Qiao Xin selected a few of the best kung fu masters and left them behind. He directly instructed them, "Go to the southwest to find my boss, and follow him in the future. If possible, earn yourself a reputation. If you are willing to go, I will help you eliminate your slavery on the day you return victorious."
"Madam, the young master wants us to protect your family. How can we leave the Qiao family to seek fame for ourselves? If we do something wrong, you can just teach us. If we really want to earn fame, wouldn't it be better for us to follow the eldest young master to the Northwest Army?"
Zhang Yun was anxious. He didn't want to leave the Qiao family. He felt so at ease every day in the Qiao family!
Although they fell asleep as soon as they lay down due to exhaustion every day, they no longer had to live on the edge of a knife, nor did they have to worry that if anything happened to their master, they would be buried with him.
After a few months here, he finally felt like a real person. But he didn't expect that the old lady would send them away!
He had already made up his mind to stay in the Qiao family for the rest of his life, so how could he achieve any achievements or establish any career? Just because they used to be the private guards of the Marquis' Mansion, no matter how great the military achievements were, they would never be credited with anything.
In the end, he was just a second-rate military officer, and people from different camps would not really trust him. No matter how you look at it, he is not as happy as he was in the Qiao family!
"So you still listen to your previous master? Then why should I keep you around?"
Zhang Yun quickly bowed to Qiao Xin and explained, "Madam, that's not what I meant. How dare I disobey your words? I will do whatever it takes to protect the eldest and third masters. Forget about making achievements. I am willing to go to the Southwest Army to protect the eldest and third masters. It's just about leaving the army. Please don't mention it again, madam."
Qiao Xin was puzzled, but when Nanny Qin winked at her, she said nothing and let the person go.
"Mammy, are there really people in this world who are willing to be slaves and maids and don't want to be free?" After everyone left, Qiao Xin asked Mammy Qin in confusion.
"Zhang Yun and the others are orphans brought back by the old marquis. They have been trained as the Marquis's guards since they were young, and they have learned the tricks of killing people.
When they left the Marquis' Mansion, they didn't know anything except the ability to kill. If they left the Qiao Family again, they would become tools in the hands of others one day. It would be better for them to stay in the Qiao Family and be normal people. I think the eldest son called them here because he saw that they were not interested in this. It almost completes the relationship between master and servant, and can also protect the old lady's family. "
Qiao Xin cursed in her heart, what a damn world this is, human life is as worthless as grass, not even as valuable as an ant!
Turning around, he said to Nanny Qin, "Look at how hardworking they have been these days. They are all good kids. As long as they don't do anything to let the Qiao family down, they can marry and have children like normal people and continue the family line. You can come to me to get rid of your slavery when the time comes."
Nanny Qin asked in confusion, "Old Madam, you don't seem to like slavery that much?"
"Well, everyone is a treasure of their parents. It's just that the world is difficult and they can't survive, so they have to become slaves. It's not their fault. I'm not the head of an aristocratic family, so I don't have so many prejudices deep in my bones.
I am just an ordinary old lady from the bottom of society. How can I turn my life around and point my weapon at people who used to struggle for survival like me?"
Nanny Qin's nose was sore, and she said with some anger: "Aren't you afraid that we servants will get in trouble one day?"
Qiao Xin laughed: "In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing but children's play. Besides, is this guy on my shoulder just a decoration? Besides, don't you, Nanny, help keep an eye on him? The troublemaker is not on the same side as us, kick him out as soon as possible and don't hinder me from making money."
Nanny Qin smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, you are right!"
Zhang Yun, who was waiting outside the door, also breathed a sigh of relief. From the Marquis' Mansion to the Qiao Family, perhaps in the eyes of some people, they were abandoned by the master's family.
But only those who are in it can truly understand that the eldest master has indeed chosen a good place for them to settle down.
The next morning, Qiao Xin packed a few large boxes and said to Zhang Yun and his group, "Let's not talk about leaving the country for now, but you still have to go to the southwest. Someone from the Fan family is going to the southwest with the convoy transporting food and grass today. The second brother will give them a heads-up in advance. When the time comes, you can spend a little more money and follow them. Then stay there to take care of the eldest and third brothers for me."
Qiao Xin pointed to another box and said, "This contains some things prepared for Heng Wen. You can also send two people to the northwest."
These boxes contain nothing but food.
A few days ago, Qiao Yunxin, Qiao Yunting and Heng Wen all sent letters to Qiao Xin as if they had made an appointment.
In addition to the common greetings, there are some overt and covert complaints between the lines, like a son acting like a spoiled child to his old mother.
It is said that the food in the military camp is often too late to have the next meal, and there is sand that hurts the teeth and dry and hard coarse grains in every meal.
That said, even if you are a general, you have to live and eat with the soldiers, and it is not uncommon for you not to see any meat for a month or two. They can even make a bird out of their mouths. They dream about the food that Qiao Xin cooks! Qiao Xin felt bad when she saw this.
Not only could one die at any time in the war, but one couldn't even get enough food to eat. No wonder everyone resisted military service. Qiao Xin thought about it for a long time at home, and finally decided to make some more food that was easy to preserve and send it over.
During those days, the hunters in Lao Hu Town formed a team to hunt down a group of wild boars. They originally planned to bring all of them to the town to sell. However, Qiao Xin kept all the meat, which was 30% fat and 70% lean, and planned to make jerky.
During those days, men, women, young and old from the Qiao family all worked hard, and the sound of "knock knock knock" could be heard in the yard from morning to night.
A dozen men lined up in a row. They threw their arms wide open, and two of them held kitchen knives on the chopping board, slicing them up and down, leaving afterimages. They chopped several large pots of pork into fresh meat filling.
Qiao Xin marinated the minced meat with freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, salt, soy sauce and some other seasonings.
The next morning, when it was still light, the Qiao family got up and watched Qiao Xin frying meat patties on a simple iron plate.
I saw that the one-centimeter-thick long iron plate was smeared with fat in advance. It made a "sizzling" sound. When thick oil was fried out, Qiao Xin took the fat away and spread the meat patties that had been rolled out on the iron plate. He fried them on both sides and sprinkled white sesame and sugar water on them while frying.
After a short while, a salty and sweet taste instantly emerged!
Ah, I want to eat it so much!
