Chapter 464 Make up
"10%?!"
Xue Zongqi gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth. He was about to say something, but was blocked by Yan Huaiwen's words.
"The horses taken away by the frontier army should be given to us 10%."
Xue Zongqi stood up.
Even Yan's second son was stunned on the spot.
Didn't give it, but asked for it back? !
Yan's second son looked at Xue Zongqi again with a bit of sympathy.
Not to mention that you can't pull back the cattle and sheep, you have to look outside...
"How is this calculated? Let's not talk about food, you brought back a lot of cattle and sheep." Xue Zongqi was short of breath, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.
"We agreed, you don't take the horse and the military exploits." He said quickly.
Yan Huaiwen signaled him to be calm.
He said slowly: "As I said just now, the food is not counted, and the government has nothing to gain. Isn't it a waste of work? The frontier army should share 10% of the war horses with us. Similarly, the temporary cattle and sheep in Xiao'an Village also have 10%." It belongs to the government office."
Yan's second brother also stared wide-eyed, unexpectedly, Xiao'an Village would have to go back.
But it's reasonable to think about it.
His eyes retracted quickly, nodded again and again and said: "Come on, let's bring the cattle and sheep here tomorrow."
"Or..." Yan Huaiwen turned his head and said: "Xiao'an Village can be paid for by horses, and the official government will be discounted according to the market price."
Yan's second son responded happily: "Okay, arrive with a horse."
The horses are raised in the village, just like the ancestors. Before there were no cattle, I thought I could use a horse-drawn cart in the spring. Now that there are cattle in the village, the horses will not be fragrant.
Those horse ancestors are really difficult to take care of. They eat all concentrated feed. When the weather is good, they have to be taken out for a walk. How many people in the village can ride horses? Beware of them throwing a tantrum and kicking...
10% of the cattle and sheep, only a few of them were exchanged, and Yan Lao Er would be very happy to be able to send some. This winter's forage is hard to find. Hey, do you want to go back to the village to discuss with the big guys and sell them to the horses? Some?
Yan Lao Er rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xue Zongqi.
Xue Zongqi moved to Yan Huaiwen's side.
"Yan Hushu, we have divided the horse, why don't we take it back? Besides, it is useless for you to ask for a horse. We have agreed with the second brother Yan before. If you don't believe me, ask the second brother Yan and Tian Da. Master, the three of us discussed it together at that time."
"The tiger is in the third class of yamen servants. The number of horses is insufficient, and most of them are old horses. The elder knows the difficulties of the frontier army and has never said anything. According to the rules, the horses retired by the frontier army should be given priority to the left and near the government office. Xue Zongqi holds the army You are good at raising horses. In recent years, none of the horses have been retired. We only want the number of horses captured from Beirong this time.” Yan Huaiwen pressed on every step of the way, with a very tough attitude.
Xue Zongqi's face was awkward, yes, the frontier army has not eliminated military horses for many years, good horses have the price of good horses, bad horses also have the price of bad horses, old and disabled, ahem, they all have a worth.
Yan's second son suddenly realized, no wonder his brother didn't leave room for Xue Zongqi, well, he took advantage of us.
Since the day he came to the government office, the stables have never been full. When his teacher went to Fucheng, the carriage was not to mention how shabby it was, so the root of it was here!
"We don't have many horses in the frontier army! Many of them are not good enough. Don't mention how bad it is for Shang Beirong. Yan Hushu, look at this, let's forget it this time. Let's do things together next time, but there will be a difference." Huo, will it be possible for our frontier army to occupy less?"
Xue Zongqi used all his strength, wishing to have a mouth full of body to persuade this Yan Hushu.
Yan Huaiwen doesn't take hard things.
Not so easy to convince.
Finally, Xue Zongqi had to vomit blood once, and promised to transfer the horses replaced by the frontier army to the government office.
Yan Huaiwen let go.
Yan's second son got his brother's signal, and set the number in a hurry.
As soon as the matter was settled, Yan Huaiwen served tea to see off the guests.
Xue Zongqi walked very fast, as if there was a beast behind him trying to bite him.
"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, what are you doing so fast!" Yan's second child chased after him.
Yan Hushu is not easy to provoke, and this Yan Er is also a good hand at pretending to be powerful.
I didn’t notice it before, this guy is so good at beating the side drum, and his words almost made him lose his skin!
"Why?" I just said too much, Xue Zongqi doesn't want to talk now.
"Brother Xue, it's hard to find fodder this winter. Our village may not have enough preparations. Didn't you say you could help us sell horses last time? Are you counting?"
Xue Zongqi's face was changing.
Well you Yan Er, show off, are you showing off?
I'm going to roll up my sleeves because of horses and your brother, your village still has plenty, right?
"Have you thought about selling it?"
"Not yet, we don't know the market either, so I want to ask you about the price first." Yan Laoer said shyly.
Xue Zongqi only felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead, and it took a lot of effort to suppress it.
"Wait until I see the horse." He gritted his teeth.
Yan Er Er knocked himself on the head.
"Yes, look at my brain, I almost forgot, we will be closer in the future, but it's great, Brother Xue, are you leaving now? I have to wait, bring my wife and children, come out It's not easy, take them around the city, how about going to my house for dinner at night?"
Xue Zongqi heard that he was going back later, so he changed his mind and smiled a little more on his face.
"Don't bother the second brother Yan, the brothers outside are still waiting with big bags and small bags, take a step first, wait for me to let go, and we two brothers can get together again."
"Come on!"
…
Neither Li Xuemei nor Yan Yu's mother and daughter know how to cook.
After discussion, the two decided to make noodles.
This is simpler.
Kneading the dough should not be too easy for Yan Yu. Li Xuemei has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, pointing at the side, and Yan Yu kneaded the dough obediently with only a small amount of effort.
Use a rolling pin to roll out a large, uneven cake, sprinkle with flour, fold it up, and use a knife to draw one by one.
The thickness and width are not uniform, but the problem is not big, and it does not affect eating.
Pour in the beaten egg liquid, stir it with chopsticks, and only put salt and a little soy sauce.
The egg noodles are out of the pan.
Yan Yu laughed until her eyes disappeared.
"Mom, how about trying it?!" She was eager to know the result.
Li Xuemei picked a chopstick that was **** wide and blew mouthfuls of noodles, brought them to her mouth, and chewed slowly.
Yan Yu watched eagerly.
"The noodles are quite firm, but there is too much salt." Li Xuemei commented very pertinently.
"Try it yourself."
Yan Yu picked one, which was so long that the chopsticks were pulled out a long way.
She took a bite and quickly shoved it into her mouth.
His eyes sparkled, as if he had eaten a rare delicacy in the world.
"It's delicious." With a mouth full of noodles, he praised himself while steaming: "My craftsmanship is really good... Haha, it must be inherited from my father. Mom, if you want to eat noodles in the future, I will make it for you."
There are temporary guests at home, and there is not enough time~
