Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Liu Donglai asked Shuanzi to follow, and the other cars went straight back to the village first.

Liu Xu went to the shop where they usually bought meat, but it was a little late and the stall was closed.

After asking around, I found out the butcher's surname was Gao and he lived in the second house in the alley not far away.

When they arrived at the place, Liu Donglai reached out and knocked on the door. Footsteps were heard from inside, and then the door was opened. A middle-aged man in his forties with a strong physique appeared in front of them.

"Who are you looking for?" Butcher Gao asked Liu Donglai and Shuanzi with a frown. He was a butcher and was very sensitive to evil spirits. The two people in front of him were not ordinary people.

"Uncle Gao, it's me? A girl from Liujia Village!" Liu Xu poked her head out from beside her father.

"Oh, it's Miss Liu, who are these two?" Looking at the catkins, Butcher Gao felt a little more at ease.

"This is my dad, and this is my uncle, Uncle Gao. We came to you to buy a pig!"

Seeing his girl looking so familiar with everything she did wherever she went, Liu Donglai felt both proud and distressed.

"It turns out to be the Liu brothers. Please come in!" Liu Xu's family is an old customer of his family, so Butcher Gao quickly welcomed them into the house.

At the same time, he shouted to the kitchen: "Mother, quickly pour some cups of tea!"

Liu Donglai quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Gao, don't bother your sister-in-law. We just want to talk to you about something and we have to go home right away."

"It's okay, it's okay, brothers, little girl, please sit down quickly. The room is a bit shabby, don't be disgusted!"

"Brother Gao, what are you talking about?" The four of them came to the main room and sat down. Gao's wife served them tea and went back to the kitchen.

"Brother Gao, it's a little late, so I won't beat around the bush. My daughter just said that we came to buy pigs from you, but... this may be a bit too much. I want to ask how many you can collect in two days?"

"Hmm? How much do you want to buy? A whole head or something?"

"A whole pig, including all the internal organs. We need at least thirty pigs weighing about 200 kilograms! Is it possible to buy them?"

Butcher Gao was a little surprised. Is Liujia Village prosperous? Every household is slaughtering pigs for the New Year.

"No problem, but do you want him alive or killed?"

"Alive! Come to my house and kill it!" Liu Xu replied. She wanted to make pig blood sausage!

Liu Dong looked at his daughter and nodded to Butcher Gao, "Then come to my house and kill it before dark tomorrow. Is that possible?"

Butcher Gao thought for a moment before saying, "No problem, but I have to come over tomorrow afternoon to kill the pigs! Would you mind preparing the water and place to scald the pig hair?"

"No problem! This is the deposit. It doesn't matter if you buy more, but you can't buy less!" Liu Donglai took out a silver note of fifty taels and handed it to Butcher Gao.

"Okay, no problem! Big pigs over 200 yuan are 2 taels each, and small pigs between 150 yuan and 200 yuan are 1 tael and 6 cents each."

"Okay! Then we'll take our leave first. Thank you for trouble, Brother Gao!" After saying that, Liu Donglai and the other two stood up and said goodbye.

After Butcher Gao personally sent the man away, he said something to his wife and went out.

Liu Donglai and the other two drove the carriage back to the village.

It was almost dark when I got home, and the Liu family's yard was already set up.

Liu Xu discovered that when Mu Lingxuan and his friends came, the meal at her house was like a wedding banquet...

This time it was even more grand because it was her father who came back. Look, the village head, the second grandfather, the second grandfather, the third grandfather, they were all here, plus her grandfather, Doctor Meng, and Housekeeper Xu, the old men had their own table.

Liu Changshun waited for a whole day and night, and finally saw someone. He rushed up and gave him a bear hug, "Second brother!"

Liu Dong hugged him back and forth, let go, and patted his shoulder, "Good brother, thank you for your family!"

"We are brothers, why are you saying that! If it weren't for girl Xu, our family wouldn't be where it is today!" Liu Changshun scratched his head and smiled naively.

"Okay, let's go in and sit down. We won't leave until we're drunk today!"

After returning to the main courtyard, Liu Donglai greeted the elders first. When he saw Xu Hean, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Liu Donglai greets Uncle An, brother!"

"No, no, please sit down, son-in-law!" Xu Hean quickly stood up and helped him up.

After everyone greeted each other, they all sat down.

Now that the man is at home, Xu Ruolan doesn't need to go to the main table to entertain guests, and sits at a table with the female family members.

Fortunately, Liu Xu had asked Uncle He to prepare a few shabu-shabu pots beforehand, otherwise it would have been difficult to arrange.

Before the meal started, Liu Donglai, as the host, gave some words of thanks and everyone raised their glasses together.

Uncle He lit torches in the yard, which were much brighter than lanterns and candles.

Mu Lingxuan finally got to eat the hotpot that Liu Xu had mentioned, and coupled with the spicy dishes that were prepared for him at noon, he was so excited!

It's both spicy and numb, and your whole body will feel warm after just two bites. If the soldiers had this, the winter would be easier to endure.

As for the taste, he has eaten many dishes made by the imperial chefs, and to be honest, they are also delicious, but comparing the two, it can be said that each has its own merits!

Liu Donglai and others also ate it for the first time and praised it highly.

"After eating this soup pot, I feel like what I ate before was pig food!"

"Hahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about? If you have the guts, go back and tell your sister-in-law about this."

"Does he dare? Hahahaha!"

"Look at how cocky the boss is. I want to take that girl Xu back home!"

"Then think about it first. How many blows can you withstand from Dong Lai?"

Because there were too many people, we didn't have a barbecue today, but the yard was still bustling.

Because they were all family, they talked much more enthusiastically than when Captain Yao and his group did before. From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard, or the old men's laughter and scolding.

Especially after drinking, they became even more unrestrained. Our Captain Liu took his people to visit tables everywhere.

As a result, before they even finished their dinner, not only were all the old men carried back, but the others were not much better off. Even Mu Lingxuan had to be helped back to his room by Xuan Yi.

The meal lasted until the end of the hour of Hai. If Liu Donglai hadn't told them that they had to go hunting the next day, they would have gotten themselves drunk.
