Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 686: Eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks

Zhou Guo looked at Qian Duo, who seemed to have a sore on his buttocks, and asked, "Do you want to go out and take a look too?"

Qian Duo immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go and take a look."

He ran away in a flash.

At this time, only Zhou Guo and the old man were left in the room.

Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Master, why don't you pinch me? I still can't believe that I am the head of this village. I didn't want to be the head of this village."

The old man took a sip of hot water. God bless you, there was not even tea leaves on the mountain. Hearing this, he said, "You think it's easy to be the boss? You have to make sure they eat and drink well. Otherwise, how can they obey you? Aren't they just after your money? Maybe later on, your uncle will be the first to send troops to suppress them."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You can come for my money. I don't have anything else but money. I can afford to support more than 200 people. Besides, they can not only eat but also work. Just think about it. If we have them, we won't have to worry about shipping the goods at home. As for the problem you mentioned, we can just change the name. It's not a problem."

The old man took another sip of hot water, and when he heard the noise coming from outside, he couldn't wait any longer, so he got off the kang and said, "Let's go and take a look. How can it be more lively than during the Chinese New Year?"

The two walked out.

The whole village was busy, all that was left was to hang up the lights and decorations, and everyone was laughing.

The old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "You bought this position as the boss with your own money, right? You bought so many people with two pigs, two sheep and a few jars of wine. The money you pay for recruiting people in the military camp is not that little."

Zhou Guo disagreed, "How can it be bought? It's obvious that it was fought for. Have you forgotten that I fought four people alone in the first half of the day, and none of them were my match. They were defeated by me? Besides, I gave them twenty taels. The key is to keep them well fed and clothed later. I'm also working hard."

When slaughtering the pig, they didn't want to waste even a drop of the pig's blood; they collected it all.

When it was getting dark, the pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and the rice was steamed.

Several chefs are already busy.

The helpers, some cutting meat, some washing vegetables, some cleaning drains were all busy.

Zhou Guo looked and saw that there were people busy marinating the meat, and it was obvious that they were very skilled at it.

Spread salt on it and smoke it to make bacon, which can be kept for a long time. Whenever you want to eat it, just cut off a few pieces and eat it.

However, she looked at the people in the village, all of them were men, and felt that the salt was a bit of a waste. It would be gone in a few days, so why bother?

It was getting dark, and the aroma continued to waft out from the kitchen, making everyone drool.

Even Zhou Guo's stomach started growling.

The old man said, "The chefs in this village are really good. Many things that are not available in a pot can be fried so deliciously."

Zhou Guo agreed, "Why don't I go and learn from him? How can you remove the fishy smell from the water without anything?"

Soon, tables were set up in every room.

It was the time when autumn was getting deeper. We were in the mountains, so it was a bit chilly in the evening.

Everyone put tables in each room, lit the kang, and crowded together on the kang to drink wine and eat meat while it was hot.

There is nothing else in the mountains, but plenty of firewood. With so many of them, they can bring back enough firewood for a month in just one day.

Zhou Guo, the old man, Qian Duo and a few others were squeezed at the top, and sitting at the same table were several small leaders in the village, including the third in command, Lai Zi Tou.

The people below filled their bowls with wine and toasted Zhou Guo and the old man respectively, "Boss, old man, this meal is all thanks to you. I don't know how to talk. Anyway, we are all very happy that you can come to be our boss. Let us toast you a bowl of wine."

As he said this, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Zhou Guo smiled and took a sip. The low-quality wine was very spicy, and his throat felt like it was cut by a knife. He smiled calmly and said, "I don't drink, but I'm just saying it for your own good. Please feel free to do as you please."

Everyone at the table toasted one by one.

Finally, it’s about having a lot of money.

He also picked up his own wine bowl and said, "Boss, there is nothing more to say. I have said everything I need to say. The rest is in the wine. You can drink it as you like."

He tilted his head back and gulped down the entire bowl of wine without spilling a drop.

After drinking it, he poured himself another bowl and toasted the old man with one bowl.

After eating a few bites of the food, he couldn't help but pour himself a bowl and toasted Zhou Guo again.

Zhou Guo is eating pork kidneys with great flavor. They are crispy and delicious, and there is no strong fishy smell at all. This taste is authentic.

After taking a few bites, Qian Duo started to toast him with bowls of wine.

After a few bowls, she couldn't help but said, "Second Master, if you want to drink, just drink. You don't have to offer me every bowl. I can't drink either. I'm still so young. My mother doesn't let me drink at home."

Qian Duo felt a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "I am happy today. I am happy."

He turned to the bald man and said, "Come on, Third Master, let's drink together."

The bald man was very happy. He accepted all the food and drank bowl after bowl.

Originally, we only bought more than twenty jars of wine, and there was only one jar per table.

The two bosses drank bowl after bowl, and the rest of the people could only watch. They had only drunk two bowls and did not have the courage to snatch from the two bosses. They could only drink the wine in the bowl bit by bit, for fear that they would finish it in one gulp.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Guo picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come, I'll toast to everyone. From now on, we are all brothers in the same village. We must share the good and the bad."

"Blessings and hardships are shared together!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and finished it.

Of course, Zhou Guo only took a sip. The wine tasted very bad and she couldn't drink much.

He picked up the remaining wine in the bowl and said to Qian Duo and Lai Zi Tou, "Come on, toast with me."

"Okay." The two men picked up their wine bowls and followed her to the rooms.

They toasted from room to room.

At this moment, everyone admired Zhou Guo from the bottom of their hearts. Not only was he good at boxing, but the most important thing was that he had money and could do big business. He gave them twenty taels of silver at a time and let them eat and drink as much as they wanted.

I am willing to be called the boss.

Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, "Hello everyone, from now on we are all one family, from now on if I eat, you will eat too, if I have meat to eat, I can't let you eat coarse food, we share the good and the bad together."

"We share the good times and the bad times together."

"We share the good times and the bad times together."

In the dark night, the sound came from far away.

After the meal, it was late at night.

No one in the village slept much last night. After clearing the table, they fell asleep on the kang.

Zhou Guo and the old man fell on Qian Duo's kang with their clothes on and fell asleep together with Qian Duo.

Silent all night.

When she woke up the next day, it was still dark. She got up and ran to the big rock on the back mountain to practice breathing exercises.
