“Watch him stand up from the pavilion, watch him entertain the company, watch his constructing collapse …”
On the stage, a play that had been handed down for 100 years was being chanted. No matter what the content material was, the viewers members have been all extraordinarily severe.
A few of those that got here from the outer villages to hearken to the present, dragged their households together with them and sat on the bottom with no chair. They did not care about how they sang and cheered.
It was nonetheless sizzling in mid-August. Thankfully, the timber have been very efficient in blocking the solar. Sometimes, there can be a breeze blowing by, bringing a refreshing feeling with it.
Jiaoniang arrange a frying pan on the precise aspect of the stage whereas she stood guard on the stall. Tieh Dan had lengthy taken up a great place within the first row with Orchid Flower. Beneath Wu Sinan’s ft, these folks acknowledged Tieh Dan and laughed whereas patting his head.
“younger girl, give me 5 extra skewers of this fried tofu!” Floating Stone hurriedly known as out to Jiaoniang. He wasn’t standing too far-off. The second the wind blew, the perfume would instantly unfold below his nostril. It was extraordinarily alluring.
The younger grasp of his home was fortunate to have the ability to sit there and hearken to the present whereas feeling a bit glad. Not solely did he need to run errands, however he additionally did not have a spot to eat.
Jiaoniang shortly fried tofu for him whereas gesturing for Ye Xuan to open the urn beside him. Inside have been ice and fish, “How about a couple of strings of small fish?” It is even higher than tofu! “
Floating Stone noticed that her stall wasn’t massive, so she offered fairly quite a lot of issues. She did not know the way that black sauce was made, nevertheless it smelled so alluring.
He clenched his tooth and mentioned, “Then give me two extra small fish. Is there the rest?”
“Would you like fried dumplings?”
“Sure.”
“Then I will fry two extra bunches of greens so that you can eat. It may additionally assist you to do away with your boredom.”
After the explosion, Jiaoniang used a white porcelain bowl to place all the things he had ordered into it, “A complete of 12 cash, however there is no want to present me our relationship. “Go forward and eat.”
Jiaoniang smiled and mentioned a couple of phrases of courtesy. She was honest, however Fushi was additionally a great individual. He instantly took out twelve cash and positioned it on the desk. “I feel you’ve got simply began your enterprise. How are you going to not pay?”
With that mentioned, he took the bowl and squatted below the tree to begin consuming. Jiaoniang used her hand to fan herself towards Ye Xuan so she may relaxation. Ye Xuan calmly held her waist, nearly lifting her up.
Wu Sinan was used to listening to performs within the capital, so he naturally felt bored when he got here to the countryside to pay attention to those fashionable voices. Nevertheless, since everybody else was listening severely, he felt too embarrassed to stand up and disturb them.
When he regarded round, he discovered a white porcelain bowl consuming one thing below a tree. There was black sauce round his mouth and he was a bit offended. He did not even know that this canine known as grasp when it was good to eat. Coincidentally, one other gust of wind blew by, and he additionally smelled the perfume of the fried meals. This time, he could not tolerate it anymore, so he acted unexpectedly in direction of Lord Liu, permitting Tieh Dan to maneuver away from his ft and run away.
As he was consuming earnestly, a shadow all of the sudden appeared in entrance of his eyes. He raised his head and noticed his scrumptious grasp watching him with a face filled with anger. He smiled in embarrassment and handed the bowl over. “Would you prefer to attempt it?”
Wu Sinan did not thoughts the grime and instantly picked up a frozen tofu along with his hand and threw it into his mouth. Frozen tofu may already soak up the sauce, so after being fried, it utterly wrapped up the sauce. A mouthful of the scrumptious sauce exploded in Wu Sinan’s mouth, inflicting the tofu to be crisp and chewy. At that second, he did not know what to say.
Nevertheless, they could not bear to purchase an excessive amount of. Solely the youngsters cried and clamored for meals, and solely the household was keen to spend a couple of cash to purchase a string of tofu, a string of tofu had 5 items, the adults tasted one, and the remaining have been all given to the youngsters.
It was not even midday but, however many of the Frozen Tofu that Jiaoniang introduced was already offered. Solely Wu Sinan and his servant had ordered one-third of it.
Discovering a farmhouse to scrub his arms, Wu Sinan walked over whereas waving his fan. He coughed and mentioned, “I heard from Qiao Ke that most of the dishes within the restaurant have been cooked by you. I did not anticipate you to be so succesful.”
Jiaoniang rolled her eyes at him. Not less than the 2 of them knew one another.
“You do not know if I can cook dinner? What’s it you eat in my home? “
Wu Sinan rubbed his nostril, “How is that this tofu of yours made? Why are there holes within the tofu?” “If it is used to make soup, it will even be fairly good.”
Jiaoniang smiled complacently at his phrases. “Not less than you will have good eyes. If you happen to do not come again as we speak, come to my home. I’ve one thing new to eat for you. There are nonetheless some issues I need to focus on with you.”
Due to this, Jiaoniang had Qiao Ke and her uncle come over from the county to purchase lots of contemporary components, which have been saved at Chief Lin Rui’s home. She additionally discovered lots of girls with fast arms and legs to assist with the cooking.
The associated fee was naturally from Jiaoniang’s donation. That cash was greater than sufficient to purchase this stuff.
Wu Sinan’s eyes turned inexperienced the second he heard there was contemporary meals. He walked from the desk to Jiaoniang’s aspect and requested whereas ignoring Ye Xuan’s murderous eyes, “Are you aware how a lot Zhu Zixiu acquired this time?”
Jiaoniang smiled barely. Liu Jiqing ordered Zhu Zixiu to collect a big donation from the county to restore the irrigation system. If there weren’t sufficient advantages, who can be keen to offend so many individuals in a single go?
It was a pity that there have been solely two paths that led to the surface world by the Qingyuan County. The primary was a land highway, and to succeed in town by land, one must climb over two mountains, not solely would they need to undergo Gourd Cross’s bandit residence, however they’d additionally need to undergo numerous risks within the mountains.
This was additionally an vital supply of earnings for the county workplace. Zhu Zixiu initially had management over greater than eighty % of the transport prices for the Qingyuan County, so he solely wanted to attract out a price each month to help a sure variety of households.
Though their Qingyuan County was sealed and the distinction between wealthy and poor was large, these folks nonetheless had a tacit understanding to not oppress the poor to the purpose that they could not reside.
For instance, a big household would not casually take over a commoner’s land, and an odd household may do many issues apart from farming to promote, forming a virtuous circle.
“Sure.”
Nevertheless, due to this, her Qingyuan County have been like a pool of stagnant water, making it unimaginable for Jiaoniang to maintain the water alive.
After enthusiastic about it, it appeared that he may solely join the road that led to the surface world with Zhu Zixiu, attempt his finest to “appeal to enterprise and capital”, carry within the issues outdoors, and let the folks in Qingyuan County go away. Solely once they began shifting would the funds circulation usually.
