Xu Dalang hesitantly looked at the two sisters' backs as they left, but rarely followed them.
After getting along with each other for such a long time, he developed a sense of trust in the humans in his family, and felt that they would not harm Xu Yue, so he gradually stopped watching so closely.
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang quietly followed Zhao Er and his son. The father and son did not notice at all. They just looked at the wool that was returned in the car with a sad face and thought about how to explain to the villagers.
Before the father and son reached the village, they met the villagers waiting impatiently at the entrance of the village.
There were five or six people, all dressed similarly to Zhao Er and his son, with dark faces and tall and thin figures, nakedly showing the poverty of their lives.
As for this group, they should be living a better life in the village. At least they still have two complete linen clothes to cover their bodies, instead of the kind where the clothes are full of holes.
In comparison, Zhao Er and his son were even more embarrassed than them.
The father and son probably didn't expect that everyone would be waiting at the entrance of the village. They hadn't thought about their words yet, and when they first saw these people, their faces became more and more panicked.
It's just that everyone saw the linen bag on the wheelbarrow from a distance and already guessed that the wool was not taken away. Although they were disappointed, they didn't complain.
Instead, he asked Zhao Er a little worriedly: "The family is not angry with us, is it? They are relatives of the master's family. If they are angry and tell the master's family about this, then we..."
Speaking of this, several people were obviously a little panicked. One of them pointed at a short man with a black birthmark on his face, but a shrewd look in his eyes and cursed:
"Old Wutou, it's all your fault for the blind idea. It's okay now. I've offended someone, and we'll suffer a lot in the future!"
It was a difficult life to begin with. I had to pay 50% of my hard work all year round, and the remaining 50% was not enough for the family.
In this regard, their owners are kind. The second master next door collects 55% every year.
But if there is such a fuss now, maybe their 50% will become 55%!
Old Wutou, who had come up with the idea, was immediately scolded by his companions.
He didn't expect that everyone would turn against each other and refuse to recognize each other, and he angrily retorted to a few people:
"I promised you not to do it if you were afraid, but when I heard that there was money to be made, both of them patted their chests and promised to take care of things together. Well, now that something happened, you blame me?"
"Did I force you to come together? Why don't you blame me? It's shameless!"
As soon as Laowutou outputted his message, several people were immediately stunned into silence.
Several people looked at the wool that was returned on the wheelbarrow. Each and every one of them lost the energy to argue and just wanted to sigh.
Zhao Er thought that his own had been sold for money, but everyone else's had not been bought, so he honestly took out the two pieces of hemp he had just sold, and planned to share them with everyone, so as not to quarrel.
Yangwazi looked on, his breath suffocating, and he almost couldn't help scolding his stupid father in front of so many villagers.
The corner of Lao Wutou's mouth twitched obviously, and then just a second before the others were about to reach out to share the money, he pushed the cloth in Zhao's hands back to him.
He deliberately raised his voice and said: "We have caused your father and son to be blamed by the Xu family, so why are we so embarrassed to share your money? Anyway, I am a shameless person, so you can collect the money yourself."
Okay, I don’t want it.”
"The young lady of the Xu family buys your sheep's wool because of the sake of the sheep. The little baby has its own friendship with the little baby. I just hope that she won't bear any grudge against your sheep."
As he said that, he looked at the guilty-looking Yangwazi, shook his head, picked out his sack, and carried it home.
When the other people saw this, they looked at Zhao Er's honest face, thinking that his family of eight children was so poor that several of them wore the same pair of trousers, sighed, and carried away all their own wool.
As for the money, whoever is shameless can share it!
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang watched this scene from behind. The two sisters looked at each other. The anger in Xu Erniang's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a long, speechless sigh.
"That old aconite with the birthmark on his face is a bit interesting." Xu Erniang said playfully.
Xu Yue nodded in agreement, but she didn't forget why these people didn't resent her for not giving them benefits, but instead worried about her being angry with them.
The reason why they reacted this way was because she was a relative of their master's family, and her words could cause them to lose the fruits of their hard work.
Power is really useful in this era.
You don't have to do anything, and people will fear and respect you.
"Sister, let's go back."
Xu Yue pulled her sister's sleeves, and the two sisters went home to deal with the pile of newly harvested wool.
The amount of velvet caught alone weighed dozens of kilograms and was spread all over the yard. Wang was helpless, but it was not easy to dampen the enthusiasm of the two sisters to explore, so she had to open a room and let them go into this room.
Go get busy.
The two sisters washed and sorted the wool. Even with Xu Erniang's magical assistance, they were busy from noon to evening.
It was time for her father to go home. Xu Erniang was too obsessed with spinning and didn't want to move, so Xu Yue had to take the initiative to take over the job of cooking dinner.
She walked to the yard with her aching arms, only to see that Xu Dalang had already knocked out his two big stones.
The originally heavy stones, after days of polishing by Xu Dalang, have turned into two stone cakes with a thickness of 20 centimeters and a diameter of 50 centimeters.
Xu Yue watched her brother stack two stone cakes together and was about to call it a day. An idea flashed across his face and he was stunned.
She remembered!
She finally remembered what that flash of thought was when she was by the river!
Stone mill, stone mill can grind soybeans, soybeans can be made into tofu, and tofu can be sold for money!
Even if they don't sell it for money, they can still eat it themselves.
Thinking about the taste of tofu nao, tofu dregs and fermented bean curd, the saliva in Xu Yue's mouth could not be controlled and secreted rapidly. She was so greedy that she left saliva in shame after eating pickles mixed with wheat cakes every day.
"Hiss~" Xu Yue slurred hard, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to her greedy look just now, she immediately ran to Xu Dalang and asked him to grind two stone cakes for herself. She wanted to make a millstone!
Xu Dalang looked confused. What kind of strange request is this?
"Does the young lady also want to practice strength?" Xu Dalang asked curiously. This was the only reason he could think of for Xu Yue to want stone cakes.
Xu Yue shook her head fiercely and said excitedly: "Brother, I want a millstone. Make one for me and I will make delicious food for you!"
Is there something delicious again? Xu Dalang’s eyes lit up.
"OK!"
Just have something delicious!
Xu Dalang agreed, and Xu Yue gestured excitedly in her heart, and immediately urged her brother to go to the river to move rocks for herself.
She rolled up her sleeves and made egg pancakes that the whole family loved but only she could make.
Mix the flour with egg liquid and knead it into a ball. Divide the dough into fist-sized pieces and knead it into a pancake shape. Place it in a pot and bake it. Dig out the middle, fill it with pickles, and fry both sides until crispy. Take a bite and it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
