Chapter 151: Keep fooling
Watching those squires with people and confronting the people of their own Su family, Su Daqiang basically understood something.
But he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that these squires would unite against him.
He looked at the squires and couldn't help but shout angrily: "Bastards, you ...... You are actually against me, you are also squires, you are shameless like this! ”
The squires were apparently indifferent to his angry scolding.
Chen Xiao got up, walked over, and said to Su Daqiang: "Now, you shouldn't be eager for someone to save you, right?" ”
Su Daqiang took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what benefits did you give them?" ”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, don't you know that there is a restaurant in the imperial capital called the most ruthless restaurant?" That restaurant is my ......."
Hearing this, Su Daqiang looked at Chen Xiao fiercely.
He was indeed shocked.
He looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You...... You drove it? This...... You actually drove it? ”
"Yes, I plan to open a few in Qingyang County, they don't want you to cooperate with me, so I'm happy for you to die, so that they can earn!"
Chen Xiao did not shy away from saying it!
Su Daqiang sat paralyzed on the ground, he didn't expect that he had fought for the interests of his whole life, and today, he lost to the interests......
"Let's be executed!"
Chen Xiao said lightly, and the executioner raised the knife suddenly, the knife fell from his hand, and the head fell to the ground.
The Su family collapsed, but they were restrained by other squires, but they couldn't do anything!
……
County office!
The girl Li Shanshan was very grateful to Chen Xiao and decided to stay in the county government as a maid.
Chen Wenshan was also very excited, he didn't expect that he, the county commander, could be so tough and do a thing to kill the squire!
Chen Xiao was very calm and didn't think there was anything.
And at this time, there was a dinging in the brain, and the system sounded:
"Ding, congratulations to the host, complete the task, get the reward, and use the kitchen tools and ingredients unlimitedly!"
On the simple board of the system, a kitchen sign appeared, Chen Xiao became interested, and clicked on the kitchen sign with his mind, and suddenly a stove appeared on the system board, and all kinds of vegetable seasonings and meat appeared on it.
This is simply too tempting for Chen Xiao, who has not eaten any food for two months.
So, he ran directly to the back kitchen, and after driving the people out, he took out all kinds of ingredients and spices and a wok from the system kitchen.
Put the wok on the fire, Chen Xiao immediately started to fry a shredded green pepper pork, a back pot meat, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a sweet and sour tenderloin, fried a small green vegetable, mapo tofu, and burned a bowl of tomato egg soup.
These dishes are all made by Chen Xiao, and he can easily make them when there are ingredients and condiments.
So, a few plates of fragrant meals are ready.
smiled with satisfaction, and then called a few maids in and brought the dishes to the table.
After Chen Wenshan and his wife and Long Jiuling came, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this table of food full of color and flavor.
Chen Xiao let them taste it, and as soon as these fragrant dishes entered their mouths, they almost didn't cry when they saw it.
It's so delicious.
These delicious flavors are something they don't usually think of.
On weekdays, the meals they eat are nothing more than steaming, and the seasonings are generally salt, vinegar, peppercorns, and others, almost nothing.
The ingredients are also limited, and there are not many types of vegetables, unlike the seeds cultivated in modern society.
Therefore, most people eat mutton, except for boiling and roasting, and there are not many seasonings, the taste can be imagined!
Therefore, when they are eating the food that Chen Xiao is cooking now, it is like eating elixir and jade liquid.
Chen Wenshan and his wife, who have always been gentle, are like beggars who have been hungry for a long time, feasting hard.
Although Long Jiuling is a princess, the ingredients and seasonings in this world are limited, no matter how good the food is, it can't compare to the current meal.
Therefore, she also eats very happily.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw them eating so happily.
After the meal, several people touched their bulging bellies, not to mention how comfortable they were.
But at this moment, Chen Wenshan suddenly sighed with a sad face and said, "Alas...... We're full, but some of the people are ...... I'm afraid there won't be a good harvest......"
Chen Xiao asked casually: "Where are the people?" ”
"We have a Qingjiang town in Qingyang County, this year, this town, several townships are short of water, farmers' grain, has been dry for a long time, has not rained, these rice, I am afraid that in autumn, there is no harvest......
Speaking of this question, Chen Wenshan sighed and was worried.
Chen Xiao said: "Since this town is called Qingjiang Town, there must be rivers, right?" ”
"There is a river, but it is a few kilometers away from those villages, and it is not easy to get water through this distance!" Chen Wenshan said.
"Then dig a ditch!" Chen Xiao said.
"It takes financial resources and manpower to dig a canal, and digging such a long canal and reinforcing it will cost thousands of taels of silver, but where does the money come from?"
Chen Xiao frowned: "The yamen has no money? ”
"It's not enough, the yamen spends so much, this natural disaster and drought, digging a canal is beyond the yamen's budget." Chen Wenshan said.
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "I should take care of this matter...... If you don't have enough money, why don't you come back to collect donations? ”
"It stands to reason that if one party has a disaster, it is collecting donations to start the project. But where would anyone want to? It is not easy for these people to donate some of their money, unless there is a squire to take the lead. ”
Chen Xiao said: "Then let them take the lead?" ”
"Don't think about it, if the squires don't continue to oppress the people, it's not bad, and they pay for one side to dig a canal? Dream! Chen Wenshan sneered.
Chen Xiao said: "Normally, it is difficult for them to take the lead in donating money, but ...... I have a way to ......."
Chen Wenshan was puzzled: "What can you do?" ”
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Come on, go and invite the squires!" ”
……
Not long after, in the back hall!
Seven or eight squires thought that Chen Xiao asked them to talk about the restaurant, but who knew that as soon as Chen Xiao opened his mouth, he was talking about the drought in several villages in Qingjiang Town, and what he said about raising money to dig a canal.
As soon as he heard this, the old squire was not happy: "Chen Xiancheng, where do we have the spare money to donate, I'm afraid this is ......"
Chen Xiao knew that they were deducting it very much, and said: "Everyone, where did I ask you to really donate, I just let you play a leading role." ”
The old squire said, "What do you mean?" ”
Chen Xiao said: "As long as you are willing to donate, the people are willing, and if you don't do it, you will not only not lose, but also earn." ”
The old squire was puzzled: "Tell me?" ”
"I think so, you are squires, you first take the lead, donate money publicly, and then, lead the people to donate money. Afterwards, I will return all the money you have donated.
Then I will give you thirty percent of the people's money, and if you donate more, you will share more. How about the remaining seventy percent to repair the canal? Is it still earnable? After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he looked at them.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
They threw bricks to attract jade, and the bricks they threw back in the end can still be divided?
Isn't that a great thing?
So they all nodded their heads one after another.
Chen Xiao smiled and asked them to go back, waiting for Chen Xiao's fundraising news, these squires went back happily one by one.
Chen Wenshan looked at his son and said, "Son, you are too smart, but you ...... Will it be ...... to make money from the people?"
Chen Xiao sneered: "Do you think I will really let the people raise donations?" Hmph, I pit these squires, when the time comes, they donate, and the people want to donate a fart! ”
