Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 120 Inspection
Then, Jing Yao looked at Wen Qun with concern and asked softly, "Are you hungry? The porridge will take some time to cook. Let me feed you some egg custard first." As he said that, he brought out the egg custard he had brought from the kitchen.
Thinking that Wen Qun had just vomited and his stomach was empty, he must be very hungry.
Wen Qun looked at the bowl of yellow egg custard and couldn't help feeling a little resistance in his heart.
But he understood that Jing Yao was concerned about him, so he nodded reluctantly to show his agreement.
After all, he is eating alone now, and for two people to supplement nutrition, he needs to eat more food to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
After Jing Yao fed Wen Qun a bowl of egg custard, he held him in his arms and rested on the bed, gently stroking his belly. Thinking of every little thing he and Wen Qun had experienced over the past few years, he felt satisfied and sweet in his heart, as if his chest was filled with this person.
Wen Qun rested his head comfortably on his chest. Jing Yao's body was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it felt very comfortable to lie on him.
Master Liu, covered in dust, hurried in and said with a gasp, "Sir."
Wen Yu looked up and glanced at him, then asked calmly, "You're back. Have you found the carpenter and blacksmith I asked you to look for?"
Master Liu nodded vigorously and replied, "Found it."
Wen Yu nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then ordered: "Then please invite them in."
When Jing Yao was called into the study, he happened to hear the conversation between Wen Yu and Master Liu. He looked in the direction of Master Liu curiously, and saw Jing Yao looking back at him. Master Liu smiled and nodded at him, then turned around and went out to call someone.
"Sir." Xiaomi walked into the study with a group of adults.
Xiaomi has been looking for job opportunities in the village. Jing Yao thought that this kid is quite popular, so he decided to hire him as a special guide.
Xiaomi respectfully introduced them to Wen Yu and Jing Yao, saying, "These are the best carpenters and blacksmiths in our county."
Wen Yu nodded slightly and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wen Yu took out a few design drawings, unfolded them and handed them to the carpenters and blacksmiths who came to look at them, and said, "Take a look at these."
There were more than a dozen sheets of paper with pictures of farm tools on them. On each picture, there were some disassembled parts.
These parts look very complicated, but also very delicate. Wen Yu explained: "This is a new type of agricultural tool I designed, which can improve agricultural production efficiency."
Hearing this, the people present expressed surprise and curiosity. Wen Yu continued: "These farm tools can make it easier for farmers to complete various farming activities, such as tilling and fertilizing."
After hearing this, everyone was amazed at Wen Yu's design. One of the craftsmen, a blacksmith, said excitedly: "It's really great! This way, our work will become more efficient."
Another craftsman excitedly added: "Not only that, this kind of farm tool can also reduce manpower consumption and reduce the burden on farmers."
At this time, a carpenter sitting in front of a chair shouted with surprise on his face: "This is simply a miracle!" His voice attracted everyone's attention and they all looked over.
Jing Yao couldn't help but glance sideways at the carpenter, thinking that he was too excited.
Then, several carpenters began to get busy. They started carpentry work in the yard, and others didn't know what they were doing. Knowing that several carpenters were summoned by Wen Yu, they all walked away quickly.
At noon, Wen Qun arranged for several workers in his family to have lunch. The county government had no shortage of tofu, because tofu was easy to make and rich in nutrition.
Wen Qun gave the tofu to several people for tasting, hoping to use this opportunity to increase the popularity of the tofu.
Within a few days, several workers took the initiative to approach Wen Qun to discuss the possibility of using tofu to offset their wages.
After all, tofu is a delicious and practical food that is loved by people. For families with limited economic conditions, it is more important to have food that fills the stomach.
Therefore, using tofu to offset wages can both meet the workers' needs and help them save money.
At the same time, this will also help promote the popularity of tofu and let more people know about this delicious food.
When Jing Yao arrived at the village, the sun had just risen, and he thought he had arrived early, but when he arrived at his destination, he was surprised to find that everyone had already started working busily. They looked out of breath, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, as if they had been working for a long time.
Zhou Lin came forward with an indescribable expression on his face: "These people came here to work before daybreak."
Jing Yao's mind moved, and he guessed, "Is it because he ate meat and received silver yesterday that he was so happy that he couldn't sleep and got up early?"
Zhou Lin nodded, agreeing with this statement. These villagers were very motivated and worked very hard, which made Jing Yao feel relieved. After all, this situation was a good thing for the whole village.
At this time, the young and strong men in the village gathered here to dig the canal, while the work in the fields was left to the elderly, women and husbands in the family.
In the past, due to food shortages, people often went up the mountain in groups to dig wild vegetables. But now, the men do not eat at home, and the vegetables grown in the fields are enough to eat, so no one goes up the mountain to dig wild vegetables anymore.
Jing Yao looked up at the mountain and saw the wild vegetables growing lush and green. He suddenly remembered that Wen Qun had lost his appetite recently, so he waved to a group of children passing by.
Originally, the villagers were full of fear of these outsiders, but in recent days they have been eating well, received their wages yesterday, and even received tofu as welfare. This treatment has made everyone start to change their views on these people, and believe that they are all kind people. The children have also become much braver.
After hearing what he said, the child ran back to the village excitedly. He first found Ran Ge'er and asked, "Brother Ran, do you want to make money?"
Ran Geer nodded very simply and said, "Of course I do!"
The child then said, "Then come with me to pick wild vegetables. The adults said that if you fill a basket, you will get a copper coin!"
For these children, one copper coin is enough to buy eggs and delicious meat buns. Upon hearing the news, the children in the village participated enthusiastically, hoping to earn some pocket money through their own efforts.
So, a group of more than a dozen children set out happily, each holding a basket in their hands, laughing and talking all the way. Wherever they went, the wild vegetables were quickly picked up, as if not even a blade of grass was left.
The speed at which the children in the village dug wild vegetables was amazing. They washed the wild vegetables skillfully and then stewed them with fragrant oil residue, which tasted very delicious.
In comparison, this wild vegetable is not only affordable, but also tastes quite good. After all, it is more popular than those big cabbages sold in the town.
Wen Qun was surprised when he saw the carpenter in front of him. He was a big man with bulging muscles, exuding a strong aura. His eyes were firm and deep, revealing a resolute and courageous temperament.
The carpenter stood there, staring at Wen Qun quietly, as if he could see through his thoughts. He frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with something.
His voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of authority as he said, "I said that all my wages will be paid in tofu."
Wen Qun asked again: "Are you sure you want to use your wages to buy these tofu?"
The carpenter nodded in agreement. He needed the tofu but didn't have enough money to pay for it. Using his wages as a deduction was the best option at the moment.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qun slowly said: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's do this. However, I have to remind you that these tofu are not easy to preserve, so you'd better eat them as soon as possible." After that, he turned and left, leaving Qi Mu with a happy face.
When Qi Mu returned home, his family was busy. He walked in with a happy smile on his face.
"Qi Mu, you're back!" Qi's mother shouted happily when she saw him.
Qi Mu smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, mother, I am back. This time I brought back some things."
As he said this, he placed the package in his hand on the table. Qi's mother curiously opened the package, and inside were pieces of snow-white tofu.
“Wow, so much tofu! Where did you get it from?” Qi’s mother asked in surprise.
Qi Mu smiled proudly and said, "This is the tofu made by our newly appointed county magistrate's family. Their tofu is very delicious, so I bought some specially."
"Oh? Is it really that delicious?" Qi's mother asked half-doubtfully.
Qi Mu nodded quickly and said, "Of course, mother. You will know after you try it."
Mother Qi picked up a piece of tofu and took a bite. Suddenly, a strong bean fragrance spread in her mouth, and the taste was delicate and tender. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and praised it: "Well, it's really delicious. I didn't expect the tofu in the new county magistrate's house to be so delicious."
Qi Mu was filled with pride when he heard Qi's mother's praise. He recalled his experience of working in the county government office a few days ago, when he couldn't help but talk to others about how good the food was in the county government office.
However, the villagers thought he was bribed by the new county magistrate and did not believe him at all. Qi Mu was very angry and did not know how to prove that what he said was true.
Qi Mu had no choice but to discuss with Qin Yi about using tofu in exchange for his wages. Wen Qun agreed, and Qi Mu exchanged all his wages for tofu.
Qi Mu asked his wife to cook most of the tofu according to the way Wen Yu's family made tofu, and invited a few good friends to his house to eat tofu. Everyone who ate it said it was delicious.
Wen Yu also asked Jing Yao to open a tofu shop next to the county government office, specializing in tofu and soy milk. Wen Qun was originally feeling that she had nothing to do all day and was not used to it, but when the tofu shop opened, she became energetic.
After a month of hard work, the river course that spans nine villages, including Anhe Village, Dashi Village, and Sanqiao Village, has basically taken shape. The river course is winding, like a giant dragon entrenched on the land, with no end in sight, which makes people marvel at its magnificence.
Wen Yu decided to go to the mountain of Dashi Village to inspect and confirm the situation again, and Jing Yao also accompanied him. Wen Qun was left at home to be taken care of by the servants.
Wen Yu's facial features and temperament were so gentle and graceful that when everyone didn't know his identity, they were curious about what he did and what kind of family could give birth to a boy like him.
Now that they knew this, they became even more curious. They didn't know how such a weak and scholarly person could have such outstanding talent and ability.
Is this their new county magistrate? How come he looks so young? Not only that, the new county magistrate is also very good-looking. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as "red lips and white teeth".
Before, Wen Yu came and went on horseback, patrolling the fields in the village. The villagers thought he was some high-ranking official, and were afraid of offending him, so they didn't dare to get too close.
It was not until now, when Wen Yu rode his horse into the crowd, that everyone could see his appearance clearly. Some people could not help but secretly take a look at him, and immediately blushed.
Wen Yu returned from Anping County early in the morning. As soon as he entered Qingyang County, he deliberately took a long detour and patrolled all the way from Sanqiao Village.
Everyone was working in unison, busy and enthusiastic, and the river channel was almost finished. Seeing this, Wen Yu was very satisfied. It seemed that he had returned just in time!
If we continue at this pace, we should be able to blast open the mountain and create a gap in a few days.
He knew that none of the common people believed that he could successfully divert the water.
The matter even spread to several surrounding counties, and those officials who were eating idle meals handed him memorials, advising him to "think twice before acting."
Not only that, those people even laughed at him behind his back, saying that he was ignorant of the immensity of the world and was busy doing nothing, thinking that as long as he dug a river, water would naturally come. How naive he was.
After all, young people have too little experience, too simple ideas, and don’t know how to consider the consequences. If you don’t listen to advice now, it will be too late to regret later.
Alas, what a waste of time and money, so much money was wasted!
These rumors spread more and more, and finally even Wen Yu himself heard about it. He acted very quickly, making people feel that he did not think it through, but acted on impulse.
Everyone was waiting to laugh at him, but he just wouldn't let them get their wish.
Once upon a time, the people were so hostile to Wen Yu that when he came down for field investigations, he did not dare to give his name, for fear of being secretly plotted against.
But now the situation is different, because he distributed food and silver, people no longer thought of attacking him, and the eyes they looked at him became gentle and loving.
They felt that although the county magistrate was young, he was a kind and good man. It was just a pity that he seemed a little naive, which was a pity.
Looking all the way from Sanqiao Village, the older people always looked at him like this, which made Wen Yu feel very helpless.
Their eyes seemed full of suspicion and distrust towards him, which made Wen Yu feel very depressed.
