Chapter 20 You're looking for someone, using a bounty? ???
"Thank you all for your cooperation. In that case, let's get started!" With Su Jingge's order, the three craftsmen began to work on the roof.
Everyone gathered below, watching as the craftsmen first removed the collapsed debris, revealing the bare beams. Seeing that the main beams were still sturdy, they replaced them with new rafters.
One by one, they were nailed to the beams and secured.
Another thick layer of reed mats was laid out.
Then cover it with wet mud mixed with grass clippings, smooth it with a trowel, and wait for the mud to dry. Then bring in newly fired blue tiles and lay them layer by layer from the eaves.
Although Zhang Laohan was old, he was still sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. He looked at the rows of green tiles and was deeply moved.
"Finally, I don't have to freeze anymore, Assistant Manager Su, how can I possibly thank you enough!"
Su Jingge helped the man up: "No, sir. I'm happy to do something for everyone. I hope we can all work together and not give up on our hometown. We will definitely repair Yuxiang County."
The crowd cheered in unison: "Don't abandon our hometown, let's work together!"
Old Zhang was overjoyed and wept, wiping away his tears; "Your father repaired it for me once before, and I never imagined it would be his daughter the second time. You are all good people!"
Su Jingge felt a warm current rising from the soles of her feet. There were many families like Zhang Laohan's. Even if they wanted to repair the house, they didn't know anyone. From choosing the blue tiles to the repairs, they had to run around on their own. How could someone his age do it all by himself?
If you outsource everything, the price will be much higher.
Su Jingge looked at everyone and they all knelt down to thank her, saying, "Assistant Manager Su, you are truly our benefactor!"
"Everyone, get up! How can I accept this?"
After the repairs were completed, Su Jingge instructed Zhang Laohan: "The gaps between the tiles have been sealed with mortar, so there won't be any more leaks."
"Thank you, Assistant Manager Su. I have some radishes that I dug up from the field. You can take some back with you."
Su Jingge refused, but the villagers were too enthusiastic, and she couldn't refuse. If she did refuse, they would say that she looked down on these things. The cart that was originally loaded with rubble was now full again.
"Alright, everyone, don't bother seeing me off anymore. I'm heading back now. Tomorrow, we'll proceed according to the household number order."
Although Gu Guang only had one man, that man was extremely efficient. It wasn't that the people sent by the county government were incompetent, but rather that they were too lazy.
At present, we can repair three houses a day, and the roofs of all three types can be repaired in less than seven days.
Great, we're one step closer to Prosperity City.
She doesn't have her own craftsmen yet, so she needs to cultivate her own talent to get things done.
After visiting three different shops in one day, the craftsmen were quite tired. She said to the three of them, "How about we have dinner at my restaurant? I have some good wine there."
The group was indeed hungry, so they agreed.
She walked back towards the setting sun.
[Ding! We've detected that some people are living well; you can now draw points!]
Su Jingge felt a buzzing in her head.
People can earn points for living a good life?
The system is fairly benevolent.
She saw that the points drawn ranged from 1 to 666.
She mentally said, "Lottery."
The colorful spinning wheel began to spin, and the reddest one only occupied 10% of the area, with a score of 666.
The chances of drawing a 666 are still too small.
That system is such a swindler!
The wheel stopped, and she saw that she had 100 points.
Okay, she's already quite satisfied. It can't be considered good if it's just one point.
Does that mean she can collect points as long as ordinary people live a good life?
Yes, host!
Sure, that would be great.
She looked at her current score: 890.
Including the 100 points I just earned, I'm only 111 points away from reaching 1001, hahaha.
Then you can unlock LV2.
Level 2 blueprints are available for exchange.
When the whole city prospers, her life will be even better. She might even be richer than in her previous life, with no zombies and no breakdown of order. How wonderful!
Unfortunately, merchants have stopped buying goods from her recently because everyone is still very wary of Zhao Liu after her outburst.
When she came out of the second circle, she saw that the county's notice board had been posted. Even the amount of money and the order of repairs for the second, third and first categories were clearly written. In particular, the picture of the steamed bun and the Yunque Restaurant was in the upper left corner, big and eye-catching.
She originally wanted to tell Xie Mo when she got back, but the poster had already been put up.
Xie Mo is really efficient.
But what's that bounty poster on the right?
She looked closely and saw that the person on it was a man, about forty or fifty years old, with a round face and an honest appearance. He didn't look like a fierce or evil person. Why was there a reward of one thousand taels?
Moreover... she looked somewhat familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she was from.
She asked the craftsman beside her, "What mistake did this person make?"
Gu Guang's craftsmen said, "I don't know. It was posted three days ago, but usually, people who post bounty notices aren't good people. A thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, but who would dare to capture them alive? These kinds of people must have a lot of lives on their hands."
"We're too dead to catch it, let alone take it!"
Su Jingge noticed the special emphasis on the instructions: "It must be alive!"
“Let’s go…” she said.
Before they even reached the restaurant, Qingyue and Weishuang came out to greet them.
"Miss, are you tired? Why are there so many dishes?"
Qingyue talked a lot, then smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I didn't do anything. These three brothers did all the work."
"The vegetables? They were given to us by the people, so they must be very fresh."
Qingyue looked at her mistress and sighed, "Every household in the county only has so much food. The fact that everyone is willing to share shows that you have earned their approval, but I'm worried that you're overworking yourself..."
"It's good that you're tired. It proves that I'm still alive. I had to keep an eye on things myself a few days ago. You can come and follow me in two more days."
"Huh? Can I?"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Of course you can. You manage the restaurant so well, you can also oversee the renovations."
"Okay, let's go back and eat. I'm starving."
Back at the restaurant, everyone gathered around.
Everyone was all smiles, talking about how much the restaurant had made that day.
Surprisingly, Ying Dahu, who works in the kitchen, can cook, and he cooks incredibly delicious food.
When Zhao Liu's men came to cause trouble, Xiao Linyuan scared them all away with a flick of his finger!
After hearing this, Su Jingge felt that the atmosphere was really good, with everyone getting along well, like a big family.
She paused, looking at the dishes: "Ying Dahu cooked this? It's really good!"
Shuang poured tea for Su Jingge: [It was that Chef Xu. Fei Ge was almost scared to death. In the end, he knelt down and begged for mercy. It was General Xiao who suggested that he teach his cooking skills to Ying Dahu, and then he would be spared.]
"General Xiao is truly brilliant!" Su Jingge looked at Xiao Linyuan and gave him a thumbs up. "He knows how to save money on hiring chefs, not bad, reward him!"
Xiao Linyuan's eyes crinkled into a smile: [Thank you, Assistant Manager Su.]
"I never expected Ying Dahu to be so talented, remaining silent all the time. I admire him," Qingyue said.
Ying Xiaohu cupped his fists in thanks: "Thank you all for taking care of my brother. I will definitely give him some pointers so that he can study hard and take over the restaurant's kitchen as soon as possible. Haha, cheers, everyone!"
The group was filled with laughter and joy.
The aroma of alcohol and food is the best flavor in the world.
After finishing her dinner, Su Jingge looked down from the third-floor window and saw that the renovated houses were brightly lit.
Such a peaceful and tranquil scene is truly wonderful.
The roofs of the people's houses have now been repaired.
Su Jingge went downstairs and saw that Xiao Linyuan was still awake, organizing the accounts at the front desk. She walked over and asked, "Uncle, is there any news?"
Xiao Linyuan paused, took a piece of paper from the counter, and placed it on the table.
【Found it.】
Su Jingge opened it and saw a wanted poster. The man on it had a round face and a simple, honest expression.
Her pupils widened. Holy crap, the vicious man with the bounty on his head was actually her uncle!
Why does it look so familiar?
