Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

Yang Yuanzu lowered his head and looked at Lin Ting'an. He suddenly remembered that there was something important that he had not asked, so he asked, "Did it rain in my hometown while I was gone?"

The quail-shaped Lin Ting'an raised his head and said, "No, but we will definitely not be short of water here this year."

"I'm afraid it's just not enough this year."

When Lin Ting'an heard this, she thought for a while and said: "This year, the water in the river only reaches a person's thighs, so it is a bit difficult to drive the trolley. Fortunately, this year's grain tax has not been delayed. If it doesn't rain, it will be possible to grow grain next year." It’s a bit confusing, although we have a reservoir, but keeping people in the reservoir is not a long-term solution.”

Yang Yuanzu replied: "When the time comes, ask Xiaofan to promote awareness of water conservation in the factory. The water that everyone usually uses, such as washing rice and vegetables, washing clothes, face and bathing, can be used to water the ground. This water should be It can also be used to water a vegetable patch.”

Yang Yuanzu thought for a while and then said: "In order to prevent them from wasting water in the future, we will divide the water in the reservoir according to the head."

Lin Ting'an didn't understand why her husband had to do such a thankless job. Even if they didn't build the reservoir, their own well could help them get through the dry season. They didn't rely on river water or the well at the head of the village like other villagers, so Asked: "Husband, are you doing this for a good reputation? Businessmen usually give porridge because a good reputation is good for business. Are you doing this for our family's business?"

Yang Yuanzu shook his head and said: "We live in Fengping Village. When the time comes, everyone will be short of water, but our family will not be short. This way we will easily become the target of public criticism."

It is for this reason that Yang Yuanzu took the lead in organizing everyone in the village to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and other easy-to-fill foods.

In the past three years of severe drought, at least their village is not prone to trouble. As long as there is no chaos in the village, it will not affect their family.

There are two wells in the north and south of their village. Yang Yuanzu's family dug a well at their home for water convenience.

Some people in the village drink well water, while others drink river water, mainly depending on which one is closer to their home.

The reservoir built by Yang Yuanzu was just an extra guarantee, and he himself was not sure whether the water in the reservoir would dry up by then. After all, it was his first time to experience the legendary three-year drought.

The villagers of Fengping Village not only planted high-yielding potatoes and sweet potatoes, they also listened to Li Zheng's instructions and kept the grain they had grown in the past two years. Besides, their village is now rich and has no shortage of money from selling grain.

When Yang Yuanzu went to see Dr. Luo the next day, Luo Mingshi had not come back yet, and Dr. Luo was worried.

After hearing what happened to Yang Yuanzu on the road, Doctor Luo was going to Feige Escort Agency to ask the escort to find his son.

Yang Yuanzu then went to the Yamen to change his identity card. From then on, the scholar's identity card was replaced by the Juren identity card. The back of the Juren identity card also had the word "Xie Yuan" written on it.

Among his family members, only Aunt Chen was registered as a scholar with him. Lin Ting'an liked doing business but still retained a merchant registration. Although the others were merchants, no one in Shunxing County dared to look down upon him.

Yang Huahua liked to open restaurants, and he became a businessman along with Lin Ting'an.

Because of Lin Ting'an's influence, the status of businessmen in Shunxing County is gradually improving.

When Yang Yuanzu returned home, his family was discussing the matter of giving him a banquet to celebrate his victory.

Aunt Chen insisted on doing it, thinking that this kind of thing that honors the ancestors would have to be done on a flowing mat for three days no matter what.

Yang Yuanzu didn't want to hold a banquet because it was troublesome, and since there was a drought everywhere outside, it would be a bit of a publicity thing for them to hold a banquet here.

In his heart, Lin Ting'an also wanted to hold a banquet to show off, but he chose to support Yang Yuanzu.

Yang Huahua felt the same as Lin Ting'an in his heart, but seeing that the elder brother and his wife did not hold a banquet, he also voted against it.

Aunt Chen felt disappointed, and Lin Ting'an suggested: "Why don't we go outside the city gate and give porridge in the name of celebrating my husband's successful election?"

Others thought it was feasible and went ahead with it. Yang Yuanzu took his family to the city gate to give porridge. He originally wanted to leave Lin Ting'an at home, but he was not happy to stay at home alone.

Reluctantly, Yang Yuanzu took Lin Ting'an out and found a tea tent for him to sit at the city gate away from the crowd, while he ran to the other end and started serving porridge.

There are four flags on the porridge tent. One side has the word "giving rice" written on it, the other side has the word "Yang", the other side has the word "Lin", and the other side has the word "Fengping Village".

In order to be inconspicuous, their rice porridge is cooked with a mixture of polished rice and brown rice, with some finely shredded pork mixed in.

The refugees got excited and rushed to squeeze in. Seeing the crowd becoming chaotic, Yang Yuanzu quickly shouted: "No crowding, line up, I guarantee everyone will have something!"

After saying this, Yang Yuanzu saw no reaction from the crowd, so he continued to shout: "Get in line, otherwise I won't come to give porridge tomorrow!" Yang Yuanzu originally wanted to say that he would not come to give porridge today, but he was afraid of causing panic among the refugees, so he changed his words. tomorrow.

The people in front quickly lined up when they heard this, and Yang Yuanzu shouted a few more times before the people behind him heard it.

"This porridge is really hard on my throat. Suning bring me a bowl of water to drink!"

Yang Huahua came close to the side and asked in a low voice: "Brother, don't we just give out porridge for one day?"

Yang Yuanzu replied in a low voice: "There is no other way, if I don't call like that, they will rush over later.

Thinking of the news about doing good deeds and getting into trouble in modern times, Yang Yuanzu said in front of everyone: "This rice is this year's new rice, and the meat is from home-raised pigs. They were killed in the morning. They are all fresh and clean ingredients. There is no problem. Today I Eat this first bowl in front of everyone!"

The meat is made from fresh pork sent to Baiweilou.

After speaking, Yang Yuanzu scooped some from several porridge buckets and poured it into the bowl. He blew on the hot air and drank up the porridge. He lit up the bowl and said, "Start spreading the porridge!"

Auntie Chen and Yang Huahua heard this and started giving porridge to everyone.

The porridge was so thick that an old man who got the porridge first tasted it and shouted in surprise: "There is salt in this porridge!"

Others heard:

"Mr. Lin, the porridge cook, is so kind!"

"You are mistaken. The one who is serving porridge is Mr. Yang, and Mr. Lin is his husband. He is sitting aside and watching us!"

"Mr. Lin is still being supported, but he has some health problem?"

"No, I heard that I'm pregnant. It turns out that a good person has great blessings. I will do more good deeds in the future!"

"Me too. The masters in the monastery all say that doing good deeds will lead to good results."
