The fat and oily pig's trotters were put into Xu Qiang's mouth again and again. As Xu Qiang chewed, countless swallowing sounds could be heard around him.
Xu Qiang enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and watched by the big guys, and he was full of pride (in fact, everyone was paying attention to the pig trotters in his hands): "Well, it's glutinous and fragrant! Can you smell it?"
As Xu Qiang spoke, he swept the pig's trotters away from the brothers surrounding him one by one. Unexpectedly, his behavior caused a wave of hatred.
"Well, Xu Qiang!" Qin Yi slammed the table, took a deep look at the pig's trotters in Xu Qiang's hand, and then looked at Zhang Da. Seeing Zhang Da's eyes turned away, he looked back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
: "We all agreed at the beginning, we
Being brothers brings blessings and hardships together. It has been a year, a whole year, and we haven't eaten a big piece of meat. Now that you have become rich with your wife, you have to let us eat meat, even if you don't give us a pig's trotter each.
Only Xing is worthy of the word brother, right?"
Xu Qiang raised his eyebrows: "That's not my fault. I asked you to follow my wife. If you don't follow my wife, who do you blame?"
"That can't be said like that. Madam asked us to dig a fertile pit in the general's yard, but we didn't see any benefit from Madam."
"Hey, it's boring for you to talk like this. If you help the madam with work, you are the madam's person. I will give you ten cents a month. Are you not satisfied?"
"You earn a lot now, so you are naturally satisfied."
The implication is that Qin Yi is dissatisfied. Xu Qiang is depressed and suddenly feels that the pig's trotters in his mouth are not so fragrant anymore. His wife is so kind to him, and he must protect his wife's reputation and not let everyone have objections to her! He
Put down the pig's trotters, he recently sold bean sprouts and earned at least half a tael of silver. How about treating all the brothers to a meal of meat?
Xu Qiang struggled, and when he finally made up his mind to speak, he only heard:
"Everyone, come quickly. Madam is back from buying meat. Lots and lots of meat!"
Madam, did you buy some meat?
Does that mean he doesn’t have to pay for the meat himself? No, how can that be okay? Madam buys meat for herself to eat. How can he worry about Madam’s meat anymore? He shouldn’t!
"I'll treat everyone to some meat." Xu Qiang endured his heartache and said.
Zhang Da glanced at Xu Qiang and was speechless at Xu Qiang's hindsight: "I told you not to show off, but you don't believe me. Now that everyone is gone, no one will listen to what you say."
Xu Qiang paused, and then he noticed that there was no one in the house. Could they all go to see the meat that Madam bought? But how much meat can Madam buy?
The answer is...
Su Jian really bought a lot of meat!
As soon as Su Jian got off the carriage, she heard a loud gasping sound. She looked around and found that many people were surrounding her.
"Madam, how much meat did you buy?" Song Siqi looked at the meat in front of him, and his voice trembled unconsciously.
"Can't you see? There are two fat pigs weighing about 180 kilograms, living piglets, and a lot of chickens. There will be chickens delivered tomorrow." Goose Huang didn't like the eyes of the people around him. He was so green.
, like a hungry wolf.
Su Jian coughed and secretly thought that Goose Huang didn't know how to hide it, and everyone's attention was on the meat now. Otherwise, Goose Huang might have caused a wave of hatred.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have two things to announce."
Song Siqi saluted Su Jian, his eyes hinting to the people around him to restrain themselves. He didn't notice it himself, but he couldn't help but glance at the pork from the corner of his eye: "Madam, please give me your instructions."
"Everyone has been working hard in farming for the past few days, so these two fat pigs are a snack from me. I hope you will work harder in farming after the tooth ceremony." After Su Jian finished speaking, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
.This reaction was very different from what she expected. Just when she was wondering what to say, bursts of cheers rang out.
"Madam, thank you madam!"
"I didn't have any auditory hallucinations, did I? Pinch me quickly, quickly!"
"Long live my lady!"
"Lady is generous!"
…
There was a cheer that drowned out the other, and each smile was brighter than the last. Su Jian couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. It seemed that the reward she gave was in line with their wishes: "Quiet."
Song Siqi was in shock. He lamented his wife's generosity and her ability to control people's hearts. He suddenly heard Su Jian speak, and he quickly took the lead: "Everyone, be quiet!"
Su Jian glanced at Song Siqi and rested her eyes on Liniang: "The men in the house who are willing to work with me have basically arranged their work, but I haven't arranged the women yet. These twenty little ones
Piglets, and forty-five chicks. Of course, fifty-five more will be delivered tomorrow. You can arrange for the women in the house to raise them. The piglets are well raised, and everyone will enjoy eating meat during the New Year.
And at the end of the year, a separate reward of half a tael of silver will be given. As for the chickens, if they are well raised, they will be rewarded with ten coins per month calculated on a monthly basis."
Liniang looked at Su Jian intently, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses: "Madam, is this algorithm based on head count or..."
"According to the number of piglets and chickens."
Liniang's eyes widened when she heard this. Before she could speak, she just listened:
"Madam, we can raise it, we can raise it too!"
It's the voices of men.
The women were anxious: "How dare you grown men fight for the jobs Madam gave us?"
Some of the men felt embarrassed, and some felt disapproving.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have my own arrangements here for what you want to do. I will let Xiong Xiazi and Zhang Da inform you later.
Don't just be happy and help me do things. If you do well, I won't treat you badly, but if you don't do well, you will have to compensate and be punished."
"Compensation, punishment?" Song Siqi looked at Su Jian.
"The specific matters and terms will be announced later. Now you only need to think about happy things and eat meat!" Su Jian unconsciously raised her voice.
Hearing this, everyone put aside all their doubts and their eyes brightened, but after a moment, cheers rang out again.
Su Jian was satisfied with their quick actions. Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on her, she approached Goose Huang and said, "After dinner, let Liniang and Xiong Xiongzi come over."
"Don't worry, miss."
"Okay, you're busy, I'm going to find Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei will definitely like this maltose." Su Jian looked down at the paper bag in her hand, with a soft smile in her eyes.
When Song Siqi heard what Su Jian said, he felt a little strange when he thought that except for the few glances Su Jian gave him at the beginning, Su Jian didn't look at him afterwards. Now, even with various instructions, she seemed to be ignoring him.
He was thinking about whether to catch up and ask what happened, and also wanted to have a good talk with his wife. Unexpectedly, when he moved his steps, he suddenly noticed a line of sight. When he looked over, he saw a carriage driving away, and
He didn't see anyone in the carriage.
On the carriage, Shopkeeper Xu quietly observed Feng Yicheng. He was already surprised that Feng Yicheng took the initiative to follow Su Jian back home but kept a distance from Su Jian, making them appear to be following them sneakily. Now he saw them again.
Feng Yicheng raised the corners of his lips, his expression seemed to be joyful, and he was even more shocked.
"This is the first time I've seen a seller give me a prescription. I don't want money, but I want meat. It's interesting."
