Chapter 250: Each one is more ruthless than the other!
"Boss."
Song Liu hurriedly stopped and knocked on the door to signal.
Inside the room, Sang Zhixia, who was making date cakes with Xu Yanran and others, turned around when she heard the noise and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Yesterday was the New Year’s Eve of a famine year, and it was also a good day for people in B&Bs to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
Although most people were almost unable to survive this year, many people died of famine.
But since we have finally reached New Year's Eve, those who are still alive always want to celebrate and get rid of the bad luck of the past year.
Luobei Village was really noisy until very late last night.
Many of the people led by Deputy General Wu were good hunters. They stayed in the mountains for a few days and brought down several wild boars. After slaughtering them, they wanted to distribute the meat to the villagers. No one could stop them.
The village chief and others felt it was not appropriate to take other people's things for free, so they searched the house again when they got home and gave some gifts as a token of their appreciation.
It was really awkward to push and shove each other, so Sang Zhixia simply suggested that everyone take their own food to the threshing ground to make dumplings.
In order to add to the festive atmosphere, a few immature pigs were also brought out and slaughtered together.
The whole village, young and old, and the soldiers under Deputy General Wu gathered together in a lively atmosphere, eating dumplings with garlic, and spending a rare happy New Year's Eve, which could barely be considered a rare happy event in the past year.
But when people are happy, they make noise until late at night.
When returning from the threshing ground, Sang Zhixiadu felt as if he saw the rising daylight. He slept until noon and looked listless.
Seeing this, Song Liu felt helpless and paused before saying, "News has come from the Northwest Camp saying that General Chen will visit tomorrow."
Sang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then asked delicately, "General Chen?"
"What is he doing here?"
If nothing goes wrong, the first batch of grain that Xu Yu got will arrive in the next two days.
These are all life-saving food.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest Camp, Chen Nianhe also controls the lives and deaths of countless people in hundreds of villages in the three cities and six towns in the Northwest.
At this time, why did he come to Luobei Village instead of staying in the camp to wait for receiving food?
Sang Zhixia narrowed her eyes suspiciously, with a complicated expression.
The deed has been signed and sealed with fingerprints. Could it be that Chen Nianhe wants to go back on his word and bargain with her again?
That won’t do!
Sang Zhixia pursed her lips cautiously and said solemnly, "General Chen, can you tell me why you're here?"
If he wants to bargain, then try to prevent him from coming.
Song Liu didn't know what Sang Zhixia was thinking, and this time he was silent for a little longer.
It wasn't until Sang Zhixia mistakenly thought he was about to tell her some devastating news that she finally said, "I asked around. I heard that General Chen heard that Deputy General Wu and his men had caught a wild boar in the mountains, so he decided to come here on the spur of the moment."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Song Liu sighed and said subtly, "Although it's a bit unbelievable to say so, but after thinking about it carefully, it's very likely that General Chen just wants to come here to have a snack."
If such a statement were made in the past, no one would dare to believe it.
A great general who was in charge of a region would actually have to work hard one day just to deal with stuttering.
But apart from this, it seems that there is really no more suitable reason.
General Chen had absolutely no reason to come to Luobei Village.
Sang Zhixia thought it was impossible at first, but when the words came to her lips, a long silence followed.
As if by some strange coincidence, Sang Zhixia suddenly asked, "Are there any dumplings left from last night?"
Song Liu shook his head with a complicated expression: "There's not even any dumpling soup left."
The amount prepared is large, but it cannot match the number of people.
There were so many people that not much was put into each bowl. The bones of the pigs were scraped smooth and the bottom of the bowls were scraped shiny. There was really nothing left.
Sang Zhixia was silent for a longer time this time. After a while, she pressed her eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you want to come?"
"Sure."
Song Liu suppressed the twitching of his lips and said, "If the news is correct, General Chen is probably on his way now."
Now that they are here, we can’t just send them back.
Sang Zhixia suppressed her laughter and said, "When the people arrive, go to the farm shed and catch two chickens and two geese, stew them in an iron pot, and then go to the winery and get two jars of good wine in advance."
It's just some meat. Although the livestock and poultry on the farm did not grow as expected due to insufficient feeding, the advantage is that there are large numbers. When General Chen comes, he can eat two a day.
But it can only be eaten in the old river.
Sang Zhixia gritted his teeth secretly and complained: "If we bring thousands or even tens of thousands of people this time, it will be embarrassing. General Chen should just go back and eat himself."
Her place is too small to support so many big Buddhas with mouths to feed.
Sang Zhixia was secretly alert, but what was rare was that Chen Nianhe also restrained himself and did not cause any trouble.
Chen Nianhe went on this trip with only three people, including his legal advisor Wu Lian and another deputy general. After entering the village, the three of them went to Xu's house to meet the old man first.
Before Xu Yu beat the son of the Chen family into a cripple, the relationship between the two families was actually quite good, and the old man was even half a teacher to Chen Nianhe.
No matter how dissatisfied Chen Nianhe was with Xu Yu, he restrained his hostility and sharpness when he met the old man, and his demeanor became gentle, like a young man who was easy to talk to.
The secret was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chen Nianhe glanced at Sang Zhixia, who was standing next to the old man, with a half-smile on his face, and said gloomily, "I originally thought that the old man would no longer teach students, but I didn't expect that he would teach such a ruthless character in this village who can make people lose flesh with just one bite. You have taught this student well."
Xu Yu was knowledgeable and scheming. At the age of twenty, he was as ruthless as a thirty-year-old and as experienced as a forty-year-old. He was like a wolf cub and could kill with one bite.
Sang Zhixia is younger. When she sees people, she smiles without saying a word. She looks gentle, but in fact, she is ruthless and decisive when she takes action.
Even though Chen Nianhe had a deep grudge against Xu Yu, after experiencing the recent mess, he had to admit that the old man had indeed taught two good students.
Each one is more ruthless than the other!
Sang Zhixia touched her nose and smiled without saying anything. She washed and brewed the tea leaves smoothly and slowly, with an indescribable elegance.
The old man simply pushed the brewed teacup toward Chen Nianhe's hand and said, "This is the Junshanmei tea you sent. Would you like to try my child's cooking?"
Chen Nianhe took a big gulp, making the old man laugh out loud: "Good tea tastes like a cow chewing a peony in your mouth."
After so many years, Chen Nianhe is still good at wasting good things.
Chen Nianhe scoffed when no one responded. He took a deep breath to suppress his pent-up anger, cleared his throat, and said, "Old man, I came here today to ask for your advice. How about we talk somewhere quiet?"
What he is going to say next may not be suitable for Sang Zhixia to listen to here.
But the old man just shook his head after hearing this: "No need."
"The Xu family will be handed over to the children. There is nothing that cannot be known to her."
The old man played with the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "I've stopped caring about things a long time ago. The Xu family is now run by Yu'er and Xia Xia. You might even need her approval before you can do anything you want."
Chen Nianhe had sent people to test the waters before, and now he heard the same answer with his own ears, and his expression was slightly different.
"Are you kidding me, old man?"
The old man smiled and turned to look at Sang Zhixia, saying softly, "Girl, tell General Chen if you can make the decision on the Xu family's affairs."
Sang Zhixia put down the teapot in her hand and smiled slightly: "Yes."
