Chapter 316: The Stray Dog

    

and put them in the storage room. While everyone was distracted, they quietly switched out the snacks on the table and took the ones with Bao Zhu, munching away while listening but saying nothing an...Several villagers didn't hesitate, jumping into the water pond one after another. They caught several drunkards and threw them onto the bank.

The clothes of the revellers hung nearby, and they were lifted straight out of the valley after wrapping themselves in them. 。The fat drunkard was still shouting, when Li Lao Si slapped him on the head, and he immediately passed out. The rest of them were so scared that they shut their mouths tight. 。Li Laer brought people to clean up those wine jars and bones, and at last smiled and bowed to the rest of the guests. 。"My friends, it was our fault for not being careful enough. We let such a bad guest in and spoiled everyone's good time. " 。Thus, everyone, please try some fruits from our mountain valley first, and enjoy a good soak in the hot springs. At lunchtime, we'll have pork slaughtered at home and simmered into the most authentic killing pig dish from the north. 。If you don't mind, why not try some fresh food together 。"Mr. Er, you're too kind. It's just a small matter." 。One regular customer chimed in, and others nodded in agreement. 。Li Lao Er once again bowed and apologized before withdrawing. 。Soon, a young man brought a fruit platter. 。There wasn't anything particularly special in the fruit bowl, just apples and pears. They were peeled, cut into pieces, and each piece was skewered with a thin wooden stick. 。But at this time of year, it's not easy to keep fruits so fresh. 。The guests took a bite and all found it exceptionally refreshing and sweet. 。Someone then laughed and said, “This piece of gold beach is really magical. I'm liking it more and more.” 。" Haha, me too " 。Although people open their doors to welcome guests in order to make money, they truly do so with integrity. 。"Yeah, I like that confidence, not bullying anyone, and not afraid of anyone." 。"Those fools earlier really embarrassed themselves! They didn't even bother to find out who owned this place before coming over." "You saw it, didn't you That man just lifted that big stone with ease. What strength!" 。"Such a person, how could they not have gone out with the Marquis"

“How do you know they didn’t go That man just now was the fourth son of the Li family. It is said that the Li family saved the Marquis's life. Previously, the Marquis was seriously injured and recuperated at the Li family >>> "

This time the Marquis went on a campaign, and this Li Fourth Master went with him. It's estimated that he's back today to visit his family and was caught up by those fools just now. 。"Such a coincidence Haha, it's quite a show!" 。I don't know about the mountains and valleys, but in Li's courtyard, they still divided the meat as usual, started fires, and were busy all day. 。Jia Yin was woken up by the noise and finally yawned as she got up, turning her head to see Madam Cui watching over her, stitching. 。"Master... 。"Jia Yin softly murmured a sentence." 。"Good girl, you're awake!" Mrs. Cui put down her sewing basket and moved it away, afraid she might prick the child. Then she picked up Jia Yin and gently kissed her little face. 。"At home, when slaughtering a pig, your grandma and mother will be busy. Your aunt will help you wash your face, and then you can eat meat, okay" "Okay, thank you, Aunt." 。"Jia Yin giggled, and quickly got dressed and went downstairs." 。After washing and dressing, the big and small pair stepped out, only to see Li Lao standing in front of the large chopping board. 。On the chopping board, strips of pork were neatly arranged. Each strip was roughly the same size, about two pounds. This was the portion allotted to each household in the village. 。There are also two pieces weighing five or six catties each. These are prepared to be sent to Liu's family and Mr. Wen. 。When Old Mrs. Li saw that her granddaughter was awake, she quickly bent down and picked her up, then said to Madam Cui, "Since you're here, I won't send the pork to your estate anymore." 。It's from Liu's family and Mr. Wen's place, they need to be delivered. Do you have anything that you could take with you 。Madam Cui blushed, seeing that there were no outsiders around, and said, “I just happened to make two pairs of shoes and a long robe for my senior brother. I'll take them to him.” 。Besides, I'll get my sister-in-law two embroidery books she likes from Liu's place. 。" Look, this is how it's arranged. 。" The two of them discussed, and Jia Yin listened. It seemed like Mao Ge'er and the others were outside in the courtyard. So she struggled to get up and ran out. 。Originally, the cat brothers were a few naughty kids. They didn't even have time to put down their schoolbags and started kicking up bubbles at the door, playing loudly and happily. 。Jia Yin watched the commotion with a smile, not intending to join in. 。She has such tiny arms and legs, one wrong move and she'll fall, easily becoming the second ball...Just as things were getting lively, two carriages suddenly raced over from the valley. The children jumped in fright, quickly ducking behind doors. 。Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ pulled the cat brother behind them, then embraced their younger sister, protecting her in their arms. 。The carriage sped by in the blink of an eye, unfortunately crushing the pig's bladder. The mischievous boy cried out in anger. 。Just then, the village head and Li Laoer returned. Seeing the children like this, they laughed and said, "This is a small matter, don't argue anymore. Tomorrow, I will let your husbands go to the city and buy some leather balls back. You can all kick them when you are free!" "Really" The boys were overjoyed and immediately forgot about the little matter just now. 。Li Lao Si hugged his daughter and told the village head and his second brother, “Don’t let these people make appointments anymore, don’t let them come to our mountain valley!” "Don't worry, they probably don't have the guts to come again." 。"Li Laer waved his hand. 'Today the house is lively, let's not talk about this for now. I'll find out more later.'" 。Everyone nodded, that's it. 。In the kitchen, several women accompanied Tao Hongying, busy as could be. 。At home, they still ate the usual dishes of pork and noodles, but Li Laosi and Li Yong would go back to the wharf after their meal. They always brought some food for Houye and their fellow soldier brothers. 。Thus, Tao Hongying made two extra batches of dough and planned to steam 200 steamed buns. 。It has noodles, meat, and vegetables. The taste is good and it's filling. 。Soon, Li Yong and his wife also arrived, and Huiniang joined the group making baozi. 。When the sun rose to its zenith, the meal was ready. 。Every man, woman and child in the village held a large earthen bowl filled with bone broth stew of pickled mustard greens, large pieces of pork and blood sausage. Their chopsticks also held two large steamed buns. 。Find a sunny and sheltered spot to squat, everyone eats and drinks idle chatter, it's really satisfying. 。Jia Yin also joined the fun, bringing a small bowl filled with meat taken from the bones by the old lady and a large, soft bun. 。She squatted beside her father, eating and listening to him talk about the things happening at the dockyard camp. 。Previously, the Marquis feigned retreat, thoroughly subduing those short-sighted old men in court. 。Now that military pay is being fully disbursed, there is an ample supply of rations, and most of the weapons and equipment have been replaced with new ones. This is enough to support an army of 20,000 soldiers on a campaign lasting two or three months. 。And if everything went smoothly, the Marquis returned from his campaign and both the corn and potato seedlings had grown to a foot high. 。It takes the Manchus another two or three months to recover their strength. By then, it is autumn, and corn and potatoes are ready for harvest. 。Then the entire Tianwu would know about the high-yield crops, able to quickly recover its national strength. Retaking Jiangbei would be absolutely possible, and everyone from top to bottom would unite all their forces, just waiting for the counterattack. 。Whether it is a scholar, an official, or even the emperor, they all particularly value those few judgments recorded in history books. 。Heaven Martial's half of the empire was lost in their hands. 。If they can win it back, they can still save some face. Otherwise, in the annals of history, they will be utter failures, worthless dogs!d you send Little He the Fufeng Cream"Chen Lao Er was in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground and shouting."No, no! I don't know! Give me a pull, I'm dying!""Give me smoke, give me smoke!"Chen Chu...
