The captain of the mansion raised his chin to a team member behind him. The team member understood and walked forward with something in his hand.

Only then did everyone notice that the yaman was holding a tray covered with red silk.

The red silk was lifted up, revealing a bright and neatly arranged silver ingot.

Each silver ingot is about ten taels, and there are fifteen!

Although the villagers knew that Xie Xianhua got the first place in the exam, he was awarded 150 taels of silver.

But when you hear, how can you see it with your own eyes shock?

For a time, the Xie family courtyard became crowded.

"Fangfang, how about you tell me I'm going to a private school now?" A middle-aged and young man in his thirties whispered to his wife.

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife spat.

"I heard from my mother that when you heard that you were going to take you to a private school, you pretended not to go?"

Middle-aged and young man:...Mom really tells everything to her wife...

"Old woman, do we have any money left in our family?"

My grandfather, who has always been ignorant of financial power, suddenly worried about the number of deposits at home.

When the old lady who was thrifty and frugal in the family heard this, she immediately smiled proudly on her face.

Her face was full of wrinkles, stretching out like blooming chrysanthemum petals, slowly ensuring that she could say.

"Don't worry, old man, I'll make money with the maid a few times. Now even if all our grandchildren go to private schools, we can afford it."

When the old grandfather heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Is our family so rich? Why did I know the last one?

...

Talks like this sounded in every corner.

Qinglu villagers showed unprecedented enthusiasm for going to private schools to take the imperial examinations!

The men of the mansion twitched their lips when they heard it.

If the case leader is so easy to take the exam, they will definitely go back and quit their jobs immediately and take the exam.

I just saw that the Qinglu Villages looked full of longing and couldn't bear to break their dreams.

The yamen officers shook their heads, and when these people hit a wall, they knew that the case was thousands, or one of the tens of thousands, and they retreated.

"It's a matter of this. I need to worry about the food. I'll go to the yamen to collect it myself."

The captain of the Yamashiro bowed his fists and said goodbye to Xie Xianhua.

Xie Xianhua and the yamen clasped their fists and thanked them, and sincerely invited them.

"There will be a pig slaughter banquet tomorrow. If everyone doesn't dislike it, please enjoy it."

The captain of the Yamashita thought about it after hearing this.

It’s nothing to do tomorrow, plus Xie Xianhua and Ji Wu are both people whom the Prime Minister Bi wants to get along with...

The captain of the Yamashi planned to miss it, and Xie Xianhua and Ji Wu were weak and had a good chance of dealing with him.

He smiled and said to Xie Xianhua.

"The Prime Minister of Thanks case invites us to come and talk to you tomorrow and say goodbye."

After saying that, the captain of the mansion did not forget to ask a team member to drag the fainted Baoman away.

Seeing that the yamen were leaving, Ji Wu quickly handed over a purse.

The matter of sending a red seal to the yamen who reported the good news is the ritual of the family.

If the yamen who reported the good news will not be given a red seal, then others will be asked to speak out, and there is even a saying that the yamen who reported the good news will be given a red news agency.

The captain of the mansion took it calmly, and Ji Wu handed it over the red seal.

The purse fell into his hand, and the heavy feeling of the hand made the smile on Captain Yamama's face deepened.

I knew that Ji Wu would definitely give the red seal, but I didn’t expect that the red seal would be so big!

When Aunt Xie saw Ji Wu sending a red envelope to the Yamashiro, she remembered that there was also the saying that the person who reported the good news would like to pay the money.

She quickly took out all the broken silver on her body and handed it to the yamen.

When Xie Da and Xie Er saw this, they quickly paid for the money.

However, the two of them only had a little copper plate on them.

When Qiao and Bao saw their husbands, they both pursed their lips and smiled, took out five taels of silver, and handed it to their husbands.

Xie Da, Xie Er laughed and felt that his wife was so fond of her. Today is another day when she loved her wife more than yesterday.

Their actions of putting silver on the yamen are so generous!

The captain of the Yamashiro realized for the first time what it means to receive a red seal and receive a soft hand...

He had seen those who gave red seals, but he had never seen the family give several red seals.

Moreover, the amount of money given is not the same as the red seal that farmers should give???

The captain of the yamen was already thinking that the Tongsheng Mansion test was about to begin...

After going back this time, why don’t you transfer a class with other brothers?

Maybe Xie Xianhua can take the lead in the Tongsheng Mansion Examination again?

After the yamen left, the villagers were still immersed in the matter of the Xie family giving Hongfeng a lot.

They had an idea in their hearts at the same time...

The Xie family is no longer the same as before. We must follow the Xie family's footsteps in the future.

Past experience tells them that if they follow the Xie family and eat meat, they will definitely have soup to drink!

...

As the morning light began to fade, Butcher Zhang brought the tools early and came outside the Xie family courtyard.

The Xie family is going to hold a pig slaughter banquet today. They greeted him last night and asked him to come to work.

The fat pig that was about to be slaughtered was bought from the pig farmer last night and tied it under a big tree outside the yard. He was humming and wondering if the disaster was coming.

After Butcher Zhang greeted Aunt Xie who was getting up early, he set up a simple stove under the big tree to boil water.

Not long after, outside the Xie family courtyard, a group of villagers were gradually gathered around to watch the fun.

In addition to bringing our own tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and placing them outside the Xie family courtyard, we also have another purpose...

Watch Butcher Zhang perform his unique skills in killing pigs!!!

Butcher Zhang took the ancestral pig-killing knife and carried the wooden basin that brought the pig blood to the big tree outside the yard.

He didn't need anyone to help, and with a "hey!", he picked up the whole big fat pig that had been tied up, put it on the rigging frame, and pressed it down.

Butcher Zhang was moving quickly and the white knife suddenly stabbed into the carotid artery of the fat pig.

The bright red blood suddenly surged out and flowed into the blood-filled wooden tub.

It was not until some blood foam appeared and the pig stopped screaming that Butcher Zhang let go of the fat pig, grabbed a handful of salt into the pig's blood basin, and stirred it with a wooden stick.

After the pig's blood was released, butcher Zhang cut a cut on the pig's legs.

He used a shiny iron rod to penetrate the cut hole, poked the pig's body randomly, then bulged his cheeks and blew it in.

The originally fat big pig was blown away by Butcher Zhang, and it was so big that it grew!

When the four legs were tying, the water in the big iron pot also boiled.

Butcher Zhang laid a wooden board on the large iron pot, moved the fat pig to the large iron pot, and began to burn the hair.

After boiling hot water over the pig's hair, scrape it with a knife. Wherever the blade passes, the dirt pig's hair fades away, revealing the white-faced skin.

In the last step, the shaved fat pig was hung on the low tree branch with an iron hook, and the belly was broken...

The whole process of Butcher Zhang killing pigs was smooth and the villagers watching were particularly supportive.

There were cheers, one after another.

I don't know, I thought I was watching juggling!

After everyone watched Butcher Zhang dissect the big fat pig, they began to consciously divide the work and help the Xie family do something within their ability.

The garlic is pounded and the green onion is chopped, the garlic is pulp, the bowl is rinsed, and the children around him are smiling and making noise are very lively!

Ji Wu was also wearing a refreshing light-colored coarse cloth skirt, with a headscarf on her head, standing by the stove, ready to show off her skills.

In Ji Wu's opinion, the pig-killing dish here does not pay attention to ingredients and seasonings.

Everyone just cut the freshly killed pork into large pieces, cooked it and cut it into large slices and put it in the pot...

Then add cabbage to the pot while cooking, add water and salt.

After the meat is rotten and the vegetables are cooked, pour the filled blood sausage into the pot and cook it.
To be continued...
