Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Zhou Rong's heart instantly sank into an ice cellar.

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt uncomfortable and my nose was a little sore when I actually heard it.

"You can work as a kitchen helper at Qing'an Hall. You'll earn about three taels of silver a month."

Zhou Rong nodded woodenly. When she reacted, her eyes were full of disbelief: "Cousin, what did you say?"

"Go help in the kitchen. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I, I do!"

Oh my God, three taels of silver a month. Zhou Rong never thought that she could get so much money in her life. But can she really be a kitchen helper in a big tavern?

She is just a country girl.

Xu Wenyan wanted to help me, but what if I didn't have the ability and messed things up? Would my cousin be disappointed in her in the future?

After the excitement, Zhou Rong calmed down: "But, cousin, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Xu Wenyan knew her concerns: "It doesn't matter, we'll cook what you're familiar with, like ramen, and the chef will also teach you some dishes this month.

Anyway, you can at least do it for a month. If you can't do anything well this month, I won't let you go without you saying anything."

"Yes! Thank you, cousin."

If Xu Wenyan just comforted Zhou Rong, she would not be so happy. After he said this, Zhou Rong would not feel sorry for him.

On the contrary, she will work harder to prove herself.

"Well, go and do your work."

After leaving the factory, Xu Wenyan did not go back directly. He first went to take a look at the vacant land nearby, and then marked out the dozen acres of wasteland that he wanted to buy.

By the time everything was divided up, it was already afternoon.

Next, we just have to wait for Zhan Laowu and the others to arrive.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Xu Wenyan didn't expect that he would have to wait so long. It's probably already midnight now.

He put on his shoes and hurried out: "Black bear, stop barking."

The black bear heard Xu Wenyan's voice and ran over wagging its tail.

Only then did Zhan Laowu dare to put down the knife in his hand: "Your dog is really fierce, just like you." Of course, the second half of the sentence was made up in his mind and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Xu Wenyan felt mixed emotions as he looked at this huge group of people. They were wearing tattered clothes, and some of them didn't even have shoes.

There are too many people, so Xu Wenyan has to let Xiaohong work overtime today.

There were only four children in total, three boys and one girl. Xu Wenyan put the children in the carriage. After getting on the car, the children didn't dare to move. They just looked at Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin with fear on their faces.

We put the bags of a few elderly people into the car and started to move.

Zhan Laowu walked to the side of the car and asked, "Is the place you mentioned safe?"

"I can't guarantee that it's absolutely safe, but it's definitely better than where you live in the county." Xu Wenyan yawned. He was really a little sleepy.

"Lean on me and sleep for a while." Chen Sanlin said softly.

Xu Wenyan hugged Chen Sanlin's right arm and put his face on his shoulder: "Brother Chen, I'll sleep for a while. You can call me when the time comes. We'll take turns."

"it is good."

Chen Sanlin was so happy seeing Xu Wenyan being so intimate with him.

The feeling of having your arms hugged and then acting a little coquettish is really wonderful.

In order to take those people walking into consideration, Chen Sanlin moved forward at a constant speed. Xiaohong must be allowed to have a good rest tomorrow.

The road was very dark at night, and Chen Sanlin didn't light the torch in the car until they were completely out of the village.

He handed three to Zhan Laowu: "Light them all, one at the head, one at the tail, and one in the middle of the team."

This kind of torch can be made of burlap and the cost is not too high. Most villagers can make it themselves. However, it burns too quickly and cannot support a group of people to reach the shelter.

These people were really tired. They walked all the way from the county government office to Jixiang Village, and now they had to walk from Jixiang Village to the shelter.

But there is no way, living in this world, you have to accept your fate.

It was not until the first torch went out that Chen Sanlin let everyone rest.

Xu Wenyan was a light sleeper, so he asked Chen Sanlin to take a rest as well. Although Chen Sanlin didn't want Xu Wenyan to be too tired, he had no say in this family.

It was already dawn when they arrived at the shelter. Xu Wenyan asked them to rest for two hours because he was also very tired.

I can't remember anything I said in this exhausted state.

The two of them fell asleep on the kang. Fortunately it was summer and there was no quilt and they were all the same.

When he woke up again, it was already afternoon. Xu Wenyan got up and saw Zhan Laowu sitting outside the door. He didn't know when he came to wait for him.

Xu Wenyan yawned and looked at the people leaning against the corner.

Those people were not much worse than the refugees before them, and were covered in filth.

Without caring about those things, Xu Wenyan went to the garden and picked several pumpkins. Now this was the only thing he could eat, so it would be no problem to have one or two meals with it.

Xu Wenyan was busy at the stove. The rich smell of pumpkin was floating in the house. Several children walked towards this side cautiously. Xu Wenyan just glanced at them and scared them back again.

After simply cooking the pumpkin, Xu Wenyan distributed it to them in bamboo tubes. There was a lot of pumpkin, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.

He sat down with Chen Sanlin and said to Zhan Laowu: "You will live here from now on, but everything must be arranged by me.

First of all, there are a lot of traps around here. Brother Chen will take you to identify them later.

I just checked and some of them have been triggered. There are dead prey inside. They cannot be eaten because they have been dead for a long time.

You will help someone clean up the body later."

Zhan Laowu swallowed a mouthful of pumpkin and nodded: "Okay."

"Also, live here and cultivate more fields. It's August now, and I want you to plant more pumpkins..."

In addition, Xu Wenyan also instructed them to develop mushroom fields and to start burning charcoal. The cost of charcoal needed for Xu Wenyan's factory was too high.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Wenyan agreed to Zhan Laowu's request. He needed someone to maintain the shelter.

This place is also his future destination, so it must be well protected.

Next is the matter of fishing. There are abundant fish here and it is impossible to catch them all as long as you don’t fish without restraint.

Small fish and fish with obvious eggs should be released, and fishing should not be done during the fish breeding season.

There were a lot of things to explain, so Xu Wenyan planned to take them to see and explain them at the same time.
