After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 413 Food Expenses
Village chief Yang trotted down the mountain.
Bai Qingyun walked slowly behind, his last words still echoing in his ears.
"No, I have to go to the government office to ask Dashan. I won't wait for him to come home for an answer. I will sit at the tea stall in front of the government office for a while. I will come back when I have the correct answer."
It was not until Bai Qingyun went down the mountain that he saw Village Chief Yang leaving the village from afar.
The Bai family's lunch was very lively. According to the village's agreement, the Bai family was responsible for preparing lunch for the officials in charge of collecting potatoes today, and Grandma Bai had been busy since morning.
The big pot of steamed buns and rice are steamed in advance, then placed in a large wooden barrel and covered with a lid to keep it warm. It is still warm when it is opened at noon.
The dish is simple and large in quantity. It's a big pot of braised wild boar meat, and all you have to do is cut it and serve it on a plate.
Braised pig's trotters, braised pig's head...different parts are put into one plate, and you can make seven or eight plates of braised dishes.
The meatballs made the day before were taken out and processed, fried meatballs, meatball soup...
Potatoes are also ready-made. Pick out a large plate of big, round ones, cut them into shredded potatoes and stir-fry them. It is simple and appetizing.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are now harvested. You can pick them in a bamboo basket and cook them. It is a new experience for everyone.
When Bai Qingyun returned home, it was almost time for dinner, so he invited everyone to come over and have a rest.
The people from the Bai family and the government office had rested, but those who were working were reluctant to leave.
After a whole morning, the dozens of acres of potatoes were about to be harvested. Everyone wanted to take advantage of this time to dig one more bag so that they could earn twenty more cents, so they were reluctant to go home.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this rare and good job was about to end.
There was no other choice, so after the Bai family discussed it, Father Bai took everyone to help with weighing in the afternoon and no longer went to work in the fields.
After a whole morning, the number of potatoes and vegetables piled up against the wall by Bai Qingyun was still considerable.
Seeing that the matter was about to end, the officials no longer rested. They started working after dinner and soon became busy again.
Although there were not many potatoes left, it was almost noon when the last truckload of potatoes was shipped out of Dayang Village.
"Madam Bai, this is the voucher. Please keep it safe. You can exchange it at the government office tomorrow!"
In order to save the burden of transporting the silver today, and because there was only one family's silver, it was decided to just give the receipt, and the Bai family would send someone to pick up the silver.
After all, it is not easy to show off such a large amount of money in front of the whole village. You can go to Jiangzhou City to withdraw it and deposit it directly in a bank.
This way, both phases are cheap.
"Thank you, sir. You have worked hard these past few days." Mrs. Bai was very well-mannered and dignified. She did not show any fear even when facing officials.
Bai's mother brought the younger generations of the family and Bai Yi and others to see them off. Other people from Dayang Village also came to see them off. After these two days of getting along, everyone had a good impression of the adults in Jiangzhou government office.
But because he had witnessed the darkness of officialdom when he was in Bingzhou before, he was still a little timid in his heart.
Now that Bai Mu is in front, she can also give everyone courage.
It was obvious that being able to have the people line the streets to see him off was what the officials wanted to see the most, so they couldn't help but speak more slowly and gently: "We are all following orders. The discovery of high-yield grain in Dayang Village is extremely important to our entire Jiangzhou."
"I hope you can continue to focus on agriculture and cultivate farmland. The rainy season is coming soon. If you sow the seeds before the rain, the seedlings will grow strong and healthy, which will help you fight against the mountain floods during the rainy season."
He is in charge of agriculture and sericulture in Jiangzhou City. Now that he sees that the farmland in the village has not been cultivated yet, he can't help but give some more instructions.
Thinking about how many farmlands would be flooded during the rainy season, the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
This season of the year is their busiest time.
"Excuse me, where is the village chief of Dayang Village?" He thought of something and looked at the crowd, seeing that there was no one he wanted to see, so he couldn't help but ask.
Village Chief Yang followed Bai Qingyun to the ancestral hall in the morning. None of the busy people present today knew about this, so it was naturally difficult to find him now.
Seeing that no one in the crowd spoke, Bai Qingyun was about to explain when he saw a figure jogging on the village road in the distance. He held a cane in his hand and tapped it lightly on the ground for leverage.
Village chief Yang was sweating profusely although he was running. His silver hair showed no signs of fatigue and his eyes were bright. However, he felt a little weak. He stood there panting for a long time while leaning on his crutch before he could speak.
"Don't blame me, sir. I had to go into the city to look for my son, and I just came back now."
"Are you the father of Captain Yang Dashan?" The adult waved his hand to indicate that he would not pursue the matter, but after hearing the other party's words, he still asked.
"Your Excellency, I am Yang Dashan's father, and also the village chief of Dayang Village, Yang Fuhai." Village Chief Yang wiped the sweat off his face and tried to look decent.
Officials would be punished for misbehaving in front of the palace, so common people like them had to maintain their image and etiquette when meeting officials.
Obviously, the other party was very satisfied with many details of Village Chief Yang. Although the other party's etiquette was not up to standard, officials always see more than others.
If you do it intentionally, it's good.
He rarely said a few more words: "Yang Fuhai, you are a lucky man. Your son is also diligent in his work at the government office. I think it's because you taught him well."
There is no one who doesn't like others to praise their children, especially in front of many neighbors.
After hearing this, Village Chief Yang's crutch that was sticking on the ground straightened up like his spine.
"Thank you for your praise, sir. When he returns home, I will definitely tell him to work hard so that he will not let you down."
Village chief Yang did not show favoritism and greeted the other adults on the opposite side.
Such details made everyone very satisfied, and the fatigue on the faces of the adults was quietly replaced by faint smiles.
"Well, we can't stay here for long. We came here to tell you something."
Village Chief Yang quickly responded: "Please give your instructions, sir."
"It's not an order." The man waved his hand and continued, "We should have all eaten in Dayang Village during this period. According to Lord Yu, this is a matter that benefits the country and the people, and it should not be borne by the villagers of Dayang Village."
"Tomorrow you will go to the government office with Madam Bai to settle the food expenses for everyone during this period."
He remembered again and added to Bai's mother: "The Bai family is responsible for the meals today, and you can also go and pick them up tomorrow."
Village Chief Yang quickly declined: "Sir, the government is willing to buy Dayang Village's grain at a high price. This is already a blessing for us. How can we ask the government to pay more money?"
When everyone heard Village Chief Yang say this, they all agreed.
Bai's mother just stood there, knowing in her heart that this excuse would not have much effect, but she still looked consistent with everyone else.
However, the masters have been tired in recent days and are unwilling to say more: "This is what you deserve, come and get it tomorrow."
Then he waved his hand, and the huge team behind him left the village.
