The corn that has just been picked from the field is put directly into the large pot and covered with a layer of corn leaves.

After the pot is boiled, the fragrance of corn is everywhere in the kitchen.

Mr. Pang stroked his beard, looked at Li Hui and said:

"Once we succeed in promoting corn this year, you and Qinglin will be rewarded. Are you ready?"

When Li Hui heard this, he frowned and said in disbelief:

"Isn't the term of office five years? I have only been in office for more than two years, and there is still a lot of things that have not been done. Do you think you can help me?"

This was the first time he asked Mr. Pang for convenience.

The fertilizer workshop was already somewhat famous, but it failed to live up to expectations. Next year will be the key year for rapid development. If he is transferred before then, it will be really frustrating.

I thought the old man would agree, but he just shook his head.

"Hakunin, I can't help you this time, especially after seeing how the corn is growing today. You must leave after the autumn harvest."

As soon as these words came out, Li Hui stood there motionless as if he had been petrified.

Mr. Pang knew that it was difficult for him to accept it for a while, but putting him in this place was overqualified. After stabilization, what the Liangyan Dynasty lacked most was bold, careful and unfettered people. The discomfort was temporary, and he could only feel sympathy in his heart.

Cheng Yao made a table full of corn dishes, from fried corn to roasted corn, to fried corn, corn mash buns...

Mr. Pang's favorite thing to eat is glutinous corn paste buns, but he is old and has a moderate appetite, so he is allowed to eat two.

"This thing is really good. I heard that the pole can also feed cows and horses?"

Cheng Xue nodded and said "Yeah":

"Corn stalks can be fed to livestock, and dried and can be used to make fires. Corn roots are dug out in spring and burned, and mixed with fertilizer to make crops grow well."

The two smiled and chatted, but Li Hui was obviously not interested. Now all he can think about is staying, but he can't think of a way...

……

The Dragon Boat Festival was coming in the blink of an eye. Cheng Xue prepared medicinal materials and ingredients and took them to Jishan Hall just like last year.

The little girls get two cents for each one they make, which they save completely by themselves. It can be used for dowry or to buy rouge.

As soon as I entered the garden, I heard Yuan Tao complaining that the old people who had been recovered were ungrateful and harmful to others.

I can tolerate it for a day or two, but it's been more than a year and it's still the same, so I really can't get used to it.

"The head of the family..."

"Stop talking, it's useless to say anything. The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner. This year, my wife will definitely need these little girls to do the work. I must say it. Wife, you should know that I am not afraid of serving others, but I feel uncomfortable serving these old white-eyed wolves."

"Then I won't serve you anymore."

Cheng Xue's calm voice immediately made the couple come out of the warehouse.

"Meet Madam."

Seeing the couple saluting respectfully, Cheng Xue stepped forward and said:

"Everyone, get up. Brother Yuan Tao has been wronged."

"Thank you for your understanding, madam." Yuan Tao was no longer humble this time, he was really angry.

Cheng Xue sighed and shook his head at Yuan Tao's wife who was hesitant to speak.

"How many ungrateful old people are there? How old are they? How are they able to take care of themselves?" "More than thirty, in their fifties. Ten of them are bedridden. Others can still move and walk."

Yuan Tao goes there to take care of her every day and knows the situation there very well.

"On weekdays, I only have a few boys to take care of them. With fifteen more children leaving last month, there are not enough manpower."

Cheng Xue nodded understandingly, thought for a moment and said:

"In this way, you can organize people if you can, and I will find jobs for them to support themselves."

Yuan Tao looked troubled and worried.

No wonder his wife always asked him to endure it, but now she is really riding a tiger and can't get off. Just because of taking care of these Beiqi elders, Ji Shan Tang is famous in Fucheng, and their monthly wages are quite high, which is definitely enough to support their family. But if you really send old guys to work, no one will care about the process. What they care about will always be sympathy for the weak.

Alas, completely passive.

"Madam, I am too impulsive. You should..." Take it back.

"I still think they should be allowed to be self-sufficient." Cheng Xue interrupted him with a smile, but her attitude could not be refused.

When Yuan Tao's wife saw this, she quickly said:

"Look at me, I know how happy I am when I see my wife. I should invite you into the room to talk. Madam, let's go in and sit down and talk, okay?"

"Let's chat in the courtyard. It's not hot today, so it's a good time to sit. Do you have any more fruit tea? Make some."

"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute."

After Yuan Tao's wife finished speaking, she winked at her husband, indicating that he must be careful what he said.

There were stone benches and stone tables in the yard. The little girl from Jishantang very thoughtfully brought soft cushions and put them on them, and then went back to the house obediently.

These children include Liangyan people and recovered Beiqi people. It seems that girls are more timid, so the recovered little girls have integrated well and are now completely accustomed to this place. Boys will be a little worse, but they won't be as harmful as old stubborns.

"Yuan Tao, although you and your wife came here because of Liu Yuliang, I am very affirmative and respect your efforts. If those old people are your relatives or your parents, then I can't interfere if you are wronged, because this is Your family affairs.

But now they are not related to you, and they have nothing to do with me. There is no need for me to fall in love with someone cold butt, not to mention that they are not incapable of taking care of themselves. In this case, there is nothing wrong with helping them find jobs to make money to support themselves. "

"Li'er is such a liar, but I'm afraid that if I do that, it will affect your reputation and the reputation of the government."

He knows best what the northern state capital was like. Now that his reputation has finally improved, he doesn't want to fall short. What's more, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are really good people, and he doesn't want to cause them any trouble.

"Don't worry, they have been eating and drinking for free for more than a year. All that need to be taken care of have been taken care of. I will let them out now. No one dares to say anything. If anyone says anything, let him lead the family and make a donation. Otherwise, there will be many Wait for him."

Yuan Tao's wife came out with tea, put it down with a smile, and said:

"Thank you madam for your consideration. We will run Jishan Hall well and strive to be self-sufficient as soon as possible."

Everyone who lives in Jishantang understands what "self-sufficiency" means.

Cheng Xue nodded with a smile and said encouragingly:

"If our Jishantang can really achieve self-sufficiency, then it will be a success. I won't come here much in the future, but there will be supplies for the shop under my name every month. If there is any month where there is no delivery, you guys Just come to me directly and I'll take care of it. The second young lady will go out with Mr. Pang after spending the holidays with the young master and won't be back for a while."

When the couple heard this, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Yes, ma'am, we have taken note of it."

Thanks to Kuxiner for the monthly pass, and thanks to LalaLa-ed for the three monthly passes.
