The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system
Chapter 71 Getting a bargain
The next morning the sun was shining brightly.
After Yun Zhizhi woke up, she quickly packed herself up and took the three of them out to find an acrobatic and opera troupe to discuss the performances for the next seven days.
In the middle of the Si hour, the sun was high in the sky and a hot atmosphere filled the air.
However, the farmers in Chenjia Village ignored the heat and stood anxiously under the big tree at the entrance of the village waiting.
Especially the anxious Chen Dacong brothers, their eyes were fixed on the road ahead, looking forward to it.
Although they believed in Miss Yun's character, they were also afraid that if something unexpected happened, they would not come.
After all, we learned yesterday that they were not ordinary people from Yizhou Prefecture, but merchants from the capital.
Some villagers began to get impatient.
"We came here to wait in the middle of the morning hour. We've been waiting for a full hour, but no one has shown up. Could it be that the boss has tricked us?"
"Yeah! Luckily I brought a small stool over, otherwise my feet would have been numb a long time ago."
"Ah! How could such a good thing happen to us peasants? It seems we have been cheated."
Just as everyone was sighing, they suddenly heard Chen Daming exclaim, "Miss Yun is here."
Two carriages arrived at the entrance of Chenjia Village with a clatter.
What no one expected was that this generous host was actually a young and beautiful woman.
Yun Zhizhi jumped off the carriage with a swift movement, walked quickly to the front of everyone, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. Something delayed me and kept you waiting."
Chen Dacong quickly responded with a smile: "Miss Yun, we are very grateful that you can come. We are willing to wait as long as it takes."
A fat lady spoke the truth: "Yes! You are a noble and busy person. We are not afraid of waiting, but we are afraid that you will not come."
Time was limited, so Yun Zhizhi got straight to the point: "I plan to recruit a group of people to go to the lotus fields in the western suburbs to dig lotus roots."
"It's dirty and tiring work, so the pay is quite high, 200 coins a day. You'll work four hours a day, and you'll need to be immersed in the dirt all day. If anyone is interested in signing up, please stand over here. I'll select the right person later."
Yun Zhizhi said as she pointed to the place next to her.
These villagers usually lived in the dirt, so this kind of physical labor was no problem for them. Therefore, Yun Zhizhi had already selected the candidates in less than half an hour.
During this period, she also selected several women who could cook.
Before leaving, Yun Zhizhi reminded the villagers: "In the next seven days, as long as you work hard, in addition to paying your daily wages, you will also be provided with a free lunch."
Everyone was delighted when they heard the good news.
After completing the task of recruiting people, the four of them immediately rushed to the lotus fields in the western suburbs to check whether the stove had been built.
At the same time, you also need to buy some ingredients for advance preparation.
At this time, Yun Zhizhi was so busy that she didn't know that her kind gesture was taken advantage of by others.
the other side.
The prefect hummed a little tune cheerfully and walked briskly into the inner hall of the yamen. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Zhubu, who was smiling widely.
"Master Xu, your idea of arranging acrobatic and opera performances for the people to watch for free is very good and deserves praise." The prefect said happily.
Now the common people outside are praising him, saying that he is good at handling things and is willing to spend money.
After hearing this, Xu Zhubu was stunned. He subconsciously touched his beard and asked in confusion, "Wasn't this idea yours, the prefect?"
Even if he could come up with such a good idea, he wouldn't dare to implement it easily! After all, it would cost a lot of money.
"It's not me." The prefect shook his head.
Xu Zhubu muttered to himself: That's right! The prefect is such a stingy person. He is so stingy on weekdays. It is difficult to pull out a hair from him.
Even if the money he spends is not his own, he is still very stingy.
The prefect then muttered, "Forget it, never mind. People are saying it's our government's fault anyway, so we'll just not respond."
If the victim was a smart person, he would not take the initiative to expose the matter.
Soon, this matter reached the ears of the "sucker" Yun Zhizhi.
Since the news has spread like wildfire outside, she, a smart person, will definitely not be stupid enough to come out and clarify the facts.
After all, she hadn't started setting up her stall yet. If she angered the prefect and he made things difficult for her, that would be disastrous.
As long as her goal is achieved, nothing else matters.
The first day of setting up the stall.
At the time of Chenshi, the sun had risen, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the earth, illuminating the entire Chenjia Village.
The village was bustling with activity, with villagers coming out of their homes and gathering together.
After a while, a large group of people, riding on several ox carts, slowly drove out of the village and headed towards the lotus fields in the western suburbs.
Yesterday, they signed up without knowing what was going on, but only now realized that they had not asked the host clearly what the lotus roots that needed to be harvested in the next seven days were.
However, this doubt did not last long.
About a quarter of an hour later, when they arrived at the lotus fields in the western suburbs, Yun Zhizhi began to explain some basic scientific knowledge to everyone: "I told you yesterday that the work for the next seven days will be digging lotus roots. And the so-called lotus roots actually grow under the lotus leaves."
"Lotus root is actually a vegetable that usually grows horizontally in the soil. It's not easy to dig it up, so it's best not to break it..."
After hearing this, Chen Dacong suddenly realized.
He never imagined that there was an edible vegetable hidden under the lotus leaves.
I wonder what this lotus root tastes like?
He was already looking forward to it.
After a cup of tea, the village chief of Chenjia Village stepped forward and led the villagers into the lotus fields to start digging lotus roots.
Everyone seemed extremely focused and serious.
He Yang, wearing a bright red dress, stood at the edge of the field, watching them squat down and put their hands into the soil to dig lotus roots, and he began to feel eager to try.
He glanced at Yun Zhizhi who was preparing the ingredients and said with a grin, "Boss, I want to dig some too."
Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but tease, "Don't you know how much you weigh? These lotus roots aren't easy to dig up. If you get stuck in the mud, you'll be the one getting dug out!"
"Please help me peel the lotus root and cut it into pieces later."
He Yang was like a deflated ball, "Okay!"
On the first day of setting up the stall, in order to let everyone better understand lotus root, she planned to make a few common lotus root dishes to attract everyone's attention.
Lotus pond stir-fry and lotus root and pork ribs soup are two simple and delicious dishes that are definitely indispensable.
This time, she also plans to make lotus root balls, sweet and sour lotus root cubes and cold lotus root salad.
She just didn't believe that after eating these dishes, people wouldn't buy some fresh lotus roots to take home.
