Chapter 28: A Grand Feast of Pork in the Prosperous Era of G
with activity. News of this had spread, and people were rushing in from all directions. The crowds were endless, even more lively than the town market."Hey hey hey, get out of my way!"Liu Liang fanne..."Young Master, my people just sent word that every family has already dispatched people to Mount Support Village. And that Yang Lin rascal, he's gotten himself into trouble again, concocting something called "Thousand Sheets" which apparently is very profitable."
Xu Maocai's small eyes sparkled.
"What"
Zhou Zhengyang's eyes widened instantly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, all the families will not only learn how to make tofu this time, but also do business with Yanglin worth thousands of sheets."
Xu Maochai sighed and said in a heavy voice: “So, young master, all we’ve done hasn't forced Yang Lin to surrender, but rather made their cooperation even smoother.”
"Oh, we ended up working hard for nothing! They just used our efforts!"
Xu Maochai sighed.
Zhou Zhengyang was dumbfounded.
He also understands this principle.
Just like one person plays the red face and the other plays the white face.
Now that the bad guys have been dealt with by their own family, Yang Lin and other families not only haven't been affected, but 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 was well aware that even though he now knew Yang Lin had struck another thousand-piece deal, he could no longer threaten him in Heishan Village like last time.
The matter of tofu has affected the interests of many families.
If Yang Lin gives him face again and he still doesn't make a thousand pieces after being threatened, then the Zhou family will have smashed all the rice bowls of their entire clan.
The Zhou family has yet to reach a point where they can control everything.
Therefore, if you constantly make a scene and cause everyone to lose money, you'll offend the rest of the family too severely. Afterward, the Zhou family won't have an easy time in the county town either.
"Young Master, it's not a question of whether we can swallow our pride anymore. The real issue is whether we continue with the business of these thousand sheets and tofu."
Zhou Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat again.
He immediately understood that the other families were now all in Yanshan Village, doing business with Yang Lin!
Looking back, they made a fortune.
And what about yourself
Such a good opportunity, and he couldn't earn any money for himself. Not only would he be unable to hold his head up in front of his father and brothers, but the Zhou family would also lose out on this business deal and miss out on a profit.
Don't do business with Yang Lin, you won't make any money.
If Ke Ru's family also went to Kaoshantun village, they would also learn to make tofu and purchase thousands of sheets...
Wouldn't that be slapping oneself in the face
Either you get humiliated or you 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 Maocai hurriedly agreed.
The master wouldn't stoop to do it, so he had to.
Zhou Zhengyang gritted his teeth: "Let him live a few more days. Next month, the Black Tiger will enter the city. At that time... Humph!"
Zhou Zhengyang clenched his fists tightly.
"Young Master, are you..."
"Of course I want him dead!"
Zhou Zhengyang said harshly.
Xu Maochai swallowed hard and hurriedly whispered, "Young Master, this Heihu is a ruthless person. Even the Lord has some fear of him. He only dares to cooperate but not get too close. We still..."
"Shut up!"
Before Xu Maochai could finish speaking, Zhou Zhengyang rebuked him: “If we hadn't listened to your advice, things wouldn't have gotten this bad!”
Xu Maocai seeing this, didn't dare to speak any further.
To only think about the Black Tiger, he was a bandit!
If he were to take action, many people would die...
That night, in front of Yang Lin's house, ten iron pots were set up on a rack, burning with a roaring fire, the aroma filling the air.
In five iron pots, white rice was being cooked. In another five iron pots, a hundred catties of pork were stewing with another hundred catties of dried bean curd sheets. The villagers working in the tofu factory, all bringing their families, were waiting by the side holding their rice bowls.
Looking at the bubbling cauldron, the fragrant aroma of sizzling pork wafted through the air, stimulating the nerves of everyone present.
The meat was not yet tender, but the villagers waiting for dinner were drooling.
It's time to eat!
"Hey hey hey, don't crowd, get your rice here, and vegetables over there."
Yang Lin said, "There's enough rice and pork, so everyone can rest assured, we have plenty!"
Wang Gui rolled up his sleeves, beaming with a smile, helping to maintain order while he couldn't help but drool.
He hasn't eaten pork in a long time!
A banquet with over a hundred people attending was unheard of in the village except for Liu's household.
Though the dining environment is simple, the villagers don't mind. They are satisfied as long as they have meat to eat and can fill their stomachs.
A big bowl of rice is served with a spoonful of golden red-braised pork. Take a bite, it's sizzling with oil and fragrant!
"Dad, is this pork It smells so good."
A seven or eight-year-old boy, with his mouth full of greasy food, opened his bright, glistening eyes and asked excitedly.
"Yes, that's pork. My father used to eat it all the time back in the day. He had his fill. Here, have this piece."
The father gave his son the largest piece of fatty meat from his bowl.
Mother's eyes were brimming with tears as she gave her child the fattest piece of meat in her bowl.
The children gobbled down their food, while the adults ate more daintily, chewing slowly and savoring each bite as if they wanted to remember the taste forever and were reluctant to swallow.
As they ate, many people started to cry.
Whether it's fragrant white rice or juicy pork belly, they are things they never dared to dream of before.
And now, I not only get to eat, but also to eat my fill!
"Child, you must remember that the first meal of meat you ever ate was at Yang Lin's house."
He lent us money, our family saved the farmland, and he even let us eat meat. He's a great benefactor to us!
"When you grow up, remember to be grateful and repay your kindness, okay"
The child nodded blankly.
Meanwhile, grateful eyes turned towards Yang Lin.
They may not understand grand principles, but they know who is good to them.
They were once the most impoverished in the village. They couldn't even afford meat during the Chinese New Year, and they had almost forgotten what it tasted like.
In the past, they never dared to imagine it.
But in the future, eating meat might still be difficult, but it will no longer be an unachievable dream for them.
A feast of pork, who knows how many people it has made cry with happiness.
This meal also awakened their longing for a better life.
In the small courtyard, listening to the incessant sobbing outside, Second Sister let out a deep sigh.
"Now I finally understand why my husband invited everyone to eat meat!"
Their moods were relatively heavy.
Before, they didn't understand why Yang Lin spent so much money to treat everyone to a meal. Now they finally get it.
Li Yuxiang looked at this scene, but her heart was filled with anger!
What is Yang Lin's deeper meaning
She sees much more than others realize.
But what angered her at this moment was that the common people of Dayan were living such a miserable life!
From a young age, she learned about the prosperous and peaceful era of Dayan, where the four seas were under its rule and the people lived and worked in harmony.
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 flourishing era
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 on the side.e number of them in a short period of time.But if you just equip the crossbow to the guards, this squad that looks like only villagers can instantly become a powerful archer team!Thinking of this, Li...
