037 Eleven Piglets
Qu Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, there is a story between them, so what should I do about this matter?
Zhang Jiayong didn't know why, looking at the man's eyes with strong hostility, the kitchen knife he was holding also had the smell of attack.
"You all let me in."
Coincidentally, at this time, Butcher Zhang actually came back.
Ah Qing and Zeng Miaoya also came along, probably knowing that something was wrong at home and rushed back in advance.
Butcher Zhang seemed to know this man, and when he saw him, his face was very unhappy, and he protected Aunt Caifeng behind him.
The atmosphere was a little delicate, Ah Qing walked to Qu Xiaoqi's side and held Qu Xiaoqi's hand affectionately.
"I thought you were killed in battle, but I didn't expect you to be a deserter...... I have been worried about it for many years, and I have complained about the monarch of the country for so long. In Aunt Caifeng's eyes, there is no longer much emotion for the sloppy man, but there is a sense of hatred for iron and steel.
Butcher Zhang was a little surprised, but because so many people were present, he didn't open his mouth to prevent the two from 'catching up'.
When the old doctor heard Aunt Caifeng mention the monarch of Chaoguo, even if he jumped to his feet, the most taboo thing he was about the false name of the monarch of Chaoguo outside.
"Those who entered the army a long time ago have gone to war after the current monarch took office. The surviving talents are basically promoted, and the dead with family members will also be given some money, how can they not even know whether they are dead or alive! ”
"That's it, the one in the next village, the son of the family went to the battlefield, and there are more than 100 people under his hands! They all walked sideways! "When it comes to being a soldier and fighting, this group of villagers has something to talk about.
The old woman didn't know if she was scared or what was going on, and now she began to retch, pinching her neck.
The old doctor hurriedly took out another porcelain bottle, handed it to the old woman, and said, "I still have one bottle here, hurry up and take it." ”
It is estimated that this is shouting out of oxygen.
The old woman had just drunk the antidote, and the sloppy man suddenly looked not very good-looking, covered his stomach and said, "Thatched house...... Where's the thatched house? ”
Zhang Jiayong suddenly felt a foul smell under his nose, covered his nose, and pointed in a direction.
After the sloppy man entered the hut, everyone focused on the old woman sitting on the ground.
"Your matter should be resolved, and it is easy to do, compensate according to the price, you just sign a deed." Qu Xiaoqi spoke, it is better for her to do this kind of thing as a bad person.
"Hmph."
"It just so happens that the village chief is here to testify, if you can't come up with the money, you can mortgage the land. If you refuse to mortgage and don't take the money, don't blame me for forcibly taking you to the official. ”
The village chief's face sank, and he said, "It's all from the villagers, don't make things too desperate." ”
Qu Xiaoqi hooked the corners of her mouth, she understood what the village chief meant. It's nothing more than that they made a little money, and the village chief couldn't get used to it, but Qu Xiaoqi swept the village chief's face when he said this.
After all, in the huge Linxi Village, when will it be her turn to be the junior.
"Village Chief, you are the head of a village, and you should know best in your heart. If we really develop in the future and need to employ people, we will definitely not go to people from other villages. When the time comes, our reputation will be out, but don't let a few stinky fish spoil a pot of soup. ”
When he said this, Qu Xiaoqi himself felt excited, no wonder the villains died of talking too much.
Using verbal attacks to provoke others, it's inexplicably a little cool.
The village chief's face changed and changed, and in the end he did not continue to interfere, after all, Butcher Zhang really had some status in the village, and he still had to buy meat from him in the future, and he couldn't help but give face.
"I don't sign it."
After Zhang Jiayong drafted the deed, he got such a sentence.
"I didn't ask you to sign it, as long as you pressed your handprint." Qu Xiaoqi said with a smile.
"I don't press it!" The old woman pouted.
"Do you want to go to jail?"
The old woman snorted coldly, she relied on the fact that she would not be sent to the official to do so.
After a stalemate for a while, the village chief forcibly pressed the old woman's handprint on the white paper, an act that the village chief and the two strong men did together.
Qu Xiaoqi swore that he would never want to hear this pig-like voice again.
As soon as she let go of the old woman, she threw herself at the deed, threatening to destroy it.
"Don't worry, I will hand over the deed to the government tomorrow for safekeeping, and keep a backup in my own hands, you can tear it up as you like." Zhang Jiayong said with a cold face.
I didn't expect this little guy to learn badly with Qu Xiaoqi, and he was so angry that he couldn't pay for his life.
The old woman's face turned green, and she got up from the ground and walked out of the place with a swift pace.
The sloppy man walked out of the hut hunched over at the moment, and then suddenly returned again, and the pigs in the yard also snorted.
Once the matter was settled, the crowd dispersed in greetings.
The deed was proposed to be five taels of silver, and if it was used to buy land, it could only buy one acre of dry land, so Qu Xiaoqi thought about renting it.
For five taels of silver, you can rent ten acres of land for a year.
The yield of one acre of dry land in half a year is only two stones, and this stone wheat is sold for one or two silver after grinding into flour, which is considered a high price.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't know how many fields Xihe's sister's family has, and she planned to plant soybeans and wheat, but she was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.
This matter has to be discussed with Aunt Caifeng, and if they agree, the five taels of silver will come out by themselves.
"Ah Qing has a clever brain, I fried the vegetables once today, and then cut the vegetables and stir-fried the vegetables and even let him wrap the pancakes." Back in his room, Butcher Zhang was in a much better mood and talked about what happened today.
Aunt Caifeng was still a little distressed about the sow, and sat wilted.
The old doctor slipped away by himself after seeing that it was okay, and Qu Xiaoqi didn't find out when he left.
"Auntie, uncle, do you think the old woman can get the five taels of silver?"
"Her family is not rich, where can she get five taels of silver." Aunt Caifeng said sullenly.
"Do you know how many acres of land their family has?" Getting the answer he wanted, Qu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.
"There's about five acres of land, what's wrong?"
"I'll discuss something with you, I want to rent that land, and the five taels of silver may be on credit now, and I will pay you back later."
Aunt Caifeng blinked her eyes and said, "You kid, if you want to use the land, you still have five acres here, what do you want to plant." ”
"You can't just go out and buy soybeans and wheat to make soy sauce."
When it comes to business, Aunt Caifeng's somewhat sad mood is much better, and she is pondering at the moment.
After a long time, Butcher Zhang spoke: "Now there is a stall, we can't be busy, this place ...... Who's going to plant it? ”
"I think it's going to hire a few people in the village who don't have land and work in the city. The price can be negotiated, and besides, there is always work to be done in the city. ”
Qu Xiaoqi was right, but this matter was quickly put down.
It is about to be a busy farming period, and the land in the hands of Butcher Zhang and Aunt Caifeng is still rented in the hands of others, and they can't mention the matter of not renting it when they are busy with farming.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, you will be scolded by those idle villagers who have nothing to do when you walk on the street.
After the braised pork offal was launched, the sales of braised pork decreased a lot, but fortunately, Qu Xiaoqi did not make a lot of it every day.
A pig's head can be sold out in about two days, and the pigs are sold out in less than the morning.
After all, pork offal is cheaper than fresh meat, and the taste is delicious, even if you usually eat it, you won't feel sorry for that copper coin.
The main customers of pork head meat are still people living in the city, who have more or less copper coins in their hands and eat pork every once in a while.
The only restaurant in the city will also order eight catties of meat every day, saying that it is better than their own cooking.
I heard that this restaurant can be opened here, and I heard that it has some connection with the above, and it seems to be the property of the monarch.
That's why I stayed in this small town for so long and didn't go out of business.
These are all rumors, and the current monarch has not responded to anything, and the restaurant has been covered with a veil of mystery.
After all, the same building and the same name are all over the country, and if it was built by someone other than the monarch, it would not be so blatant at all.
Soon, Xu Zixin came over, and at this moment his face was full of excitement.
The deed came into effect, and he asked Qu Xiaoqi to send three pigs to the city every six days, and he would send someone to pick up the goods.
The pick-up time is set by Xu Zixin, and Qu Xiaoqi needs to marinate the meat in advance to ensure that the restaurant in the capital that has just breathed will continue to sell.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't ask him how much silver a plate of meat sold for, but he heard that after the pig was sent over, the officials of the government were dispatched several times.
Because of the limited supply every day, there are always a few people who have a bad temper and come out to make trouble, and the trouble is still justified.
Why should such a delicious thing be sold in limited quantities! If you have money, why not make it!
This gave those officials a headache, but fortunately, every time they went out, there would be some wine and food for them to take back and eat slowly.
Qu Xiaoqi can probably think of what kind of level the food in the capital has become, all of which rely on the deliciousness of the ingredients.
She remembered that she had praised the dishes bought by the shopkeeper of the rice shop before, could it be that the success was due to the good choice of ingredients?
Business is a good thing, and they are now faced with the need for three pigs every six days, and they can't give birth to them in this life.
That's it, Aunt Caifeng felt even more sorry for her sow that was pregnant with cubs. After that incident, I put aside the pig's belly and checked, and there were eleven little piglets in it!
"Let's buy pigs in the village first, who has a sow with cubs? Let's go and book it first, and find some people to build some sheds after the farm is busy, and we have been busy these days. Qu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, fortunately, it didn't cost much money to build a pig shed out of wood, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
The village chief also has to say okay, Qu Xiaoqi really didn't expect that half a pig a day would be in short supply, how many people are there in this capital?
Yu Guang glanced at Ah Qing, thinking about it, there are a few more people like Ah Qing, not to mention half a head, a pig is not enough to eat.
Didn't the wild boar that I killed in the mountains eat it in just one day?
