Chapter 50: Eating a Big Meal?
Seeing this courtyard with an earthen wall more than one person high, although Ouyang's old lady Chen Yanhua was still drooping, she didn't stop under her feet.
Walking into the courtyard, Chen Yanhua immediately felt that this courtyard was much better than the courtyard where the two white-eyed wolf things lived.
After looking at it carefully, she thought it was good, and then pulled her son Ouyang Hui and said, "Hui'er, just this courtyard, let's live in this courtyard." I looked at it, there are five rooms, and there are also kitchen utility rooms, which is good. ”
Ouyang Hui, who has always been "obedient", flashed his eyes, and then looked at Li Zi and said, "This steward, our family lives here, and we are tired of taking care of things." ”
Li Zi still looked at the crowd with a serious expression: "Now that you have all chosen the courtyard, then I will talk about the rules here." ”
"First of all, I see that you are a family, and you have not yet separated, but we are not as good as the capital here, and there are two or three courtyards."
As he spoke, he looked at the group of the Ouyang family and continued: "Now that you have chosen three courtyards, give the money to live in the courtyard first. The first two courtyards are fifty taels each, and this one is one hundred taels. Lord Ouyang, who of you will pay for this money? ”
Li Zi's sentence "Lord Ouyang", I don't know if it was Ouyang Hong or Ouyang Hui who shouted, but before the two of them could speak, Ouyang's old lady Chen Yanhua spoke up: "Why do you still want to give money?" Shouldn't we be given a place to stay? ”
Hearing this, Li Zi and the three guards who came with him all sneered, and then one of the guards said, "Arrange a place to live?" You old lady thinks pretty beautifully. ”
"Let me tell you, just your yard, it took a month to build the big guy's manuscript, and you want to live in vain? Beautiful you. Either give money, or build your own yard and go. ”
Li Zi's tone is not very gentle, this is all in the place of exile, what kind of score is there, what kind of big avatar is pretended, I have never seen such a person who does not know his situation.
Seeing that Li Zi's tone was very bad, Ouyang Hui hurriedly said, "Look at the steward, how can you not give it." My mother was a little delirious because of the sudden upheaval, and she asked the steward to take care of her. ”
Saying that, Ouyang Hui took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, took one and handed it to Li Zi: "Steward, this is the silver money of our courtyard, you keep it." ”
Li Zihu looked at Ouyang Hui suspiciously: "Didn't Lord Ouyang pay for the silver money in those two courtyards?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Jin said loudly: "Lord Ouyang is really calculating, the old lady took all our silver money, but did not accept Lord Ouyang's silver money. ”
"I remember, the money that Lord Ouyang said was used to come here to make some money, what's the matter? My third brother and I are in two rooms, but we can't do it? Don't need a yard to live in? ”
Ouyang Qin also echoed: "Since Lord Ouyang is unwilling, then please ask the old lady to return our silver money to us, and divide the family by the way." ”
Li Zi thought that Ouyang Hui wanted to make himself cheaper for him, but he didn't expect that there would be such a show, so he didn't take the silver ticket but stood aside and watched the excitement.
Hearing that she wanted to return the money, the old lady Chen Yanhua was not happy, and immediately shouted loudly: "Rebel! You two rebels! When did I take your money, old lady? ”
"Huh! The old lady is really an old lady, and her ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is different. I remember vividly that the old lady not only took our money, but also the money from the children. ”
As soon as Xu Yuzhu's words came out, Jiang Yun answered: "That's not it." All the copper plates on my Tao'er have been given to the old lady. ”
Li Zi looked at it with a sigh, no wonder the general asked himself to help him, these two sons are not as favored as one, could it be that this is a common problem of large families?
Just as he was thinking about it, some people gathered around one after another, although they were all prisoners, but Li Zi was not too strict, as long as they didn't have bad intentions, they did their duty, Li Zi allowed them to move in the Yushan range.
Maybe the movement here is a bit big, and it actually attracts them.
Looking at the people gathered, Li Zi didn't speak, but looked at the third-grade master, wanting to see what the big man would do.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Ouyang Hong looked at Ouyang Hui with a dark face and said, "Give them together, this is not separated yet, what is the fuss!" ”
Seeing that his father, who had never been very careful, spoke out with a dark face, Ouyang Hui had to take a silver ticket of one hundred taels again and prepare two to give to Li Zi together.
Li Zi, who was looking at the excitement, did not reach out to take it, but looked at Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Hui father and son and asked: "Two Ouyang adults, since you have come to Yushan, you have to contribute to the construction of Yushan, but you don't have any tools, how do you plan to contribute?" ”
The old lady Chen Yanhua wanted to say something with her lips, but she was pulled by Ouyang Hong on the side, glared at her and then looked at Li Zi: "Steward Li, we didn't know the situation in Yushan when we first arrived, and we asked Steward Li for guidance." ”
Li Zi looked at Ouyang Hui quietly, and then said, "Boss Ouyang's words are serious. I didn't have any advice, but I just wanted to ask this tool for clearing wasteland and farming, whether Ouyang's family was going to buy or rent? ”
"Can you rent it?"
"Yes. Hoes, shovels, sickles, baskets, pots and pans, kitchen knives and machetes, everything, but the prices are different, I don't know what Boss Ouyang thinks? ”
Ouyang Hong then remembered what Meng Yi had said to them when he was in the nameless town before, but it was useless to regret it at this time, so he had to walk into the bright pit of Li Zi at this time.
Seeing Ouyang Hong nodded, Li Zi reached out and took the two silver tickets handed over by Ouyang Hui, and said, "You follow me to the warehouse to see all kinds of tools, whether you buy or rent, it all depends on your meaning." ”
Half an hour later, except for the back basket, the rest of the various tools and objects were bought in two copies, one for Ouyang Hui and one for Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin.
After buying some more rations, after dividing the two rooms and the third room with ten catties of black noodles and five catties of cornmeal, the group went back separately.
Although Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin got some things, they also signed an unequal treaty, that is, they had to go to the big house every day to cook, and they also worked together to open up wasteland and farm land.
It's just three meals a day, and even they have to be counted in the wasteland farming, which makes Li Zi feel concerned.
Looking at those young children, Li Zi felt that even if he didn't have the entrustment of General Meng, he would take care of one or two more.
On the other side, Ouyang Jin's family, who returned to their yard, first closed the courtyard door, and then Ouyang Jin put the tools and objects in the utility room, and then walked into the stove room.
I saw Xu Yuzhu and Xiao Philo sitting on the stool at the table, looking at the white-flour steamed buns and buns on the table, as well as two plates of meaty dishes.
The father and son looked at each other, then looked at the courtyard door to make sure it was closed, and then walked into the stove room and closed the half-covered stove door.
Old Ouyang Mingli looked at the buns and meat dishes on the table with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, are we going to have a big meal?" ”
