Chapter 74 The Village

The result of invading the Zhao family's mansion was that it was a lot of gains.

However, except for more than a hundred people who rushed out blindly and were shot and killed and knocked over in front of the door, as well as hundreds of family members, slaves and servants who stayed in the mansion to hide everywhere, there was no other thing IQT got.

Because it is somewhat surprising that the defeated Tutu army of the village leader Zhao Ziri and his subordinates have not actually returned to Zhaojia Village. This is also the reason for the defensive power and resistance here, so weak and empty. They did not receive timely news of the defeat in front of them, and they were caught off guard by temporarily mobilizing the young and strong people in the village to fill the vacant wall to intimidate the power of outside invasions.

In other words, in terms of their sense of crisis, they still remained in large-scale armed fighting in the village before, and they were not mentally prepared for the rebels who came to attack, so they could only gather at the front gate and the mansion to resist for a little.

Compared with the main residential areas in the village below, which were already messed up by friendly forces, the Zhao family mansion located at the highest point and its nearby architectural complex is the most valuable and rewarding place in this attack.

Hidden under the unstunningly beautiful gray tiles, the five rice warehouses of all sizes are full of sharp grains, as well as salt and copper coins for carrying loads, which overflow and scatter all over the ground with a touch of light. In comparison, the spoils obtained outside Changle County can only be considered small.

The whole piece of bacon hung under the beam and the dried pigs and sheep used as fans, the whole jar was filled with white oil, one large plate of smoked intestines with thick cables, one large cylinder of soybean oil and rapeseed oil... Many rice in the lower layer of cellars rotted and blackened as mud because of the long time, or the insects were left with only a layer of light empty shells;

But I don’t know what exploitation and scraping methods are used to extract layers of these village people and rural people who seem to be mostly living in rags and eat braised vegetables.

In addition to the most common products such as local cloth, husk and other products that are filled with ashes in the warehouse and are piled up in mountain villages, there are also thick silk, silk, silk, cotton and silk piled up with several rooms, as well as many items that are obviously not produced or easily found in Zhaojiazhai, or even have distinct foreign styles or tribute styles;

This shows that the Zhaojia Village owner had other shameful side businesses and sources of income. This reminded him of the robbery villages and their "simple folk customs" that continued in later generations until the crackdown after the reform and opening up.

Zhou Huaian finally knew why the early Red Army liked to fight against local tyrants and share wealth, or how these primitive exploiting classes could use all means to accumulate such huge wealth.

Especially on the other side that corresponds to the Zhao family mansion, those that are not much smaller than the county prison, are located in the grounds of the mansion, which are full of corruption and stench, forbidden rooms, crypts and puddles, as well as numerous torture instruments and unknown objects, as well as dozens of human bodies that are like walking corpses or are surviving, waiting to slowly decay or die little by little;

When you compare all the things, you can easily sigh like "No snowflake is innocent when the avalanche is an avalanche". Although you cannot catch and solve the real master of Zhaojiazhai, after these initial gains, Zhou Huaian can still take advantage of the situation on the spot to praise and reward this team that was formed in the first formation.

For example, at night, the rebels opened their stomachs and ate the local specialty "steamed rice" full of oil and water. They were the method of stir-frying chopped steamed rice on the rice and steaming them together, and combined with the soup with heavy oil and salt. The leaders each had a pot of Sangtuo wine and a big-wife mutton fried bait, and a portion of pickled dried oranges and plums.

Zhou Huaian's staple food is a large plate of digo cakes, mainly a sweet pasta mixed with goat milk and chicken and mixed with chopped candied fruit. The taste is pretty good, and the chicken cakes that are already close to later generations have dried.

There was originally another special red leaf cake to choose from, which was steamed with fried oil and noodles. Because the taste was too strange, Zhou Huaian just tasted it briefly and pushed it to others by Xie Bumin's name.

Although Zhou Huaian did not drink alcohol, he still found Sanleju, dried plum tea and apricot cheese drink among more than a dozen drinks hidden in the Zhao family's house;

The dishes are made directly from the steamed mullet eggs made by the Zhao family chef, stewed oxtails, roasted tenderloin, cheese, goose neck, wine sauce, clams and tofu, dried moss minced meat, etc. Although there are also stewed meat and raw cut fish to provide, they are rejected for gastrointestinal adaptability and hygiene.

These are almost all dishes that Zhao Ziri, the village leader, enjoys exclusively every day as a local tyrant. Although it was relatively scarce and monotonous in this era, in terms of processing and processing, it inevitably became more complicated and complicated, reflecting a sense of superiority that was superior.

For example, in the recipe of Zhaozhaizhu, there are at least five cooking methods for ducks alone, while geese and chickens have their own ways to eat them in seven or eight different parts; and a dish of mutton can also be used in different ways, creating more than a dozen names and colors;

This shows that his daily extravagance is so great that he is just a local tyrant in the countryside of Lingnan. It is hard to imagine the days of those officials living in cities, or the more prominent families, or the lives of the nobles and nobles.

Comparing what you see and hear in daily life, the wild vegetables eaten by ordinary people, and even the bark, grass roots, Guanyin soil used to satisfy your hunger, it is not difficult to understand why there have always been people in all dynasties who have been willing to get up and fight for their own efforts.

It is no wonder that under such a huge contrast, the rebel generals in history quickly became corrupt and degenerate in life and pomp.

Therefore, under the influence of modern people's vision and self-control, he only indulged and enjoyed for a short time, and felt that his energy reserves increased slightly; he called the leaders of the apprentice team, the direct team and the guard team to enjoy and divide these carefully prepared dishes together.

However, due to some deep-rooted idea of ​​subordinates and ranks, Xiaoqi and Liao Yuan and others were reluctant to sit with him. They would rather serve a plate of mixed food and eat together and stand next to them and eat.
