Chapter 24: Stewed Meat in a Big Pot to Fill Your Belly
my word."The clerk sneered: "Why should I let you owe me money""Of course I won't take advantage of you, three days time, three hundred words in interest.""Three days later, at the county office, one...At the same time, countless families were issuing the same command.
More and more people are heading to Koushan Village, even the small roads leading there have become bustling.
The tofu workshop by the river was still bustling with activity. Upon hearing the news, people from all directions flocked there, coming in an endless stream, making it even more lively than the town market.
"Hey hey hey, get out of my way!"
Liu Liang fanned himself, swaggering along with two servants flanking him.
Upon seeing Liu Liang, Yang Lin didn't take any notice of him.
He taught them how to make tofu. If the Liu landlord didn't covet it, that would be a ghost!
After Liu Liang arrived, he went straight to Yang Lin.
"Yang Lin, this young master is generous. I let bygones be bygones. You quickly get rid of these peasants. Your tofu-making skills are remarkable! This young master will take over!"
Liu Liang patted his chest boldly and said, "Just say how much you want, I'll pay it!"
Yang Lin smiled.
The wealthy families in the county still know to prioritize civility before force, but they only think about monopolizing tofu first and then technology.
This guy wants to eat alone right from the start. Where does he get his confidence
"Let me give you a price Sure."
"Ten thousand taels of silver will do, I guarantee that the tofu-making techniques will no longer be passed on to others."
Yang Lin said faintly.
"What"
Liu Liang's eyes widened suddenly.
"Are you kidding me 100,000 taels You're going to rob someone"
Liu Liang spat.
The Liu family are just landlords in the village. Don't even talk about ten thousand taels, even one thousand taels of silver, they can't come up with it.
Yang Lin shrugged: "If you have no money, don't waste my time doing business. Get out."
"You..."
Liu Liang was furious.
As the young master of a wealthy family, he was being told he had no money This was the first time!
"Are you deliberately teasing me"
Liu Liang clenched his fists.
Yang Lin was both angry and amused: “Young Master, didn’t you ask me to name a price I was worried your family wasn't wealthy enough, so I set the price at 100,000 taels. This is already very cheap. If you can’t even afford this, please don’t talk big.”
Liu Liang was so angry that he had no words. He glared fiercely at Yang Lin and said, "Good! You, Yang Lin!"
"You think you're something just because you can make tofu Today, I'll let you know that the Liu family is someone you can't afford to offend!"
As he spoke, Liu Liang waved his hand.
Two servants beside him immediately stepped forward, rolled up their sleeves, and walked toward Yang Lin.
Liu Liang looked at Yang Lin triumphantly and said coldly, "Today I'll beat you so badly your mother won't even recognize you!"
"Hit him hard!"
Yang Lin reached into his sleeve, ready to grab his self-defense weapon.
At that moment, two villagers who were working nearby stepped in front of Yang Lin.
"I'll take on anyone who dares to touch Yang Lin!"
"If you want to touch Yang Lin, kill me first!"
Surrounded by people, others dropped what they were doing and rushed over.
What are you going to do
"Don't hit Yang Lin!"
"Young Master Liu, you're being too much."
They all borrowed money from Yang Lin and came here to work.
Their thoughts were also simple: Yang Lin had done them a favor, and now that Yang Lin was in trouble, they absolutely couldn't stand idly by!
At this moment, one villager after another picked up their擔子, buckets, and spades, surrounding Yang Lin and shielding him behind them. They glared angrily at Liu Liang and his two servants.
Both servants were immediately frightened, staring in horror as more and more people gathered around Yang Lin.
Faced with so many people, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on anyone. They hurriedly turned their heads to look at Liu Liang.
Liu Liang was also unbelievable.
Once upon a time, Yang Lin lived in the village, but he was nothing more than a laughingstock.
And today, there are so many people who spontaneously stood in front of him "You... what do you want to do"
Liu Liang pointed at these villagers.
"I've got you all figured out! You'll regret it if you go back. I'll tell my father to raise your rent!"
Liu Liang glared fiercely at the villagers.
The villagers, however, were all sneering.
"Mr. Liu is joking, we already paid last year's taxes and we haven't sold the land yet."
"Hahaha, Young Master Liu really thinks that this village in the mountains belongs to your Liu family"
"If it weren't for Yang Lin, we would have indeed become tenants of your family. But now the land is still ours, who are you trying to scare"
Everyone looked at Liu Liang as if he were an idiot.
Liu Liang was stunned.
In the village, he was used to being arrogant and even villagers with no dealings would give him some leeway.
But now, these guys don't even look at him
"You all wait for me!"
Let's go!
Liu Liang was helpless and could only let out a harsh word. He left with two lackeys, looking dejectedly miserable.
After Liu Liang left, the villagers all breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were filled with excitement.
In the past, when facing the Liu family, they always had to be submissive and never dared to speak as boldly as they do today.
They all understand that the courage they have today is because Yang Lin gave them hope!
However, thinking of the Liu family's methods, the villagers were still a little worried.
"Yang Lin, Liu the Landlord is indeed a difficult person to deal with. You have to be careful in the future."
They will use any dirty tricks.
"Yeah, the Liu family won't let this go."
The villagers all looked towards Yang Lin.
Seeing everyone's worried faces, Yang Lin bowed deeply to the crowd.
When he was in trouble, everyone stepped up to help, and Yang Lin was deeply touched.
"Rest assured, everyone. I, Yang Lin, am here today to make a promise to you all! I, Yang Lin, will lead us all and together we will live a good life!"
"No one can take this all away from us!"
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the villagers all became excited and invigorated.
Yes, no one can take this away!
Whoever wants to come and take it, let them fight for it!
Yang Lin's wages gave them all hope for life.
And whoever destroys all of this, is destroying their hope!
Tonight, we're having stewed pork! Anyone who works for me tonight can bring their family over. Let's eat a big bowl of rice and pig meat!
"Eat your fill!"
Yang Lin shouted loudly.
The villagers were all shocked.
White rice
Pork
This is something they might not even be able to eat during the Lunar New Year!
Remembering that luxurious taste, many people have already swallowed their saliva.
And some people have already shed tears.
Unlimited rice and pork
Things I never dared to dream of are becoming reality.
“Yang Lin, as long as you can make my family live a good life, I, Lao Lin, will give my life to you!”
"That's right, I don't understand any grand philosophies either. As long as someone can keep my family alive, I'll give him my life!"
The villagers exclaimed with excitement.
However, little Jiu quietly tugged on Yang Lin's clothes.
Xiao Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Brother, they have hundreds of people with their families! If they eat pork to their fill, it would take at least a hundred kilograms! And our family's money…"
"Not many left!"any longer and hurriedly asked.Yang Lin smiled and said, "You guys wait for me here a moment, I'll take you to a place!""My lady, you stay here to watch the house."After making arrangements, everyone...
