Chapter 18: Meat to eat tonight

At dusk, Yang Xu stood on a stone at the entrance of Yangjiazhai, facing the mountain wind, looking at the winding mountain road, muttering to himself.

"It's getting dark, and it's time for them to come back, I wonder if the things I made have been sold...... I hope they will come back with wine in their hands and meat on their shoulders...... Alas, if I knew that I wouldn't have boasted in front of a bunch of children, in case something was not sold, where would I get the money to buy wine and meat? Where will my old face be put then......"

In the school before, Yang Xu had a hot head, boasted to the children, and said that he would invite them to eat meat, but then he regretted it a little, worried that if the things he made were not popular and could not be sold, then the bull B he bragged about would become a joke......

It's just that the words you say are like spilled water, can you still play tricks with a bunch of children?

Thinking that the students behind him might be looking at him with expectant and longing eyes, Yang Xu felt stiff and didn't dare to turn his head to meet their eyes.

"Sir, do you really have any meat to eat tonight?"

The voice of the iron egg sounded again.

This little guy has asked several times in a short period of time, and Yang Xu can see a trace of salivation flowing from the corner of his mouth every time.

Not only Tie Dan, but also some other little guys, they haven't touched meat for a long time, and when they heard that Mr. invited them to eat meat, they were naturally full of anticipation and excitement.

"There should be...... Right? ”

Yang Xu laughed dryly, and replied without any confidence.

"Look!"

Erya's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the bend of the mountain road, and let out a happy sound.

Yang Xu's spirits perked up, his eyes widened, and he looked in the direction of Erya's finger, only to see a few figures walking like flying, quickly approaching the cottage, who are not Yang Xing, Yang Fugui and others?

In the blink of an eye, a few people approached, and they could clearly see that what they were carrying on their shoulders was the wine and meat that Yang Xu was thinking about.

"Here comes the wine and meat...... Lao Tzu was finally not busy in vain, and he was finally able to give the children an explanation......"

Yang Xu let out a long sigh of relief, and finally had a smile on his face.

The children rushed out from behind Yang Xu, raised their hands high, and cheered towards Yang Xing, Yang Fugui and others.

※※※

In the evening, Yangjiazhai has no previous tranquility, dozens of villagers with the old and the young, gathered in the empty space in the center of the village, smelling the aroma of meat in a few cauldrons, everyone's face is moisturized with joy, a laughter.

Some old villagers in Yangjiazhai sighed that the situation in front of them was much more lively than in previous years.

The eyes of many villagers fell on Yang Xu not far away, and their expressions were full of admiration and worship.

Mr. Yang is really powerful, and those small items that he made out in his spare time were brought to Jinyang City under the mountain, and he actually sold dozens of taels of silver, and he also bought so many rice, noodles, wine and meat to share with the villagers.

The materials used in those small objects, but they are usually the wood and bamboo that the villagers don't look at, after Mr. Yang's skillful hand carving, it turned waste into treasure, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a little stone into gold, it is really incredible!

This is almost a business without capital, if the villagers of Yangjiazhai can learn this craft, in the days to come, eating and drinking may no longer be a luxury, and even eating a meal of meat every once in a while is not impossible.

Thinking of this, some villagers looked at Yang Xu with a little more eagerness.

At this moment, Yang Xu was sitting on a big stone on the sidelines, chatting with Yang Xing, Yang Fugui, and Yang Dazhi around him.

"This time, I sold a total of fifty-four taels of silver, which is a good start...... By the way, I will give you two out of ten as I said before, and I will not break my promise. Brother Yang, go directly to the owner of the village to get the silver, and then share it with Fugui and Dazhi! ”

Yang Xu lowered his voice and said to Yang Xing.

As soon as he returned to Yangjiazhai, Yang Xing wanted to hand over the silver he brought back to Yang Xu, but Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to put the silver to Yang Hongyu.

Yang Xu understands the truth of his guilt.

Fifty-four taels of silver is not much, but in the eyes of the poor Yangjiazhai villagers, it can really be called a "huge amount of money", and he is an outsider, like a rootless duckweed, with such a sum of silver around him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep at night.

Instead of being scared, it is better to hand over the silver generously.

And Yang Hongyu, as the owner of the village, has kung fu, where she lives, can be called the safest place in the entire village, the silver is taken care of by her, and others dare not have any other thoughts.

As for whether Yang Hongyu would swallow that amount of silver, this Yang Xu was not too worried.

After he came to Yangjiazhai, he has shown some skills, maybe in the future he will be able to lead the people of Yangjiazhai to embark on a road to prosperity, if Yang Hongyu is a far-sighted and intelligent person, he will not do this kind of thing similar to killing chickens and eggs.

Based on Yang Xu's observation of Yang Hongyu, although the long-legged girl is cold and cold, and she doesn't talk much, she is absolutely smart and smart.

When Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to give the silver to Yang Hongyu, he also asked Yang Xing to bring a sentence to the past, stating that as long as he made money in the future, as long as fifty percent of it, the other fifty percent, two percent was Yang Xing's errand sales, and the remaining thirty percent was at Yang Hongyu's disposal.

In this way, the interests of Yang Xu and Yang Hongyu are integrated, and I think that the long-legged and fierce legs will take more care of themselves in the future.

"A few of us just sold a little bit of foot power, it's not worth taking so much ......"

Yang Xing shook his head and excused himself.

Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi were rubbing their hands on the side, looking excited.

They have already calculated in their hearts, according to this rate of making money, even if a few of them only take one percent, there will be no problem in eating enough in the future, and if they don't get it, they will have spare money to buy some sprinkling meat and add some new clothes.

They have secretly decided that in the future, except for the owner of the village and the military advisor, they will listen to this Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang will let them face east, and they will never face west.

Yang Xu smiled: "Jinyang City is too far away, I'm really too lazy to go down the mountain." In the future, I may have a lot of things that require you to run errands back and forth, so you can just take this money with peace of mind! ”

Yang Xing heard him mention Jinyang City, and suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Yang, we met Yan Feixue Yan from Meixianglou in Jinyang City today, she said that she admires your talent and wants to ...... with you for a while."

Yang Xu was stunned: "Meixianglou? Yan Feixue? I don't know her......"

Yang Fugui was quick to talk, and in a few words, he told Yan Feixue about buying a fan.

"The Qingqi people in the Qinglou? Not interested...... I don't see ......."

In Yang Xu's impression, most of this kind of happy women are acting on the spot, unrighteous and unkind, and he can't arouse the slightest interest in dealing with such a woman.

However, in Yang Fugui's mouth, Yan Feixue's appearance is comparable to Yang Hongyu's long-legged fierce girl, and he can be admired by such a woman, and his vanity has also been slightly satisfied.

An ordinary bamboo fan, just because it is equipped with good books, paintings, and poems, was sold for ten taels of silver, and the buyer is still a happy woman, Zhao Guo's literary style is prosperous, which can be seen in general.

And Yan Feixue's purchase of a bamboo fan also made Yang Xu see a good way to make a fortune.

In a short time, the meat in the pot has been stewed, the wine has been opened, and every household has a large bowl of meat with soup, and those who like to drink wine have also been distributed.

So dozens of families and more than 200 villagers ate and drank under the night sky and by the fire.

The aroma of wine and meat permeated the whole village, and the laughter and laughter echoed endlessly in the night.

The grandfather who lived in the cottage at Zhaikou was lying on a stone slab in front of the door at the moment, and he was also enjoying the wine and meat sent by Yang Fugui.

"The villagers of Yangjiazhai have not been so happy for many years? All of this is because of that kid...... Well, that kid is good, if you don't be my uncle in Yangjiazhai, it's a pity......"

Grandpa squinted his eyes, looked at the villagers where the fire was lit, wiped the corners of his mouth, and whispered to himself.
