Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 107

I don't want to hear that my beloved woman gave you delicious food today, but I forget that there are still a group of subordinates with empty stomachs in front of me.

He blushed slightly in embarrassment, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, thought about it, and finally said cruelly, "Uncle Yun, tell the kitchen to bring everyone's lunch, let's eat together."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the big bowl of braised pork in front of him forward, and said with a dry smile, "Share the meat as well."

"Great! Thank you, General!" Without waiting for Uncle Yun to respond, Yuchihui was the first to jump up joyfully, without Uncle Yun sending a message, he rushed out the door in two or three steps, and quickly kicked him with his big foot. Two fat cooks under the stove came in with a big pot of rice and a big bucket of cabbage stew.

"Assault" under his feet, he didn't idly talk, "Look at you two fat people, save all the good meat for yourself to eat. The dishes you cook on weekdays are unpalatable, not much better than pig food, you really should give them away You go to Zhuang to go to school!"

The two cooks were so wronged that they would die. If their skills were not good, who would have sat at the door of the kitchen waiting for the meal before the meal was served?Now that there is a daughter-in-law, the matchmaker will throw it over the wall, which is too unkind.

However, the two of them secretly meowed at the bowl of delicious stewed meat on the general's desk, and they also became eager to learn. Helpless, the always ruthless and strict general has a strange expression today, no matter how courageous they are, they dare not speak.

The two cooks were quick and quick, and quickly filled everyone with a bowl of rice and a bowl of stew.Holding his job bowl, Yu Chihui smiled and went to the desk to urge Uncle Yun to share the meat.

Uncle Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and took the meat bowl away from his young master's eyes. When he brought it back, there was only five or six yuan left, so that he didn't dare to look at his young master's trembling eyebrows.

He was already very stingy, and each person was divided into four or five yuan. However, there were so many people in the house, a hundred thousand troops, and there were more than 20 generals and lieutenants. There were more wolves and less meat, and the remaining few yuan was what he tried to save. up.

Everyone also felt guilty, and did not dare to covet the remaining two meat and two vegetables. They lowered their heads to bite a small mouthful of braised pork, and then vigorously planed the rice. The taste was enough to surpass everything else.

Gong Zhiming slowly finished the braised pork before he started to eat the rest of the dishes. Sure enough, he saw Yu Chihui stretching his head to look at that idiot again. The disappointed look on his face really made him feel much better.

Not to mention that many generals in the government office became thick-skinned collectively because of a bowl of braised pork, but only said that in Yunjiazhuang, the farmers happily brought pork home, even if the housewives wanted to use this rare good thing with salt Pickle it with salt, but looking at the drooling children, they finally cut off a small piece of stewed cabbage, which made the whole family eat it and make their bellies round.

After eating and drinking enough, the men in the family put on the most shabby clothes and went to find the head of Yuanzhuang to distribute work. They had heard from Steward Cheng that from now on, all the labor in the village would start to earn something called work points. According to the amount at the end of the year, the main family will distribute grain and pork, and even cotton and cloth.

As the head of the family, it is necessary to work harder to feed and clothe the wife and children, not to mention that for the time being, the new head seems to be kind and reasonable.

Thinking in this way, the entire Yunjiazhuang started a vigorous construction.

Ding Wei was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to her son, so she directly stuffed the naughty boy to Sister-in-law Cheng and took him to play with her second child under the pear tree. Walked all over.I don't know if it was because rich man Li was afraid of Gong Zhiming's reputation before, or because he fled too hastily and left all the grain for the autumn harvest.Although it wasn't too much, it was mostly corn and corn, but buying some round-grained rice and fine noodles, mixed with it, was enough for the Yun family's rations for the next year.In addition, there are more than half of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the cellar, and the other half is cabbage and radishes. These are half grain and half vegetables, full of good things.

Looking at the warehouse, there are not many good things, but there are dozens of sets of coarse porcelain bowls, and there are many long tables and chairs.

Ding Wei was delighted to see it, and directly asked Uncle Li to clean up the two vacant rooms in the outer courtyard.Set up tables and chairs in one, and put a big kang in the other. Later, when Gong Zhiming returns with his personal guards, it will be convenient for eating and lodging.

Thinking of the turmoil in the city, Yun Ying looked at Ding Wei's indifference, admiring and curious in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Girl, um, maybe a war is about to start. Aren't you afraid?"

Ding Wei was taken aback by the question, but then smiled and said, "Isn't there still a young master? If someone comes to us, then he will bear the name of the invincible general in vain. Besides, if You've been worrying all day, can't you make it through that day?"

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at the whole manor and said, "I've heard a saying that despise the enemy in strategy, and pay attention to the enemy in deployment. Let's build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slow down... Well, in short, Believe in the general, and then make all the preparations."

Yunying was very curious about what the words that were thrown back by the eyes were, but she didn't ask.But Ding Wei suddenly thought of something, "Is there a secret passage in the village?"

"How does the girl know? I checked it out when I got up early. There is a road under the bed in the main room, which leads to a cave in Dongshan. The cave is connected to the hole of a half-dead old pear tree. Presumably the previous owner The family hid some gold and silver there, leaving only two empty boxes."

Yun Ying hadn't had time to report, but Ding Wei seemed like a prophet.

Ding Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she became playful for a moment. She took Yunying away from her son who was playing in the yard, and actually walked through the secret passage, and finally came back in a disheveled manner, and said, "This secret passage is nothing but We can't let anyone know about it anymore. Remember to put some food and water in the cave, change it frequently on weekdays, maybe someday it will come in handy."

Yunying nodded, and responded positively.

After Ding Wei gave the order, she forgot about it, who would have thought that she would just be playful for a while, and it would come in handy soon.

As the old saying goes, more people make it easier to work, and fewer people make it easier to eat.Because there is hope in the upper and lower parts of Yunjiazhuang, the households in the village work very hard, but in a few days, a lot of adobes have been dried at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, and wooden poles as thick as the man's arms are piled up to half a person's height, waiting for the north wind to blow happily , the adobe was as strong as green bricks, and the wooden poles were completely dry.

There is no need to go to the city to hire a plasterer. Farmers are almost all-rounders.For example, they dare not boast about building a large yard, but building an adobe house for raising pigs and chickens is still competent.

So, seeing the two rows of pig houses and the two rows of chicken houses, they quickly jumped to the height of two people.At noon that day, a string of firecrackers was set off, and everyone chanted and finished putting up the girder.

Ding Wei specially ordered Aunt Li to set up a table to reward the farmers who have been busy for a long time. The farmers originally only hoped that the master would give them some rewards, but who would have thought that they would be treated so grandly? In good clothes, he sat in the outer courtyard rubbing his hands cautiously and picked up the wine bowl.

Cheng Dayou has been busy with everyone these days, and his face is also black and red, and now he is persuading wine on behalf of the master.He was born as a shopkeeper, and now he has won the trust of the master's family. It is the time when the spring breeze is in full swing, and his words and deeds are becoming more harmonious.

Two bowls of old wine were poured into the belly, and the big bowl of sliced ​​cabbage and meat made their mouths oily, and the farmers were completely heartbroken.

Cheng Dayou took advantage of the revelry and assigned them a new task, which was to buy piggies and half-grown chickens.After all, the chicken coop and the pig coop are covered, so they cannot be left empty to bask in the sun.But Miss Ding said that during the Chinese New Year, a batch of pigs and chickens will be given to the general, and they will be kept to reward the soldiers.

Although the farmers live in poverty, everyone has three relatives and six friends, and there are several acquaintances in the ten miles and eight villages.The job assigned by the master is just a little extra lip service, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

I can stay out of the wine table, and go home to say that the old lady took her grandson, and the mother-in-law went out with a basket filled with pancakes. This one went back to her mother's house, and the other went to visit the old uncle. Knowing that the owner has changed, Li's Village accepts chickens and piggies, and even if they don't have both, they also accept eggs.

On weekdays, every family’s oil and salt would be picked out from the hen’s buttocks, and no one would be willing to sell it.But now that the world is not peaceful, war may not start anytime soon.Even though the rebels were strictly disciplined and never harassed the people, it was guaranteed that there would be no stray soldiers passing by, and the pigs and chickens at home might not even have a hair left, so they might as well sell them and bring back some food.

Thinking in this way, one after another someone used a wheelbarrow to push their own piglets and half-sized chickens, and put eggs in their back baskets to Yunjiazhuang, and finally pushed more or less food back to their own home.

The accumulation of less becomes more, and the accumulation of sand becomes a tower.

Another half month has passed, and there are more than [-] big pigs and small pigs in the pig house of Yun's house. There are also big chickens and small chickens cooing non-stop in the chicken rack, and even the red-skinned eggs have saved a full four to five hundred. Only.

Ding Wei chose a sunny day to take Aunt Li and Xiao Qing to clean a few large clay pots, wash the eggs and dip them in the wine bowl, roll them in a pile of fine salt, and place them one by one. Put it in a clay pot, seal the pot and send it to the cellar to eat red oil and salted eggs.

This method is actually not as good as wrapping it in yellow mud or simply pickling it with pepper salt water, but it takes less time.Speaking of salted eggs, duck eggs are the best. Unfortunately, ducks eat a lot and love water, so farmers rarely raise them.At this time, it is already very good to receive eggs.

After finishing all this work, the solar term has already entered November. Even though the climate in Qianzhou is warmer than that in Qingping, winter is not as good as autumn.The Yun family had changed into cotton-padded jackets a long time ago, and even the farm households went in and out of their tricks, some wearing sheepskin waistcoats, some wearing bullshit hats, in short, how to stay warm.

On the contrary, Gong Zhiming in the city was worried about the padded clothes of the soldiers. The Ministry of Commerce had taken a huge risk to buy a large amount of cotton and linen from the western Xinjiang, but there was no one to sew them into cotton padded clothes and cotton shoes.

Qian Liang has taken care of Qianzhou these days, and he considers himself a shrewd and capable person.But I didn't have any good ideas when I encountered this matter, and finally thought about it and suggested, "General, why don't you distribute the cotton cloth to every household in the city, finish it within a time limit, and take it back later."
