Chapter 177 Upper Liang Banquet
"Does anyone think it was our family who did it? "
Although lin dahai was honest and honest, his brain was not stupid.he asked the main point in a sentence.
Li dahe quickly waved his hand and smiled. Don't worry, no one mentioned our family. "
"Good. "
Everyone nodded and elder lin waved his hand." Since we have nothing to do with our family, let's not talk about it. All the previous grudges were settled. In the future, live a good life, be modest and prudent, not arrogant and overbearing, the wang family must be a warning! "
"Yes. "
Everyone agreed, and then they brought a cool bowl of rice and started to eat and drink.
While eating, Jiao Jiao was guessing who killed wang li's master and servant, but he had no clue. In the end, she simply threw it to the back of her head.
However, this time, she did not know that wang li's death was definitely related to the lin family and was directly related to her.
However, for the time being, she did not know.
After dinner, everyone went to work. Although they were thinking about the old master's instruction, they did not put their glooms on their faces, they could not help but look happy. After all, wang li had caused too much damage to the lin family back then. Now that he had removed a big enemy, it was a happy event.
Most of the three courtyards had already been built, and they were only waiting for the beam to come up tomorrow.
Lin dahe personally brought lin hua back to the city to pick up wine and meat, as well as snacks and sweets.
Old master lin took a carriage to invite old master zhao, as well as li he and li zheng from little wang village. He would come to his house tomorrow to have a drink and discuss about the beijing hall.
Now, half a month had passed since the school started, and everything was on track. The old man planned to withdraw his family. Of course, it wasn' t a matter of letting go of power. The jing hua hall had to be under the care of the lin family. No one could change that.
However, there were some small details that required three villages to participate in one or two. One was to strengthen the connection between the lin family village and the three villages. The other was that there were dozens of children in the jing hua hall, so they would definitely be thinking about them. Instead of letting their families try their best to find out, they might as well give them a fair and aboveboard opportunity.
The night watch at the beijing huatang hall had always been brother dao's business, and it happened to give him a place to stay in the lin family village.
But the kitchen is zhao with the village women are busy, women do not receive wages, because the children are here to read, easy to look after.
Soon it was spring sowing, and the women were busy at home. The exchange of hands was so frequent that today's food was salty and tomorrow was light. The children are not picky, but they are not.
Therefore, the old man proposed to send a skilled woman from each of the three villages to take care of the children's meals.the lin family village also had one help.the four of them were busy enough.
When school was over, the children of the three villages were accompanied by adults on their way.
As for the wages, the lin family did not plan to pay for this. This was for the good of their children, so they had to bear the burden of their parents. Or the monthly delivery of rice noodles and vegetables to the women in their villages, or copper money are good, can let the villages themselves discuss.
The lin family wasn' t that short of money, so it wasn' t easy for them to develop a bad habit of relying on the lin family and treating the lin family's generosity as a duty.
The three villages already had the intention to befriend the lin family village, and old master lin personally invited them. Naturally, they were happy to be there the next day.
The lin family had set up a total of 30 tables of banquets, with friends and relatives as well as all lin clansmen, as well as all the craftsmen and helpers involved in the construction.
The wine is still the traditional northern style, six big bowls. Actually, it was a big bowl, and there was nothing smaller than a potted pot.
A few days earlier, the lin family had bought 30 hens in the village.they had killed and cut them yesterday.the five large iron pots in the early morning cooker, stewed chicken and mushroom, cooked garlic and white meat in one go, and the pork bones and bones in the other, stewed with pickled vegetables, pork and frozen tofu in the other, one was dried and fried with bacon, and another was added with minced meat to make cold dishes, which was exactly six dishes. None of them were vegetarian. They were full of meat and oil. Everyone ate with their eyes glowing.
As soon as the elders at the main table moved their chopsticks, they couldn' t wait to eat.
Such a sumptuous banquet, not to mention the ten-mile eight villages, was a hundred miles away from the time of the wedding and funeral, not to mention just a beam on the roof of a house.
Old master lin politely ordered his brothers to eat and drink until they were half full and the chopsticks in his hands slowed down before he picked up the wine bowl and spoke.
"Today, my house is on the beam, and I thank all my neighbors for leaving their work behind and coming to celebrate. During this period of time, he had to trouble all the people to help him. If he paid for the work, it would be a waste of the friendship between the villagers. He had to thank the villagers with this table and banquet. Our lin family is well aware that in the future, as long as there is a need, the villagers just open their mouths. We live next door to each other and help each other. Come on, everybody dry this bowl of wine, and the days ahead will be more and more! "
"Well, my lord, speak freely! "
"Use the old man's good fortune! "
"Thank you, old man, for this wonderful meal of wine and meat! "
Most of the farmers had never read a book before, so they couldn' t understand what elder lin had said. However, old master lin's words were so simple and simple that they liked them very much. They all raised their wine bowls and drank them clean.
Lin dahai and the four brothers stood up as well, and they drank another round of wine at the table.
Old master lin looked at the people on the main seat, who were full of food and wine, and then began to discuss the matter of the beijing huatang hall.
As expected, this reasonable arrangement was immediately agreed by the elders of the zheng he clan in the other three villages.
Elder brother lin was thoughtful. The children read books every day and walked back and forth for more than ten miles. There should be an adult following them. Not to mention the sinister heart of the people, the road is easy to appear abductors, even the mountain beasts are often down the mountain to forage for food, an adult to take care of, the family is a lot more assured. "
"Yes, our village women look around the village every noon, and now they are arranged to work in the school, I am afraid they are all overjoyed. "
Old master lin saw that everyone was so supportive, so he smiled and said," a woman from each village works in the kitchen. The wages or remuneration are arranged by the villages, but they can eat two meals a day with the children. "
As expected, the elders were overjoyed. The peasant family was thrifty, with three meals in summer and two in winter. The school provided two meals here, and the working woman almost brought her mouth out of the house, and did not need to eat a grain of grain at home, which saved her a lot of chewing.
Everyone was in high spirits at the dinner. After drinking 40 jars of liquor, there was a shallow layer left in the bowl, and the big basket of steamed bread was empty.
