What! Hu Biao called Yu Hanfeng, what happened to Corn and the two of them? Of course, they have new jobs, and they have to be arranged for them.
In fact, after so many days of observation.
Especially based on the performance of the rookies in the night attack the night before yesterday, I was originally optimistic about the five rookies including Lao Snake, Corn, Lao Hei, Yu Hanfeng and Singer.
Now Hu Biao and other veterans have reached the consensus that these people have performed well and can be absorbed into the team.
By the way, Xu Er, a man from the social elite, also behaved quite sparingly, which greatly changed everyone's impression of him, and now they also have some ideas to absorb.
After having this idea, of course more tasks will be assigned to them.
I hope they can get exercise in more things, accelerate their personal progress, and integrate into the team.
No, Hu Biao ordered Yu Hanfeng and Corn to come over and prepare to kill cattle and sheep and prepare a few tables.
After the two sheep and a cow seized the night before yesterday were taken out.
Hu Biao said to a butcher Zhao who was invited from Jigong Village more than ten miles away: "Master Zhao, hurry up and do it. The meat is still waiting to be cooked in the kitchen."
After hearing this, Butcher Zhao, who had a rough face and a messy beard, hesitated on his face:
"Master Hu Jun, are you really going to do something?"
The reason why I ask this is because currently in Loess Castle, a sheep that can produce more than twenty kilograms of meat is sold for one or two cents.
But a cow that can produce two to three hundred kilograms of meat can be sold for only eight or nine taels of silver.
The beef sold on the market is more expensive than mutton.
Such a strange market price is not due to the fact that cattle have been a very important means of production for this nation for a long time; killing cattle is a serious crime without the approval of the government.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were such regulations:
Those who intentionally kill other people's cattle and horses will be punished with seventy canes and a year and a half; those who kill their own cattle and horses privately will be punished with one hundred canes; those who do not report the death of farm cattle to the government but strip them privately will be punished with forty whippings.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao saw Butcher Zhao's scruples and gave Yu Zi a look.
After seeing Hu Biao's hint speechlessly, Corn's mouth immediately became quite helpless and bragged shamelessly on behalf of their dead commander:
"Master Zhao, just feel free to do it, Mr. Hu will take care of everything for you.
Even though he is still a white man now, he will soon be at least an official of the General Banner, and he may be reduced to the rank of Trial Hundred Households.
Moreover, our Lord and Zhou Baihu of Huangtu Castle are as good as brothers. They are even guests at Supervisor Lin Cao, and are highly valued by Your Lord.
Think about it, he has such a status, and now he is just killing a cow, who among the officials in the government would dare to say no?"
Upon hearing this, Butcher Zhao didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took his two sons and put down the cattle and sheep one by one with ease, skinning them, deboning them, and cutting the meat.
The beef and mutton, which were still warm, were immediately sent to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Zhang Xiuniang, with Xie Guangkun on her back, looked as majestic as a general.
Under her effortless command, Old Man Jiang's daughter-in-law and daughter, as well as two helpful women, began to handle the ingredients.
After frying, boiling, stewing, and stir-frying, in a short time, several kinds of dishes came out of the pot and were brought to several tables in the largest room in Suifeng Dun.
And beside these tables, there are already several large wine jars weighing twenty kilograms each...
At this time, Ruifeng still led a dozen netizens to continue training in battle formations in an open space behind Suifeng Dun.
Besides, they had just finished lunch not long ago.
Therefore, these are definitely the best banquets in the world of Loess Fort, so naturally they are not prepared for them.
As for who prepared these banquets? These villagers, such as old man Jiang, also had some doubts while working hard, and they soon got the answer.
I saw Hu Biao leading Yu Hanfeng and Yu Zi standing in front of the suspension bridge, and they didn't have to wait long.
Amidst the flying dust, two military men with thick bodies, wearing their mandarin duck war coats loosely, arrived riding on a skinny horse.
After the two soldiers dismounted in front of the suspension bridge, they immediately bowed to Hu Biao and the other three, and shouted like thunder:
“I’ve met brother Hu Biao!
My two brothers are from Suiyuan Dun, my name is Feng Erhu, and his name is Ding Dayong. I think I am also a proficient archer and horseman. I heard about my brother's feats in the past two days, so I came here to pay my respects to him."
"Brothers, you're welcome. Please come and invite me. I, Hu Biao, like to make friends with good guys like you. Please come and drink and eat meat."
When I get to my brother's place today, I naturally have to drink two more bowls."
As he spoke, Hu Biao welcomed the two of them into Suifeng Castle. Not long after, the sound of fists was heard far away.
The appearance of Feng Erhu and Ding Dayong was like a beginning.
In the following time, soldiers on horseback and even on foot continued to arrive in Suifeng Dun in twos and threes.
After they arrived, even if they bowed without bowing their heads, as long as they called "Brother Hu Biao" to the welcoming Hu Biao, they would be ushered into Suifeng Dun to sit down at a table, where they could eat meat and drink wine.
After the soldiers had finished eating, they left drunkenly.
For some newly arrived soldiers, the table that had been removed in front of them was filled with wine and meat again, causing these people to start eating and drinking again, shouting loudly.
This situation lasted from afternoon until almost dark.
When Old Man Jiang and others lined up again and took the 50 coins from the white-haired girl Ali, this scene was still going on.
God knows! The number of soldiers eating and drinking on the three flowing tables has changed.
How much fine wine and meat went into the stomachs of these soldiers.
"These soldiers in Suifengdun are polite in their words and generous in their wages. They can say anything good, but they just can't make a living." On the way home, old man Jiang muttered again.
At the same time, I happily decided to bring my children over tomorrow before dawn to avoid being robbed of this job...
*****
But what Old Man Jiang didn't know was that Hu Biao certainly didn't have so much money that he couldn't use it, so he used such a method to squander it.
It’s not like he wants to be a ‘timely rain Hu Biao’, that’s why he randomly invites people to eat meat and drink wine.
You're kidding! This naughty guy just throws a handful of millet to an old hen and expects it to lay a double-yolked egg for him.
According to their plan, along the way to Loess Fort, Yang Dongli and others spread the news that Suifeng Dun was hiring people to work.
When we passed other fire road piers and military forts along the way, we did not forget to shout:
Lord Hu Biao from Suifengdun usually likes to make friends, especially those men who dare to fight, kill and are skilled in martial arts.
The night before yesterday, we happened to seize some money and meat from the Tatars. No matter when everyone went there, as long as they called "Brother Hu Biao", they would have enough food and wine.
Nowadays, all the military households have not been paid their food and salary for at least half a year. Now, they can't even eat enough sorghum rice today.
Birds have long faded out of their mouths. How could they miss this good thing that can be mixed with a meal of wine and meat?
In particular, some of the Ye Bu Shu and the servants in the nearby Huolu Dun, who think they have some strength, will of course come to take advantage of Hu Biao.
It's just that they obviously don't know that Hu Biao has a plan in mind.
Let these people eat and drink freely. How much can they eat with some beef and mutton and some bad wine in the village?
If you come here to eat every day, how much will it cost to eat him for five days?
But they were asked to help defend Suifeng Dun, risking their lives to help defend the city, and actually having a fight with the Tatars.
Whether these people are willing or not is one thing. God knows how much money they have to spend to make these people willing. Anyway, the money they have on hand is not enough to do these things.
Therefore, Hu Biao was not afraid of others coming to eat and drink from him. He even hoped that his reputation as the "biggest victim" would spread far and wide, so that a large number of people would come to eat and drink from him every day.
Forget it today because there is not enough time. Believe it or not, he will prepare mahjong, pai gow, and a stage in the future.
By then, these people had eaten and drank in Suifengdun and did not want to leave. When the Tatars arrived, they were all blocked inside.
Then they will greet him cordially whether they like it or not.
For the sake of your own life, you will probably risk your life to help fight; so don't worry about the details, just achieve the goal.
As for seeing the various preparations and training here at Suifengdun, will there be any doubts about it?
When the time comes, it will be nothing more than hard deception, and most of the military households will remain...
