Farming in space: Nongmen Fufei is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 223

So Lu Gang directly transferred a reliable cook trained by Yan Guilou from outside to take charge of three meals a day for Lu's and Ye's houses.

But after working in Yan Guilou for a while, the cook got used to the need to arrange dishes, and Ye Zhen's family has all kinds of special dishes, so the dishes served look very classy!
The village chief, the clan chief, and the clan elders were not polite, and moved their chopsticks one after another. After a short time, they ate until their stomachs were full.

Ye Zhen served tea again, and asked everyone to drink tea to digest food, and then she began to talk about the reason why she invited them over.

Hearing that Ye Zhen said that he wanted to repair the roads in the village, the teacup in front of the patriarch trembled, and the hot tea splashed out, making him hiss, but he ignored the burning of his hands and stared at Ye Zhen Question: "Girl Ye Zhen, are you talking about building roads for the village?"

It would be a lie to say that the village chief never thought of such a thing.

Looking at the bluestone road from the entrance of the village to Hongye Town, the village chief lamented that after Ye Zhen was smart, generous and public-minded, he actually thought in his heart that it would be great if all the roads in the village were bluestone roads.

You must know that people in the village drive cattle and sheep all over the place on weekdays, chicken droppings and duck droppings are everywhere, and the dirt road is dirty with cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

The weather is fine on weekdays. Even if there is cow dung, the villagers will pick it up with hoes and throw it into the field to use as fertilizer.

But it will be troublesome when it rains: the mud is soaked by the rain, and people and animals step on it back and forth, and the road is full of muddy mud. If you step down, the insteps will not fall off!

Few people are willing to wear cloth shoes on this kind of road. Cloth shoes are easy to break after washing too much, so when it rains, everyone can only wear straw sandals, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter!

At this time, the village head longed for the day when the roads in the village could be paved with bluestone slabs, and the ground would be flat, so that he would no longer have to step on mud and cow dung when walking!
However, it is not a small amount of money to cover the village with bluestone slabs, and it is necessary to mobilize the villagers to work together.

Now everyone in the village has work to do. They are all building a three-story green brick house on the roadside of Ye Zhen's house, or building a library in Hongye Academy, and some women help cook in Hongye Academy...

Everyone is making money too!Who cares how hard it is to walk on the little dirt road under your feet?Haven't all the country folks come here for so many lifetimes? !
Road construction delays making money!
The village chief also wanted Ye Zhen to pay for the road repair.

But Ye Zhen doesn’t owe anything to the village, and they even let the children in the village go to Hongye Academy to study, although many of the children who study are from farming and studying classes, they only know a few words, can count, and learn some farming and mulberry farming work, identify some herbs and so on...

But every child who came out of the farming and reading class was obviously much more sensible!Making money is a lot more than doing coolies!

Niu Dan, the younger brother of the naughty Gousheng family in the past, now works as a clerk in the Hongye Inn in the town since he can read and count, earning two taels of silver every month!

This is much better than being a coolie!

Therefore, the village chief couldn't open his mouth: people can't be too greedy, if they are greedy because of Ye Zhen's generosity, they will offend people in the end!
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen actually took the initiative to talk about this matter today!
The village head was suddenly excited: "You... what you said is true? You want to help the villagers repair these roads in the village?"

Ye Zhen nodded, and said seriously: "I am willing to pay for the bluestone slabs, but the road construction requires the efforts of the villagers, and each household sends people to do it."

The village chief suddenly became embarrassed: "But your construction site is busy now, and they want to work on the construction site to earn money, I'm afraid they would rather walk on a dirt road than take the effort..."

Ye Zhen laughed: "It doesn't matter if my construction site is a few days late, if every household in the village contributes a strong laborer, the road will be paved soon."

The village head is still in a dilemma: You are willing, but the villagers may not be willing!

It's just that the village chief can't say that, after all, Ye Zhen is only thinking about the villagers, but the villagers are not necessarily willing to cherish this kindness for their own two days' wages.

Ye Zhen, however, saw the embarrassment of the village chief, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, village chief, I won't make it difficult for you. In this way, we will hold a village meeting tonight on the big square in front of Hongye Academy. Let me talk about my idea, if it works, if everyone is willing to do it, we will do it. If someone is not willing, then we will not do it. After all, I will not be the one who suffers, right?"

Speaking of this, what else can the village chief say?

As for the patriarch and the elders, they were completely pulled over to be witnesses. Seeing Ye Zhen's grandeur, they were so impressed that they all nodded and stroked their beards: "Our old Ye family has a girl like you. , is the blessing of our Lao Ye family! Thanks to your father for adopting you back then!"

"You are really the lucky star of our old Ye family! Look at the changes in the village over the past year..."

Compliments or something, just listen to it, if you listen to it, then you are too naive.

Ye Zhen saw off the guests with a smile.

Not long after, the village head beat the gong and shouted all the way from the village head to the tail: "Today evening, the villagers' meeting will be held in the square in front of Hongye Academy. There is something important to announce..."

When the sound of gongs and shouts passed by the door of Ye Zhen's house, Ye Zhen and Lu Chengze were sitting opposite each other in the study, drinking tea by the short table by the window.

Lu Chengze familiarly picked up the teapot in his hand and poured tea for Ye Zhen. When the tea was poured and Ye Zhen reached for it, Lu Chengze immediately put down the teapot and held Ye Zhen's hand, with a complaining tone in his mouth: "Why? Sit across from each other?"

Ye Zhen looked up at the sky and rolled her eyes: "Then where should I sit?"

Lu Chengze: "Sit next to me."

Ye Zhen smiled, "Are you sure?"

Lu Chengze: "Sure!"

Ye Zhen: "...Okay."

So following the force of Lu Chengze's big hand, Ye Zhen changed the seat smoothly and sat next to Lu Chengze.

Satisfied now, Lu Chengze hugged Ye Zhen in his arms, like coaxing a child, took a cup of tea for Ye Zhen to drink, then picked up a small cake and put it in Ye Zhen's mouth .

After Ye Zhen ate it obediently, Lu Chengze put his chin on the crown of Ye Zhen's hair, kneaded her weak and boneless little hand with his big hand and asked, "Why?"

Ye Zhen was so tossed by his completely enveloping movements that he couldn't concentrate, and asked blankly, "Why?"

"Why do you want to pave the way for the village?" Of course Lu Chengze knows that Ye Zhen is not short of money, but even if she is not short of money, it does not mean that Ye Zhen is a spender. On the contrary, Ye Zhen never spends money that should not be spent. .

Ye Zhen has never had the kind of thing where she burns and messes around when she has money.
