The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"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%."

General Xue stood up.

Even Yan's second son was stunned on the spot.

Didn't you give it, did you ask for it back? !

Yan Laoer looked at Xue Zongqi again with a bit of sympathy.

Let alone the cattle and sheep that cannot be pulled back, you have to look outside...

"How is this calculated? Let's not talk about the 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 and not to be impatient.

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, and he nodded again and again, "Middle, 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 government office will be discounted according to the market price."

Yan Lao Er responded happily: "Okay, I will arrive with a horse."

Those horses are kept in the village, just like the ancestors. Before there were no cows, they thought that they could use horse-drawn carts in spring. Now that there are cows 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 fodder 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's 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 their own worth.

Yan Laoer suddenly realized, no wonder his brother didn't leave room for Xue Zongqi, well, he actually 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 work 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 his mouth full to convince this Yan Hushu.

Yan Huaiwen doesn't take hard and soft.

Not so easy to convince.

In the end, Xue Zongqi had to vomit blood and promised to transfer the horses replaced by the frontier army to the government office.

Yan Huaiwen let go.

Yan Lao Er received 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 wanting to bite him.

"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, what are you doing so fast!" Yan Er Er chased after him.

Xue Zongqi stopped, turned around, and stared at him with a complicated expression.

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!

"What for?" You just said too much, Xue Zongqi doesn't want to talk now.

"Brother Xue, it's not easy to find fodder this winter. Our village probably didn't have enough preparations. Didn't you say you could help us sell horses last time? Are you counting?"

Xue Zongqi's face was constantly changing.

Well you Yan Er, show off, are you showing off?

I'm going to roll up my sleeves because I'm fighting with your brother because of the horse. You still have plenty in your village, 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.

Second Yan 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?"

When Xue Zongqi heard that he was going back later, 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 discussing with each other, they 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 neatly with only a small amount of effort.

Use a rolling pin to roll out a large, uneven pancake, sprinkle with flour, fold it up, and use a knife to draw one by one.

The thickness and width are not uniform, but it is not a big problem and 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.

"Mother, how about a quick taste?!" She was eager to know the result.

Li Xuemei picked out a pair of chopsticks and two finger-wide noodles and blew them in mouthfuls, then brought them to her mouth, chewing slowly.

Yan Yu watched eagerly.

"The noodles are quite strong, but there is too much salt." Li Xuemei commented very pertinently.

"Try it yourself."

Yan Yu picked one, it was very long, and the chopsticks were pulled out a long way.

She bit it down and quickly shoved it into her mouth.

His eyes were shining brightly, as if he had eaten a rare delicacy in the world.

"It's delicious." With a mouthful of noodles, he boasted to himself while steaming: "My cooking skills are really good... Haha, I must have inherited it from my father. Mom, if you want to eat noodles in the future, I will make them for you."
