No, old man Qi had already unknowingly brainwashed himself into being indifferent to honor and disgrace. He didn't find it strange at all that the emperor seemed to dote on him, and he often complained that the emperor was very discerning.
Qi Bao'er felt a toothache when she thought of the old emperor who wanted to trick her, "Master, being designated is not a good thing."
As for what kind of bad thing it was, she couldn't tell yet, but she just had an intuition that she was being calculated.
Qi Baoer has always believed in her intuition, and her intuition has saved her life countless times.
Old man Qi also believed in his granddaughter, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked calm as if he was "a soldier coming to stop him."
"Hey, dear, we are not afraid. Those soldiers are hiding in the inner wall of the back mountain. I don't think they will come to hurt us. They also gave us seven big fat pigs. I think they are asking for something."
As long as it's not disadvantageous for him to scream and kill, there will be buffer time.
The worst case scenario is that their family will run away again.
Alas, it's all because he's a useless father, he hasn't earned much confidence for his family, he can't help at all when something happens, and he in turn wants his granddaughter to worry about them.
[By the way, that person is the emperor. How open do you have to be to not be afraid of the emperor? 】
Qi Baoer had more or less guessed the emperor's purpose. She could only say that an emperor is an emperor, and whether you like it or not should always be placed behind the word "country".
"Master, don't worry, I know what they are here for, and they won't have any impact on us."
"Um?"
Qi Baoer did not continue, but changed the subject, "Sir, shall we eat butchered vegetables today?"
She seems to have never eaten anything during her entire life.
The old man Qi couldn't understand that his granddaughter was not letting him continue to ask questions. He is a self-aware old man, and he doesn't have the ability to take care of it, so he shouldn't get involved or get involved, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help but would do the opposite.
Holding my granddaughter back.
For example, when something happens, you, a person who can't help you, ask questions here and there. Isn't that offensive?
If you bother asking people who can answer questions, it will actually affect people's mood and thinking, but it is not just a hindrance.
So, he followed the words and replied: "Everyone has no money for a long time, and almost every household owes money to the village. Fortunately, there is relief food, otherwise something will happen."
The men have been taught all the way and have some skills, but building houses and land requires men with strong strength. How can they have the time to go hunting in the mountains?
No, in the past two months, except for the old house of Lao Qi's family, it can be said that no one in the village has even seen meat.
To help the emergency rather than to help the poor, Lao Qi's family couldn't just take care of the meat and vegetables of the 400 villagers just because he had the ability.
Fortunately, the old house of Lao Qi's family moved far away from the village, so the smell of stew does not reach the village.
The old man Qi also took precautions in this regard when he built the house. The cooking place was close to the back mountain and also far away from the village.
The women who help cook can take their own portions of meat and vegetables home, but one reason is that Mrs. Tian picks people who are honest, responsible and don't talk much. The other reason is that they are not stupid and can't get paid for cooking.
Said it could still be an advantage.
For example, if you can take back the meat and vegetables that you are given at every meal to feed the men and children at home, who would be willing to say something that will make people jealous and steal your work?
So everyone in Lao Qi's family knew that the food in the main room was good, but since they didn't see it or smell it, no matter what they thought, at least nothing happened so far.
But if we live in the same village and are from the same clan, we can't be polarized like this for too long. The human heart is the most untested thing.
"Ye Yuan wanted to ask your father to go up the mountain with you one day and get a wild boar to come down and beat the teeth of the villagers as a sacrifice. We can't let the big guys eat meat every day, but if you come here once in a while, you won't have any fat in their bellies."
Qi Baoer gave her father a thumbs up. Her father's ability to control people's hearts was really no worse than that of an official.
Dou Mien, Sheng Miqiu.
Her father knew how to control the amount of rice.
"Sir, are all the seven wild boars used for butchering?"
Old man Qi laughed and picked her up and walked out, "As for seven, I only prepared one. It will be good for everyone to taste it. Is it possible that we can still keep it full?"
But this time there are seven, so let’s be more generous, let’s take two. Take out two and prepare a butcher’s dish in the evening. The remaining meat will be divided among the households. It happens to be cold, so they will marinate the meat.
You can keep it by marinating it, and you can have more bowls of meat and vegetables on the New Year table.”
So it is said that people become better with age, look at how successful old man Qi is.
Bring out two wild boars, and tonight everyone will have a meal of butchered pig dishes. It is a rare opportunity to eat meat dishes in two months. The whole village is extremely grateful to Lao Qi's family.
When the New Year comes, they will have only relief food on the table, but they will have a bowl of meat and vegetables on the table, which will make this year less miserable. The old family of Lao Qi will once again gain the gratitude of the whole village.
.
The donation of two pigs earned the gratitude of the whole village for nearly half a year.
The most important thing is that they did not hunt these seven wild boars themselves.
-
As soon as he heard that a wild boar had been hunted, the master of Lao Qi's family would prepare a whole pig-killing dish for the whole village to eat in the evening. Not only the few men who were called to kill the pig, but also Comrade Li Zheng's steps looked nothing like his own.
The vigorous pace of the seventy-year-old came together.
"Master Bao'er, do you really want to take out two wild boars and distribute them to the villagers?"
Although Qi Kangan had told him clearly on the way, Qi Kaishan still felt that he should ask Old Man Qi.
After all, it doesn't matter whether the Old Qi family is divided or not, it is Old Qi who is the master of the family.
He knew that the big house of Lao Qi's family would lead a better life than the people in the village. Otherwise, they would not have built a big house, bought a hundred acres of land, and added a large mountain behind the house.
But precisely because he bought this and that, all of which cost a lot of money, he was worried that the money for Lao Qi's big house was almost gone.
Qi Kaishan really thought about the big house of the old Qi family. These wild boars are not small. They can be sold in the city for dozens of taels of silver, which can also relieve the pressure of building a house.
But,,,he is right now.
As a village leader, you naturally have to think about the whole village.
Everyone worked hard every day, but the only food they ate was the relief food distributed by the imperial court, and they couldn't even feel full. Although they didn't have a sallow complexion, none of them looked like they were short of oil and water.
Withered and yellow.
He really couldn't refuse those two wild boars.
Old man Qi smiled and waved his hand, pointed at the largest one and said, "Uncle Fourth, when did I ever lie? Drag that one away. You can pick one of the other Uncles by yourself. It's rare to eat meat once.
Let everyone eat comfortably."
Ouch, these words are so enlightening.
Qi Kaishan understood what old man Qi was like and was no longer polite to him, "Then I really have to make my own choice."
Qi the old man said: "Choose."
However, Qi Kaishan is not a greedy person. Old Qi's family gave the biggest one to the village. He had no nerve to choose the bigger one. He chose the smallest one, which weighed more than 400 kilograms.
"You won't kill these two here. I'll have them transported to the ancestral temple. It just so happens that we have built a stove for the ancestral temple in the future. The place is big enough, so we can just kill them and cook them there.
"
"It's done, Fourth Uncle, you can take care of it."
