Chapter 1991 Please Forgive Me

Qin Sanlang frowned and asked: "Brother Meng, why did you say this? The deed has been signed, how can the sale not be completed?"

Meng Hongchi laughed and did not answer Qin Sanlang. He only said to him: "You young guys just haven't experienced anything. You don't know what it means to crush someone to death at the first level of an official."

Then he patted Qin Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "If the porcelain business fails, you should be more open-minded. Anyway, your family can still bake bricks and sell them."

Qin Sanlang: "..."

Then why did you make such a fuss just now that you want me to do porcelain business with General Jiang? Are you free?

Meng Hong was sincere in wanting Qin Sanlang to start a porcelain business with General Jiang. After all, he really wanted the soldiers' families to live a good life, and Uncle Jiang also had many disabled soldiers who needed to be accommodated.

Porcelain Kiln Fang is a good place.

But if Uncle Jiang goes to see Xu You and Xu You doesn't agree, or directly asks for the deal, then he can also get another benefit.

The advantage of this is... it makes Uncle Jiang understand that Xu You is not sincere to him, but just wants to take advantage of him, use him, and treat him as a slave!

"Uncle Jiang always said that I studied until I was in a dog's belly, but I know what it means to destroy a thousand-mile embankment in an ant nest!"

As long as Uncle Jiang sees again and again that Xu You is just using him and has no true feelings for him, he will wake up one day.

Then he asked Qin Sanlang: "You and your family escaped from the famine, but did anyone save you or your family on the way? If they saved your family, would you work for them as cows and horses for the rest of your life?"

He was afraid that Qin Sanlang would ask random questions, so he specially added: "Don't ask random questions, just give the answer."

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "It depends on what it is. If it is something evil, even if the other party saves my whole family, I will not help. I may even turn him to the government."

Meng Hong was very satisfied with the answer: "You are the only normal person."

Qin Sanlang understood. It seemed that the abnormal one was General Jiang.

Meng Hong asked again: "Have the pigs in your guardhouse really eaten ghost potatoes?"

Qin Sanlang nodded: "I have eaten."

People have eaten it too.

"do you died?"

"Not dead, but alive. By the end of this year, we will be able to breed them and give birth to piglets."

"It seems that this ghost potato is really a good thing." Meng Hong said again: "Do you have food made from ghost potato in your tent? I want to eat it, but I'm not afraid. I was so hungry when I was a child that I even ate earthworms. .”

Well, Qin Sanlang is feeling a little nauseous. He wants to wait until the next time he returns to the guardhouse to get some deworming medicine for Meng Hong. As Xiaoyu said, there are many parasites like earthworms, snails, etc., which are like poisonous insects and can infect people. Small bugs that live inside the body and can live for many years.

Meng Hong added: "Next time when you go back, remember to bring me some food made from ghost potatoes. You won't be responsible if I die."

Qin Sanlang: "..."

You are really a desperado, and you are a bit talkative, always talking.

Meng Hong spoke again and asked him: "I have some wounded soldiers here who have broken arms and legs and can no longer fight on the battlefield. After the porcelain kiln is opened, can we send them to the porcelain kiln to work?"

Then he said: "I'm also the boss. If I can get a few people in, that's definitely possible. Don't even think about refusing!"

"..." Qin Sanlang was a little convinced by Meng Hong, who was a bit of his own way, but he agreed: "Of course it is possible, but your hands and feet must be clean, your character must be good, you must abide by the rules of the porcelain kiln, and you have never been a strong girl before. , Regarding my daughter-in-law, if you have ever made such a mistake, please don’t send it to me, otherwise I might cut it off.”

Meng Hong took a sip and said: "You kid, you look down on me, don't you? I am a man who has read a book, and my previous wife was an official lady. How could someone under me do such a thing? I am not a soldier. thief."

Qin Sanlang: "There is no best. In short, people with good character should be sent here, and there is no need to send evil people."

Meng Hong waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, you are so long-winded."

Qin Sanlang: "..."

It's obviously you who's been talking, but you still think I'm verbose?

"Baihu, it's time for dinner. I called you. It's two portions, for you and Qin Qianhu." Meng Hong's soldier came in with a basket, which contained three bowls of multigrain porridge, three multigrain cakes, Three raw sweet potatoes and a pickle.

Qin Sanlang was from a Qianhu household, and his share was larger than that of Meng Hong. For dinner, he could get two bowls of porridge and rice, two grain cakes, and two sweet potatoes. The lumpy pickles were also his.

The soldier pointed at the basket and winked at Meng Hong with a smile on his face: "Baihu, we have made a profit, we can share Qin Qianhu's dinner, and we can also eat pickles."

These pickles require salt. Salt is expensive, and not everyone can eat pickles. You have to be an official.

Meng Hong was very happy and said to the soldier: "Bring the food quickly and throw three sweet potatoes into the fire to roast them. The roasted sweet potatoes are delicious."

"Yes." Xiao Bing hurriedly brought the food and placed it on the table next to the kang.

There was something to eat, and Meng Hong's injury no longer hurt. He sat up numbly, took a knife and divided the pickled vegetables into three parts. He took a piece and ate it in one bite. His face was wrinkled by the salt, but He shouted happily: "It tastes good!"

Seeing Qin Sanlang looking at him, he greeted him: "Brother Qin, don't be stunned, eat quickly, this is your pickle."

Then he said: "Don't think that I'm taking advantage of you. I'm being punished now, so I can't turn on the small stove. When Uncle Jiang stops being angry, I'll get you a piece of meat to make up for it."

Qin Sanlang was not stingy, he was just afraid that Meng Hong would catch him, so just swallowing a piece of pickled vegetables made his throat taste salty just thinking about it.

Xiaobing had already buried the sweet potatoes, walked over, took another pickle, and ate it: "Well, it's delicious. It's salty enough. It finally tastes good in your mouth."

Salt is expensive, so the soldiers are not given salt every time they eat. Instead, salt is distributed every three days so that the soldiers will not develop neck diseases.

The soldier called Qin Sanlang again: "Qin Qianhu, please eat quickly. If you don't eat, the food will be cold."

Qin Sanlang nodded, untied a cloth bag at his waist, took out a pack of roasted dried beans, and put it on the table. As soon as he opened the burlap wrapped in dried beans, a burst of aroma wafted out.

Meng Hong was shocked, stared at the dried beans and asked, "Brother Qin, what is this? It's too fragrant."

After saying this, Qin Sanlang grabbed a piece to eat without waiting for him to speak.

"Hmm, fragrant, delicious and rich in flavor, it goes well with porridge." Meng Hong picked up the porridge bowl and ate it with roasted dried beans.

Qin Sanlang: "This is roasted dried tofu. It is made with tofu and seasonings. It is a business of my father-in-law's family."

Meng Hong: "It turns out it belongs to your father-in-law's family. I've heard for a long time that you married a rich wife who raised soldiers and raised a family. It turns out it's true."

He also comforted Qin Sanlang: "Don't pay attention to those who say slanderous things. What's wrong with eating soft food? They can't get it even if they want it. Just don't change your wife when you get rich in the future."

What he said was very pleasing to Qin Sanlang.

Qin Sanlang nodded: "Brother Meng, don't worry, I never care about what outsiders say, as long as I and my wife live a good life."
