Chapter 1141 Beat them until they obey
Wu Lazi stood up and said, "Then I'll go. These guys are not at ease."
Anyone who suddenly finds themselves in such a strange and solemn environment will feel uneasy.
Wu Jiang asked: "Master, where should we put these people?"
Zhou Guo said: "Thousands of people have come from the north this time. We are not so short of people now. Let's keep them in the south for now. As more and more territory is conquered in the south, there is a greater shortage of people. The weather is dry this year, and I am afraid it will be even busier next year. You should bring them out.
These people are different from Qian Duo and his men. They have been bandits for more than ten years and have robbed many people. They know how to deal with bandits. The job of escort is quite suitable for them. "
"Yes." Wu Jiang nodded. "If we can take down the two mountain strongholds ahead, the shortage of people in the south will be alleviated temporarily. If these people can bring out one or two people like Lai Zitou Qianduo, we will have helpers."
After all, what they lack is capable leaders. It’s easy to find temporary workers as long as there is money.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I think the head of Wu is pretty good. He is a man who is quick and decisive. It would be great if the heads of the two mountain strongholds ahead could also be so aware of current affairs."
Wu Jiang said: "Yes. Why do people become bandits? It's because they can't survive. But now they have a better place to go. They can support themselves and their families. They don't have to worry about their heads hanging on the waist. They can eat and wear warm clothes. Who would be so desperate to become a bandit in the mountains?"
Not only will they have a bad reputation, but their descendants will also have no way out. Now is a time of chaos. When the world is peaceful one day, who knows when they will be suppressed by the imperial court, and by then they will not even have a choice.
The best choice he made in his life was to follow Zhou Guo and become Zhou Guo's disciple. Now, wherever he goes, people call him General Manager Wu.
In the north, even the county magistrate has to give him face.
Of course, he couldn't embarrass Zhou Guo or cause trouble. People gave him face, so he had to save their face. After all, they were officials, and he was a servant, of lower status than others. He had to be aware of this.
Every brother below must have it.
Zhou Guo said calmly: "It doesn't matter if they don't know the current situation. I will beat them until they know the current situation. Anyway, I have plenty of time to waste with them."
After these bandit dens are wiped out, this road will no longer be threatened and more merchants will come and go. With more merchants, the economy of a place will become more and more prosperous, which is a good thing in every way.
Therefore, she had to defeat these gangs of bandits.
In less than half an hour, the meal will be ready.
Chef Zhang is quite good at this. Even though he only has two pots and it is the second time for processing, after these ingredients have passed through his hands, not only the appearance has changed a lot, the aroma has also become stronger, and the taste is even different.
Especially the braised pig's pig tendon, which is softer, more chewy and more flavorful.
He ate seven or eight pieces in one go and praised, "Chef Zhang, although this pig's tendon is processed twice, it's not much different from what I make in the barracks. It's delicious!"
She really loves to eat this. She loves to eat any tendon, whether it is pig, beef or deer.
Seeing that she was only eating pig tendons, Chef Zhang said, "Don't just eat this, try the others, they taste good too. When I have time, I'll make you Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Although I'm not good at this cuisine, I'm very good at this dish. I learned it from someone."
Zhou Guo nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, sir, you must have done a good job."
She had also eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before, always in a restaurant, but the taste was just so-so, not as delicious as she had imagined. She didn't know if it was because the cooking method was wrong.
She glanced at Wu Lazi on the other side, waved at her, and asked her to come over for dinner.
On the first day down the mountain, as the leader, she had to take them out for a few meals to show how much she valued them.
Wu Lazi came over happily, "Master, can you let me eat with you?"
Although she didn't really like the dishes that Chef Zhang mentioned, she still liked these dishes very much, such as roast chicken and roast duck. It was so difficult to prepare them in the mountains on a normal day, she couldn't bear to eat them like this.
A chicken or duck is chopped into small pieces and stewed in a big pot with radishes and mushrooms. Everyone eats together. Everyone can get two pieces and drink the soup to feel full. It would be a waste to cook a whole roast chicken like this.
Even as the boss of the family, she couldn't bear to do so.
Zhou Guo handed her a roast chicken and said, "Come and try it. You treated me to so many delicious foods yesterday. Come and try some of my food today."
Wu Lazi sat down happily, took the chicken, pulled out a big chicken leg, and said, "Then I won't be polite?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's for eating, you can eat it."
Wu Lazi glanced at his brothers and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth.
The young master only has so much food, and she has a big appetite, so being able to spare a chicken for her is already a savings from her teeth. She can't be so tactful as to give the chicken to someone else.
The first bite made me realize that this roast chicken was different from the usual ones. "The meat tasted like a young chicken, not old at all, very tender!"
The chicken they usually eat has old meat, and tastes like chewing wood chips, but it is actually wood chips with chicken flavor.
Zhou Guo said: "This chicken is made from tender chickens that are a few months old, so it's naturally not dry."
Wu Lazi suddenly realized, "I thought, they are still little chicks for a few months, we can't bear to eat them like that, we have to keep them for laying eggs, and we can have more meat when they grow up."
Zhou Guo nodded, "That's right."
Most farmers are like this. Few of them are willing to eat chicks, even young roosters, before they grow up.
Chef Zhang's young apprentice nodded silently. Coming from a poor family, he felt that this was particularly true.
Chef Zhang at the side couldn't help but slap him and whispered, "What are you doing? Turn off your ears. The young master is talking, why are you butting in?"
The young apprentice nodded aggrievedly. Although he didn't know how to turn off his ears, he didn't dare to do anything else.
Chef Zhang thought of Xu Xiushan and felt that he was extremely lucky to be assigned to Zhou Guo. He had lived through so many bumpy days that he wanted to live a stable and solid life. Zhou Guo seemed to have a kind of power that could calm people's hearts.
He was approachable, kind, and almost like a friend. He had never met anyone like him before.
Even for Xu Xiushan, the aura of a superior cannot be ignored.
After the meal, the group started on their journey again.
They were all strong and healthy, and were either from the army, bandits, or soldiers. They walked fast. Zhou Guo and a few others rode horses, while the rest walked. By the evening, they had walked fifty or sixty miles after most of the day.
