Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

Xiong Da found that his daughter-in-law was in a trance recently.Just as he was about to ask, Wen Lun dragged him onto the kang: "Do you have many comrades who have retired from the army?"

The more Wen Lun thought about it, the more anxious he became.Xiong Dalai is a general.In the history books that Wen Lun has memorized, it is all about tens of thousands of people in a certain battle, tens of thousands of people in a certain battle, and millions of troops at every turn.Thinking about it this way, what can he do with just a few small hills?

Xiong Da fell down and lay flat, and instantly understood Wen Lun's entanglement: "What? Is there not enough money? Or is there something wrong?"

Wen Lun turned over, buried himself under the blanket, and said stiffly, "No. I have money." He still has two gold ingots!

Xiong Da pulled him into his arms and patted him on the back: "So what's the problem?"

Wen Lun was bored for a long time: "There is a shortage of everything on the mountain, and the house hasn't been built yet." Not to mention, the food stored in the house is enough for just a few of them to eat, and there will be no problem if there are more than ten people.But those soldiers who have retired from the army, can a dozen or so be able to stop it?Even if there are fifty or sixty, Wen Lun is not unusual.

Xiong Da is not worried.It is true that he is doing good deeds, but he has no intention of spending all of his wife's wealth on it.It's good for a daughter-in-law to have ideas.But how much general affairs can a daughter-in-law, a young master who is similar to a boudoir lady, know?These things need him to check, Jia Junshi and Master Hao are not stingy people.

In terms of colleagues, there are tens of thousands of them.But what can really be taken care of is a small part of the usual familiarity, and various issues such as distance must be considered.He still has some properties in other places, all of which are rewards from the imperial court.He didn't plan to do anything at first, but after his wife expressed her thoughts, he could arrange some people.

Retired soldiers are nothing if they look bad; most of those who come off the battlefield are missing arms and legs.Where is the Great Tea Village?In the depths of the [-]-mile mountain, even a healthy person would have to be exhausted to enter.Can these people just come in and work?The daughter-in-law is still counting on them to make money!

Xiong Da kissed Wen Lun on the forehead: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Wen Lun wanted to say, what's the use of having you; but looking at Xiong Da's face that has become more and more pleasing to the eye recently, the sound automatically disappeared for no reason.

In the next period of time, people arrived one after another.All of them are strong and strong, with fierce faces, and some of them seem to be pierced by scars, which is very terrifying.

The village head leads people the way every day, sometimes two or three times a day, which makes the two tremble with fear.Even Er Zhuzi, who was fostered in their family, was much more obedient than usual.

At first, Xiong Da was a little worried that the faces of his old subordinates would frighten Wen Lun.Unexpectedly, Wen Lun was just a little surprised.The three servants in the family felt a little uneasy, but seeing the master so calm, they had to save face for the master.

As the number of people gradually increased, various problems were also exposed.

Wen Lun no longer has the calmness of the young master, and walks around the house every day.In the end, as Xiong Da said, it is good to have Xiong Da.

Under Xiong Da's command, Wen Lun's piles of dowries were finally cleared out.The most numerous are all kinds of books and the Four Treasures of the Study.The quilt is just ready to use now.The boxes are put together, and the door panels are put on the shelves to form a whole shop.Although it is a bit crude, it is much better than the ranks.

The black-faced man's ears were red: "Sir, this place is good enough. There is also a charcoal basin, and the quilt is also thick!"

Wen Lun looked at this simple and honest man, his personality was almost introverted like a little girl.

A small herd of wild boars rushed down from the mountain yesterday, thanks to the presence of these people, otherwise it would have been enough to rely on the original few at home.Fortunately, the food delivered to the door not only ate up the stomachs of the whole house, but also sent half a piece of pork to the village chief.

The village chief has been frightened by leading the way these days, so he can eat some meat to suppress his shock.

In addition, they also harvested a wild boar, handed it over to the village chief, and distributed a little to each villager, so that they could have a good year. It was also a notice that these men would live in Dacha Village in the future.

Cannibals have short mouths.These villagers looked at these big men with fear and fear, but the meat in their mouths was the real thing.The closer to the beginning of spring, the more difficult the life of the villagers.Many families have already divided the limited food according to the day.When spring comes, there are wild vegetables on the mountain, and some people can also go down the mountain to find part-time jobs, and change some rice grains so that they can last until the autumn harvest.

The fields on the mountain are thin, and the production is limited.Taxes can be collected regardless of the thickness of the land, and food must still be paid.The villagers live a tight life all year round, and suddenly a piece of meat falls from the sky!There are also pig blood, pig blood, pig bones and so on. Although it is not a few catties distributed to each household, it really makes people smile.

But there are always some shameless...

"My family of six, why is it the same as the five of their family? No, you have to add some to me, village chief. I think this pork liver is not bad..."

"Bah! Shameless! There are six people in your family. My daughter-in-law is pregnant! The same is six! I didn't get one more point, what are you?"

The village chief slapped, and the thick-backed butcher's knife slammed down on everything, followed by a "du" sound, and embedded it into the cutting board: "Why are you arguing? No matter how much you are arguing, there will be no more noise! ​​Go away, I don't see anyone else. Haven't got it yet?"

Although people in the village usually don't take the village head seriously, but once the village head gets angry, it's quite frightening.The two cursed and fell silent for a moment.The remaining few who planned to follow suit also swallowed their words back.

That night, the whole village was filled with the smell of meat.

All Xiong Da kept at his house were specially selected young wild boars.It is not big, and the meat is not rough.Cuilian Bihe commanded a few strong men to help them, displaying their excellent cooking skills.

The strong men looked at the two-tiered dining table, which was obviously a big basin, and it looked similar to that in the barracks.But the taste has not yet entered the mouth, just looking at it is enough to stare.How can a few pieces of meat make a flower?Can this be eaten?This is for them to eat?

They have seen the fire soldiers cooking in the barracks.Use a shovel to stir-fry directly in a pot as big as a bathtub. I don’t know if it’s been washed, but it’s just cooked.The soup is also the same big pot, put what you have.If not, soak pancakes in a pot of hot water.If you go to the battlefield, you may not even have a safe time to eat.

Li Er doesn't care if the strong men are in a daze or in a daze.At his age, he was growing his body, and he might not be full even if he ate five meals a day.The chopsticks rolled up the sliced ​​meat like a harpoon, and it disappeared into the mouth in an instant.Cuilian Bihe had already reserved her own meal, chewing slowly on the sidelines.

Xiong Da and Wen Lun have always been at the same table alone.Although the dishes come out of one pot, the presentation is even more delicate.

During this time, Cuilian has also gradually grasped Wen Lun's taste, which is a combination of meat and vegetables, and doesn't like heavy oil.Other aspects don't matter.Among the masters, Wen Lun can be regarded as the kind that is easy to deal with.However, in this poor mountain valley, where can we get fresh vegetables in winter?Every day is Chinese cabbage Chinese cabbage Chinese cabbage.Cuilian was worried that her young master would soon turn into Chinese cabbage, so she had to do it differently every day.

Xiong Da knows the flesh of his daughter-in-law best.Sometimes he would think that his wife should eat with him in Guangsha, the capital, instead of following him in this ravine.

Xiong Da watched Wen Lun set aside the bowls and chopsticks before taking a few mouthfuls, and frowned: "Daughter-in-law, take two more mouthfuls?"

"I'm full." Wen Lun didn't feel anything.He eats less, not because of a bad appetite, but because of the limited amount of daily exercise and less consumption.No matter how poor Cuilian's culinary skills are, can it be worse than the school cafeteria?Cuilian's cooking skills are better than his mother's, definitely at the level of a small restaurant.

Xiong Da looked at his daughter-in-law's eating bowl, and frowned even tighter: "You don't eat as much as a donkey. Little chickens eat more than you."

Wen Lun stared.Why are you comparing him to a donkey?Don't you want to see how fat the donkey has become over the winter?Little chickens, don't you want to see how many little chickens there are now?Can he eat a group of chickens by himself?

Seeing that Wen Lun finished his meal, Li Er hurriedly put away his rice bowl and went to the kitchen to bring a kettle to make tea for Wen Lun.Rinse your mouth with a cup of warm water and cover your hands with a cup of tea.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiong Da has always felt that Wen Lun's health is not good.Wen Lun's hands and feet tend to get cold, even if he sleeps on the kang at night, his hands are still warm, if those feet are left alone, they will become like ice cubes in a short time.

Putting these aside, Wen Lun didn't have the reaction a man should have in the morning.Recently, the daughter-in-law didn't say everything to him on the kang, but there were still some half-pushed and half-hearted.As a result, until now, most of Xiong's eyes turned green, and he could only drink a sip of soup.

Huh?Xiong Da found that his wife's gaze was wrong: "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Wen Lun didn't move his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Look, it's fun." Before the voice was smooth or not, he thought he was dreaming.Later, seeing Xiong Da's old injury, coupled with Xiong Da's stern warning, he figured out his golden finger.Now I am in the same room with these strong men, and the old wounds on their bodies can be clearly seen just by listening to them, it feels very strange.

Bear narrowed his eyes.My daughter-in-law doesn't even look at herself, but at other wild men!Must be cleaned up!

Compared with the peace on the mountain, the atmosphere in Longzhou County below the mountain is much weirder.

In the eyes of the mountain people, the county town is a first-class and bustling place.But in the eyes of some people who have seen the world, Longzhou County is just a poor and remote place.These days, the strong men who came and went into the mountains did not hide their tracks, and they were ugly and had anti-reconnaissance skills.Whether it's the yamen servants in the county or the eyeliner of the county magistrate's mansion, none of them have found out why.They wanted to find out more, but these strong men with obvious characteristics disappeared instantly like fish swimming into the sea.

As soon as the two sides met, they immediately committed the mistake of smart people-overthinking.
