"The general is fine, can't he come over?"

It was an adjutant next to him who said this, wearing a red-tasseled iron helmet, and his fluttering words made Zheng Youhai's cold sweat a few more drops.

"How could it be, General Gu came to the next official for fear of losing his welcome, please-"

After Zheng Youhai finished speaking, General Gu turned over and dismounted, striding inside.

"I heard that several villages under the jurisdiction of Qingshan County have collapsed, and the general has returned from Fucheng to understand the situation." Once inside, the adjutant made it clear what he was trying to do.

Zheng Youhai immediately said yes, and then reported several villages affected by the disaster.

Gu Xiancheng listened, his brows gradually frowned: "It's so serious, why don't you send someone to repair it later?" ”

Zheng Youhai hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan has already sent someone over to comfort the villagers, but it's just ...... It's just that this road repair needs strong men, and you also know that this Qingshan County was conscripted two years ago, and all the men who could work were enlisted, and now it is really difficult to find people to go to......"

When Gu Xiancheng heard this, he was silent for a moment: "How many villagers have been affected by the disaster, but there are casualties?" ”

"There are no casualties! In the three villages combined, there are about a dozen families, the most serious should be Chenjia Village, where the houses of two or three families were directly washed away by the mud and rocks, and the lower officials first resettled the victims, and their houses may have to be repaired together......

Gu Xiancheng nodded, and asked again: "Where is Chenjia Village?" ”

"Qingshan County is the northernmost part! Speaking of which, it is the closest to the place where the Chengyang Army is stationed! ”

……

When this group of evil gods walked out of the county office, Zheng Youhai breathed a sigh of relief, and the master of the county government also breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I didn't expect General Gu to be willing to send people over to help the disaster, now you can finally rest assured."

Zheng Youhai: "Peace of mind! What is he, what is I? General Gu personally intervened in this matter, do you think I can still sit on the Taishi chair? Hurry up and find someone for this official! ”

This master was disciplined, and he didn't dare to speak like a grandson, and he himself happened to be surnamed Sun, and muttered in a low voice after Zheng Youhai left: "What identity...... Isn't he just a reckless man, he Gu Xiancheng can have today's position, but it's just luck......"

Of course, he didn't dare to say it out loud, and after muttering a few words, he quickly followed.

-

Chenjia Village.

Today is the day set by the village chief, early in the morning, Du and Tiangu set off, this competition, mainly three families, in addition to Du's, there are Xiujuan's sister-in-law and Zhang's widow, the situation of the three families is similar, the man is not there, and the child is still young.

The courtyard gate of the village chief's house was crowded with people watching the excitement, and Tiangu and Du were the only second to come, and after arriving, many village women came to inquire with a smile.

These people are not only curious about the Du family, but even more curious about Tiangu, since they knew that Tiangu could go to the army to be a cook, they couldn't be extremely envious.

What a job that is...... Why can't it be their turn, if they can go to the army, maybe they can reunite with their own men......

So they looked at Tiangu's eyes red one by one, and they wanted to go up to climb the relationship, in case this good thing would be their turn in the future.

As for the stall, they also want to do it, but the village chief said that it is only for orphans and widows, and they are either able to make money when the baby is older, or the man did not go out at the beginning, and he didn't even have the qualifications anyway.

After a while, Wang Xiujuan also came, she seemed to be full of confidence when she came, and she also looked at Du Shi and Song Tiangu proudly, and Tiangu noticed that she was carrying a pot and didn't know what to do.

Village Chief Chen coughed twice: "What about the situation in this village, you probably all know, don't say I'm biased, the most difficult thing in our village is them, so let's use the method of competition today to decide who this stall belongs to." ”

"Village chief, what is it for!"

Village Chief Chen: "It's like two pasta, and it's not suitable to sell complicated food at the stall at the entrance of the village, so it's mainly to sell pasta, and you each make two good dishes, come out and let the big guy comment." ”

Du Shi was happy when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to give Tiangu a thumbs up immediately, Tiangu motioned for her to cheer, and he stepped aside.

The three of them began to get busy, and everyone around them was looking, but only Chen Dayong hesitated for a moment, but still walked to Tiangu's side.

Tiangu was still holding Xiaobao, looking a little embarrassed.

"I heard you're leaving soon? Are you really going to go to the army? ”

Tiangu didn't look at him, her attention was on the courtyard: "Yes, I was going to leave the day before yesterday, but the road suddenly collapsed, so I can only wait." ”

"In fact, the place where the Chengyang Army is stationed is still in the north, and it is extremely desolate, you are a woman, it is inconvenient to do anything, do you really want to go?"

Tiangu nodded: "Yes, I really want to go." ”

Chen Dayong was still unwilling, and continued to persuade: "Actually, if you are willing to stay in Chenjia Village, you can also participate in this booth this time, your craftsmanship should be the best, and Xiaobao is still ......."

Tiangu finally turned her head to look at him: "Brother Chen, don't say it, I appreciate your kindness, but I went to the Chengyang Army not only to make a living, but also to find relatives." ”

Hearing the word "looking for relatives", a trace of complexity flashed in Chen Dayong's eyes, his lips moved, and he didn't say what he wanted to say next, he didn't say it, and Tiangu pretended not to know.

In the courtyard, the widow of the Zhang family had already finished it first, she obviously didn't prepare it well, and simply made a bowl of shredded noodles with sauerkraut and pork, but all the ones she tasted were said to be salty.

"Oh, how much salt have you put in this! Salty to death! ”

Widow Zhang was nervous: "Is it too salty?" ”

"It's not just salty, your noodles are also hard! The noodles are not sent! ”

Everyone laughed, and Widow Zhang couldn't hold her face on her face: "Then our family eats this!" I'm used to eating! ”

"No, no, no."

Even the village chief shook his head continuously, Widow Zhang angrily threw away her chopsticks and turned to leave, and everyone's eyes focused on Du Shi and Wang Xiujuan.

Du Shi still decided to make cold skin and wontons, and Wang Xiujuan's side obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Someone saw her soup and water, and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you make something good?" ”

Wang Xiujuan sneered: "It's not good, you'll know after you eat it in a while." ”

Tiangu can see from her way of rolling ramen and seasoning that she should make Yangchun noodles, many people think that Yangchun noodles are simple soy sauce noodles, but in fact they are not. The really good Yangchun noodle soup is fresh and fresh, light and refreshing, and the ingredients and broth are very exquisite.

No wonder she just brought a pot over, it should be the soup stock that was boiled in advance, it seems that for this stall, the other party has also made a lot of money and made sufficient preparations.

After a quarter of an hour, both sides were ready.

What Du Shi did was the cold skin and wontons that Tiangu taught her yesterday, it looked like she was light and spicy, quite appetizing, and then looked at Wang Xiujuan's side, a bowl of Yangchun noodles, plus an egg pancake.

The people in the village all came forward to try it, they tasted Du's first, and everyone felt ordinary when they ate the wonton soup, but when they ate the cold skin, their eyes lit up instantly.

"This noodle is interesting! The taste is chewy, sour and spicy, what is this?! ”

Du Shi smiled and introduced: "It's cool skin!" It's made by washing your face! Thinking about summer, most of the people who come are tired from traveling, and eating this appetizing and cool! ”

"Not bad." The village chief nodded, Wang Xiujuan glanced at Du Shi and Tiangu, muttered something in a low voice, everyone walked to her side, and Wang Xiujuan immediately put on a smiling face.

"Village chief, you taste it, I have put a lot of thought into this Yangchun noodle."

Everyone walked over and smelled it, indeed, they could smell a rich fragrance before they tasted it with chopsticks, and when they really ate it in their mouths, everyone's eyes also showed amazement.

Wang Xiujuan glanced at Du Shi proudly.

"This tastes ......"

Wang Xiujuan couldn't wait to introduce: "I hung the soup stock for four hours!" Chicken feet, pork bones, and beef bones are boiled, can it be delicious! ”

Du Shi was obviously a little frustrated, and looked at Tiangu, but Tiangu smiled at her.

The village chief seemed to be thinking about something.

"What do you think?"

Most of the villagers didn't have many opportunities to taste the food, and they were obviously hesitating at the moment: "This Yangchun noodle is still slightly better, right?" Fresh! The ravioli is a little worse than that. ”

"But Sister-in-law Du's cool skin is delicious! I like spicy food! ”

Everyone, you and I said a word, and just when the village chief couldn't make up his mind, Tiangu spoke: "Village chief, if you can't vote, it's fair." ”

Village Chief Chen's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, just vote." ”

Tiangu continued: "The essence of Yangchun noodles is the broth, and Xiujuan's sister-in-law is really good at this noodle, but I don't know how much these broths cost?" ”

As soon as Tiangu's voice fell, the people in the entire courtyard were stunned.

That's right, what chicken bones, duck bones, pig bones, beef bones, how much does it cost?! How much can this bowl of noodles sell for?!

Wang Xiujuan's face has obviously changed, although the stall at the head of the village is privately operated, but it also has to be shared with the village, this good guy, high cost and low return, can they do it?

The villagers looked at Du Shi, and Du Shi understood: "Village chief, this cool skin is made of flour, you have to wash your face constantly, the process is more complicated, this dish is courgette, bean sprouts, not worth a few dollars, and this wonton, I don't have any bones......"

Everyone had a number in their hearts, and soon, the voting results came out, and the stall at the entrance of the village belonged to Du's.

Du Shi couldn't believe it for a long time after hearing the result, and only began to grin after reacting for a while, and the village chief also smiled and nodded: "This cool skin is really good, summer is coming, and it will definitely be popular if it is sold with mung bean porridge." ”

Wang Xiujuan was also incredible, and she didn't believe that she had lost. She stood aside with her mouth open, and Village Chief Chen walked up to her and said comfortingly: "You are attentive, but unfortunately it is not suitable, I can't help it, I will give priority to you next time I have a chance." ”

Wang Xiujuan is unwilling!

"Village chief, I went to the county seat to study! This pot of broth cost three taels of silver! ”

Three twos!? Everyone in the village took a breath of cold air.

"Why are you so rich to get this! We can't make that much money! ”

"That's it! Let's sell it out, it's a few pennies and a few pennies, why are you ...... it?"

Wang Xiujuan finally reflected what kind of mistake she had made, she was unwilling, she looked at Du Shi and Tiangu jealously.

Du Shi had already happily run to Tiangu's side: "Sister! Thank you, thank you so much! ”

Tiangu smiled: "It's also your own serious efforts." ”

Village Chief Chen walked over and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and see the stalls at the entrance of the village now!" ”
