Zhang Xiaoxue and her eldest brother Yuan Guang talked for a while, then went to the kitchen to take a look, and found that grandma had come and was helping Zhang's mother in the kitchen.

Basically, the meals have been prepared, and there is no need for her to stay to help, Zhang Xiaoxue said hello to Zhang's mother, she wants to go to the wasteland to see the progress of the wasteland reclamation, and by the way, call her father home for dinner, and prepare to send lunch to those slaves.

"Look at my memory, I forgot all the food that the slaves ate, and I didn't prepare it for them, or else I would have given them some pancakes to eat, and seeing that they were so thin that they would have not eaten enough.

Today is the first meal they have at home, so let's eat two pancakes for each of them, and they don't have the strength to work, by the way, why don't you take a little more sauce and go to the backyard to pluck more green onions, so that their mouths can be a little salty. ”

Mother Zhang heard that Zhang Xiaoxue was going to deliver lunch to those slaves, only to think that she had not prepared it at all, and after thinking about it for a while, she set the meal for those slaves to eat at noon today.

When I think of that large group of slaves, the food they eat every day, even if it is made to drink it often, is not a small amount, but fortunately, their family now has this business, and there is still a lot of food in the family, but I am not worried that I will not be able to support them.

"Hee-hee, mother, you don't have to worry about the food of those slaves, I have prepared their meals, I think so, you see that they are all thin and weak, and they must not be as strong as a strong laborer when they work.

I want to give them a few more full meals, and raise their bodies, so that each slave can be used as a strong laborer, and the five female slaves that my mother has just brought back, and my mother has arranged for them to learn to make pancakes in the workshop, and I will take them to the wasteland now, and eat with the male slaves, and let them come back after eating. ”

When Zhang Xiaoxue arrived at the workshop, she saw that the five female slaves were very serious, learning to make pancakes next to a worker, of course, they were just looking with their eyes, but they didn't get the opportunity to practice.

Because these pancake workers, they are all piece-rated, if these female slaves are allowed to learn and practice, it will affect their output, and no one is willing to waste time, so they can only wait for them to go back to eat at noon, so that these five female slaves can try.

Zhang Xiaoxue called the five female slaves, and happened to see that the male slaves who knew carpenter skills brought back by the second brother had already built another shed that was larger than the current shed, which was very fast, and they happened to go up to the wasteland to eat together.

Zhang Xiaoxue led the slaves all the way to the wasteland, and on the way, she met some villagers who went home to eat, and they all asked Zhang Xiaoxue what she was doing with these slaves when it was time to eat?

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxue reply that he was taking these slaves to the wasteland to have lunch with the original slaves, these villagers couldn't help but lie in their hearts, not to mention the dozen or so slaves here, it turned out that there were more slaves on the other side of the wasteland, and how much food did they have to fill for so many slaves to eat?

Originally, I was very envious of the villagers who had a lot of slaves in Zhang Zhenhe's family, but thinking about their own situation, they were not so envious, at least this slave was not easy to feed, even if these slaves were not fed, the food consumed every day was not a small amount.

In the countryside, ordinary families can eat a full meal, it is a very good family, and there is really no way to afford to keep slaves in captivity, even if there is no state regulation, only nobles and wealthy families can keep slaves in captivity, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The villagers sighed again and again in their hearts, it seems that the life of Zhang Zhenhe's family is really going on, and they can raise so many slaves without blinking.

When Zhang Xiaoxue arrived at the wasteland, he saw that although there were so many slaves working, the progress of the wasteland reclamation was not much, and even one-tenth of the work in the middle of the morning was not completed, which was much worse than Zhang Xiaoxue's original expectation, probably because of the overgrown weeds on the wasteland, and some rocks mixed in it, and it was also very troublesome to pick up.

"Dad, it's almost noon, let's go home for dinner, my mother has a table of good dishes at noon today, and grandpa, grandma and aunt are also there. With so many slaves working, Zhang Xiaoxue saw that her father was not idle, but was picking up some small stones that had leaked from the ground.

"Haha! You just came back today, we have to have a good meal, get together as a family, and listen to Xue'er talk about what kind of prosperous scene the big city is. ”

Father Zhang responded with a smile, and then looked at the slaves who were not idle on the wasteland and had been busy, and was very satisfied, these slaves brought back by Xue'er were quite capable.

"These slaves brought back by Xue'er are quite capable, none of them are cheating, the speed of reclamation of wasteland is still quite fast, one-tenth of it has been done in half of the morning, I believe that in two days, it is estimated that all the 100 acres of wasteland will be reclaimed.

This reclamation of wasteland is not light, we have to make a lot of effort, we still have to prepare some dry meals for them, so that they can have a full meal, so that they can work more vigorously, I don't know if your mother has prepared it, if not, wait for the meal to make your mother a little tired, and cook a dry meal for these slaves. ”

"Haha, these slaves' meals don't have to worry about their fathers, I have prepared them, and I have brought them, the food will definitely satisfy them, Dad is right, let them eat enough, so that they have the strength to work, and their meals in the future do not need to be tired, just let them make their own food." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue felt that her parents were very kind-hearted, and she didn't dislike these slaves at all, and she wanted them to eat more so that they could work hard.

Zhang Xiaoxue said as she took out a long wooden table from the space ring, took out two large wooden basins to serve vegetables, took out a cover curtain, put on the steamed two-sided steamed buns, and also took out the prepared pork belly stewed potato pieces and put them in the two wooden basins that were taken out.

The stainless steel tableware that had just been drawn was taken out of the warehouse of the farm with his mind, and the stainless steel tableware was placed in a stainless steel frame, divided into two grids, one was a neat stainless steel plate, and the other was stacked with stainless steel bowls and stainless steel chopsticks.
