The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 593 Cavalry Guard

However, for such a big happy event, we have to invite the whole village to a banquet.

As for what to eat, in the words of the old men: "If nothing tastes better than dumplings, let's eat dumplings."

In the entire Tangjia Village, not only were the stoves of the nine clans used, but many families in the village also took down their own large iron pots.

The simply built stove was all steaming and there was water boiling in the pot.

The men collected water from the tap and poured it into the pot bucket by bucket.

The women brought out cabbage, pumpkin, leeks and all other vegetables that could be used as stuffing from every household.

Every household also took out fine noodles. If it weren't for the current homes of the nine clans, they wouldn't be able to afford to invite everyone to eat.

But it happened suddenly, and going to buy it now would delay things, but Father Shen said: "Kill the pigs, kill more, and there must be big lumps of meat in the dumplings."

There's nothing I can do. The old man is just so honest. He hasn't eaten many particularly good things. For us farmers, eating meat is the best thing.

Some were clinking stuffing, while others were rushing to knead the dough.

With the women's skillful hands, they pinched and stuffed the plump, thin noodles dumplings into the pot one by one.

There are all kinds of fillings, you can eat whatever you want.

But working can't stop women from talking, and the key is that they are not very honest, which some people are discussing now.

"Oh, how long has Yangjia Village been against our village? If we hadn't become a military supply village, they wouldn't have been so happy to leave after the incident with the scholar last time.

Now, our village has an uncle, and Yangjia Village is still the uncle's fiefdom in our village."

"Huh? Of course, now that you said that, I really went to Yangjia Village to take a look at those people in the village who like to pick on others and see if they dare to say anything bad to me. After all, we work under the lady of the lord."

In fact, it seems that the young wife who was speaking is no pushover. It seems that the young wives in Yangjia Village are really going to hold their breath.

No one expected that the two villages had been fighting for so many years and their strength had always been equal.

But suddenly, a group of people fleeing famine came. When they first arrived, some villagers of Yangjia Village gloated over their misfortune. What did they say?

"Other villages send a few households, but your village sends a group. It will be difficult to manage them and you will be a hindrance."

But now?

It was this group of people fleeing famine who directly led to Tangjia Village becoming a military supply village. Now it is even better, with an earl in the village.

How can women not feel proud?

Just then, a woman said: "Today, we are happily making dumplings. Uncle Changshuan said that we should put enough meat in the dumplings. I can smell the fragrance before I even eat them.

I just don’t know if those people in Yangjia Village can eat anymore. The more I think about it, the happier I feel. I guess I can even eat one more bowl of dumplings.”

"Why are you so mean? Ahahahaha!"

It was obvious that this laughter touched her heart.

The men had almost finished their physical work, so they moved out the table to play mahjong. There was enough mahjong at this time.

Although there are still many people who are not good at playing, or don’t like to play, they just like to stand and watch others play.

But there were also many who took part in it personally.

Everywhere:

"bump".

"Hongzhong."

"Ninety thousand."

"Bar!"

"Huh"

It was really lively, and people didn't play with big money, just a few coins, just a little gambling for fun.

The sun shines on their smiling faces.

Grandpa Tang used the teacup as a wine glass, gestured towards Grandpa Shen as if he was going to clink glasses with him, and winked.

"Look what I said, your little third son is always like this."

As he said this, he even raised his thumb to gesture.

As for Master Shen, he was not polite at all and nodded: "Since my third son passed the imperial examination, I knew that the prosperity of the clan would depend on him in the future."

The tone of his voice was no longer the panic, confusion and ignorance he had before fleeing the famine.

The tall hunter beside him also echoed:

"I also saw it while fleeing from the famine. It will definitely be the right thing to follow the little third son in the future. When you have nothing to do at home, you should often educate those grandchildren. Learn more from your third uncle. Everything your third uncle does is knowledgeable."

Doctor Guo stroked his beard and said, "That's called gestures."

"Right, right, it's all about gestures. I've remembered it this time. Hahahaha, Hu!"

Gao Liehu was very happy because he won again by himself. His luck was so good.

At Shen Zhiqiu's house, there were Shen Youyou, Li Jingshu, and Shen Luming who was always following behind happily.

The four of them came back to retrieve the imperial edict, the four treasures of the study bestowed by the emperor, and other things corresponding to the earl's status.

It’s true that there were quite a lot of things. Officials of Dayan used ivory cards as passes, which were divided into five types, among which dukes, marquises and earls belonged to the "Xun" card.

All earls also have such ivory cards as a symbol of identity and proof of entry and exit.

Of course, the earl’s official uniform, jade belt, and jade crown are also indispensable.

"Dad, didn't the eunuch who delivered the decree say that you can have your own cavalry guards? How many people can you recruit?"

Shen Zhiqiu straightened the tray containing the official uniforms:

"It is said that a general earl has 50 men, and your father, with special approval from His Majesty, can have 100. I am thinking that when your brother Erhu and the others come back, they will not be allowed to work in the government office, but come back directly to serve as the personal guards.

It's the same for being a yamen runner. The remaining guys will also join the imperial guards. If there are any vacancies later, we will select them in Tangjia Village so that the wealth will not flow to outsiders."

Shen Youyou had no objection to this, but still reminded him: "The cavalry guards are here to protect you anyway. Even if we don't plan to find people with strong martial arts skills, the ones we recruit from the village in the future must be strictly trained."

She was mainly worried about the issue of new march supplies. On the surface, her father was responsible for the reputation. Although the situation outside the Great Wall was almost peaceful now, the situation in Guanzhong was still tense.

If other princes knew about the existence of such a person as his father, he would have to eliminate his opponent's trump card first, even at the cost of sacrificing his own undercover agent.

She was not just worrying about this matter, it was very likely to happen.

Shen Zhiqiu is not a fool. He understands what his daughter says.

What's more, Old Shen cherishes his life very much, so not only the newly recruited boys from the village, but also the boys in his own family in the future, have to work harder.

He was even thinking about asking Fu Huaian for help and seeing if there were any veterans with good skills who could be loaned out to him to train these guys.

But these are all later matters. The most important thing now is eating.

Shen Youyou was already starving. She wanted to eat the ones with leek and bacon filling, cabbage and pork filling, green onion and pork filling, and even pumpkin and pork filling.

So she held her own bowl, which was filled with leeks and bacon, and from time to time she would take a piece from her brother's and Erya's bowls.

You might think that's the end of it, but she doesn't just dip the dumplings in acetic acid, she also mixes some sesame paste in them.

Again, the dumplings would be more fragrant without the chili oil.

Especially this time, there was plenty of meat. Not only was Shen Youyou satisfied with every bite, but even the little kids had their mouths drooling with oil.
