As Zheng Ruqian said.
The green beans in Xieyang County have already sprouted, and the stakes have been set up. Several honest villagers from Shilipu Village have been left to take care of them. In addition, Xu Mo's prestige in the county means that as long as the Niu and Ma families don't cause trouble, no one else will dare to act.
On the contrary, freshly made sausages require more care.
Jiang Sheng originally thought that she would go to the prefectural city herself to save everyone the trouble of traveling back and forth.
Unexpectedly, it was met with unanimous opposition.
Zheng Ruqian pinched her nose. "Little girl, you think you're all grown up and want to fly on your own? Don't think that just because you're nine years old, you can put people at ease."
Fang Heng put away his long staff and glanced at her sideways. "What, you cling to your brother when you need him, but want to be alone when you don't?"
Wen Zhiyun rubbed his neck and complained softly, "I need to ask Doctor Wu for leave. I'm not going to earn these five taels of silver."
Changyan blinked, then obediently massaged her fourth brother's shoulders and neck, casually saying, "I'm fine, I can go anywhere."
These words drew everyone's attention.
Xu Mo, in particular, spent the year as a clerk in Xieyang County, immersing himself in case files and dealing with all sorts of trivial matters. Although he helped improve people's lives to some extent, he also missed out on too much of his younger siblings' time.
In addition, the provincial examination will be held next year, so I need to concentrate on preparing for it.
Xu Mo picked up his teacup and said softly, "I have already resigned from my position as advisor."
The entire courtyard was taken aback.
Fang Heng was the first to speak, "Will Bian Wenxuan let you go?"
Of course not.
As soon as Xu Mo mentioned it, Bian Wenxuan rushed over and hugged his leg, tears streaming down his face, "Master Xu, don't go, don't leave me, how can you abandon us?"
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was crying over a heartless man.
Wang Xi, who was outside, rolled his eyes, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.
Master Xu is a down-to-earth and steady person. In the past year, he has not only won the praise of the people of Xieyang County, but also the utmost respect from his fellow officials.
But he also understood that Xieyang County was just a small place, not enough to fully display Master Xu's talents. Only a wider world was suitable for Master Xu to spread his wings and soar.
Bian Wenxuan also realized this. He got up feeling wronged, rubbing his nose vigorously with his official robes while huffing and puffing, "Go away, go away. From now on, the affairs of Xiyang County have nothing to do with you."
Xu Mo chuckled, "My lord, Xieyang County is my hometown, a place I will always cherish."
“What’s the use of worrying? It’s the help you lend a hand when something happens.” Bian Wenxuan said, his face flushed. “There are still thousands of homeless children who haven’t been settled. We don’t even know if they can afford to pay next year’s taxes. What am I supposed to do if you just pack up and leave?”
After he finished speaking, he was taken aback, and Wang Xi outside was also taken aback.
A year ago, Bian Wenxuan was a half-baked man who could abandon the people of the entire county for his own personal matters.
A year later, he actually started to worry about people's livelihood, taxes, and homeless children.
Everyone grows, and the years leave not only the marks of time, but also a mature mind, a comprehensive perspective, and an inclusive attitude.
Xu Mo cupped his hands slightly and said sincerely, "Don't worry, sir. If the bean business is doing well, I will advise my younger brother to buy more farmland to make it easier to settle the remaining homeless children."
"Xu Mo is leaving to prepare for the provincial examination, but the people of Xieyang County are still here. They are all entrusted to you, sir."
The figure in blue bent over, conveying both earnestness and a sense of responsibility.
For no apparent reason, Bian Wenxuan had shrunk by three inches.
With Xu Mo around before, he always acted recklessly and irresponsibly.
Now that Master Xu has resigned, the entire burden of the vast Xieyang County and its tens of thousands of people rests on his shoulders.
"Actually, sir, you can hire another advisor, but he might not be as good as Advisor Xu," Wang Xi whispered a reminder.
Bian Wenxuan turned around and jokingly scolded him, "You think you're so smart? The clerk is just an assistant. In the end, the county magistrate is the official who is the parents of the people."
He seems to have truly grown up.
In the small courtyard.
All six siblings were tidying up.
Jiang Sheng was enthusiastic and full of energy about the future of the workshop.
Zheng Ruqian was more experienced than her and had already given Manager Bai twenty catties to taste first.
As a result, before they even set off, Youranju Restaurant in Xieyang County resolutely ordered 1,000 jin of sausages.
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed.
Pang Dashan also brought a batch of dried vegetables with him when he went to Yunshui County to buy vegetables. The dried vegetable shop owner said he liked them very much and was willing to sell 200 catties of them at retail.
Everything is just like cured pork back then, but it seems to have a wider audience than cured pork.
After all, cured pork is a bit salty, and not everyone can eat it.
There are many flavors of Chinese sausage, which appeal to a wider range of people. As long as the recipe is protected, it will definitely be able to sell for a longer period of time.
Jiang Sheng was very happy, and his brothers were happy for him too.
However, once inside, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Chang Yan, ever meticulous, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Fourth Brother, but Doctor Wu won't allow you to take leave?"
Wen Zhiyun nodded, then shook his head.
Dr. Wu was extremely lenient with him, allowing him to take leave as he pleased, since he would get paid if he worked and not if he didn't.
It used to be fine; I would only occasionally take a couple of days off.
But this year, he has spent most of his time in the prefectural city. Doctor Wu is alone in the clinic, and it's unknown how busy he will be.
Wen Zhiyun felt extremely guilty and submitted his resignation, hoping that Doctor Wu would hire another servant.
Ideally, they should be able to stay in the county town for a long time and not leave easily.
Unexpectedly, Wu Suowei stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "You're still worrying about me? Think more about yourself. When I wasn't around, did you study the medical classics diligently? Did you identify herbs? Did you treat others?"
Wen Zhiyun was stunned, and shook her head nervously.
He has the first two conditions, but he dares not have the third.
Thinking back to the previous times she had treated patients, each time her family members had been injured as a result, Wen Zhiyun shook her head desperately.
Wu Suowei laughed again.
Laughing, he tapped Wen Zhiyun on the head with his medical book. "If you can't bear to leave your brothers and sisters and want to go with them, then go ahead. No one says that a good doctor has to be sitting in a clinic."
"But when you're out there, you have to be brave enough to treat people and explore the unknown, so that you won't have wasted those days."
Wen Zhiyun was stunned by the scolding and remained in a daze for a long time after leaving the clinic.
It wasn't until he saw Xiao Jiangsheng's smiling face that he suddenly realized what was going on.
During his time in the prefectural city, he buried himself in his studies, unwilling to go out and make deals, let alone take pulses for others, which caused his medical skills to stagnate. Only when he returned to Xiyang County and was pressured by Doctor Wu did he make some progress.
This won't do. Everyone is making progress, even his younger sister is trying to revive the workshop, so he, as the older brother, naturally can't be outdone.
Perhaps he should open a clinic in the prefectural city, just like his father.
