Chapter 6: Childe is a big foodie 6

She took out a sharp dagger from her quilt pocket, walked over to the boar, and quickly cut it down, and in a few moments the boar, which had been huge, was divided.

"Ah Yi, let's transport this wild boar back first and then harvest the rest of the grain, otherwise it will be difficult to explain these wild boars if they are seen."

Wen Xuanyi nodded, and followed Zhou Yi back home with a load of wild boar.

It's also thanks to the fact that he has been working in the field a lot during this time, so he didn't make a joke about being pressed down. On Monday, it was a moment of relaxation from start to finish.

The people who were sent by the village chief to monitor Zhou Zhou and Wen Xuanyi did not find the wild boar because of the distance. The man only saw that Zhou Zhou and Wen Xuanyi were picking up something in the field, and then went home with the bag on their backs.

The people who were watching them on Monday hurried to the village chief's house to tell them what had happened, and only after receiving the village chief's reward did they leave happily.

The village chief looked in the direction of the Zhou family, touched his beard, and laughed slowly......

The people of Zhoujia Village harvested all the grain for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, they had to go to the village chief's house to serve the grain required by the imperial court.

On the fourth day, the courtyard of Zhou Cai's house, the village head of Zhoujia Village, was already crowded with people, and each family carried a bag of grain.

Zhou Zhou and Wen Xuanyi were also lining up with a bag each, and the people around them knew about their bet with the village chief, and they refused to leave.

Zhou Zhou and Wen Xuanyi knew that the people around them wanted to see the excitement, so they didn't pay attention to their eyes, and they lined up honestly, waiting for the food to be served like everyone else.

Soon, it was the team's turn for Monday.

Zhou Cai, who was sitting behind the desk, glanced at the bag in Monday's hand, and after signaling to the person weighing the thing, he asked Monday to carry the bag over and weigh it.

Seeing Zhou Zhou's relaxed face carrying the bag, Zhou Cai thought that she was just bluffing, so a smug smile appeared on his face, but the next moment, after seeing the number on the scale, he couldn't smile anymore.

"Impossible! How can you have fifty pounds of grain? ”

Zhou Cai stood up and ran to the side of the big weigh, looked and looked, and even reached out to lift the bag on the scale, but the weight in his hand told him that there was indeed a weight of fifty catties here.

How can it be? How could this be? Obviously, he had already sent someone to destroy the grain in Monday's field, and even blocked the channel for Monday to buy food, it was impossible for her to get so much food in such a short time! It must be fake!

Zhou Cai thought of this, ignoring the eyes of the people around him, and directly untied the rope and opened the bag.

The people around him, like Zhou Cai, stretched out their heads to look at the contents of the bag, only to find that the bag was not wheat or rice, but something round and slippery that they had never seen before.

After Zhou Cai saw that the contents of the bag were really not food, the whole person became excited.

He took out a bag of things and directly questioned Monday: "Okay, you! I actually used such a thing to top up the number! Do you know that you are guilty of deceit! ”

Seeing such a situation, the people around him suddenly discussed it.

"O sin of deceit! That's going to be beheaded! I didn't expect the girl to be so bold this week, and if she wants to get by, she has to find the same thing. This head is so big, you can't be confused at first glance! ”

"That's it! Now Zhou girl is really miserable! If you had known that this would be the case, it would have been better to marry Zhou Li directly, at least follow Zhou Li to eat and drink! ”

"You can't say that, it's normal for Zhou Yatou not to admit her fate, after all, Zhou Li is indeed not a good person......"

The people around had a lot of discussions about Monday, but Wen Xuanyi always stood next to Monday and did not waver.

He was looking at the woman at the center of criticism at this time, seeing that she didn't care about the words of the people around her, nor did she care about Zhou Cai's questioning, she just stood there calmly and calmly, as if any difficult thing could not make her shake in the slightest, which shocked his heart, and a wave of admiration surged into his heart.

Monday waited until the discussion of the people around him was a little quieter, and then slowly replied to Zhou Cai's words: "May I ask the village chief, which rule of the imperial court should not include potatoes in the grain offered?" ”

Potato?

Zhou Cai's heart jumped, thinking that a few days ago, there were indeed potatoes in the newly issued grain collection list issued by the imperial court. But he hadn't seen this thing at all, but he heard that this potato was only available in the place where the capital tried to grow it, where did he get the potatoes this Monday? Or is this not a potato at all?

Yes, yes! It's just a country girl this Monday, how can I know about the things in the capital? Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to grow it. So the contents of this bag are definitely not potatoes, but something she uses to deceive people!

After Zhou Cai thought about it, he directly threw out the things in his hand: "It's good that you dare to quibble on Monday!" You say it's a potato, it's a potato? What evidence is there to prove it? ”

Since Zhou Zhou dared to use potatoes as food to supply the imperial court, of course he was completely prepared, so after Zhou Cai finished speaking, he turned around and invited the people standing outside the crowd in.

Zhou Cai's legs weakened as soon as he saw the person who was invited in by Monday, if it weren't for the eldest son next to him supporting him, I am afraid he would have knelt down at this time.

"The king... Lord Wang, why are you here? ”

Lord Wang didn't speak, just bent down and glanced at the potatoes in the bag first, then looked for the number to weigh, and then nodded and looked at Zhou Zhou on the side: "Miss Zhou, thank you so much for reporting this potato and planting method to the imperial court, and the old man thanked you on behalf of all the people in Daqi who couldn't eat enough." After the old man goes to Beijing to see the emperor, he will definitely ask the emperor for a reward for you. ”

"Then the little woman will thank you first."

Monday behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly, which made Lord Wang nod in satisfaction. After hearing this, Zhou Cai's face on the side had turned dead gray.

After Lord Wang finished talking to Monday, he nodded at Wen Xuanyi, and finally looked at Zhou Cai, who had a pale face: "Zhou Cai, are you guilty?" ”

Zhou Cai's legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground: "The adult is angry, and the villain doesn't know what he did wrong?" If it was just now, the villain would have been like that for the sake of the court! ”

"So far, you still don't know what you're doing wrong?"

Seeing that Zhou Cai gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, Lord Wang shook his head in disappointment: "This official is so disappointed in you!" For so many years, you have relied on your status as the village chief to do evil and bully men and women, and even privately swallowed the grain for the imperial court, which is a great crime! Come! Escort Zhou Cai back to the yamen! ”

"Nope! No! Spare your life! Spare your life! ”
