If people respect me one foot, I will respect others one foot!
This has always been Xiao Han's code of conduct.
There was no false thanks, because Xiao Han knew very well in his heart what way he should use to better repay the simple villagers in front of him.
Two sheep and a fat pig, Xiaodong quickly returned to Yangzhou City to buy them.
A few large pots were borrowed from Old Man Liu.
Simply build a stove with a base of stones.
The slaughtered sheep are washed with well water in the village and thrown into the pot together with the bones to cook.
Offal that most people don’t eat? That's good stuff. Once it's done, add a handful of green onion and ginger, a little pepper, and a little vinegar. It's guaranteed to be so delicious that your tongue will want to swallow it!
In the wilderness, the fire is rising.
A very attractive aroma soon wafted from the large pots, causing the villagers working in the fields to look up from time to time and take a whiff of the aroma of meat floating in the air.
"The progress is faster than I imagined. It seems that starting from tomorrow, we can directly build a house."
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Han took a deep breath of the earthy-scented air and said to Ziyi beside him with a smile.
"Yes!" Ziyi nodded and quietly looked at Xiao Han's beautiful eyes, revealing a bit of unnoticeable admiration.
Xiao Han didn't see Zi Yi's eyes. He continued to walk a few steps forward and said in deep thought: "I saw you stayed up very late yesterday, which is not good. I always believe that only when you have a good rest can you do more. thing!"
When Ziyi heard Xiao Han say that he had stayed up very late, his body trembled involuntarily, and he lowered his head and replied: "We just came here, there are so many things, it's not easy to sort out..."
Xiao Han waved his hand: "You are too strong! Remember, one person cannot do everything, no matter how powerful he is!
In this way, let Lao Xue handle the craftsman matters. He is older at this age and will definitely be more comfortable than you in doing these things.
Whatever materials are needed to build the workshop, such as cement, let my master do it. After all, he has the identity of an imperial doctor, and everyone must give him some respect.
As for you, these days you are mainly going to get to know the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou. It is best to make a list. These people may be our customers in the future. "
Ziyi listened very seriously. After Xiao Han finished speaking, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will take care of these as soon as possible."
"There's no need to be too hasty. After all, this will only happen after the workshop is built."
Xiao Han paused for a moment, glanced back at Ziyi and continued: "Also, people will come from Sanyuan County one after another in the past few days. You can let Master Xiao arrange these people without having to intervene. Wait for the workshop in the future When you get up, you must not be confused between your master and his master.”
"Hmm..." Ziyi nodded slightly.
Xiao Han's eyes turned back to those villagers who worked hard: "You have done a good job regarding these villagers. You sacrificed small profits to win people's hearts. This is the real shopping mall. After all, profits will eventually come. Yes, but the human heart is not always there.
Let's wait and see. After the workshop is established, we need to recruit people. We might as well give priority to recruiting these people. As for welfare, we can also follow the example of Xiaojiazhuangzi, build a school, hire a few teachers, and let the children in the village go to school for free. This is the most affordable and popular thing. "
"The hospital?"
"Well, let's forget it for now. My master is old, so I can't overwork him. When His Majesty sees the example of Sanyuan County being spread, he will do this."
In this land full of spring, Xiao Han and Zi Yi strolled in tandem. The breeze picked up their hair and they were gently entangled in the air. From a distance, they really looked like a pair of mortal lovers. generally.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if they were not talking about these trivial matters, but about spring flowers, snow and moon.
"Hey? This little brother, I would like to ask, is there really nothing between your young master and that girl?"
Crouching next to the fool who was lighting the fire, Old Man Liu stretched his neck and glanced at Ziyi and Xiao Han from a distance. His somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with the fire of gossip that was even stronger than the fire!
"What do they have? What do they mean?"
The fool stuffed a piece of wood as thick as a calf under the cauldron, looked back at the old man in confusion and asked.
"Yes, just..." Old Man Liu scratched his head and didn't know how to explain this kind of thing. In the end, he simply stretched out his hands and pressed his two thumbs together.
"This is it!"
"Press fingerprints?"
"Bang..."
The old man was stunned, and Xiaodong, who was eavesdropping on the stove next to him, staggered even more and almost threw his head into the stove!
Hurrying to regain his balance, Xiaodong couldn't help but stretch his legs and give him a kick: "Idiot, he's asking you if our young master and Ziyi had an affair... ahem, feelings!"
"Oh, you said that!"
The fool was kicked, and then he suddenly realized that he had just said something, but suddenly he covered his mouth in fear, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief until he was sure that Xue Pan was not here today.
"I dare not say it! My young lady has a very bad temper!" the fool explained to Old Man Liu with a grimace.
"What? Your young master has a wife?"
When Old Man Liu heard this, he was startled and almost accidentally pulled off his beard. His eyes looked at the idiot with surprise and uncertainty.
"Yes!" The idiot nodded as it should be: "Not only are we married, we have children. In a few months... Huh? Old sir, why are you leaving? Let's chat for a while."
The morning passed by in a hurry.
By noon, the broth in the pot had already turned milky white, and the meat on the bones would peel off with just a slight shake.
After hurriedly washing his hands in the ditch, he filled a large bowl with meat and soup that he brought from home, and then paired it with a bowl of white rice. The man who was working squatted down at the end of the field, enjoying his meal. .
It's not a festival, so having such a meal is quite satisfying.
Xiao Han, who had been walking around all morning, also squatted under a tree with a bowl of rice to eat.
Not to mention, although there is a lack of condiments, the broth cooked in this big pot is more fragrant than the one cooked carefully in a small stove! You won’t even change it for a royal banquet in the palace!
The only fly in the ointment was that old man. Why did he always look at me the way he looked at Chen Shimei?
He lowered his head and looked himself up and down.
no problem? I didn't provoke him, let alone tease his granddaughter. If I wasn't fine this morning, what happened in the blink of an eye?
I can’t think clearly, and it’s hard to ask.
Xiao Han was so overwhelmed that he had to turn around and eat face to face with Ziyi, hoping to be out of sight and out of mind.
But when he did this, the burning sensation in his back became more obvious.
