The Farmer Ger in the Apocalypse

Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was desperate...

Chapter 80 Lantang·Celebrating the New Year 4

After this incident, Shen Qing understood a little. No matter how many conflicts there are within a village, they are still united against the outside world: for example, when Shen Qing's house was robbed, those boys in the village who disliked Shen Qing said bad things about him, but they did not stop coming to help.

Because if a family in the village was robbed, it meant that their own family was also in a dangerous environment, and the next victim might be their family. They came to help not to help Shen Qing, but to catch the thief, eliminate potential harm, help the entire Lantang Village, and help themselves!

Could Shen Qing also take advantage of this and make those guys who hate him serve as patrolmen for him for free for the common good, so that the Wang family would never appear in front of him again?

Shen Qing hadn't thought it through, so he decided to throw out a question first to see how it went down. As soon as he said this, the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Shen Qing with wide eyes. Even Miao was surprised, because Qing Ge'er hadn't discussed this with her!

But thinking about it carefully, Qing Ge'er had just come back last night when she encountered that incident, and then she was busy all night, and went to Xiaoji Village early in the morning. Even if she wanted to discuss it, she had no time to talk to her! After thinking about it, Miao asked her child: "What workshop?"

"This is a good thing. To open a workshop, you have to buy land from our village. You can also make money by helping to build a house. After the workshop is built, you have to recruit some people from our village." Some people counted on their fingers. The Miao family made a lot of money by opening a small tofu shop, not to mention that a workshop was opened by a noble person from outside the area! This is a good thing that they have been asking for! Can they really open a workshop in their Lantang Village? Why does this sound like a dream!

Some people were even more greedy: "What business did Qing go to the county to do? What noble man did he meet? How did he know him?" The man's eyes rolled around, and he wanted to have eight hundred tricks: "I tell you, the people in the city are very cunning. We are all honest people in the village. How can we fight against them? Especially you, a boy, be careful not to be fooled by others. I think you should go to the city again and ask your uncle, the head of the family, to accompany you. It will be different with a man by your side!"

Shen Qing almost laughed out loud. He had seen many people in the village playing tricks since he was a child. But now he has seen more. Why do the tricks that he thought were quite powerful and advanced when he was a child seem so ridiculous now? Shen Qing waved his hand: "I just listened to that one ear, but I don't know if it will work. Maybe they have found a suitable village now. After the New Year, I will go to the city to ask around. If this thing can be done, I will talk to the village chief uncle."

The people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Their appetites were already whetted, and it was so frustrating to know that it might not work! They wished Shen Qing could go into the city to inquire right now.

Miao understood what he meant: "Are you going to the city again after the New Year?"

Shen Qing nodded: "Mom, you can stay at your uncle's house for a few days. After what happened to Old Wang's family, I'm worried about you being left alone at home. You can stay there when you return home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. I will prepare a generous New Year gift for your uncle's family then."

Miao didn't dare to live alone at home. She was really scared last night. "That's fine."

Someone slapped his thigh and joked, "If Qing'er can pull this off for our village, will your mother still have to go back to her parents' home? All the strong men in our village can take turns guarding your yard!"

Shen Qing smiled. This was exactly what he wanted. Everyone in the room wanted to ask him for more information, but Shen Qing said he was tired and didn't say anything. He just went back to his room to rest.

After Shen Qing left, the others had nothing to talk about, and they were anxious to talk to more people about this matter, so they soon dispersed. Someone left the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and said sourly: "You said that Qing brother has grown up and has become arrogant. A room full of aunts and uncles are anxious to ask him about the workshop, but he can just leave the whole room and go back to sleep!"

The people nearby glanced at Aunt Lian who was walking in front, and they wanted to cover her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense. Qing'er didn't sleep well all night catching thieves, so it's not surprising that he's sleepy. What if the second daughter-in-law of the Lian family heard you and spread the news, Qing'er would give this opportunity to his uncle's family and build a workshop in Shiqu Village. The opportunity for our village to make a fortune will be ruined by your words!"

"That's impossible. After all, Qing'er is from our Lantang Village." The person who spoke felt more and more guilty and dared not speak nonsense anymore.

In less than half a day, the news that Shen Qing had met a noble man and might build a workshop in the village spread throughout Lantang Village. People who came to inquire came one after another, but Miao Shi turned them all away, saying that Qing Ge'er was too tired last night and fell asleep. In the room, Shen Qing was fiddling with the books, comparing the two copies of the Three Character Classic with different handwritings: one was handwritten by Miao Tongsheng, and the other was found in the library in the end times.

"Qing'er, what are you thinking? Should this workshop be built or not? People keep coming to ask me about it, and it's getting so annoying." After sending away two aunts who wanted to ask about the news, Miao felt that her throat was dry from talking for a while.

"Build it, but don't build it lightly." The main concern is not business, and building a workshop to benefit the village is secondary. Shen Qing's goal is to improve the safety index of Lantang Village to ensure the safety of the Miao family. If necessary, Lantang Village should be divided into inner and outer cities like the Hongcheng base, so that the Miao family can live in the safest inner city, and even some people in Lantang Village should be guarded outside. "Don't worry about their sour words. I just want to put on a big show and let them know that if they make friends with me and follow me, they will definitely make money, but it's not so easy to make money by following me."

He wanted the villagers to beg him and cherish this workshop and the opportunity to make money, so that he could have greater initiative and voice in the village in the future.

The recipe that Shen Qing asked Song Kaiji to collect was later given to Tang's mother, and they studied it together with the video. Shen Qing had already learned to make tofu and gave it to the Miao brothers. The rest included starch sausage, sauce-flavored cakes, roasted gluten, spiced dried tofu, tofu skewers, etc.

Spiced dried bean curd and tofu skewers are also bean products, which can be used to expand the business of the Miao brothers. For the remaining items, Shen Qing plans to open a workshop in the village to make gluten and starch sausages. The villagers can make as much as they can. The gluten and starch sausages can be sold in the county town, and the rest can be taken to the end of the world. They can eat as much as they want.

Originally, he was planning to take out these two things and start a business with Aunt Lian Er and Aunt Guixiang, but he never found a good opportunity. Now he didn't have to find an excuse and the origin of the recipe. He just said that he was helping the noble, just like what the other world called a "manager", and pushed all the problems onto the noble, and then let Aunt Guixiang and Aunt Lian Er be the managers of the workshop.

"Mom, don't worry so much. Just eat and sleep. After the second day of the Chinese New Year, you can live with your uncle. Let the villagers get anxious and come to our door to beg us." Shen Qing flicked through the remaining books with his chin in his hand, thinking: "You can even spread some rumors deliberately, saying that you are willing to take care of your mother's family..."

Miao was shocked when she heard this: "Why do you have so many tricks now? If you didn't tell me, I couldn't think of such a trick even if I racked my brains."

It is sometimes beneficial to use it appropriately to grasp human nature and manipulate people's hearts. Shen Qing learned all this from the costume TV series and TV series explanations stored in Tang's mother's mobile phone. Although he is illiterate, he can understand what the people in the TV series say! Not to mention, those TV series are really addictive. Shen Qing only stayed there for one or two nights, and he almost watched the series all night, and didn't sleep for several hours!

These are just some TV dramas. If he could read books and learn to read... Shen Qing carefully compared the two copies of Three Character Classic in his hands.

Comparing word by word, many characters are the same, and many characters have similar fonts from a distance, but many details are different when you look closely. And the direction of the text is also different. The characters on their side are read vertically from right to left, while the one found in the library is from left to right. But Shen Qing is very happy. He is sure that the characters in the two worlds should be the same, just with slightly different writing methods. Qu Weiwei and Song Kaiji even mentioned that some regions still use their writing methods, and they seem to be able to understand their own characters.

This means that he also has the opportunity to learn the characters on both sides! When Shen Qing thought of this, he decided to prepare another New Year gift and visit Miao Tongsheng's home on the second day of the New Year to learn more characters.

"How long will you stay there this time?" Miao was about to pack her clothes and valuables.

Shen Qing paused while turning the pages of the book. He didn't know how long it would take. It all depended on how Song Kaiji's parents were doing. But it shouldn't be more than a month, so he said, "Six or seven days less, a month at most. Tell others that I went to the city to work for that noble. If I don't do what the noble wants, the workshop will be in trouble. I don't think anyone will say anything."

Miao was very surprised: "So long?" In the past, Shen Qing always went there and came back on the same day. Miao was surprised that he stayed there for two days this time, but she didn't expect that he would be there for even longer this time: "Did something happen over there?"

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment, but still hid the zombie-related information about Song Kaiji's parents and simply told Miao: "He refuses to accept his fate and plans to go look for him himself. I want to go with him."

Miao was heartbroken when she heard this and sighed, "This is also a poor child. Why are there so many bad people in this world?"

Shen Qing was silent for a moment and sighed. There are good people and bad people in this world, just like there are nights and days in this world. If you catch up with those bad guys, just like the Wang family, you can't hide from them, you can only be more careful.

Just like this time, Shen Qing also considered letting Miao live in the big house in Anping County. But firstly, the house was empty, many things were not fully prepared, and it was a strange place, and he was afraid that Miao would not be able to get used to it. Secondly, they were not familiar with the temperament of the servants in the house, and who knew if they would meet a bad one? It would be better to go back to her parents' home. The house was not as good as the one in the city, but the people around her knew her well.

However, thinking of the house in the city, Shen Qing decided to go into the city again. He asked his agent to inquire about the purchase of Dongshan, and found out whether there was any result.
