Chapter 310 Selecting Candidates
Shen Qing was not very satisfied, but compared to when he wanted to abandon his daughter and drive his wife away at the beginning, the eldest brother's performance was barely acceptable.
It was okay, but not outstanding. She looked at the eldest and said, "The two children need someone to look after them, and the livestock and poultry need someone to feed them, otherwise it would be a problem if they ran away. Someone has to stay at home to look after them, so you will be responsible for looking after the house."
It is better to leave professional matters to excellent people.
Anyway, the eldest child takes care of the children more often, so the two children no longer reject him as their father. He is a suitable candidate to take care of the children and look after the house.
Jiang Xiangdong: ...Mother, are you worried about him? Are you afraid that your eldest son will get hurt, so you keep him at home?
He said with emotion: "Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not afraid of them and I can beat them!"
Shen Qing: "...Be obedient."
"Okay!" Jiang Xiangdong responded happily.
Huo Bing, who was waiting on the side, continued, "Mom, I plan to lead a small team out of the mountains tomorrow and guard the road. When Liu Sheng and his group arrive, we will raid their territory and cut off their supply and forage routes."
Liu Sheng could be here at any time, so the earlier you go and prepare, the smaller the chance of running into him.
The later you go out of the mountain, the easier it is to encounter one. If you encounter one head-on, the danger will greatly increase!
Jiang Xiangdong wanted to tell his wife not to worry about it. His mother didn't even want him to go out to fight the enemy, so how could she agree to let Ah Bing go out?
Especially running so far!
My mother would definitely ask her how to buy at the bottom and where to buy at the bottom.
How could Ah Bing answer this?
He looked at his wife worriedly and called out, "A Bing--"
The next moment, Shen Qing's words of agreement and instructions were clearly heard: "Okay, pick more people to take with you, and bring enough clothes, quilts, dry food, etc. It would be best to find a farmer's house on the roadside and give him some money to stay with you, so that you can keep warm and have a warm meal at the same time;
Then they would be divided into groups and guard the roadside, and replaced at intervals so as not to miss out.
Also, don't rush back after you succeed. You can still stay at a farmer's house on the roadside and wait until they return before coming back.
You have to remember that our village has a unique defensive advantage. As long as we don't go out, what can they do to us?
In this weather, they won’t last more than three days! When they return, they’ll have no money or food. How will they prepare for the next time?
At least there won't be a next time in the near future, so you don't need to confront them head-on!"
Huo Bing nodded as she listened, wanting to say that she thought the same as her mother, but she felt that this would be stealing her credit, so she changed her words and said, "My mother is the most thoughtful!"
After hearing this, Jiang Xiangdong finally understood why his mother did not agree with his previous answer.
It turns out that my mother’s approach is to keep guard!
Just like defending the city as the storyteller said, let the enemy retreat on their own, but mother is even more ruthless. She actually wants to take advantage of Liu Sheng and the people behind him, so that they can't launch a second wave in a short time.
But when did my mother start to trust Ah Bing so much?
In the past, the person my mother disliked the most was Ah Bing. Well, it must be because of me...
Shen Qing didn't have time to care about what the boss was thinking. He was busy finalizing the personnel and vehicles with Huo Bing.
The ones we own are calm and steady towards the west and north, and they are easy to use and can be carried;
The Lei family is familiar with the terrain and has a local accent, so they must be brought along;
Xie Qingshan, Feng Meng, Feng Xing, and Feng Tao are all good at boxing and kicking, so they are indispensable;
In addition, Dabo, Zhou Dashan, Qin Dazhu...
Huo Bing interrupted: "Mother Liu Sheng doesn't know to bring hundreds of people. If you take too many men from the village, it will be unsafe for you."
The team that goes out does not rely on head-on force, so there is no need for too much.
Shen Qing disagreed: "Have you forgotten about the group of people who came today? Although they are weak, it is also because they have not eaten enough. After eating a few full meals, even if they can't be particularly strong, they can still pick up stones and throw them at people."
Yes, she didn't think of shooting arrows. After all, not all the people who came here were bad people. There were also many people who had no choice but to do so. At least their crimes were not punishable by death.
She throws a stone to prevent people from getting close, and if someone is not afraid and rushes forward, she uses a crossbow. You can't blame her for being cruel, right?
After all, she had already shown some mercy. They couldn't just surrender their lives when someone else demanded them, could they? She could only let half of them die before they even reached the wall!
It was finally decided to form a team of twelve people, equipped with six double-donkey carts.
Jiang Xiangdong and his brothers went door to door to notify everyone before dinner, and those who couldn't go could let them know in advance so that someone else could come instead.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Shui were preparing dry food in the kitchen.
First, the pork fat bought by Shen Qingcai was refined into lard. Half of the lard residue and lard from the first pot were packed and taken away by Huo Bing, and the other half were sent to the workshop kitchen.
Next is to knead the dough to make steamed buns with old-fashioned dough and big dumplings with fresh meat.
These two things can be eaten hot and are delicious. If you can't heat them up, steamed buns will also work.
Unlike the fluffy and soft steamed buns made with yeast, the steamed buns made with old dough are solid! One steamed bun with a bowl of water can fill your stomach, which is simple and quick.
Needless to say, the big steamed buns with fresh meat are delicious.
The two worked until midnight, with the stove fire burning brightly, and made hundreds of buns and steamed buns. The next morning, they wrapped them in oil paper and put them all into the carriage for Huo Bing to take away.
The others were busy with their own affairs, so naturally they had to bring their own food with them.
After watching the convoy leave, everyone withdrew their worried gazes and started to get busy.
The workshop is closed. It is winter and there is no farm work to do or any extra work, so we can fully prepare for Liu Sheng's attack!
The women followed Shen Qing's instructions and began to pick up stones, large and small.
The men followed Mr. Jiang's instructions and went to cut straw and chop firewood, preparing to build a big fire to keep warm.
The girl was adjusting her crossbow and practicing her aim;
The boys were wiping their broadswords and sharpening their kitchen knives and hatchets;
The elders were busy in the kitchen preparing various food reserves...
The people in the workshop were awakened by the aroma of food.
The dreams are filled with delicious food, making them reluctant to wake up. When they finally wake up, they find that the fragrance is not in the dream, but real!
And it came from the kitchen.
After I finished cleaning up and entered the kitchen, I saw five stove holes emitting orange flames, and five large iron pots bubbling with hot steam...
Xu Lin swallowed and asked uncertainly, "Aunt Ping, is there food in the morning?"
The others looked at Pinggu, waiting for her answer.
I had a delicious dinner last night, but why am I hungry again when I woke up?
But many wealthy families only have two meals a day. They definitely don’t have three meals a day.
Then he thought it was impossible, absolutely impossible. There were more than a hundred of them, and they didn't need to work. It would be such a waste to eat three meals a day, and it would also be a waste of food!
Ping Gu opened the lid of a nearby jar, making sure everyone in the kitchen could see what was inside, and then she said with a smile, "Yes, look what delicious food the master has sent us!
Not only are there vegetables, but there are also lard scraps and lard~"
The white lard in the coarse earthenware jar looked like jade, with a beautiful color.
