Chapter 158 Madam, Give Me a Bite of Food
There was a violent wind and thunder, a sign of an approaching rainstorm.
"It's so cold and rainy, it's freezing!" Ye Tang exclaimed, carrying the dung bucket down the mountain: "Call it home!"
People on the mountain ran down the mountain.
Before we reached the foot of the mountain, the thunder stopped, the strong wind gradually died down, and the warm winter sun came out.
Ye Tang: "...are you teasing me?"
Ye Peng called out to everyone: "It's not raining anymore, go back and continue working."
Fang Jing and his group all picked up the dung buckets. Wei Huan cursed inwardly, "This lousy weather is really annoying."
The stench of manure filled the air: "It stinks, it stinks so bad." Wei Huan pulled Fang Jing and asked: "How long are we going to work here?"
Fang Jing frowned: "You ask me, who should I ask? I have never carried manure in my life. Okay, stop talking nonsense. The Duke has ordered us to obey the orders of the Prince, so let's do it."
One guard complained: "Your Highness is such a fool. There is nothing good to farm on this land. We have servants working on it, but you still torture us like this."
They kept muttering to themselves, but their hands did not stop moving, and they did not stop doing the work they were supposed to do.
Ye Peng looked back at Fang Jing and his group, and raised his eyebrows to Ye Tang proudly: "How do you use the free labor?"
Ye Tang pursed his lips and smiled: "It feels great to use."
Ye Pingan said disdainfully: "They are not as good at farm work as I am. They have grown so tall for nothing."
Ye Tang said: "They are just not familiar with it yet. Give them a little more time and they will surpass you."
She looked at Ye Peng: "But, we are torturing them like this, they won't have any complaints in their hearts, right?"
Ye Peng snorted: "It has nothing to do with me. They said so themselves. They obeyed me in everything. I didn't force them."
After carrying manure three times, Ye Tang, Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an put down their shoulder poles and manure buckets and went down the mountain.
Ye Peng said to Fang Jing and his group, "Do the rest of the work well, and come to my house for dinner in the evening."
Wei Huan looked at the backs of the three of them leaving: "I thought the prince and his family would accompany us to finish the work!"
As the steward of Ziyan Mountain, Lu Anbang was responsible for teaching Fang Jing and his group how to work. When he arrived, he happened to hear Wei Huan's words and immediately said with a smile: "Masters will not always work with you! Masters are only carrying manure to complete their daily training."
The masters were very regular in doing any farm work. Their purpose was not only to work, but also to improve their physical strength through work, and to guide their subordinates to plant the land well. Of course, the person who guided them was always the wife of the boss. If the fruit trees on the mountain were not planted well, or if there were any mistakes in the planting methods of crops, she would point them out one by one and let the servants correct them.
In this way, the servants' farming abilities can be improved so quickly.
Fang Jing and others were confused. Can carrying manure be used as daily training?
Actually, the training method of carrying manure is not much different from carrying water, the only difference is that one is refreshing and clean, while the other is smelly.
After Ye Tang and the other two came down the mountain, they separated. Ye Ping'an and Ye Peng went to the county town and would not come back tonight. Ye Tang went into another mountain and did not come out of the mountain to go home until it was almost dark.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Fang Jing and his group sitting in the yard in a mess. They all looked tired, sleepy and hungry.
When Lu Taohua saw her coming back, she hurried over and whispered something to her.
Ye Tang looked strange when he heard this and went to the bedroom immediately. As soon as he entered, he saw a man as black as the bottom of a pot lying on his bed.
"You took poison again?" Ye Tang was shocked.
Jamel Xiao reached out to her with tears in his eyes: "It's Master, he is jealous of my beauty..."
Ye Tang walked to the bedside and glanced at him up and down: "Tsk tsk, this time it's even darker than last time, why does Master like to tinker with this kind of black medicine?"
Jamel Xiao: "He's not much better."
"What did you do to Master?"
"Poison paralyzed!"
Ye Tang took a deep breath: "You two are really a pair of good master and apprentice who love and hate each other. Tell me honestly, will you die in darkness?"
Jamel Xiao: "...Why die? The effect of the medicine will wear off tomorrow."
"Where's the master?"
"He was able to stand up in the early morning, but now he can't eat, drink, defecate or urinate. He can only lie in bed. Hehehe, he is going to wet the bed. He is destined to be laughed at by me for the rest of his life."
Since he couldn't die, Ye Tang didn't bother to care.
This is not the first time that the master and disciple have fought against each other with poison. Every time, neither of them will die, but they will just be tortured by the poison for a few days.
In the evening, the kitchen made spicy chicken hotpot. Hotpot is still very delicious in early spring.
Ye Tang looked at the stock in the space and said, "There are not many peppers left. We have to eat them sparingly, otherwise we won't be able to survive until new peppers grow."
Although Ye Tang didn't like the people from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion very much, Fang Jing and his people worked for her family for free. Although they had complaints, no one was lazy. Ye Tang was not a stingy person, so she let Fang Jing and his group eat spicy chicken together.
Let them taste the pepper.
The chili peppers in Baiwei Fresh Food have been sold out, and Ye Tang wants to keep the rest for himself. Fang Jing and his friends have just arrived in Wutong County, so they can't buy chili peppers. Except for Wei Huan and Zhou Yi, the others have never seen chili peppers.
Ye Tang asked someone to prepare two pots of spicy chicken and some simple vegetables for them, including a lot of wild vegetables.
In the early spring, wild vegetables also begin to grow.
Fang Jing and his thirty-two companions sat around two tables, looking at the red spicy chicken hotpot with curiosity on their faces.
"What is this?" Fang Jing asked.
"Chicken." said a guard.
"Nonsense, I recognize chicken. What I'm asking about is the fried chicken. It's red and has a pungent smell. Is it edible?" Fang Jing swallowed.
Wei Huan said with a smile: "This is the chili I told you about. Last time when I came here with the Duke, Zhou Yi and I had the honor of trying it. It tasted very good."
Fang Jing was surprised: "So this is what peppers look like?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "It doesn't look like this, it's just made like this. Try it, it smells delicious!"
As he spoke, he immediately picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken from the bowl, and ate it with the rice: "The soft and sticky chicken, paired with this fragrant and spicy chili, is so fragrant!"
Zhou Yi started eating without hesitation, and did not forget to greet the others: "Don't just stand there, eat quickly, you can't get such good food in the capital."
Seeing how happily they were eating, Fang Jing also hurriedly picked up his chopsticks to taste the food.
When he took a bite of the spicy chicken, the spicy flavor filled his mouth and almost choked him.
"It's spicy, so spicy!" Wine is also spicy, but the spiciness of chili peppers and wine is not the same.
Fang Jing and others took bite after bite. At first, they were not used to the taste of the chili peppers, but after a few more bites, they found that it became more and more delicious. The taste of the chili peppers was very suitable for their taste.
"I want another bowl of rice."
"I also want!"
They were busy sweating while doing farm work, and now they were sweating again after eating hot pot.
“It’s so satisfying and enjoyable!”
Fang Jing's mouth turned red from the spiciness, and his tears and nose were running, but he still didn't put down his chopsticks and bowl. After wiping his face with his sleeve, he continued to eat.
Everyone didn't stop eating until all the spicy chicken in the pot was eaten and there was no more rice.
Ye Tang came out and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Fang Jing and the others nodded vigorously: "It's delicious, thank you Miss."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "Work hard in the future, and there will be more delicious food."
Even if the coolies don't want to be paid, they must be well fed. Oh, and by the way, they must also be provided with accommodation.
Ye Tang had two rooms cleared out and used wooden planks and mats to make a large bunk bed.
In the bedroom, Xiao Jingxuan lay on the bed with a look of despair. He wanted to get out of bed to eat, but when he was about to get out of bed, he found that his lower body could not move. Ye Tang came to feel his pulse and said that he would not die, but he had to avoid certain foods and could only drink porridge.
He drank porridge while people outside ate spicy chicken hotpot. The smell of the hotpot even crept into his room, teasing his nose. He could smell it but couldn't eat it, and it made him very greedy.
"Madam, give me something to eat!"
