Before saying goodbye, Ruan Meng asked Deng Zisong for help.
"Sir, do you have any resources to find skilled people on the other side who are good at growing grains, vegetables, and medicinal herbs?"
"We can inquire first, and when the time is right, we can bring the other party ashore."
Magistrate Deng and the village head exchanged a glance. Deng Zisong asked, "Is it grown in your yard, or...?"
Ruan Meng looked at Village Chief Feng and said, "When the time is right, we'll all plant it together. We'll cover the cost of hiring these capable people."
Village Chief Feng was overjoyed, and County Magistrate Deng could not hide his delight either, readily agreeing.
"Very well, very well, I will write a letter of divorce and ask the people on the other side to help me find a suitable match."
"There's one more thing that I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with. It's about using iron. I need to make some tools, but the amount of iron we can use is limited by the hoes and kitchen knives we buy at home."
"However, I don't want this matter to leave any evidence against us, after all, there are many areas in the future where we might need to trouble you, sir."
Deng Zisong pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Kai beside him and asked Ruan Meng, "Is the tool you want to make related to the He Family Restaurant?"
Ruan Meng thought for a moment and nodded, "You could say that."
Deng Zisong suggested, "How about this, you talk to this manager Xiao Kai and ask He Family Restaurant to make it for you. Merchants on the island, besides daily necessities, naturally cannot make tools such as kitchen knives and utensils according to the requirements of ordinary people."
"The He Family Restaurant is crowded, and the limits on the amount of iron used for the meal are also high. As long as the amount the girl wants isn't large, there shouldn't be a problem."
Ruan Meng explained, "Not much, not much, just a few will do."
Deng Zisong said, "You should discuss it with He Family Restaurant first. If you encounter any difficulties, then let me know."
Although he could make arrangements at his discretion, as Ruan Meng said, it was easy for people to leave empty promises.
As of now, he has decided to assist the Ruan family in building a successful business, and he doesn't want to get himself into trouble before things have even started!
First, it's not worth it.
Secondly, if even he is used as leverage to eliminate someone over such a trivial matter, the Ruan family will face even more people's pursuit and suppression.
In order to provide a safe haven for the Ruan family and Fengjia Village, he must first protect himself.
Before leaving, Deng Zisong said to the Ruan siblings and Village Chief Feng:
"Great! It's rare to find someone who's willing and capable of getting things done, and who can even lead the villagers to work together!"
"Old village chief, you'd better keep a close eye on this young family for the sake of the village!"
"They are the hope of Fengjia Village, and even the entire Nanxian County! I entrust them to you today. If there are any problems, take this message to the county government office to find me."
"If there are conditions, I will never refuse; if there are no conditions, I will definitely treat it as my own business and find a way to help everyone!"
Encouraged, Ruan Qian and Ruan Meng, along with the village chief, helped Deng Zisong onto the carriage.
As soon as Ruan Meng turned around, Xiao Kai took the initiative to say:
“Miss Meng, just tell me what you need and how much, and I’ll go back and tell the shopkeeper.”
"It's alright, no trouble at all!"
Ruan Meng smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite!"
"The carriage's gone. There's no work to do today. Are you going to leave it for tomorrow?"
"During your time here, I grant you the privilege of ordering your own food for every meal!"
"real?"
Xiao Kai was genuinely delighted; this way of expressing gratitude was unique and exactly what he wanted.
Ruan Meng laughed and said, "Would I lie to you? We just brought out some dry food from home. If you want to eat any seafood, I'd like to trouble you to come with us to go beachcombing this evening. We can catch whatever we want!"
"What's so difficult about that?"
Xiao Kai chuckled, never expecting to be proven wrong so quickly.
