Chapter 84: Weeds grow like wild grass (additional update for the Forest Kushiro Ten Thousand Rewards)
I have to say that "Brother Hu Biao" sounds like some funny tricks, but in fact it has a great effect.
God knows! How could gossip spread so quickly in a small place like Loess Fort?
After just one night, relevant news began to ferment.
There is a new armor commander named Hu Biao in Suifeng Dun. To put it nicely, he is a forthright person like the legendary Sai Mengchang, who likes to make friends.
A capable military man only needs to come to the door and pay homage, and call out "Brother Hu Biao", and he will be treated to good wine and meat, and he will not let you go until your stomach is full.
If it doesn't sound good, then he is a big spender or someone who has been taken advantage of.
Good wine and meat don't cost much, as long as a decent military household comes to your door, and after a few words, you can have a hearty meal.
There was even a joke spread that it was a military household in Jingyongdun.
Because life was difficult, I was hungry and full for a long time. I only ate coarse grains such as millet and sorghum to fill my stomach, and there was no oil or water in my stomach.
As a result, it was rare to have a meal of meat and wine at Hu Biao's old enemy in Suifengdun yesterday.
As a result, my stomach couldn't bear it anymore and I farted carelessly on the way back, which directly stained my crotch.
Anyway, no matter what the rumors said, what did Yu Hu Biao and all the netizens say? After a mere night passed, something happened that made people speechless.
The news about Hu Biao and others' lavish spending was known to everyone within a few dozen miles.
For a time, countless people like Old Man Jiang scolded this man for not knowing how to live, and the money on hand would be completely wasted in a short time.
But the scolding didn't affect their decision that night at all to get some benefit from this big enemy.
No! Of the 50 places to hire people, only 30 people were hired yesterday, and there are still more than a dozen people left.
At dawn the next day, all the people waiting in front of the Suifengdun Suspension Bridge were filled with applications.
There were more people leaving with a very disappointed mood; they all decided in their hearts to go out earlier tomorrow.
If you're a thief, even if you don't get paid, you can just have a lunch of white-flour steamed buns and big meat slices in oily soup.
A little later, around seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
There were also many smart women who came to Hu Biao to sell vegetables, vegetables, chickens, ducks, eggs, etc. that they grew at home.
Because they were thinking that there would be a big banquet here in Suifengdun, so they must purchase better ingredients.
This is indeed the case. No matter what these women brought, as long as it was fresh enough, Ali and others bought it all.
It's just that when paying, the initial payment is still some copper coins.
Later, they were replaced by some silk cloth, clothing, etc. seized from the Tatars.
However, for a group of peasant women, these silk cloths and clothes can be taken away by the Tatars, and they are all made of fine fabrics.
Nowadays, Suifengdun's exchange price is fair and can even be described as a bargain.
If you can use this method to give your family some new clothes that they haven't had for a long time, who wouldn't want to?
Therefore, people like Hu Biao just exchanged a bunch of garbage-like clothes and fabrics that they didn't even look at in exchange for vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, etc. that could last for a few days.
And their general generosity, which did not refuse anyone who came, caused an even greater sensation.
So in the following time, more people came carrying melons and fruits.
Among them were several salesmen carrying laden loads, and Hu Biao and the others did not look down upon their small goods such as needles and threads.
But the people who had just sold some ingredients in Suifengdun and had some copper coins on hand started to pay attention to it, and the business was pretty good.
When a third-rate bangzi troupe invited by Hu Biao and others arrived, many villagers from ten miles and eight villages suddenly came.
Good guys! Hu Biao and these guys.
Shengsheng spent a lot of money to turn this place into a market.
In particular, Hu Biao asked Ah Li to take action and give some of the candies they brought to some children. After giving one or two to each of the children, the entire large piece of wasteland in front of Suifeng Dun was filled with children's candy.
Laughter.
I think they would only be so happy during the Chinese New Year, right?
Many years later, even when I grow up, it will still be a pretty good memory in my heart.
The lively scene in front of Suifeng Dun reached its peak at around 12 noon.
At that time, people in the 50s and 60s were squatting on the ground, happily eating mutton noodles.
On the water banquet that had turned into seven tables, many netizens such as Corn, Yu Hanfeng, and Xu Er were shirtlessly fisting, drinking, and laughing with a military household on a table.
Zhang Xiuniang and other women kept carrying large bowls of meat and vegetables and put them on the table.
In the open space a little further outside, there were at least hundreds of people, laughing and watching the Bangzi Opera.
Suddenly, a large cloud of smoke rose in the distance. When I looked up, I saw Yang Dongli, AT, Lao She and others riding a tall horse leading the way.
Not only were there a dozen large trucks behind him, they were also filled with all kinds of supplies.
Some of the swords, guns and other weapons, iron materials, coke and other materials are just fine, but the large fans of pork and the large vats of fine wine inside are really rare.
Behind the convoy, there were about ten people walking behind, probably all blacksmiths hired by Lao Yang and the others.
With the addition of these people, it became even more lively.
The lively and joyful scene amid the roar of the crowd will be remembered deeply by many people present many years later.
In fact, it was Xu Feng, AT and others who were filled with emotion after seeing such a scene; the people of such a nation have unimaginable strength and resilience.
Every time, they have managed to survive a series of earth-shattering changes, and then they have worked hard to survive and grow, just like those weeds.
They may look unremarkable, but no one can stop them from growing and surviving.
****
Location: Suifeng Dunzhong, in a room that was temporarily converted into a large kitchen.
Yang Dongli, AT, Huang Yizhi, Lao Snake, Singer and other people who went to Loess Fort were now holding a bowl bigger than their face and putting food into their mouths.
Mainly this morning, they were doing their final shopping.
I was so busy with all kinds of work that I didn't bother to eat breakfast, and I was already hungry now.
So after coming back, even if it was because of some semi-finished meat dishes that were originally prepared, the lunch meal was basically eaten by the soldiers on the flowing table.
The remaining bits were eaten by the craftsmen invited back from Loess Castle.
Not wanting to trouble Zhang Xiu Niang and others too much, Lao Yang and the others, who were killing chickens and ducks again, just asked them to fry some haggis.
With some rice and crispy rice left at the bottom of the pot, it was still very delicious.
But when Hu Biao walked in with his clothes open and his face, even his neck and chest, all red from the stimulation of alcohol.
Xu Feng also cursed in his mouth: "Old Hu, you have to make a fool of yourself.
So much beef, mutton, chicken and duck meat have been eaten and drank by outsiders, but we can only eat a few leftovers."
After hearing this, Hu Biao immediately laughed bitterly:
"What the heck! Don't talk about it. Originally, we expected a lot of people to come due to this kind of big-ticket meal. But we didn't expect that so many people would come.
And each one of them is so edible, a large bowl of meat is gone within a short time of being served, and no amount of preparation is enough."
Having said this, Hu Biao shouted loudly again:
"Sister Zhang, give me a bowl of rice, with a spoonful of haggis and broth on top. Now my stomach is full of wine and there is nothing dry left."
That being said, there are so many strong soldiers taking the bait.
While Hu Biao and the others were eating the leftovers, they were quite happy in their hearts.
Especially after talking about the famous 'Brother Hu Biao', or the reputation of Hu Biao, the enemy of the enemy. In a short period of time, he has become quite famous in Loess Fort.
The group of people ridiculed their commander who threw himself into the street, making Hu Biao smile bitterly.
In the middle of the joke, Yang Dongli had finished scooping up the last bit of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and finally turned serious.
Upon seeing this, the others also stopped joking, because they knew they needed to start talking about business now...
