The result of attacking the Zhao family's mansion was that it was very fruitful.

However, apart from the more than 100 Zhao clansmen and family members who blindly rushed out and were shot and cut down in front of the door, as well as hundreds of family members, slaves, and subordinates who remained in the mansion and hid, there was nothing else IQTA to gain.

Because what is somewhat surprising is that the owner of the village, Zhao Ziri, and his subordinates have not yet returned to Zhaojiazhai; That's why the defenses and the degree of resistance here are so weak and empty. They didn't get the news of the defeat in front of them in time, so they couldn't catch off guard at all, so they could only rely on temporarily mobilizing the young people in the village to fill the gaps in the wall to intimidate the forces of foreign invasion.

In other words, in their sense of distress, they still stayed on the large-scale armed fights in the previous township, and they did not have enough psychological preparation for the rebels who came to attack, but could only gather at the front gate and the mansion to resist a little.

Compared with the main residential areas in the village below, which have been concocted by friendly forces, the Zhao family's mansion and the nearby buildings at the highest point are the most valuable and rewarding places in this attack.

Hidden under the unremarkable gray tiled roof, five rice warehouses of full size were full of piles of sharp grain, as well as loads of salt and copper coins, which overflowed and scattered all over the ground at the slightest touch; In comparison, the loot obtained outside Changle County can only be regarded as a small thing.

The whole piece of bacon and the air-dried pigs and sheep hanging under the beams of the house, the whole jar is stuffed with white flower board oil, a large plate of smoked intestines like a thick cable stacked high, a large vat of soybean oil and rapeseed oil... Many of the rice grains in the lower layers of the cellar have rotted and blackened with mud because of the time, or have been eaten by insects, leaving only a light and empty shell;

But I don't know what kind of exploitation and scraping methods can be extracted from these villagers and rural people who seem to live in tatters and eat chaff and vegetables layer by layer.

In addition to the most common homespun cloth and coarse linen and other products that are eaten in the treasury and accumulated in the mountains, there are also thick and thin silk and cotton silk that are piled up in several rooms, as well as many objects that are obviously not produced or easily collected by Zhaojiazhai, and even have a distinctive foreign style or tribute style;

It shows that the owner of Zhaojiazhai usually has other shady side jobs and sources of income. This couldn't help but remind him of the robbery villages and their "simple folk customs" that continued in later generations until before the crackdown after the reform.

Zhou Huai'an now finally knows why the early Red Army liked to fight local tyrants to share floating wealth, or how these primitive exploiting classes used all kinds of means of accumulation to amass such a huge amount of wealth.

Especially with the other side that corresponds to the glamour of the Zhao family's mansion, those are not much smaller than the county jail, and the various torture chambers, forbidden rooms, cellars and puddles located under the mansion are full of corruption and foul odor, and the numerous torture instruments and unknown objects in them, as well as dozens of human bodies that are like walking dead or lingering, waiting to slowly decay or die little by little;

When you look at all this variety, it's easy to say something like "no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche." Although he was not able to catch and solve the main owner of Zhaojiazhai, after these initial gains, he could still let Zhou Huai'an take advantage of the situation on the spot to praise and reward this team that had just formed in the first formation.

For example, that night, the rebels opened their bellies and ate a time-filled local specialty "steamed rice", which is the practice of stir-frying chopped wind wax and steaming it together on rice, with a soup with heavy oil and salt; The leaders also each had a pot of mulberry wine, a large amount of haggis fried bait, and a portion of pickled dried oranges and plums.

Zhou Huai'an's staple food is a large plate of Daigo cakes, which are mainly a sweet pasta dish mixed with goat's milk and chicken mixed with bean noodles and garnished with chopped preserves. It's not bad in terms of taste, and it's already a little close to the chicken cake of later generations.

Originally, there was another special red leaf cake to choose from, which was wrapped in fried plate oil and steamed by knotweed groove and noodles, because the taste was too curious, so Zhou Huai'an just tasted it, and then thanked Bumin for sharing it and pushed it to others.

Although Zhou Huai'an did not drink alcohol, he still found Sanle pulp, plum tea, and apricot cheese among the more than a dozen drinks in the Zhao family's mansion;

The dishes are steamed eggs, simmered oxtail, roasted tenderloin, cheese lamb neck, goose breast in wine sauce, clam tofu, dried pork minced meat, etc., although there are also drunken belly and raw cut fish back can be provided, but it is rejected due to gastrointestinal adaptability and hygiene needs.

And these are almost all dishes that the owner of the village, Zhao Ziri, enjoys exclusively every day as a local tyrant. Although because of the relative scarcity and monotony of the talents of this era, it is inevitable that there will be some intensification and complexity in terms of processing and processing, so as to reflect a certain sense of superiority.

For example, in the recipe of this Zhao Zhai master, there are at least five ways to cook duck alone, while goose and chicken have seven or eight different parts of their own ways to eat; And a piece of mutton can also change the pattern, tossing more than a dozen kinds of names and colors;

It is difficult to imagine the life of those eunuchs who live in the city, or those more prominent famous counties, or the home life of the nobles and nobles.

Comparing what we see and hear in daily life, the dregs and wild vegetables eaten by ordinary people, and even the bark and grass roots used to satisfy hunger, it is not difficult to understand why there are always people in all dynasties who do not hesitate to do so, and constantly want to rise up and fight to the death.

It is no wonder that under such a huge contrast, after the generals of the rebel army entered the prosperous cities such as Guangzhou, they quickly became corrupt and degenerate in terms of life enjoyment and pomp.

Therefore, under the influence of the vision and self-control of modern people, he only briefly indulged and used it for a short time, and felt that his energy reserves increased slightly; I called the leaders of the apprentice team, the direct team, and the escort team to enjoy and divide these carefully prepared dishes together.

It's just that under some deep-rooted idea of subordination and inferiority, Xiao Qi and Liao Yuan, a few of them who are close to each other, refuse to sit at the same table with him, and would rather serve a plate of selected mixed and matched food, and stand next to it to eat very satisfied.

until he lay alone on the soft bed made by Ayara, covered with a new satin bedding; And in the fullness after digestion, after calming down again; Zhou Huai'an found that in the past two days, he seemed to be a little too deep and lost in his current position and temporary role, so that he got carried away and made up some things that were not necessary to be publicized or ostentatious.
