Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 110 Let’s Talk About Lake County Again

Zhao Shi thought that Tian Xing'er came here today because she must be regretting not using him earlier. He thought that she would be very apologetic to him and then praise him. Then he would be a little more pregnant and give her a little daughter to give her a way out. But he didn't expect that this girl would not follow the routine. Now Tian Xing'er's words that she was a child and he was an adult really made him feel that his recent actions had lost the demeanor of an adult, which made him a little ashamed.

"Well, Mr. Zhao, don't be angry anymore. You know our sister Xing'er is just a child. She does whatever she wants. She is not as careful as her elder brother. It's her first time to have an adviser around her, so naturally she doesn't understand. How about this, you calm down first. You will be in charge of our road-opening project recently. How about I be your deputy and you can help me whenever I need you." At this time, Fang Shiya came to play the good cop.

Zhao Shi now understood their purpose today. This job of clearing the way was not easy, but if it was easy, it would mean that they looked down on him, Zhao Shi. This kind of job was worth doing for him. Making plans would make him a military advisor. He was still very satisfied with the sweet offer from Tian Xing'er and Fang Shiya. "Then I will reluctantly help Miss Fang. Are you satisfied?"

"How can I be dissatisfied? Mr. Zhao, please do your best. If you don't do well, I will return you to my brother and we won't send you to the military camp."

"Humph, this is a small matter, how can I, Zhao Shi, not be able to handle it? Miss, just watch."

"Okay, I'll wait and see how you perform, sir."

Tian Xing'er was very satisfied with her performance today after successfully coaxing Zhao Shi to come over. Now Zhao Shi is still unable to go out of the field, so in the past two days, Fang Siya sent someone to inform him of the progress and specific situation of the road construction. Zhao Shi felt that he was being reused again, and even while he was bedridden, he gave Fang Siya and their project a lot of suggestions.

Time slowly came to November. The roads in the county were all repaired. The official road leading to the outside was only partially repaired. It would have to wait until next year, after the snow melted, before construction could resume. The embankment on the waterway was also partially repaired. The difficulty here was much higher than that of the land route. The county magistrate mobilized almost all the people who could be mobilized in the county. Everyone heard that it was for the purpose of discovering Shang County and accumulating participation.

"It's almost Chinese New Year here, but Dad didn't send us any good food. He just told us to work hard and he didn't worry about us, really. And Mom doesn't worry about us."

"What good food can there be at Dad's place? You've been there yourself, so how come you don't know?"

"I'm just saying that, but there are a lot of cattle and lambs in the north. I was wondering if Dad would send us some mutton. Sister, you don't know how delicious the mutton in the north is. It doesn't smell at all. It's really a hundred times better than the mutton in the south."

"Is it that delicious?"

"That's natural. You'll know when you go there. It's a pity that we can't eat it now."

"Stop talking and enjoy your meal. This is all you have now, without your delicious mutton."

"I know. Oh, by the way, since we are going to celebrate the New Year here this year, how about we also hold a simple food court here, and add a parade."

"Your idea is good, but there are only a few delicious dishes here. I only eat one or two of them. The others are not that delicious."

"Xing'er sister, what food street were you talking about just now?" Fang Shiya went to check on the construction work before dawn. She was busy for more than an hour before she had time to come back for breakfast. As soon as she came back, she heard Tian Xing'er and her brother talking about the food street.

"Sister Fang, you guys are back, please sit down and have breakfast."

"Food Street, I know. We participated in it in Hu County. It was so exciting and lively. The snacks there were all things I had never seen before, especially the summer desserts. They were really top-notch, don't you think, brother?" Jiang Jin, Tian Zhenwei and Zhao Shi also came back. They washed their hands and sat down.

"Indeed, I still can't forget it when I think about it now. It's just that the terrible epidemic in the summer is a bit frightening."

"Brother, why are you bringing up something that is not relevant to the topic?"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, it was a slip of the tongue, Xing'er girl, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's not our fault." Tian Xing'er didn't care.

"By the way, you just mentioned the food street and the parade, why don't you continue talking about it? I want to listen more." Zhao Shi was already holding his bowl, waiting to listen to their story while eating.

"I, let me tell you something," Tian Yuze got excited when he heard everyone talking about it. "There are famous snacks from all over the country on the food street. My father invited many people to come. The snack stalls are from south to north and from east to west. At the beginning, there were only a hundred stalls, and later there were hundreds. At night, hundreds of stalls were all lit up. I think the scene was no less than that in the capital. And the parade performances at the end of the year were also very exciting, with songs, poems, dances, and operas. There were all kinds of things, one after another. You couldn't see them all in one night. They walked around the main city through the streets and alleys, and the people followed them all the time. It was simply a sea of ​​people."

"Oh my God, I really want to attend the event. Unfortunately, Hu County is too far away from us and I don't have the chance." Fang Shiya had been living in the countryside before and seldom cared about outside affairs. When she heard Tian Yuze introduce the New Year celebrations in Hu County, she was extremely yearning for it.

"Yeah, what you said makes me want to go and take a look." Zhao Shi couldn't help but feel curious.

"It's okay. We can hold a small one in Shang County this year. What do you think, Sister Fang?" Tian Yuze encouraged.

"Okay, I agree, but what does this require?"

"We need stall owners who can make a lot of snacks, various craftsmen, and lantern parade performers, but unfortunately there is nothing here." Tian Xing'er said helplessly.

"I can think of ways to deal with these. I can lend out a few of my cooks. We have many small kitchens at home, and during the Chinese New Year, we can all eat together without having to set up our own small kitchen.

As for the circus performers in the parade, I can pay extra money to recruit some from other places, but there won’t be too many. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there won’t be many people who are free. At most, I can find some idle artists, but their skills may be inferior.”

"It's okay if your skills are not good enough, we just want to have some fun. We can ask the county magistrate for help, and then the people can join in, making the team stronger and more lively."

"I'll take care of these things for the county magistrate, and the rest is up to you." Jiang Jin took the initiative to take on the job.

"How can we make more snacks? Sister, can you teach some to the people here?"

"What's the problem? If someone knows how to cook, we will have something to eat. It would be best if they could open a small stall in the future so that we can eat every day."

"Sister Xing'er, you can actually make snacks. I didn't know this at all. Next time you make them, I want to eat every one of them." Fang Shiya joked.

"Of course, don't worry, Sister Fang. By the way, I think I can teach your cook first. After all, they are their own professionals and will definitely learn faster. Once they learn how to do it, I can let them teach a few more people. This way, it will be faster."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Anyway, I'm taking advantage of you, Sister Xing'er. If these snacks are good, I'll open a few snack shops here."

"Sister Fang, we don't have any employees here, and you want to open a store. Aren't you afraid that your store will go bankrupt if no one opens?"

"Puh, puh, puh, brother Yuze, don't say anything unlucky. Your sister and I opened a shop to make a lot of money. Sister Xing'er, if I really open a shop, half of it will be yours. You provided the craftsmanship."

"Okay, if you don't make money, you'd be a fool, right? Then I'll have to rely on Sister Fang to help me make more money in the future."

"Hahahaha" Everyone laughed heartily while eating this breakfast.

"Then you want me to help you do something. You all have things to do, and it seems like it would be bad if I don't do it." Tian Zhenwei said.

"Okay, we also need Uncle Zhenwei's help. You will be responsible for the arrangements of the parade. Oh, and Mr. Zhao, how about Mr. Zhao be the overall coordinator for us?" Recently, everyone has witnessed Zhao Shi's ability. He is indeed very resourceful. Because of him, the road-opening plan in Shang County can proceed so quickly. It is estimated that the land portion can be completed shortly after the new year.
