Chapter 52: Dividing the Meat
All the adults were also excited, and walked up and down the small hill that had been piled up and down the hind legs of the pig, and exchanged loudly, their faces full of excitement and joy.
It was the first time they had seen so much meat, and even in the city market, there had never been so much meat at one time.
After a commotion, all the villagers looked at Li Cheng with anticipation.
"Uncle Ma, these hind legs are the benefits I give to everyone, how should you come and see how to divide them?" Li Cheng did not ask the village chief's opinion this time, but turned his head to ask Uncle Ma, the eldest in the village.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this sentence is even more vividly reflected in ancient China, don't look at Li Dayou is the village head, but in fact, most of the time his words are not as effective as Uncle Ma, and Li Dayou as a supervisor, it is indeed inappropriate for him to decide the division of meat.
Li Cheng didn't know anything about the customs and habits of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have much desire for food.
He has already understood the situation in the village in the past few days, and he can only describe it in one word, that is, poverty, if he has to use a few more words, it is poverty and poverty.
Basically, every household is almost the same, there is no so-called furniture at all, except for the clay pot used for cooking, many of the bowls for eating are still stone bowls or simply a bamboo tube, chopsticks are thin bamboo sticks or branches, labor tools are mainly by hand, except for one or two bronze hoes in every household, even knives and axes are not complete.
The poverty of the people of the Tang Dynasty to this point was something Li Chengdu never expected, but if he thought about it carefully, he was relieved, this was the poorest place in the entire Tang Dynasty, if this was not the case, it would be really strange.
"Big... Da Lang, are you going to give us all this bunch of pig hind legs? Uncle Ma looked at Li Cheng with an incredulous face, and said in a trembling voice.
"Hmm," Li Cheng nodded at Uncle Ma.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, although everyone had already guessed when they saw this Roshan before, but after suddenly confirming this matter from Li Cheng's mouth, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, so many pork hind leg meat, what kind of wealth is that, a lifetime... Even if they add it to the next life, they can't have so much, but now they actually gave them these riches that they dare not imagine, which makes them not surprised and dishappy.
The way everyone looked at Li Cheng completely changed, not the kind of pity that looked at a fool, but the kind of worship that looked at a hero.
There are 2~300 households in the village, with a total population of nearly 1400 people, and each household has a pig's hind leg, which is unrealistic, some families have more than a dozen people, and some families have only two or three people, or simply only one... Under Li Cheng's deliberate guidance, Uncle Ma finally decided to let every six people take a piece of pig's hind leg back.
Moreover, Li Cheng said that the piece of pig's hind leg that he took back, regardless of age, was only counted according to the head, and if it was brought back and unevenly distributed, then he would not have his share in the future benefits.
This makes many women and children in a disadvantaged situation hot, with Li Cheng's remarks guarantee, that kind of bullying of the weak will basically not happen, as long as they are not stupid, people know what to do, and they are outside the neighborhood, and it is not good to look up and look down to see that evil person.
"Huh, it's finally distributed, Xiaocheng, you are really our nobleman, I estimate that this meat is enough for each person to eat for half a month..."
Li Cheng said to Uncle Ma: "Uncle is serious, I just did something that should be done"
Immediately, Li Cheng looked at the crowd again and shouted, "Folks, listen to me." ”
"Brother Cheng, you speak, we all listen"
"Yes, Xiaocheng, tell me quickly, as long as you don't ask us to rebel, we will follow you."
"Haha, I'm not afraid of rebellion, anyway, the second emperor here can't control us, and it's okay to let Brother Cheng be a soil emperor here"
“…”
The people who had been given the meat did not hurry to leave, but they all stood aside and waited. Hearing Li Cheng say that he had something to say, he really spared no effort to help, as they said, even if he went up the sword mountain and went down to the sea of fire, he would not frown.
Kindness is not a failure to repay, but a lack of opportunity.
Li Cheng raised his forehead and continued: "You have misunderstood, it is not as serious as the rebellion, I want to ask you here, are you satisfied with this benefit?" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Satisfied, so satisfied"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "This is just one of the benefits I give you, and there will be a better one next."
"What?! There are also benefits, Brother Cheng, talk about it quickly! ”
"I'll go, I'm almost unable to lift this piece of meat in this hand, there are benefits here, so which hand should I use to take it?"
"Why don't you take that piece of meat from your hand and I'll take it for you?"
"Roll the calf,"
Seeing that the reverberation effect was good, Li Cheng continued: "This second benefit is also meat, of course, it can also be exchanged for equivalent food, but..." Speaking of this, Li Cheng paused deliberately, and then looked around at everyone.
"But what? Cheng Xiaoge, you say it quickly..."Someone in the audience was in a hurry and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes, Li Dalang, say it quickly, Lao Zhang, I can't bear the 40-meter machete, I'm waiting for your order now."
"Poof, I see that your Zhang Ergou is not a 40-meter machete, but a five-cent short ding..."
"Hahaha ~ a small short ding of five cents"
Everyone laughed unscrupulously, making Zhang Ergou's face flush for a while, and there were many women in the crowd who directly covered their faces with their sleeves, not daring to look at this group of hooligan men again, especially Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law was even more self-conscious, with a pair of pretty faces covered with red glow, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
When everyone was almost fighting, Li Cheng said loudly: "This second benefit is like this, from today onwards, we will stop working for three days, but during these three days, I will still pay you half of your wages when you work, and as long as someone brings in a new person to work in these three days, then I will give him a rod of meat, every person pulled is a rod, and the person who is pulled also has a rod of meat, the age is at least 15 years old and above, male or female, however, you can't force people to come, you have to come voluntarily to count, Otherwise, it won't count, and naturally you won't get food rewards... One rod of meat per person, never the upper limit, can also be exchanged for the same amount of grain, salt ...... "What Li Cheng said is the development and downline method of pyramid marketing in later generations, and the difference between the pyramid scheme method after the rain is that this is for the benefit of the people and self-interest, not just for their own selfishness and harm others.
"This?! Cheng'er, what you said is true? Uncle Ma was completely shocked, if this is true, how much meat will it take to fill this vacancy.
"Well, uncle, I didn't lie to you, besides, you can go and pull people from the afternoon, the more the merrier, I will prepare meat at home and wait for your arrival." Li Cheng said seriously.
Hiss!
The people around gasped, this turned out to be true, it was true! My mother, if someone brings people from a city, they will become rich in minutes.
Now it's okay, Li Cheng, completely aroused the aggressiveness of this group of villagers, their eyes were green, and they couldn't wait for the wind under their feet, so they immediately ran to the city with the largest number of people to pull people.
There are more people who think of their relatives and friends in other villages, and if there is such a good thing, of course, they must do their best to come first.
Seeing that the matter had been explained, Li Cheng was not verbose, so he immediately said goodbye and left, leaving a kind of villager who was still in a daze.
As soon as the morning passed, Xiaohe Village also ushered in the era of lunch break, but in addition to Li Cheng's family, which was still somewhat normal, the adults of the various families in the village went into the house to pack up their burdens and hurriedly went to other villages or towns.
At the same time, Qinghe Cui's house.
"Young master, the dog demon and wolf demon you want have been found." A small guy pushed open Cui Bisheng's door
"So fast? Didn't I just tell you to go out and look for it? "Cui Bisheng looked at the wolf and dog behind Xiao Shi, and felt that Aite was a big and a small wolf and a dog fainting on the side of the road, and it was we who picked up a bargain."
"Oh, bring it in, then! Doesn't bite anyone, does this? ”
"Young master, don't worry, we have tied the teeth of this wolf and dog, and the claws have also been wrapped by us, so we can't hurt anyone." The little guy turned around and motioned to the two heels behind him to carry the wolf and dog into the house, and then respectfully reported to Cui Bisheng.
After placing a wolf and a dog, everyone went out, after all, Cui Bisheng is still in a period of confinement, and no one else is allowed to contact him.
From morning to noon, Cui Bisheng almost sat in the room, studying the props he bought, playing Tang Seng for a while, playing Sun Wukong for a while, blowing a small song from time to time, fiddling for a morning, there was not much strength left, but he was obviously enjoying it.
"Alas~ Why is my dad so stupid? Isn't it good to go to the West to learn scriptures? I have to inherit the huge family business at home, the baby is bitter! ”
By noon, Cui Bisheng was sitting alone in the room, pouring saliva while eating, and in the two days of confinement, he didn't think about finding a way to escape, but all of them failed, and the dozens of big men outside the door were not something he could shake.
Congratulations to the "Heavenly Demon Emperor"!
Congratulations to "Is it your sun"!
