After half a day, Zhang Hezi happily left the cell and became a glorious servant in Huayuan County. Xiao Xiancheng also came out. He looked up at the night sky after the rain stopped, and said to a servant next to him: "I want to ask. Ask Zhang Zhong, which seal is fake?"
The government officer didn't know, and turned to look at the guard. The guard had already obtained the signing document he wanted to obtain, and the evidence was sufficient. He smiled at Xiao Chi and said, "Where is it true? Where is it fake? With Shen Yuan, didn’t you ask the adults why they didn’t give the seal to others? You made a mistake. Look, I am."
While the guard was talking, he took out a print from his arms and turned the bottom over for two people to see. The seal of Huayuan county magistrate was written on it.
"Let's go, don't be silly, I have scammed Lao Tzu's money, I will copy your house." Zhang Hezi gave Xiao Xian Cheng a little bit about to understand, and pushed him vigorously.
"Hmph, let you be a government servant, Zhang Zhong will just wait for something to happen." Xiao Chi said with a sneer there.
Zhang Hezi pushed him again. "Fart, I have done bad things before, and that only pits a few people. People like you who pit the people of a county can be the county chief. Why can’t I be a servant? Don’t you I'm dead, I will do things well from now on, and I will see you when that time comes."
That night, countless bureaucrats surrounded the Xiao family group. There was still a lot of money in it. They could not be taken away. The county prime minister did something wrong, and the county magistrate did not have the power to ransack his home. This can only be reported. After that, it’s up to the top to decide.
Zhang Zhong finally put down all his worries today, and only waited for the money to arrive, and began to carry out civil engineering work in the entire Huayuan County, and to carry out infrastructure construction on the roads in the county and some residential houses.
In this way, we can help the people get some money, plus the food bought by Zhan Copywriting, so that the people can easily wait until the autumn harvest. People who have no labor at home can directly give things away, which is regarded as the welfare of Huayuan County. Don't let people starve to death.
As for those business matters, except for the shops at the foot of the mountain to be repaired, everything else is left alone, waiting for foreign businessmen to invest themselves.
Feeling the coolness after the rain, Zhang Zhong is still going to return to Jin Lai Tower today to have a meal with his son and daughter-in-law, and then go to the mountain to take a look.
As soon as he came outside the courtyard where Zhang Xiaobao was, a gust of fragrance blew out from the open door. Zhang Zhong sniffed and walked directly to the kitchen. At the door, he saw his son and daughter-in-law sitting there. There is a pot in the middle of the two people, and the pot is filled with stuffing.
Two people each held a small bamboo slice in their hands, and the other hand took the noodles placed there, scooped the small bamboo slices into the filling, rubbed the noodles, and moved their hands slightly to wrap a wonton.
There is soup in the pot, waiting for the wonton to be cooked, and there are coriander, sesame oil, green onion, mustard, seaweed, and dried shrimp next to it. It seems that they are all prepared for the wonton.
"Father, are you back? How much money did you swindle? Oh, how much money did you make?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard Zhang Zhong's footsteps this time, and Zhang Xiaobao turned to ask.
"80,000 Kan, how about it?" Zhang Zhong was pleased, and pointed to the various things and asked: "These are all for eating wontons?"
"It's a little bit more, but less is better. Now they should feel distressed. Dad, take this money out of the thousands and build some buildings around the shops or warehouses built by their merchants. Wait. They have completed the repairs, and are cooperating with them. We must let other businessmen know that our Huayuan County is the place that values them the most."
Zhang Xiaobao was afraid of the merchants who wanted to come from other places. Knowing this situation, Zhang Xiaobao was too frightened to come.
He wrapped another wonton, and Zhang Xiaobao pointed to those things and said, "Father, the preparations were too hastily. There should be something else. The wontons made by my child are different from other foods. They don’t contain salt. Put mustard in the bottom of the bowl.
This is pork and shrimp stuffing. It must be fresh, so the boy uses scallops, fish and lamb bones to make a soup, and then mix it with chicken minced meat. You have to wait half an hour before putting seaweed and shrimp on it. There are a few others.
I made it in a hurry today. I didn’t make any pickles. There are also vinegar and soy sauce. You can put whatever you like. Dad, wait for next time. Next time, I will prepare something for you and make a few more for you. . "
Listening to what his son said, Zhang Zhong sighed in his heart. After such preparation, he said that he was not enough. If he was prepared, how much would a meal of wonton cost? Eat a big bowl of wontons with two pennies outside, and boil them directly in boiling water. Who will make the soup for you, you will need to adjust it after it's done.
There are no restaurants in the Zhang family. It seems that the son and daughter-in-law left all the good things for themselves.
"Well, wait for those merchants to finish repairing the place, you can say what to do."
Zhang Zhong agreed, sniffed twice, swallowed, turned and left, and went to the restaurant to wait.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaobao carried three bowls of wontons, one big and two small, and the soup that was about to overflow the rim of the bowl was not spilled, and Zhang Xiaobao didn't go too slowly.
Zhang Zhong took one dipped in jealousy and one dipped in soy sauce. When he looked up, his son and daughter-in-law didn’t touch anything. They scooped a wonton with a spoon and ate it with soup. He also learned to eat one. Sure enough, it's not the same.
These two little guys, before they said that, brought themselves vinegar and soy sauce, they didn't eat it.
The three happily had dinner. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were about to go to the mountain, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan followed along with a bag on their backs.
"What are you two doing?" When Zhang Zhong walked to the gate of the courtyard, the shadows from the lights in the room made him realize that his son and daughter-in-law were following. They were walking silently? It feels like it's floating over suddenly.
"Father, since eating ginseng, the child hasn't been unconscious, so he just went for a stroll." Zhang Xiaobao stood up straight and took two steps before he could hear the footsteps.
When the child of another family said so, the adult absolutely disagrees, but Zhang Zhong is an exception, nodding: "Be careful when the time comes. You will dig and pad it, don't fall into the pit."
The three people walked out of the yard, and the guards came over. They saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and they led an extra horse. They knew that these two little guys could ride horses and their riding skills were not bad. They were also staring at them. , I want to see the style of two people working together in succession.
But Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't plan to do that at all, they opened their arms and let Zhang Zhong hug them one by one.
Disappointed by the guards, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I'm in front this time, and I'm not running fast."
The speed of the team is indeed not too fast, much slower than Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan when they flew back to Zhuangzi. An hour later, the team reached the foot of the mountain. Just as Zhang Zhong thought, the people were still doing it. To live, even some older children, under the shining of torches, dragged the baskets filled with mud and transported them elsewhere.
The younger children have the same small torches in their hands, which illuminates the adults close by, and there are many such torches next to them, and they will need to be replaced after a while.
Those old people who can't do kinetic work get together, chatting and weaving baskets with the teng strips cut from the mountain, so that they can be used to hold dirt.
Vegetables are still stewed in the pot, and the cooks knead the brown rice, noodles, and wild vegetables together and send them to the pot for steaming.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan grabbed the reins and slipped off their horses, holding hands and strolling around these cooking places. Looking at the vegetable dumplings, Zhang Xiaobao frowned, and then went to the pot to smell the stew inside, and said to Wang Juan: " The stewed vegetables are not bad, but there is meat in it, so the rice is a bit wrong."
“Of course it’s not as good as the wontons we make ourselves, but for others, it’s already good. It’s the ability to make food from normal workers into something that the family can eat.”
Wang Juan looked at the children who were helping out, and felt uncomfortable. It is impossible for such a thing to happen on the Zhangwang Family Zhuangzi, but looking at the smiles on the faces of those people, it seems that this is already very good. This expression is not pretended.
Zhang Xiaobao took Wang Juan and walked away again, and found that there were no other dishes, just a stew. When I wanted to come, I also put a lot of wild vegetables in it. Zhang Xiaobao thought that this kind of wild vegetables was still good, but he always felt that something was wrong. Suddenly , Zhang Xiaobao stopped and said to Wang Juan:
"I see, look at the children, do you think it is a shortcoming? What is missing? Look at the necks of a few children."
"I see, it seems a bit thicker than normal. They are short of iodine. Then you have to find a way quickly, otherwise it will affect your intelligence. There are still some dried kelp in the house that people can get back quickly. This thing seems to be lacking. Ah, do you have a way to make iodized salt?"
Wang Juan also noticed that it was dark and there were only torches. It was not obvious at first glance. Now it is different if you look at it carefully. There are several teenagers whose necks are obviously thicker than those of the same child.
"I have the ability to make iodized salt, so I can do a lot. The fish on the beach is not valuable, and the kelp is not valuable. In the future, I have to send someone to buy it at the beach instead of waiting for the ship to be built. Just let the boat go, walk close to the beach, find some local fishermen as guides, bypass the reefs, and dry the seafood, which can reduce the volume a lot."
Zhang Xiaobao began to wonder how to make people in Northland like to eat fish, especially the things in the sea. Iodine deficiency is really disgusting. Everything else is easy to say, but it affects the intelligence and makes people unbearable.
Wang Juan also agrees with Zhang Xiaobao's plan. It is not a world-minded plan. He has seen it and clearly has a way.
It was difficult for two people to directly order someone in front of so many people, so they had to go to Zhang Zhong. At this time, Zhang Zhong also fired a torch to illuminate others.
