32 Organize the digging of horseshoe

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a group of people have gathered.

Everyone was talking in whispers.

"What's the meeting the mayor is going to have? Yesterday there was a meeting to ask for rain, but today there is no letter. ”

"Yes, it's not strange for you to say, I went to the field today, passed by our ancestral hall, but I didn't see any immortals."

"Alas, I have meetings every day, and I don't do anything serious, and I still have a lot of things to do in my field."

"Isn't it? I've just had lunch, and the bowl hasn't been washed yet. ”

......

The captain carried the dry tobacco stick, walked to the highest stone without squinting and stood up, and after a brief sweep of the crowd, he knew roughly whether the people were all there or not.

He raised his hand and pressed down, and the crowd slowly fell silent.

"There are two main things to call everyone for a meeting today."

"The first one, the white-bearded old man I brought back to the village yesterday was completely a liar, and was later recognized by Lin Daniu, so our village didn't ask for rain today, as for the money that everyone raised yesterday, it will be returned to everyone in a while, and everyone will line up to receive it after the meeting...."

Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd began to stir.

"Liars? Isn't he? I will also choose a goddess. ”

"Oh my God, fortunately, we only gave the money after begging for rain, otherwise our village would have lost five taels of silver in vain."

"Hahaha, then Fangjia Village, Da'an Village, and Xiaoping Village next door to us have all begged for rain, so wouldn't they lose five taels of silver in vain, hahaha..."

"Lin Daniu? Which Lin Daniu saw through it? This is a good thing for the people in the village, and five taels of silver can buy a lot of food. ”

"There are so many people who call Da Niu in the village, but the one surnamed Lin and the one who is also called Da Niu is the one at the end of the village."

"Which one?"

"Oh, you are really, you are not a newcomer, and you are not the fiercest and most squirping girl in Lin Dazhuang's family, the dog has to take a detour when he sees it."

.....

Lin Qianqian's family was standing behind the woman who spoke, and when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes.

Is she that annoying?

The chief was smoking a cigarette on it, he was not in a hurry for this meeting, anyway, there were two things to say, if everyone likes to discuss, let them talk about it.

After the crowd's discussion gradually subsided, the lieutenant raised his hand again and pressed down.

The crowd consciously remained quiet, all looking forward to the second thing that the chief said.

"The second thing is a great news, the Lin family found a large piece of horseshoe on the mountain, that thing can be eaten, it tastes very sweet and crispy, today's meeting is mainly to organize everyone to dig up the mountain, if you dig it all out, it is estimated that there are more than 50,000 catties, and each family has more than 500 catties, which is enough for the big guys to eat for a while."

Not surprised, the crowd immediately became agitated.

"Oh my God! Something was dug up and eaten. ”

"Oh my God, five hundred catties per family, that's enough for our family to eat for several months."

"Horseshoe? What the hell is that? Can you really eat it? Isn't it poisonous? ”

"That's right, what does Lin Daniu, a teenage girl doll, know? So many old people in the village are almost unable to find anything to eat, can Lin Daniu still find something to eat? I really don't believe it, I'm afraid I'm just coaxing the chief. ”

"But don't really say it, the Lin family doesn't know what kind of shit luck they have taken during this time, I heard that they eat meat at once, and they either catch pheasants or goats when they go up the mountain every day, and it's not strange that his family can find something to eat."

.....

Li Chang had long expected that everyone would question it, so he washed and took out the few catties of horse hooves that Lin Mingle had dug home.

"This is the horseshoe, growing in the ground, in a small valley northwest of the mountain, its main pole grows like grass, people who don't know can not think of the buried things that can be eaten below, you can come up and take a little taste, you can also eat raw, boiled, stir-fried, simmered, stewed soup, how to eat, no need to go through too special treatment, just peel it, everyone comes up to get some to taste....."

Standing on a big rock, the lieutenant chief talked eloquently, and told him several ways to eat the horse's hooves that Lin Qian had told him before.

Standing below was originally a group of villagers who didn't have enough to eat and didn't have much food at home.

Everyone rushed to the front to get the horseshoe and taste it.

"Well, it's sweet, it's really delicious."

"It's so dark, it won't be poisoned, right?"

"If you're afraid of poisoning, don't eat it, give it to me."

"Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't eat it, don't grab it."

......

A few catties of horseshoe were quickly taken by everyone.

Those who have tasted it are still unsatisfied, and those who have not tasted it can only swallow their saliva secretly.

The sales technique of the chief is very good, and in modern times, he is definitely a popular anchor.

Someone asked the lieutenant in a loud voice: "Lieutenant, which valley is it in?" Hurry up and show us the way, let's go up the hill and dig it, and we can eat tonight." ”

"yes, yes, where the hell is it?"

"Since it's edible, dig it out quickly."

"Yes, yes, the west of our village is Da'an Village, if it is discovered by the people of Da'an Village, they will definitely dig it too, we must hurry up."

.....

The lieutenant raised his hand again and pressed down, and the crowd suddenly became silent.

Everyone was eager to know the valley where the horses' hooves were, for fear of missing every word that the governor had said.

The chief opened his mouth and said: "There is one thing I want to make clear in advance, that piece of horses' hooves was discovered by the Lin family, I am in charge of giving the Lin family a big head, and I will give them two thousand catties, and their family does not need to go up the mountain to dig, more than 50,000 catties are cut off from two thousand catties, which can only be a fraction, and the rest of the families will be divided according to the head." But if there is a family that does not send people to dig and wants to divide the horses' hooves, it is impossible, do you understand? ”

The crowd immediately blew up.

"Oh my God, why? The Lin family can actually divide two thousand catties?! ”

"That's right, you don't have to work outside, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Oh, my family can contribute, but the population is already small, so wouldn't it be that I can't share much with my efforts?"

.....

The lieutenant shouted a few times "quiet", and after the crowd quieted down again, he said with a tiger face: "The Lin family took away two thousand catties, that is because the horseshoe was found by them, and those who have opinions should not dig it, and there is manpower to be contributed by each family, all those who are over twelve years old and under sixty years old are considered laborers, and they must go up the mountain to dig, and the horseshoes dug out are concentrated and distributed according to the head of the village. ”

The villagers were immediately shocked.

Although the lieutenant is usually easy to speak, once he is more serious, there is no room for negotiation at all.

Everyone only dared to talk in a whisper, and did not dare to protest loudly at all.

Wu Dahu suffered the loss of the Lin family at noon, how could he let the Lin family take advantage of such a big advantage.
