At night, in the water, the bustle of the evening subsides quickly after nightfall.

After finding out where these people came from, the lieutenant Huo Yuanjie was also a lot more enthusiastic, after all, he was a talent invited by the lord, as Uncle Liu's most loyal soldier, how could Huo Yuanjie not be enthusiastic about them?

Of course, the origin and whereabouts of these people are not credible, and Huo Yuanjie also has reservations.

Dispersed the crowd watching the excitement, and Lihuo Yuanjie directly greeted these people to their home and settled down.

It is only a small mile in the water, there are only more than 30 households in it, there is neither a wine store nor a guest house, and no one in the other villagers' families is rich.

Huo Yuanjie was parachuted into the water to serve as the lieutenant chief, and the one standing behind him was Uncle Liu Huang. Therefore, Huo Yuanjie not only has the most power in the desecration, but also the richest, and his family's house is several.

This is not Huo Yuanjie's fish and meat township, but when he retired, he received a large amount of pension, as well as food and salary.

At that time, when his comrades in the army sent him to take up the post of lieutenant commander in Shushuili, they also built several houses for him by the way.

Therefore, Huo Yuanjie's house is not only the richest in the water, but also the most spacious room, and it is not a problem to settle twenty or thirty people to rest.

At present, the elder brother's family has not migrated over, and such a wide house is empty, since these people are talents recruited by the lord, if they meet him Huo Yuanjie, Huo Yuanjie feels that it is necessary for him to entertain him.

At the mayor's house, Huo Yuanjie was entertaining these guests.

Drinks, even if Huo Yuanjie is the chief, he doesn't have it for the time being.

In this era, the people wanted to drink, and basically lost their home-brewed wine at the end of the year, mostly a small jar, at most one or twenty gold. For this point of brewing, it is still the family with a slightly wealthier family that has the spare energy to brew.

As for the people who buy wine, they are all really rich people, and they don't have the energy to make wine, so they don't care about that spare money.

Huo Yuanjie also has some spare money now, but Dushui is just a poor village, he just wants to buy wine, and he has no place to spend it. Therefore, even if it is the chief of the family, Huo Yuanjie can't get a drink now.

The only thing Huo Yuanjie can get his hands on now is a fairly hearty meal.

When he retired, he not only received a generous pension, but also received a salary.

Therefore, Huo Yuanjie's family is not short of food.

In addition, there are thirty catties of meat in those salaries, which is the main dish of Huo Yuanjie to entertain guests.

Meat, it's all horse meat, so it's naturally not good meat. Uncle Liu Huang's westward entry into Hanzhong has been continuous, and there are not a few dead war horses on both sides of the enemy, and there is meat for three meals a day in the army, but he can't eat so much at once.

So, Uncle Liu Huang was benevolent, and when the disabled veterans retired, each of them gave out some horse meat.

For large households, although horse meat is not a good meat, it is difficult to see the smell of meat all year round for ordinary people. Therefore, this bit of horse meat in Huo Yuanjie's family is already a lot of wealth in the water.

Horse meat, naturally, can't be put away for such a long time. However, it is said that it was taught by Zhuge Junshi, after the horse meat was salted and exposed to the sun for several days, there was no need to worry about rotting and it could be stored for a long time.

Of course, if you don't have that much salt, you can also use pine branches to burn smoked horse meat.

After smoking, horse meat can also be preserved for a long time.

Moreover, the marinated horse meat, or smoked horse meat, tastes very good.

Now, at the dinner table, even the Huo Yi family, who have always been well-dressed and well-fed, is not picky about this kind of smoked horse meat, which is evident.

……

More than a dozen young men and women cooked a large pot of horse meat and some other vegetables at another table in the courtyard.

It is rare for ordinary people to see oil and water all year round, these young men are all good guys, whether it is to integrate into the water as soon as possible, or to help these young people, Huo Yuanjie will call these young men to come together every once in a while.

Anyway, it's nothing more than boiling half a catty of bacon.

Yes, even if it is a tooth sacrifice, it is impossible for Huo Yuanjie to eat meat openly.

Now that he is not in the army, his thirty catties of smoked horse meat, Huo Yuanjie is still going to eat it for a whole year.

After eating these smoked horse meats, if he wants to eat meat, he Huo Yuanjie has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Of course, in order to integrate into the water, and in order to let these young men have a good body and become the combat power under Uncle Liu Huang as soon as possible, Huo Yuanjie is also willing to give up these horse meats.

At this time, Huo Yuanjie didn't know that under the strong leadership of the military advisor Zhuge Kongming, the pension policy under Uncle Liu Huang was naturally more than that. Zhuge Liang's pension policy for Uncle Liu Huang can almost be on par with future generations.

Not to mention the pension, for the families of the war dead, as well as the disabled retired veterans, as long as it is within the influence of Uncle Liu Huang, the local government will distribute some condolences during the New Year's holidays, including meat.

Of course, meat condolences are distributed at the end of the year.

After all. This era is not the afterlife, and there is no meat to the point where it is too much to eat.

In the room, looking at the smoked horse meat on the table, Li Yan saw some doorways: In this era, the people are not rich, but not everyone can take out so much meat to greet guests at once.

Don't say anything, the family should be richer.

Li Yan is a warden for many years, and when he was in Jingxiang, he walked through countless townships, but he had never seen the township chief or the mayor's house, and he could prepare such meat for a long time.

……

"Chief Huo Li is a retired veteran, dare to ask Chief Huo Li, are the retired veterans under Uncle Liu Huang all treated like this?"

After eating and drinking, Li Yan pulled the chief Huo Yuanjie, and knocked on the side of this cup to find out, what kind of lord Uncle Liu Huang is, after all, he Li Yan is now voting for his family, he must know what the lord's temperament is, right?

No matter how good the legend is in the outside world, it is better to be famous than to see it.

Now, this veteran is retired under Uncle Liu.

If the retired veterans under Uncle Liu Huang are treated like this, with generous pensions, arranged a job, rewarded with some farmland, and meat rewards, then Li Yan can understand some of Uncle Liu's temperament.

Huo Yi was originally going to take his family to rest, but when he saw Li Yan knocking on the side of this Huo Lichang, he also stayed to observe, and only let his wife and children go to the arranged guest room to rest.

Although Huo Yi took the initiative to defect to Uncle Liu Huang, he also wanted to know more about the temperament of the future lord.

There was a brief exchange when he entered the village just now, and Huo Yi already knew that this Huo Li Chang was still the distant branch of the Huo family in their Nanjun, and it was definitely a family five hundred years ago. That's why Horry doesn't doubt where they're coming.

Nanjun Huo family, even if the family has declined, it is not something that anyone can pretend!
