There were six people on the other side, but they were no match for Yongxing at all. Before they could even jump twice, they were all knocked down by Yongxing.
The snow was getting heavier, and Meng Shijie and his men had no intention of taking these people to the yamen.
It’s better to go home quickly. As for these people, they fell in the snow.
If they are unlucky and freeze to death in the snow, it will be considered God's punishment.
However, Meng Shijie counter-robbed the six people and took all their money.
Even though these six people were poor, they only managed to find about thirty copper coins in total.
Meng Shijie gave another kick, "Bad luck!"
Then he divided the thirty-seven coins equally, and gave the extra three coins to the main force Yongxing.
Yongxing people...
"Don't think it's too little, this is their compensation to us, let's go."
After thinking about it, they decided it would be a waste.
It was lunchtime when they got home.
"You only bought this little bit. It's snowing so heavily now, and I always feel uneasy about this little bit of food."
Mr. Meng looked at the full cart of grain with a worried look on his face.
"Then I'll go buy some more after dinner so I can be back before dark."
Meng Shijie also felt that it was not enough, especially compared with the Zhou family and Yongjia.
"Don't go today. The snow is so heavy and the roads are difficult to walk on. We may not be able to get back before dark. Let's go tomorrow."
Chen also felt sorry for her son. He thought it must be very cold traveling back and forth on the road in such cold weather.
When Mr. Meng saw his wife speaking, he nodded.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow.
It happened that I went up the mountain to collect firewood with a cart in the afternoon."
Mr. Meng said this and went to check on the old cow himself, telling him not to get too tired.
Judging from his appearance, he loves the cow more than his own son.
Cows are the most valuable possessions for farmers.
After dinner, except for Leng Yingshuang and her three children, everyone else in the family went up the mountain to collect firewood.
There is strength in numbers and the effect is significant.
In two days, the Meng family picked out two large piles of firewood and a dozen waist-thick rotten wood. Together with the two large piles of straw originally from the Yang family and their remaining firewood, it was enough to last for a while.
However, everyone decided that as long as the road was passable and the snow had not melted, they would go up the mountain to continue picking up snow.
Leng Yingshuang was not idle at home either, because she found that the two pots of soybeans and mung beans soaked by her father-in-law had sprouted and grown almost two inches long. After her daughter said that they were ready to eat, she soaked two more pots.
Apart from that little bit of food, the most abundant thing at home is beans. There are several large bags of them, at least five or six hundred kilograms.
It was also found in the cellar.
I guess it hasn't been sold yet.
[Wow, these bean sprouts grow so fast, they can be eaten in one day!
Stir-fried bean sprouts, bean sprout soup, and hot pot bean sprouts are all delicious~]
Meng Shuyan was drooling as she looked at the plump, white and tender bean sprouts.
Under normal circumstances, soaked bean sprouts need three or four days to be eaten, but the bean sprouts they make can be eaten in one day.
Meng Shuyan felt that it had something to do with keeping it warm on the kang, and the spiritual spring water was probably the most crucial factor.
No matter what, their family will not have to worry about having no vegetables to eat this winter.
She was anxious again about when she would grow up, and she wanted to eat those delicious foods.
Now looking at the plump, emerald green edamame pods in the space, my mouth waters even more.
The mung beans will be ready for harvest in another day.
This was what she came up with last night when she sprinkled two handfuls of beans into the space while her grandfather was soaking beans.
She confiscated the first crop and let it mature naturally.
When they get old, they take root and sprout again.
The current batch is the second batch.
The beans themselves are in the space, expanding the planting area.
Meng Shuyan decided not to harvest the second batch of beans, allowing them to expand their planting area again on their own.
Mr. Meng, who was soaking beans, had already forgotten about this matter.
These past two days he has been collecting firewood in the mountains with his sons and grandchildren.
When I came back in the evening, I heard my daughter-in-law say that the beans he soaked had sprouted.
The whole family came to see the novelty.
"How do you eat this?"
"Just put some oil and salt in the pan and stir-fry."
Leng Yingshuang told her daughter about the method of stir-frying bean sprouts.
That night, the Meng family ate tender and crispy bean sprouts. Even Meng Lihou and Meng Liqian liked them, not to mention the adults.
“These bean sprouts are really good!
It tastes much better than wild vegetables.
Dad, run a little more."
Meng Shijie felt that he had not eaten enough.
"Make more and I'll sell the rest."
Meng Shijie thought he could try it tomorrow.
"Then don't eat the rest. I'll try it tomorrow."
His family only spends money here and never earns any money, so he wants to do some small business.
Otherwise, what will the family eat?
And this is what my daughter said.
Mr. Meng didn't expect that his youngest son had the same idea as him, and he agreed very much.
"Then wait until tomorrow to make some and give them to the other families to try."
Mr. Meng originally wanted to send some bean sprouts to the Zhou family.
Since the Zhou family has given it, the other families can't be left behind either.
“I think you should just tell them how to make it and let them make it themselves.
This saves them from having to eat and wanting more, and then being embarrassed to ask us for more. They will definitely ask how you made it."
I have to say that Chen’s consideration was correct.
After listening to his wife, Mr. Meng went to several other families and taught them how to soak bean sprouts.
After eating and drinking, it was dark and the whole village was plunged into darkness. As soon as the sky was bright, Meng Shijie got up. He wanted to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible.
When I opened the door, I saw that the snow outside was not as heavy as yesterday, and the snow was about half a foot thick.
If it gets any thicker, it will be really difficult to go out.
The other three families felt that they had enough food and did not plan to buy more today. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Yongxing decided to go with them.
The Zhou and Wang families were also planning to go along, but were persuaded by Meng Shijie to stop.
"You don't have to go. Brother Yongxing is so powerful. He's all we need. You should just stay home and collect more firewood."
Only then did the Meng family realize that they had been robbed yesterday.
