Gou Xian Ling had already drunk hot tea, although this pavilion did not block the wind, but because of what happened just now, his spirit was very uplifted, and the whole person was in excitement.

Seeing Li Qingzhi, Gou Xianling asked, "What is this?" ”

"My lord, this is my father-in-law, he is too old to come, so he didn't have to come, but I am grateful to the county magistrate for his contribution to the county and took the initiative to help." Li Qing said with a smile.

Jin Dajiang has lost all his teeth because of perennial fatigue, and he looks very old, such a person actually took the initiative to help!

Gou County Ling was very happy and asked Jin Dajiang about some things, mostly in farming.

This is a prefectural order! Jin Dajiang felt that his heart was beating to his throat, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

However, he is like this, Gou Xianling is more satisfied, this is obviously not a person who specially came to compliment him, or an ordinary farmer!

"Dad, don't be nervous, Gou County Ling is a good person." Li Qingzhi appeased and translated the words of Gou County's order.

Jin Dajiang took a deep breath and finally slipped his words out.

Jin Dajiang's brain is still smart, unlike Li Laogen, who is out of tune, Gou County's order asked him when to sow seeds and other questions, he can answer them, and he also said that the price of fertilizer has risen because of Zhang Yunquan before, and now the price of fertilizer is finally normal.

These are all things that Gou County Ling likes to hear.

In addition, Li Qingzhi said a few words from time to time to express his admiration for Gou County's order...... The more Gou County ordered to listen, the happier he became.

At this time, Li Qingzhi inadvertently mentioned the fact that Tijin Dajiang would give people a soju banquet in the village on weekdays.

Gou Xianling didn't think about it, so he said: "Since Uncle Jin has the skills to cook, it is better to go to the partner room and be responsible for cooking for these people, I can't let you do things in vain, and let the partner give you two taels of silver a month when the time comes." ”

For a project as big as building a wharf, it is impossible to see that the salary of hiring an extra man to pay two taels of silver is not a problem at all.

But Jin Dajiang was already frozen.

Li Qing thanked Jin Dajiang on behalf of him, and then took Jin Dajiang to the side of the room.

For the people at this time, eating is a very, very important thing, and Li Qingzhi specifically emphasized this point to Gou County.

After thinking about it, Gou County ordered to hand over the house to Zhu Qian, let Zhu Qian find someone to take care of it, and make sure that the people eat well.

This errand must be done properly! Zhu Qian not only arranged for a trustworthy person to take care of the kitchen, because today Gou County ordered to eat a big pot of rice with the people, and he was personally watching from the room at this time.

Li Qingzhi brought Jin Dajiang over, and after explaining his intentions, Zhu Qian directly called Jin Dajiang Brother Jin and asked Jin Dajiang to work with Chef Zhou.

He arranged Chef Zhou to be the head chef.

The person in charge of the kitchen happens to be someone I know...... Li Qingzhi took Jin Dajiang and went to Chef Zhou again, and asked Chef Zhou to take care of his father-in-law.

Chef Zhou patted his chest and assured that he would definitely take care of Jin Dajiang.

Li Qingzhi knew that Jin Dajiang would not be wronged in the room, so he left Jin Dajiang and left with confidence.

After leaving the house, Li Qingzhi went to Miaoqian Village to find the village chief: "Village chief, my father is not old, and it is not in accordance with the rules to work here, but he has the skills to cook, so I asked him to go to the house to help cook." Now, there is one less person in the village newspaper in front of the temple. ”

"So what to do?" The village chief asked cautiously.

Li Qing insisted: "Let the Jin family have another person, forget it today, let him come over tomorrow." "If the Jin family gave the one or two pieces of silver to Jin Dajiang, he would not have proposed it after arranging Jin Dajiang, but the Jin family didn't give the money.

Since you haven't given any money, let's get out.

The village chief thought that Li Qingzhi knew Gou County, and hurriedly said, "I must call someone!" ”

Chapter 80: Food

Li Qingzhi spoke to the village chief of Miaoqian Village, and then went back to Gou County.

Wait for him

After leaving, the village chief of the next village asked the village chief of Miaoqian Village, "Who is that?" I even know the prefectural order! ”

The village chief of Miaoqian Village was a little proud: "That's Li Qingzhi, a scholar in our village. ”

The people in Miaoqian Village have a lot of contradictions with each other, but when facing outsiders, they will not say that their village is bad, and the village chief and other people in the village will praise Li Qingzhi together, saying that he is good to his children and daughter-in-law, and he used to earn a penny a day by copying books, which is very valued by Master Zhu......

Now, even the county magistrate values him very much!

The people in the other villages were envious when they heard this: "Why don't there be such powerful people in our village?" How did he meet the county master? That's amazing! ”

The people in Miaoqian Village didn't know how Li Qingzhi knew the county magistrate, but they were proud to hear these people praise Li Qingzhi and be honored.

After asking Li Qingzhi, those people asked about Jin Dajiang again, mainly because Yao Zuming said in front of them that Jin Dajiang's son was not filial......

Jin Dajiang is Li Qingzhi's father-in-law, and just now Li Qingzhi also took Jin Dajiang to meet the county magistrate!

It is impossible for the people in the village to speak ill of Jin Dajiang at this time, and even Yao Zuming does not dare to say nonsense.

"That's Jin Dajiang, his son is not unfilial, that child is filial, he works with him at a young age, and his son is still young, he is not even eighteen, so he doesn't have to work."

"He's here for his nephew, who is lazy."

"Speaking of Jin Dajiang, he is very blessed, and his children are all promising!" "His daughter is doing business in the county town and can earn ten taels of silver a month."

"His son is rocking a boat in the county seat, and he should earn a lot, and not long ago he married a daughter-in-law from the county seat, and the girl looks like a fairy, and she also married four boats of dowry!"

……

The people in the next village listened with relish, and if nothing else, it didn't take long for the people in the nearby villages to know about Li Qingzhi and Jin Dajiang.

They didn't talk long, though, and soon someone came to arrange for them to go to work.

There were a lot of people recruited, but Gou County Ling made a lot of preparations in advance, adopted some of the opinions of Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian, and arranged these people in an orderly manner.

The short, thin of them were singled out to do brickwork or other work that did not require effort, and the stronger ones were divided into separate teams to level the ground or dig the mud.

Gou County's order explained in advance that he asked these people to bring some hoes over, and he provided some more, but there was no shortage of tools at this time.

The Gou County Order also arranged for people to patrol among the people, and awarded medals to those who worked diligently, and those who won the medals could get an extra boiled egg when they had dinner.

The prefectural magistrate watched from the side, and if you work hard, you can get an extra egg...... People work harder than the other.

When Gou Xianling saw it, he asked people to bring a brand-new hoe to try to dig the mud, but after he plunged the hoe into the ground, he couldn't dig out the mud no matter how much he pulled.

Although he is not weak, he is still not good at manual work.

For this reason, Gou Xianling admired those people more, and said: "When I was young, I was taken by my father to do farm work, and I thought I could farm, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that what I learned is all fake tricks." ”

"Did the county order the lord go to the ground?" Li Qingzhi was a little curious.

Gou County ordered: "Under the circumstances, my father thinks that people should know about agriculture." Speaking of this matter, Gou County Ling said something about his previous affairs.

The Gou family is not a big family, but it is also a scholarly family, for the long-term consideration of the family, they have high requirements for the children in the family, Gou County Ling has to start reading at a very young age, and he has to learn many things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

He had the talent to read, and later focused on the imperial examination, while others who had no talent took other paths.

Li Qingzhi felt that it was good for the Gou family to do this.

Speaking of which, the original owner's father also had high requirements for his sons, and the original owner's family was still rich at that time, but the original owner had to do a lot of things by himself, and later learned to be a master, and he ran around doing hard work.

If he didn't have enough life experience, the original owner would definitely not be able to escape to Miaoqian Village smoothly.

In the future, he must let Li Damao and Li Ermao do more things, how can he not be like Yao Zhenfu next door, he can't be raised to do anything.

Not long after the men began to work, the smell of meat wafted from afar.

This time, the wharf was built to manage the rice, and two meals a day were given, and all the people who came to work could get a clay pot, and when the time came, they would go to serve the rice in batches, and when they finished the rice, someone would pour a spoonful of vegetables on top of their rice.

This pottery pot was donated by the porcelain shop in the county, and the name of the porcelain shop was printed on it, and when the people received the pottery pot, some people told them the name of the porcelain shop.

And the dish they ate today was pork stewed with dried tofu.

The pork is deboned and diced, and boiled together with the dried tofu that is also diced, and the meat and dried tofu are all mixed together, so it is not easy to have conflicts because of who gets more meat and who gets less meat.

"This dish is so good, too!"

"Can you eat like this for a single meal?"

"Surely not, it's the first day to eat like this, right?"

"This pot is really good, it can hold a lot of rice!"

……

As people were talking, they saw that Gou County Order also came to line up!

Gou County Ling actually ate the same meal as them!

For a while, the people who came to work were moved.

And their admiring and moving eyes also made Gou Xianling feel more and more that he couldn't treat these people badly.

Li Qingzhi saw this situation in his eyes and was in a good mood.

He gave Gou County Order a good reputation in Chongcheng County, and this reputation would set up Gou County's Order and make him a good official.

The big pot of rice doesn't taste good.

It was very troublesome to hull the millet these days, and although the machine with good water power could lick the rice, the efficiency was still very low, so they ate brown rice today.

Diced pork stewed with dried tofu, this is also a very simple dish.

But because of his good mood, Gou Xianling didn't dislike it at all, seeing that the people were so happy to eat, he even planned to donate the gold box that Zhu Qian gave him before to buy pigs for the people to eat.

Ordinary people eat so well, let alone the people in the room!

Jin Dajiang was brought over by the people around Gou County, and Zhu Qian called him a brother, and the guys all thought that he was a big man and was very respectful to him.

He is in the room, even if he doesn't do any work, no one will say anything, but he is not such a person - Jin Dajiang has been working hard.

Even though you have a background, you still work so hard...... The people in the room had a good impression of Jin Dajiang, and when he was eating, Chef Zhou served him two large spoons of dishes.

Jin Dajiang rarely eats so well, and he can't come back to his senses when he holds the rice bowl.

On the other side, after Li Qingzhi finished eating a pot of rice, he went to line up to ask for a pot of rice.

Ordinary people can only serve it once, but he is a person around Gou County, and it is okay to eat a few more pots, of course, in order not to attract the attention of others, he can eat two pots.

Gou Xianling and the others were already dumbfounded-Li Qing's appetite is too good! Li Qingzhi went home after eating, because there were only two meals a day on the dock, and they ate relatively early, and when he went home, Li Damao and the others had not eaten egg fried rice.

Li Laogen is sloppy and may fry eggs and rice...... Li Qing took the initiative to take charge of the spoon and scrambled a pot of egg fried rice with six eggs over low heat for them to eat.

"Ah Qing, the egg fried rice is too fragrant!" Li Laogen didn't raise his head when he ate.

The fried rice was very fragrant, and seeing that the others were enough, Li Qingzhi ate the rest.

Speaking of which, their family's food will not be enough to eat, and it has something to do with him, he is really too good to eat......
