"Do you really have a way to restore this village to what it used to be?" asked Lao Lizheng excitedly, he originally wanted to come to the door to thank Shumin, but after lunch, he thought about it and wanted Shumin to say something, he felt that he had really been too stubborn in the past few years, so he planned to come over and thank her. I didn't expect to hear her conversation with Cheng Sheng.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Shumin asked in surprise.

"Do you really have a way to restore this village to what it used to be?" asked Lao Lizheng excitedly again.

"Sit down. Shu Min saw that his face was flushed and his blood was surging, he was afraid that he had high blood pressure in the mouth of people in his previous life, so he didn't dare to provoke him, and wanted him to sit down first, talking to him slowly.

"You sue me first, I" Lao Lizheng's stubborn temper came up, his son had left here a long time ago, and he had persuaded him to leave, but he just had the idea of making the village as prosperous as before, and he refused to leave. Even the memories of the past that he refused to extricate himself from his desire to restore the prosperity of the village.

Over the years, he sent one group of people out to explore the land, but gradually there was no news, and he thought that was the end of it. Who knew that this Qin clan would actually do it.

The Qin family can even make tofu, and the method she thinks of is certainly feasible.

His heart was full of anticipation for her.

"Uncle, you drink water first, drink saliva and then listen to me tell you slowly. Shumin brought a bowl of water to the side, and the old man took a few sips.

Seeing that the old man's expression was much more normal, Shu Min said: "I have only thought of this idea for a long time, and I don't know if it is feasible yet." ”

"Whatever it is. We're all willing to give it a try. The old man's tone was affirmative.

"Actually, this method is also related to the kiln factory, and I am doing something new. If the experiment is successful, I think your kiln is the most suitable place to produce. When the time comes. If you ship that thing out and sell it, Washan Township will be able to prosper. As for what was new, Shumin didn't say.

"How is that thing better than tofu?" asked Lao Li with an earnest gaze.

"Better than tofu. Shumin replied, looking at him in the affirmative.

"Great, you made it, but it must be placed in our Washan Village. Lao Lizheng said excitedly. Baili Village has built a tofu base, and this matter has long been spread to Shili and Eight Townships, even other counties have long heard of it. Envy of the village on the side.

"I promise you. I promise to put that new thing with you. Shumin promised. After walking so many places, this is the most suitable place to make soy sauce: a large open space, plenty of sunshine, there are no tall vegetation in the way, plus there are things you need here, it is perfect!

"Okay, okay, then I'll thank you in advance. Lao Li was about to kneel down as he spoke, and this really jumped Shumin and the others. Hurriedly grabbed him.

With Shumin's assurance, Lizheng is much more down-to-earth and walks much more steadily.

Washan Township is the last township, after today. Shumin can go home. She misses Hui'er so much, she misses Feng'an, and the tofu in Baili Village. Did Liu Zikai add another order later, and Chunquan. Have you built your own house?

Thinking of that house, Shumin is full of anticipation.

There are at least two days to go from Washan Township to Linjiang Township. Shumin and his gang are like arrows, non-stop. During the night, the group stayed overnight in a nearby township, and the next morning, the group began another day of non-stop bumps.

"Ouch, my waist. "One day I will remodel this carriage well, who designed it, this man sits on the axle wheel, can it not be bumpy?!

After two days of driving, the horses were tired of running, and finally returned to Linjiang Town in the evening.

As soon as he arrived in Linjiang Town, this familiar breath came to his nose, Shumin jumped out of the carriage, rose up, inhaled hard and said, "The air here still smells comfortable." ”

"Are we going straight back to the village?" asked Da Li.

"I may have to go with them to the Yamen handover, what do you two want to arrange?" Shumin asked them.

"I'd better go back to the village first. Da Li said that she had been away from home for too long, and she was so homesick.

"I'd better go to the yamen. When he said this, Xiao Li blushed. She and Jeongmin have been getting together less and leaving more, and finally had the opportunity to fake the public and private, how could she let it go.

"Then I'll go back first. Seeing that there was an ox cart at the intersection that was returning to Baili Village, Da Li hurriedly climbed up and waved goodbye to Shumin and them.

Shu Min couldn't help but smile when he saw her anxious appearance. Along the way, Da Li nagged about things at home, she was just a woman in his family, how a group of big men could live their lives, she had already turned from schadenfreude at the beginning to a strong worry.

Seeing that the big Li family had left, Shu Min and the little Li family followed Shude and Cheng Sheng to the yamen.

The county magistrate didn't expect them to come back today, and it was a little incredible to hear the report from his subordinates.

This time the tofu gave him a face, and when he was in Fucheng, the prefect praised him well among his colleagues. In addition, his secret report was also presented to Kyoto, and the person in the Imperial Palace praised him very much. This transfer is to be able to return to Beijing.

"Qin woman, you are finally back, how are you doing along the way?" Lord Zheng led the people from the yamen to greet him, and the momentum made Shu Min jump. It seems that this Lord Zheng also likes pomp and circumstance.

"Lord Xie cares, we have a smooth journey, and we finally don't accept what adults want. Shumin was about to salute, but was stopped by Lord Zheng raising his hand. Shu Min had no choice but to turn sideways slightly and make a half-salute.

"I'll set up a banquet for you upstairs, celebrate, let's go, let's go!" After the county order finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked side by side with Shumin, which made Shumin jump, and quickly slowed down and walked behind the county commander.

The prefectural magistrate didn't feel anything, and walked at the forefront with his head held high.

Xiao Li took the opportunity to go to Jeong-min, and Jeong-min did not shy away from it, taking her hand and following Shumin and them.

Upstairs, Liu Zikai arrived early in the morning, and immediately led all the subordinates to wait at the door. Shu Min was behind, and he saw Liu Zikai at first sight, he bowed and bowed, like a shopkeeper.

It was the first time Shu Min saw him like this, and pursed his lips and snickered.

Of course, Liu Zikai also saw Shumin for the first time, but unfortunately the occasion was wrong, he only said hello to her slightly, and led the county order and his party to the private room upstairs.

Upstairs is one of the best restaurants in Linjiang Town, not to mention the lobby, this private room layout is exquisite but does not lose the atmosphere, the interior of the carving is simple, antiques calligraphy and paintings are all boutique. I was dazzled by Shumin.

"Qin woman, come, you sit here. The county magistrate said, pointing to a spot next to him. The ancients were very particular about eating, and under normal circumstances, women did not serve at the table, but Shumin not only offered the tofu recipe this time, but also personally went to the townships to teach, which is really a great achievement, and an exception can be made. Xiao Li's family naturally followed suit. But even when it comes to eating, women can only sit in the lower position.

Here, the county order is the largest, he is naturally sitting at the top, and the position next to him should be Zhengming and Tai Po Tou Huang Zhutou, Huang Zhutou has already sat down, so isn't the position of the county commander referring to Zhengmin?

"Lord Xie, the women should sit down. Shumin hurriedly excused himself.

"Woman Qin, you just listen to the adults, just sit with my wife. Jeongmin saw Shumin's concerns, and hurriedly persuaded her not to be polite, so he found a seat next to Xiao Li to sit down.

Shu Min didn't want to excuse himself anymore, otherwise he really didn't know what to do, so he sat down generously, picked up the tea and drank it.

"Qin woman, this line of work is quite smooth, I heard that you have been sick. The prefectural commander seemed to be normal, and he was with Shumin.

"The blessing of the Lord, a qiē is smooth. Shumin replied. Although I have encountered some dangers and difficulties on the way, I can only swallow those by myself, how can I take them out and tell the county order. However, the situation of each village should be reflected.

Shumin picked up some and said it to the adults. The prefectural magistrate nodded as he listened, but he listened very carefully.

"The situation in the east is fine, but in the west, alas, it is too poor. When Shumin talked about the west, he couldn't help but say his thoughts.

"The land in the west is barren, and the officials have long heard that every year the government subsidizes a lot of grain, but after all, it is not a complete strategy. Zheng Xianling was also embarrassed when he heard it.

"It is better to give a man a fish than to give him a fish. Although the land in the west is not suitable for crops, the beans are not affected, and I have inquired, and the yield of beans is about the same as that in the east. "Shumin had asked the villagers before, so he already had an idea in his mind.

"Oh, you mean to let the people in the west specialize in growing beans and exchange beans for food?" The county magistrate immediately understood what Shumin meant, touched his mustache, thought for a while, and said, "If all of them are used to grow beans, what if the beans can't be sold?"

In previous years, beans were the lowest food, people used to feed pigs, and the price and grain of buying and selling were heaven and earth.

"In the past, we couldn't, but now we need beans to make tofu, and the land in the east is fertile, so it's a pity to plant it in a large area, so it's better to let the west plan for planting and sales." Now that tofu is in the limelight, I believe that beans will be in short supply in the coming year. Shumin said.

It's true that in this way, except for a few nearby counties, Fucheng is very concerned about tofu, and after Professor Shumin is finished here, he will start to act there. I believe that the neighboring counties have come to study in the past few days.

Lord Zheng reacted immediately as soon as Shumin reminded him. It seems that I have to order someone to stock up on more beans, and it is imperative that the price of this bean go up. hehe

Master Zheng had an idea in his heart, but he didn't understand the tone on his face, and praised Shumin:

"Qin woman, thanks to you, the people of Linjiang County can be blessed to eat tofu. Come, the official will first toast you with tea instead of wine. ”

Seeing that the county ordered the adults to replace the wine with tea, Shumin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly held the tea bowl and saluted back. (To be continued.) )
