patrol battalion.
"General, I found out the whereabouts of the little general." Liu Yun said to Ji Chengkang.
Ji Chengkang said with some joy: "Where did you go?"
Liu Yun said with some embarrassment: "In the middle of the night, I found the new county magistrate's office."
Ji Chengkang frowned, and said impatiently, "What are you doing there?"
Liu Yun smiled wryly, and said, "Maybe it's to step on the spot." Since ancient times, civil servants and military officials have been at odds. Ji Chengkang was supposed to work in the capital, but he was squeezed out by the civil servants in the court. Ji Yun'an followed Ji Chengkang since he was a child. Civil officials who only care about others also look down on them.
Liu Yun asked in the army, and found that several people in the barracks had talked about the new county magistrate a few days ago. Wanting to make amends from the people, Ji Yun'an was filled with righteous indignation, and immediately expressed that he would weigh the weight of the new county magistrate.
In fact, Ji Yunan had expressed to Liu Yun before that he wanted to find out the details of this new county magistrate, but Liu Yun only thought that Ji Yunan was a teenager and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunan was really serious. The sneaking past.
Ji Chengkang frowned and said, "It's getting more and more messy, how is it?"
Liu Yun frowned, and said: "The little general broke through the empty door and broke into the room of a little Shuang'er, and was detained. He will be sent to do coolies."
"Nonsense." Ji Chengkang said with a dark face.
Liu Yun smiled wryly, and said, "The little general probably didn't understand the situation, it wasn't on purpose."
"Are you okay?" Ji Chengkang asked.
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "It should be fine."
Ji Chengkang nodded, and said: "If it's okay, let him stay there first, this kid is getting more and more lawless, if there is a chance, let him temper his temper."
Liu Yun nodded, and said: "Okay, I heard that he was pushed to the ground by a little pair, and the rest is fine."
"Is there any movement from the new county magistrate?" Ji Chengkang asked.
"He called a few carpenters and blacksmiths there for some unknown purpose. Maybe he wanted to buy some furniture, tables and chairs. After the former county magistrate left, almost all the people and things in the county government were moved. " Liu Yun said.
Ji Chengkang gave a frightened smile and said, "This guy doesn't even inquire about it before buying an official. It's not easy to be an official in Sha County!"
Chen Maimai gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun and looked at Ji Yunan, and said, "Little ghost, you have been missing for five days, and no one seems to be looking for you, so you are not wanted anymore."
Ji Yunan said dissatisfied: "It's not."
Chen Xiaomai pouted and said, "It must be because of your bad conduct, that's why your adults don't want you. If you are as good as me, no one will want you."
Ji Yun'an looked at Chen Maimai, and thought to himself: This kid is so obedient, he doesn't look like a Shuang'er at all, but the county magistrate's family is worried that he will take advantage of this little Shuang'er.
"If your family doesn't want you anymore, it's good for you to grind the mill here every day." Chen Xiaomai's happy Dao Ji Yun'an frowned, thinking to himself: This little Shuang'er is so hateful that he wants to be here every day. As a white worker, Ji Yun'an suddenly had the urge to confess directly, his uncle is a lieutenant general of the patrol battalion, so he is not afraid of a county magistrate.
Ji Yun'an thought about it again, and felt that it was too shameful to be so frank, to lose both his own people and his uncle's.
Ji Yun'an was a little confused. He had been away from the camp for several days, but his uncle hadn't found him yet. Could it be that he didn't realize that he was missing? Ji Yunan gritted his teeth, feeling a little disappointed.
Chen Mai sat on a rocking chair, playing with a tiger puppet.
Ji Yunan rubbed his sore arm, a bit of bitterness appeared on his face.
Grinding is physical work, and Ji Yun'an feels that his hands and feet are hurting, and his whole body is uncomfortable.
Chen Xiaomai threw the tiger puppet into the air, and then reached out to catch it back. It was such a joy to play. When Lu Lin was selling the shop, he transferred all the dolls in the shop. Unwilling to lose their feelings, Lu Lin took them with him on the road.
Ji Yun'an looked at the doll in Chen Maimai's hand, and said, "Your doll is not bad."
Chen Xiaomai hugged the doll, gave Ji Yunan a sideways glance, bared her teeth, and said with a protective face: "Mine."
Ji Yun'an curled her lips and said, "What's yours is yours, I won't fight with you."
Chen Maimai said proudly, "Brother, you killed a tiger before."
"Lord county magistrate?" Ji Yun'an thought to himself: The magistrate, who only knows yellow and white things, has this ability? Could it be that this is a person who cannot be judged by his appearance.
Chen Mai shook his head and said, "No, it's the elder brother."
Ji Yun'an came to his senses, and thought: Is it the county magistrate's husband? I heard that the county magistrate is a strict wife.
"Brother, you are very powerful. Everyone in the village is afraid of him. I want to be like him." Chen Maimai said proudly.
Ji Yun'an: "..." A twin, it seems that there is nothing to be proud of being feared.
Yuan Bao wobbled over carrying a small wooden bucket, which contained a bucket of soybean milk. The small wooden bucket was very delicately made, looked like a toy, and contained limited soybean milk. The kid wobbled all the way and poured it out. Not a lot.
"Uncle, the soy milk in the kitchen is ready to drink."
Chen Mai stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Yuan Bao sat on the chair, looked at Ji Yun'an, and said in a childish voice: "You look like a human being, but you actually go out of your way to be a real person."
Yuan Bao smacked his lips, and said in a cadence, Yuan Bao is still young, this is not what he thought, but he heard it when Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin were talking, Yuan Bao was a little ignorant, but it didn't hinder him Rephrase the words.
Ji Yun'an was scolded by a little baby, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed, he didn't just walk out of nowhere, he came to see what kind of person the new county magistrate is.
"You don't learn well at such a young age." Yuan Bao shook his head and said again.
Ji Yun'an: "..." This milk bag is so small, it has the face to despise him for being young.
Chen Xiaomai walked out hurriedly carrying a large wooden barrel. Inside the large wooden barrel was a barrel of soybean milk.
Chen Xiaomai scooped up a bowl of soy milk for Ji Yunan, and said, "Eat."
Ji Yunan took a look at Chen Maimai, and saw that Chen Maimai took out a spoonful of sugar from his purse and put it in the soy milk. Ji Yunan curled his lips. Ji Yunan had drank soy milk many times in the past few days.
The taste of soy milk is not bad. Ji Yunan can imagine that the taste of soy milk with added sugar must be better. However, Chen Mai, an unreasonable little girl, is very stingy, and the soy milk he drank has too much sugar in it, and he doesn't give it away at all. he.
However, he is just a prisoner, and the other party should not give him sugar.
Yuan Bao held the drum and drank soy milk with a milk beard on his mouth.
Chen Mai took out the handkerchief and wiped Yuan Bao's mouth.
Ji Yun'an looked at Chen Maimai, and thought to himself: This little Shuang'er has a pretty good temper towards this brat, but she is very vicious towards him.
Ji Yunan looked at the carpenters in the yard and frowned. The carpenters have been busy working since they were summoned by Lu Lin, and they didn't know what they were doing. Among the carpenters, Ji Yunan saw Tian Zheng. Tian Zheng was originally a soldier beside his uncle, but after losing one eye, he left the barracks.
Ji Yun'an also couldn't figure out whether the other party recognized him, Ji Yun'an felt that the other party should be able to recognize him, but if the other party recognized him, he shouldn't be left alone.
Ji Yun'an glanced at Chen Maimai and said, "Are there any buns?"
Chen Mai pointed to the barrel of soy milk, and Ji Yunan couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness on his face. Although the soy milk tastes good, no matter how full you are, and if you drink too much, it will always taste a bit boring.
Ji Yun'an looked at Chen Maimai helplessly, and said, "Just eat this, don't care if you're full."
Chen Maimai glared at Ji Yunan, and Ji Yunan said in a nasty voice, "If you don't have enough to eat, you won't be able to move the millstone."
Chen Maimai puffed her cheeks, looked at Ji Yunan dissatisfied for a while, went to the kitchen to get a rice ball, and threw it to Ji Yunan.
Ji Yunan looked at the rice ball in his hand, took a bite, and was a little surprised to find that the rice ball was wrapped with bacon, and the sour radish sticks were also coated with some kind of sauce. It tasted very good.
Ji Yunan saw a lot of strange food in the county office for a few days, and thought to himself: This new county magistrate will quite enjoy being in this remote village, constantly tossing about all kinds of food.
Ji Yun'an would be lazy if he stole while eating.
Chen Maimai whirled and turned the millstone, and Ji Yunan frowned as he watched the little supervisor Chen Maimai show off his might.
Ji Yunan has been pushing the stone mill for the past few days, so he naturally knows how heavy the stone mill is.
Ji Yun'an originally thought that he was strong enough among his peers, but he didn't expect to be compared by a little pair. Chen Mai pushed the millstone and turned it around dozens of times, and finally ran to the side and sat down exhausted. down.
Yuan Bao clapped his hands and said, "Uncle is the best, uncle is the best."
Chen Xiaomai scratched his head and showed a shy smile.
Ji Yun'an looked at Chen Maimai, feeling a little strange in his heart.
When Ji Yun'an came, he always felt that the county magistrate was a wealthy businessman, and most of his family members were pampered, but after he came, he couldn't understand it.
At noon, Qin Lang arranged for several workers at home to eat.
Tofu is the most popular dish in the county yamen, and tofu can be eaten with soy sauce.
Lu Lin planned to open a tofu shop, and gave the tofu to a few people to try, and he also wanted to increase his popularity.
Within a few days, several workers discussed with Qin Yi that they should use tofu as wages.
Qin Yi nodded in agreement, a piece of tofu is worth a penny.
Qin Yi agreed to pay with his wages. There was a carpenter named Sun Zhengyi who didn't want a penny that day. He took away twenty-five yuan of tofu, which shocked Qin Yi. Eat it, the carpenter didn't take it seriously and said that he must eat it all.
"Zhengyi, you're back!"
Sun Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm back, and I brought back tofu."
"Tofu, is it the tofu made by the new county magistrate? Is it really as delicious as you said?"
Sun Zheng nodded and said, "Of course."
Sun Zhengyi went to work in the county yamen a few days ago, and after he came back, he couldn't help but talk about the good food in the county yamen. The villagers felt that he was bought by the new county magistrate, and didn't believe his words. Sun Zhengyi was furious enough.
Sun Zhengyi was helpless, so he discussed with Qin Yi to use tofu for his wages. Qin Yi agreed, and Sun Zhengyi replaced all his wages with tofu.
This Sun Zhengyi asked the mother-in-law in the family to boil more than half of the tofu according to the way Lu Lin's family made tofu. He invited a few friends to eat tofu at home, and everyone who had eaten it said it was good.
Lu Lin asked Chen Xiaocai to open a tofu shop next to the county government office, selling tofu and soy milk.
Chen Xiaolai originally felt that he was not used to doing nothing all day long, but as soon as this tofu shop opened, Chen Xiaocai became energetic.
The profit from selling tofu is very low, but at least it is a business, and Chen Xiaocai is very motivated to do it.
This piece of tofu sells for a penny, it's not easy to make a fortune." Shen Chi said that Shen Chi followed Chen Xiaolai back then, and a large doll sold for dozens of taels.
Chen Xiaocai scratched her hair and said, "Brother Lin said, the main purpose of our store is not to make money."
Shen Chi looked at Chen Xiaocai in confusion, and said, "It's not for making money, so why?"
Chen Xiaocai said helplessly: "Brother Lin said it was to improve people's livelihood."
Shen Chi asked in surprise: "Improve people's livelihood?"
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Brother Lin said that he is an official now, and he wants to benefit one party."
Shen Chi said puzzledly: "Opening a tofu shop will improve people's livelihood..."
Chen Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand what he said about liberating and developing productivity."
Chen Xiaocai's shop not only accepts copper coins, but also barters. If there are no copper coins, you can also exchange eggs for tofu. Often villagers exchange eggs for eggs. Although the profit is thin, there are many people who come and go.
