Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

"If it weren't for you, could the stone have grown legs and run into my mouth?" Dashan was still relentless, but his tone was obviously much softer.

Of course stones can't grow legs, but everyone is not stupid. It's just that the cousin of the Fan family is obviously not someone to be trifled with.

Then, everyone laughed and said, "Is there a possibility that maybe, probably, a gust of wind just happened to pick up the stone, and then it just happened to fall into your mouth?"

"That's unlikely. I think it was most likely a bird. Some birds here eat rocks. It just accidentally fell into your mouth."

These reasons were more outrageous than the last, but Dashan actually took them seriously. He nodded seriously, "Yes, I know what kind of people you are. This kind of prank is really not worth it."

As soon as this was said, others immediately echoed: "The mountains are open and bright."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Dashan is an open-minded person. So the butcher has to trouble Dashan." Dashan was obviously very pleased with the flattery. He didn't care that his gums were still bleeding and responded, "No problem, no problem."

The group of people were laughing and carrying the wild boar, making quite a noise. When they saw Dashan's mouth bulging with blood, they immediately misunderstood. "Dashan, did you really go into the mountains?"

"Dashan, you must have made a lot of money from the Fan family these days! Do you have enough energy to go hunting?"

"Dashan, why don't you think of me when you have such a good thing? I'm so poor that I can't even afford a pair of pants—"

"The mountain..."

"The mountain..."

Some brave people even wanted to take over the pole from Dashan, which would also be considered as their contribution. If they continued to negotiate with Dashan, they might also get a share of the meat.

So Chu Ci and the others watched helplessly as Dashan was forcibly pushed aside. In order to prevent Dashan from speaking up and regretting his decision, a group of people surrounded him and talked non-stop.

It was not until the wild boar was carried away from the center of the village and brought to the front of the Fan family that those who were trying to take advantage of the situation realized something was wrong. "Dashan, has the wild boar found a buyer?"

But most people still don't believe it. "Aren't the Fan family nobles? Do nobles also eat this fishy and smelly wild boar meat?"

Look at what he said, he actually wants to forcibly separate the Fan family from Jingtian Village.

Can Chu Ci give in? "Did you misunderstand something? This wild boar was killed by my husband. If you don't believe me, look at the wound on the neck. Is it exactly the same as the dagger in my husband's hand?"

Fan Jingrui also cooperated and took out the dagger that was flashing with cold light.

"Well, I misunderstood. I thought the meat was hunted by Dashan and his men, so I wanted to exchange some for it." This man's attitude changed really quickly.

The people of Jingtian Village are really chameleons! Should I do something like "there will always be a brave man under a big reward" and put the pig farming plan on the agenda?

Thinking of this, Chu Ci gently pulled Fan Jingrui's sleeve and said, "Husband, come closer to my ear."

Fan Jingrui immediately knew that his wife had a new idea. As expected, she wanted to raise pigs. The first step was to invite everyone in Jingtian Village to eat the pig-killing meal.

What else could Fan Jingrui do? Of course he would give his full support. He then told Mr. Fan about the many benefits of raising pigs.

Finally, Chu Ci's father-in-law, Fan Chongchang, the head of the next generation of the Fan family, stood up and said loudly:

"The Fan family has just arrived in the village, and we are grateful for your care. Although this wild boar was hunted by my son, I am afraid that I would not be able to return safely without your help. Therefore, my Fan family decided to hold a pig-killing banquet today using this wild boar. I hope all the villagers will come and enjoy it!"

To sum up, the Fan family invited everyone in Jingtian Village to eat meat for free.

Eat meat for free! These four words were like a bombshell dropped on the crowd.

Meat, you know, people here can hardly eat it a few times in their lifetime. The Fan family was so generous to invite the whole village, whether it was a show or had other purposes, at least the benefits they got were real.

So, without Chu Ci having to worry about anything, the village chief invited the butcher next door, and the villagers also came to help spontaneously.

There were not enough tables, so the village chief called out and soon more than 20 tables were moved to the open space in front of the Fan family.

The village chief's wife, along with the young and old wives in the village, found Chu Ci. "Madam, is there anything we can do to help?"

"My eldest sister and the others are worried, Mrs. Village Chief, you came at the right time. After Minglu and the others have washed the intestines, you can stuff the chopped meat into them."

Chu Ci directly assigned the easiest job to the village chief's wife.

Others were busy chopping stuffing or slicing meat, and they were all very tired after working for a long time. But no matter how tired they were, when they smelled the aroma of various meats, their fatigue disappeared.

Furthermore, if they were not mistaken, those mouth-watering dishes were actually made from the most humble of internal organs.

The most incredible thing was the village chief's wife, who witnessed with her own eyes how the stinky pig intestines turned into delicious sausages, and then she felt deeply sorry. "What a pity, this wild boar is not easy to kill."

Chu Ci saw the right moment and said, "Wild boars are hard to catch, but if we domesticate them, the situation will be different! Even if every household only raises one, Jingtian Village will never be short of meat again!"

"Domesticate it into a domestic pig? Is that possible?" If someone else had said this, the village head's wife would have definitely called him a fantasy. But since this was said by Chu Ci, she hesitated. Perhaps, this was not impossible.

"I'll go get my old man. He has to make the decision on this matter."

Chu Ci nodded and made a big promise for her: "I believe the village chief will agree. After all, if we do well, Jingtian Village will be one of the most famous villages in Yazhou in the future. I'm afraid even the mayor and the county magistrate will have to seek advice from the village chief."

Sure enough, the village chief’s wife was even more motivated.

With the village chief's wife as a lobbyist and a real example in front of him, the village chief almost made a decision on the spot: "Madam, you tell me what to do, I will listen to you."

Tsk tsk tsk, the village chief speaks so beautifully, but in fact she is very cunning. If we listen to her, if something goes wrong, will she be held responsible?

"The village chief is a straightforward person. Well, let's sign a contract. You are responsible for organizing the manpower, and I only want wild boars. An adult wild boar is worth two taels of silver, and a wild boar under three months old is worth five taels of silver. And it must be alive. If it is dead, the value is halved. What do you think?"

Chu Ci was also not polite and put himself in an absolutely advantageous position as soon as he opened his mouth.
