Chapter 248 Visiting the New Ancestral Hall in Dayang Village
Chapter 248 Visiting the New Ancestral Hall in Dayang Village
If the government officials get angry, they might implicate other people in the village.
After all, it is related to the official hat.
If you don't want me to keep this position, I won't let you go easily.
However, this contract is only the last layer of protection.
Before this, everyone was willing to do business as long as they could do so with government officials.
The officialdom of Jiangzhou is clean to begin with, and the people of Jiangzhou Prefecture also feel a sense of belonging in their hearts.
Being able to get business from the government, the money would naturally be considerable, and the government in Jiangzhou rarely defaulted on payments.
Moreover, this job is simple and you don’t have to rely on others’ opinions.
As long as you work hard, you will have money.
Such a good job is something you can only come across by chance.
It's just a confidentiality agreement, just keep quiet, it won't be a big deal in an instant.
"But... can these potatoes really be eaten?"
In the bustling crowd, someone asked a question, interrupting the excitement.
The atmosphere suddenly became unusually calm.
Village chief Yang deliberately let the peace last a little longer before coming out to uphold justice.
"My Lords, you have all come from afar. Dayang Village will prepare some light wine and a potato feast in the ancestral hall at noon today."
Village chief Yang pointed to the ancestral hall and private school not far away, which carried the hopes of the villagers of Dayang Village.
Now, it has become the dream of everyone who comes to Dayang Village.
Village chief Yang looked at everyone's eyes fixed on the ancestral hall of Dayang Village, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, and his voice suddenly became deep.
"Just now, the villagers have transported the potatoes over. I think they will be cooking soon. If you are interested, you can come and have a look!"
Wen Zhao was a little tempted and wanted to observe the potato-making process himself, so he glanced at Lord Yu.
But Lord Yu’s attention was not here.
Now that the existence of high-yield grain has been confirmed, the procurement work must begin.
"Lord Yu, there is a thatched hut near my house. It was built temporarily before. If you don't mind, you can set up the purchasing area there!" Bai Qingyun looked at Lord Yu who was a little confused, and stepped forward to remind him considerately.
The purchasing work cannot be completed in a day or two. The adults who are responsible for weighing, paying money, and arranging transportation all need a fixed venue.
Long-term work requires a place that is sheltered from wind and rain.
The place Bai Qingyun was pointing to was the temporary stove and dining area that the Bai family built when they built the house.
Workers used to rest there often. The venue is large enough and there are some basic facilities that have not been dismantled.
It saves a lot of trouble.
After seeing this, Lord Yu also bowed to Bai Qingyun with satisfaction: "Thank you, Miss Bai."
The tone was respectful, not at all like he was treating a strange little girl who had not yet reached marriageable age.
It seems that Wen Zhao told her about Bai Qingyun.
Bai Qingyun responded: "It will take some time to clean up here. My Lord, you can also go to the ancestral hall with the others to see how to cook these potatoes."
Bai Qingyun looked carefully and found that the people brought by Lord Yu were all good. Even if they were not there, they could still arrange things in an orderly manner.
Once the location is determined, the purchasing area and shipping area can be quickly divided.
The two areas are divided into two sides, which not only saves trouble, but also can effectively separate and improve efficiency.
Lord Yu stayed for a while, and seeing that nothing was wrong, he turned around to look for Lord Wen.
It was not until Lord Wen and Lord Yu set off that the other lords of lower ranks could not wait to follow, having also been waiting for a long time.
In the kitchen of the Dayang Village ancestral hall.
"Aunt Niu, look at how excited those adults are when they see Potato. It makes me, an old woman, so happy!"
Aunt Yang peeled the potatoes quickly with her hands. Her movements were so fast that they were chatting about family matters without interrupting them at all.
Aunt Niu washed the peeled potatoes one by one and put them into the basket to drain the water. When she heard Aunt Yang's words, she slid the potatoes in her hand back into the basin.
Seeing this, Aunt Niu held onto the edge of the basin and said with a smile, "Yeah, you don't know, that old man was so excited that he pulled out several strands of his white beard!"
The old county magistrate outside the house gradually lowered his head with a sense of inferiority under the "concerned" gazes of his colleagues.
Village Chief Yang wanted to step forward and remind them when he saw this, but Lord Wen raised his hand to stop him.
Seeing that the adults looked normal, Village Chief Yang could only bite the bullet and continue to listen.
There's no way, I have a smile on my face right now.
Maybe if you remind yourself, you will be angry later.
Village chief Yang could only pray anxiously that the people in the house would be more merciful with their words!
But the people in the room didn't notice anything.
When Aunt Yang saw that the potatoes in the basin were almost peeled, she poured another large basin in and continued to talk busily.
"Aunt Niu, don't tell me, I thought those adults were always like gods, and we usually don't dare to get too close to them."
Aunt Niu nodded in agreement: "That's right, let alone getting close to them, if we see them normally, we will avoid them if possible."
"But today, these adults are really..." Aunt Niu said halfway, looking unhappy and asked, "How do you say that word?"
"I love the people like my own children!" Aunt Yang answered proudly and threw the peeled potatoes in her hand into the basin in front of Aunt Niu.
The splashes of water were higher than the previous times.
Aunt Niu rarely said, "Yes, yes, it has to be your daughter. She can learn to read in the Bai family, so you can learn it too!"
"That's because Bai girl likes it!" Aunt Yang said modestly, but she did not hide her happiness for her daughter.
"However, it is true that these gentlemen love the people like their own children."
"Normally, we can't imagine seeing adults working in the fields!"
Aunt Yang was still reminiscing, thinking about the hard-working old county magistrate again in her mind.
There were also adults who came to see Aunt Niu’s land, and they all had a lot of experience in answering questions.
"When we go to other villages in the future, can we also say that we have worked in the fields with the high officials?"
Wen Zhao was attracted by their conversation and couldn't help interrupting: "Hahaha, the potatoes from Dayang Village can't be easily told to outsiders now."
Then he walked into the kitchen with a group of officials.
Village chief Yang took a deep breath and said: Fortunately, nothing serious happened!
Wen Zhao's words startled the people who were chatting in groups of three or four.
The center of this topic, without exception, is the adults present here.
Now that the protagonist of this topic has arrived, everyone feels like someone is saying bad things behind their back.
He immediately stopped talking.
Aunt Yang was the first to react and apologized to Wen Zhao: "Please forgive me, sir. We were just chatting among ladies and had no intention of offending you."
The others also reacted one after another, bowing and apologizing in groups of three or four.
But Wen Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, what you said makes sense!"
Those present were not really free to take the idle talk of a few women and use it as an argument in court.
