Zhang Sihai's disadvantage is that he is timid, but his advantage is that he is clever.
Instead of letting him charge head-on, let him do something that uses his brain.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Whether it is useful or not depends on how it is used.
As soon as he heard that he was asked to manage the baggage team, Zhang Sihai almost fainted out of joy, and immediately glanced at the others with his small eyes.
Humph, let’s see who of you dares to look down on me in the future!
Zhang Sihai looked around for a long time, but he didn't find anyone who envied him, and he almost became angry.
Huh, what is that sentence that Yun Chao often says...
Simple mind, well-developed limbs.
You are a bunch of idiots who only know how to use force. There will come a time when you will envy me!
Regardless of what Zhang Sihai thought, Yun Chao directly made Shitou the leader of the combat team.
"Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. The queue is too late to practice for the time being. Shitou, you can lead everyone to practice stabbing now!"
"Yes, second brother!"
Wang Shitou agreed happily.
Isn't it just practicing spear stabbing? If there's anything difficult about it, just watch it!
However, after Shitou took over, he realized how painful it was when Yun Chao trained them that day.
A group of villagers, some in their thirties, couldn't even form a line, and they were so erratic that they almost made Shitou angry to death.
This hasn't even allowed you to actually practice your queue. It's just like this one by one. If you still want to fight the bandits, it would be great if you can come back alive!
After I started teaching everyone how to practice stabbing, the stone collapsed even more.
Some people don’t prick when they are told to prick, but they insist on pricking when they are not allowed to prick. It’s so damn irritating!
Only after experiencing it personally did Shitou realize how difficult it was for Yun Chao.
I used to think that my second brother had a bad temper during training, but now it seems that his temper is good enough!
You even want to hit someone, okay?
Yun Chao didn't watch Shitou's training, it was just a stabbing move, and he believed Shitou could handle it.
He is arranging everyone's lunch.
As expected, the meat vendor often killed pigs, and his hands and feet were very nimble. It didn't take long for him to carve up a big pig.
"Aunt Wang, ask someone to wash out the pig's waste!"
"Young lady, take someone back to steam rice!"
"Boss Zheng, weigh how much meat we have produced, and I will pay you now!"
Boss Zheng is a meat vendor. His surname is Zheng and his name is Zheng Tu.
I guess his father was also a pig butcher, otherwise he wouldn't have been given such a fresh and refined name.
When he was in Sanshui Town, Yun Chao had already made an agreement with Zheng Tu. He would drive the pigs to Wolong Village. After killing them, he would settle the accounts according to the clean meat, which was eighty cents per pound.
Pure meat is pure meat without internal organs and large bones.
In the Dawu Dynasty, things like stick bones and backbones were used as supplements when buying meat. Butchers would give them to whomever they liked, and whoever bought meat often.
Pigs can be sold for a certain amount of money, but they cannot be sold for much. The rich are unwilling to eat it and the poor cannot afford it.
Therefore, Yun Chao and Zheng Tu had agreed before that big bones and water do not count as money.
Seeing Yun Chao paying the bill to the meat vendor, the villagers woke up from their dreams and realized that Yun Chao was not bullying others, they had agreed long ago that he was killing their own pigs!
If I had told you earlier, we had been worried for so long and thought it was because Yun Er had become evil after he became the head of the capital!
The pig that Zheng Tu brought over was neither big nor small, and produced a total of 122 kilograms of clean meat.
The clean meat includes the ribs, so you can’t shave the ribs one by one, right?
One hundred and twenty-two kilograms of clean meat costs eighty cents per catty, which makes a total of ninety-seven cents and six cents of silver.
Yunchao had already paid a deposit of two taels before, and now he only needed to give the butcher the meat vendor another seven taels.
A pig actually costs nearly ten taels, so the price is not cheap. Compared with a cow that can be bought for sixty-seven taels of silver, it is simply ridiculously expensive.
Pigs are more expensive than cattle, and I am afraid they can only appear in a farming and civilized society.
The Dawu Dynasty did not allow casual slaughter of cattle. Every cow had to be reported to the government. Once the cow died, the government would send someone to check it. Private slaughtering was not allowed at all.
Therefore, the price of a cow is not as good as that of a pig. If you really try to kill a cow casually, you won't be able to buy it for even 20 taels, not to mention six or seven taels!
When they learned that Yun Chao had spent nearly ten taels of silver to buy a pig, the villagers were almost shocked.
Because they can hardly afford meat, the villagers only know that pork is expensive, but they don’t know that it is so expensive. A pig is worth more than a cow!
No wonder Yun Er is a money-spreading boy, he just knows how to spread money!
I heard that Yun Chao wanted to treat Xiang Yong to eat meat, and the villagers who didn't choose Xiang Yong were almost jealous to death.
If I had known that Dang Xiangyong would have meat to eat, I would have signed up earlier!
Aunt Wang and Lin Youniang are now the heads of many women, and almost all the wives and sisters of Yun Chao's group of boys are their subordinates.
With more people and greater strength, it takes less time and a few large pots of food can be prepared.
Look at Xiang Yong who is training again. What a good guy, he is so tossed by the rocks that he is almost in a state of ecstasy. Let alone stabbing, he can’t even lift the hand holding the gun!
Seeing this scene, Yun Chao couldn't help but shook his head.
Many villagers are very weak and malnourished. If they want to make up for it, they have to feed themselves well for a few days.
Yun Chao didn't let everyone eat as much as they wanted. If the oil and water were too much at once, many villagers' stomachs might not be able to bear it.
Each person was given only half a bowl of pig water to boil dried radish, and the staple food was only two bowls and two rice.
The so-called ermi rice is steamed rice mixed with rice and millet. It has the taste of rice and the nutrition of millet. For villagers who have almost never eaten white rice, eating this is more in line with their taste.
Even though the lunch limit was limited, all the village heroes still ate so much that they almost didn’t cry.
So fragrant.
Is it so fragrant that it can make you swallow your tongue?
Not to mention the villagers who rarely eat meat or rice, even Zheng Tu, who often kills pigs and sells meat, almost bit his own cheek.
It turns out that pigs in the water can make such delicious food. I have been killing pigs for half my life, so how come I never knew about it?
Cooking pigs is a unique skill that Yun Chao taught Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang.
First use hot oil to sauté the spices until fragrant, then add various internal organs and stir-fry, and finally add water to boil. It’s strange that the pig offal is not fragrant.
Not to mention anything else, the meat vendor has never tasted just those spices. They are so expensive that they are not willing to buy them!
Borrow food, recruit workers, show force, treat everyone to eat meat...
After Yun Chao's series of tricks, almost all the local heroes have been won over by him.
By the time we gathered again in the afternoon, almost no one felt that hope was slim.
"Brother Chao, let's set off now, I'm full of energy now!"
