Chapter Seventy-Four: Ring the Bell and Opening the Clan Meeting
When the patriarch heard what they meant, he wanted to publicize the food called pancakes invented by Zhang Xiaoxue and benefit the people, and he was very happy.
This is the support of the military again, I only feel that this is the honor of the whole family in Zhangjia Village, and I love Zhang Xiaoxue very much.
"Okay, the little girl has won glory for our village. When the pancake food spreads all over the country, people will know about our Zhangjia Village, and they will also know that there is an 11-year-old girl who invented this food, and people who can't eat enough will be grateful to you. The patriarch praised Zhang Xiaoxue.
"The patriarch has won the prize, and this is as it should be. Zhang Xiaoxue said.
Later, I heard that the military was going to ask Zhang Xiaoxue to be the county lord, so this 11-year-old girl turned around and became a nobleman.
When the patriarch himself saw Zhang Xiaoxue in the future, he had to respect him very much, because the nobles had a lot of privileges. Even if the nobles committed a crime, the person who judged them had to be one level higher than their rank, otherwise they would not have the right to judge them at all.
Zhang Xiaoxue's county lord, although he has no real power, his official position is indeed the same as the parents and children of the county lord, even if Zhang Xiaoxue commits a crime, the parent officials in this county have no right to convict Zhang Xiaoxue, and they still need to report to the county lord.
And I also know that the 100 acres of wasteland near Shenxian Mountain are also this little girl's.
The patriarch didn't care about the 100 acres of wasteland, anyway, the wasteland was idle, although the government also encouraged the villagers to reclaim the wasteland, but the villagers were not willing to reclaim the wasteland at all.
Because the quality of the land here is not good at all, the newly reclaimed wasteland has no fertility, and the crops planted can hardly even be harvested with seeds, so the villagers will rarely spend that effort to reclaim the wasteland.
Farmers here grow their grain and use farm manure. There are very few people who breed livestock in the village, and they all use their own family's rice fields, and everyone even if they want to be convenient, they are holding back to their own homes to solve the problem, which is a verification of the proverb that fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and we do not have excess farm fertilizer to supply the reclaimed wasteland.
An acre of wasteland takes time and effort to raise for many years before it can be turned into a land that can really harvest good marriage.
The patriarch expressed his support for their family's use of slaves to cultivate food, and also said that they needed to use it in the clan, just open their mouths.
Zhang Xiaoxue told the patriarch in detail that the pancakes were made of coarse grains, which were delicious and filling.
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't hide it either, and told the patriarch that 1 catty of coarse grain could almost make 16 pancakes and two pancakes, so that ordinary people could eat enough.
Anyway, when the villagers make their own pancakes, they will find that it is better to say it.
The patriarch was even more enthusiastic about this matter, and immediately made a decision to ring the bell of the clan hall, convene a clan meeting, and tell the villagers the good news now.
In this way, a group of people went to the ancestral hall courtyard of the clan again, and there was a large bronze bell in front of the ancestral hall.
"Knock, knock, knock......" The deep and heavy bronze bell was struck, and the ancient and melodious bell fluttered throughout the village, and even the neighboring villages were faintly heard, they didn't know what happened in Zhangjia Village, they were all guessing each other.
The villagers who have the ability to take care of themselves in Zhangjia Village, at this time, whether they are busy in the field, or those who take a lunch break at home, anyway, the people who can come by themselves, all gathered in the ancestral hall compound, everyone does not know what is happening, except for the New Year's sacrifice, there is no important thing will not ring the bell.
The villagers who gathered were very anxious, thinking that something big had happened. Several clan elders also rushed over out of breath, and hurriedly found the patriarch to ask what had happened.
Hehe! This movement is not ordinary, no matter, stand aside by yourself, and watch the excitement first.
There was a high platform in the courtyard, and the patriarch arranged for a few young people, moved a few tables and stools, and put them on the high platform, so he invited the three Yan Wang, Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue, to sit on the top of the high platform, and several clan elders also came up and sat down.
The patriarch explained to a few clan elders in a whisper on the side, and several clan elders were also excited. Their village is about to develop.
Father Zhang looked at so many people below looking at him, a little nervous, he hadn't shown his head in front of so many people, he was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know where to put his hands. When Zhang Xiaoxue saw it, she quietly reached out and held Zhang's father's hand and gave him a comforting smile.
After waiting for about half an hour, it was estimated that all the villagers who could come had arrived, and the patriarch announced the good news.
When the villagers heard the news, they were eerily quiet for a few seconds, and with a buzz, they exploded like a pot, and everyone started to talk about it.
"Is the patriarch real?" someone asked loudly, they couldn't believe it, a pound of coarse grain to make the usual palm-sized bran cake, that is, to make eight, one bran cake is not enough to eat at all.
All the clan elders were so excited that their beards and red faces, the longer they stayed in the position of the clan elders, the more important they were to their reputation.
The village can develop in their generation, and this major event will be recorded in the clan's major events forever.
They are all ready to contribute to this matter, hoping that their names will appear in the clan's major events, and countless people in future generations will know that there was once such a person as him.
It is foreseeable that as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters this year, the village will no longer be afraid of starving to death this winter, and everyone will be able to eat enough.
Thinking of this, the favorability of Zhang Xiaoxue's family rose steadily.
I don't know what kind of food this pancake is. It is more food-saving than bran cake, and whether it will be too unpalatable, everyone has any kind of guess.
"Is it true, let's go to Zhang Zhenhe's house later, let's find out, let the mother-in-law at home quickly learn, the three lords here are the military adults, and they came to order pancakes from Zhang Zhenhe's house this time. They said they were going to use this pancake as military rations. First learn to make pancakes from our village, and then publicize that the people of the whole country can make them, so that the people who can't eat enough can eat enough. Oh, and I'm here to tell you by the way, the inventor of this pancake was invented by Zhang Xiaoxue, the daughter of Zhang Zhenhe's family, don't look at the small family, she will soon be the county lord, these adults will ask her to be the county lord, you must give due respect when you see her in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you offend the snow girl, she, the county lord, has the right to directly hand you over to the official for punishment and punishment. The patriarch said to the villagers again.
