Chapter 13 The Fierce Clansmen
A bowl of wine was drunk into the stomach, and everyone shouted: good wine.
Only Li Chaosheng's brows furrowed slightly, this wine is really second.
The wine drunk in this era is rice wine, the degree is higher than beer, lower than liquor, pure grain brewing, sweet taste, it is not difficult to drink, but Li Chaosheng drank this wine in his mouth is really not good, the first team of couples to make wine, I don't know which step is wrong, the taste of the wine is slightly sour.
Secondly, due to the tools, or in order to produce more wine, the wine generally contains grain residues, although it is very small, but it can be clearly felt in the mouth.
This makes people very uncomfortable, not to mention that the taste is compared to good wine, even a big green stick for three or four yuan is better than this.
However, Li Chaosheng felt that it was not good, but everyone else felt that this wine was already top-notch, if you don't mix it with water, what else do you need a bicycle, this is also stained with Li Chaosheng's light, otherwise it would be impossible to drink such a good wine in this life.
"Come on, let's salute Brother Chaosheng for a cup, let's do Brother Chaosheng a little favor, I didn't expect Brother Chaosheng to be so good to us, please eat meat and drink wine, we have all written down this kindness, and we will be able to use our place in the future, Brother Chaosheng said a word, we are not ambiguous."
"Yes, by no means."
The others echoed loudly.
"Okay, Brother Jing Chaosheng."
Saying that, a group of people took the wine bowl and saluted Li Chaosheng together, Li Chaosheng accompanied everyone to have a drink, seeing that the time was almost up, now the atmosphere is open, and everyone has not drunk much, it is a good time to talk about things.
"Thank you, thank you, brothers, in fact, I really need to ask the big guy for help, I don't know if the big guy is willing to contribute?"
Li Chaosheng said, and after hearing this, everyone patted their chests and said, "Brother Chaosheng said, what are you busy with." ”
Li Chaosheng looked at everyone at this time: "I brought a batch of things overseas and wanted to sell them, but this Lantian County is mixed, there are too many bandits and hooligans, I am afraid that it will not be safe alone, I want to ask everyone to go to Lantian County with me, strong and powerful, the province has been robbed by bandits." ”
"Hey~ What a big deal should we do, aren't we just going to the city together? We've got a favor. ”
"Yes, we helped, who dares to hit Brother Chaosheng's attention, we will fight with them."
"That's right, fight with them."
……
Everyone was gossiping, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaolong, among so many people, Li Chaosheng still trusts this direct ancestor, after all, there are records in the genealogy, and the character is still guaranteed.
Li Chaolong nodded and said: "Chaosheng, don't worry about safety, our Li family in Tanggou Town is really not afraid of anyone, our brothers are all masters who dare to fight and kill, and the bandits nearby don't dare to come to us to collect grain." ”
Bandits don't dare to go here to collect grain?
Li Chaosheng blinked, true or false, how do you feel that the ancestor is bragging?
In fact, Li Chaolong really didn't brag, Tanggou Town is indeed a place where bandits are unwilling to provoke easily, first of all, this place is too poor, poorer than the neighbors, the land here is very poor, the grain production is very low, except for paying public grain, the rest of the people are barely living.
The common people can't eat enough, the bandits are still coming to rob, the people are really playing with you, and the bandits of this era have a few more broken knives than the peasants, and the combat effectiveness is really not too strong.
The few wealthy villages and towns nearby are still soft persimmons, why not grab them?
The second is the combat effectiveness of the people in the village, the people in the village are fighting for their lives with the sky, and they will starve to death if they don't make trouble, so every summer when they irrigate the farmland, in order to compete for the water source, the people in the village will have a large-scale fight with the neighboring villages, and the death of a person is not called a problem, so a large-scale battle is held every year, which leads to the rich combat experience of the young and strong people in the village.
And usually the people in the village will also discuss how to fight, after all, winning means that the farmland they planted can be fully irrigated, and the harvest is good, which is related to direct interests, and everyone is very serious in training.
This led to the villagers' combat effectiveness is very strong, if there is no such foundation, the ten years of Chongzhen recorded on the genealogy, Sun Chuanting's soldiers have passed through Lantian, and Li Chaolong led the villagers to kill Sun Chuanting's soldiers, which is not realistic.
Everyone agreed, and Li Chaosheng said to Li Chaolong at this time: "Okay, cousin, you have to worry about this matter, gather in my courtyard tomorrow morning, call some brave brothers who fight, accompany me into the city, let's not let the big guys help in vain, this trip is ten catties of flour per person." ”
"Ten pounds!!"
Hearing this, let alone the people who sat again, even Li Chaolong's eyes widened, good guy, I call you a good guy, ten catties of white flour mixed with a little more wild vegetables, leaves or something, it's enough to eat for half a month.
"Chaosheng, is this ten catties of flour too much, in fact, one or two catties is enough."
Li Chaolong was still facing Li Chaosheng, but Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "Brothers, it's not easy to work, just ten catties." ”
"It's done, it's done."
Li Chaolong opened his mouth and didn't say much, after all, it can be seen from this cousin's shot that he is not a person who is poor in money.
"Okay, that's it, I'll wait for the big guy tomorrow morning, by the way, cousin, hire a few carriages, so many people can't walk."
"yes, I see."
Li Chaolong didn't know why he refused at this time, he agreed one by one, and just after speaking, the remaining chickens came up, some roasted, some stewed, and put them up one by one, Li Chaosheng saw that everyone was very happy to eat, and whispered a few words to Wang Laosi, Wang Laosi heard this and said with a bitter face: "Brother Chaosheng, there are not so many." ”
"How many do you have?"
"There are only two left, and that's all the chickens we've had this month."
"Well, it's okay, roast it for me, and then wrap it in lotus leaves."
"Yes, yes."
……
After eating a meal, ten people, ten chickens, two elbows, and a fish, Li Er was stunned and asked for two catties of cakes, plus two jars of wine, and finally everyone was able to eat.
One by one, the straw ropes that were strangled on the belly were untied, and finally the stomach was full, and I knew what it was like to eat it.
The big guy packed up and got up, and Li Chaosheng asked Wang Laosi to take the two packets of roast chicken at this time, and paid one or two or four dollars of silver for the meal.
This is a lot of money for everyone, you must know that you can buy two stones of rice for one or two taels of silver in the Wanli years, 188 kilograms, 377 kilograms of rice, and save enough food for a family to eat for a year.
Of course, it is now the period of the Xiaoice River, grain production has decreased, and grain prices have become expensive, but even if such a silver or two stones of rice must be easy, it is also half a year's grain for ordinary people.
One meal eats more than half a year's food in other people's homes, it's really not a simple word to describe, this brother is estimated to be able to blow when he sees people in the future: Hey, have you eaten meat and eaten enough?
