Chapter XXXIII
Zhu Minfan's exit, the clans who ate the banquet became even more unscrupulous, and some anxious clans simply didn't even use chopsticks, and threw them directly to the side, rolled up their sleeves and scrambled for them.
Before a roast chicken that came up had just fallen on the table, the roast chicken was gone in the blink of an eye under the scramble of several clansmen, and the smile that was grabbed opened one by one, and the one who didn't grab it couldn't help but scold a few words, and continued to roll his eyes and stare at the next dish, you must know that today's meal is not common, and it is only like this a few times a year, why not eat a good meal, and then bring some back to the family Isn't it a big loss?
Looking at this scene, Zhu Shencone also couldn't cry or laugh, because everyone was a clan, and he was considered a person with status, but the scene reminded him of the scene of eating in the countryside before.
If the clan members all carried steel pots and plastic bags in their hands, it would be no different from the feasts he saw. But even so, this is not much better, let's just say that he has this table, Zhu Shencone didn't eat a few bites at all, and patronized to watch several clans at the same table serve a dish and then grab a dish.
Where is there still a little bit of the clan like this? It's clearly a group of hungry wolves running out of the mountains! Shaking his head secretly, Zhu Shencone simply didn't interfere, just drank wine, ate a few bites of stir-fried vegetables at random, and let them toss.
It only takes a stick of incense, and when all the dishes are finished, except for some dishes that are not easy to take, the rest of the dishes are long gone. Then, several clans poured the residual wine on the table into the wine gourd they brought, and then patted their butts with the chicken, duck, fish and meat they had just grabbed in their arms and withdrew.
Zhu Shencone is about the same, the table is almost empty, and there is no point in sitting down again. He got up with a smile and asked Zhu Minqi if they still stayed? If you don't stay, you'll leave.
Zhu Minqi also worked hard for the sake of the old lady and the children at home, since everyone is like this, he has no worries, he has a bulging in his arms, and his face is even more smiling.
Hearing Zhu Shencone ask, Zhu Mincone immediately said to leave, and before leaving, he didn't forget to bring the remaining steamed buns, put them in his arms and left the table with Zhu Shencone.
As soon as they left, Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Qiuqi also got up and patted their butts and left, and the four of them left the General's Mansion together, and when they arrived outside the General's Mansion, they looked back at the General's Mansion, and then looked at the things they were carrying in their arms, and immediately laughed.
"Sixth uncle, you take this." After walking out for a while, Zhu Minqi called out to Zhu Shencone, took out half a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper from his arms, and stuffed it into Zhu Shencone's arms.
When they grabbed things just now, Zhu Shencone didn't do much, and deliberately helped Zhu Minqi stop other clans from fighting, so Zhu Mintong's gain today is not small. Coupled with those snacks before, Zhu Minqi was very grateful to Zhu Shenchong, and when he got outside, he took the initiative to take out the half roast chicken he had snatched and gave it to Zhu Shenchong.
"Uncle, you can also take this and bring it back to my little aunt to taste." Zhu Qiuqi happily took out half of the hoof and stuffed it into Zhu Shen's arms.
Their actions made Zhu Shencone quite moved, you must know that neither Zhu Minqi nor Zhu Qiuqi's family is rich, but even so, they still think about themselves, although these foods are nothing, but they finally grabbed them just now, take them back and save some food, and they can smell meat for several days.
"Sixth uncle, you take it, just now you patronized to help us a few cover, this empty-handed back is not always a problem, finally come to a trip, you have to bring some back, you also take this gourd wine, I don't have the fifth brother and the little eighteen Lisuo, the good things are all robbed for them, and there is only this little wine left to be so-so." Zhu Minfeng happily stuffed his wine gourd to Zhu Shenchong, and said with a smile while stuffing.
Looking at these things, Zhu Shencone sighed in his heart, these two nephews and nephews are really good to him, and it is not easy for the clan to do this, after all, their lives are not very easy.
But then again, if you take them yourself, there will be less, not to mention don't look at the Qingping of Zhu Shen's family, but in fact, he is really not bad for money. In the past two years of smuggling salt, Zhu Shencone has accumulated quite a lot, these things are important to them, but they don't matter to themselves.
After some excuses, seeing that they insisted, Zhu Shencone could only accept the wine, as for the roast chicken and the hoof, he barely took half of each, and the other half was returned to Zhu Minqi and Zhu Qiuqi.
"Uncle, what are you ......?"
"In the past two years, the situation at home has been much better than before, at least not as difficult as you imagined. I'll take half of these things back to my sister-in-law and Qiao'er to taste, and you should take back the more. I'm not welcome to this wine, and besides, I can't divide the wine, so I want it all. Zhu Shencone said with a smile.
"Uncle, I remember that your family doesn't have much property, why is life better?" Zhu Qiuqi said this in wonder, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he approached Zhu Shencone and lowered his voice: "Uncle, you tell me quietly, are you looking for this way to make a fortune?" If you really have a way, can you take care of my nephew and grandson? Hey, it's getting more and more difficult to live these years, look at my fifth uncle, it's really not easy for this family to live like this. ”
"Sixth uncle, Xiao Eighteen's words are rough, but this principle is correct." Zhu Minfeng is also a smart person, and when he heard Zhu Qiuqi say this, he suddenly came back to his senses, he pulled Zhu Shencone and whispered: "There are no outsiders here, and we are all our own people, Sixth Uncle, if you really have any way to get money, you might as well take care of a few of us." You can rest assured that no matter what you do, we promise not to say anything. ”
Saying that, Zhu Minfeng had anticipation in his eyes, and even the honest Zhu Minfeng looked at Zhu Shencone with a blank eye. The lives of several of them are not very good, although Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Qiuqi's family are better than Zhu Minqi's family, but they are also limited.
It's nice to have a meal like today's two or three times a year. But even if it did, it was only barely improved for a few days. Most of the time, the family often eats bran vegetables, and even eats the last meal without the next meal, and such a poor life has long been enough.
Zhu Shencone didn't expect that his casual words would lead to such a result, listening to them say this, and then looking at the three pairs of eyes looking at him, at this moment Zhu Shencone couldn't wait to raise his hand to give himself a mouth.
What's wrong with you? It's only been a good day for a long time, and the necessary vigilance has been lost? According to Zhu Shencone's original idea, today's banquet occasion has to pretend to be the same as everyone else.
Just because he saw the honest Zhu Minqi, and then thought of the difficult life of his family, and thus thought of the scene when he had just carried this family, Zhu Shencone relented for a while and did not do so, but helped them.
If you knew it was going to be like this, you shouldn't have done it. Now it's okay, I actually showed Xiao Eighteen, the ghost-eyed guy, Zhu Minfeng, the eldest nephew, is also a smart person, and they understand it in a blink of an eye, they are now sure that Zhu Shencone has other ways to get money besides Yulu, and they want to pull them by themselves.
At present, this scene made Zhu Shencone not know how to solve it for a while, if it was just a few perfunctory words, it would definitely not work to find a reason to send them away. Everyone is not stupid, since they have all seen it, Zhu Shencone still denies it, so it is equivalent to not treating them as his own.
Maybe Zhu Shencone can send them away today, but what about the future? Since they have guessed something, once they deny it, it is tantamount to offending people, and then Zhu Shencone has to spend energy to guard against them. Several of them are poor and afraid, and their eyes can be red when they see silver, and who knows what they will do in order to find a chance to make money?
Even if he doesn't publicize it and follows the back of his ass every day, can Zhu Shencone still tie up a few of them? If that's the case, Zhu Shencone won't have to do anything in the future, just watch out for a few of them from morning to night, this will definitely not work.
But if you tell them a few about smuggling salt, you won't be able to pull them along with you. Let's not talk about whether a few of them are really reliable, even if they are relatives of the clan, ordinary things are forgotten, it is impossible for an outsider Zhu Shencone to use such a big matter.
Besides, although the profits of smuggling salt are large, Zhu Shencheng's business is far inferior to those big merchants, and the limited conditions are also hard money. Inexplicably, there are more money for these three families, not to mention whether they can help themselves, no matter how much money is shared, it is impossible to say less money, so what should Zhu Shencone do himself?
This can't be done, that's not possible, for a while, Zhu Shencone was also a little blind, and in addition to scolding, he also warned himself that the mistakes he made today were careless, and he must not make them again in the future.
