Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Boss, you're right. These are the peanuts the children worked so hard to dig up. If they want to eat them, I'll make them."
"Besides, this should be the first time we've boiled peanuts with fresh flowers this year, right?"
Butcher Yun suddenly laughed, "Wife, since the drought, we can hardly afford to eat peanuts, how can we even dare to think of cooking them raw?"
Zhang gave Yun the butcher a cold look and said, "Master, why do you only speak the truth?"
That being said, Yun the Butcher and Zhang left behind seven or eight pounds of fresh peanuts to cook later.
They spread all the remaining peanuts on the mats to dry in the sun.
The midday sun was naturally strong. Based on the current weather, Yun the Butcher estimated that the peanuts would be ready to be stored in bags after drying for three days.
This is really a surprising gain.
Then, Yun the Butcher and Zhang were busy cleaning the wild celery. The children had picked so much wild celery that it needed to be cleaned, drained, and then pickled.
In winter, these are the side dishes that accompany our meals every day. We must pay attention to them.
"Wife, I'm looking at the water in the pitcher. It's draining too fast. In addition to mowing the grass this afternoon, I also have to go up the mountain to fetch water."
Zhang also looked at the pitcher with a headache. "Okay, then Zirui and I will stay home this afternoon. Boss, Zirui is a very fast learner."
"And there's life in this kid's eyes. I really like this kid more and more."
Butcher Yun nodded in agreement. "Wife, I've noticed that too. Zirui is a smart kid. Our eldest and third sons aren't like that. They're sold off and still have to help count the money."
Zhang gave Yun the butcher an unhappy look and said, "How dare you say that about your own children? No matter what their personalities are, they will have their own blessings."
Butcher Yun laughed instantly, but he didn't dare laugh out loud.
"Wife, I understand what you mean. Foolish people have good fortune."
Zhang was so shocked that Yun the Butcher was speechless. How could the head of the family look down on his own child?
However, this also indirectly confirms Xie Zirui's excellence.
Butcher Yun and Zhang were so busy and chattering all afternoon that they didn't even have time to take a nap.
After sleeping for more than an hour, Brother Yun not only woke up himself, but also woke up Brother Yun II, Brother Yun III, and Yun Yiyi.
Of course, Xie Zirui didn't need to go up the mountain. Everyone tacitly lowered their voices and let him sleep a little longer.
Brother Yun and the others also understood that although Zirui did not go up the mountain, he did just as much work at home.
Third Brother Yun and Yun Yiyi were still a little confused.
However, after washing my face, I felt much more energetic.
"Dad, Mom, we are going up the mountain now." Brother Yun lowered his voice.
"Go, boss, and come back early." Zhang warned worriedly.
"I understand, mother."
Zhang and Yun the Butcher waved their hands together.
Brother Yun carried the basket on his back and continued up the mountain under the guidance of Yun Yiyi.
When everyone reached the foot of the mountain, Third Brother Yun dared to speak loudly, "Yiyi, where are we going this afternoon?"
Yun Yiyi paused, "Third brother, let's go first. I'll think about it on the way."
Yun Yiyi has visited all the nearby hills, so she really needs to think carefully about where to go in the afternoon.
At this time, not far from the foot of the mountain in Qingfeng Village, Li Huailiang was leading everyone to discuss the matter of exploring Qingfeng Village at night.
"General, several of our men have already infiltrated the mountain stronghold. However, since they just entered, the places they were assigned to are all unimportant."
"Is there anyone assigned to guard the stronghold's main gate? It would be great if we could get inside tonight and take a look."
"General, the news from yesterday was that two of our men were assigned to guard the gate of the mountain stronghold."
"How many people are guarding the gate of Qingfeng Village?"
"There are four of them, two of whom are our own people. The other two are bandits from the mountain stronghold."
Li Huailiang thought for a moment, "Qingfeng Village's terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we can't enter through the main gate, then we have to find another way out."
"General, according to us, there is a secret entrance behind Qingfeng Village, in the back mountain."
"The bandits used to take that route to transport food and money."
"This main gate of Qingfeng Village is usually used for entry. If they want to leave the village, they usually go through the gate at the back of the mountain."
"Let's not consider the gate at the back mountain for now. I think the bandits in Qingfeng Village will definitely guard that gate more strictly than the main gate."
"If we want to break into Qingfeng Village, we should go through its main gate. We have our own people at the main gate, so it will be easier to get in than through the back gate."
"General, what you said makes sense. Comparing the two gates, the main gate is definitely easier to break through."
"Tomorrow, when our people in the stronghold send out information, it would be best to have them clearly tell us the distribution of personnel in the stronghold."
"Also, we're going to visit tonight, not the main gate or back gate of Qingfeng Village."
"Except for the main gate, Qingfeng Village is surrounded by mountains on the other three sides. Let's go to the side of Qingfeng Village today, find a high place, and take a look at the terrain of Qingfeng Village."
"Let's come back after we're done. Don't alert the enemy. To be absolutely sure, we must find out the distribution of people in the Qingshan Stronghold."
"Also, the eldest prince will send some more people over in the next two days to assist us in encircling and suppressing Qingfeng Village."
After hearing this, several people present were a little dissatisfied.
"General, we have brought a lot of people. I think we can completely encircle and wipe out the bandits in Qingfeng Village."
"Yes, General. The eldest prince seems to be underestimating us."
"General, why don't we stop waiting and explore Qingfeng Village tonight, then send troops to Qingfeng Village tomorrow."
"That's right, General. I believe we can completely defeat the bandits in Qingfeng Village without any help."
Li Huailiang looked at the people who were talking with red faces and felt a headache.
After a while, Li Huailiang patted the table.
"Okay, stop talking and listen to me first."
Seeing that the general was angry, several people shut up.
"I think the same as you do. I also think that with so many soldiers we brought this time, we can definitely wipe out Qingfeng Village."
"But have you ever thought about the fact that there are so many refugees staying outside Shilin Town? What if some bandits escape while we are encircling Qingfeng Village?"
"They're like wolves among sheep when they run to the refugees. Refugees' lives are lives too. We can't just ignore them."
