The old man was so angry that he kept crying out, and in return he was served several large bowls of medicine.
You have to drink it even if you don't want to.
Zhao Wei was torturing the old man himself. If the old man didn't drink it, he would have the ability to stare at the other party from morning to night.
After staring like this for only ten minutes, the old man swallowed the medicine in one gulp.
They no longer had any way to manipulate their grandson Zhao Wei at will.
But I no longer feel the same resistance in my heart as before.
This child has shown strong abilities. Sometimes, through some shining points in the other person, he can always remember his own youth.
The next morning, all the villagers gathered at the threshing ground.
Zhao Wei naturally had to read out to everyone the spirit of some documents issued from above. After going through all these formalities, the next step was to discuss the candidates for the five new team leaders.
It is mainly up to the villagers themselves to nominate ten people with both moral integrity and ability, and then everyone votes, and the five people with the most votes will get this opportunity.
From this moment on, the unfair and oppressive days of the past will be gone forever.
Everyone is more motivated, as if they have seen hope.
During this process, Zhao Wei did not show too much preference to the remaining three apprentices.
It all depends on their own abilities.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a small group of people who recommended Lao Wu as their apprentice.
He looks a bit honest, the type who works hard and is low-key, but reliable.
The key is that his background is recognized by many people in the village.
He has not yet started a family, and his family is simple, with only a father, and his mother had passed away long ago.
As for relatives, they are all kind people. Judging from their character, they like to help the weak and have the courage to jump out to protect the villagers.
Perhaps only people like this, after taking the position of team leader, will devote themselves to seeking benefits for everyone.
After an hour of fierce competition, Lao Wu successfully won and will become the captain of the village in the future.
From now on, he will truly be Zhao Wei's right-hand man.
Now, there are only two apprentices who have not found their place of residence.
Zhao Wei naturally couldn't let them sit idle. Everyone should shine in their own life.
Among the two apprentices, Master Lin is the easiest to deal with.
What he wanted was simple. He just wanted to have a stable and respectable job and no longer have to stay in the countryside to attend weddings and funerals.
Nowadays, everyone is living on coarse food, so who has the energy to organize such a banquet?
For a month, he only helped Zhao Wei's family prepare banquets, and the rest of the time he was just playing around.
In the past, when he was busy, he could eat meat every day. It is no exaggeration to say that since the disaster started last year, he has not been able to eat meat and can't even catch pig offal.
It was only after he became Zhao Wei's disciple that he started to eat meat every other day.
But this is obviously not enough. What he wants most now is to eat the emperor's food.
Zhao Wei kept this in mind, waiting for the time when Captain Zhou had some free time to ask where a cook was recruited, and then recommend his apprentice Lao Liu to the team.
It was the turn of the remaining disciple, whose name was Huangmao.
This name came from the fact that when he was a child, he had yellow hair due to malnutrition, so everyone called him this jokingly.
Moreover, the yellow-haired man also had the surname Huang, and it just so happened that many people called him by his given name, so this name, which was obviously a nickname, was unexpectedly used as a real name.
Huangmao was not in a very good mood and didn't even notice when Zhao Wei walked up to him.
"Master, is there anything you want me to do? Just tell me!"
Huangmao did not let his bad mood affect his communication with others.
This alone is enough to show that he is a good guy.
"Yellow Hair, from what I've seen around you, you are the most agile and strong among all the disciples."
"I have something to do. It's a little dangerous, but it can ensure that you have enough food and clothing. I want you to come with me and do it. Are you willing?"
Huang Mao smiled and said, "Master, what's the dangerous thing? As long as you are here, it won't be a problem, right?"
Zhao Wei also smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you follow me, nothing will happen!"
Huang Mao made the decision right away: "Then there's no need to say anything, just get started."
He is a straightforward person. He doesn't even bother to ask what he does. When asked, just say "do it".
Zhao Wei nodded and said to him, "Wait here. I'll finish hosting the meeting first."
Zhao Wei returned to the meeting place, sent all the elderly and children back home, and gathered all the able-bodied laborers in each household together.
This time, the training was about demonstration and explanation of mushroom cultivation, which is related to livelihood and is quite important.
To this end, he and Yunxiu picked a lot of mushrooms in advance, and took several pieces of wood as materials, and demonstrated to the hundreds of people present.
The smart people in the village have already started waiting for Zhao Wei to cultivate new mycelium, and then they will start to grow it according to his example.
The stupider ones keep asking questions over and over again, which really drains their energy.
Yunxiu took turns with him in this process, otherwise, she would have died of dry mouth and tongue long ago.
After the lecture, the sun was already setting.
Zhao Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Huangmao squatting by the threshing ground, drawing something on the ground with a branch.
When I got closer, I saw the crooked word "mushroom" with a string of numbers next to it - the cost of the mushroom sticks mentioned in today's training.
"You learn quickly." Zhao Wei kicked his shoes.
Huang Mao stood up hurriedly, his ears red: "Master explained it clearly, I will remember it."
As he spoke, he pulled out a wrinkled notebook from his pocket. On the title page, the words "Study Notes" were written very neatly. "I thought that if I could help the villagers with their accounts, it might come in handy."
These words made Zhao Wei stunned.
He originally thought that Huangmao was only suitable for physical work, but he didn't expect that this boy had such a delicate mind.
But there is an accountant in the village, and if he wants to take over the accountant's job, he may have to wait another 20 years.
Let’s just forget it.
Just as I was thinking about talking to him about future plans, I heard hurried footsteps in the distance, and the old president's grandson came running over breathlessly: "President Zhao! The sheepfold on the back mountain has collapsed, and several sheep have fallen off the cliff. Old Zhou asked you to go and have a look!"
Huangmao immediately picked up the hemp rope at the corner and said, "Master, I'll go with you!"
Zhao Wei said to him, "Don't worry, call a few more people. What can we accomplish with just the two of us?"
Huangmao immediately took his little grandson and went to each household to ask for help.
Soon, all those who had gone up the mountain to hunt were called over, and even the militia in the village were called over.
A group of people ran up the mountain on the gravel.
In the twilight, only a few crooked wooden beams remained of the collapsed sheepfold. The sheep were frightened and running around, with some of them still hanging on the edge of the steep cliff.
Old Zhou was so frightened that he trembled and quickly began to explain.
