Chapter 28: A Grand Feast of Pork in the Prosperous Era of D
ives at once.Can you afford itAt Yang Lin's home, the women were also worried.In three days, will Yang Lin be able to come up with 1300 wenIf they can't be taken out, they will inevitably end up in a..."Master, my men just sent word that each family has already sent people to Mount Relying. And that Yang Lin kid, he's stirred up something called "Thousand Sheets" again, it seems very profitable."
Xu Maochai's small eyes sparkled.
"What"
Zhou Zhengyang's eyes widened suddenly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, each family will not only learn how to make tofu this time, but also do business with Yanglin to the tune of thousands of yuan."
Xu Maocai sighed and said earnestly, "So young master, the things we have done not only failed to force Yang Lin to surrender, but instead made their cooperation even more smooth."
"Oh, we ended up working for nothing! We basically made wedding dresses for them!"
Xu Maochai sighed.
Zhou Zhengyang was dumbfounded.
He, too, understands this point.
It's like one person is playing the role of a "red face" and the other plays the "white face."
Now that the bad guys have brought their Zhou family down, Yang Lin and the other families haven't been affected; in fact, because of this example, everyone has seen reality clearly and no one wants to go it alone anymore.
"Humph!"
Zhou Zhengyang slammed his fist on the table.
"Could this just be the end I can't swallow this!"
He knew very well that even though he now knew Yang Lin had made another big deal, he could no longer go to the Mountain Village and threaten him like last time.
Matters concerning tofu have already impacted the interests of many families.
If Yang Lin gives him face again, and he still doesn't make the Qian Zhang after being threatened, then it means that their Zhou family has smashed all the family's rice bowls.
Their Zhou family hasn't reached the point where they can control everything yet.
Therefore, if one keeps flipping the table without reason, causing everyone to lose money, then they will have deeply offended the rest of the family. Afterward, the Zhou family will not have an easy time in the county town.
"Young master, it's not about whether we can swallow our pride anymore. The question now is whether we continue this business with Thousand Sheets and Tofu."
Zhou Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat again.
He immediately understood that the other families were now in Shanyuan Village, doing business with Yang Lin!
Looking back, they made a fortune.
And what about me
Such a good opportunity, if I don't make money myself, not only will I lose face in front of my father and brother, but the Zhou family will also miss out on this deal and lose out on some income.
Don't do business with Yang Lin, you won't make any money.
If Zuo Jia also went to Kaoshan Village and learned to make tofu, and purchased a thousand sheets....
Wouldn't that be slapping oneself in the face
Either you'll be disgraced, or you'll get scolded by your father.
"Master Xu, you send someone to take care of these two things for me!"
Zhou Zhengyang gritted his teeth.
"Yes."
Xu Maochai hastily agreed.
The master wouldn't do this humiliating task, so he had to.
Zhou Zhengyang gritted his teeth and said, "Let him live for a few more days. Next month, the Black Tiger will enter the city, and then... humph!"
Zhou Zhengyang clenched his fist tightly.
"Young Master, do you want to..."
Of course I want him dead!
Zhou Zhengyang said fiercely.
Xu Maocai swallowed nervously and hurriedly whispered, “Young master, Black Tiger is a ruthless person. Even the old master is wary of him, only daring to cooperate but not get too close. We should…”
"Be quiet!"
Before Xu Maochai could finish speaking, Zhou Zhengyang rebuked him, "If we hadn't listened to your advice back then, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!"
Xu Maocai seeing this, did not dare to speak anymore.
Just thinking about the Black Tiger, he's a bandit!
If he makes a move, many people will die....
That night, in front of Yang Lin's house, ten iron pots were set up on a stand, burning fiercely with a strong fire, the aroma filling the air.
Five iron pots were bubbling with white rice. In another five, a hundred kilograms of pork was simmering with a hundred kilograms of fermented bean curd. Villagers who worked at the tofu shop, bringing their families and holding bowls, waited patiently nearby.
Looking at the bubbling iron pot, the fragrant aroma of pork spread in the air, stimulating the nerves of everyone present.
The meat wasn't yet tender, but the villagers waiting for their meal had saliva drooling.
It's dinner time!
"Hey hey hey, don't crowd, get your rice over here, and vegetables over there."
"Yang Lin said, there is enough rice and pork, so everyone rest assured, there's plenty for all!"
Wang Gui rolled up his sleeves, a smile on his face, helping to maintain order while he couldn't help but drool.
He hasn't eaten pork in a long time!
A banquet for over a hundred people was unheard of in Kaoshantun Village, except for Liu the landlord's house.
Although the dining environment is simple, the villagers don't mind. They are satisfied to have meat and be able to eat their fill.
Serve up a big bowl of rice, topped with a generous spoonful of golden red-braised pork. Take a bite, it's sizzling with oil, so fragrant!
"Dad, is this pork It smells so good."
A boy of seven or eight, with a mouth full of oily food, his big, sparkling eyes shining with excitement, asked eagerly.
"Yes, this is pork. My father used to eat it often back in the day. He's had his fill. Here, have a piece."
The father placed the largest piece of fatty meat in the bowl onto his son's plate.
Mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she also gave her child the fattest piece in the bowl.
The children gobbled their food down, while the adults were more refined, chewing slowly and savoring each bite as if they wanted to memorize the taste forever, reluctant to swallow it.
As they ate, many people started to cry.
Whether it's fragrant white rice or glistening pork belly, these were things they never dared to dream of before.
And now, not only can I eat, but I can also eat my fill!
"Child, you must remember that you ate your first meal of meat at Yang Lin's house."
"He lent us money, our family saved the farmland, and we even had meat to eat. He's a great benefactor to us!"
"You need to repay your debt of gratitude when you grow up, understand"
The child nodded blankly.
At the same time, grateful eyes turned towards Yang Lin.
They may not understand great principles, but they know who is good to them.
They were the most impoverished in the village. They couldn't even afford meat during the New Year and had almost forgotten what it tasted like.
In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it.
But in the future, eating meat might still be difficult, but it will no longer be an unattainable dream.
A pig feast, I don't know how many people cried from eating it.
This meal also awakened in them a longing for a better life.
In the small courtyard, listening to the constant sobs coming from outside, Second Sister let out a deep sigh.
"I finally understand why my husband asked everyone to have a meat feast!"
Their moods were comparatively heavy.
Before, they didn't understand why Yang Lin wanted to spend so much money treating everyone to a meal. Now they finally get it.
Li Yuxiang looked at this scene, but her heart was filled with anger!
Yang Lin's deep meaning
She sees much more than others realize.
But at this moment, what enraged her was that the common people of Great Qin were living such a miserable life!
From a young age, she learned about the prosperous era of the Great Dynasty, where all four seas were peaceful, and the people lived in peace and prosperity.
But what about reality
Can't afford meat, can't pay off debts, selling houses and land, even having children taken away!
Is this what they call a prosperous age
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with pain.
"Why"
"Why is this happening"
Li Yuyao turned her head and looked at Yang Lin beside her.round and shouted to the villagers gathered outside: "Everyone here has seen with your own eyes today. Liu Landlord sent people to kill Yang Lin. Fortunately, Yang Lin was on guard and prevented the L...
