After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Unexpectedly, even the county magistrate's mother came to cook for them. You know, his mother didn't cook often at home, so she found a woman in the village who cooked for them.

Although his family is considered wealthy in the village, the county magistrate is, after all, an official appointed by the imperial court, receiving a salary and holding power. How could he be worse off than his family?

……

At this time, Li's mother in the inner room heard Gu Niannian's arrangement and agreed more than ever. Although she liked cooking, she also hated washing dishes.

There were no maids or servants in the house. When Li Jing was at home for dinner, she would cook and he would wash the dishes. This was an ironclad rule.

Li Jing has been cultivating his skill of washing dishes since he was a child, with the goal of freeing himself from the tedious task of washing dishes.

I was just agonizing over how to wash these hundred or so dishes. I decided to let my son do it! It really wasn't appropriate to do it in public.

Let the two maids wash it! She couldn't bear to see the girl's delicate hands, but she didn't want to like them herself.

In fact, she also thought of letting them wash their own dishes. Not to mention that it would take half an hour for so many people to queue up to wash the dishes, there were more than just bowls to be washed for eating, there were also plates for dishes, wooden barrels, shovels and other things that needed to be washed.

Therefore, the method of taking turns washing that Gu Niannian is talking about now is the most appropriate. It is both fair and reasonable. Four people can finish washing in less than two quarters of an hour.

Mother Li couldn't help but feel some admiration for Gu Niannian. It was rare for a county magistrate to think of such subtle details.

Add to that the fact that he respects women, knows how to correct his mistakes, and is fair, and his good looks might be considered his least significant advantage.

She was completely relieved that her son could work with such a leader.

She also knew something about the previous county magistrate. Although he was smooth in his dealings, he was promoted step by step.

But there are five or six wives and concubines in the family, and they are often invited to go to brothels.

As the saying goes, "As you lead, so will your followers."

In modern times, she opened a small restaurant of her own. Because her cooking was delicious, many local officials came to her for dinner.

Basically, it is the leaders who drink, and everyone below them drinks.

When the leader smokes, everyone under him also has a pack of cigarettes.

So she knows how lucky she is to meet a good boss.

It was also thanks to his own teaching since childhood that he did not seek promotion for his son. Li Jing himself was not interested in this aspect, so he was not led astray.

The habit of going to brothels was formed at that time.

……

Li Jing posted the schedule on the outside wall to ensure that everyone could see it.

Gu Niannian, "Those who are not scheduled to wash dishes today can go back and rest first. There is a list of who lives in each house posted on the door, and everyone can take a seat according to their number."

"Gather here at 3 pm to continue studying."

Because the bunk bed was too hard and Gu Niannian said something, Xu Yingfeng couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up.

Xu Minghao, who was standing by, saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yingfeng, "I can't sleep, go out for a walk"

Xu Minghao quickly put on his shoes and got out of bed, "Wait for me, I'll go with you"

"Is this what it's like to be a county magistrate?" Xu Yingfeng seemed to be asking Xu Minghao or asking himself.

Xu Minghao buckled the heels of his cloth shoes onto his ankles. "Probably!"

Xu Yingfeng, "Master clearly didn't say that."

Xu Minghao: "Master, you're not an official, how would he know?"

"Besides, not every official is treated the same way."

Xu Minghao's words made Xu Yingfeng no longer entangled, "That's right! What kind of person he wants to be and what kind of official he wants to be is up to him to decide."

"If he thinks it's good, then just do it. There's no need to follow the crowd."

"Let's go! Go back to sleep, or you'll be exhausted this afternoon!"

Xu Minghao scratched his head, confused. "What's wrong with this guy? Wasn't he unable to sleep? Now he can sleep again?"

Xu Yingfeng and Xu Minghao had just reached the door when they heard a discussion inside, "This county magistrate is really good-looking!"

"Don't tell me, it's so damn beautiful!"

"He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old."

"Look at her delicate skin and youth. I think she has hardly worked in the fields. Will the method he taught us work?"

The villagers on the side nodded in agreement, "I see the county magistrate is just talking, and it's Lord Li who is doing the work."

"Cough... cough" Xu Yingfeng faked coughing twice

“It takes real skill to be able to talk.”

Xu Yingfeng pointed at one of the villagers who was talking and said, "If you have the ability, you can just talk."

"Becoming a Jinshi is not as simple as just talking." Xu Yingfeng was preparing for the imperial examination, so he naturally knew the difficulty.

Just understanding the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics and memorizing them takes a lot of time, not to mention that the imperial examination is a process from being a student to a Jinshi.

There are also laws of the current dynasty, poems, classics, essays, strategies, etc. The topics are wide-ranging and difficult.

It was like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge, and there was no room for relaxation for even a moment.

"Hey, our great talent Xu is back!"

"You were just arguing with County Magistrate Gu, and now you're defending him?"

"Your expression changes so quickly."

The person who was speaking was Wang Wu, a troublemaker from Taoyuan Township. He could recognize a few words, but he had no proper business or hobbies. He just liked to join in the fun.

"You..." Xu Yingfeng had just said the word "you" when the corner of his clothes was grabbed by Xu Minghao.

"Yingfeng, don't bother with this scoundrel"

"We are scholars, and if we quarrel or cause trouble here and Lord Gu finds out, it will have a bad impact.

The college entrance examination also requires the county magistrate to recommend

Seeing them backing off, Wang Wu, who was not afraid of those wearing shoes, became even more aggressive. "Xu Yingfeng, you coward..."

"Master Gu's flatterer"

"Who is this official's flatterer? This official wants to take a good look at him." Gu Niannian came in from outside.

For a moment, the room was silent and you could hear a pin drop. Wang Wu also shut up and his face turned purple with fear.

Gu Niannian's face darkened. "Who just said Xu Yingfeng was a coward and a follower of mine?"

"How dare you say you don't deserve it? I think you are a complete coward."

"If you dare to admit it yourself now, just apologize to Xu Yingfeng."

"If you let me find it, then please leave and don't need to attend the next class."

Gu Niannian looked at Wang Wu, and Wang Wu unconsciously took a step back.

After half a quarter of an hour, no one admitted

Gu Niannian also lost her patience, "Wang Wu, pack up your things and leave!"

After saying that, he was about to leave. Gu Niannian originally came here to see if everyone was still asleep, and the afternoon class was about to start. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Wang Wu stirring up trouble.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of this little fight, as long as the person who did something wrong admitted his mistake and corrected it.

Who would have thought that Wang Wu was such a coward, and he didn't even dare to admit what he did. So Gu Niannian had no choice but to do what he said.

When Wang Wu heard that he was asked to leave, he finally spoke, but it was not an apology. "I am the only one who came to Taoyuan Township. If you ask me to leave, no one will come here from Taoyuan Township."

Gu Niannian laughed and said, "There are about a hundred people here, and there must be one that is close to Taoyuan Township."

"Those within ten miles of Taoyuan Township raise your hands!"

A total of five or six people raised their hands, including Xu Yingfeng and Xu Minghao from Qingshui Township.

"See, Taoyuan Township doesn't make much difference if you're not there."

"Bah, I don't want to learn!" Wang Wuye simply gave up, revealing his rogue nature.

After Wang Wu left, Gu Niannian reminded everyone, "Anyone who provokes trouble again in the future will end up like this person."

With such a vivid example before our eyes, who would dare to cause trouble? Those who made trouble all bowed their heads and agreed obediently.

……

Soon the ten-day training came to its last day. Mother Li saw that everyone had become darker and thinner, especially Gu Niannian, who looked even thinner now as she was already frail.

I bought 20 kilograms of pork belly out of my own pocket and made crispy pork belly for everyone.

Although each person can only taste a few small pieces, it can satisfy the cravings of people who can only eat meat during the New Year and other festivals.

Gu Niannian took a bite of the fragrant and crispy pork belly. It made a crunching sound and was so delicious that it captivated her eyes.

Gu Niannian suddenly remembered something, went back to the room, took out a small cloth bag and put it on the table. After spending these days together, everyone was no longer as distant and afraid of the county magistrate as before, and they all leaned over to take a look.

Gu Niannian reminded, "Everyone, lift your heads back. Don't blame me if you choke!"

Everyone retracted their heads again, staring at the small cloth bag without blinking.

Gu Niannian opened the cloth bag

"Red, thin"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "Have you seen it?"

"Do you know what it is?" He shook his head again.

Mother Li recognized it immediately and asked, "Pepper?"

Gu Niannian looked up at Li's mother in surprise, "Auntie, how do you know her?"

Gu Niannian even suspected that Li's mother was a time traveler like herself. She could understand that she had figured out how to stir-fry vegetables with lard and pork belly on her own.

But she, a woman who had lived in Qingshan County for a long time, actually knew this chili pepper. If Li's mother had not just said chili pepper instead of chili pepper, she would have run over and hugged her head to recognize it.

Of course, hugging each other and recognizing each other is just an adjective. Gu Niannian is not in a position to do so, after all, she is a man now.

Not to mention what others say, if she really did that, the first person to beat her would probably be her county magistrate.
