The soldiers can fill their stomachs on weekdays, but it is good to have a tooth ceremony occasionally.
It was the first time for almost everyone to encounter such a delicious and delicious meal like today.
They opened their cheeks and ate so happily. Occasionally their mouths were free and they would praise it non-stop.
"Sister-in-law is so amazing, and her skills are so good!"
"That's right, that's right, the imperial chef is probably only at this level!"
Li Laosi was extremely proud, "My wife's ancestors were from the imperial chef, and she is a fairy in the city. Guests are coming, you know? That's my eldest brother's restaurant. My wife cooks private dishes there. There is only one table every five days, and all the guests who have booked are reserved until after the new year!"
Everyone couldn't see how he was showing off. They are all brothers in life and death, so there is no need to worry about anything and just complain.
"You've said it so many times, we all know it by heart!"
"That's right, sister-in-law is the most powerful, what does that have to do with you?!"
"Huh, that's right, we thank sister-in-law, but we don't thank you!" Wei Erniu It was Hanhan who added this, causing Li Laosi to snatch the chicken leg from his hand and eat it in one bite.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the lively courtyard was like a pot boiling.
The village chief uncle couldn't help but sigh, "We were just like these boys when we were young. At that time, Old Zhao was the toughest, and we wanted to beat him up every day. Now, he is really old!"
"Uncle is not old, and nothing else. He said, inside and outside our village, we are counting on uncle to help!" Li Laoer quickly changed his topic and asked about trivial matters in the village, "Uncle, we have almost bought the stone and wood, should we build new houses for the boys in the village? Li
Laoer asked while pouring wine for the village chief uncle.
The village chief nodded and replied: "Uncle, if you are not coming back today, I want to ask you to tell me something. There are hundreds of guests in the hot spring valley every day, and they have to pass through the village when entering or leaving. This is a bit uncomfortable. .
"In case that guest has evil intentions, we really can't prevent him. Let's see if we can open another road, bypass our village, and go directly to the hot spring valley.
"Whenever a boy in our village gets married again, we will arrange to build a new house at the intersection next to the archway. In this way, whether someone comes to visit or looking for trouble, they will not rush directly to the door of the house, and someone will stop them first. Stop it, right?"
These words reminded Li Laoer that the road leading to the hot spring valley passed through the village, and there were indeed hidden dangers.
There is nothing secretive about what happens in the village in the eyes of outsiders, and it is easy for others to take advantage of it.
Moreover, the young men of each family were getting married, and the townhouses were not spacious at first, but they became even narrower after the wing rooms were built.
When several generations are crowded together, conflicts are inevitable and it is easy to cause quarrels and disagreements.
It would be a good idea to assign young people to intersections and build a small village where they can guard the intersections or the melon fields.
"Uncle is right. After dinner, let's go for a walk to the intersection to see if there is a suitable place to build a house."
Li Laoer agreed, making the village chief smile and nod repeatedly.
Soon, everyone had eaten and drank enough, and it was time to say goodbye.
Li Yong also wanted to have a wedding banquet at Wei's house, but firstly, he had just arrived home, and secondly, the child still had a low fever that had not gone away, so he was worried.
So he asked Madam Hui to go home and get two pieces of cloth and a silver ingot as his congratulatory gift, and asked Li Laosi to take them with him.
The soldiers mounted their horses one after another, and the things prepared by the Li family were properly packed into baskets and distributed to a few soldiers who acted steadily, and they set off. Tao Hongying led people to clean up the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, while Li Laoer and Mrs. Li followed the village chief to the archway to look at the terrain.
Jiayin, of course, pulled her adoptive father's sleeve and skipped to the next door to whisper.
The shrimp porridge she had cooked for most of the morning was also brought to her.
There were many people at the banquet, but they didn't eat much.
At this moment, the father and daughter were sitting under the eaves of the verandah, chatting and slowly drinking porridge. They were both content and happy.
"Fu Niu'er, your second uncle said that you have recently been studying with Divine Doctor Zhang?" the Marquis asked.
Jiayin thought for a while, and she probably couldn't hide the incident in the palace from her adoptive father. She didn't want to hide it either, so she said, "Yes, before, I just wanted to identify the medicinal materials with Grandpa Zhang. I want to try growing medicinal materials, especially They are the main medicinal materials used to make hemostatic drugs.
"Grandpa Zhang was idle at that time and taught me many tricks. I happened to be delivering melons to the palace, and the third princess bullied me, so I pricked the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet. She hurt. Like killing a pig.
"After I came back, I told my second uncle, who persuaded my grandma to let me learn more from Grandpa Zhang. Grandpa Zhang also promised to teach me, but it turned out that he wanted to study some weird prescription again, and he thought I wasted my time, so he threw it away. I was asked to memorize a medical book..."
Jiayin was a little frustrated, pouting her little mouth, and complained: "This old man is really unethical. He ate so many good things from our house and asked my second uncle to build a yard for him. Then I think it's troublesome to teach my disciples!"
The Marquis heard this funny, rubbed her hair, gave her the shrimps in his bowl, and said: "I will go to Xindu with me tomorrow for a day trip, and you don't have to worry about Doctor Zhang. The adoptive father has a way to make him treat you as an ancestor in the future.
"Whatever you want to learn, he will teach you!" If you don't want to learn, he will chase you and beg you to learn!
"Seriously? " "Jiayin's eyes were shining brightly, she was grinning and shouting, "My foster father is so awesome!" "
Eat quickly. After eating, go back and look for some nice clothes and jewelry. Dress up and go to the city with your adoptive father tomorrow." In addition, have you not taken care of the business of the Hou Mansion for a long time? Please sort out the account books and give me half of the money earned. " There was a dark color in the eyes of the Marquis.
He drank up the porridge in his hand, put down the bowl, and said: "Of the soldiers who went out with me this time, more than 500 were killed in battle, 200 were seriously injured, and more than 600 were slightly injured. The national treasury is empty and the pension money will not be very large. I have to supplement some privately. "
Jiayin's heart tightened, and the porridge in her mouth suddenly didn't taste fresh or fragrant.
It wasn't that she felt sorry for Yinzi, but she couldn't help feeling sad.
She was very happy that her adoptive father and father had returned victorious.
But for the sake of victory, she still had to There are many people who stayed in the land of Jiangbei, or became disabled people like Grandpa Zhao and others.
War has always been cruel, and there is nothing beautiful at all...
"Father, the second uncle's Baiyuan Garden was almost destroyed before. The bad guys are destroying it, and they have been trying to find some nursing homes. If there are suitable ones among the wounded soldiers this time, please help my second uncle choose a few.
"And uncle and his fleet going south often encounter water bandits and need protection. Uncle also wants to buy a yard in Quanzhou so that he can take care of the family's business. There must be a shortage of manpower.
"If it doesn't work, we can leave more at Zhengjiazhuang . Some people, within a year or two, I will have a lot of work for Zhengjiazhuang to help with, and they all need manpower..."
Jiayin said a little anxiously, wishing that all the wounded soldiers could be resettled in a moment, and I don't want these soldiers to bleed and sacrifice for the country. The heroes of the world no longer shed tears because of their helplessness in life.
The Marquis laughed as he listened, and the heaviness in his heart slowly disappeared due to the eagerness of the fat girl...
