The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

"Taohua, is that the county magistrate? Such a young county magistrate?"

Lin Dajiang tapped his legs, which were still trembling slightly as he sat down, and couldn't help but sigh: "I actually met the county magistrate!"

Not to mention Lin Dajiang was frightened, Li Taohua had also just come to her senses.

The young man who came with the young master of Ruyi Tower just now turned out to be the judge of Jialin County.

"Master, what do you think the county magistrate meant by that?"

Lin Dajiang shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Just now, the county magistrate visited their workshop and also went to see the Lin family courtyard where preserved eggs are made.

After reading it, I didn't say anything except three words: good.

"Perhaps the county magistrate thinks our workshop is good?"

Li Taohua was puzzled. "What's so good about it? Isn't it just sausage and preserved eggs? What's so good about it? Could it be that the county magistrate tasted the sausage and thought it was good and wanted to eat more?"

Li Taohua talked to herself and felt that her words were inconsistent.

What delicacies has the county magistrate not eaten? Why does he like sausages made of pork? And the dark green preserved eggs made of duck eggs?

Although she thought the food tasted good, she was just an ordinary person. If they hadn't sold the recipe to Ruyilou and hadn't had such a relationship, they would never be able to eat Ruyilou's food.

As for whether the sausages and preserved eggs are delicious, their opinions don’t count.

Lin Dajiang felt that Li Taohua seemed to have hit a dead end and couldn't get out, so he advised: "Forget it, the more you think about it, the more worried you become. I see that the young master is in a good mood, so it must not be a bad thing."

Lin Jingzhe also advised: "Mother, the county magistrate has a full forehead, bright eyebrows and eyes, a square face and broad shoulders. He looks like a righteous gentleman. He will never..."

Before Lin Jingzhe finished speaking, Li Taohua was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Jingzhe, how dare you look up and look directly at the county magistrate? Do you want to die?"

"The county magistrate is walking in front of us. I can't just follow him with my eyes closed. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I miss a step?"

Li Taohua was extremely angry.

The family makes money, but we can't let the children develop a lawless character. If they are watching over them at home, won't they do things that offend others when they go out?

No, he needs to be taught a lesson.

Li Taohua thought so and did so.

Lin Xiaoman saw Li Taohua quickly grab the thick-soled shoes beside her and throw them hard, and the shoes flew straight in front of Lin Jingzhe.

Lin Jingzhe quickly jumped to the side, "Wow! Mom, what are you doing!"

Lin Dajiang hurriedly stopped him, "Peach Blossom!"

The villagers outside the courtyard who were originally planning to knock on the door looked at each other.

It sounds a bit chaotic in there. Should I knock on the door?

The man who started it looked back at the villagers and said awkwardly, "Dajiang and the others are teaching the children a lesson, should we knock or not?"

"Wait a little longer, wait until Dajiang has persuaded the man to stop before knocking on the door."

When it was finally quiet inside, the villagers looked at each other, communicating with their eyes about who would knock on the door.

Just as they were hesitating, a group of people came running over "aggressively", led by the shopkeeper Tong, whom they had seen many times.

When they knocked on the door and saw Lin Dajiang welcoming a few people in, the villagers were dumbfounded and looked at each other.

"What to do?"

"How about waiting?"

"Okay, let's see what's going on."

Some people lay down at the door to listen to the noise inside, while others walked back and forth rubbing their hands...

"It's so cold, I'm freezing to death."

-

"Shopkeeper Tong, you said that the county magistrate wants a thousand kilograms of sausages?" Li Taohua asked in surprise.

She was unsure. The county magistrate came to their house and asked for a thousand kilograms of sausages. What did he want for it?

Li Taohua was panicking and said nervously, "The county magistrate wants a thousand kilograms of sausages. Will you pay for it?"

It's no wonder she asked this question. As the saying goes, a clean magistrate can earn 100,000 silver coins in three years.

There are no officials who are dedicated to serving the people these days. They are all corrupt officials who squeeze the people's money.

Shopkeeper Tong also looked unhappy.

He doesn't know!

The young master accompanied the county magistrate and only asked him to pass on a message, asking the Lin family to prepare a thousand kilograms of sausages as soon as possible, without saying anything else.

Besides, the county magistrate has only been in Jialin County for a short time and seldom participates in the Merchants Association, so they have no idea of ​​his specific temperament!

Shopkeeper Tong was at a loss as to how to comfort the Lin family.

"The young master didn't say anything, and I don't think the county magistrate will let us suffer any loss."

These words made Shopkeeper Tong feel guilty.

It was a January day and the wind was howling cold outside, but Shopkeeper Tong felt his legs shivering.

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua looked at each other in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Tong was helpless and couldn't say the rest of the words.

In the early years, the boss "fed" a lot of gold and silver to the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture and county magistrates from various places.

I thought the newly appointed Lord Zhen of Jialin County was an exception, but it turned out that he was just well hidden and not revealed.

Look, he asked for a thousand kilograms of sausages.

Asking for a thousand kilograms of sausages is a small matter, but who knows how he will ask for it later.

Once you open your mouth, how can you close it easily?

"I'll go back and ask the young master what his rules are." Shopkeeper Tong was extremely anxious and wanted to know the whole story as soon as possible, just like the Lin family.

Lin Dajiang nodded and said solemnly, "Then please ask Brother Tong to send someone to inform us when he gets the news, so that we can have a better idea of ​​what's going on."

"Of course. I sent someone to run there as soon as I got the news."

The Lin family saw Manager Tong and his group off.

When the villagers saw that Lin Dajiang looked unhappy, and then saw that the shopkeeper Tong who had come out had a similar expression, they guessed that things must be going wrong.

The key point is that this matter must be related to the county magistrate.

Right after the county magistrate left, Shopkeeper Tong arrived. He and the Lin family had discussed for such a long time in closed-door discussions but still could not find a solution, which proved that it was not a trivial matter.

Everyone who originally wanted to find out the situation started to back off.

Nonsense, you can't easily get involved in things related to officials.

Forget it, let's not ask Lin Dajiang what happened. They don't dare to ask about anything related to the government. Let's just ask him if he needs any help.

"Da Jiang, if you need us to help you, just tell us. Although we can't do much, we can help you with the farm work."

"Yes, I have many brothers and little land of my own, so I will go to your house to finish the work after I am done."

Even Aunt Wang, who usually loves to make sarcastic remarks, gritted her teeth and said, "Da Jiang, you'd better not confront the officials head-on. You can earn money if you lose it, but you can never lose your life again."

Lin Dajiang's originally bitter face could no longer hold back.

How could Aunt Wang persuade others like this? If she hadn't looked so sincere, Lin Dajiang would have suspected that she was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

"Fellow villagers, I'm sorry to have worried you all. It's nothing. If I need your help, I will definitely not be polite."

Lin Dajiang bowed to the villagers to express his gratitude and didn't say anything else.

The villagers knew they could not help, so they gave up trying to find out and went back with sad faces.

Shanglin Village finally found a gold nugget, and thought that as the Lin family grew bigger in the future, everyone in the village would be able to find a job in their own village.

Unexpectedly, before it was my turn to work, the gold nugget was about to fall.

At this moment, everyone in Shanglin Village, young and old, was worried. It was the first time that the entire village unanimously hoped that nothing would happen to the Lin family.
