Chapter 340 Big Meat Bun
Copper coins fell down like a torrential rain, and those people became even more crazy. Countless hands were searching the bodies of several people from Lao Xu's family, trying to find all the copper coins they had hidden on them.
"Help! It hurts so much..."
"Shameless, where are you touching?"
"Let go, this is my purse, there's no copper in it..."
As the Xu family screamed, the people who were trying to grab the copper coins quickly scattered, leaving only a few people from the Xu family who were left crying without tears.
"Wuwuwu... Robbers! Bandits! Shameless..."
Xu Guihua gathered her torn collar, her eyes red with anger, and while cursing loudly, she looked fiercely at Xu Qinghe on the podium.
Those nasty men took advantage of the excuse of looking for copper coins to not only steal all the change she had saved with great effort, but also took advantage of her a lot.
It's all that damn Xu Laoer's fault. After getting some money, he doesn't know how to show it off. He even tries to imitate rich people and spends money lavishly. This has brought great harm to her whole family.
It is said that if you are not from the same family, you won’t enter the same door.
It was obvious that Xu Guihua was robbed and taken advantage of by those people, but she didn't hate them. Instead, she blamed Xu Qinghe for it.
As for the other members of the Xu family, they had almost the same idea as Xu Guihua.
Several people had been in Qin's yard these days, taking advantage of the public and saving for their own benefit. Although they were all small-scale activities, they did make some money. Now, after such a commotion, all the money was taken away by someone who took advantage of the situation.
Wow, this really proves the saying that your pockets are cleaner than your face.
After this chaos, the copper coins in the two large baskets were finally scattered. Everyone opened their eyes brightly and searched around on the ground, trying not to miss even a copper coin.
At this time, Yuxiu was standing on the steps and looking down. Except for those people from Old Xu's family, everyone else was happy. They had a lot of copper coins in their hands, and some even had a big bulge around their waists. It seemed that the harvest was indeed not small.
If you take this to the market to buy meat, you can buy a big piece, enough for the whole family to enjoy a good feast.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the people who had come to watch the excitement gradually dispersed. Yuxiu called Li Xiao and asked him to stop the people in the north of the city, and followed Zhang Dazhui to the Xu family's yard.
A lot of ingredients had already been prepared in the big kitchen today. After receiving Yuxiu's instructions, everyone started working together and soon got busy. By now, several baskets of hot buns and steamed buns had all come out of the pot.
Even though these people from the north of the city were very fierce outside, they immediately behaved themselves after entering the Xu family's yard.
I don't know who learned this from, but they stood in two rows on their own, with their heads half lowered, not daring to look around, just waiting for Xu Qinghe, the head of the family, to speak.
Of course, it would be great if we could be given some work to do, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t. Anyway, we have earned so many copper coins today and everyone is satisfied.
"I have taken up a lot of your time today, so I will make it short."
When Xu Qinghe came in, he saw that these people were standing obediently in the yard. He couldn't help but smile and signaled everyone not to be so restrained.
"It's a good thing you guys came over to help, otherwise I don't know how long these people would have been making trouble at the door. It makes me upset just thinking about it."
Xu Qinghe sighed, bowed to all the people in the north of the city as a token of gratitude, and arranged for the butler to stuff a purse into each of them.
"We've been busy all day, so I won't entertain you. Take this money and buy two pounds of meat. It's enough for the elderly and children at home to have a good meal."
Each purse contained two taels of silver, which was the Xu family's thanks for coming to help the Xu family today.
"Mr. Xu, you are so polite. We didn't help much. We have already picked up so many copper coins before. It seems a bit inappropriate to take more..."
"Yeah, we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so it's good to go out for a run..."
"If those people dare to come and cause trouble again, Master Xu doesn't have to indulge them..."
A group of people were a little embarrassed. They just took the few copper coins, but they could tell the money in the bag was just change. Even though they were big men who had to carry bags every day and work hard for a month, they couldn't get any change in return.
They were all honest and simple people. It was like they were taking things from the Xu family for free, so naturally they felt a little embarrassed.
"Since our master has given it all, there is no need to be polite. Just take it. I will ask for your help with something later."
Xu Qinghe gave Zhang Dazhu a look, and the other party stood up and gave him some advice.
Since that was what was said, these people stopped being shy and all thanked Xu Qinghe before happily putting the money bags into their pockets.
At this time, Yuxiu also came out with the people from the big kitchen, carrying out several baskets of fragrant white steamed buns.
"It just so happens that the mansion has made some noodles. We can't finish all of this. Everyone can take some back and share it with the children at home."
As Xu Qinghe spoke, he asked someone to bring a stack of oil paper and pick out all the buns and steamed buns and put them on.
There were more than thirty people from the north of the city, regardless of gender, age or status. The steamed buns were packed separately, with ten in each pack. In the end, they were distributed to everyone, with one pack of large white flour steamed buns and one pack of large meat buns.
After the distribution, there were still a lot of things left in the basket. They were all big meat buns with thin skin and large fillings. Xu Qinghe asked everyone present to take them and eat them directly.
Everyone was a little embarrassed at first, but Yuxiu first took one for Li Xiao’s mother, Lin, and then she took one and started eating.
"Everyone, please feel free to take it and eat it while it's still hot."
Xu Qinghe smiled, and followed Uncle Cui, each reaching out for a bun, and started eating while standing aside.
In fact, everyone had already been hungry after smelling the fragrance, and now they were no longer polite. Whether they were servants in the mansion or those who came to help from the north of the city, they all crowded forward and started to eat a big bun.
If these people in the north of the city had received these big white flour buns on normal days, they would definitely be reluctant to eat them themselves, but now that everyone has received so much, it is enough to take back for their families, so they no longer think about saving it to take back for the elderly and children.
