Chapter 17: The cute Chen Meiniang

After all this was done, it was a little dark, and Zhao Cheng bought some good tenderloin, bought some ingredients, and picked two eggs before closing the stall in the market.

In this era, productivity is very low, and pork is good because it is hyped as dirty meat, but eggs are a real luxury, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford eggs.

However, eggs are full nutrients, and they can conjure up a chick with all kinds of organs, so it is essential to supplement Chen Meiniang's nutrition.

When she came back, Chen Meiniang's rice was basically cooked. However, there is almost no meat, just a little brown rice cooked in a small amount of rice, a little green, and a little salt.

Now life is like this, when eating, Ghost Feet Seven will follow the boss and the boss lady, Zhao Cheng is at Chen Meiniang's house when he sleeps, and Ghost Feet Seven goes to Zhao Cheng's house.

"The rice is ready." Chen Meiniang got a wet cloth to wipe his face, "You can start the meal when you come." ”

What are you going to eat like this?

Zhao Cheng took the initiative to go to the stove and began to steam eggs and sweet and sour tenderloin.

Just smelling the fragrance also makes Ghost Foot Seven want to die happily. However, the beautiful girl was extremely worried, and came over to hug Zhao Cheng's waist and said that if she did this, she would soon go bankrupt.

Zhao Cheng was secretly funny, boss, I would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, but I can't say it for the time being and bring her down.

Sit around and eat together, Ghost Foot Seven will not eat meat, and he will eat as much as Zhao Cheng gives him.

simply divided the meat equally, and the eggs forced the beauty to eat more. Because of food and clothing, she will have benefits if she is in good health. Just like the government has to be good to the people, the people will pay more taxes.

After eating this meal that was very tyrant in the Great Song Dynasty, for the ancients or the poor, it was basically almost time to go to bed. Ghost Feet went back to sleep with Zhao Cheng seven times.

Chen Meiniang sat next to her with the appearance of a cute girl and did some embroidery or something, while chattering that a bucket of rice in the east of the shopkeeper Li was cheaper, but Lao Li was not honest and liked to add some sand to brown rice. The price of the king's shopkeeper in the west is higher, but there is less sand.

In the end, the beauty girl came to the conclusion that the shopkeeper Li mixed with sand was more powerful. The argument process is that she has time to carefully sift off the sand, and if she calculates the weight, Lao Li's rice is still a penny cheaper than each bucket of rice in Wang's shopkeeper.

"Well, it's really smart for a beautiful girl to be a housekeeper."

Zhao Cheng looked out of the house absentmindedly, wondering if the little girl could survive.

"Of course." Chen Meiniang was very happy to be praised by someone so smart as him.

Her embroidery was not for herself, nor for Zhao Cheng. It was the odd job she received from Su Ganniang in the embroidery village in the west of the city. If she has more time, she can get nearly ten copper coins a day.

Zhao Cheng continued to say absentmindedly: "In other words, it takes nearly an hour for you to sift rice, Meiniang, to save a penny." Embroidery for two hours, then start with eight pennies. So do you still think that the rice of Shopkeeper Li is cheap? ”

"Well, cheap." Chen Meiniang nodded a little cutely.

I'll go~

This caused Zhao Cheng to almost fall off his seat.

Chen Meiniang thought for a while and said, "Did Meiniang say something wrong?" ”

"No, the beautiful girl is so smart."

Zhao Cheng held his cheeks and said, "You are wise and foolish, and I am smart." You are so cute, you can be my good helper to be the boss. In the future, when I log in to Qingyun as the prime minister, you will be able to get back all your investment in this life and the next eight lifetimes at one time. Instead of putting your mind on firewood, rice, oil and salt for a few pennies, it's amazing. ”

Chen Meiniang was happy and slightly messy, feeling that he was a little bad, and I was afraid that I was going to coax people to do bad things again.

However, she thought too much, and now that she had collected taxes in advance, Zhao Cheng would not have implemented "tyranny". Chat with her just to give her time to digest her food and add some emotional communication by the way.

At about the same time, he took the embroidery from her hand and put it down, and stuffed her into the quilt to rest.

Then Zhao Cheng went out and looked up at the night sky. I saw that the sky was gloomy, and there was no starlight.

After a while, it finally rained, and it was not light.

The worst fear has finally happened, if the rain does not stop for a short time, it means that the best construction period is officially over.

This means that everyone's interests are damaged, there is indeed no scorching sun at that time, but there will be more people to join the ranks of labor, and all the people sent by the county government will bring knives to supervise the construction of labor in a more dangerous situation, and there will be no more talk of going home to rest, and tents will be built by the river to work around the clock.

At that time, those who retreated would not be whipped, they would be equivalent to deserters on the battlefield, and they would be knifed.

This Nima is also equivalent to Zhao Cheng's interests suffered a great loss, not only will he lose the copper money income on the construction site, but he will also take the lead in rescuing at night when the river is surging and the flow speed is accelerating under the supervision of the guards with knives, and the chance of death is not too small......

Lao Liu, the captain of the Guichi County (Zhoucheng) patrol special police brigade, held a waist knife in one hand and an umbrella in the other, accompanied the county lord out of the city quickly and rushed to the river construction site to check the situation.

The county lord is a scholar in his early thirties, but he has a grim look. When he approached the river, he saw that the most dangerous section of the river was pitch black, and there was not a single ghost, so he whipped Liu Du's head with a whip.

Lao Liu is often used to being drawn, and the messengers next to him are all so frightened that they kneel on one leg.

"The most dangerous construction site in my county, the river defense must be rushed, why is there no labor on duty?" The county lord snorted coldly.

Liu Dutou couldn't answer, and as soon as he spoke, he was teased again, and continued to accompany the county zun to the river in the heavy rain.

When he arrived at the river, the county lord looked a little slower, waved his hand to push away Lao Liu's umbrella, walked far away on the river embankment, walked a while, and stepped on it with his feet to feel the quality of construction.

Hey.

At this point, Lao Liu became proud, his luck was really good, and he accidentally enabled Zhao Cheng. When it comes to the construction progress, it is still a little backward for various reasons, I dare not talk about this point, but the quality must not be said, Zhao Cheng usually brings his own lunch box inspector, but it is much stricter than Lao Liu's inspector.

At some point, the county lord stopped, looked at the river that began to speed up, and hooked his hand again.

Liu Du ran over and said: "County Zun, the construction progress is indeed a bit unexpected, but this is limited to the guidance of public opinion in Guichi County, and I dare not be presumptuous......

"Less pressing!"

The county raised his hand and stopped: "What is the guidance of this county, how many people are serving, what is the service population, what is the mentality, what is the state of the project, this county knows better than you." ”

"Yes, yes, the county is wise." Lao Liu shut up.

The county lord pointed around: "Who repaired it?" ”

Liu Du clenched his fists and said with a look of sincerity: "It is a humble duty to seriously comprehend the spirit of the master......"

Smack-

was whipped up again, and Liu Dutou didn't dare to speak again.

The county lord said coldly: "If you have this ability, you still need the lord to come here and walk around now, do you think Lao Tzu has no beauty to warm the bed?" ”

Liu Dutou looked helpless, "Eh, the county is wise, I can't hide anything from you......"

The county lord was a little dizzy, and couldn't help but raise the whip in his hand again, looking at Liu Dutou with bad intentions.

Lao Liu finally stopped talking nonsense, "It was Zhao Chengxiu, who felt that the construction progress was lagging behind, and discovered his talent in this area, so as to use it wisely." This person is a native of Guichi County, has no bad criminal record, and is down-to-earth and positive......"

"This county doesn't care."

The county lord interrupted and threw the leather whip in his hand on the ground, "Give him this whip and let him continue to supervise the river project, and using this whip to whip people is not considered to attract public resentment." That's it. ”

After that, he turned around and left with his umbrella.

The messenger and Liu Dutou breathed a sigh of relief, this time Zhen Nima was lucky to meet Zhao Cheng, otherwise he would not be beautiful when he met the heavenly father, this old man would really kill one or two people to sacrifice the flag, or call it a sacrifice to the sky......
