The big wedding of the Mo Family caused a sensation in the local area. Although it didn't completely change the impression of the Mo Family Village in their minds, at least some villages had regarded the Mo Family Village as an equal.
Especially when Meton announced that each of the newlyweds would get a house, many families had regarded the Mo Family Village as the first place to marry off their daughters.
God! That was three big tile-roofed houses with green bricks and green tiles! No one knew why the Young Master of the Mo Family Village was so generous. This was the best condition to marry off a daughter in any place. Even in the future, it was also one of the necessary conditions for a mother-in-law to choose a son-in-law.
Moreover, the Mo Family Village had made a lot of money recently. Many carts of grain were transported to the village freely. Li Yi, who was proud of his success, led the matchmakers to the granary of the Mo Family Village to have a look. After these matchmakers spread the news, all the villages within dozens of miles knew that the Mo Family Village had made a fortune.
"Hello, Young Master!"
When Li Yi led Meton to wander around the Mo Family Village, some villagers came to greet them from time to time. Meton smiled and responded to them one by one.
At this time, the Mo Family Village had changed a lot. The dilapidated houses that were about to collapse had already been demolished. The roads were smooth and even, which were as beautiful as the official roads. Drainage ditches were laid on both sides of the road. The roads were washed by the river outside the village.
"Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work!" Meton said sincerely when he saw the great change of the Mo Family Village.
"It's all thanks to everyone's efforts. Young Master, you have given them hope. That's why they have changed so much!" Li Yi also said with gratification. In the past, the Mo Family Village was full of hooligans who had no time to clean up the village.
Now the Mo Family Village had finally improved. No matter how tired the villagers were, they would clean their houses inside and outside.
"Has the money been distributed?" Meton asked.
"Young Master, it has been distributed. 100 yuan per person. Brother Fu delivered the money from door to door." When the Spring Festival was approaching, the Mo Family Village and the live fish business was booming. It could be said that they had made a lot of money. Meton wanted to improve the Mo Family Village. After thinking about it, he decided that dividends were more practical.
"Dividends." No one understood this new word, but it didn't hinder the enthusiasm of the villagers of the Mo's Village.
The money was not much, 100 yuan for each person, regardless of gender, old or young, or newly married women. It was a timely rain for some poor families. They could buy clothes for their children and farm tools for their families. In short, the Mo Family Village could finally have a good New Year.
"Dividends!"
Guo Xiaomei holds two hundred yuan in her hand, and her big eyes are shining. This is the bonus money for her and Li Xin. She doesn't expect that she can get the bonus money today when she just entered the family yesterday. It can be seen how generous the Village Mo is. Guo Xiaomei's heart is taken in at once.
"What about introducing my sister to him? I heard from Li Xin that there are many young men in the Village Mo." Guo Xiaomei made a decision secretly.
One hundred coins per person was not a lot, but there were more than five thousand people in the Mo's Village. One yuan was equal to five hundred strings of coins. Neither Meton nor Uncle Fu cared about the five hundred strings of coins. Their goal was to make the Mo's Village rich as a whole. After the money was distributed, everyone would follow Meton wholeheartedly. Five hundred strings of string of cash can unite the hearts of the Mo's Village. It must be worth it.
As Morton walked, his ears twitched. He heard a commotion in front of him.
"This is Master Yu. He is distributing the pork to everyone. Those newly married young men also know how to repay kindness. They feel sorry for living in the new house first, so each of them bought a big fat pig and distributed it to the villagers. Good heavens, all of them are more than 200 pounds." Li Yi said with gratification.
Obviously, this proposal was proposed by Li Xin, and Li Yi strongly supported it.
"Brother Xin, you are so honest!" Meton was also a little complacent in his heart. Seeing that the villagers of the Mo's Village could take the initiative to think for others, this kind of atmosphere was worth advocating.
"Let's go and have a look!" Meton became interested and went excitedly.
"Ah! Young master, it's too dirty inside! "Li Yi shouted behind, but soon he was left behind by Meton and could not catch up with him.
Li Yi followed him with a wry smile. At this time, he suddenly realized that his young master was still a child.
"One, two, three!"
When Meton arrived at the pig slaughtering site outside the village, he saw Li Xin and a few other young men carrying a big fat pig weighing more than 200 pounds into a big pot. Under the pot, chopped wood was added, and it was burning fiercely.
More than ten slaughtered pigs were neatly placed on the table in front of them, steaming hot. Master Yu was holding a machete and distributing the meat to everyone.
"Auntie Ma, your teeth are not good, so I'll give you some fatty meat!" Master Yu said to the old woman in front of him with a smile.
"Brother Dong! This is yours! "
… … …
Master Yu's machete skills were superb, and he controlled the weight of each cut accurately. Moreover, he knew that there were several people in the family, so there was no need to weigh them at all. He gave more and less to the family.
Suddenly, Meton saw Zi Yi standing in front of Master Yu, drooling. When she saw Meton, she smiled and waved at him.
"Young master! Look, Uncle Yu left such a big piece of fatty meat for us! "Zi Yi looked at the pieces of white fatty meat in front of her and was extremely excited. In this era, oil was extremely scarce, and the price of fatty meat was much higher than lean meat.
"Urgh! Meton felt nauseous when he saw the fatty meat. He had always been a loyal supporter of lean meat, and he really couldn't get used to eating fatty meat.
"I don't want so much fatty meat. Other than this piece of pork belly, I want all of it to be lean meat!" Meton pointed at the fatty meat that was no less than 5 pounds and said with a frown.
"Ah! Young master, that's fatty meat! "Zi Yi looked at the fatty meat with heartache. She couldn't understand Meton's actions at all.
"That piece of pork belly is prepared for you." Meton said in surprise. In his heart, he thought, 'Miss, if you were in the future, you would definitely not want to eat fatty meat at all and would spend all your time trying to lose weight.'
"Alright!" Zi Yi reluctantly gave up. Anyway, she already had pork belly. If the young master wanted to eat it, she could just give him a piece.
Under Meton's instructions, Master Yu very straightforwardly removed the entire loin from the pig and gave it to Zi Yi along with the pork belly.
"Leave me a portion of the pig liver as well. Give me some of the intestines, kidneys, and bones!" Meton pointed at a few things that the other villagers didn't think were fatty. Master Yu passed them all to Zi Yi one by one.
Zi Yi received them with a wronged expression. Her young master was too noble. He actually gave up such good meat for the villagers and chose these scraps of meat.
Only Master Yu understood Meton's taste. Back in Chang 'an City, Meton didn't even eat the fat in the belly of fish. Of course, he couldn't eat fatty meat.
"Alright, stop pouting. When it's done, I'll let you taste it and you'll know what kind of meat is good." Meton teased Zi Yi.
