Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

"I heard that the minimum cost is five thousand taels of silver. Are they spending so much money to buy this official to benefit the people, or to make money?"

"A person like County Magistrate Zhuang, who came from a serious imperial examination background and was a prostitute after all, was sent to such a far away place to be a small county magistrate. Not only did he lose his official position, but he almost lost his life."

"Among the hundreds of officials in the capital, there is no one who came from a humble family and stayed in the imperial examination. They are all descendants of aristocratic families, and each has his own faction. They are fighting like crazy dogs. It is not a good place to stay in the capital. Fighting If you win, you will be promoted, if you lose in a fight, you will lose your official position and your family will be confiscated, and if you lose, you will be executed."

"Fight, how dare you not to fight? If you don't fight, there will be no way to survive."

"It's hard not to take sides. If you don't take sides, everyone will want to pull you down and replace you with someone else."

Ke Xiucai shook his head, "Why else do you think Doctor Zhou resigned?"

Ke Muqing nodded, probably this person wanted to harm that person, and then wanted to get Dr. Zhou to help. Dr. Zhou was the person who hated these messy schemes the most. After thinking about it, he naturally resigned and took the whole family away. Right and wrong.

Now that we know that county magistrates are bought with money, the words and deeds of these county magistrates suddenly make sense. They are all for money, otherwise who would be this bullshit county magistrate?

How many people can care about the people like Zhuang Tiannan?
In troubled times, good people cannot go far or live long.

Ke Muqing and a few others were sitting here chatting. Chen Hu happened to pass by and listened for a while, so he came over.

"The village that blocked our road before was made up of people who had just been released from the county jail. Two of them were originally from that village, and there were a few who had left the county jail and had nowhere to go, so they followed their colleagues. The prisoners returned to the village together."

"Before stopping us, the villagers arrested many passers-by, some of whom were passing businessmen, and some of whom were ordinary people who wanted to flee to live with their relatives. They reaped the benefits, so they were emboldened. Even our government officials dared to stop us."

"Of those who were robbed, some dropped their luggage and ran away, saving their lives, while some wanted money rather than their lives and were directly killed by those people who had just come out of prison."

"After they grabbed something, those few people would share some of the sweetness with the people who helped them do it. When the people in the village saw that they could get money and food, they followed suit, and in the end they simply listened to the arrangements of those few people. ”

Chen Hu interjected a few words and then swaggered away, leaving Ke Muqing and the others looking at each other.

I really never expected this series.

It was very late, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed. Ke Muqing returned to the tent, where several children were surrounding Feng Ying and talking about the taste of milk tea.

Everyone has some weird stuff in their head, and they want to cook everything with milk.

"Grandma~"

As soon as Yang Chengzhuo saw Ke Muqing come back, he took his younger brother Yang Chengzhi to find Ke Muqing. The two brothers held Ke Muqing's hand, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Grandma, shall we have milk tea tomorrow? Mom said there is still some milk in the bucket." Yang Chengzhuo shook Ke Muqing's hand, "Grandma, what does the shrimp taste like? Are they really that delicious?"

"How did you hear about the taste of shrimp?" Leng Buding heard the child mention shrimp and Ke Muqing was shocked.

The Yang family is located in the north, and seafood is almost invisible to ordinary people.

Before the drought, I could occasionally catch some fish from the river. This was considered the best river food for ordinary people.

"The children of Yuan Wai Lang's family said it." Yang Shuangshuang responded from the side, "When we were chatting outside just now, those annoying people came over by themselves. We said the milk tea was delicious, they said the bird's nest was delicious, and we They said the roasted chicken was delicious, but they said the sea shrimps were even better. They also said we were wild boars and couldn’t eat fine chaff, and called us untouchables. It’s really annoying!”

After saying that, Yang Shuangshuang asked Ke Muqing, "Grandma, Uncle Yang said that bird's nests are the saliva of swallows. What's so delicious about that stuff? These people are just lying to us, right?" Zheng Qiushuang said, "I heard that the empress in the palace makes it every day They eat bird's nests, so all the ladies look very beautiful."

"I've heard people say that eating bird's nest can keep you young forever." Feng Ying added, "We ordinary people have never seen it, and we don't know whether it is true or false."

"Mom, it must be a lie!" Yang Shuangshuang covered her mouth and laughed, "Look at those Yuan Wai Lang's families. Their children all said that they used to eat bird's nests as food. Look at the people in Yuan Wai Lang's family. They are different. Are you old? Their grandma is older than our grandma."

"..." Very good, the eldest granddaughter is very smart.

Ke Muqing touched his face.

Whether bird's nest is good or not is a topic that is still being debated in the 21st century.

Some people say that bird's nest is an IQ tax.

But leaving aside the question of whether bird's nest is really nutritious and simply talking about its taste, Ke Muqing ate it once when she was socializing in a hotel. Not to mention, it tasted really good.

Originally, Ke Muqing had never been greedy for bird's nest after being here for so long.

But a few children mentioned it, and Ke Muqing was suddenly greedy.

Ke Muqing patted his thigh, "Are you all curious? Oops! What do you think is a coincidence? I really brought bird's nests and dried shrimps back today! You didn't mention it and I forgot about it!"

Ke Muqing stood up and said to his sisters-in-law Feng Ying, "I'm going to get you a face wiper, and take out the bird's nest and dried shrimp on the way. Get up early tomorrow and let's taste the taste of bird's nest and shrimp!" "

"Grandma, let's go too!" Yang Chengzhuo shouted.

"It's dark outside and they're all waiting in the tent. I can't throw them away." Ke Muqing was afraid that the child would really follow, so he quickly opened the curtain and ran away.

She brought the things back, and Ke Muqing had the final say as to what and how much.

Ke Muqing bought some bird's nests and dried shrimps from the buyer's version of the system mall. After searching, he also bought some other dried seafood.

She didn't often eat seafood when she lived in the 21st century, so she rarely thought of seafood when she came here.

It’s definitely not possible to bring out fresh seafood, but you don’t have to worry about dry goods.

Ke Muqing returned to the tent with a large cloth bag, and first took out a few bottles of Baihua ointment and handed them to Feng Ying, "You two can use them and wipe them on the children every day."

Feng Ying paused for a moment while holding the bottles in her arms. Before she even opened the jar, she could smell the fragrance of the paste inside, which was a strong floral fragrance.

The children were not interested in the inedible food. Instead, they squatted beside Ke Muqing and waited for Ke Muqing to continue taking out things.

"This is dried fish. Add some chili pepper and fry it. It will be fragrant. It can also be eaten as a snack."

"These are dried sea shrimps. One is as big as the palm of your hand. Look, if you add a handful of these to soup or vegetables, they will be so fresh that you can eat them all on your tongue."

The children's eyes were wide open. They looked at Ke Muqing for a while, then looked at what Ke Muqing took out, and then listened to what Ke Muqing said. They couldn't imagine how delicious it must be when Grandma said it was delicious.
