Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing Pigs
"Kill the pig!"
Merton personally cooked and treated himself, and then boiled the rice he bought from Chang'an into a fragrant pot, and the fragrance alone made people salivate.
No, it's not dinner yet! Li Yi and several old people from Mojia Village came together.
"It smells so good!" The one-armed Uncle Wang sniffed with his nose from afar.
"Alright, it's time to eat!" Merton shouted and instructed Tie An and Ziyi to bring the food to the table.
Seeing Mo Dun cooking in person, although Li Yi and the others were surprised, they didn't say anything, Mojia Village was too poor in the past few years, and they couldn't eat enough, who still cares about the Confucian principle that the gentleman cooks far away.
Braised pork, plum cabbage button meat, sweet and sour tenderloin, pig rice, and a few seasonal vegetables, the dishes are not much, the victory is large, each serving is filled with two large bowls, plus a bowl of fragrant rice in front of each person, everyone's appetite has been suspended.
A huge round table was placed in the center of the hall, and Master Yu, Fu Bo, Li Yi, Mo Dun, one-armed Uncle Wang, Yu Er, Li Xin, Tie An, Lao Zhangtou, the only doctor in the village, and Mr. Li Fuzi, the only private school in the village, sat down one after another.
Doctor Hua claimed to be a descendant of Hua Tuo, but he was a military doctor in the Shengong Battalion before, but according to Merton, it is estimated that in order to increase his value, Doctor Hua is just boasting. However, Doctor Hua's medical skills are indeed good, Mojia Village has been sick for so many years, and he has basically treated the disease to get rid of it, and almost all of the villagers are operating at a loss, and even poor families are free medical treatment, mainly relying on people from villages outside the pit to barely survive.
As for Li Fuzi, Merton's impression of him was terrifying, it was his private school when he was a child, and he was beaten by him, as for Li Xinyu, Er Tie'an and others also saw that Li Fuzi was also honestly doing a good job, and consciously very.
plus Merton and Purple sat down, a total of thirteen people.
"Round Table, Thirteen Knights." Merton was triumphant.
Everyone here knows what it means to be invited by Merton, and from now on, it will be the team of Mojia Village, but Ziyi looks cute, staring at the plum cabbage and drooling.
"Open the meal!" Morton said angrily, the first to move the chopsticks, and a piece of braised pork to signal everyone to start.
"Yay!" Ziyi cheered, and the chopsticks pounced on it as soon as possible, and Yuer Li Xin was not to be outdone, immediately
"Haha, young people have such a good appetite, guys! We're also moving. Fauber grew up watching purple, laughing and kicking her in the round.
Master Yu and Li Yi were also full of embarrassment, glared at their son fiercely, and hurriedly put down their chopsticks, otherwise they would be swept away by these foodies.
When they moved their chopsticks, they couldn't stop, and in the end, even Li Fuzi, who paid attention to the image of Mojia Village, joined the ranks of grabbing vegetables.
"This is mine!" Physician Hua angrily rebuked Li Yi.
"Whoever grabbed it!" Li Yi said without shame.
If you don't pay attention, you were robbed by the one-armed Uncle Wang, don't look at Uncle Wang's missing arm, no one can compare to the meal.
The old head Li Fuzi was silent, and the chopsticks under his hands did not stop.
Soon the tables were in disarray, and everyone was full of food and tea.
"The young master's cooking skills, when he arrives in Chang'an City, he is also a chef, and he is about to compare me to me." Master Yu burped.
"Blow it! As far as your craftsmanship is concerned, it's just two fish to burn, and the rest is average! Li Fuzi sneered and said, he was robbed of meat by Master Yu just now.
"That's it!" The other old men also echoed each other. Soon several old people pinched together.
Soon the table was cleared and everyone was seated in their seats.
Merton looked around and said, "Uncles, uncles and brothers, I have summoned you here today because I will go to Guozijian to study in the next year, and the development of Mojia Village will depend on everyone's collective efforts." ”
"Young master, don't worry, we old bones in Mojia Village will guard it for the young master." Li Yi assured, and the other old people also nodded silently, it is not easy for Mojia Village to have today, they are not willing to let Mojia Village return to poverty and backwardness, no one has thought about that kind of day.
"Young master, don't worry, even if you arrange it, we will definitely handle it properly, if those little cubs are disobedient, I will slap him." Master Yu said domineeringly, making Yu Er want to lower his head under the table.
"Good! Then I'll talk about the plan for next year in Mojia Village! Merton paused, and everyone suddenly perked up, and they had full confidence in the magical young master.
"The live fish business still has to be done." Merton looked at Master Fish.
Master Yu nodded, the live fish business is currently the biggest source of wealth in Mojia Village, and it will not be lost.
"But the secret technique of live fish will be announced soon, and our business will be very difficult to do then!" Yu Er said worriedly.
Master Yu glared at Yu Er with hatred of iron and steel: "What's not good to do, Mojia Village is now in five fish shops in Chang'an City, and it has already seized the market, and other villages have also been connected, as long as the supply of goods is maintained, in terms of hardship, who are we afraid of in Mojia Village?" ”
"Uncle Yu is right!" Merton agreed. "However, our Mojia Village can't rely on other villages, we also have our own supply of goods, our ten fish ponds are obviously not enough, but there is a good place to raise fish in the upper reaches of our Mojia Village!"
"The young master is talking about the Stone Turtle Lake!" Master Yu said with a move in his eyes.
Merton nodded and said, "Stone Turtle Lake is just the right place to experiment with the artificial fish farming method we have introduced, and at the same time, it can also make the live fish market in Mojia Village invincible. ”
There is no one in the upper reaches of Shijiao Lake, and the downstream is adjacent to the fiefdom of Mojia Village, which theoretically belongs to the territory of Mojia Village, and Mojia Village has also paid attention to this lake before, but the lake is too deep, and it is too difficult to fish, so it has been abandoned, and now there is a method of artificial fish farming, which is simply a treasure made in Mojia Village.
"That's it!" Li Yi patted his thigh and said. He originally thought that after Merton revealed the secret technique of live fish, the live fish business in Mojia Village would be hit, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all, and it will go to a higher level.
Others are just happy! The young master really didn't disappoint them, if they continue to develop like this, Mojia Village can't be poor.
"In the future, the business of transporting fish in Mojia Village will be handed over to Li Xinlai to be responsible!" Merton looked at Li Xin and ordered.
"Thank you, young master!" Li Xin stood up and said calmly.
"Chang'an City's live fish business is handed over to Yu Er to be responsible!" Merton's unexpected appointment made Yu Shuang stand up at a loss.
"Didn't my father be in charge of this?" Yu Er looked hopeful, and he was afraid that his father would be angry.
The others also looked at Merton in confusion, not understanding why Merton did this.
