Chapter 76 Not His Big Brother
"No wonder someone suddenly came to the yamen in the afternoon and bought all the tofu, and asked them to make twice as much tomorrow. They wanted them all." Li Qingyou suddenly realized.
Probably because she had a falling out with Zhang Tieniu, he didn't come when the yamen sent someone. Instead, it was a yamen servant whom Li Qingyou didn't know, so she didn't ask too many questions.
"The bandits are so powerful?" Li Qingyou was also quite surprised, remembering that last time Shen Si said that the bandits actually took the initiative to attack.
A bunch of loose sand dared to face the well-trained official army of the imperial court. This was either due to their long life or great self-confidence.
"It should be quite powerful. Erxi and I went out to see the city. A group of wounded soldiers were groaning in the tent. All the doctors in the city were found and treated." Adi thought about it and nodded. .
Three thousand soldiers and horses could not be stationed in the city, so they set up camp outside the city. They did not dare to get close, so they stayed away and looked at it. From the looks of it, half of the casualties were estimated.
"If the eldest son of the Wei family is not too stupid, he is really in trouble." Adi mixed the sauce, took Li Qingyou and plucked the feathers, removed the internal organs of the house finches and put them into the boiling pot. Fry in oil.
This was what he had brought from the city during the day, and was going to be added to the dishes at night. Compared with domestic pork, he preferred wild game, birds and animals, the meat was tender and delicious.
"No, just by looking at Wei Siqi, you can tell that the Wei family's upbringing is very strict. I guess I have been learning military tactics, riding and shooting since I was a child. The bandits should be really good." Li Qingyou thought for a while and shook his head.
It is said that a tiger father has no son. Besides, I met the eldest son of the Wei family last time and he didn't look like a straw bag.
Adi was convinced, and then remembered the ugly expression on the face of the eldest son of the Wei family when he saw him riding past in the city, "This time the loss was heavy, and the opponent was a little-known bandit. I think he was going to be angry to death."
The eldest son of the Wei family is really going to be pissed to death. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, using long fists and short strikes, horseback moves, and military strategies. He has already been familiar with them by heart. He has also fought in spite of his father and made many military exploits.
This was the first time he led his troops on an expedition, and he almost suffered a disaster. He really lost all his dignity, and he didn't know how his father would scold him when he returned home.
What made him even more depressed was that the bandit leader escaped. What's the use of just catching some shrimps, soldiers and crabs?
"After posting the portrait, I must catch that guy. I will cut him into pieces and smash his bones into ashes." The eldest son of the Wei family slammed the table, scaring the county magistrate who was waiting carefully on the side. Sweating like raindrops, he followed the orders one after another.
After calming down, the eldest son of the Wei family also reflected on the reasons for this failure. For him, he led three thousand elites but lost nearly half. Although he won, he was still defeated.
When you consider that although the opponent is a bandit, he is well-trained, has good offensive and defensive skills, and even practices various wonderful formations, you know that this is no ordinary bandit.
Those who can put up such a formation are more likely to be experienced in the battlefield.
This time it was him. If he had been someone with less experience on the battlefield, he might have been dealt with by the other party.
"Check, we must find out the leader of the bandit, issue a notice and offer a huge reward." The eldest son of the Wei family slapped the table again, and then remembered something and said: "You have to live."
If such a talent is recruited, he will definitely be a fierce general...
Li Qingyou laughed at his brother and gloated over his misfortune, "After all, he is also your younger brother's biological elder brother. It's very unkind of you to say that."
Adi curled his lips, "Sister also said that he is my little brother's eldest brother."
He's not his eldest brother, so who can show his kindness?
The food cooked by my brother is really delicious, especially the deep-fried chicken, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce he makes is even more delicious.
There is no one who doesn't love delicious food. Li Qingyou's not being picky is just a helpless acceptance. If there is delicious food, she will not hesitate to give in.
"Why don't we open a restaurant tomorrow when we get rich? I'm sure we can make a lot of money with your cooking skills." Li Qingyou was chewing food in her mouth and said without asking.
Adi made a slight movement, he would not cook for others.
That's what Li Qingyou said. She really regarded her brother as a relative and did not regard him as a child laborer. Besides, even if she opened a restaurant, she still had to have capital, right?
After eating, the siblings ate up a little and went to bed early. Now that they have a donkey at home, they can no longer sleep until dawn every day like before. The sky is full of stars at night, when others are sleeping soundly.
, Li Qingyou got up.
Today, the yamen asked her to make twice as much tofu, and she had to hurry up to grind the beans, take out the beans she had soaked during the day, and drive the donkeys out of the donkey shed.
Fortunately, she went to milk the donkey every day these days, and she became familiar with the donkey. She wiped it along the hair a few times, comforted the donkey, fastened the condom and covered its eyes, and then pulled the donkey around and around.
of grinding.
When his brother heard the noise, he got up to help. Seeing him yawning and unable to open his eyes, Li Qingyou asked him to go back to the house and go to sleep.
Adi refused and washed his face with cold water before he felt completely refreshed.
"Then you watch the donkey and when the beans are gone, fill it with a scoop and I'll get some food." Li Qingyou explained, then went into the house to prepare food for the chickens, donkeys and pigs.
Having a donkey saves trouble. When dawn falls, the tofu will be ready.
Li Qingyou took a deep breath, feeling that her life was finally back on track. She prepared what she wanted from the yamen, and the rest was for retail.
At dawn, someone came to the yamen gate, and it was still not Zhang Tieniu, but the same yamen official who came yesterday.
While Li Qingyou packed the tofu, he asked tentatively, "Are you going to do something? Why do you need so much at once? Have you finished eating?"
Counting the county magistrate, there are only about thirty people in the yamen gate, and six plates of tofu cost 180 yuan. Besides, how can you just eat this?
Probably because they had become familiar with each other since they came here yesterday, the government servant couldn't help but complain a few words, "Hey, the food is not for us, it is for those old soldiers."
As he spoke, he pouted angrily toward the outside of the city.
Li Qingyou knew that he was referring to Wei Jiajun. She glanced in the direction of his mouth in surprise and lowered her voice slightly: "You haven't left yet?"
The battle is over, isn't it? There is no reason to stay here regardless of victory or defeat.
The yamen servant shook his head and sighed. He didn't know exactly what was going on. "But I heard that I am going to stay in our county for a few days. I have to come to you to buy tofu these days. You can do as much as you can. We
The county magistrate said, no matter how much, everything will be covered."
As she said that, she saw the ones that Li Qingyou had left for retail, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled them all to the carriage and took them away. Adding the previous one hundred and eighty yuan, this amounted to three hundred and sixty pieces of tofu.
