236 Preparations for the Blind Date Conference

Ling Xiaorou has been busy drying vegetables in Gao County these days, there are ready-made ones, dryers are also available, and the rest is a problem of workers, the stove can't be good, the vegetables are delivered, and she and Mo Hongsu will do this work

Fortunately, Ling Xiaorou's status in Gao County is not the same now, and when people let out the news, someone brought someone to show her, in addition to buying some subordinates who sold themselves into slavery, Ling Xiaorou recruited some more workers, such as collecting vegetables and transporting vegetables on weekdays, and the lack of manpower directly affects the work efficiency.

After a few days of busy work, the blacksmith shop also sent the finished dryer half a month in advance, Ling Xiaorou and Mo Hongsu tried it personally, and it was not bad to use, but when it was used, it was necessary to master the heat, otherwise the dish would easily burn.

After trying a few times, it is almost familiar, Ling Xiaorou asked the blacksmith shop to make fifty of them like this, because Tiefan had been built before, this time each dryer only cost ten taels of silver, except for thirty to stay in Gao County, Ling Xiaorou let twenty of them be transported to Jicheng, where dried vegetables and dried fruits can also be made.

And these days Mo Hongsu is not idle, sent someone to inform He Louyuan about the blind date conference, and got He Louyuan's reply, because Gao County is limited after all, the blind date conference is still the best held in Jicheng, and then He Louyuan will personally select thousands of soldiers who have performed well on the battlefield and want to retire, as long as they find the girl they like, in addition to the settling-in allowance of five taels of silver per person when they are discharged, the prince will also give another ten taels of silver to buy a house.

Mo Hongsu and Ling Xiaorou were very happy to get the letter, but in this way, the girls in Zhucun were definitely not enough, and after the discussion, the day was set on the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the first month of May, as long as it was under the jurisdiction of King Ningyuan, the notices were posted, and the girls who rushed to Jicheng on the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth month of May could participate in the blind date meeting.

All of a sudden, the blind date meeting spread in Jicheng and the surrounding prefectures and counties, and those who only had daughters in the family, or even only daughters, were all moved, if they could recruit a soldier to be their old son-in-law, it was completely different from the door-to-door son-in-law that people looked down on on weekdays.

Fifteen taels of silver is not a decimal number for most people's families, even if there is no longer anything in the family, it can also be regarded as a small rich family, and when the daughter marries, as long as she is not too lazy, she can get by.

Moreover, no one who comes down from the battlefield is weak and easy to bully, and after getting married, the family also has a pillar, which is the most important thing.

There are also some soldiers who have families and don't want to be sons-in-law, as long as the people are good, they are not far away, mainly because of the matchmaker of Wang Bao of Ningyuan, they are all at ease.

Ling Xiaorou in Gao County, the vegetable drying workshop was built, in the front yard of the house where they lived, thirty dryers were placed in three rooms, dozens of catties of vegetables were put in, and they could be dried out in about a quarter of an hour, the speed was called a fast, it only took two days to process several large trucks of dried vegetables, dried vegetables are divided into pure dried vegetables and dried vegetables, the so-called dried meat and vegetables are cut into small dices and made into dried meat in the dryer, mixed into dried vegetables, boiled with water when eating, there is meat and vegetables taste very good.

A drying field was also built in the yard, and a long rope was pulled, and the whole vegetables were hung on it to dry, and vegetables such as radish, eggplant, and cucumber were cut into knife flowers and hung on it, as long as the weather was good, it could be dried in a few days, but this time I couldn't wait to transport it, so I could only talk about it next time.

There were also two carts of dried fruits, and Ling Xiaorou sent people to send these carts of dried vegetables and dried fruits to the front of the battle, so that the soldiers could solve the problem of eating meat and rice noodles.

Mo Hongsu also asked people to send two truckloads of dried meat and vegetables to the front of the southern battle, and attached the method of eating, but he couldn't get a reply for a while, so he simply forgot about it.

Seeing that the amount of dried vegetables and dried fruits is getting bigger and bigger, it is definitely not enough to rely on the existing vegetables in Ling Xiaorou's field, and let people harvest a lot of vegetables outside, such as dried eggplant, dried beans, etc., which are all good things, although it is impossible for her to pull out all the unharvested grain for the time being.

As for the next season's vegetable replanting, Ling Xiaorou decided that at least half of her thousands of hectares of fertile land should be set aside to grow vegetables, and these dryers were obviously not enough, she could see that in winter, these dried fruits, dried meat and dried vegetables would be very popular when they were transported to the north, so she asked the blacksmith shop to make a hundred dryers.

Dried vegetables and dried fruits are very successful, and Gao County has nothing to do, Ling Xiaorou went to Zhucun a few times when she was not too busy, in addition to telling those girls that they would hold a blind date meeting in Jicheng on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and asked them if they would go with her, or find it by themselves later, no matter how it passed, Ling Xiaorou said that she would provide catering and accommodation.

The girls went home to discuss with their parents at home, after all, their parents were not worried that their daughters would leave home alone, but the blind date meeting in Jicheng made them very tempted, and finally they simply put down the business in Zhucun for the time being and accompanied their daughters to Jicheng.

As a result, as soon as I discussed with the people in the village, many people were tempted, although there was no girl in the family to attend the blind date meeting, but the excitement also wanted to go to see, and Guo Shanyi discussed, Guo Shan immediately made a decision, the business in the village stopped for ten days, nothing is more important than the marriage of the girls in the village, everyone went to Jicheng to see each other.

In this way, there are more people who want to go to Jicheng with Ling Xiaorou, except for the old man who stayed in the village to watch the village, the young and those who can go out have followed, there are nearly two hundred people.

Ling Xiaorou said that although there are too many people, she can still arrange accommodation and solve the problem of eating for them.

On the first day of the fifth month, Ling Xiaorou and the old lady got into a carriage and rushed back to Jicheng, followed by dozens of carriages and ox carts behind their carriage, all of which were teams from Zhucun to Jicheng to watch the excitement.

Now that every family in Zhucun is wealthy, and when they take out the clothes made of the fabric that Ling Xiaorou and her aunt gave back to the village last year, they are all in good spirits, and they look like a big family traveling.

When I arrived in Jicheng, even the city gate was hung with a lot of red lanterns, which looked more festive than the New Year.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw that there were people lining up in the open space next to me, all of them were parents who accompanied the girls to sign up, Ling Xiaorou had thought that the blind date meeting was very good, but she didn't expect it to be so popular, since the notice was issued, many girls rushed over in the company of their families, and many of them wanted to recruit a son-in-law to go home, and there were thousands of girls who signed up in just ten days, and nearly half of the girls were to recruit them.

At the gate of the city, it was not surprising to see Mo Hongsu who maintained order, and Mo Hongsilk in military uniform strode towards Ling Xiaorou, handsomely causing the girls in line to exclaim, and their confidence in finding a man to be a soldier was a little firmer.

Mo Hongsu rushed back to Jicheng a few days earlier to prepare, such a big event, how to ensure the safety of the city, there are still a lot of things to prepare, Ling Xiaorou said, this blind date conference is not only to go on a blind date, but also to make it as lively as the Lantern Festival, in addition to the big place, there must also be all kinds of stalls selling food.

Otherwise, it's a group of big girls and young men staring at each other, and people can't let go.

Moreover, not only the girls and boys who are on a blind date can participate, but also those in the city who want to see the excitement can also come.

It's just that you have to sign up before participating in the blind date, and a silk flower will be issued after registration, and the girl who wants to recruit is a red flower, and the girl who wants to marry is a pink flower, so that the boys will not have a misunderstanding.

Looking at the girls carefully and shyly putting the pink flowers into their cuffs, Ling Xiaorou felt that the girls of this era were actually sometimes not lighter than the girls in her previous life.

Mo Hongsu told Ling Xiaorou about the grand occasion of the registration of this blind date conference, and was excited while talking, originally He Louyuan said that when he picked a thousand soldiers, Mo Hongsu was afraid that there were too many soldiers and not enough girls to pick, but when he looked at it this way, there were not enough soldiers.

Although there is no guarantee that all girls and soldiers will be matched, it would be good if 12 out of 10 can be matched, but no matter what, the soldiers cannot be cowardly in numbers

rushed to send a letter to He Louyuan, and selected 4,000 soldiers, and a full 5,000 soldiers came together to participate in the blind date conference, which reflected the importance that King Ning Yuan attached to this blind date conference.

If this time is successful, there are not many soldiers who have retired from the army and have no wives in that year, and it is not bad to hold it once a year, and it is said that there are many generals who have not married their relatives and have also moved their hearts, and begged King Ning Yuan to personally bring troops over, and they also want to marry back a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

Because of the spring breeze on his side, King Ning Yuan was still very considerate of his subordinates' thoughts about marrying a daughter-in-law, so he immediately responded, so in addition to the benefits of the soldiers who were about to retire, even some generals came over to join in the fun.

No, as soon as Mo Hongsu said a few words to Ling Xiaorou, Ling Xiaorou saw a rare shy birthday celebration over there, I hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was excited with a shy look, Ling Xiaorou almost recognized the wrong person.

Is this person really a birthday celebration with thicker skin than the city wall?

When he learned that Qingsheng also wanted to take this opportunity to marry a daughter-in-law back, Ling Xiaorou was also happy for him, even if he couldn't meet his true daughter at the blind date meeting this time, Ling Xiaorou decided to find him a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

After Qingsheng listened to Ling Xiaorou's assurance, he thanked him again and again, and his face was about to become a chrysanthemum, Mo Hongsu despised this comrade-in-arms for many years, look at his appearance, a daughter-in-law made him so beautiful that he forgot what his surname was

However, what is the surname of Qingsheng, Mo Hongsu said that she really didn't know.

Because of Ling Xiaorou's relationship, the people in Zhucun also went through the back door, and the girls didn't have to queue up to sign up to receive flowers, as long as they counted the number of people and said, someone would send silk flowers.

As for the placement of these girls, although Ling Xiaorou wanted to arrange everyone in Zhuangzi, the people of Zhucun felt that Zhuangzi also had a long way to go to the city, and they wanted to take advantage of these days to have a good walk in the city, and it was inconvenient to come and go.
