The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Master, this dress looks good, this dress looks good!" Qi Qi ran around the store like a wild horse.

During the days he spent in Changping Village, apart from the tattered clothes he had at the beginning, the only thing he had left was a piece of clothing left by the original owner's father before he died, which Lu Shi had donated to him as a friendly donation after he handed over all his private money.

It's no exaggeration to say that Qi Qi hasn't worn new clothes in a long time. If his brothers hadn't come over last night and he hadn't borrowed a new set of clothes, they would have gone bad long ago. He wouldn't have dared to embarrass himself in the town today.

After receiving the signal that Qi Jin would reimburse the money, Qi Qi completely let loose.

It’s not your own money so you don’t feel bad about it.

Qi Jin walked up to a blue dress and gently stroked it with his hand.

The shopkeeper came forward with great tact and introduced it to him enthusiastically.

"Sir, you really have good taste. This dress is made of the finest cloud silk, equipped with the best embroiderers and embroidery techniques.

The fabric is smooth, bright, breathable and comfortable, and is loved by nobles. This cloud silk is unique to our store, brought from the capital, and is very fashionable.

Our store is limited in capacity and has only received a small amount of goods. Now we only have two sets of clothes and a piece of cloud silk left."

The shopkeeper saw that Qi Jin and others were big customers, so he praised them generously.

Qi Jin nodded. This fabric is indeed quite common in the capital. Because of its soft and comfortable properties, it is very popular among most officials' daughters.

Although it is not as good as the imperial brocade specially supplied to the royal family, it is also the best choice at present.

Because the size was right, Qi Jin immediately asked the shopkeeper to pack both sets of clothes.

He looked up and glanced around the store, then lost interest.

Then he seemed to think of something.

"Please also pack up that piece of cloud silk."

He really despised the batch of fabrics from Lu Shi's home. If he hadn't had any choice at the time, he would never have used that batch of fabrics to make clothes.

The young master is indeed very delicate.

Qi Jin waved his hand and asked everyone to choose two pieces of clothing, and he would pay for all the expenses.

Monkey System: He said two pieces per person, so that should include him, right? He is so human, how can he not be considered a human?

Several people started shopping without any hesitation, except Lu Shi who just stood aside and did nothing.

"You don't like him? Or do you have something against me?" Qi Jin raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"I really didn't see anything I liked. I have high standards. Didn't you buy those two sets of cloud silk?"

Ok?

What do you mean? You want cloud silk?

Qi Jin frowned. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but he only had two sets of this silk, not enough for him to change into. He was a little conflicted, but finally made a decision: "Then I'll give you one set."

Compared with the benefits that will be brought after Lu Shi, this is totally not worth mentioning.

Seeing Qi Jin's cold and painful look of giving up, Lu Shi seemed to have achieved some goal, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"No, I really don't have enough clothes at home, so I don't need to spend money."

He had bought himself several sets of clothes before, so he had no shortage of them, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he had more than he could wear.

Can’t finish wearing them?

Qi Jin expressed shock. He had so many clothes that he couldn't wear them all and he still hadn't changed them for such a long time. Was he doing it on purpose?

Although he wouldn't wear someone else's clothes...

He can refuse it, but he can't not give it!

snort!

Qi Jin pursed his lips slightly, his eyes filled with anger.

If you don’t want it, then don’t want it. He didn’t beg him to have it.

After leaving the clothing store, it was time for lunch. After finding a restaurant and having a meal, they returned home in the newly bought carriage with a full load.

*

The title deed has been obtained, and now it is time to open up the back mountain.

After dinner, Lu Shi went to the village chief's house as usual, and the two of them called a meeting of the villagers together.

The meeting required the attendance of all villagers, so the originally empty plain became crowded.

The village chief raised his hand and shouted to stop the noise in the crowd.

"Everyone should know that we have already bought this mountain behind us, and we must hurry to open up the wasteland.

It was winter, and there was no heavy snow yet, so there was no need to do farm work, so everyone joined in.

Young and middle-aged people cultivate the land, women prepare meals for everyone, and children pull weeds.

We should try to reclaim this mountain before spring, and then plant medicinal herbs, which will bring us more income."

At this point, everyone is no longer vague.

"Don't worry, village chief, we will do our best." A strong young man in the village echoed loudly.

There was an immediate response from the crowd.

Now it was Lu Shi's turn to step forward.

The village chief stepped back slightly to make room.

Lu Shi strode forward, his hands behind his back. Beneath the dim sky, the young man stood with his hands behind his back, the orange-red glow of the sky illuminating his face. His eyes were slightly closed, as he gazed down upon his people like a compassionate god.

Everyone just felt uncultured and didn't know how to describe the damn sense of warmth, tranquility and security. They only knew that Lu Shi would not harm them.

The crowd fell silent spontaneously, and everyone looked in the same direction with an imperceptible piety on their faces.

"Now the basics of growing medicinal herbs have been arranged, but there is still the most crucial step: making pills."

Lu Shi paused for a moment before continuing, "The requirements for the candidates to make the pills are very high. Now, the person I have selected should step out."

"Fan Wenqiang,

Vanderlei,

Liu Yun,

Xia Mei,

Guo Zhong,

Huang Qiuju,

......"

After calling out about fifteen names, Lu Shi finally stopped.

While the village chief was speaking, he had carefully observed the villagers. There were only about 300 people in the village, a small population, and those with spiritual roots were even rarer.

He picked out everyone regardless of their spiritual roots, and there were only fifteen of them.

The villagers picked out included both young and old, and even a little girl about ten years old.

Everyone was a little confused. They didn't understand Lu Shi's selection criteria, but everyone knew that this job was relatively easy and paid the highest salary.

So some people still want to fight for it.

"Xiao Shi, how did you choose this person? I think my Tian Quan is also good, he is strong and healthy."

Aunt Tian in the village thought she had to fight for her son. Her son was quite outstanding in the village. He never procrastinated at work and was diligent, honest and kind. He was the dream lover of many girls in the village.

"mother……"

Tian Quan tugged at Aunt Tian's sleeve in embarrassment and annoyance, somewhat disapproving of his mother's behavior.

Although he hoped that he would be selected and was somewhat disappointed with the selection results, he still obeyed the village's arrangements.

Besides, Mr. Lu, a scholar, must have his reasons for making this choice.

That’s right, Tian Quan is a little fan of Lu Shi.

Most of the young people in the village admire Lu Shi very much, and they know more than the old people in the village.

Most of the elderly people stay in the village and do not go out, but most of their young people go to the town to find work or do shopping.

Since such a famous person emerged in the village, it has become much easier for them to find jobs, and people in the town also give them a good look when they hear that they are from Changping Village.

It can be said that when the family paid the money to buy the mountain, it was this group of young people who persuaded them.

Therefore, Tian Quan has always agreed with Lu Shi’s decision to select people.
