"Damn it, we are also the Xing family army, why don't we have it!"
"Who can I blame? I can only blame myself for not passing the selection to join the Flying Tiger Battalion. Otherwise, we would have had the honor of tasting this overwhelming pork."
Wang Da and others from the Flying Tiger Battalion turned into butchers and took care of all the pigs to be slaughtered today. Lin Rui was willing to spend money and bought fat and strong pigs, the fat from which could be used to make a pot of lard.
The people in the Huotou Camp took a few big gulps, some boiling lard and some cooking pork. Soon the aroma of meat filled the entire Huotou Camp and then drifted outward, so that the Feihu Camp and the nearby Xing family military camp were surrounded by the strong aroma of meat.
“It smells so good!”
"It seems that we have meat to eat in our camp today."
"Are these the pigs that were just delivered today?"
"That must be it. I heard that the merchant sent it here, saying that he was expressing his gratitude to the Xing family army for saving their lives."
"Oh! It would be great if there were more merchants like this."
The soldiers in the barracks were also overwhelmed by the aroma of meat. They could not even walk when passing by the Huotou Camp. This made the sergeants and corporals who were standing by and watching the training laugh and scold, saying that whoever failed to complete the training today would not be able to eat meat.
This is really heartbreaking, whatever you fear will come true!
It has been a long time since the Flying Tiger Battalion and even the entire Xing Family Army camp had tasted oily food. The feeling of the white meat bursting with juice when you bite it, oh my, just thinking about it makes your mouth water.
When it was time for dinner, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion rushed towards the Fire Head Battalion with red eyes, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
At this time, Wang Da and others also used spatulas to scoop portions of the meat that had just been taken out of the pot into the soldiers' bowls. Four pigs were definitely not enough to feed more than three thousand people, so Wang Da and others would cut the pork into small pieces when cooking, and put them into the pot together with cheap foods such as bean sprouts, tofu, and dried tofu to cook. After cooking for a long time, the oil and aroma of the pork would naturally permeate these soy products, and all of them would emit a strong meaty aroma.
The soldiers would ask for an extra spoonful of soup, pour it on the tofu cakes and bean dregs rice, and eat it with relish. It was so refreshing!
Lin Rui returned home and briefly explained the situation to his family.
Zhao Qing had been restless for the past two days. Ever since learning of the Fang family's brutal acquisition terms, not only him, but the entire Lin clan hadn't been able to sleep. Worry! Worry all night long! Lin Pingmao would sit at the doorway of Huangmoguan, his hands and feet frozen, sighing late at night. He had finally found a promising future for the Lin family, only to have it snatched away by the powerful Fang family. How could anyone accept this?
When Lin Rui and his family explained the situation, Lin Changxi and Zhao Qing's expressions immediately changed. They eagerly asked for confirmation, "Chief, did I hear correctly? Are you saying that you've established connections with the Major General, and that our Lin family can now open a workshop and do business openly?"
Lin Rui smiled faintly and nodded: "Yes, so Dad and brother-in-law, you can tell the other clan members tomorrow and start work as normal. If anyone from the Zhang, Li, or Fang family comes to threaten you again, fight back without mercy."
Lin Changxi also seemed to have gained a backbone: "Yes, yes, what are you afraid of? To put it bluntly, the Fang family is just the son-in-law of the Xing family. They have become prosperous by relying on nepotism, but no matter what, they can't compare with the highly regarded Major General. Rui'er has joined the Major General's army. In the future, our Lin family will be able to walk all over Huangmo Pass."
Lin Rui quickly said, "Dad, be low-key. I've just won the favor of the Major General, so you and your brother-in-law must help me control the clan members. Otherwise, if we incur the Major General's dislike, the Fang family will tear us apart!"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at how you bully others by taking advantage of your power!" Feng Zhenniang also laughed and scolded.
Elder Sister Lin and Second Sister Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Lin family, from top to bottom, are united as one, and they all prosper and suffer together.
Lin Rui never thought that in modern times, he would fail the civil service exam, but in ancient times, he would be able to take up the position immediately after just one test.
No matter what, he now has a regular job and will start work tomorrow.
The next day, the gloomy-faced Lin family members saw the beaming Lin Changxi and couldn't help but say weakly, "Changxi, it's already this late, and you can still smile."
Lin Chang happily approached and said, "Don't worry, Rui'er has already taken care of this matter. Isn't it that the Fang family relies on Miss Xing's husband, Fang Pingshan? Our Lin family relies on the highly regarded Young General Xing!"
These words instantly dispelled the gloomy aura of Chen Zhi, Chen Mei, Lin Zijun, Lin Changshou and others: "What did you say? We, we..."
As if he couldn't bear to think about it, Zhao Qingze, the son-in-law who followed behind Lin Changxi, smiled and said, "We don't have to be afraid. The clan leader has taken the Lin family to seek refuge with the young general. From now on, we won't be harassed by the Fang family. If these people dare to speak so arrogantly again, we will fight them back!"
Lin Changtai, who arrived late, clapped his hands happily: "Good, good, good!" He said four good words in succession, which was very satisfying.
So when the meeting time agreed upon with Fang Chengrong arrived, Lin Changtai was very proud and sat in the teahouse waiting for someone to arrive.
Seeing him like this, the teahouse owner offered him tea and snacks and asked curiously, "Brother Lin, have you found a solution? You look confident and don't seem to be troubled by this."
Lin Changtai kept it a secret: "You'll find out in a moment."
The teahouse owner wanted to say something when he saw Fang Chengrong enter the teahouse. He hurried over to greet him: "Boss Fang is here. Please come in. Boss Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."
Fang Chengrong felt comfortable after hearing this. It was destined that Lin Changtai would wait for him. What was his identity? What was his identity too?
Fang Chengrong, who was sitting at the table, glanced at Lin Changtai. Seeing his smiling face, he thought he was begging for mercy and showing goodwill to him. His eyelids slightly raised: "Boss Lin, have you figured it out?"
Lin Changtai smiled and filled Fang Chengrong's cup with tea. He nodded and said, "Yes, I've made up my mind. We won't sell our Lin's Workshop!"
"That's right... huh?" Fang Chengrong thought he had misheard and stared at Lin Changtai with wide eyes: "What did you say? Lin's Workshop is not for sale?"
Lin Changtai nodded happily and answered happily: "Yes, I won't sell it!"
Fang Chengrong immediately stood up and looked at him with a gloomy face: "Lin Changtai, are you crazy? Don't you know who our Fang family is?"
"You dare to go against our Fang family? You don't want to live in Huangmoguan anymore!"
Lin Changtai also snorted coldly and stood up. He was much taller than Fang Chengrong, and looking down at him seemed a bit condescending. "Oh my, you're really frightened by what you said!"
