Chapter 268: Choosing a Bookboy
Butcher Yun looked at the taro in the basket in surprise. He picked up a taro and took a look, and found that the taro was quite big.
"Over there are dried peppercorns. The two little guys picked quite a lot of peppercorns, enough for us to use for a while."
Butcher Yun looked along Zhang's arm and saw a small piece of bright red Sichuan peppercorns, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Wife, I didn't expect there were taro and peppercorns on the mountain. As far as I know, there are no such things near the foot of the mountain."
"The two kids went somewhere this afternoon. It must have been far. No wonder they were so tired that they fell asleep."
"Yiyi discovered this pepper tree a while ago. She had planned to only pick peppers this afternoon. Unexpectedly, she discovered taro."
"The children's baskets were not big, so after filling them with taro there was no space left, so the two children came down the mountain so early today."
Butcher Yun smiled softly. It turned out that the eldest and second oldest children understood Yiyi. There was no one to help carry the basket, and the two children went down the mountain early.
"Okay, boss, you take a rest for a while and take the eldest and second sons to cut the grass. I have to go cook."
"Okay, wife, go ahead."
Zhang cut two large potatoes, added a few dried chilies, and made a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds.
She felt that the food was a little insufficient, so she fried five eggs with wild onions. A large plate of fried eggs, golden and tempting.
After a while, Yun the butcher brought over a pack of braised beef in soy sauce, and Zhang cut a plate of it. She put the rest of the braised beef in soy sauce away.
Zhang covered the food on the table with a clean cloth.
At this moment, Yun the Butcher took Brother Yun (Big Brother) and Brother Yun (Second Brother) out to cut grass and had not returned yet.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were also sleeping soundly.
Zhang looked up at the sky. It was still early, so there was no rush to eat.
She took out a basket from the mule cart and continued to make cotton clothes for everyone.
The whole family had to make cotton clothes, but Zhang was the only one who took the time to do it, so they were very rushed.
Zhang often worried that it was snowing but she had not finished making cotton clothes for everyone.
Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, just keep working hard. Zhang held the needle and sewed the sleeves of the clothes quickly.
Most families in the village now have one person specially assigned to prepare winter cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Especially for families with many children, they have to work overtime.
At this time, food is important, but warm clothing is equally important.
If you don’t have food to eat, you will starve to death. If the winter is too cold, you will also freeze to death.
Although the villagers don't have much knowledge, they still have a lot of life experience passed down from generation to generation.
Especially those who have elderly people at home should arrange these things in an orderly manner. At this time, an old person in the family is like a treasure.
In Shilin Town, in a very small inn.
"Sir, we went to the refugee group outside Shilin Town today to inquire about the news and found that there are still a lot of refugees."
“And several refugee teams said they have been here for too long and want to leave as soon as possible.”
"Have you spread the news about the Qingfeng Village bandits that I asked you to spread?"
"My Lord, when we were all trying to get information, we had already inadvertently conveyed the brutality of the Qingfeng Village bandits to the refugees."
"The refugees reacted strongly after hearing what we said. I guess they must have asked around in town for information, but it wasn't as comprehensive as what we gave them."
"Okay, send a few more people out tomorrow. Let's try to let the refugees outside Shilin Town know in the shortest possible time that the bandits in Qingfeng Village are not to be trifled with."
"Sir, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will withdraw."
Li Huailiang sat there and thought for a while, "Did you find any bandits from Qingfeng Village today?"
"Your Excellency, no bandits were found. There are only refugees outside Shilin Town."
"We did find some suspicious people in town today. I'll send someone to keep an eye on them tomorrow. By the way, when you go outside, keep an eye out for any particularly smart kids?"
"Sir, how old of a child are you looking for? Boy or girl?"
"I'm not looking for children. I want to pick a few servants to serve the young master."
"The young master's servant should not be too old. About six or seven years old will be fine. Pay attention to both boys and girls."
"I want a child who is well-proportioned and articulate. Of course, we'll have to screen them again after we send them to the mansion."
"Keep an eye out for kids of this age. If you see one, don't act rashly. Take me to have a look first."
"After we get rid of the bandits in Qingfeng Village, we will discuss the child's matter with his parents."
"Your Excellency, let's keep an eye out for them when we go there tomorrow. However, there are so many children that it's hard to choose."
"I know this. As long as they are around six or seven years old, as long as they fit this age, you can observe them all."
"Or, let us find two of our people to pretend to be peddlers going from village to village, and bring more candies and snacks that children like to eat."
"Also prepare more needles and thread. This way, you can attract a lot of children when you go."
"Sir, your idea is good. I will now select someone with excellent eloquence to pretend to be a peddler."
Li Huailiang thought for a moment and added, "It would be best if it was someone from the area who could speak the local language. The refugees would not be so repulsive."
"Okay, that's it. Go down and make the arrangements."
"I will retire at the end."
Li Huailiang waved his hand, and after everyone left, he began to write a letter to the eldest prince.
He waited until the secret letter was written and taken away by the carrier pigeon before he sat down to rest.
He has been in Shilin Town for a whole day today. He estimated that it is unlikely that the young master is hiding in Shilin Town.
The main reason is that Shilin Town itself is not very big. If there really are outsiders, they can be found by asking around.
Besides, the young master was only accompanied by a nanny, and he didn't think the nanny had enough money to settle down in Shilin Town.
Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the young master is hiding in the refugee group outside the city.
This place is the only way to go south. If the young master plans to return home, he will definitely come here.
Therefore, there is still time for him to inquire among the refugee groups outside the city.
I hope there will be good news tomorrow, Li Huailiang prayed secretly.
Meanwhile, the Yun family had already started their dinner.
It's not even dark today and we've already started eating dinner. It can be said to be one of the earlier dinners recently.
Yun Yiyi put a large spoonful of spicy and sour potato shreds and a spoonful of golden scrambled eggs into the burrito, and finally put the braised beef that Zhang had chopped.
Yun Yiyi rolled up the pancake carefully to prevent the meat and vegetables from leaking out.
