Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes
Chapter 12. Chinese New Year
At dawn, the old and weak who had fled to the back mountain returned to the village, and were shocked when they saw the corpse lying on the ground at the entrance of the village.
Fortunately, there are no relatives in these corpses, so I feel relieved.
The bandits who came this time were ambushed at the entrance of the village, and a total of more than 30 people were killed.
As for the villagers, only four people died at the scene, and there were more than a dozen injured. It is estimated that a few more people will die in the end.
This is already the best result. If it is not prepared in advance to ambush at the entrance of the village, the bandits will enter the village in the middle of the night. Without organization, the village is very likely to be trampled by the bandits.
Afterwards, everyone counted the corpses of the bandits, only to find that half of the corpses were hacked or stabbed to death by Zhang He and Zhang Laotou.
At this moment, in the eyes of the villagers, Zhang He's small body of less than 1.3 meters was already like the god of war descending.
Sure enough, people with fairy fate are always so different.
As for the old man Zhang who secretly stabbed someone behind Zhang He, he has been automatically ignored.
All the clothes of more than thirty bandits were stripped off, and the corpses were dug into a big pit and buried.
A total of 15 winter clothes, more than 30 sets of single clothes, and more than a dozen quilts were confiscated.
Although these things are a bit old, they are still a considerable amount of wealth. Even after depreciation, the value can at least be consistent.
A total of more than two hundred coins were found on these people.
In addition, the most valuable thing is that twenty-three knives were confiscated, including kitchen knives, hatchets, pig-killing knives, and a three-foot-long big knife.
These knives can be sold for at least two pennies in the market.
Dozens of dry pancakes were also found from these bandits. Although some blood was stained on them, the villagers didn't mind, and they divided them among the young men who participated in the battle on the spot.
In the end, the young and strong who died in battle in the village will each receive 500 Wen as a pension, and the injured will each receive 150 Wen as compensation.
This figure is almost the same practice that the surrounding villages have been implementing.
Later, three more wounded died, and a total of seven people died. They needed a pension of 3,500 yuan, plus the injury pension, a total of about 50 yuan.
The value of the items harvested now is a little more than three guan, but it has not yet been converted into copper coins.
The people in the village tried their best to find out their old background, but they couldn't come up with the money. After all, each household pays about 200 Wen on average. Few households have such a large amount of financial resources. But that's all.
Seeing that everyone really couldn't come up with the money, Zhang He could only donate generously and donate another 200 catties of sweet potatoes to settle the matter.
This also made old man Zhang beat his chest with heartache behind his back.
Since this battle, whether it is Zhang He's combat effectiveness, or the relationship with Xianyuan, or financial resources.
He has established a high prestige in Zhangjialing Village, and he will come to seek Zhang He's opinion on many major events in the village.
No matter how hard the cold winter is, there will always be a time to get over it, and soon it will be the New Year's day in this world.
In this world, there are no firecrackers for Chinese New Year, but there is a custom of paying New Year's greetings, but gift giving is not popular, and everyone will have a good meal behind closed doors.
This New Year's meal is the only full meal throughout the year.
The last time Zhang He bought an old hen and brought it home, the old man Zhang was reluctant to kill it, so he insisted on keeping it for the Chinese New Year.
Up to now, a lot of sweet potatoes have been fed to the chickens, but not a single egg has been laid, but the chicken has also been fattened up a lot.
Before killing the chicken, old man Zhang sharpened the kitchen knife again and again, and bowed three times in all directions. Then he grabbed the chicken wings and said a few auspicious words, and then killed the chicken with one knife.
On the same day, old man Zhang put the chicken in a clay pot and simmered it over a low fire for most of the day, making the chicken completely crispy.
The smell of simmering chicken spread throughout Zhangjialing by the wind, making the villagers in Zhangjialing salivate wildly.
father,
Let you taste something you have never eaten before, guaranteed to make you unforgettable.
Zhang He felt that it was too monotonous to eat only one chicken during the Chinese New Year. He thought that there were still some new things in the space, but he hadn't eaten them yet.
Is there anything better than this chicken?
At this moment, old man Zhang had a piece of chicken bone in his mouth, and he was chewing it carefully and swallowing it together with the chicken soup.
Chicken is only eaten once in a few years, and it is impossible to throw away the bones.
When plucking the feathers, old man Zhang even plucked a chicken feather and chewed it in his mouth. It was really inedible.
However, he still didn't intend to throw away the chicken feathers. Instead, he put them away and planned to save two feet of linen to make a warm vest.
Zhang He knew that the old man was used to careful planning, and it was useless to persuade him, so he let him go.
At this time, Zhang He fumbled for a while, took out two bags of instant noodles and put them on the table.
Is this what you said I'll never forget?
Old man Zhang picked up a pack of instant noodles and looked left and right. Although it was very beautiful, he didn't think there was anything delicious about it, and he even felt that there was nothing to eat.
Zhang He picked up another package, tore open the outer package, and poured out the golden bread and three packages of seasonings inside.
Old man Zhang carefully picked up the noodle cake and looked it up and down. Looking at the noodles of even thickness and layered together, he was puzzled.
How did this come about?
At this time, the water in the clay pot had boiled, Zhang He put two pieces of bread into the pot, and then tore apart a packet of seasoning and put it inside.
Old man Zhang picked up a sauce bag, licked the remaining sauce into his mouth, and smacked his lips.
My mother! It's all big oil, even if you cook a handful of dried wild vegetables, it's delicious with so much oil.
You have to have a family property like Master Wan's to dare to eat like this!
At this time, bursts of fragrance were already wafting from the clay pot, old man Zhang couldn't help but approached and tried to inhale.
After smelling this fragrance, he completely believed Zhang He's words, and this meal was definitely enough for him to blow his whole life.
The most alluring thing about instant noodles is its scent, which blows into every household in Zhangjialing along with the wind.
A young man is shoveling rice into his mouth. He can only eat one full meal a year. He needs to eat at least three catties of rice, even if he is hungry, it is worth it.
At this moment, a seductive fragrance wafted in. The young man shrugged his nose and took a few deep breaths. He didn't know what food in the world could be so fragrant.
Immediately, I felt that the corn and rice in my hand was no longer fragrant, and tasted like chewing wax.
This situation of young people is not an exception, anyone who is close to old man Zhang's house has suffered.
At this time, old man Zhang picked up a bowl of instant noodles and ate them in small mouthfuls, afraid that he couldn't help it, so he finished it in three or two mouthfuls.
No wonder everyone says that immortals are good. If immortal teachers can have this kind of instant noodles for every meal, who wouldn't want to be an immortal teacher?
Based on old man Zhang's limited knowledge, he felt that the immortal master should just eat sweet potatoes and instant noodles every day without having to work.
After this year, even if winter is over, the temperature will slowly warm up next.
Farmers who have been nestled at home for a whole winter can finally get out of their thatched huts and start farming for the new year.
Zhang He was thinking, he should find a way to get a piece of land, if there is no land, it can only be duckweed in the water without a foundation.
