Chapter 91: Come here to change meal the next day

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were called, and they went quickly and came back quickly. Zhang’s father asked a few things, and they answered selectively, but did not say anything substantial. The main reason was that Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that he would say too much, so his father thought about other things all day long and had no energy to study. Even if he was looking for someone in the imperial examination, he had to have real talent and knowledge of learning.

The snacks were also brought back. They were made by the two of them, and they usually gave some to the people in the yard.

"I made money, and now I made money. This year, the whole county has been designated as a disaster. It will reduce production by half. There is no need to pay taxes or take out additional sacred silk. It only takes some labor and only takes dozens of days. I will discuss with Gejiazhuangzi and ask the county magistrate to repair the river on our side.

Using your own people to repair things, it is considered to be a workload every year. You can also get some project payments and other things. You can build the river wider and you can't occupy fertile land. If you leave, you can eat beef bone marrow and it's fresh."

Zhang Xiaobao felt happy that he had helped the family do something big, and he jumped towards the kitchen like a child while saying that.

Wang Juan stood there for two seconds and ran over, "Don't think about the project payment, repair the river well. If you encounter heavy flood tomorrow, you can't fool your home. The money you allocated may not be so much. If you take it down layer by layer, you won't be left with too much."

The two discussed how much money they could be allocated this time? How much money could the County Magistrate Cheng put here, and what to do with the river. He went to the kitchen one after another. Someone had already taken out a few bone marrows and placed it on a plate for the two little ancestors to eat.

The cow fell to death, so he asked someone to check it out. Qi Li was coming with the old man Feng. When he saw a yamen runner in the yamen, he looked at the cow again. He was sure that the cow was indeed killed. He took two kilograms of beef given to the farm alone and left happily.

When the yamen runner left, he also brought the cow head and a half fan of beef. When he went back, he could cook some beef soup. Knowing that his wife was pregnant, he also got him half a hoof tendon and asked him to take it back for food. It would be better if he chewed it when he was disgusting.

When the yamen runner took the things, his eyes turned red. He left a message before leaving, and he called out when he said something. He brought his brothers to help. He would come over to kill the cow in the future and prove that even if his neck was accidentally dropped on the knife, it would be considered.

The remaining meat was taken back to the main yard and sent some to the Wang family. The people in the inner yard ate a meal of beef stewed with radish. The meat was less, and the radish was enough. The beef bones were left by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. There were other meats, frozen and occasionally made a meal for the family.

"Young master, do you think these bone marrows are enough?" When the people in the kitchen saw the two little ancestors coming, they put all the knives in their hands and watched the stove. A man who specialized in the kitchen brought the plate to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and asked respectfully.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the plate and found that there were six bone marrows of different lengths and thicknesses. He nodded, "Well, okay, enough, enough for Juanjuan and me to eat. Is this just cooked? Make more, put it in a pot and steam it, mix it with broth, add less salt, add some chopped green onion and coriander, and deliver it to my and Wang family owners. Oh, I remember not to add coriander if there is a bowl. My grandma doesn't like it, cut some ginger foam, and grandma likes to eat that bite."

The person in charge of the kitchen immediately went to make arrangements, and at the same time sighed that his grandson was two years old and he kept pestering his family to ask for this and that all day long. He never said that he would give his family a taste of what he wanted. Then he looked at the young master and the young lady. He thought about his family if he had some good things. He even remembered the old lady's usual mouthful, which was unparalleled.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had eaten bone marrow at noon and took a nap, Zhou Yu had already arrived at Qinjia Village and came back even more anxious, for fear that those people would find out that he had left, so they would have to talk more at that time.

As the yamen runners waiting outside the mountain and entered the village in silence, County Magistrate Cheng immediately came over, arranged a rest place, and sent food to someone.

The officials who were still working here were exhausted and exhausted, and there was no place for them to be sore. They didn't pick on each other when they were having dinner last night, and they ate whatever they were given. They were also scattered at home when they went to bed at night. Until now, they didn't know that there was one less person working.

The two ministers did easy things, and they walked around together, and from time to time they gave advice on the villagers what to plant, especially the minister of the Ministry of Works, who also helped the people in the village draw a picture of a tube truck, so that they could do this and make it easier to get water from the water bubbles in the future.

They naturally had better food. At noon today, they actually ate two meats, one vegetable, and three dishes, and one soup. They didn't see the military officers from the state for more than a day. They also asked, and the reply they received was to arrange for other things.

Zhou Yu came back and talked to County Magistrate Cheng first. The yamen runners were not in a hurry to show up, so they asked the officials to do more work. They would be tired and save some trouble. The yamen runners understood that those officials had been walking for so long and were tired enough. They would have a good rest the next day and may have recovered a lot.

But I worked for another day the next day, and it must be sore and painful. If I worked for a few more days in a row, I might get used to it. But if I did it for another day today and walked back tomorrow, I wouldn’t have to think about it. At that time, maybe I could only feed it and I couldn’t even lift my arms.

"Mr. Zhou, have you settled the matter this time?" County Magistrate Cheng gave way to Zhou Yu, poured the warm wine on, and pushed the wine bowl in front of Zhou Yu.

"Well, there are two small things, one is Xiaohu's business. I don't care about this, Xiaohu will do it with it. The other is that they want to build a restaurant on the river. When there is no water, go and take a look and help support the scene. The last thing you need to help Cheng County Magistrate."

Zhou Yu was really tired and thirsty. After picking up the bowl and saying these words, he raised his head and drank a bowl, breathing a lot, and then he felt comfortable.

County Magistrate Cheng helped pour the wine over and asked, "I don't know what I want to help? Could it be that this year's disaster is tax-free? This is a trivial matter, and this county is indeed affected by the disaster."

"It's not this. I'm waiting for you to follow me in summer and autumn, or in Taihang Shandong, or Henan. The droughts in the two places and around are more severe than here. There may be locust plagues. Zhangjiazhuang has prepared a lot of food to come and rescue, and some chickens and ducks are also sent to eat locusts.

In this way, the fiefs of the hundred households will be kept. Then you will have a preface and I will have one too. Two auspiciousness, the curved plow, and your actions to comfort the people during the Chinese New Year will have won you a lot of praise. However, if you want to arrange a good position, it is a little worse than that, this time you go with me, and your political achievements may be enough. Maybe you will be higher than my grade by then."

Zhou Zuo said enviously that he is helping County Magistrate Cheng, and then the people from Zhangjiazhuang will also help him. Even if he had helped him so much last night, it was actually a change of the position of prime minister above. If someone else said this, he would naturally not believe it, but when he saw the things done by the two masters, he had to keep this in mind.

County Magistrate Cheng understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that what he was doing there was this plan. No wonder he helped him to delay it until summer and autumn. This is a great contribution. No matter who took out the food then, as long as he could still come out in Sanshui County, he would have to count his portion.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for telling me. I just don't know who will be sent to take charge of the matter this time? If I can say a few words at that time, I will be more secure. I wonder what those two masters look like?"

County Magistrate Cheng is now envious of Zhou Yu. He can actually meet those two masters. This is an opportunity.

Zhou Zuo shook his head helplessly, "I didn't see that either. Those two are really amazing. Before I could say I would meet, I sent someone to solve my doubts in my heart during the meal. I can really calculate and do not talk about anything else. As long as I remember, this time when summer and autumn are over, don't get too close to the right prime minister, and be a good official."

"So, Yao... is going to retire after success?" County Magistrate Cheng was shocked. He was a little confused. Why did the man who could still get the trust from the superiors? He had some doubts in his heart.

Suddenly, I thought that the two masters of Zhangjiazhuang did not tell him that they were talking to Zhou Yu and had nothing to do with him. In this way, they thought that his position was too low and did not know the need for this matter. If they were not doing it well, it would be like this. You should be careful.

When County Magistrate Cheng wanted to ask some more things, he found that Zhou Yu had already eaten there, so he had to suppress the questions in his heart and prepare to accompany him to help the disaster relief.

The two chatted for a few more times. After dinner, Zhou Yu lay down and rested. County Magistrate Cheng left tactfully. When it was almost evening, he found Qin Cunzheng and whispered a few words.

The officials who had been working for two days were called together when they were dragging their tired bodies to eat. Suddenly, they found that the food on the table had changed. They were no longer the hard-to-swallow rice dumplings, but actually a small vegetable box. No wonder they smelled so fragrant just now.

There were too many vegetables, and the bitter and astringent pickles were gone. They were replaced with three dishes, stir-fried with mushrooms, stir-fried with green onions, steamed radish and sauce, and a bowl of wild vegetable soup with a lot of oil and flowers. This is not such a bitter wild vegetable, but cat ears, also called Qingming grass, a small vegetable box and the soup made of this cat ear, tastes very tender.

The officials sat there one by one but did not dare to move their chopsticks, for fear that these people would not be at ease.
