Chapter 72 The Carnival Before Road Construction
In the blink of an eye, the city became clean again.
As the morning light spilled over the city walls, the streets were free of fallen leaves, and the filth no longer emitted an unpleasant odor.
Standing on the Xiaodongmen city gate, Su Jingge looked down and felt that even the air she was breathing was fresh.
It's much cleaner than when she first arrived.
This feels so good.
Now we can pave the road.
After completing her inspection tour, she stepped down, looked at the people, and officially announced: "The city's garbage collection is now complete!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Thunderous applause erupted.
Su Jingge looked at everyone and said, "The city is getting better and better, and this is all thanks to our craftsmen."
Xu Xuan was called up and forced to say a few words.
He scratched his head and said shyly, "Well, I don't know what to say." He looked at everyone's gaze and saw Su Jingge's encouraging eyes. His eyes were sharp. "Our Yuxiang County has never been this clean in so long. Every time I walk on the street and see the road like this, I feel very heartbroken."
"It is thanks to Assistant Manager Su's insistence that we have a beautiful home. I want to say that Yuxiang County belongs to everyone and needs to be protected by us. It is not the achievement of us craftsmen."
"Yuxiang County's cleanliness today is thanks to everyone's joint efforts in maintaining and supporting Assistant Su's work."
"I would like to thank everyone for their support!"
His words were simple, yet they expressed Xu Yuan's excitement.
Su Jingge watched as the man bowed deeply, and she shouted, "Good!"
She clapped, and everyone else clapped too.
The spring breeze is blowing, making it pleasant and wonderful.
After everyone dispersed, Su Jingge said to Xu Yuan, "You've worked hard these past few days, from the roof to garbage disposal. You and Yan Shu have been indispensable in helping me. I'll need to trouble Engineer Xu again next."
Xu Yuan saw Su Jingge perform a clasped-hands salute and quickly helped her up, saying, "Please rise, Assistant Manager Su. I cannot accept such a gesture from you."
"If it weren't for your trust and support, I would probably still be under Zhao Zhou's oppression. So, you are my benefactor. I will do whatever it takes if Assistant Manager Su says the word."
He then returned the gesture with a crossed hands salute.
"Alright, then I'll give the orders, haha."
The two exchanged a smile.
Next, Su Jingge began to give instructions on what needed to be done.
"Let's start construction from the East Gate. After a month, we should have enough bricks, right?"
Xu Yuan nodded: "That's right, I've already checked the bricks, they're perfectly usable."
Su Jingge nodded: "That's good. I was thinking of treating everyone to a meal before we start construction, and then holding another groundbreaking ceremony like the ones you have here."
"There's no need for such trouble, Assistant Manager Su. The brothers eat at your restaurant every day, don't they?"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Then you didn't drink any alcohol, did you?"
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood: "Ah, Assistant Manager Su wants to treat us to drinks, haha, great, it's been a long time since I've had a good time."
Su Jingge then said to Xu Yuan, "Let's have a good meal tonight, and then take another day off tomorrow. It doesn't matter if we get drunk; we can meet again at Xiaodongmen the day after tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). How about that?"
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
As he spoke, Xu Yuan went to call someone, while Su Jingge returned to the restaurant to prepare.
-
At 3 p.m., Xu Yuan brought the person into the restaurant as scheduled.
The restaurant erupted in celebration, just like during the Lunar New Year.
Su Jingge watched as her brothers took their seats.
She started ordering the dishes to be served.
The team inside the restaurant started to get moving.
Fine wine and delicious food were laid out one by one.
Soon the aroma of wine filled the air.
Su Jingge poured a full glass of wine: "Thank you all, you've all worked hard. I'll drink this first as a sign of my respect."
"Haha, great! Assistant Manager Su is truly a heroine among women, with an impressive capacity for alcohol!"
Xu Yuandao.
The rough men rolled up their sleeves, filled their wine bowls to the brim, and clattered the rough porcelain bowls together, not caring that the wine spilled on their clothes.
Someone picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in their mouth. After just one bite, they gave a thumbs up: "Delicious! The cooking is superb, even better than Tianbaoge!"
Xu Yuan stood up: "How can it be better than Tianbao Pavilion? There's no comparison at all. I'd say that the food and wine at Yunque Restaurant can't compare to Tianbao Pavilion."
The man gave an awkward smile: "I'm a roughneck and don't know how to talk, Assistant Manager Su, please don't mind."
Su Jingge smiled and said, "It's alright, we also have our shortcomings."
As the sun slowly set, everyone was so happy they didn't want to leave. Even passersby felt the lively atmosphere and wanted to ask for a drink.
Su Jingge immediately invited the person in.
Everyone says Su Jingge is magnanimous, forthright, and unpretentious.
No wonder Yunque Tower is doing so well.
In a corner, two young men were arm wrestling, drawing cheers and applause from onlookers. Even Ying Xiaohu, who had just gathered firewood, put it down to give it a try.
But people complained that he only had two fingers.
This means he's incompetent.
"You're so skinny, you look like a monkey."
"That's what the burly man said."
Ying Xiaohu retorted, "Can't you give me two fingers?"
The burly man nodded: "That's right."
Ying Xiaohu puffed out his chest: "Hmph—I'll give in then..."
o(╥﹏╥)o
Haha, which made everyone around him burst into laughter.
Su Jingge was eating peanuts at the front desk, utterly speechless, thinking he was going to say something like, "I don't need it at all."
And then, haha.
It feels so good to have such a lively atmosphere.
As a result, Ying Xiaohu lost.
He was unconvinced and said he would try again.
As a result, he lost three times in a row and was punished by having to drink three bowls of wine.
He pointed at the flying sword behind him: "What right do you have to bully me? If you're so capable, try competing with my master."
The burly man pointed to himself: "Me? Bully you? Brother, I even let you win by three fingers, and you still can't beat me. Isn't that just kidney deficiency? I wonder if you can handle a young lady, umm, hahaha."
Ying Xiaohu's face darkened: "You just said I was capable. You wait, I'll call you master."
He called out to Feijian, who crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile: "You guys have fun, I also have kidney deficiency."
Ying Xiaohu was unconvinced and pulled the man over: "Master, I have kidney deficiency. If you don't compete, you'll also have kidney deficiency."
Then everyone laughed and said, "Is there anyone in this restaurant who dares to compete? Are all the men in this restaurant suffering from kidney deficiency?"
"Ha ha,"
Fei Jian immediately recognized this as a sign of disdain for the men in the restaurant.
This reflects a skepticism about their masculinity.
Is that feasible?
He rolled up his sleeves: "Whoever loses has to drink three bowls!"
"Three bowls it is! Bring it on!" The burly man rolled up his sleeves.
The two sat facing each other.
In the first round, the burly man's face turned red, and he lost.
He considered himself the strongest person here, but he was still no thinner than this guy.
After three rounds, the burly man was drunk, but he still couldn't win.
Su Jingge listened to their commotion, then smiled, shook her head, and turned to look at Xiao Linyuan: "Your subordinates are really something, arm wrestling with people and even using internal energy, aren't they?"
Xiao Linyuan's eyes shimmered: [Didn't they say I couldn't use internal energy?]
Su Jingge threw him a handful of peanut shells: "You'll have to drink the penalty shot."
Xiao Linyuan blinked: [Why?]
"I don't care why, is it wrong to bully you because you're mute and can't speak?"
Xiao Linyuan smiled: "Alright, alright."
