Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 720 Military Supplies (3)
Qingli interrogated them one by one, and if they met those who faltered in their speech and flickered in their eyes, such people must be eliminated, and those with hatred in their eyes must also be eliminated.It is very unfortunate to be sold by parents, but if you live with hatred, it is easy to be distorted. Generally, this kind of person will have a strong jealousy and will not obey discipline. To find a servant, as long as you are honest, hardworking and obedient.

Qingli's side has passed the primary selection, and Nanny Yu will screen again. In the end, Mai Dong will be the gatekeeper. Gui Luocha has a way of insight into people's hearts. From the original 50 people, 30 people will be selected in the end, twenty males and ten females. .

Several of the men are disabled, some have slight disabilities in their left hands, and some have lameness, as long as it doesn’t affect their normal walking. Qingli decided to keep such people. Anyway, the family bought them mainly for running errands. Prepare donkey carts and carriages, and you don't need to walk.

Among the women, there are only two girls in their teens, and the rest are elderly aunts and old women. Such people are more meticulous in their work.

"Miss, these people's deeds of sale are all here, when do you think you will take them away?"

Yaren was respectful on the surface, but in fact he was happy in his heart. The disabled people looked at them pitifully at the beginning, because they were not able to be strong men, they were kicked out by their family members, and he felt compassionate, so he agreed to take them in, and these three old men, It's all children who don't want to take care of the elderly. Alas, he was agitated at the time, thinking that it's not bad for a few mouthfuls of food anyway, so he also took it in. He couldn't change hands for three or four years. Later, he also accepted his fate. They are endowed with retirement, these people are also good, they have always been grateful, rushing to do work, and sometimes they can help the dental office to run errands and deliver goods, so it is quite reluctant to just change hands, but he knows, follow Mo Miss is better than following him.

"I'll give you money, and each of you will make a few sets of new clothes and shoes, and I'll pick them up in two days."

Qingli threw a piece of silver to the person in charge among them, and she could afford to hire the servants, so she didn't let the servants wear patched clothes, even if it was coarse cloth, it didn't cost much money. I didn't put anything in the warehouse, so I can't let the servants live in it for the time being.

After the busy work, I bought the servants, and the delay was already at noon.The sun was baking on the body, making it suffocating, hot and stuffy, the leaves rolled together listlessly, and the fat caterpillar lay on the leaves lazily pretending to be dead, motionless.

Qingli wiped the perspiration from her forehead, got into the carriage, Yaren sat next to the coachman, and drove westward all the way to a nearby village.There was no ice basin in the carriage, so Mammy Yu kept drinking water to quench her thirst, muttering, "Pingyang is so strange, it's so hot in the daytime, and this old slave still feels a bit cool when he sleeps at night."

"Well, this climate is more obvious in autumn."

Once it’s autumn, you have to add an extra layer of clothes in the morning and evening. It’s hotter than summer at noon, and the temperature difference is huge. The climate is milder, Muyang City in the south is good, the vegetation there is evergreen all year round, and the summer is not so hot.

Nanny Yu nodded resignedly. She has old arms and legs, and her bones are not bad. She has been here for two days, and she is slowly getting used to it. But she can't get used to the food. In the capital, she mainly eats rice. Bian Duo is a noodle shop, and they like pasta, and they must put pepper and chili in the dishes, which are both numbing and spicy, and have a strong taste, so salt is the same as not needing silver.

After noon, everyone had arrived at the small villages around Pingyang City. There was a large vacant courtyard here, which was separated by itself. Hundreds of pigs were walking leisurely without looking sideways.

"Miss Mo, there are a total of [-] pigs, all of which are here."

The yard is usually filled with collected livestock, and there is no stable, so the smell is not very good when you enter the house. These pigs don’t sleep when they are full, and their moods are wandering, not knowing their fate to be slaughtered.

"Never have a sick pig."

After Qingli emphasized, she quickly exited the yard. Hundreds of pigs were eating and drinking in the yard, and the smell was too bad. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and fled quickly.

Yaren rubbed his nose and felt that it was a mistake to bring such a noble lady here. He told the aunts working in the yard to keep an eye on the pigs, so he withdrew.

The butchers are all from the nearest village. There are more than ten people in total, and they have all gathered here to watch eagerly. In the past, when people slaughtered pigs, they usually thanked them with ten catties of pork, and the maximum was only two hundred cash. This time, Qingli Inviting people, in order to make them take their heart, everyone promised to give half a tael of silver, that's five hundred big sons, each person can have more than ten heads to slaughter, and the total is five or six taels of silver.

"Miss, if you have any request, just say it! My second child, Wu, has been killing pigs for more than 20 years, and there is nothing I can't do!"

A big man came out in front, his face was black and red, and he looked about 40 years old. He patted his chest, and the other butchers nodded in agreement. It seemed that he was the leader.

"Well, it's not a special request."

Qingli explained to them that pig blood should not be wasted, and some pig offal such as pig intestines, after slaughtering pigs, contact Yaren for the offal and big bones that others don't want, and she will be responsible for recycling all of them.

Considering the weather, the pigs will be slaughtered at dawn tomorrow morning, and the pork ribs and big bones will be packed together, and the pig's trotters, offal, pig blood and pork will all be piled up.In this kind of weather, the pork bones will not be stored for a long time, and they will be directly supplied to the soldiers in the rear. Some of the pork will be left to be marinated and made into bacon.This project is a bit big, and the women in the village are asked to help with it, and she will pay the wages when the time comes.

"Miss Mo, you are really a living Bodhisattva! The mother-in-law at home can do these small jobs. We butchers don't have much land at home, and we don't care about whether the farming is busy or not. Let the mother-in-law go to work with us tomorrow, you Giving us a few taels of silver is enough, don't give them."

Wu Lao Er had a serious expression on his face. He heard that these pigs were supplied to the rear army, but he relied on them for food, and he couldn't say that he didn't need wages. How could he ask for money if he asked his mother-in-law to do some small work? , as the common people do their best for the soldiers.

"Yes, miss, don't worry, everything will be done early in the morning, and I will send it to the North Camp for you before noon. Those pickled bacon will have to wait for two days, and you will come to collect it by then. We Guaranteed, there will be no shortage of meat, and I will never be greedy."

A butcher came out from behind to express his determination, which made Qingli almost laugh out loud, she nodded repeatedly, those pig hearts and pig lungs had to be dealt with, there are very few ice cellars in the big families in Pingyang, and there is no storage of ice It is customary that the blue glass space is filled with ice. There is a cellar dug deep in the backyard of the third courtyard, and it should be possible to build an ice cellar there.
