Chapter 30 (Seeking Reading) Xiao Chen's acting skills
Sure enough, Ye Lao was very familiar with the current affairs, and immediately appeased the officials below.
At least in the matter of eating food, no one embarrassed Ye Lao.
When the people were full, the rumors quickly disappeared, and everything seemed harmonious.
In fact, the requirements of the common people are very low, and most of them eat at home on weekdays, most of them are two meals a day, and one of them is still thin.
Now working for the government and being able to eat three meals of brown rice has made them very satisfied, and they still have wages to pay.
Only Wang Zhixian and Ye Lao were full of sadness.
If you continue to let these little officials be greedy, you won't be able to eat a meal like today's for a few days.
in the storeroom.
Ye Lao's face was slightly pale, he rubbed his swollen forehead, put down the account book that had just been combed in his hand, and wrote a number on the table with a pen.
"In the makeshift warehouse, only this brown rice is left."
"In just two days, it's a loss of two percent!"
"Not only did there be a problem with food, but the rate of loss of tools and road building materials was far faster than previously estimated."
Even though Wang Xianling had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the specific figures.
Gritted his teeth and said: "How dare they, so bold!" ”
"Are you really not afraid of the court's questioning, and aren't you afraid of my famous royal law?"
Ye Lao smiled silently, looked up at the county order with a flushed face, and said, "Of course they are not afraid!" ”
"If the road construction can't be completed, the court will only question you, the chief official."
"Even if you want to hit the board of the people below, there is no way to start without tangible evidence."
Of course, Wang Xianling knew the result of what Ye Lao said, but because of the blackening of his eyes, he could only vent a few words in a hurry.
Once there is a mistake in road repair, this black pot must be carried by itself!
When the time comes, the chief official will come to Yongshun County, and these little officials will run and dance like horses.
It can be described as a county order of flowing water, and a small official beaten with iron.
Ye Lao's hand slapped heavily on the table, "We must get their evidence within three days." ”
"If you delay for a long time, it will inevitably delay the construction period, and even affect the agricultural time!"
Due to the large amount of labor required to repair the road surface, Yongshun County had to complete it before the agricultural time.
Otherwise, if the agricultural time is wrong, the output will inevitably be reduced.
The money and grain taxes that affect the imperial court will be dismissed and exiled at the least, and the head will be lost at the worst!
"At this time, all means can be used." Ye Lao mentioned again, and Wang Xianling's eyes flashed with fierceness.
When the two were planning in the warehouse, Chen Ping had already circled the construction site under the leadership of the people who had been planted by Wang Xianling.
First of all, he found out the situation of several temporary buildings in the surrounding area, and then confirmed the names and appearances of several leading officials from a distance.
Then with a harmless face, he walked to the place where the officials gathered to eat.
"Huh!"
"Who is this child, how dare you run around in such a place?"
As soon as someone opened his mouth to scold, he was interrupted by the housekeeper waving his hand, "Don't worry too much, this is Ye Wenchang's old thing." ”
"It's just a little hairy baby, and I don't understand fart."
"Whatever he does, leave him alone."
The housekeeper obviously has a lot of prestige here, and when he said this, the officials who sat at the two tables in the shed really ignored Chen Ping and started talking and laughing by themselves.
After three rounds of drinking, his face is red and his ears are hot, and naturally there are people with fast mouths who begin to brag about themselves.
"It's good to build a road, it's a good way to build a road, once this road is repaired, the red children of the Jade Building are willing to look at me as a little official."
"When this road is finished, Lao Tzu will immediately go to redeem Hong'er and enjoy it for a few days and nights!"
These words caused everyone to laugh and scold, and naturally aroused the hearts of other officials.
The middle-aged man in charge of material transportation slapped his hands and howled: "Grandpa has finally turned over!" ”
"One hundred taels, a whole hundred taels of silver!"
He raised a finger, waved it in a circle, and continued to roar like a madman.
"A few days ago, I just got the silver from Shopkeeper Han, and I immediately went over and slapped it on the stinky woman's body!"
"That mother-in-law has put on a stinky face for the master for a whole year, and the effort is gone in the blink of an eye, hahaha!"
This person's voice was too loud, and there was an elderly official, who immediately sensed that something was wrong, and directly stepped forward to cover his mouth.
"Zhang Sanlang, what kind of drunken madness are you, don't look at what kind of place this is!"
"Wang Xian Ling is still in the warehouse, are you going to kill the big guy?"
was scolded by his colleagues, and the official named Zhang Sanlang broke out in a cold sweat when he felt speechless, and his drunkenness instantly dissipated without a trace.
At this time, the housekeeper, who had not been drinking, suddenly stood up.
His eyes coldly scanned all directions, searching for Chen Ping's figure.
Children may not be able to understand it, but children can learn to speak!
There is a kind of learning that has been passed on to Wang County's order, but it is terrible.
Then, he was beside a certain official and found Chen Ping, who was quietly stealing braised pork slices from the plate.
At this time, Chen Ping seemed to be extremely hungry, and his mouth was bulging.
A pair of greasy little hands were still speeding forward, heading straight for the plate containing the meat.
Seeing this scene, the housekeeper smiled dumbly.
I just thought that I made a bit of a fuss.
It's just a hairy baby, who doesn't have a few families, and who doesn't come over at this age?
At this age, Mao Wazi will not listen carefully to what strangers are saying at all, they only have delicious appetites.
Having said that, the steward, who had always been cautious, still slipped Chen Pingti over and pressed it in front of him.
A pair of cloudy old eyes, staring at Chen Ping carefully, asked in a deep voice: "Aren't you a descendant of the Ye family, why do you seem to have never eaten meat?" ”
"Could it be that the Ye family is just a superficial scenery, and there is only an empty shell left?"
Chen Ping didn't reply, but tried to chew the fat in his mouth.
After finally swallowing it, he grabbed two more pieces of braised pork and stuffed them into his mouth, only to hear him mutter.
"I'm not from the Ye family, so I can't eat meat like this in our Nanxi Village."
"Hiccup.... I just went to study at Huating Academy, and today I was brought here by the old gentleman for some reason, and I didn't care if I was hungry. ”
"Uncle, do you have flowers? I haven't even tasted it yet. ”
Huaao, also known as "Jiaoyaao", is now the caramel sugar, which is a semi-solid maltose made of glutinous rice and wheat as raw materials, with burnt yellow color, fragrant smell and strong viscosity.
Chen Ping's ignorant and delicious childish appearance was vivid, and with the blessing of his oily face, he deceived everyone at the scene without accident.
Even the most cautious room manager had to let go of his grip on Chen Ping.
He pointed to Zhang Sanlang, who had just woken up, "Go, find a few flowers for this doll, and if you can't find it, go to the county town to buy it, don't let him wander around here!" ”
Zhang Sanlang reluctantly got up and walked out, Chen Ping followed in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc that everyone couldn't see.
Xiao Chen, your acting skills are good!
