Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

When Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu heard that there was twenty taels of silver and a wheelbarrow, they were happy and stopped making a fuss.

They figured that even if they sold all three girls, they might not be able to get ten taels of silver. They would have to sell them sooner or later anyway, and they just couldn't bear to part with their eldest son.

It’s not that they have much affection for their eldest son, but they think he is a capable worker. As the saying goes, the eldest son and grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady, and they are reluctant to let their youngest son suffer.

After all, most of the housework is done by the eldest son. However, the son has alienated himself from them now, and even if he stays, he is not as obedient as before.

This way they could get twenty taels of silver and a wheelbarrow to help pull things, which seemed like a good deal.

If she continued to make trouble and really irritated Dazhu, and forced him to split up the family business, not only would she not get the twenty taels of silver, but she might also have her things taken away from her, and he would definitely not let her sell those three money-losing items again.

Yun Duo nodded and agreed without hesitation, and then asked the old man Yun and Wu, "Mr. Wu, do you also agree to sell Uncle Wu's family to my family as servants?"

Yun Duo could tell from the faces of Old Man Wu and his wife that they agreed, but she still asked symbolically.

Old Man Wu put the pipe in his mouth and took a puff. "You've already decided on this rebellious son, but you're still asking me what to do. I'll just pretend that I never gave birth to this rebellious son."

Yun Duo smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, Zhaodi, Pandi, and Laidi, please stand up." She then turned to the village chief Chu and said, "Grandpa Chu, can you please help write a contract of sale and serve as a witness? It's not appropriate for my family to write this."

Village chief Chu nodded in agreement, then took the paper and pen that Han Lai had just brought over, and wrote a contract of sale on a flat stone, and asked Old Man Wu, Old Lady Wu, and Wu Dazhu's family of five to put their fingerprints on it.

The villagers who were watching the excitement looked at Wu Dazhu's family of five and expressed sympathy. They knew that a family was forced to sell themselves into slavery because they had no other choice.

Generally speaking, as long as one can still survive, even if he has to eat coarse food, he will never easily sell himself to become someone else's servant.

Because once you become a servant, it means that you will completely cut off contact with your original family, and your life and death will be decided by your master.

Later, as time went by, their family's status gradually rose with the Yun family, and their lives became better and better. They were the envy of many people, who praised Wu Dazhu for his foresight. There were also many people who regretted that they did not have the courage of Wu Dazhu, but that is a story for later.

Yun Duo collected the indenture with the fingerprints on it, and then handed the twenty taels of silver to Wu Dazhui. Han Lai pushed the wheelbarrow over and gave it to Wu Dazhui as well.

Wu Dazhu handed the silver to Old Man Wu, and then brought his three daughters to kowtow to Old Man Wu and his wife again, "Dad and Mom, this is the last time I kowtow to you two. From now on, I will be a servant of the Yun family. I hope you take care of yourself."

Wu Dazhu handed the wheelbarrow to Wu Sanzhu again, "Sanzhu, I can't help you with the work anymore. This wheelbarrow is the last thing I can do for you. Don't forget what I just said, you two must be filial to your parents."

After saying that, he supported Zhao Di Niang, who was able to stand up, and walked towards the Yun family with his three daughters.

This little episode at the Wu family did not affect Hunter Zhao. He skillfully arranged the men to skin and bone the black bear; the hair removal and gutting of the wild boar were all in full swing.

The internal organs were taken out and placed in a large basin.

Yun Duo finally had a fight with the best in ancient times and rescued several oppressed women, and she was in a very good mood.

The women and children who were assigned by each family to clean the sewage also carried basins of sewage to the river.

Han Lai shouted to the crowd again, "Miss Yun is in a good mood today, so she decided to let the workers who came to clean the sewers eat here. Each person will have a coarse flour bun and a bowl of offal soup."

Han Lai shouted in the direction of the Wu family, "Mrs. Wu, our Miss Yun said that you can come over tonight to get a bowl of bone soup, and we will also give you a piece of braised meat. We want Aunt Wu to replenish her body. After all, Brother Dazhu is also your flesh and blood.

The meat has been recovered. From now on, your family has nothing to do with Wu Dazhu's family. Please don't disturb Wu Dazhu's family, otherwise she will be rude.

Old Mrs. Wu was really both happy and angry. She was happy that she could eat meat, but she was angry that her good son was sold to others as a servant by a few unlucky people. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten how happy she was when she received the silver.

At this time, those who did not come to work regretted it so much, and asked Han Lai the guard if they needed more people to work. Han Lai simply refused, "Sorry, we have enough people, no more."

Han Lai continued, "The remaining braised meat, offal and bone soup will be divided equally among the thirty or so people who participated in the hunt. Everyone should prepare the tools to load the meat. When they are ready, Second Madam of the Yun Family will call everyone over to load the meat.

There was another round of cheers from adults and children in the crowd.

Most people don’t know what meat soup is, but it sounds delicious.

At first, Grandma Sitang and Yun Qingcao also wanted to come over to wash, but were stopped by Lin Gao.

He could get a portion of the bone soup and braised pork. There were only six people in their two families, and his portion was enough for them. There was no need to work for a bowl of soup.

When Lin Gao decided to have dinner with his fourth grandmother's family, he was worried that his grandmother would feel embarrassed to eat with them when she saw that his family only had refined rice, and she might even cook separately for them, so he mixed the rice from the two families together.

Fourth Grandma happily went to cook rice and steam a pot of steamed buns for tomorrow's meal. Xiao Shunzi followed her to fetch water and firewood.

Yun Qingcao glanced at Lin Gao sheepishly, blushing and whispering, "Thank you, Brother Lin!"

After saying that, she ran to help her grandma with a red face.

Ten large pots were set up on the open space beside the creek. These pots were all unused ones borrowed from various households.

A large pot of coarse flour buns were steamed in it, and they could be stacked up in several layers on the steamer, which was enough for the workers to share.

Five pots were used to make the bone soup, two for the braising liquid and two for the head and trotters and the cut meat.

The onions, ginger, seasonings and salt for the soup were provided by Yunduo.

The steamed buns promised to be distributed to the workers were made of rough flour brought by Yun Duo, who also secretly mixed some white flour and quick-leaving powder into it.

It can ensure that each worker gets a large steamed bun, and the leftovers are enough for the family to eat in the evening.
