Chapter 91: The killing power of the second master
Because Captain Guo suffered the consequences of his own actions, he was happy.
He was even more pleased because Ming Yuxuan had shot himself in the foot.
What made me happiest was that Lord Ye from the county was willing to uphold justice for Huibinlou.
"Lord Ye did not protect Captain Guo and dealt with him impartially. He is truly a good official."
"Of course I am. I feel much more at ease in the future."
"When you burn incense in the future, please burn one for Lord Ye, and bless Lord Ye to be safe and sound, and to be promoted to a higher position..."
“…”
Did Lord County Magistrate Ye really just handle the matter impartially, or was there some other reason? Wu Jiantong recalled Ye Yongwang's politeness and respect when he went to the county government office. He always felt that he was not like a fair and strict official, but rather had some other reasons.
Could it be that there was something about his own boss that made Ye Yongwang afraid to curry favor with him? Wu Jiantong was a little curious, but also a little confused.
But he felt that he didn't need to figure it out.
After all, the matter has been resolved.
Moreover, Ye Yongwang took charge of Huibinlou this time, and the others also saw it. They were all smart and naturally knew what to do next, and did not dare to cause trouble for Huibinlou again.
Wu Jiantong was in a good mood.
There were no more troublemakers at the door, and guests gradually came to the guest house. Wu Jiantong was busy greeting them.
Su Yujin was relieved to see that the problem was solved.
It was getting late and I didn't want to go back to cook, so I just took a few dishes from the kitchen.
Vermicelli casserole with minced meat, pork ribs stewed with taro, celery and dried tofu, lettuce with oyster sauce, the staple food is steamed rice with Chinese sausage, and the soup is an appetizer hot and sour soup.
Su Yujin and Ai Cao took all the food back and ate with Mother Liu.
After lunch, Ai Cao and Mother Liu took advantage of the good weather to take out the bedding and quilts to dry them in the sun, and washed those that needed to be washed.
The soapberry liquid is made by Liu's mother herself. She adds some brown sugar to help the soapberries ferment. The soapberry liquid is diluted with water before use. It tastes a bit like modern laundry detergent.
Mugwort and Mother Liu put some flower petals into the washed clothes, especially those that were worn next to the skin, so that the clothes would smell light and fragrant.
While the two of them were busy, Su Yujin, who was basking in the sun and drinking tea in the corridor, subconsciously looked at the closed gate.
Speaking of which, since that New Year's Day when he met He Yanxiu while being harassed by Ren Jianbai, Ren Jianbai has never come to the house again, and the house has become much quieter.
Facts have proved that the second master's lethality is still very strong! Su Yujin narrowed his eyes.
The spring sunshine made people feel warm. Su Yujin felt comfortable basking in the sun in the yard. Seeing Mama Liu and Ai Cao busy, she felt a little restless too, so she went to the street to buy a duck and stewed it with sour radish and duck soup.
When the time agreed with Manager Sun arrived, Su Yujin took Ai Cao and Qingkui and followed Manager Sun in a carriage to the farm early in the morning.
The farm is to the west of the county town. We set out at dawn and arrived at the farm at exactly 9 o'clock in the morning.
The head of the farm was named Niu Dali. When he saw that Manager Sun had brought the buyer to see the farm, he warmly invited the buyer to sit in his home.
Niu Dali's wife, Zhang, hurriedly took out the tea leaves that she usually didn't want to drink to make tea.
Su Yujin also took the opportunity to take a look at the situation at Niu Dali's home.
Niu Dali was a young man in his twenties, tall with dark skin. His wife Zhang looked honest and decent. Her clothes were a little worn but clean.
There were several children in the family, of different ages, boys and girls. When they saw there were guests in their home, they did not dare to come near. They just hid in the house and secretly took a look through the door curtain.
If discovered, they would quickly hide in the house and try their best not to make any noise.
Obviously the family education is good and the rules are well established.
"How many households are there here? How was the harvest last year?" Su Yujin asked.
"There are a total of 32 households here. If we count the number of people, including the elderly who cannot move in the house and the babies, there are a total of 163 people."
Seeing that the buyer was a young girl with outstanding appearance and good clothes, Niu Dali was quite embarrassed to speak. "Last year, the wheat harvest was good due to favorable weather and good harvest conditions. We harvested more than 300 kilograms of wheat from one acre of land. But in the fall, the rain was a little frequent, and the ears of corn were not big. We only harvested a little over 400 kilograms of corn from one acre of land."
"In general, it's not bad. Apart from the rent, each household can still have some surplus food for their daily meals in a year. If we collect and sell some, we can save some money."
But it was just for emergency use, to see a doctor, or to buy new clothes for the New Year. There was nothing else.
Niu Dali didn't say this out loud.
Last year's harvest was okay, but life was still tight. If it was a year of drought and little rain, the harvest would surely be even worse. If Su Yujin despised the poor harvest and was afraid that they could not pay the rent, and did not buy the farm, that would be inappropriate.
"It's okay." Su Yujin nodded.
The harvest was pretty much as she expected.
Seeing Niu Dali's worry, Su Yujin looked around the house and said, "Your house is very unique. It's warm in winter and cool in summer."
"It's just a house made of mud bricks. We built it thicker to prevent it from collapsing." Niu Dali smiled a little embarrassedly, "Only Miss Su doesn't mind."
"Miss Su, do you want to go outside and take a look at the fields and other farmers?" suggested Manager Sun.
"Okay." Su Yujin responded, followed Manager Sun, and went out for a walk under the guidance of Niu Dali.
Qinghe County is located in the north, and the wheat grown here is winter wheat, and this place is no exception.
The wheat planted in late autumn and early winter is now green again after the New Year. The wheat seedlings, with their tips turning yellow during the winter, are stretching themselves under the spring breeze and growing hard.
Looking around, rows of green wheat seedlings are rolling in the breeze, like layers of green waves, which is very comfortable to look at.
There were already quite a few people working in the fields, busy clearing the weeds that had grown in the spring, loosening the soil and applying fertilizer.
On the edge of the wide green waves are rows of low houses, like Niu Dali's house, with each household arranged in an orderly manner.
The women gathered together to do needlework, and the children either helped with chores around the house or played in groups of three or four.
Next to the big stone mill, there was a donkey pulling the mill, helping people grind the corn kernels into fine corn flour.
The overall scene is a comfortable farmhouse.
Su Yujin looked at it and nodded slightly.
Niu Dali was introducing the situation of each household, such as how many people were in the family, how much land they rented, and what their personalities were like.
As they were talking, a girl of about eleven or twelve came running over in a hurry.
