Chapter 126 The Rainbow After the Storm
Watching Qiao Qingfeng leave, Yu Baibai also started to get busy.
Put the spiritual spring water into the bucket and fill it up.
I lit the charcoal again and preheated the oven.
Old Master Yu was watching the children in the cellar and was currently chopping firewood in Yu Baibai's yard. He did not participate in that wave of defense.
Yu Baibai was making something by himself, and his heart unconsciously sank. This time he was making cookies.
Most baked goods require a lot of oil, and thanks to Yu Baibai's space, there is plenty of oil, so there is no shortage of it.
Before I knew it, I had made several batches of cookies and the aroma spread far away.
Cookies are easy to make. She has a mold and can make one with just one click.
Freshly baked cookies become crispy when cooled.
It took half an hour to make the first batch of biscuits and put them into straw baskets, filling two baskets.
Go out with both hands holding it.
She wanted to send it to Zhuge Huaijin.
Zhuge Huaijin happened to be there, and they were sitting in the big kang room talking.
Yu Baibai went into the house and saw Zhuge Huaijin sitting on the kang: "Here, thank you for saving us all!"
He put the two small baskets in his hands on the kang and pushed them towards Zhuge Huaijin.
Zhuge Huaijin looked down at it, not disdainful at all, picked up a small basket, opened it and picked up a piece:
"good smell!"
This thing is a new food! He has never seen it before!
Yu Baibai was proud: "Smells good! All for you."
Zhuge Huaijin raised his hand and rubbed Yu Bainiao's head without saying anything.
Yu Baibai: Why do you all like to rub other people's heads? If I don't grow taller, it's your fault!
Yu Yaozu frowned and sighed, "Mr. Zhuge, do you think we can get our food back?"
"This matter has far-reaching implications. Don't take any action. Just rest assured. Leave this matter to me and I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."
Some people just like to jump around on the edge of a knife. Now that their hands are stretched so long, it seems it's time to chop them off!
"Really? Thank you so much!" The village head was very happy, and a smile finally appeared on his face after being worried for several days.
Yu Yaozu rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly:
"Sir, you have helped us a lot. We should have invited you to dinner here, but unfortunately we don't have anything good at home. We will wait until next time!"
Zhuge Huaijin raised his hand to stop him: "No, I won't stay here for long. I have important matters to attend to. I'll have Xu Hu bring it to you tomorrow."
After saying that, he got off the kang, took the straw basket and left.
We came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Everyone was so excited that they kept sending the people off until they reached the village entrance and watched the team disappear into the distance.
The next morning an oxcart carrying things arrived.
Each of the carts was quite spectacular, and the food seemed to be much more than they originally had!
The village head stood beside the granary, watching the grain being stored:
"Great! Great! Thanks so much to Mr. Zhuge!"
Xu Hu stood aside and said with a smile:
"It's all thanks to all of you! That kang has benefited so many people! Even our prince is full of praise. The reward will be delivered soon! Good days are yet to come!"
"No, no, no! We didn't do anything with that kang..."
"Hey, you can't say that. You think it's nothing, but do you know how much less suffering our soldiers guarding the border will suffer if they have this kang?"
"Finally, they don't have to shiver in the cold in winter and can finally sleep warmly. Everyone is very grateful to you!"
He was telling the truth. This kang is now used by all the people outside, and his comrades no longer have to sleep in cold beds in winter.
Moreover, many of them had hidden injuries, and it would be much more comfortable for them to sleep on the warm kang.
Anyway, he likes it very much.
The prince did give something as a reward, but he didn't know what it was.
Today, everyone in the Yu family compound is at home, including Qiao Mu.
Qiao Qingfeng: "Stay and have dinner!"
Xu Hu was overjoyed: "Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful!"
Oh my! I can finally eat again. The food here is so delicious!
As he was speaking, a group of people came in from outside.
Everyone stopped and watched.
"Hey! Isn't this the palace's steward?" Xu Hu recognized him.
The butler and Xu Hu nodded.
"Congratulations! This is a reward from the higher-ups, sent to you." As he spoke, the man handed over a booklet.
The village head took the booklet, opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It was written on it that because of the contribution of the kang, the authorities rewarded each of their families with fifty acres of land, as well as some silver, money and grain.
This is a huge sum of money for them!
And they have land!
Where there is land, there is footing!
The head of the village and everyone else were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and kept thanking the housekeeper.
The butler smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"This is what you deserve. If you have any good ideas in the future, just tell us."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The head of the village smiled even more happily this time. He had land at home and food in his hands, so he was not worried at all!
The reason why they work so hard to make money is not only to have enough food to eat, but also to buy a few acres of land after the New Year!
Now the prince actually gave it to me directly as a reward!
The prince is such a good prince!
"Come on! Come on! Come inside! Her aunt! Cook! Let's have a good meal today!"
"Ah!" Spendthrift? That's as it should be!
What a reward! This is something that will be recorded in the family tree!
What's wrong with eating something good?
Yu Baibai was also excited when she saw everyone was so happy!
Why are you jogging to find the little kids?
Of course it’s the biscuits!
She has done so much!
……
The rewarded lands were all nearby, just around the village, very convenient.
The village chief took everyone from the Yu family compound to identify the land, including adults and children.
The village head pointed to a few slightly barren plots of land:
"We need to hurry up and take care of these plots of land! Spread the fertilizer and other things on the land quickly, while we don't have to plant anything now!"
"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry! Leave it to us!"
"We may not be good at anything else, but we are good at farming!"
"That's right! We must take good care of the land!"
The uncles, aunts and young men were all eager to try.
They can't make charcoal and sell things.
But farming is their forte! They've been farming for generations, so they're sure they can grow it well!
Next year, everyone will be able to eat the food they grow themselves!
They no longer have to pay high prices for food!
It makes me happy just thinking about it!
"Okay, okay! You all are great. I'm relieved to leave the farm work to you!"
The village head was so happy that he announced that this was the happiest day he had ever had in a long time!
A big stone in my heart has finally fallen!
He brought everyone here to escape the famine, which was a way to give an explanation to his ancestors.
The relaxed head of the village also has time to urge marriage:
"It's time for the young men from your families to find wives."
Yu Baibai: As expected! No matter the era, people can’t escape the fate of being pressured into marriage!
