Chapter 698 Deserve it

The rest of the people also agreed, and no one dared to be too worried.

Zhou Li watched silently, and suddenly understood why his fourth aunt dared to give two hundred taels of silver to people to buy things.

These people are truly honest.

Xi Yao looked at several baskets of things and said seriously: "These things are crucial to the people in the military camp, but because the peppers have always been owned by the Nanliang Kingdom, the things you picked can be regarded as meritorious services." Well, giving you five cents per catty is not a sign of kindness on my part, you deserve it!"

"The military camp wants it?" Several people discovered the key point and looked at the things in the basket in disbelief. They couldn't believe it.

"Well, because the matter is so important, I can't tell you in detail, nor can I tell my family. I just want to collect the herbs needed in the military camp first." Xi Yao made an excuse for them, and then said: "You guys It would be better if we could find more. If Nanliang knew about it, we might not be able to get even one!"

"Don't worry, sister, we all know the seriousness. If this is leaked, it will be like treason. Not to mention doing something big, not even Aozi Village can tolerate such people!" Awang's father said sternly.

"That's right, we all know the importance, but we don't dare to talk nonsense!"

Everyone made their pledges one after another with serious faces.

Xi Yao glanced at them and said with a smile: "I have always believed in you, that's why I told you, and I ask you to help me!"

"We still made money!" Someone muttered sheepishly.

They have never thought about paying more than 50 yuan a day.

"That's what you deserve!" Xi Yao said. Remembering that he didn't have a title, he asked Awang's father, "Can I borrow this title?"

"There's some in the village!" Awang's father hurriedly replied, and then ordered the people around him to get it.

This weight is quite impressive, because they were all brought back wet. The least one weighed almost 20 kilograms, and Awang’s dad weighed almost 40 kilograms. The main reason was that he also carried a small backpack and was more pretentious than others. There are many.

After getting nearly two hundred kilograms of fresh chili peppers, Xi Yao happily paid all the money.

The villagers were even more happy. They made more money in one day than they usually earn in several days, especially Awang's father. Xi Yao directly made up a round amount and gave him two hundred coins, which made his hands tremble.

After Xi Yao asked people to pour all the chili peppers in one place, he urged them to go back quickly.

After these people entered the mountain, they had eaten solid food. It was almost dark now, so they must be hungry.

These people left happily. Xi Yao looked at the pile of chili peppers and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Only Zhou Li was out of the situation, because he didn't pick the peppers, and he didn't get paid...

The pig's feet had been stewed all afternoon and had long since fallen off the bones.

Xi Yao steamed another pot of rice, and then used pork belly to make a dish of braised pork with pickled vegetables. The aroma made Zhou Li swallow his saliva, feeling that he had been at a loss before.

Everyone thought the food at grandma's house was delicious, but when the fourth aunt took action, she found that no one could compare to it.

The fourth aunt in front of me didn't cook properly and seriously.

She is doing it now because she feels sorry for her fourth uncle.

Zhou Rong came back under the moonlight just when Xi Yao thought he was not coming back, his face full of exhaustion.

"Why so late?" Xi Yao approached and asked.

"We had a battle today and we won miserably. There were serious casualties. In addition, there was not enough food in the military camp. Some things happened. We discussed some things and it was too late to come back!" He explained while rubbing his brow.

Seeing him like this, Xi Yao felt a little regretful for letting him mess around last night.

"Have you eaten?"
