With the assurance of the county magistrate, the Zhang family present was very happy, and in the future, people mentioned tofu and knew that it was spread from Baili Village, and the people in the village felt that it was a glorious lintel.

Shumin also breathed a sigh of relief, recently there have been more and more people who covet Fangzi openly and secretly, and because they are all in the township, they are not good enough to lose face too much, and they are about to collapse her. Whether in her previous life or in this life, she is not very good at dealing with these complex interpersonal relationships, fortunately there is Zhengxing's sister-in-law in the way, otherwise she will definitely throw out the way and run away.

Before dinner, the Zhang family set up a banquet. The county order was accompanied by Li Zheng's father and son and a few respected old people in the clan, and the meal was hot.

Shumin is a woman, so she opened a table with her aunt and several of her daughters and placed it in the backyard. The people who came were easy to get along with, and everyone had a great time.

After dinner, the prefectural magistrate took his leave, and while it was still dark, he planned to rush back to the city early. Jeongmin naturally went back with him, and before the day of rest, he had to go back to help the county order handle official business.

Li Zheng still took the villagers to send them to the entrance of the village, and watched them get into the carriage and leave before slowly dispersed.

On the carriage, the county magistrate's face was red, and the villagers toasted during dinner, and he drank a lot, but his expression was still sober:

"Master Zhang, this tofu matter will be handled by you, and I will draft a charter, hoping that before the year, all the people in Linjiang County can eat delicious tofu. The light in the carriage was a little dark, but the eyes of the ** were extremely bright.

"Yes, my lord" may have been infected by the pride of adults, and Zhang Zhengmin's heart also lit up with flames.

After the adults left, Shumin did not go home immediately, but followed Li Zheng to Zhang's house.

The Zhang family is very excited now, in recent years, how can there be a big man who has come to this poor country and drank at the same table with him, this is a matter of glory to the ancestors.

"The Zhang family is terrible in the future," someone said enviously.

"It seems that the next Lizheng is still the Zhang family" Li Shugen was a little disappointed, he was also one of the powerful candidates in the next Lizheng, but now he had to give it to the Zhang family. He sat in front of the hall very depressed, his face full of unwillingness. The two sons saw that his face was not good, so they ran out in a hurry after eating, for fear of becoming pond fish.

"Child, father, don't be angry, what can the Zhang family have, isn't it just that there is a son who is the master? At that time, it may not be worse than the Zhang family. Li Shugen's wife Zhao said.

The brother-in-law in her mouth is Li Shugen's cousin Li Shude, who has some fists and feet, and at the beginning of the year, he found a position in the yamen to catch fast. He is alert, and everyone in the clan praises that there will be great achievements in the future.

Li Shugen listened to what his wife said, his face was slightly better, and he said, "It's cold, you make a jacket for Shude, and I'll bring it to him when I enter the city another day." ”

Zhao knew in his heart, hurriedly responded, persuaded the roots of the tree a few more words, and went out to find the two naughty boys.

The Li Zheng family is brightly lit at the moment, and the people of the Zhang family are almost here, and they are ready to hold a clan meeting on the matter of tofu

"It's a good thing that the county magistrate wants to vigorously promote this tofu, this tofu is spread from our Baili Village, and it's a glorious thing to say!" Li Zheng is very happy, he has contributed a lot to this matter, and it can be regarded as a merit in the open and in the dark.

"This Qin family and our Zhang family are also related, but it's a pity" It was an elder of the Zhang family who spoke, and he looked at the old Zhang family squatting in the corner at this time, and sighed in his heart.

The old Zhang family's face turned red, and the matter had come to this point, and they could only stand up to everyone's eyes on the side.

"Who can say for sure about fate, I said that this is all the children's own creation. The Qin family is good, even if he leaves our Zhang family, but he still cares about this sentiment and lets our Zhang family take the lead in receiving this glory, we can't do something ungrateful. Another elder came out of the round.

Everyone nodded yes, only Lao Zhang's family lowered their heads and remained silent.

Lao Zhang is now remorseful in his heart, if he insisted on not separating at the beginning, then this glory belongs to Lao Zhang's family, and he has face wherever he goes, which is like now, as if he has done something wrong, and he doesn't dare to raise his head.

"The previous things have passed, now let's discuss the future, here I have something to discuss with you, and everyone will give some opinions after listening. Li Zheng came out at this time and made the purpose of today's village meeting clear to everyone

"I have already discussed with the Qin family, after the county commander starts to act, we will set up a tofu workshop in Baili Village, each family contributes according to the head, and the beans are also purchased from everyone according to the price of the beans, and the money earned from making tofu is divided into three parts: the village accounts for 20%, the Qin family occupies 20%, and the remaining 60% is distributed according to the head I don't know what everyone thinks?"

This is a good thing, not only will the beans be marketed, but they will also be able to share a lot of money, and if this continues, Baili Village will become the richest village in the vicinity.

As for Shumin's exclusive share, no one in the village has an opinion, after all, people could have made a fortune in silence, but they selflessly dedicated this secret recipe, and let the Zhang family get glory.

The Zhang family is too late to be grateful, so how can anyone object! The Zhang family is the surname of Baili Village, and the Zhang family protects them, and the rest of the villagers dare not have any opinions.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Li Zheng touched his beard and felt very comforted.

It wasn't until late at night that the Zhang family's clan meeting dispersed, and the news of opening a tofu workshop in the village had long been spread throughout the village by good deeds. The whole village was boiling.

The idea of opening a tofu workshop was proposed by Shumin, and she remembered that some modern rural enterprises seemed to be in this model, so she mentioned it to Li Zheng, who was sluggish on the spot, and said to Shumin after a long time, "You are very good, very good"

I want to be upright and prosperous back then, and when he became Lizheng, he was also full of pride and wanted to make some achievements. However, I found that in addition to arranging for the villagers to repair ditches and dig mountain roads, many things I wanted to do could not be done, and Baili Village was still Baili Village, just like when my father was there, relying on the meager income in the field, year after year. Now that he is old, but he has the opportunity to realize his ambitions back then, he really wants to look up to the sky and smile, but in the end he still held back, took a lantern, and said to Shumin: "Be careful on the road when it gets dark." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lizheng" Shumin took the lantern and turned around and walked in the direction of home, she was thinking that she would have to go to the city tomorrow, and the contract of the Drunken Wind Building was invalidated, so she had to say hello. Upstairs and upstairs, I have to talk about it, if Shopkeeper Liu is willing to cooperate with him, it is also a good market.

Looking at Shumin's distant back, Zhengshun said to Li Zheng

"Father, I finally understand what you mean, I will treat Hui'er Niang's affairs as my own in the future. ”

Li Zheng patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said repeatedly, "Good, good, good." ”

This child was deliberately left by his side to teach, ready to take over his own class. He was very relieved to have this realization.

Shumin was walking on the way home, and the road was a little slippery after just snowing. So she walked very carefully.

After lunch, I received a letter from Lizheng's family saying that the county magistrate was coming to see her, so I stayed at Lizheng's house early until now. The two children in the family were entrusted to Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, although the children had already slept, but seeing that Shumin did not come back, Zhengxing's daughter-in-law did not dare to leave.

"Oh, but I'm back, how about it, the county master didn't embarrass you, right?" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law saw Shumin coming back and immediately greeted her.

"How can it be, the county master is very talkative. Shumin remembered the county lord who seemed to be very talkative, and said to Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, "He doesn't have the county lord's frame at all, and I heard that he drank a lot of wine with the villagers during dinner!"

"Yo, that's rare, those officials on weekdays are too big, and we ordinary people can't take a look!" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law originally wanted to join in the fun, but when she heard that it was the county master, she was afraid that she would be imprisoned for the crime if she was not careful, so she volunteered to stay and help Shumin take care of the children. "I'm afraid I won't see you anymore. ”

"Haha, no, if you miss it, it will be difficult in the future. Seeing her suffering from gains and losses, Shumin deliberately "fell into the well"

"I knew I should have stood and looked at it from a distance. "Zhengxing's daughter-in-law regretted to death.

"By the way, Chunsheng came back today, and I hunted a lot of prey, including wild boars, shrubs, and yellow ridges, and I can't count them. He also left you a basket!" said Zhengxing's daughter-in-law.

A few days ago, Chunquan took a group of young students from the village into the mountains to hunt, and took advantage of the winter snow to do a good job, and then closed the mountain. If you want to hunt again, you will have to wait until next spring.

Shu Min saw that the box of prey left by Chun Quan was mostly some rabbit pheasant, Shu Min picked them up and found that there were still some things in the frame, like some kind of plant.

"It's actually a honey locust!" Shumin once asked Chunquan to keep an eye on the honey locust and help her pick some back if she came across it. But she didn't expect that Chunsheng in the middle of winter would be able to find this thing.

"What is this, can you eat it?" asked Zhengxing's daughter-in-law.

"It's not tasty, but it's very useful. Shumin said mysteriously, "When the time comes, you will like to keep it." ”

"What's the use, tell me about it?" asked Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, but Shumin deliberately ignored her and went into the house with a honey locust baby.

"This person, deliberately not let me feel comfortable!" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law likes gossip the most, but now she is curious but can't get an answer, and she is scratching in her heart.

"Hui'er Niang, what is the purpose?" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law followed up the house and pestered Shumin, "If you don't sue me, I won't leave." ”

"Brother Zhengxing seemed to be a little uncomfortable when the meeting ended, and he asked me to tell you to go back quickly" Shumin made up a lie.

"What's uncomfortable? Shouldn't it be freezing, it's so cold this day, I have to go back quickly." Zhengxing's daughter-in-law didn't suspect him, so she immediately became nervous, took the lantern and hurried back.

Shu Min looked at her panicked appearance and smiled evilly. I thought to myself, "When she knows that she will lie to her again, I don't know what the expression will be"

Now the two of them are like sisters, and it doesn't hurt to make a vulgar joke once in a while.
