Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

Su Yunluo told them to get up quickly.

"You're kneeling down to me so early in the morning. How polite! Get up quickly."

"These things are a token of our gratitude from all the villagers. Please accept them."

"Okay, I'll take it." Su Yunluo accepted it readily, which made the villagers very happy.

Because they came to give her gifts sincerely and expressed their gratitude to her from the bottom of their hearts.

After the villagers left, Su Yunluo turned around and told Bai Zhi: "Since everyone is so thoughtful, I would like to treat everyone to a good meal."

"Yes." Bai Zhi, who was following Su Yunluo, was very supportive.

Sister Yunluo is like this. If others respect her, she will give back double the respect.

"It's just that it's not that easy to handle a banquet for thousands of people."

Especially in this unfamiliar place, it is not easy to just buy vegetables, and you also have to find someone to wash, cut and cook them!

Su Yunluo thought for a moment and said, "Let's make it simpler."

"How simple is that?"

“You don’t have to sit down, you can just pick it up and eat it. It has both meat and vegetables, and the nutrition is balanced.”

"What the hell is that?"

By the way, Su Yunluo hasn’t eaten a hamburger since coming here.

Today, let's treat everyone to burgers.

About one pound of meat makes five burgers.

In ancient times, beef could not be eaten casually because cows needed to plow the land.

So Su Yunluo chose to use pork.

There are a total of one thousand people. Assuming each person eats two hamburgers, then two thousand hamburgers will be needed, which means 400 kilograms of pork.

The villagers sent a pig, which was enough to yield more than 100 kilograms of meat.

Su Yunluo arranged for Eighteen to buy three more pigs.

In addition, I'd like to hire a few helpers to help with slaughtering pigs, chopping meat, etc. today.

The wages can be higher, 500 copper coins per person per day.

Eighteen obeyed the order and left.

Su Yunluo took the rest of the people to choose a relatively open area in the manor, cleaned it up, and would make hamburgers here later.

Half an hour later, Eighteen came back.

Not only did he bring back three big fat pigs, he also brought hundreds of villagers, including three village chiefs.

"Madam Su, they are all here to help." Eighteen said, pointing at the villagers.

Su Yunluo: "Why are there so many people? Didn't I tell you that it would be enough to find a dozen helpers?"

"Madam Su, don't blame the Seventeenth Guard. We took the initiative to ask for help. You have done us a favor. It is our honor for us to help you when you have problems. We will feel very happy to work." The village chief of Shangbu Village should be a cultured person. He speaks in a gentle and polite manner, which makes people feel very comfortable listening to him.

Su Yunluo smiled: "Well, if you really want to help, then do it."

"Madam Su, just tell us what you want us to do."

"Kill the four pigs first. Then shave off the good meat and chop it into minced meat."

"Okay." After listening to Su Yunluo's explanation, the village chief of Shangbu Village glanced at the crowd and waved to someone: "Butcher, come here."

A tall and strong man immediately ran out from the crowd.

"I haven't slaughtered pigs in a few years. Will I still do it?"

"You must be kidding. Killing pigs is a skill passed down from my ancestors. Not to mention I haven't killed pigs for a few years. Even if I haven't used a knife for decades, I can still cut a pig with one cut." The butcher said confidently.

"That's good. I was just worried that your skills would fade and you might ruin the pigs. So, Madam Su needs to kill the four pigs over there, then remove the meat and chop it up. You can decide how many people you need to help you. You can pick any of us."

Butcher: "That depends on when Madam Su wants it done."

Su Yunluo: "The sooner the better. Preferably before 3 p.m."

That is, before three o'clock in the afternoon.

"That's not urgent. Just pick ten people to help."

"Okay, then go pick someone."

The butcher quickly picked out ten men, left two here to prepare some firewood, and the rest went with him to his house to carry the tools for slaughtering the pig.

The rest of the people continued to wait for Su Yunluo to assign them tasks.

"Madam Su, is there anything else you want to do?"

Su Yunluo shook his head: "Not yet. Even if there is, we don't need so many of you."

"Just tell me what else needs to be done."

"And...get some steamers. Can you borrow some from one of your families?"

"No need to borrow. I'll just find someone to make a few for you." The head of Shangbu Village started to call out people in the crowd again. This time he called out ten people, all of whom were carpenters in the village.

"Mrs. Su needs a steamer. Go and arrange it."

“How many drawers do you need?”

"The more, the merrier."

"Okay, we get it."

The ten men left immediately.

"Madam Su, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"I need an extra-large pot. You won't arrange for one to be made for me right away, will you?" Su Yunluo joked.

The head of Shangbu Village actually nodded and said, "Sure, blacksmith, come over here."

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I have a big pot here, which is big enough. There's really nothing to do here, so the rest of you can go back first. Come early in the evening, I'll treat everyone to burgers."

"What's a burger?"

"Keep it a secret for now. You'll know when you get here. You can eat less for lunch today."

Many people were sent back.

Soon, the yard began to bustle with the activity of slaughtering pigs.

Su Yunluo was also watching from the side.

Except for the pig's head and trotters, all the pork is chopped into minced meat.

When the meat was almost minced, thirty steamers were delivered, and they were cleaned thoroughly.

Su Yunluo praised them highly and at the same time gave them some extra work, asking them to make a few large wooden barrels.

The carpenters were asked to do more work and were very happy. They immediately went back to making wooden barrels.

The minced meat is also chopped.

When chopping the meat, Su Yunluo was worried that preparing the stuffing would be too troublesome, so he asked everyone to add salt while chopping the meat. By the time the meat was chopped, the salt was evenly mixed and the meat was well-flavored.

The villagers were heartbroken to see spoonfuls of salt being put into the meat.

The amount of salt put in the meat today is probably something that the villagers from the three villages wouldn’t be able to consume in a month on normal days!

After the meat filling has been chopped and seasoned, just pat it into round pieces with your hands, each about the size of your palm, and put them in a steamer to steam them.

One steamer can hold ten meat patties, so there are twenty steamers in total. It takes a full ten times to steam them all.

Fortunately, there is not much else in this manor, so firewood can be burned at will.

Many large trees have a lot of branches that fall off naturally.

While steaming meat patties, Su Yunluo asked someone to build a simple stove and started cooking soup on the other side.

Before coming here, I brought a lot of dried mushrooms from Beijing.

Now it’s perfect for making soup.

Add some tofu and minced meat to the soup, and add a few eggs, it will be so delicious.

Everyone was steaming meat patties and making soup outside.

Su Yunluo ran to the room alone and hid there to knead buns.

One bun is rolled in one second, and more than 2,000 buns are ready in more than half an hour.

After it was done, someone was asked to come into the house to carry it.

Of course, those we called were our own people.

Eighteen entered the room and saw a room full of steamed buns. He was shocked: "Mrs. Su, where did these steamed buns come from?"

"I contacted them on my phone and asked them to send it over."

There were always some strange things appearing out of nowhere in the house, so Su Yunluo told everyone directly that he could communicate with the people in the sky, and as long as they agreed, they would be sent over instantly.

"But didn't you say that we can only send things there on the 16th of every month?"

"Well, that's the theory, but if there are some special circumstances, we can make an exception there."

"So this is ah."

Everyone stopped doubting and started moving the steamed buns out.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the villagers had arrived one after another.

The air was filled with the enticing aroma of meat and steamed buns...making everyone so hungry that they swallowed hard.

Su Yunluo didn't care that it was still early and started organizing everyone to line up and get their burgers in an orderly manner.

"First, each person gets two burgers and a bowl of hot soup. You can come back for more after you finish eating. Everyone line up and come one by one. Don't be in a hurry. Everyone will get a share."

The white flour buns that Su Yunluo made were big, and she could usually be full with just one bun.

Now each person has two hamburgers, which is equivalent to two white flour buns, plus two large pieces of real pork patties, and a full bowl of steaming tofu, mushroom and egg soup. An adult man can eat it to his heart's content, but the elderly, children and women cannot finish it at all.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it. They definitely won’t throw it away or waste it. You can save it for the next meal.

On that day, thousands of people sat on the ground in the manor, eating huge hamburgers with gusto. The scene was quite spectacular.

Some people even shed tears because they had never eaten anything so delicious.

Su Yunluo waited until everyone else had received their food before he was the last one to take a burger to eat.

Not to mention, white flour buns are very solid and chewy when eaten. If you chew them for a while, they are sweet and become more fragrant the more you chew.

Just eating white flour buns is delicious.

Now put the meat patty inside, and the gravy seeps into the steamed bun, making it taste more delicious.

Su Yunluo ate the whole thing and was so full that he almost died.

But it’s really delicious to eat with so many people.

At the same time, Su Yunluo also heard the voices of everyone present. Most of the people here are still very kind.

Of course, there are a few restless ones among them.

Su Yunluo secretly wrote down the names of these people and made them the focus of observation in the future.

As long as a group of people can control those restless ones, there will be no trouble.

After eating and drinking, the rest of the villagers left in twos and threes, and finally only three village chiefs were left.

Seeing that they stayed here on purpose, they must have something to say to me.

Su Yunluo asked Bai Zhi to make tea, and asked the three of them to sit down in the house and talk slowly.

The three of them sat down in the room.

Bai Zhi brought the tea over, and the three of them immediately stood up and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Bai."

The three of them looked at each other, and seemed too embarrassed to speak.

Su Yunluo smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Speak it out loud for everyone to hear. If I agree, that's the best. If I don't agree, you won't lose anything, right?"

"Mrs. Su is right. It's always a good idea to give it a try. Um...we would like to contract the fruit trees in your estate."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's like this. Last year, we watched helplessly as the fruit trees in your estate ripened, but no one picked them. In the end, they all fell to the ground and rotted. It was such a pity. We wanted to look for you, but we didn't know exactly where you lived. This year you happened to be here, so we wanted to take this opportunity to discuss things with you first." said the village chief of Shangbu Village.

"The fruits from every fruit tree in this manor are delicious," said the village chief of Xiabu Village.

The head of Shangbu Village continued, "We will do the hard work, pick the fruits and sell them. You will take 60% of the profit and we will take 40%. Is that okay with you?"

Su Yunluo didn't react at first.

Is this how negotiations are conducted?

Generally speaking, if you just sit back and reap the benefits while they are responsible for everything, then they should get 60% and you 40%, right?

However, her hesitation seemed to cause the other party to misunderstand.

The head of Shangbu Village was obviously nervous. He licked his lips and said, "If you are the seventh, we can take three. We will take good care of the fruit trees. You don't need to worry about anything."

"Well, have you ever calculated how much the fruit trees in this manor can be sold for in a year?"

"We have roughly calculated that the inferior ones can be sold for three to five thousand taels, while the good ones may be sold for eight to nine thousand taels, or even ten thousand taels. Because the yield of the fruit trees varies every year, the price is also different, so it is difficult to calculate the exact amount."

"Hmm..." Su Yunluo didn't care about that little bit of money. Not to mention 30-70, 50-50 would be fine.

But, she couldn't agree to them right away.

"I can't promise you this yet. We have to wait until the fruits are ripe this year before making a decision."

Maybe they just want to increase their income.

But Su Yunluo still wanted to see it with his own eyes before making a decision.

"When the fruit is ripe, will we still be able to find you?"

"Of course, I should come here when the time comes. If not, you can go to the capital to find me."

"Okay! That's fine, we'll just leave now."

Although the three people were a little disappointed because they didn't come to an agreement, they were still very polite in their words and actions.

On the third day after arriving here, Su Yunluo finally had time to walk around the manor.

The rare flowers and plants she had tricked from Hu Li were well placed.

She also saw the big lake in the manor.

It’s very big, about seven or eight acres.

Look at the color of the water. The area around it is quite shallow, but the middle should be very deep.

Even with such low temperatures in winter, there are still many fish swimming in the lake, which means there are definitely a lot of fish in this lake.

In addition, she also saw a huge chestnut tree.

Very, very big.

There are many smaller chestnut trees growing around, but they are actually quite large, and the smaller ones are probably hundreds of years old.

The largest chestnut tree is probably about seven or eight hundred years old!

"It is said that these small chestnut trees are the descendants of the big chestnut tree." Eighteen introduced.
