Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

The two in the yard shrugged their noses and waited quietly.

Leng Yi and Leng Er, who had retreated from the corridor to the door of the wing room and were guarding with swords, stared calmly at the two wolfhounds that had inexplicably broken into the yard.

The young lady also wanted to give them meat to eat, meat that even they found dizzy with its fragrance.

Li Changle waited in the house until the pork leg in the casserole was heated before taking it out.

"Woooo..."

The little wolf whimpered softly around her.

"Don't make a sound like 'woohoo'. If you get chopped to pieces later, it won't be my fault. Do you see that brave warrior with a stern look on his face over there?"

"Big wolf, come here quickly. It's time to eat the meat." She poured the meat into a wooden basin. "Go back early after you finish eating. I'm afraid someone will come to ask about what happened when it's daybreak."

The big and small wolves lowered their heads to sniff, then began to eat.

"Is it delicious?" Li Changle squatted in the corridor and watched the two guys eat. "This big pork leg is the biggest one. I want to thank you for giving me so many wild animals."

"Woo..."

"You are so stubborn. I told you to stop meowing..." Li Changle patted the little wolf's head. The little wolf's fur was shiny and slippery, and it felt especially good to touch.

"Woooo..."

The humming sound became lower and lower, as if it understood what Li Changle said.

But the only responses they could give were "wooo" and "woo".

After eating the meat, the two cats even licked the bowl.

Li Changle was extremely happy to receive such support.

After eating, both of them liked the taste of the meat. The savior also came to visit, and the big and small wolves walked under the courtyard wall hand in hand.

Li Changle called out to them: "I'll open the gate for you. Why are you always jumping over the wall?"

Leng Yi: "Madam, there are still a bunch of things outside the door."

The big and small wolves looked back at Li Changle in the corridor, kicked their legs, and went out of the yard.

Li Changle: "..."

This aroused her desire to build a higher wall.

She asked Leng Yi to go outside the yard to see what was there.

Leng Yi opened the yard and went out for a while, then came back and told her, "Madam, there are two wild boars outside the yard..."

Li Changle scratched the back of his head. "I feel unworthy. I just spent a little bit of plaster, but in return I got so much flesh from him..."

Leng Yi and Leng Er went out silently and carried the two wild boars into the yard, and would deal with them at daybreak.

"Wow, it looks fat and strong. There must be a lot of prey deep in the Daqing Mountains, otherwise it wouldn't be so fat."

Li Changle waved his hand at the two of them, "I need to go back to sleep, it's not even daybreak yet. Who of you will be on night watch? Go to Wang's house and Muramasa's house at daybreak and ask them to come and deal with these things."

Leng Yi Leng Er agreed, and Li Changle went back to bed yawning.

The three people on the roof quietly retreated back into the darkness.

I was amazed by this conversation between man and wolf.

-

At daybreak, many villagers came in groups of three or four to inquire about the movements of the wolfhounds.

But this time, no one was worried that the people in the Li family courtyard might encounter any accidents.

They are protected by two strong men who carry swords every day.

Another thing is that this person is definitely here to deliver wild animals.

Sure enough, the villagers who had made this guess felt so sour in their back teeth when they saw the scene in the yard!

There were actually more wild animals than the previous two times, including two wild boars alone.

This is so fat!

Several people in the yard were already collecting wild animals by the well.

When they rushed over, they called Hu Liangmu over as well. After the wild animals were collected, they asked him to collect the fur and tan it slowly.

This time Guihua came with a few brothers. As soon as she arrived in the yard, she went into the kitchen.

First, he boiled two large pots of water, and when the water boiled, he poured it to the people who were collecting wild animals in the yard. He then boiled another pot and used the other pot to make breakfast for the two children who were sleeping soundly.

When Li Changle woke up, the yard was already bustling with activity. Li Shixi had gotten up earlier than her and was squatting by the well watching people work.

She went into the kitchen and was very happy to find Guihua had also come.

"Sister Guihua, it's a good thing you came here. I'll be busy today."

She was holding Guihua's arm. She had just woken up and had a sweet and innocent scent on her body. It looked like she was acting coquettishly with her.

The sweet-scented osmanthus is so cute that it makes you feel shocked.

She pushed Li Changle to wash up and said, "I've made chicken porridge for you. My cooking skills are not as good as yours, but you are not allowed to complain."

Li Changle didn't think so. In the middle of winter, she could eat ready-made food after waking up. She just had a bowl of white porridge without any side dishes, and it was enough for a meal. How worry-free.

After washing up, she sat in front of the stove, drinking a bowl of porridge.

So comfortable.

The chicken is a pheasant that was caught in the yard that morning. It is chopped into small pieces and fried in a pan until the moisture is dry. Then it is cooked with water and brown rice. It is also topped with finely chopped ginger and green garlic sprouts.

After eating a bowl, I feel relaxed all over.

"Sister Guihua, can you cook a pot of brown rice porridge like this for everyone for lunch, and also steam a basket of steamed buns?"

She looked and saw that there were quite a few hares and pheasants, so she offered them as a snack for everyone.

Osmanthus poured the boiling water in the pot into the wooden barrel and added water to the pot to boil again.

"Madam Li, I am your long-term worker in our family now. Just tell me what work I should do. I can eat whatever I want, but I don't have to eat well every time. Madam Li, you are too practical."

Li Changle blinked, and someone advised her not to be so realistic.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't it possible to be nicer to them?

In the end, I decided to make chicken porridge and steam a pot of steamed buns made from corn and coarse flour.

If Guihua were to say so, she would give everyone two steamed buns to eat and two bowls of hot water to drink, which would be enough to last for half a day...

After finishing his breakfast, Li Changle came to the gate of the courtyard.

There were quite a few people standing outside. When they saw her come out, they all called her Madam Li, and Li Changle herself was in a trance.

It’s as if I’m very familiar with everyone.

In fact, she looked around the crowd, but apart from the master and servant of Wei Mancheng, the old wife of Muramasa, Bai, and Hu Liangmu's sister-in-law whom she met when the carriage passed through the village that day, she didn't recognize anyone else...

Is she a little lonely...

She came back to her senses and remembered the purpose of her coming out.

It doesn’t matter whether she knows him or not. No one came to get to know her.

"Everyone, as you can see, Brother Wolfhound is here to bring me food again.

Well, there are two wild boars, and I plan to sell one.

But it’s cold today and the roads are hard to walk on, so I thought I’d just sell it in my own yard. If anyone wants to eat meat, just come over and cut some.

I don’t make much money from everyone, 8 cents per pound, 5 cents lower than the county.”

This is really half-sale and half-giveaway.

Couldn't be better.

No matter how good you are, you will be taken advantage of.

"8 cents? It's indeed cheaper than in the county."

"Yes, pork in the county costs 13 cents per pound, which is cents cheaper than in previous years."

The crowd suddenly became noisy. Some people who were quick to speak had already made reservations. No matter how much meat there was in the yard, it was not theirs. It was okay to be envious, but it was wrong to be jealous.

"Madam Li, leave two for me."

"I want the one with more fat."

"Hey, eight cents a pound? Leave two strips for me, too."

"I want one too."

"… I'm so stingy. It's only 8 cents a pound. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get that again. Madam Li, please leave a pork leg for my family."

This voice sounded familiar, Li Changle looked around...

It was the young man who followed Wei Mancheng.

Jixiang followed his master all the way from the south, but he is not an ordinary family's servant. He and Lin Hai beside Gu Jingyan are all-round followers.

"Okay, I'll keep them all for you." Li Changle nodded to Jixiang.

"Come in order, wait till the pork is all packed up."

Mrs. Bai stood on tiptoe and looked into the yard. Her son Hu Chunshan was also a farmhand in Mrs. Li's family. She wondered if he could get a discount on the meat.

"Madam Li, I also cut two... two strips."

She originally wanted to cut one, but she was afraid of being laughed at by people around her. After all, her old man was the village chief of Lushui Village, and he still had to save face.

The young man just said that cutting a strip is very stingy...

She likes to take advantage of others and is a bit stingy, but she should be more restrained in public.

But some people don't think so.

"Madam Li, you got this wild boar for free. Eight cents per pound is not a small amount. You also made a profit at five cents per pound. Why don't you give the head to everyone first?"

Li Changle was about to go back to the courtyard, but after hearing this, he turned around and looked at the woman in the crowd.

Bai opened his mouth.

who?

Why is his face bigger than hers?

Do you want to eat for free?

She didn't even dare to think about it. If she dared to ask like that, wouldn't she be severely scolded by the old man when she returned?

Shameful...

She found the man at the back of the crowd.

"The daughter-in-law of the old patriarch, what do I think..."

"You are even worse than me..." She pointed at Hu Gui's family.

He swallowed the word shameless back into his stomach in time.

I almost scolded myself...

Mrs. Du from Hu Gui's family glanced at Mrs. Bai and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you pointing at me? What did I say wrong?"

Li Changle didn't know this person, but her arrogant attitude irritated her.

Take what is given to you.

Even if I don't give it to you, you will suffer.

She sold meat to them at a price several cents less than that of the pork stalls in the county, and she had a clear conscience.

Everyone in her courtyard loves to eat meat, so it’s okay for her to save some and eat it slowly.

It's just that she felt that the villagers of Lushui Village were the first service group of her system mission, and usually few people came here to make trouble, so she thought that as the New Year was approaching, she would ask everyone to buy two pieces of meat and add them to the dish.

To be honest, she felt that her behavior was quite kind.

The system must be so relieved.

system:" …… "

I am really relieved that the host takes the initiative to be kind to others!

Li Changle's eyes turned, he looked at Bai, and said with a double meaning:

"Auntie, you don't have to cut the meat. Your sons, Chunshan and Wang, will be my long-term workers in the future. Each of them can get two pieces of meat. We won't have to spend any money."

There was silence in front of the courtyard gate, and then the noisy sound became louder and louder.

The topic suddenly changed from cutting meat to how much the long-term workers in Li's family were paid?

Why would the son of the Muramasa family work as a farmhand for others?

Someone asked Li Changle if he needed a long-term worker. He could do it.

Good guy!

This way, the Wang family can get 8 pieces of pork...

This is really...

Many people's eyes were already shining.

If Lady Li also hired them to work...

Mrs. Bai was so happy that her mouth was crooked. Although there were always some people who liked to say sour words and pour cold water on her, as long as she had the benefits in hand, she didn't care what was wrong with her son being a farmhand.

The old man and his son have their own considerations.

The old man is a village official, but his honest character makes him earn very little money all year round, and he never sees any benefits. Sometimes he even has to take on a lot of things to worry about.

"Madam Li is right. My son Qingshan is busy in the courtyard right now...

What about wages? Food and lodging are provided, and the monthly salary is one tael of silver. During the New Year holidays, there are food to bring back. It is said that starting from next year, there will be an extra two months of wages at the end of the year."

Two months' wages, that is an additional reward of two taels of silver.

This job is really good. Nowadays, if you go to the county to find odd jobs and can bring back 20 or 30 cents a day, it is considered very good. That can be several hundred or even a thousand cents a month.

About one or two taels of silver.

But we have to have lunch in the county. If we are porters, we will not have the energy to carry the goods without lunch.

In addition, it takes more than two hours to travel back and forth every day.

Apart from the embarrassment of sometimes only being able to bring back ten or twenty cents, or even a few cents.

If everyone rushes to do the work, labor costs will become worthless.

Moreover, listen to what Bai said, there are free meals, free lodging, and a reward of 2 taels of silver.

Isn’t it true that no one can get two pieces of pork for free?

It's really the envy of others!

I'm afraid you'll be unable to get this job even if you try your best.

Li Changle looked directly at Mrs. Du and said:

"Once this wild boar is in my hands, it is mine. I have the final say on whether to give it to you or sell it.

You don't have to worry about this, auntie. If you think the meat is too expensive, you can buy something cheaper."

Mrs. Du was so angry that she almost died.

She was just trying to say a few words, but the other party told her directly not to buy meat.

Nowadays, not only do people feel ashamed to buy meat, but they also feel jealous of others who get it for free.

She said with a stiff face and a twitching mouth:

"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, but just saying that, Madam Li is really too narrow-minded..."

Leng Yi was standing aside. He couldn't help himself and held the sword in front of him, "Get out!"

Mrs. Du was so frightened that she fell to the ground. "You... you, you, you, what do you want to do? This is Lushui Village. Why do you outsiders act so arrogantly?"

"Auntie, may I ask if Hu Gui is home today?"

A voice came into Du's ears through the noisy crowd.

She was startled and looked back.

A handsome man in white stood not far behind her. When he saw her looking over, he smiled at her and said, "Wei has some old things that I want to discuss with him..."

"I, I won't buy meat anymore, I won't buy it!"

Mrs. Du got up from the ground and ran towards the village without looking back.

Today, Hu Gui's damn man happened to be at home. Although she disliked him in every way, she would not send her man away to be settled with others.

What if you get someone disabled?

I won't have to wait on her then.

Someone said, "I saw Hu Gui come back yesterday."

Li Changle didn't know why, but Du ran away in embarrassment, saving her from wasting words with the other party.

"Everyone wait a moment, we will start selling the wild animals once they are collected."

She looked at Wei Mancheng's master and servant intentionally or unintentionally, nodded slightly in greeting, and returned to the yard.
