I have stood before you for a long time today. You don't see me. My heart is so bad! β
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can such a big living person not want to be out there for so long?! The kids talk every day and ask when you're going to come back, and I can't fool them anymore. Today is just a special situation! Do you want to eat this popcorn pot vinegar too? Don't say it's embarrassing! Are you tired? If you're tired, go to sleep! β
Xiaohu turned sideways, gently hugged his wife's body, and replied: "Don't be tired!" When I came back, because there were still a few older aunts and cousins. I'm afraid that they will be in a hurry like us, so I will arrange a rest at the guest house very early every day. For me, it's like playing. Not tired at all. Let's talk, I really miss you! β
Er Ya reached out and touched Xiaohu's face. I found that the feel was rougher, so I was distressed and said, "You don't have to go to the grassland by yourself in the future." Wu Fenggang and the three coaches, in the future, only one will be able to lead people to train in the mountains. And I told them that after that, it will be once every three years, and next year it will be because there are too few sixteen-year-old children, so it is a bit of a waste for them to have special training in the mountains, so I thought that I would just wait three years and make up enough for 30 to hold another special training.
This time, more than a dozen children, those who married our own girl, if they are willing to go to the Northland, let them go to the Northland to be a helper for Daman. Let Wu Fenggang take the rest and take over your line. The people brought by the original third uncle are still following the third uncle. But among these people, I would like to mention one of them, Captain Fu, you are back now, you can secretly observe and see who is suitable. It's better that the relationship with the third uncle is not so sticky. β
Erya said to Xiaohu, "Hmm! "Yes. Xiaohu suddenly remembered the good news sent by Dashan Bai, and before he could tell his daughter-in-law, he suddenly kissed his daughter-in-law's forehead and said with joy: "Sue sΓΉ for a great good thing!" β
"Speak quickly!" Erya thought that there was something good in terms of military rations, so she couldn't wait to urge.
"Brother Daman said that the people of the government told him that after our land is cleared, all the mountains within the boundaries of the land we have cultivated will be directly returned to our family. Now, you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy mountains, isn't it a great thing?! β
"Ahh This is really a great good thing, I thought you were going to say that General Qin had something good about the military rations! However, this good thing makes me happier than the good thing about military rations. β
When the daughter-in-law mentioned the military rations, Xiaohu had to hit her: "The old general really told me about the military rations." But what he meant was that we should just take care of our own food, and not think about making it too big. He said that our family does not have the strength or the power to take on such a big matter. The purchase of military rations on behalf of the army is not only to help the army buy food, but also to ensure the supply of military rations no matter what the situation, and there must be absolutely no excuse for the lack of military rations. If the old general said so, our family really doesn't have this ability. Not to mention natural disasters, we may all be blinded if we encounter a personal disaster.
However, don't be discouraged, what the old general means is that we can secretly collect grain to our homes, make rice with our own grain, and then dump it all as our own grain to the old general. He said that he would take as much grain as his family had, and that he would give me 10 percent more than the price of other people's grain.
What his grandson brought back this time, General Qin was very happy. You have been mentioned several times in front of me, and I must say thank you when I come back. He also said that there are some things that he wants to make our family profitable, but also to ensure the safety and security of our family.
Daughter-in-law, I look at the old general like that, he is really thinking about us everywhere, you listen to the old general! Good no good? (To be continued......)
