Chapter 65 Ancestors are stingy
In the cowshed, the old cows were grazing. Wang Wu and Wang Liu hid aside and opened the lotus leaves, revealing the steaming roast chicken. Their eyes were fixed on the roast chicken and they stopped moving. At this time, Wang Wu glanced at Wang Liu and said
: "Let's start eating."
"Began to eat."
As they spoke, the two of them tore up a chicken drumstick. They took a small bite at first, preparing to chew it carefully. However, as soon as the meat touched their lips, the small bite turned into a big bite, and the chicken drumstick went into the stomach after half a bite.
"Woohoo~smells."
The two of them were so moved that they almost cried while eating the meat. It had been a long time since they had tasted the fishy smell of meat. It was so delicious that the two of them chewed up all the bones in the chicken legs and swallowed them.
Chicken bones are also nutritious and have a meaty taste.
In this era, many people eat chicken without spitting out chicken bones. This is not a joke, it is true.
The two of them had a great time eating.
"Brother, look at Brother Chaosheng. We went against him, and he gave us money and chickens. Look at Wang Laocai, what the hell, our brothers almost lost their lives. He even gave us a bowl of noodles.
If you don't even do it, you really are not a human being."
"Shhh, keep your voice down. We don't know what Wang Laocai is like yet. We are just crazy. We want him to make noodles for us. We are also crazy to risk our lives for him. We need to be more cautious in doing things in the future.
, if the dangerous thing happens a little later, even if you risk your life, he won't be grateful to us."
"That's right, Wang Laocai, this family is very close to the core. I heard from my grandma that the family's croquet has been passed down from generation to generation. Before Wang Laocai's grandfather died, Wang Laocai's father thought that he was about to die and couldn't eat with everyone.
I had glutinous rice noodles and steamed buns, so I exchanged rice with someone and cooked a bowl of white rice porridge. Originally, the old man could survive for two days, but he was so angry that he died from the prodigal son."
"Also, Wang Laocai's father, when he was about to die, he looked at his birthday cake and found that it was an inch thicker than he wanted. At that time, he slapped Wang Laocai and forced Wang Laocai to give him a thin-skinned birthday cake."
Wang Liu said as he ate the chicken. After hearing this, Wang Wu said nothing and thought for a long time: "We will never succeed in following Wang Laocai. If there is a good place to go, we should make plans early."
After hearing this, Wang Liu said with a bitter face: "There is no good place to go. The world is in chaos. We may die on the road after leaving Lantian."
After hearing this, Wang Wudao said: "Hey, it would be great if our surname was Li."
After hearing this, Wang Liu understood what Wang Wu meant. If his surname was Li, he could join Li Chaosheng, so he sighed: "Hey, it would be great if my surname was Li."
"Hey, Wang Wu, Wang Liu, what are you doing?"
Just when Wang Wu and Wang Liu were sighing, a figure suddenly flashed over from in front of the cowshed, and then pointed at Wang Wu, who had not hidden the roast chicken and said: "You guys, where did you get the roast chicken?"
Wang Wuyi saw that it was Zhao Xizi who managed cattle for Wang Laocai. He was Wang Laocai's daughter-in-law and nephew. His family was in ruins, so he came to Wang Laocai to seek refuge. Is Wang Laocai a person who feeds idle people? He was unwilling to do so.
He gave Zhao Xizi a relatively leisurely job raising cattle, which was regarded as taking care of him.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Wang Wu and Wang Liu said as they wrapped the chicken.
"Hey, do you think I don't know? I just saw it. Li Chaolong from Lao Li's family came to give it to you."
Zhao Xizi looked at the two of them and said, after hearing this Wang Wudao said: "So what, this is the medical expenses that Li Chaolong helped Li Chaosheng give us, and we are being beaten today."
"Oh, if I get beaten, I'll give you roast chicken. Then let him beat me."
Zhao Xizi rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Okay, I don't ask why he roasted chicken for you, but if you see him, please give me a chicken wing."
"No."
Wang Wu and Wang Liu said in unison, "Why do you open your mouth and ask for a chicken wing? We paid for it with our lives."
"If you don't give it, I'll tell my uncle about it."
"Excuse me, he won't make noodles for us, and he doesn't want others to roast chicken for me."
Wang Liu tilted his neck and said. After hearing this, Zhao Xizi pointed at the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, just wait for me."
…
At the residence of the Li family, Li Chaosheng returned with thirty people and met Li Chaolong. Li Chaolong reported the situation to Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng also told Li Chaolong about his findings. Li Chaolong was also very excited.
At the same time, Li Chaosheng gave Li Chaolong a Mongolian waist knife. Looking at the sharp knife, Li Chaolong replaced the machete that he regarded as a treasure.
After a simple exchange, Li Chaosheng arranged a job for Li Chaolong and helped find masons and blacksmiths in the four villages.
After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "I suggest using people from our tribe as masons. The military base is our secret and cannot be known to outsiders, especially during the construction stage."
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng agreed and discussed the salary with Li Chaolong. Li Chaolong said: "Forget the money, we will take care of the food. After the work is completed, each person will be given ten kilograms of millet."
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng agreed, but Li Chaolong said: "We don't need to pay for the wages, but we only need the materials. Are you going to use yellow clay or something else?"
"Blue Brick."
Li Chaosheng told the materials he wanted to use. After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "It will cost a lot of money, but we have a lot of brick-burners, and the quality is pretty good."
"Okay, let my cousin worry about the purchase of bricks."
Li Chaolong said: "Brother, don't say this, but we don't have this blacksmith, so we need to find someone from outside the tribe."
"It's nothing. The blacksmith we hired this time is to make the bandits' scrap metal into farm tools. It doesn't matter if others find out."
Li Chaolong nodded after hearing this: "It's good to practice it, it will save you unnecessary trouble."
Soon the two of them decided on a plan, and Li Chaosheng got busy. Then the only problem left was the seeds from the inferior fields.
As for the construction of the military base, Li Chaosheng originally planned to use cement, but a problem stumped Li Chaosheng, that is, how to transport bags of cement to the late Ming Dynasty, whether by himself or by his own trolley, it would be a tiring job
Die.
After chatting with Li Chaolong for a few words, he determined the next schedule. The first and most important thing was farming. Li Chaolong said that all the land had been rented to the tribesmen. In the past few days, the tribesmen would start plowing and weeding, waiting for Li Chaosheng's immortal seeds.
The second is the construction of the military base. In the past few days, Li Chaolong went back to find the most experienced old masons in the clan to do this work, but it may take a little longer.
During this process, Li Chaosheng mentioned the bandits imprisoned in the dungeon. These people are all good coolies. The heavy physical work of digging foundations and moving stones can be left to them. This was also the original intention of sparing them alive in the first place. As for
The custody is left to Mengzi and the others.
