In the morning in the mountains, the air is cold and mist lingers in the mountains and forests. Sunlight pours down from the gaps in the stone walls in the mountain. The fifth prince Chu Xiao is wearing a black and gold brocade robe with dark cloud patterns and buckskin boots of the same color. The handsome man stood in the middle of the mountain, looking carefully, with shock in his eyes.
Nangong Yunteng was sitting in a wheelchair, next to Jiuwan who was lazy.
"Brother, you chose this place well!"
"Well, that's good!" Nangong Yunteng also raised his head and looked at everything in front of him.
"I really can't leave!"
"Well, don't leave!"
"Can you be my wife's boss? She won't kick me out!"
"No, she is very kind!"
"Of course, she is your wife, of course you think she is fine!"
"Let's go, I'll take you outside and have a look, and you'll know!"
The two walked out of the mountain and came to the place where the villagers lived. Chu Xiao was even more surprised. He was still unconscious when he came last night. Moreover, even if he knew that what he did last night was in the mountain, he did not expect that it would still be like this. Many villagers.
"These are villagers from Taiping Village. We will hire them to open up wasteland and cultivate land next year. The people here are very honest and work hard!"
"Taiping Village?" Chu Xiao had the impression that Nangong Yunteng told him last night.
"Well, this is called Taoyuan Valley now, and Niyue told the villagers that the place where they live is the community."
"Taoyuan Valley? Community?"
"Taoyuan Valley is the name of this place, and community refers to the living area of the people, including shops, medical stations, schools, etc. where you can buy daily necessities."
"Is this all your sister-in-law's idea?"
"right!"
Chu Xiao looked at the busy villagers, some were cleaning the road, and some were collecting garbage. Everyone was doing their work silently: "They are..."
"They are the property team, responsible for the sanitation of the entire living area, house repairs, road protection, maintenance of flowers and plants, pouring tung oil on street lamps, and maintenance of small squares. Anyway, they are responsible for all maintenance work of the entire living area!"
"This is so well done! Madam-in-law is really a strange woman, but it's a pity that she is born as a girl."
"It's not a pity, let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast!"
"Okay!" When Chu Xiao heard about breakfast, he immediately became energetic!
When he walked to the door of the restaurant, Chu Xiao could smell the smell coming from inside, but Jiuwan was walking in front, so he didn't dare to follow too closely.
Since the restaurant was converted into a self-service restaurant, it is not so crowded, and the kitchen staff is not under so much pressure. The people are all from poor backgrounds, and there are no restrictions on eating here, so no one wastes food.
Entering the restaurant, there were rows of long tables, neat and clean. The villagers took their meals and ate the food on their plates quietly.
Chu Xiao followed Nangong Yunteng's example and took a wooden tray and cutlery from the cabinet at the door. Behind him, Nangong Yunteng had been shocked since last night. Even now, he is still a little unaccustomed to this series of shocks. .
On the wooden counter are pots of food, steamed buns, steamed buns, meatloaf, steamed cakes, boiled corn, roasted sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, salted duck eggs, grilled sausages, pickled garlic, red dried radish with spicy oil, red bean porridge, and white rice. Porridge, egg soup, cold cabbage shreds, mustard shreds.
Chu Xiao got a little of each kind and sat across from Nangong Yunteng with a tray. On Nangong Yunteng's dinner plate, there was only a bowl of white porridge, an egg, and a plate of side dishes. Chu Xiao looked at the food in front of him and rubbed it. Rubbing hands.
The buns are stuffed with diced pork and cabbage. You bite into it and it leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth. It is full of meat. The rich aroma and texture once again surprised Chu Xiao: "Wow! It's so delicious!" with a mouth full of buns. Chu Xiao suddenly felt that the surroundings were so quiet. He subconsciously shrank his neck and looked around.
Seeing that everyone was lowering their heads to eat, no one looked at him. They were used to this kind of sound and didn't take it seriously. Besides, they had to go to work after eating, so how could they have time to look at others.
Chu Xiao shook his head while eating: "It's so fragrant, so delicious, this...wow!" These are things he has seen and eaten before, but eating them here feels very different and tastes better than The ones he had eaten were more delicious.
Nangong Yunteng frowned and looked at him with a smile on his face: "Can you be a little successful?"
"Brother Yunteng, you can't be reserved at all. What does it mean to be promising? I don't understand!"
While Chu Xiao was busy cooking, four people came in from the door: "Young Master!" This sound shocked the ninety thousand tiger body, turned back to the direction of the sound, and roared lowly. Chu Xiao was also startled, and a boiled egg almost fell down his throat.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Chu Xiao lowered his voice.
A few fools smiled and waved to him. When they heard the roar of Jiuwan, they turned around and took the tray to get the meal. Chu Xiao was stunned. How come they were as familiar with the road as if they had returned to their own home.
Nangong Yunteng put down his chopsticks and whispered: "They already had a meal last night!"
"Oh!" Chu Xiao just said oh, and immediately entered the cooking state again.
"How long have you been hungry?"
"I haven't had enough to eat since I met these idiots!"
After the fools got their meals, they also approached Chu Xiao. They had seen Jiuwan last night and knew that it didn't bite, but they didn't dare to approach Jiuwan. Chu Xiao turned around and saw that he was chewing something in his mouth. Their movements were slowed down, and each of their dinner plates was filled to the brim. They were piled up like a mountain, and even the plates were omitted.
"you..."
"Sir, the food here is so delicious!" The man called boss also lowered his voice.
"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat it!"
Chu Xiao finally cleared the food on the plate, rubbed his belly and burped.
Su Niyue also arrived at the restaurant at this time, took her meal and sat next to Nangong Yunteng. She glanced at the few people opposite who were devouring their food, but they showed no expressions. The people who had just come here were all the same, but after living for a while, they were no longer like this. .She knew very well that none of these people had enough to eat.
"What are your names and what do you do?" Su Niyue saw that the strongest one looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a cut-sleeve vest with a fur collar and his arms were bare. There were only a few people left. He is not very old and is only wearing single clothes.
"My name is Niu Zhuang, and I am a blacksmith!" the strongest one said angrily.
"My name is Niu Ding. I used to herd sheep for my employer. Niu Zhuang and I are from the same village."
"My name is Sun Kan, and I work as a long-term worker in my employer's oil mill!" This is the person who is called the boss.
"My name is Wang Cong, and I used to raise pigs for the landlord's family!" This is the one who doesn't like to talk much.
"What are your plans?"
"We are all from Cangzhou and County. There was a famine in our hometown. Several heavy rains washed away nothing. The fellow villagers who were with us on the road became separated and died, and some went up the mountain to become bandits."
"We almost made people... I don't know where to go now!" Wang Cong's mood became obviously depressed.
"We will go wherever the young master goes!" Niu Ding had just finished eating and finally opened his mouth.
"I'm not leaving!" Chu Xiao was full and filled up another bowl of egg soup!"
"Master, madam, please leave us here too. We have plenty of strength, we just need to give us food to eat!"
"You can stay, but you have to abide by the rules of Taoyuan Valley!"
"Well, okay, let's listen to what the young master and his wife say!" Several people didn't even eat, their eyes were shining with stars, they saw hope.
Chu Xiao: "Since they agree to you staying, you can stay, but talk less and work more!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Just follow the young master!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can eat enough, and I still have work to do!"
