Chapter 451 The Cycling Team
The meal at Xu Yue's house was an unforgettable one for Zhao Yu's family.

When everyone left, Xu Yue gave everyone another pack of instant noodles.

But the youngest son and two grandsons of Zhao Yu's family were very happy.

But cannibals are short-mouthed and short-handed.Although Xu Yue didn't say anything during the meal, Zhao Yu already understood what she meant.

She was telling him that the people in that world lived a truly good life.

There, there are countless delicacies, and these instant noodles, watermelon, and cola are just people who are tired of eating.

After returning home, Zhao Yu asked himself in his heart: Do you yearn for such a world?

After a moment of silence, the villain in his heart told him: Longing!

Even if he can't be a prince or a governor, without so many rights, he still yearns for it.

Just because, in any world, being an ordinary person is more enjoyable than being a prince or a governor!

No wonder, no wonder Xu Yue's family never looked down on their inseparable power status.

Zhao Yu realized it. He even wanted to get up early in the morning and go to the health center built by Xu Jiajun for a physical examination, live a few more years, and strive to see the future of this world.

This feeling was like being possessed by a demon, which made Zhao Yu very excited and itchy.

He got up overnight and soaked the package of spicy beef noodles Xu Yue gave him!

After eating and drinking enough, licking off the last drop of soup, I recollected it and went to sleep contentedly.
.
Xu Jiajun's construction in Zhuo County was on the right track, and all kinds of novelty things that had never appeared in Zhuo County before were continuously sent from Yuyang.

In terms of clothing, Xu Jiajun's sackcloth is cheap and durable, and the common people can afford it.

The quality is so good that the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhao Yu's family can't help but buy a few sets of them as summer clothes for indoors.

In terms of food, there are more tricks, cooking, frying and frying, which is a change from the previous monotonous cooking method.

Of course, it's not that people don't know how to make food delicious. It's just that they couldn't afford iron pots and oil and salt in the past, so they could only cook in white water pottery pots.

Now it's all right, Xu Jiajun brought a lot of iron daily utensils, and oil, salt, and sugar are also cheap, and people are gradually getting used to using woks when cooking.

Not only that, the food shop opened by Xu Jiajun, the stewed meat, marinated water, meat buns, duck blood vermicelli and other snacks in it greatly enriched people's taste.

With more oil and more salt, people gradually gain strength, the body is more nourished, and the face has a complexion.

The abundance of dishes also reduces food consumption.

In the past, people had to eat three bowls of rice to feel full. Now that there is oil and water in the stomach, a meal is only one bowl of white rice, plus half a bowl of vegetables is enough.

People would not have believed it a few years ago that they could eat and clothe themselves just by farming and working.

But seeing his bulging belly, strong hands and feet, and the surplus food stored at home, the people of Zhuo County dared to believe that all this was not a dream.

Xu Jiajun also built a lot of collective dormitories for renters to work in the city. Although the price is not cheap, as long as they work hard in the city, they can afford it.

Besides, this is still the best cement brick house, and the former governor did not even live in it.

However, compared with the previous ones, it is the cement road that benefits the people the most.

The concrete road was built directly from the county town to the entrance of the village, so you don't have to worry about rain or snow, and you don't have to walk on muddy dirt roads when you travel.

The road is easy to walk and the speed is fast.

Places that could not be reached in a whole day in the past, now only take half a day.

Those villagers who have never left the small village in their life can finally see the good scenery outside because of this concrete road.

Some old people walked to the entrance of the village, looked at the vendors carrying their loads, and asked blankly:
"This troubled world is over? Who is the new emperor now? Has the corvee tax been reduced or exempted?"

There is also an old farmer standing on the edge of the field, looking at the green rice fields and asking in a panic:

"Why don't you grow corn in the field? What will you eat this year if you don't plant corn?"

The children who had just finished school in the village and were playing around at the entrance of the village replied: "Old man, the field is planted with fairy rice, which can produce [-] catties per mu!"

"Oh, and now there is no emperor, no corvees, and taxes, but we farmers only need to pay the grain tax."

"My father said that after the grain tax is paid for this autumn harvest, the family's chewing expenses will be deducted. If there is any surplus grain, we will sell it to our family to buy an iron plow."

"In this way, the land at home is well planted. When I turn 20, I will have a bride price to marry Xiaohua from the next village as my daughter-in-law!"

When the villagers heard this, they all laughed.

"You guys, you are born at a good time!"

But not everyone is so optimistic. Some people looked at all this and sighed with reluctance:

"I don't know how long the Xu family's army can last. There are General Gongsun in the north, Cao and Sun in the south, and the emperor is not dead yet. I really can't say for sure in the future."

Hearing this, the laughing villagers stopped, feeling a little worried.

"Yeah, who knows how long Xu Jiajun will last, I'm afraid there will be no time to rejoice, alas~"

Many villagers sighed sadly.

On the contrary, the two dazed old men smiled and persuaded them: "The world has been in chaos for so long, shouldn't we ordinary people still live in the same way?"

"Why don't you live? Now that Xu Jiajun is still there, let's live a good life with Xu Jiajun. We will talk about it later when we have a hard time!"

"Okay, you worry about it, old man, I'll go and see what this fairy rice looks like."

Leaning on crutches, the two old men wandered off to the field.

The young people looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the only old man in the two villages together, and suddenly felt that waiting for someone was a bit funny.

He is young, full of vigor, and has attended a literacy class, yet he is not as illiterate as a trembling old man.

"Hey! Big guys, take a look!"

Suddenly, a child pointed to a team on the main road at the entrance of the village, and shouted in surprise, "What is that?"

The villagers looked over curiously.

I saw a group of Xu Jiajun riding on the strange things with two wheels, staring with their feet, whistling past the village at an extremely fast speed.

The children chased after them out of curiosity, but they could only see the convoy driving into the sunset and disappearing at last.

They stopped panting, and excitedly said to the villagers who were chasing them:
"Yes, it's the magic chariot used by Xu Jiajun's signal soldiers...!"

After being reminded by the children, the villagers all remembered.

"Before when Xu Jiajun came to the village to deliver messages, he seemed to be riding an iron guy. The two wheels grunted and then flew out. What's that called?"

Someone rushed to answer: "Bicycle!"
