Zhou Yu and Zheng Yan had been silently watching Fan Qian's family. Seeing that they had all heard, they exchanged a glance with Chao Dani and the other two.

The five of them found an open space, picked up hoes, and started digging.

Feng Da and the other men split up into groups. Some were responsible for loading the donkeys onto the carts, while others drove them to the fields. They would switch roles when they returned, so that driving the carts served as a rest.

Basket after basket of soil was continuously carried onto the donkey cart. Once the cart was full, it would set off first, and then the next cart would take its place.

Donkey carts traveled back and forth on the road, forming long convoys that stretched endlessly.

The villagers were stunned to see Li Dani and the other four women working!

How come he's even more formidable than those men!

While they were digging one basket of soil, Li Dani and her friends had already dug two baskets; their strength was unlike that of women.

Fan Erzhu and the others lowered their heads unconsciously, their faces extremely gloomy and ugly. They had actually been outshone by a few women!

It's not that we've lost out, it's that we've fallen into a mud pit!

"What men or women? When the five of us were in the village, many men couldn't beat us!"

"Besides, since we came here, we eat three meals a day, and every meal is full of food. How could we not have energy?"

When a woman asked, the five men replied with smiles.

Fan Erzhu and the others gritted their teeth so hard they felt like they were about to break.

A group of servants eating three meals a day?

And there's dry food with every meal!

What kind of family property is this? Do Uncle and Aunt even know how to live? Do they know how to treat servants?

Did they think they were Magistrate Wu? No, that's not right. Even at Magistrate Wu's house, Fan Damu only had two meals of dry food.

Li Dani and her group of five glanced at Fan Qian's family, wondering if they would jump up if they knew that they were eating cornmeal and occasionally having white rice porridge or wheat flour dumplings.

"The landlord went to the prefectural city today and bought donkeys and black flour, and even a lot of pork fat, which he distributed to our four families according to the number of people in each family."

“We said that the jar of lard we received last time hasn’t been touched much yet, but my wife said that she needs to do heavy physical labor during this period, so she should use more lard when cooking, and the lard cracklings can also be used for stewing. This is specifically for replenishing her strength during the busy farming season.”

"The thought of going home and having meat to eat gives us so much energy!"

"The landlord also gave each of us a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. He said that we might not be able to eat meat every day, but we could still get eggs."

Our employer is absolutely wonderful!

"You probably won't find anything this good anywhere else. The boss said there will be rewards if I do well in the future."

......

Listening to the cheerful chatter over there, Fan Qian and his family felt that tomorrow's burritos didn't taste so good anymore.

Pork cracklings, lard, chicken, duck, goose, and eggs! They can only eat these a few times a year.

Especially pork cracklings and pork fat, those are real, juicy oils. Add a spoonful of pork fat when stir-frying a dish, and the dish will have a meaty flavor, it's incredibly fragrant.

If you mix rice with lard, the taste... Fan Erzhu and the other two swallowed hard.

Fan Qian took a deep breath, and said, "Father has an idea. What do you think?"

Fan Erzhu and the other two looked up at Fan Qian.

What good ideas could Dad possibly have?

Could it be that you're thinking of borrowing the donkey cart from your second uncle? But we've tried before, and it never worked.

"It's about Zhao Di..."
