Chapter 10834
In the kitchen.
Mrs. Yu Zhong took out two baskets and one basket and showed them to Yu Zhong.
“These...are all what they delivered this morning!”
Cabbage, radish, eggs, dried bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, brown sugar, sugar dumplings, two pieces of cloth...< br>
"There is also an old hen tied up in the chicken coop. It was given by xxx from the village. It was said to be for the health of our children..."
The mother-in-law stopped talking about this. These people gave these things. Come here, what are you thinking about? The couple feels bright.
Yu Zhong looked at these things on the ground and sighed in his heart, thinking that I have been a Li Zheng for more than ten years. Apart from being somewhat decent when talking in the village, who else really treats you as a Li Zheng? Serve?
If you borrow some salt or something from someone, you have to be favoured.
This time, because the noble man was in trouble, he temporarily settled here. When they got an opportunity, these villagers took action.
In order to get this opportunity to make money, these villagers secretly competed with each other and learned how to send gifts and bribes here?
"Master, what are you doing with these things? Hold them hot!" The mother-in-law had the same thoughts as Yu Zhong. She had never accepted these bribes before, and she felt very uneasy.
“These things are not hot, let’s accept them all.” Yu Zhong said.
"Those who have given gifts, as long as they can do activities, I will arrange places for them, and I will not let them lose their things. As for the snow in the twenty-mile land, the nobles also need manpower to handle things."
"That noble person knows that we have obtained these benefits through their prestige, and he will definitely be unhappy and think that we are greedy..."
"Don't worry, this little thing is nothing in the eyes of noble people."
If you want a horse to run, you have to give it some fodder, right?
In the final analysis, these things are just food for farmers and are not worth much money.
“Those two pieces of cloth, you can make a new pair of trousers for each of the children during the Chinese New Year.”
“The old hen I sent will be killed later and brought back at noon. Entertain the nobles! ”
"There are also vegetables sent by the villagers, which have also been cooked. Now that our family has to entertain guests, these things will be used. The nobles are watching. Ninety percent of the things we collected will be used by themselves. They will not fail to use them. I'm happy!"
Since the head of the family said so, the woman took a reassurance, and the couple started working separately.
Yu Zhong went to the entrance of the village to 'order troops and generals', while the woman stayed at home cooking and cooking.
Yang Huazhong and the others also cheered up. After breakfast, Yang Huazhong, Daan, and seven or eight guards also joined the snow shoveling team.
At this time, the team is at the entrance of the village. Good guy, Yu Zhong actually summoned more than 60 people in one day. With Yang Huazhong and others, the snow shoveling team has steadily reached 80 people!
With eighty people, this battle still looks impressive.
Many villagers know that Yang Huazhong and Daan are noble people, but Yang Huazhong looks no different from them, dressed as a simple farmer.
But Da'an is different. Da'an's temperament is completely different from theirs. He is full of poetry and calligraphy, elegant and noble, and has the majesty of someone who has been in power for a long time.
When facing this group of enthusiastic villagers, Daan was able to control his majesty freely. He was neither arrogant nor overly close. In short, he grasped the sense of distance very well, making the villagers awe and respect. Worship him and work harder.
Yu Zhong divided the eighty people into four groups, with twenty people in each group.
It is twenty miles from here to the station ahead, and each group is responsible for five miles of snow.
Each group consists of twenty people, and twenty people shovel snow for five miles. This speed can completely keep up.
On the other side, the horses have also been fed. After noon, they can hit the road and arrive at the inn twenty miles away before dark!
Seizing an opportunity, Yu Zhong told Yang Huazhong everything about the villagers last night, including the secret small gifts given to Yu Zhong's family later. "...These people can't afford to get up early without any benefit. Now they are all so motivated, and they are all here for the red envelopes!"
Yang Huazhong was not surprised by this, "You can't let people work in vain. We give red envelopes as a matter of course."
"As for the little gifts, they are not worth mentioning. You can just keep those things. , It’s our turn to send you off!”
Yu Zhong waved his hands hurriedly: “Brother Yang, I can’t hold back my words so I tell you everything. Don’t misunderstand what I mean. I I don’t mean to ask you for anything!”
“I sincerely want to help you. I think our family has never had a scholar in our lifetime,”
"It is the kindness of our ancestors that the number one scholar can come to stay at my house now. The number one scholar is like the Wenqu star in the sky descending to earth. It is a blessing for my family to receive you. We are happy to receive you. Really..."
Yang Huazhong patted Yu Zhong on the shoulder: "You and I hit it off as soon as we met. Don't say anything. I'm committed to you as a brother!"
......
As for Yu Zhong's family, Yu Zhong Mrs. Zhong is also cooking rice in full swing.
Sun came over to help her.
When she saw that there were so many ingredients in the kitchen, especially when Mrs. Yu Zhong also killed the chickens, Mrs. Sun was really...
"Brothers and sisters, why are you killing chickens again? Didn't I tell you yesterday? Don't spend any more money on us!"
We stayed for two days and only killed two chickens. How to celebrate the New Year?
This is really embarrassing for Mr. Sun, really!
“Brothers and sisters, if you continue to eat like this, we will make your family poor!”
“I killed two chickens in two days, and you have no chicken to eat during the New Year. The snow must be shoveled. Once it is shoveled, we will go to the inn and leave a chicken for the Chinese New Year!”
Sun covered her face, she was really embarrassed!
But Mrs. Yu Zhong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? These chickens and ducks are not from my family!"
"Speaking of which, we are holding the corner of your clothes. Only then can I eat this chicken."
"What do you mean?" asked Sun.
Ms. Yu Zhong then told the villagers that they didn’t want to shovel the snow before, but later wanted to shovel the snow because of the red envelopes. Yu Zhong was so angry that he deliberately refused to give up the quota. These people all rushed to compete for the quota. Mrs. Yu Zhong told Mrs. Sun about delivering things here.
"Sister-in-law, do you blame me for accepting these things without your consent?"
"It's not yet dawn and you are still sleeping, so I can't wake you up to make up your mind... ..."
Besides, they are all radish, cabbage and the like. The most valuable thing is this chicken and the two pieces of cloth in the house.
After learning all this, Mrs. Sun was not only not angry, but also very happy.
"Your family Yu Zhong has a method and does a good job!" Mrs. Sun immediately gave Yu Zhong a thumbs up.
"To be honest, my third son is also an upright person in the village. We are the upright mothers. I have seen through many things in these years. Sometimes, I am really annoyed!"
< br>Just because the men in my family are honest and upright, many villagers in the village have many little thoughts.
