Unlimited Food Plan
Chapter 77 Medieval 29
I have to say,? The simple words of these villagers are sometimes more terrifying than wild boars.
The fun was not over, and within a few days, Du Changqiu took Eleonor, and the group went directly to the baron's ball.
Time flies, and the annual protection fee payment day is here again.
Last year, a few boxes of sugar were used to settle the protection fee. This year, sugar is no longer a rare item for Baron Polly.
But this year he specially handed in the recipe for sweet cider, and he didn't need to bring any other precious gifts, so Du Changqiu also brought a carload of sweet cider and some ordinary cider, plus a whole carload of smoked rabbit meat,? So embarked on a tossing journey.
The way there was very calm, probably because everyone was busy paying taxes to the Baron, and Du Changqiu left a bit late, so nothing happened.And because the journey to Riberén was completely saved for a few days, the convoy started late, and when it arrived at the place, it was actually two days early.
This time Du Changqiu rode Fanxing, everyone was a little amused at first, but when Du Changqiu and Fanxing showed off their cooperation, everyone immediately became envious.
The men all thought that such a powerful war ox could catch up with a deer, and even kick a running stag to death. It was not afraid of the attack of the antlers. This thing was more powerful than a war horse!
In addition, Du Changqiu practiced archery hard to avenge his shame, this time he felt proud, and found the joy of hunting.
And Baron Polly was also very enthusiastic about him, and privately told Du Changqiu that he had given the king a batch of sweet cider, for which he not only got a lot of money from selling wine, but also received a large reward.
"From now on, we only need someone to come over every year, so we don't need to bring anything." Under Du Changqiu's shocked eyes, Baron Polly took out the previous contract, tore it up, and handed him a new contract.
Du Changqiu unfolded the parchment and was stunned.
"I have already notarized it." Baron Polly looked at Du Changqiu's expression, let out a hearty laugh, and said, "I said, you and I are like brothers, of course I am not just talking casually!"
Du Changqiu was still shocked, because the contract was no longer about swearing allegiance and inheriting from generation to generation, but instead "reward this piece of land to Charlie Damon, and Charlie Damon owns all the rights to this land."
This is equivalent to saying that even if Du Changqiu has a daughter, he can pass on the land, or sell the land, as he likes!
This piece of land will directly become the real territory of the Damon family from all kinds of constraints.
"The Polly family will not treat any loyal knight badly." Baron Polly was very satisfied with Du Changqiu's shock and laughed out loud.
Du Changqiu has gained a lot this time!He was full of ambition, until he was on the way back with the money and gems rewarded by the baron, only to find that his elder sister Veronica had a sad expression on her face, apparently something was bothering her.
He asked a little bit, and Eleanor Fluoro quickly investigated it.
"Sir, Mr. Anthony proposed to Miss Veronica." Eleanor Fluor brought Du Changqiu the shocking news as soon as he came back, and he said, "Mr. Anthony is the second son of Baron Dumen, and his elder brother is the first heir .”
That is to say, the identity sounds good, but in fact, when their father goes, they will be kicked out of the castle immediately.
Veronica is obviously also a smart girl, she knows that with her current dowry, she can marry a much better candidate, such as the heir of a wealthy manor, or even the heir of a baron, she can choose whatever she wants.
It wasn't that Veronica thought too much, because when she appeared in a long green silk dress this year, all the men, including the heir to the baron, and the down-and-out son of the earl's family who had no right to inherit, came to court her.
Because the emerald on her dress is worth one or two hundred pounds.Everyone can see that the dowry of Miss Veronica may be more than a thousand pounds, and she is definitely a walking golden doll.
But Veronica's heart softened completely when she saw that person.
The young man who smiled at her last year when she was bewildered and ignored, Veronica said goodbye to him at that time, and the busy year hadn't noticed.
But as soon as they met, Veronica realized that she missed this face.
The young girl fell in love, and when the other party proposed, she couldn't help but agree on the spot.
But when she calmed down, Veronica felt how ridiculous this matter was.
"Brother, I know that marrying him will suffer a lot, but, but I like him." After holding back all the way, Veronica finally told her brother about it. She felt that what she did was wrong. fingers, and said, "Brother, I promised him, but I didn't take his ring. I said that if you agree, I will tell him at the baron's ball next year. Then I can promise under your witness He. Otherwise, this incident will never happen.”
Obviously, even though she likes each other very much and is very moved, Veronica still maintains a trace of reason.
Seeing her blushing face, Du Changqiu felt a little bit reluctant, but he calmed down and said, "Veronica, you like him, and if you want to be with him, just listen to your inner voice."
"Brother, aren't you angry?" Veronica raised her head, not daring to be happy, and said nervously, "Anthony has no inheritance rights, and he will not be your helper in the future."
"No, I don't need your husband-in-law to have any political significance to me." Du Changqiu said to Veronica seriously, "I just hope that you marry the person you want to marry and live happily ever after."
This is the hope of the original Charlie, and it is also Du Changqiu's hope now.
Veronica was not surprised.What she thought was very difficult was so easily solved, she didn't even know what to say for a moment.
The two were talking, and they were half a day away from Riberon, and they were talking when they suddenly heard Eleonofor shouting loudly, "Pay attention to Mr. Protect!"
Du Changqiu stretched his head out to have a look, and there was a group of people on horseback standing in the distance!
The other side of the mountain happened to be Louis' territory!
Du Changqiu wanted to wait for Louis to rush down, so that he could find a chance to beat this Louis to the ground.
But Louis looked at it for a while, and probably found that there was really no bargain, so he took the people away.
Arrived in Riberen in the evening, and returned to Werth in no time the next evening.
At this time, the cold winter wind is blowing, and the bleakest winter will soon come again.
It was in such a winter that suddenly a train team arrived in Werth on snowflakes.
"Dear Mr. Charlie, we have brought the silk, porcelain and spices you ordered, and we are specially here to deliver them." The great businessman Witteren smiled and handed over a letter, which was personally written by Butler George.
It said that he did pay a tenth of the deposit and bought the goods.
But the most important thing is that Nyala, who had returned with the merchant, and who had set out with the second convoy of sweet cider, also returned with the large merchant's team.
In the carriage he brought back, after unloading the cotton cloth, cotton, and wheat put on the outside as a cover, there were boxes of wax-sealed boxes inside.
Du Changqiu frowned as he watched the carriages come in to unload goods.
By the time all the cargo was unloaded, it was already midnight.
Nyala asked everyone to leave, took a candle, and opened the lid of the box in front of Du Changqiu and Fan Xing.
Du Changqiu, who was photographed by gold coins, couldn't even open his eyes.
And that's not counting, inside the smaller boxes are more precious jewelry and gems from the East, and there are also some small boxes with large pearls inside.
"...How much wine and sugar did George sell?" Du Changqiu paused for a while before saying this with emotion.
Du Changqiu even thought that George had gone out to rob!
Just these gold coins, at least tens of thousands of pounds, and these gemstones and pearls, these are things that only the nobles can use now!
"These two boxes are mortgaged by the nobles to sell wine." Nyala was originally sent by Du Changqiu to deliver the goods, but due to accidents along the way, he was forced to escort Butler George and his party to Wangcheng, and then all the way back. Seeing the big scene, the whole temperament has changed.
He immediately explained: "This Mr. Nicholas who came this time, we still owe him about three thousand gallons of sweet cider as the final payment."
"Okay, okay." Du Changqiu felt that these spices were really too expensive, but they were too cost-effective when counted as cider.So he received the businessman the next day, and quickly handed over the goods to Elinofor and Nyala to count them together and hand them over to the businessman.
Then he thought it was over.
Unexpectedly, the arrival of Nicholas was just the beginning, and soon, as if the wind and snow were not dangerous at all, the merchant team arrived one by one, and all kinds of fresh food and strange things George thought were brought over .
The iron and glass that Du Changqiu ordered before were delivered, and the porcelain was considered useful, and expensive fabrics like velvet were reserved for the female relatives to make skirts, which was also very good.
But what made him happiest was the spices brought by these people and the specialty of the southern region—tomatoes!
Du Changqiu was so happy that he could fly to the sky. After getting the spices and tomatoes, he took Aunt Mary to start researching all kinds of delicious food every day!
What black pepper grilled steak, what tomato stewed beef brisket, what tomato scrambled eggs...
Du Changqiu's new world has opened!
No wonder tomato has become a home-cooked dish. Du Changqiu has discovered that it can be a home-cooked dish, no matter how it is cooked, it is delicious.
He had a great time eating in the manor, and in the village, the arrival of these merchants throughout the winter brought about huge changes!
"Donna! I bought a bacon sandwich!" The crippled old man came back from the outside and called his daughter into the room angrily.
"Dad, what are you buying this for?!" Donna came out of the house and saw the lunch box in her father's hand, and said with some distress, "It costs a penny each! You can even buy a few brown breads!"
"Hey, your mother and I have tidied up the house recently, and there are more than a dozen people living there!" Seeing his grandchildren running out, the crippled old man creased all the wrinkles on his smiling face, opened the handkerchief carefully, and cut the The small triangular sandwiches were passed to the two children, each with a small one.
The child was very hungry, but he was reluctant to eat it. He cheered and picked up the sandwich and ran out, intending to show off in front of his friends while eating it—this is a bacon sandwich, the kind with bacon inside!
Although there is only a small piece, the layer of white bread on the outside is also queen bread!
"Here, this is for you." With the last piece stuffed into her hand, Donna's eyes were red, and she whispered, "Father, you can eat by yourself, you always bring food to me, if brother and sister-in-law know Great..."
"You eat!" Donna's father was still afraid when he said this in the past, but now he snorted angrily and said angrily, "I usually don't pay attention to him and your mother, and I don't see him when we farm. You actually brought your sister-in-law to take it away, saying that we will have dinner with them...who would believe them?!"
The old man originally wanted to rely on his son for the elderly, and he was very careful to subsidize his widowed daughter, because every time he was found out, his son and daughter-in-law would always make a fuss at home.
Later, the old man broke his leg and became crippled, and it was difficult to do his work. The son actually drove him out of the house, but the daughter took them in.
Although in the manor court in the end, the master awarded the house back to him, and let the patrol team beat his son to support his parents, but every time the son came back to give wheat, it was rye, mixed with Lots of sand and gravel.
The old man was furious, but he still didn't dare to turn against his son. After all, even so, they could still have food, which was a life-saving food for them.
But this year is different!
The old man did a good job this year, and he and the old farm officer Davey are also old friends. They followed hand in hand and managed the two acres of land very well. They harvested more than 300 catties of wheat in total!
The wheat alone, together with the vegetables and beans planted in front of the house, along the ridges of the fields, add up to enough food and drink for the old man and his wife!
The unsatisfactory son has not been taken care of well, and this year's harvest is less than half of his. Seeing the harvest of the two old people, he licked his face again.
When the old man was lame, he ate cold eyes from him for several years. He originally thought that the prodigal son would turn around, and even if he was older, he could get some care.In the end, hundreds of catties of wheat were coaxed away, only half of the wheat was left, and he refused to move it. The son immediately turned his face, and pointed at his nose and scolded him to support his sister. He will starve to death in the future!
These words broke the hearts of Donna's father and mother. The two of them fully understood that their son was really heartless, so they took care of Maizi closely and only helped their daughter Donna to survive every day.
Donna lost her husband, her two children were still young, and she couldn't finish the tax work in the field. Naturally, she didn't dare to rent the field. There was no output, and she only relied on helping her parents to farm the field for a living, which was very tight.
Originally, it was a good opportunity for the sugar factory to recruit people, but she didn't rest well after giving birth, and her face was as pale as a ghost. The recruiters were afraid that something would happen to her, so they didn't want her.After going back and forth, the surrounding people get better and better, but they are the only family who still live tightly.
What her brother said not long ago scared Tang Na, and she felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to say that she would raise her father in the future, but she couldn't speak harsh words, so she cried a lot.
But then, as luck would have it, the master wanted to build a house and a hotel!
Donna's father, old man Simpson, although he was lame, had worked as a carpenter when he was young. Although he could not do anything else, he was able to do this dexterous job, so he was spotted and transferred directly to decorate the hotel!
This job is a clever job, and the salary is the same as that of the hard-working group leaders in charge, a full three shillings a month, which is half a shilling higher than that of the management staff in the factory!
That's a lot of money!
For this reason, the elder brother came back to coax his father, trying to make him change his mind.It's a pity that these two houses have only been repaired for more than two months, and my father has earned eight shillings, so he has no work and is free again.
Although I dare not spend the money, I am still happy after all.
As a result, in winter, a caravan arrived, and Donna's father saw business opportunities again!
At that time, the old man Simpson was wandering around the tavern with his grandson and granddaughter-at that time, it was said that Miss Anna had developed a new food, and the sandwiches had just been put out.
It is said that Mr. Charlie asked Jack to raise pigs in a new way, and then pickled them with salt and smoked them. When they were fried, the smoke came out of the window of the tavern, so fragrant that people in the whole village could not walk.
A palm-sized sandwich is two slices of half-finger-thick white bread with a strip of thin bacon sandwiched inside, plus some shredded cheese and a raw onion ring, cut into four small triangles when eating, It costs a penny if you bring your own lunch box.
If you want to use linen or lunch boxes, you need to add half a penny for packing.
It's not cheap.
But adults can bear it, but children can't. They don't know anything, they only know that they are greedy and panic, and they also know that now that their parents are working and have money, there is always hope for them to act like a spoiled child a few more times.
So I just messed around and got to one. With a small triangle, I can run all over the village, show off the sandwich in my hand to all my friends, and then eat it slowly and carefully.
"Grandpa, don't want an egg sandwich, but bacon and bacon!" There are two prices for sandwiches, the egg is half a penny, and the bacon is a penny. I think the bacon sandwich with oily and salty taste is the most delicious.
Finally, I dragged my grandfather to the tavern, and stood in front of the glass window sill where the sandwiches were placed. Of course, the two children wanted to eat the best, so they pulled Simpson to act like a spoiled child crazily, stepping on their feet and pointing at the grandfather, lest he choose the wrong one.
It's a pity that they were going to be disappointed, because Simpson just heard the sound of the carriage at that time. He looked back and saw a businessman not far from the tavern, who seemed to be dressed like a little nobleman, poking his head out of the carriage and asking People with hotel signs, how much are the vacant rooms here.
"One shilling for one person, sir." A neat young woman in charge of the hotel immediately quoted a price. "There is a tavern opposite, which is very convenient for eating and drinking, sir. You can also order food if you want."
The businessman didn't even blink, obviously very rich, he didn't care about the price at all, he waved his hand and said, "Then prepare two rooms for me."
Evidently, this was the room the businessman reserved for himself and his closest personal entourage.Caravans are like this now, just like when Du Changqiu went to the baron, the entourage had to solve it by themselves.It is impossible for all porters and even slaves to live in hotels.
Simpson's eyes lit up immediately, and he keenly sensed that this was a business opportunity, so he rushed over to take off his hat and introduced it on the spot, and then he got the job of finding a resting place for this group of people!
He and his old wife's house is relatively large, and it is very clean. It is full of clean new grass and firewood piles. The men of the traveling businessman travel around all the year round, and they are not picky at all. Seeing his house, they are very satisfied, so they settled down. It costs half a penny a day for one person, and the price will be mentioned separately if you eat.
Simpson knew that these merchants were rich, but he was still heartbroken when he heard the price, so he quickly agreed and let them choose how many people to live in. Then, twelve people were arranged in his room.
At the end of the day, he could earn six pence lying at home!
Plus the bread and eggs in the morning, Simpson’s old wife cooks, one penny per person for a meal, more delicate, two eggs and two slices of white bread, or replace it with large brown bread, if you still want to eat meat , plus extra money, all of which are produced by the family’s own wheat and livestock.
The merchants stayed for seven days, and the old man and wife Simpson calculated that they had earned three and a half shillings just for the accommodation fee!
When the calculation was clear, Simpson almost fainted. In addition to the money for food and drink every day, although the pedestrians were not particularly rich, they were much more relaxed than them. They almost ate all the food in Simpson's family, and these foods made Simpson Two elderly people and his wife earned a full four shillings!
It is equal to the time of entertaining these people, and they earned seven or eight shillings by relying on that house!
This is the money that the old man Simpson would have had to work for more than two months!
When Simpson took the money and put it back in the earthen jar where he hid the money, his hands were shaking!
As for the more than 100 people in the large caravan, he digested twelve, and introduced them to the acquaintances who knew that they were relatively clean. The rabbit, eggs, and cheese came to the house and thanked Simpson.
So now Simpson has the confidence. He doesn’t even bother with his son’s visits. In addition to the original work money, he has more than a dozen shillings in his hand, which is a huge sum of money. There is no shortage of wheat in the family. It only costs a penny to buy some delicious food for my grandchildren, so what are you afraid of for such a small amount of money!
"Donna, you eat." The old man was very happy, and said to her, "I discussed with your mother, we plan to tidy up your side, repair the barn side, lay fresh wood, and then we will live Here, leave the next door open and entertain guests! If you have a room this time, wouldn't you get it for a few shillings?!"
When Donna heard it, she was happier than eating anything, and said excitedly, "Hey, okay, dad, I'll clean it up now!"
"Eat the food first." The old man looked at the poor daughter with love in his eyes.
Feeling excited, Donna carefully tore open the small triangular sandwich, handed it to her father, and said softly, "Dad, you can eat too."
"Hey!" Simpson had a sore nose, not daring to show his daughter.
The father and daughter ate the little sandwich in silence. Because there were too few, each of them took a bite, put it in their mouths and chew slowly, the aroma of bacon and rich fat rose little by little, with a strong smell aroma.
Wrapped in soft white bread, the spiciness of a little raw onion just rightly dilutes the overly rich smell of oil, making all the flavors brighter.
"It's delicious!" Donna swallowed this piece of bread, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice.
"It's delicious, Dad will buy it for you next time." Simpson said softly.
"Yeah." Donna nodded, thinking she was lucky. Her husband passed away early and her brother and sister-in-law hated her, but her father and mother have always treated her very well. Without their care, she would have died early.
What Donna didn't expect was that this was just the beginning, and the caravans continued to come and go throughout the winter. Relying on the livestock barn that her parents helped clean up, she earned almost two pounds in one winter.
Her life, from this winter, began to take a sharp turn, and began to enter spring.

You actually brought your sister-in-law to take it away, saying that we will have dinner with them...who would believe them?!"
The old man originally wanted to rely on his son for the elderly, and he was very careful to subsidize his widowed daughter, because every time he was found out, his son and daughter-in-law would always make a fuss at home.
Later, the old man broke his leg and became crippled, and it was difficult to do his work. The son actually drove him out of the house, but the daughter took them in.
Although in the manor court in the end, the master awarded the house back to him, and let the patrol team beat his son to support his parents, but every time the son came back to give wheat, it was rye, mixed with Lots of sand and gravel.
The old man was furious, but he still didn't dare to turn against his son. After all, even so, they could still have food, which was a life-saving food for them.
But this year is different!
The old man did a good job this year, and he and the old farm officer Davey are also old friends. They followed hand in hand and managed the two acres of land very well. They harvested more than 300 catties of wheat in total!
The wheat alone, together with the vegetables and beans planted in front of the house, along the ridges of the fields, add up to enough food and drink for the old man and his wife!
The unsatisfactory son has not been taken care of well, and this year's harvest is less than half of his. Seeing the harvest of the two old people, he licked his face again.
When the old man was lame, he ate cold eyes from him for several years. He originally thought that the prodigal son would turn around, and even if he was older, he could get some care.In the end, hundreds of catties of wheat were coaxed away, only half of the wheat was left, and he refused to move it. The son immediately turned his face, and pointed at his nose and scolded him to support his sister. He will starve to death in the future!
These words broke the hearts of Donna's father and mother. The two of them fully understood that their son was really heartless, so they took care of Maizi closely and only helped their daughter Donna to survive every day.
Donna lost her husband, her two children were still young, and she couldn't finish the tax work in the field. Naturally, she didn't dare to rent the field. There was no output, and she only relied on helping her parents to farm the field for a living, which was very tight.
Originally, it was a good opportunity for the sugar factory to recruit people, but she didn't rest well after giving birth, and her face was as pale as a ghost. The recruiters were afraid that something would happen to her, so they didn't want her.After going back and forth, the surrounding people get better and better, but they are the only family who still live tightly.
What her brother said not long ago scared Tang Na, and she felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to say that she would raise her father in the future, but she couldn't speak harsh words, so she cried a lot.
But then, as luck would have it, the master wanted to build a house and a hotel!
Donna's father, old man Simpson, although he was lame, had worked as a carpenter when he was young. Although he could not do anything else, he was able to do this dexterous job, so he was spotted and transferred directly to decorate the hotel!
This job is a clever job, and the salary is the same as that of the hard-working group leaders in charge, a full three shillings a month, which is half a shilling higher than that of the management staff in the factory!
That's a lot of money!
For this reason, the elder brother came back to coax his father, trying to make him change his mind.It's a pity that these two houses have only been repaired for more than two months, and my father has earned eight shillings, so he has no work and is free again.
Although I dare not spend the money, I am still happy after all.
As a result, in winter, a caravan arrived, and Donna's father saw business opportunities again!
At that time, the old man Simpson was wandering around the tavern with his grandson and granddaughter-at that time, it was said that Miss Anna had developed a new food, and the sandwiches had just been put out.
It is said that Mr. Charlie asked Jack to raise pigs in a new way, and then pickled them with salt and smoked them. When they were fried, the smoke came out of the window of the tavern, so fragrant that people in the whole village could not walk.
A palm-sized sandwich is two slices of half-finger-thick white bread with a strip of thin bacon sandwiched inside, plus some shredded cheese and a raw onion ring, cut into four small triangles when eating, It costs a penny if you bring your own lunch box.
If you want to use linen or lunch boxes, you need to add half a penny for packing.
It's not cheap.
But adults can bear it, but children can't. They don't know anything, they only know that they are greedy and panic, and they also know that now that their parents are working and have money, there is always hope for them to act like a spoiled child a few more times.
So I just messed around and got to one. With a small triangle, I can run all over the village, show off the sandwich in my hand to all my friends, and then eat it slowly and carefully.
"Grandpa, don't want an egg sandwich, but bacon and bacon!" There are two prices for sandwiches, the egg is half a penny, and the bacon is a penny. I think the bacon sandwich with oily and salty taste is the most delicious.
Finally, I dragged my grandfather to the tavern, and stood in front of the glass window sill where the sandwiches were placed. Of course, the two children wanted to eat the best, so they pulled Simpson to act like a spoiled child crazily, stepping on their feet and pointing at the grandfather, lest he choose the wrong one.
It's a pity that they were going to be disappointed, because Simpson just heard the sound of the carriage at that time. He looked back and saw a businessman not far from the tavern, who seemed to be dressed like a little nobleman, poking his head out of the carriage and asking People with hotel signs, how much are the vacant rooms here.
"One shilling for one person, sir." A neat young woman in charge of the hotel immediately quoted a price. "There is a tavern opposite, which is very convenient for eating and drinking, sir. You can also order food if you want."
The businessman didn't even blink, obviously very rich, he didn't care about the price at all, he waved his hand and said, "Then prepare two rooms for me."
Evidently, this was the room the businessman reserved for himself and his closest personal entourage.Caravans are like this now, just like when Du Changqiu went to the baron, the entourage had to solve it by themselves.It is impossible for all porters and even slaves to live in hotels.
Simpson's eyes lit up immediately, and he keenly sensed that this was a business opportunity, so he rushed over to take off his hat and introduced it on the spot, and then he got the job of finding a resting place for this group of people!
He and his old wife's house is relatively large, and it is very clean. It is full of clean new grass and firewood piles. The men of the traveling businessman travel around all the year round, and they are not picky at all. Seeing his house, they are very satisfied, so they settled down. It costs half a penny a day for one person, and the price will be mentioned separately if you eat.
Simpson knew that these merchants were rich, but he was still heartbroken when he heard the price, so he quickly agreed and let them choose how many people to live in. Then, twelve people were arranged in his room.
At the end of the day, he could earn six pence lying at home!
Plus the bread and eggs in the morning, Simpson’s old wife cooks, one penny per person for a meal, more delicate, two eggs and two slices of white bread, or replace it with large brown bread, if you still want to eat meat , plus extra money, all of which are produced by the family’s own wheat and livestock.
The merchants stayed for seven days, and the old man and wife Simpson calculated that they had earned three and a half shillings just for the accommodation fee!
When the calculation was clear, Simpson almost fainted. In addition to the money for food and drink every day, although the pedestrians were not particularly rich, they were much more relaxed than them. They almost ate all the food in Simpson's family, and these foods made Simpson Two elderly people and his wife earned a full four shillings!
It is equal to the time of entertaining these people, and they earned seven or eight shillings by relying on that house!
This is the money that the old man Simpson would have had to work for more than two months!
When Simpson took the money and put it back in the earthen jar where he hid the money, his hands were shaking!
As for the more than 100 people in the large caravan, he digested twelve, and introduced them to the acquaintances who knew that they were relatively clean. The rabbit, eggs, and cheese came to the house and thanked Simpson.
So now Simpson has the confidence. He doesn’t even bother with his son’s visits. In addition to the original work money, he has more than a dozen shillings in his hand, which is a huge sum of money. There is no shortage of wheat in the family. It only costs a penny to buy some delicious food for my grandchildren, so what are you afraid of for such a small amount of money!
"Donna, you eat." The old man was very happy, and said to her, "I discussed with your mother, we plan to tidy up your side, repair the barn side, lay fresh wood, and then we will live Here, leave the next door open and entertain guests! If you have a room this time, wouldn't you get it for a few shillings?!"
When Donna heard it, she was happier than eating anything, and said excitedly, "Hey, okay, dad, I'll clean it up now!"
"Eat the food first." The old man looked at the poor daughter with love in his eyes.
Feeling excited, Donna carefully tore open the small triangular sandwich, handed it to her father, and said softly, "Dad, you can eat too."
"Hey!" Simpson had a sore nose, not daring to show his daughter.
The father and daughter ate the little sandwich in silence. Because there were too few, each of them took a bite, put it in their mouths and chew slowly, the aroma of bacon and rich fat rose little by little, with a strong smell aroma.
Wrapped in soft white bread, the spiciness of a little raw onion just rightly dilutes the overly rich smell of oil, making all the flavors brighter.
"It's delicious!" Donna swallowed this piece of bread, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice.
"It's delicious, Dad will buy it for you next time." Simpson said softly.
"Yeah." Donna nodded, thinking she was lucky. Her husband passed away early and her brother and sister-in-law hated her, but her father and mother have always treated her very well. Without their care, she would have died early.
What Donna didn't expect was that this was just the beginning, and the caravans continued to come and go throughout the winter. Relying on the livestock barn that her parents helped clean up, she earned almost two pounds in one winter.
Her life, from this winter, began to take a sharp turn, and began to enter spring.
