Chapter 219: Sending Off

82_82370 Er Ya wrapped the roasted duck in oiled paper wrapped in pastries, and then packed it in a small box for them to eat on the road. The bottom and top layers of the frame are covered with a layer of dried wormwood left over from the Dragon Boat Festival to prevent insects.

When the second aunt came to eat with Qin Baihu, she began to have red eyes and a flat mouth, and she didn't dare to cry if she wanted to cry. In the past, when her son went out to run a business, she didn't think much of him for several months. Who knew that this kid went to the army, and it was said that it was much safer and safer than running a businessman, but she was always uneasy and thinking badly, and this time she was even more reluctant to let him go.

Originally, I said the night before that I would make some food for Laizi to bring. As a result, I couldn't get anything good for a long time. One is that although it is not as hot as summer now, it is not cold, and it is definitely not good to cook cooked food. Originally, I also wanted to make pork floss jerky, but the uncle called Xiangzi and Dahong to do it in the past, so there was no need for her family to do it again!

Later, there was really nothing to give, so I had to take out the twenty catties of tea that the second girl in the family gave them, and take out fifteen catties to send the commander back to the army. I bought a lot of pastries and food in the town, and asked him to go back to send them to his comrades-in-arms. I went to Erya's mother's house and got a lot of salt duck eggs and Songhua eggs for Laizi to eat on the way.

The eldest aunt also prepared some things for Laizi to bring, including tea, pastries, dried shrimp, small salted fish, and a backpack full of Dahong's big backpack.

Of course, Erya also prepared some things, but they were not for the son, but for Qin Baihu to bring to the old general Qin.

Before the rain in the valley, the tea made by Erya himself was made together with the tribute tea. It's just that the packaging of the usual home-drinking tea, although it is also a white porcelain bottle, but it is very simple. There are no fancy decorations. A total of five catties were given, enough for the old general to drink for a year. If you entertain guests once in a while, you can probably do it.

There are also fungus and mushrooms that the nurse helps take care of at home, and they have all been dried. Roast meat for the old general from time to time, whether it is wine or food, it is difficult to eat.

and the sesame oil sent by her family's tenants in the town, and Erya only left a small pot for three small occasional fried eggs to eat. The rest was packed up and brought to the old general.

There is also a small basket of figs from Liu Jialing's tenant group, Xie Jiazhong, who doesn't know where to get it. Let Hongguo's husband bring it back. Er Ya kept a small half, and the rest was packed for the old general to take with him.

In a word, everything that can be brought. It's worth bringing, whether it's home-made or given by others, Erya has packed it and brought it to the old general.

Er Ya spared no effort to curry favor with the old general Qin, if it was for his own family, there were many things that he needed to ask the old general for in the future. Erya does not deny this. But it is more because of the age of the sixtieth birthday, who is still guarding the frontier, and the old general Qin has been contributing to the defense of the country for several generations. Respect and admiration arise from the heart. She couldn't go to the frontier to ask for an autograph, so she could only express her heart with a few gifts.

Erya put the heavy backpack at Qin Baihu's feet and said, "Our family has some specialties, such as salted duck, salted gizzards, sausages, bacon, rice cakes, dried sweet potatoes, and chestnuts. There are also some fried goods, which are not made until the Chinese New Year, and now there is no one. I also scraped together such a bite to eat. Bring it to the old general to taste. I'm really embarrassed, and I hope you don't shirk. ”

Qin Baihu really planned not to. But after I heard that it was for my grandfather, I couldn't say anything about it.

Although my grandfather has a lot of relatives and friends, there are really few people who think about him and think about preparing gifts to take to the frontier. Now there is a stranger who has prepared such a big bag of things for grandpa, no matter how good it is, I believe that grandpa will be happy to receive such a gift. Therefore, he can only accept it with a cheeky face!

He smiled and thanked him while reaching out to carry the big backpack, because he was in a good mood, and even said a joke: "Thank you, sister-in-law, then I will accept it." If my grandfather is addicted, you'll be annoyed! ”

Er Ya hurriedly replied with a smile: "Don't bother, don't bother! If the old general thinks it's good, just send a message, and I'll find a way to have someone bring it over. ”

At this time, the uncle finally sent the finished dried meat floss over in a hurry. Although the uncle is a town and often deals with hundreds of family affairs, he is not a businessman after all, so he stuffed the dried meat floss to Qin Baihu vigorously, and asked Qin Baihu to take it, and he didn't know what else to say.

But Erya helped to say a few words next to him: "Qin Baihu, my uncle gave it to you, you can take it!" This can be left for a long time, you can take it back to the old general to taste. In addition, let's see if this can be counted as one part of your army's dry rations. If you think it's good, that's what my uncle's family does, and I'm afraid too much is not good. It should be no problem to supply about 5,000 catties a year. ”

When Qin Baihu heard this, he didn't speak, just reached out and took out a piece of jerky from the clay pot and chewed it! After chewing for a while, he nodded and said, "This tastes good!" The more you chew, the more flavorful it gets. We have this kind of jerky when we go out on a mission, but the portion is very small.

Because most of our jerky is made of beef, it is very expensive. The army purchases very little, and it will only be equipped when it is a scout or squatting somewhere, which is usually very rare. However, the generals of more than 1,000 households seem to be given a certain amount to them every month. If yours are cheaper than beef, I think the military will be happy to buy from you.

I'll take this back first, let those generals taste it, and see what they say! I can give my grandfather a taste of this, but there's no need to speak. I don't think it's worth it! ”

The grandfather rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and accompanied the smiling face. Erya didn't feel embarrassed or anything, and what people said was reasonable. And her purpose was to sell things instead of the old general to speak, so she naturally smiled and thanked Qin Baihu sincerely: "Then I'll trouble you!" Please keep me aware! And ah! You don't have to be polite about what you want to eat in the future, just bring a letter and we'll find a way to bring it to you. ”

Qin Baihu only smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. He looked at Laizi, who was being pulled by his mother and couldn't get out, and shouted over there: "Captain Wang, hurry up, it's time to go!" The second aunt reluctantly let go of her son's arm, wiped her tears and watched her son straddle the horse in a chic manner, carrying two large backpacks prepared by herself and her sister-in-law on one side, and a wicker woven frame with the fragrance of roast duck on the other side.

Qin Baihu and Laizi rode away in the enthusiasm and reluctance of everyone. Erya, who turned around and walked back, saw that the uncle looked a little uneasy, so he comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, if they can ask for it, you will earn more in the future." If they don't want us in the end, then they should just give the jerky floss this time. We don't have much to lose, do we? However, whether they want it or not, I think your meat floss and jerky should still start cooking, it's getting colder, and if someone suddenly comes over and asks for these, don't be able to take them out then. I think you can call the shots in this matter, and you don't have to wait for the third uncle to come back! ”

The big also said on the side: "Yes! I think what Liu Yatou said is right, our own affairs should be done quickly. A few of them are idle and have nothing to do to earn the money that should not be earned. ”

The uncle loosened his brows slightly, nodded and said, "Okay!" Then starting tomorrow, let's kill our own pigs! When someone asks for it, we will go to someone else's house to collect the pigs and come back. ”

The uncle who was talking remembered going to Chenjiazhuang to buy land, so he said to Erya: "I guess I can't get back the land in Chenjiazhuang." There are a few who have been hesitant and have not said a happy word, and a few are resolutely not selling. I think you'd better find a suitable one to build in our Zhuangzi section! ”

"Uncle! Did you tell me the price of the land I was going to give? Or you can come back tomorrow and talk to them, and the price will be raised. If people really don't want to sell, forget it. When the time comes, we will hire someone to design and see if it is feasible to build one in our big turn. Erya was also a little impatient with the land in Chenjiazhuang. Fortunately, in this era, there are already people who use water power, so it is easy for her to find the master who built the water workshop. If she designs, calculates, and builds it herself, she may not be able to do it, after all, this is a technical job.

Grandpa Tai has always been in front of everyone, when he gave people away, he stood in front, and when he went back, everyone also let him go first. Grandpa, who was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, bowing his head and thinking about things, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to the juniors of the Wang family who followed him: "Your family sent a representative to my house for a meeting. Report what you have taken out of your house and how much you have taken. Let's calculate, wait for my family to pay the grain to Qin Baihu, settle the money and come back. And he shall convert the things which ye have taken out of the money which sold the grain into money, and give them back to you. ”

Yesterday, the soldiers came over suddenly, and each of them came out from his house with chickens, ducks and geese to entertain people, and some of them were willing. Now every family has a big yard of livestock, and I really don't care about these few. But there are also those who are forced to take a few out of the house because of their face, and they take it, but their hearts have not been happy. Now that I listened to my grandfather's words, I knew that I didn't take it out for nothing, and now I suddenly became excited, and I felt like a windfall.

Because the second house has more ducks and fewer chickens, she gave a lot of ducks. At the same time, because of Liu Jialing's field, her family occupies half of it, so she should pay half of the entertainment expenses. Therefore, even if she takes a lot, she still has to give a little more money to the rest of the family.

Knowing that she was going to take the money out anyway, she didn't want to go over to that meeting. So he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa! You do the math, just how much money I should come up with. I won't go there, I was busy roasting duck yesterday, I didn't sleep all night, and now I have a headache and feel uncomfortable! I want to go back and rest first. ”

Grandpa nodded, "Okay!" Then go back and rest! Just have me and your grandfather here. ”

"Hey! Then I'll go home! "Er Ya and grandpa, uncle, big milk, Uncle Shoushun, old nobleman, and the elders of the clan all bowed and said goodbye before turning around and going home. (To be continued).
