Chapter 27: A Day's Harvest
A line of egrets went up to the sky, oh, wrong, a group of tenants carried five wild boars to Zhangjia Village, fortunately, there were four people carrying them together, sharing the weight, talking and laughing along the way.
"Boss of the Zhao family, did you say that when the chief comes back from hunting, he will invite us to eat pork?"
Boss Zhao: "Needless to say, the chief is so good, the day before yesterday he also gave the old man and Yazi meat to eat, tell you, I was also present at the time, and I was given a bowl of broth, the chief was merciful, so I came over to help." If that Zhang peels the skin, he asks Lao Tzu to help, you see if Lao Tzu will care about him. ”
Li Si: "Boss of the Zhao family, you can brag, last time I saw you being arrested by Zhang Caitong to guard Zhang's mansion." ”
Boss Zhao's eyes widened, and he scolded viciously, "It's not the damn Zhang Paopi who caught Lao Tzu's woman, Lao Tzu dares not to guard, Zhang Paopi wants to kill Lao Tzu's woman, what can Lao Tzu do, Lao Tzu now wants to pick up Zhang Papi's ancestral grave." ”
Li Si: "That's right, damn Zhang Peel, or not." Then he lowered his voice and said, "When are the waiting, the brothers will go together to pick up Zhang Caitong's ancestral grave." ”
At the end of their team, Li Si's voice was heard by the four people carrying the wild boar.
When Boss Zhao heard this, he hesitated a little, although Zhang Caitong lacked morality, but he picked up other people's ancestral graves, which was not good to say.
Li Si: "Why don't we find the chief and ask him to make decisions for us." ”
Boss Zhao and a few people didn't answer, nonsense, if the people in the village heard the rumors and said that they were going to pick up other people's ancestral graves, no matter whose ancestral graves they picked, would they still be able to be people in Zhangjia Village in the future!
The group rested and finally returned to Zhangjia Village after an hour.
Someone came to Zhang Youde out of breath, "Master Zhang, go back, come back, they're back." ”
Zhang Youde put down his somewhat numb hand, clenched his fist and turned around a few times to relieve the soreness of grasping the pen, and he sorted out the commonly used words according to Zijian's instructions.
"Don't worry, speak slowly!"
The person who came relieved himself, "Master Zhang, the tenant who followed the chief to come back with the wild boar is almost in the village." ”
Zhang Youde instructed, "You go and call a few pig killers and ask people to boil water." ”
Zhang Youde was preparing to clean up the wild boar, and the tenants who carried the wild boar also returned to Zhangjia Village and carried the wild boar to the barracks.
The tenants who heard the news followed to see the excitement, and several pig killers sharpened their knives and sharpened their butcher knives.
The program that Zijian had arranged before began to operate with the arrival of the wild boar.
The pig killer looked at the wild boar that was brought back, and gasped, what the wild boar had experienced, it was too miserable, none of them were bled to death from the neck normally, and the butt of a wild boar was split, what kind of strength can this be.
Shock is shock, how the wild boar died I can't care, they all start to clean up the wild boar.
When the time came to noon, Zhang Youde asked the tenants to eat rice, and the tenants finally ate dry rice, and sighed at the generosity of the chief, not only to pay the salary, but also to eat enough.
Things got busy, and the first tenants came back with wild boars, and the latter came back one after another, and after a meal, they set out again.
In the Volunteer Barracks, pig killers are busy cleaning up wild boars.
Soon put the cleaned pork in the cauldron to cook, dozens of cauldrons in a row to cook the meat is quite spectacular, the blazing fire is boiling pork, and large pieces of meat are tumbling in the cauldron.
Zhang Youde looked at the busy scene, the women who came to help were in a hurry, but everyone had a smile on their faces, and they all spoke with a smile, he had never seen this kind of scene, seeing such an unprecedented scene, there was a kind of indescribable, invisible, and the previous lifeless, numb look is very different.
Zhang Youde pondered silently, and couldn't figure out that the chief came to Zhangjia Village for a few days, and the tenants seemed to come to life, what was the reason, Zhang Youde, a scholar, began to think.
This question plagued him all his life, and it was not until later, after he stepped down as the prime minister of the empire, that he returned to Zhangjiacheng and figured out the reason for the change of tenants back then.
At this time, Zijian blocked in front of the cave, the wild boar rushed over, after Zijian dodged, he kicked on the wild boar from the side, the wild boar flew up and hit the stone, Zijian stepped forward and cut the neck of the wild boar, and finally the wild boar that resisted was killed, this is the 45 wild boars hunted by Zijian.
After such a long time, only 45 wild boars were hunted, Zijian was helpless, the wild boar herd was far away, and the road was not easy to walk, if the wild boars were concentrated, Zijian could kill hundreds of wild boars without injury, believe it or not.
"Li Hu! Come and work, and catch these little wild boars for me to raise. ”
The cave is five meters deep, and there are a few small wild boars that are afraid to shiver, and these are not bad to catch and raise.
Zhang Laosi: "Chief, the wild boars in this area are almost gone, and if you want to catch more wild boars, you have to go deeper." ”
Zijian looked at the sun, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, if he went inside, maybe he would have to spend the night in the mountains.
Zijian: "Li Hu, let people carry the wild boar away, go back!" ”
Li Hu smiled bitterly, chief, he is cool for hunting, and the volunteers he brought are busy with things, and no one is available.
"Chief, there are not enough people. Moreover, some volunteers carried wild boars three times and walked back and forth in the mountains, and they were already tired. ”
It will take at least an hour to get out of the mountains at the current location, and the volunteers themselves are already tired, and they have to come over the mountains where the road is not easy to walk, and it will take even longer.
Zijian is dumbfounded, he can't leave three wild boars behind! I regret not bringing people in, now that there are three people here, Zhang Laosi and Li Hu don't expect to be able to carry the wild boar out of the mountain.
Yang Tian sighed, looking at the three wild boars lying on the ground, he could only rely on himself, Zijian cut down trees to make a trailer, and the first time he killed a wild boar, he was also dragged back to the cottage in this way, and now he has become the head of hundreds of people, why do you still have to do such a hard thing.
"Let's go! Hurry up and get out of the mountain, or it will be dark when you go back. Zijian estimated the time, and he would have to walk a long way after leaving the mountain before he could return to Zhangjia Village.
Zijian dragged the wild boar forward in the mountain, leaving traces behind, Li Hu followed with six small wild boars tied to vines, and Zhang Laosi led the way in front, here Zijian could no longer recognize the direction of the mountain.
Zhang Laosi led the way, and he was already calculating how much silver he could get, and the chief said, if he hit a wild boar, he would give him 100 copper coins, and he saw that the chief master had at least hit more than 40 wild boars, so how much silver could he get, anyway, it would not be less, Zhang Laosi was a big boss, and he could calculate how much he could take.
After walking for almost an hour, more than a dozen volunteers came to respond, Zijian threw the trailer vines on the ground, sat down, too tired, although he was in good health, but dragged three adult wild boars for an hour, he was not a machine, it was strange if he was not tired.
With volunteers coming to help, and the mountain will soon be able to come out of here, Zijian relaxed and waved his hand, "Go back." ”
The wild boar quilts in this area are over, and they will not be able to recover in a few years.
When it was about to get dark, Zijian finally returned to Zhangjia Village, and all the tenants and volunteers who had gone out with him returned safely.
Zhang Youde waited outside the village, and when he saw Zijian, he gave up, "The chief is back, why do you need something?" ”
Zijian: "You go and settle the wages of the tenants who help with the work, and tell you to go down and make five pots of pork porridge, all the tenants and their families can come to eat, as well as the old people and children in the village, they can also come and eat." For the time being, you go get busy! ”
Zhang Youde bent down and left to do business, fortunately, there was someone to deal with these miscellaneous things, Zijian shook his head and went to Zhang's house.
The two girls didn't see the chief for a day, sitting on the doorrail dragging their chins in a daze, seeing that the chief didn't come back for dinner at noon, they asked Teacher Zhang about it, only to know that the chief went out hunting, and the two girls have been worried, although they have seen the chief make a threat, but the thing is most afraid of what if!
"Girl, what are you doing sitting here!"
Zijian saw the two girls in a daze, he should be waiting for himself! Zijian thought uncertainly.
"Chief, you're back, chief, you're injured!"
Hearing the chief's voice, he saw the blood on Zijian's body, emitting a vomiting smell, Zijian was used to it and didn't feel anything, and almost fainted the two girls.
Zijian took a look, after a day of hunting, he killed so many wild boars, although he tried to avoid them, but there were still a lot of pigs splashed on his body, and he was hard along the way, Zijian was in charge there, and now he can't stand these smells.
"Play by yourselves, and the chief will take a shower."
The two girls were like tails, following Zijian, Xiaoxi, "Chief, we will help you." ”
Zijian almost choked to death, who did the two girls learn from, and they would tease the chief, and they didn't wave their hands back.
