People in the teahouse started to eat.
But Xu He and the others withdrew from the crowd.
Xu Dai was still very excited. He patted Xu He heavily on the shoulder and said: "Liangsheng, your second uncle has lived for so many years, and today there are many firsts!"
Xu He looked at him and waited quietly.
"This is the first time I feel that the cooks are so miserable. A meal of white rice and some meat, they are so...feeling towards me..."
Xu He knew that what he wanted to say was "gratitude", but he probably felt that this word was not used well, so he did not continue.
He nodded, indicating that he understood.
Xu Dai nodded excitedly and said: "Also, this is the first time that my second uncle has discovered that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. When I see those kitchen workers smiling at me, my heart goes crazy! Really... "
Speaking of this, he said to Xu He: "I don't want to say anything anymore. I'm just going to express their feelings for me tonight. I will do the same in the future!"
When Xu He heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, second uncle, if you do this, how much food does the family have to cover such expenses?"
When Xu Dai heard this, he immediately patted his head: "I'm on top!"
Xu He said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a thin meal in the morning, mixed grains and rice at noon and evening, with some salted fish, and occasionally killing a pig or something, it's already good!"
"This!" Xu Dai was a little embarrassed when he heard this. The first day was so good. If the food gets worse in the future, will everyone have any objections?
Xu He shook his head and said: "I know what the second uncle is worried about. Only thin water can flow for a long time. Instead of running out of food and leaving everyone hungry, it is better to have a plan. People's hearts are made of flesh, so they will understand!"
At this moment, Lao Zhengtou came over and when he saw Xu Dai, he naturally expressed his thanks again.
However, he changed the subject and said to Xu Dai: "Second Master, we have just arrived today. We appreciate you taking care of us, but we have to go on. The food in the future does not need to be so good. As long as we fill our stomachs, everyone can enjoy it." As long as you have the strength, we will remember your kindness and do your job well!"
When Xu Dai heard this, he immediately looked at Xu He who was aside, and saw Xu He smiling and nodding.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Old Zheng, don't worry, although we can't afford white rice for every meal, we will definitely have meat and fish for every meal, and we will definitely have three meals a day, noon and night!"
Lao Zhengtou was very surprised and was so moved that he wanted to bow again.
Xu Dai was on top, but he was not willing to accept the courtesy. The two of them humbly gave in like this ten times, and finally everyone was happy!
So, sometimes, you can't understand why rich people do charity.
Putting morality aside, the unparalleled sense of accomplishment you experience while doing charity is truly amazing.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is not charity, but it does not prevent Xu Dai from feeling that sense of accomplishment. This is enough!
The second master of the Xu family was even afraid that the other Xu family members would treat the kitchen workers poorly, so he would ride in a car every day to patrol various villages. When it was time to eat, someone would pop up unexpectedly at the Xu family's village near Kuancha.
This person disliked the lack of meat and fish in the dishes, and also disliked the fact that the staple food was not enough to satisfy hunger. In short, after this experience, everyone in Kuancha completely changed their impression of Xu Dai.
Of course, the progress of the project has been frighteningly fast these days, which really made the Xu family landowners, who originally had some objections, praise the second master.
And Xu He, the initiator of all this, was holding a letter in his hand and frowned.
It turned out that the letter was written by Xu Song.
In the letter, the uncle affirmed Xu He's performance in Huancha and asked him to do whatever he wanted without worrying about the gain or loss of the food.
Secondly, the letter said that Hailing's food supply was now stretched thin, and all the big households in the city refused to release food as promised.
Even for this matter, Chen Hua had gone to each house to discuss it many times, but these people all said in unison that they had no food.
Chen Hua found out from somewhere that the Huang family encouraged everyone to tell the county that they had no food, and at the same time secretly bought food from Huguang, hoping that the small farmers would go bankrupt and take advantage of the situation to acquire their ancestral fields.
Seeing this, Xu He thought of Huang Youcai's frame-up against him when he first traveled through time. The main reason was that he was deliberately retaliating because he failed to seize his ancestral land. He couldn't help but sneered: "I really fell into a money hole! I'm afraid you can't get through it. Come out!"
However, Xu Song said in his heart that County Magistrate Chen also found out that the reason why Chang Yingcang's grain was not allocated for a long time was because it was stuck at the water transportation yamen!
So Chen Hua sent five or six groups of people to Huai'an, and even Hu County Prime Minister made two trips in person. But let alone meeting the Cao Governor, they couldn't even get in through the gate of the Caoyun Yamen.
Later, Xu Song came to seek help. Xu Song, who was a minister of the Ministry of Industry, was now transferred to the Caoyun Yamen as the chief officer in charge of Hong. Xu Song wanted him to go to Huai'an and pass the chief officer in charge of Hong. relationship, find out what Cao Du Na means.
"If we don't allocate grain, the salt field will not be in chaos, but something big will happen in Hailing County. The eldest master wants to help Mr. Xu to go back to the county quickly, and after discussing it, he will go north to find the person in charge!" The county government came! People cupped their hands.
Xu He thought for a moment, and found that the four games were relatively stable now, and Tan Dangtian was also undergoing transformation step by step.
When I am here, I just follow Xu Dai around every day. Now that Xu Dai is more active than me, there is little point in staying by myself.
He thought for a moment, nodded and said to the man: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and tell you and I'll follow you!"
After telling Xu Dai about this, Xu Dai nodded and said: "Don't worry, Liangsheng, I will leave this place to my second uncle. I will keep you safe when you come back. The kitchen servants will all be fat and healthy!"
Xu He: "..."
Old Zhengtou knew why Xu He called him here, and he said without hesitation: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will help coordinate the other three games, and make sure nothing happens after you leave!"
Seeing this, Xu He finally breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he took Wu Decao back to Hailing first, leaving only Ding Ze and his sister to help take care of them.
When he arrived in Hailing, he did not rush to the county government. Xu He first went to Fenghuang Dun to find his uncle.
Xu Song is resting at home these days, and his health is getting better than before.
When he saw Xu He, he could even stand up and walk around in the courtyard while discussing things with Xu He.
"Ma Liangbi is a native of Fengyang Prefecture. In his early years, he served as the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Five years ago, he was promoted to the censor of Youdu, admiral of water transportation. This man is a clean official, not corrupt, and does not accept bribes. , his official reputation is very good, it is said outside that he believes in Buddhism, and people give him the nickname [Ma Buddha Lord]!"
Xu He nodded, which can be regarded as a little understanding of the ceiling-level figures that this industry will contact.
He supported Xu Song and said: "Uncle, this man does not believe in Buddhism, but Luo Jiao. Don't outsiders know?"
"Few people should know!" Xu Song shook his head!
"Then is he the first assistant or the second assistant?" Xu He asked again.
Xu Song smiled: "No, it is said that his backstage is in the palace. Who is it? I can't tell!"
