Mr. Xue Qi gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth. He was about to say something, but was blocked by Yan Huaiwen's words.
"We should be given 10% of the horses taken away by the border troops."
Mr. Xue Qi stood up with excitement.
Even Yan Laoer was stunned on the spot.
It turned out that instead of giving it, I wanted it back?!
Yan Laoer looked at Mr. Xue Qi again with a bit of sympathy.
Not only can’t we bring back the cattle and sheep, we have to look for them outside...
"How do you calculate this? Let's not talk about food. You have brought back a lot of cattle and sheep." Mr. Xue Qi's breathing became rapid, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"We agreed that you won't take any of the horses or battle credits," he said quickly.
Yan Huaiwen signaled him to be calm and calm.
He said slowly: "As I said just now, the food is not included in it, and the government office has nothing to gain. Isn't it a waste of time? The border army should give us 10% of the horses. Similarly, 10% of the cattle and sheep temporarily stored in Xiao'an Village
It must be a government office."
Yan Laoer's eyes also widened. He didn't expect that Xiao'an Village would have to be found back.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
His eyes quickly retracted, and he nodded repeatedly: "Zhong, we will bring the cattle and sheep tomorrow."
"Or..." Yan Huaiwen turned around and said: "Xiao'an Village can pay for the price by horse, and the government office will discount it according to the market price."
Yan Laoer happily responded: "Okay, use a horse to reach it."
The horses are raised in the village as if they were for the ancestors. Before the cattle, they thought they could use horse-drawn carriages in spring. Now that the cattle are in the village, the horses are no longer popular.
Those horses are really difficult to take care of. They only eat concentrated feed. They have to be taken out for a walk when the weather is nice. There are few people in the village who can ride horses. They are all young and strong, holding the reins and running beside them. They have to
Prevent them from getting angry and kicking...
Only 10% of the cattle and sheep were replaced, and only a few were replaced. Yan Laoer was very happy to be able to send some away. It is hard to find fodder this winter. Well, should we go back to the village to discuss with the big guys and sell them to the horses?
Some?
Yan Laoer rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on Mr. Xue Qi.
General Xue Qi moved closer to Yan Huaiwen.
"Yan Hushu, we have divided this horse. How about taking it back? Besides, it is useless for you to ask for the horse. We have made an agreement with the second brother Yan before. If you don't believe me, ask the second brother Yan and Tian Da.
Master, the three of us discussed it together at that time."
"Huju, the third squadron of government officials, has insufficient horses and most of them are old horses. The great master knows the difficulties of the border army and has never said anything about it. According to the rules, the retired war horses of the border army should be given priority to Zuo Jinguan Yamen and General Xue Qijun.
If you have good methods and raise horses properly, no war horses have been retired in recent years. We only deserve the number of horses captured from Beirong this time." Yan Huaiwen pressed forward step by step and his attitude was very tough.
General Xue Qi said with a smile on his face, "Yes, the border army has not eliminated military horses for many years. Good horses have their own price, bad horses have their own price, old and disabled ones, ahem, all have their own value."
Yan Laoer suddenly realized, no wonder his brother didn't leave room for Mr. Xue Qi, so he actually took advantage of us.
From the day he came to the government office, the stables were never full. When his teacher went to Fucheng, the carriage was very shabby. It turned out that the roots were here!
"We don't have many horses in the frontier army! Many of them are not worthy of us. We will suffer a lot against Beirong. Yan Hushu, look at this. Forget it this time. Let's do things together next time. But there are some differences. If we win, can our border troops succeed?"
General Xue Qi used all his strength, wishing he could have a mouth all over his body to convince Yan Hushu.
Yan Huaiwen refuses to take soft or hard advice.
It's not that easy to convince.
In the end, General Xue Qi had to vomit blood and agreed to transfer the horses replaced by the border troops to the government office.
Only then did Yan Huaiwen relax.
Yan Laoer got his brother's signal and hurriedly decided on the quantity.
Once the matter was settled, Yan Huaiwen served tea to see the guests off.
Mr. Xue Qi walked very fast, as if there was a beast behind him trying to bite him.
"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, why are you walking so fast!" Yan Laoer chased him from behind.
General Xue Qi stopped, turned around, and stared at him with a complicated expression.
Yan Hushu is not easy to mess with, but this Yan Er is also a good man who can use the power of a fox to a tiger.
I had never seen it before. This guy was so good at playing the drums, saying every word, and almost losing his skin!
"What?" He just said too much, and Mr. Xue didn't want to talk now.
"Brother Xue, it's hard to find fodder this winter. I'm afraid our village didn't prepare enough. Didn't you say you could help us find the right people to sell horses? Do you still count?"
Mr. Xue Qi's face was changing.
Hey, Yan Er, show off, are you showing off?
I'm about to roll up my sleeves because of my fight with your brother. Your village is still rich, right?
"Have you thought about selling?"
"Not yet. We don't know the market either. I want to ask you about the price first." Yan Laoer said sheepishly.
Mr. Xue Qi felt a surge of blood rushing straight to his forehead, and it took a lot of effort to suppress it.
"Wait until I see the horse." He gritted his teeth.
Yan Laoer knocked on his head.
"That's right, look at my brain, I almost forgot that we will be closer in the future, but that's great, brother Xue, are you leaving now? I have to wait a while, bring my wife and children, come out It’s not an easy trip, how about taking them around the city and having dinner at my house in the evening?”
When Mr. Xue Qi heard that he was going back later, his mind changed and he had a smile on his face.
"Don't bother Brother Yan. The brothers are still waiting outside with their bags. Let's take a step forward. When I put down my hands over there, we two brothers can have a good time together."
"Okay!"
…
Neither Li Xuemei nor Yan Yu, mother and daughter, know how to cook.
After discussing it, the two women decided to make noodles.
This one is simpler.
Kneading the dough should not be too easy for Yan Yu. Li Xuemei was very knowledgeable in theory and was giving guidance. Yan Yu kneaded the dough neatly and neatly with only a small amount of effort.
Use a rolling pin to roll out a large, uneven dough, sprinkle it with flour, fold it up, and score it one by one with a knife.
The thickness and width are not uniform, but it’s not a big problem and it doesn’t affect eating.
Pour in the beaten egg liquid and mix it with chopsticks. Add only salt and a little soy sauce.
The egg noodles are ready.
Yan Yu laughed so hard that her eyes were gone.
"Mom, how about a try?!" She eagerly wanted to know the result.
Li Xuemei picked a pair of chopsticks and took two finger-width noodles, blowing on it bite by bite, bringing it to her mouth, chewing it slowly.
Yan Yu watched eagerly.
"The noodles are quite chewy, but there is a little too much salt." Li Xuemei commented very pertinently.
"Try it yourself."
Yan Yu picked one. This one was particularly long, and the chopsticks stretched out all the way.
She bit it and quickly put it in her mouth.
His eyes were sparkling, as if he had tasted a rare delicacy in the world.
"It's delicious." With a mouth full of noodles, he praised himself while enjoying the heat: "My craftsmanship is really good... Haha, I must have inherited it from my father. Mom, if you want to eat noodles in the future, I will make it for you."
