Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 415: Recruiting the Workforce
As for the taro, peanuts and burnt taro, Village Chief He had never seen them before. Shen Ping picked up the peanuts, peeled them and put a few peanut kernels into her mouth, which was immediately filled with fragrance.
Village Chief He also tried a few and couldn't stop eating them. They were so delicious that he kept saying, "This is delicious, with a refreshing fragrance."
After hearing what the village chief said, even Captain Li couldn't help it and pulled one out to try it.
"What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Shen Ping said with a smile.
I thought Shen Ping was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that this thing was really delicious. Captain Li excitedly said to County Magistrate Xu: "Sir, Madam Shen is right. This thing is really delicious. In addition to a fresh fragrance, there is also a hint of oil."
County Magistrate Xu also traveled back from the modern times. Of course he knew that all of these could be eaten, but now he had to figure out how to transport these things down the mountain.
Seeing Magistrate Xu deep in thought without saying a word, Shen Ping knew what he was thinking and did not say anything.
Seeing that County Magistrate Xu didn't say anything, Captain Li said, "Sir, if we take all these things back, they will be enough to support the villagers for a while."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking, but we have to dig these things out together, which will definitely require a lot of manpower. Village Chief He, Madam Shen, do you two have any ideas?"
Hearing County Magistrate Xu asking him this, the village chief was flattered. He chewed the peanuts in his mouth and swallowed them. He said seriously, "My idea is that every village will contribute some labor to dig up these things, and then distribute them to every household."
County Magistrate Xu nodded, he had the same idea.
After finishing the handful of peanuts in her hand, Shen Ping threw away the peanut seedlings in her hand, patted the dirt on her hands, and then said calmly: "The village chief is right, but I have one more thing to add, that is, we must build a road."
"Building roads?"
Everyone stared at Shen Ping with eyes wide open.
"Yes, that's right!" Shen Ping nodded and said, "They say that to get rich, you have to build roads first. Even if we dig up all the grain, how can we transport it without roads? By lifting it? By carrying it on shoulders? That's unrealistic!"
Magistrate Xu pondered for a while. He felt that what Shen Ping said made sense. Magistrate Xu made up his mind: "Madam Shen, what do you think we should do?"
Shen Ping looked around at everyone and saw that no one was talking. She knew that they also had this intention, so she continued, "In my opinion, each household in each village should provide one laborer, and we can gather them together.
Assign some people to dig for food, some to build roads, and others to cook. With more people, there is more power. I believe it can be completed in less than ten days. I am willing to pay for the food used during this period. "
"Great! That's great!" County Magistrate Xu was excited. "Well, village chief, you go back and organize a group of people to take care of this place, and then be responsible for digging. I will go back and gather the other village chiefs to organize the manpower to rush over here."
"Okay, let's do this."
Shen Ping nodded and said, "I'll go back and prepare the food for the period, and ask Carpenter Li to make more chicken buses so that it will be convenient to transport the food when the time comes."
Captain Li turned his head to look at the large cassava field and said hesitantly, "How about I stay here and take care of this crop to prevent it from being stolen."
"Okay, let's put it this way, Lord Xu. Without further ado, I'll let Dadong take you back." Having said that, Shen Ping raised her foot and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, young lady!"
Xu Xiangling called Shen Ping to stop him, and the few of them discussed seriously for a while, and finally decided that Captain Li would stay behind to take care of the grain.
Because they found food, everyone felt relaxed, and now that they had a purpose, they went down the mountain much faster, taking nearly half the time than usual.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Shen Ping directed Dadong to send Magistrate Xu back. The village chief returned to the village, rang the gong, and called on everyone to hold a meeting at the gate of the ancestral hall.
After the village chief said this, the crowd suddenly became excited and everyone started talking.
"I didn't expect there was such a place in the back mountain. Why didn't we see it?"
"It's all thanks to Dachun Niang that she found this place. Now we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore!"
At this time, discordant voices appeared in the crowd again. A sharp voice sounded: "Hey, village chief, this mountain behind belongs to our village anyway, can we get more when we distribute the food?"
Everyone looked carefully and found that it was Liao. She really was the one who wanted to meddle in everything.
However, some people thought she was right and whispered in agreement: "I think Liao is right. If it weren't for Dachun Niang's discovery, no one would know there is such a place. What's more, Qingfeng Mountain is our village's backing."
Of course, the Grand Canyon also belongs to our village, so it’s not too much for us to have more, don’t you think?” Huang Jinhua’s sister-in-law Li interrupted.
"Correct!"
"Aunt Liao and Sister-in-law Li are both right." A man's voice sounded.
Everyone looked and found that this was the old bachelor Liu Po Pi in the village. Liu Po Pi was about 50 years old, as his name suggests, thin, and loved to play tricks. When he was young, he was idle. Others looked down on him when they were looking for a marriage partner, and no one wanted to marry into such a family.
His family was not well off, but he was too ambitious and lacked the skills to do any work. He spent his days stealing things. There was only one person in the family, his mother, Feng.
Now that I heard there was food in the back mountain, of course I didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity, so I’d take as much as I could.
"Liu rascal, don't follow Liao's lead and make trouble." The village chief's face darkened.
Liu Popi was not happy: "I am telling the truth, don't be unhappy to hear it. Some people think about it but don't say it. If you don't believe me, ask everyone here if they have such thoughts in their hearts."
After hearing what he said, everyone present fell silent. Yes, these days, who doesn't have too much food and who doesn't want to get more? It would be a lie to say that no one has such thoughts.
The village chief was speechless. He wanted to occupy all these things, but there was no way at the moment. County Magistrate Xu had already known the news. This was not just a matter for their entire village. In addition, he was the village chief and had to take the lead. He could only say this.
He then pulled a sullen face and said coldly, "Liu the scoundrel, Liao, don't blame me for not reminding you. If the county magistrate blames you, I won't bear the responsibility for you.
After being glared at by the village chief, Liu Popi immediately became timid, but seeing that no one else said anything, he did not dare to speak again.
Gu Dong carefully pulled Liao's sleeve, frowned and said, "Mom, please don't act like a demon anymore, I still want to have a peaceful life."
Liao glared at Gu Dong and said unhappily, "Look at how useless you are. You are just like your damn father, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. How could I give birth to a coward like you?"
Anyway, it's not a crime to talk nonsense, so she is not afraid. If she talks it out, maybe she can get more food.
