Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Time to Make a Big Deal!
The words of the young master of the owner have all been said about this, Niu Fengchun is not only grateful in his heart, but he is no longer good at persuading him, and when he greets, all the men received the silver in turn.
After finishing it, the front and back doors were closed, and a group of more than 80 people went up to the east and west streets.
Although the weather turned cooler in late autumn, most of these men who were begging for food on the dock were wearing cloth shirts, with two thick arms exposed (sleeveless shirts in ancient times, not long-sleeved shirts now), and most of the poor were even bare-chested, although a few were thin, they were also full of muscles.
followed the new owner again, these men were afraid of losing the face of the owner, learning from Zhang Huanghe Xia Zhongyong's appearance, for the first time in his life, he walked with his head held high and strided, and walked one by one. One by one, he secretly wrote down the address of Zhang Zhen's new store, and swore in his heart that he would never provoke him.
With Li Erniu and his group of locals as guides, Zhang Zhen quickly purchased five large iron pots, forty steamers, ten stone white noodles, five small long tables for chopping vegetables, ten tables for eight immortals, forty high benches, and a shovel for each person.
Buying so many things must have been carried by these men.
The shovel is a tool for work, and the others are used to manage the rice, seeing these things, not to mention how energetic these men are carrying, especially the ten stone white noodles and five iron pots, one by one scrambling to carry, without two sentences, they will be red-faced, if it weren't for Zhang Zhen, the owner of the house, would definitely have to fight.
Xia Zhongyong shouted: "What are you fighting for? Wanghu Village is still six or seven miles, and it will be replaced by one or two miles. ”
The men have long believed that Xia Zhongyong is the identity of the housekeeper and guard, his words are still very good, and soon there will be ten men, one person and two bags of noodles on the shoulder, and the others can only look at it with envy, as for the iron pot, Li Erniu, this guy has all five iron pots, and he is like a pregnant woman in his arms, he is the first to receive it from the owner, and no one can compete for it, so he has to pick up the shovels and other things thrown by his companions, and wait for the rotation unwillingly.
Originally, the momentum of a group of men was surprising enough, and with the addition of these things, the momentum of the men doubled, and the mighty procession walked through the street, attracting countless people to watch, and the discussion never stopped, and even many people followed out of the town.
It is easy to catch a long road when you are in a good mood, not to mention that the men are still very excited, in addition to being unwilling or eager to change the white noodles all the way, the footsteps are not half a trace of lightness, and they soon arrived at Wanghu Village.
Leaving four bricklayers to support the pot in the compound they had just bought, and recruited six women from the village, Xu Yi took care of two steamed buns per meal as long as he had work, and helped cook for five cents a day, Zhang Zhen took everyone to the field.
Standing in the middle of this large field, Zhang Zhen pointed to Dushan Lake and said: "After sowing, dig a canal in the middle of this, all the way to the village, the canal is one and a half zhang wide, and one zhang wide is set aside on both sides to store the earthwork, and the rest of the land is divided equally." ”
After Xia Zhongyong heard this, he immediately measured the reserved canal, and then ordered the men to stand in two rows, from Dushan Lake to Zhuangzi, and after seeing enough neatness, he gave an order, and each person was responsible for a section, and the canal was drawn out, and each of them quickly built a small dam.
Xia Zhongyong took the abacus and did a good calculation, so he calculated how much each person should share, and took a large group of people to divide the land.
There are many helpers, and everyone can trust Xia Zhongyong, as long as Xia Zhongyong steps to make a mark on the four corners of the wooden stick, someone will immediately be eager to claim it, and the land is divided, each with their own ridges.
Zhang Zhen walked to the edge of Dushan Lake, the first man had just finished playing the ridge, Zhang Zhen smiled: "You are lucky, you can take the first one, what is your name?" ”
Luckily, he took the lead, and the man was still happy after beating the ridges, and replied happily: "Go back to the young master of the east family, the little You Ermao." (This is the most bizarre name among the people the author knows, I have seen all the ID cards, and I use them.) )
Zhang Zhen smiled: "You Ermao? Come to think of it, what is the name of this person on the ground with you? ”
"The proprietor asked Fang Shi? We've been working together for seven or eight years, and I really don't know what this stone is called. You Ermao turned his head and shouted: "Stone! The young master of the proprietor asked what is your name? ”
The man still hit the ridge seriously, and replied without raising his head: "Fang Yu! Jade of jade! ”
You Ermao said with a smile: "Young Master of the East Family, his name is Fang Yu, to be honest, today is the time I have listened to him the most, there is a stuffy stone, and the owner doesn't know how to come over when he asks, young master, don't be surprised." ”
"Not really!" Zhang Zhen smiled: "I can rest assured that he has such a temperament, but it's you!" The first piece of land by Dushan Lake will be my face in the future, and you must get me a ten-stone mu to produce it! ”
"Young Master... Can you really collect ten stones? You Ermao asked tangledly, the yield per mu is ten stone of grain, the key is that in addition to potatoes and sweet potatoes, the other grains have never heard of this yield! Although I was looking forward to it very eagerly, I was always a little lacking in confidence.
Zhang Zhen said confidently: "I will give you the best seeds, you are guarding Dushan Lake, the water and fertilizer are timely, but you have taken advantage of the right time, place and people, only 1,200 catties, if you can't do it, jump into the lake and commit suicide!" ”
Being persuaded to commit suicide, You Ermao was not angry but happy, and said excitedly: "I am relieved to have the words of the young master of the owner, not that I You Ermao brags, don't look at my hippie smiling face, just about hardship, except for the Tan people who do not see the light of day, even the square stone is not stronger than me, the so-called three hardships of supporting the boat and selling iron and tofu are far worse, I will guard the edge of the ground, the young master can rest assured!" I won't lose the face of the owner! ”
'There are three hardships in life, supporting the boat to strike iron and sell tofu! Zhang Zhen has heard of this, what is the matter with this Tan man? You Ermao didn't even look down on the three hardships, but he was very convinced of this Tan man.
"Tanker?" Zhang Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What does that do?" Can you be so convinced? ”
Seeing the owner's question, You Ermao explained seriously: "I don't know how this title came about, anyway, it's the rowing boat on the official boat, young master, haven't you seen it, don't look at the official boat running fast on the water one by one, these people are contributing, I heard that once it slows down a little, it is a whipping, the scars on the body, I look at it and I am worried, all of them are not human, I have tasted the food once, just my good teeth, the hard food almost knocked out my front teeth, that is really out of cow horsepower to eat pig and dog food, And it is also chained, I am afraid that I will not be able to go ashore for the rest of my life, and the strength of others is out, we are really convinced! ”
"That's it!" Zhang Zhen suddenly said: "If it is as you said, just for this hardship, it is really convincing!" Can't the chains be opened? ”
You Ermao sighed and said: "The iron chain is the thickness of a little finger, and I don't know which official the key is, how to open it?" Eighty percent of them have to die to be liberated! ”
Zhang Zhen turned around and walked towards the lake, looking at the rows of large and small boats around Nanyang Town from a distance, and thought in his heart: "As long as you are rescued, this Tan man will be a natural dead man!" It's time to go big! ”
