Chapter 283 There are too many projects
"Salty ones are fine, but I'm afraid I can't make sweet or spicy ones," said Feng Lizheng.
After all, every household needs to eat salt, so it is not difficult to make it salty.
But sweet and spicy are different.
Sugar is a luxury, not to mention chili peppers.
"Ding ding!" Little Dumpling called Ye Yanping, "Give him Meng Tangtang and Chili!"
"Master Xiaojiu!" Li Zheng Feng's voice trembled with emotion. "I heard that these peppers are very expensive. Most people don't buy them. How can I afford them?"
"No!" Xiao Jiuer looked at Ye Yanping, "Hey, a pound of candy, a pound of chili peppers! Give it to him!"
Ten pounds of sugar and two pounds of chili pepper can season a lot of tofu pudding.
"Okay, girl, where should I get it?" Ye Yanping asked tentatively.
"Go to Qitang!"
"Got it!" Upon hearing this, Ye Yanping hurried to the ancestral hall.
Inspired by the two village heads above, other villages began to speak enthusiastically.
Eventually, each village decided on its own money-making project.
Zhushan Village:
Because there is a bamboo forest on the back mountain, we sell bamboo tube rice and bamboo woven items.
Xiaotuanzi gave them some drawings, and the bamboo artworks in them ranged from animals to birds, all of which were extremely exquisite.
Dahuai Village:
Selling corn cakes.
Because the village head said that there was an old lady in Dahuai Village who made delicious steamed corn cakes.
Xiao Jiuer gave 20 kilograms of sugar to Dahuai Village, asking them to add sugar when making corn cakes to make them more delicious.
Red Maple Village:
There is a maple forest on the back mountain. It is very beautiful in late autumn, but now there is nothing.
The people in Hongfeng Village were saying that they had grown a lot of onions, and Xiao Jiuer asked them to sell scallion pancakes.
The new wheat in Hongfeng Village was ground into flour, but all the oil except for household use was sold.
Xiao Jiuer gave rapeseed oil and the problem was solved.
Baxia Village:
It is the smallest village and is extremely poor. Its only advantage is that there are a few chestnut trees in the village.
Xiao Jiuer gave them sugar and butter and asked them to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Baitang Village:
Baitang Village is called this name because there is a pond in the village with some wild lotus roots in it.
Now is not the season for harvesting lotus roots, so Xiaotuanzi took out a cart of lotus roots from the space, gave them some sugar, and asked them to go back and make lotus root powder.
Lijiapu:
Lijia Pu was about to cry because he really couldn't think of any advantages.
Except for raising a pig that is not found anywhere else in the surrounding area.
When Xiao Jiuer asked him to kill the pig and sell roujiamo, Li Jiapu burst into tears, "It's still a piglet, less than two months old, you can't kill it!"
"Don't cry!" Little Jiuer waved her little hand, "Hey, hey! Give him some meat!"
After a while, the man from Li's shop came back carrying half a pig, crying and laughing.
Tanjia Bay:
Tanjia Wanli was hesitating, and he couldn't think of anything no matter how hard he tried, except that the village had harvested a few extra big pumpkins last autumn.
Xiao Jiuer asked Tanjiawan to make pumpkin cakes and gave them glutinous rice flour and white sesame seeds.
Of course, these novel snacks are basically not made in each village, so everyone needs to ask Yunniang for advice.
Yunniang has a recipe that contains everything.
Now, only villagers from Heihe Village are left on the scene.
The inn was set up, the dishes were all prepared, the rice had been steamed, and the water in the pot was boiling.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Suddenly, the villagers on duty on the city wall shouted, "There are lights in the distance. They must be lanterns on the carriages! They are coming!"
One sentence reminded the little dumpling, "Wo Meng also hangs lanterns!"
The big red lanterns were right at the foot of the city wall. The villagers immediately took action, lighting the candles inside the lanterns and hanging a few under the eaves of each inn.
The whole village joined in and soon more than a hundred inns were decorated, and then the city walls were decorated.
Xiao Jiuer’s decision turned out to be correct, and the atmosphere was immediately created.
At first glance, the brilliant lights are warm and shining like night pearls, exuding a festive and warm atmosphere that makes people feel better.
“It’s so beautiful!”
“How festive!”
Although the villagers were very tired, they were very excited.
Zhou Huaining's carriage was at the front of the convoy.
In the carriage, Zhou Huaining had already fallen asleep.
This was the most tiring and exhausting day since he became county magistrate.
He thought it would be easy to bring these people to Heihe Village, but when he entered the county town, he realized that things were not simple.
Among the tourists, there were many people he knew.
Among these people, a small number are his bad friends, and a large number are people who have grudges against him.
His friends asked him to be their guide to find delicious and fun things to do;
Those who had a grudge against him knew that he was the county magistrate here, so they deliberately belittled Xianchuan County in front of him.
If the county magistrate had not held him down, he would have probably started a fight in the streets.
In short, I feel tired.
"County magistrate, wake up!" the county magistrate called out, "They should be arriving soon!"
Zhou Huaining didn't even bother to open his eyes. "We'll talk about it when we get there."
"County Magistrate, how can you sleep?" The County Magistrate was so anxious that his mouth was bitter. "We have brought so many people here, how will this end?"
"Besides trusting Heihe Village, is there any other way?" Zhou Huaining yawned lazily. "Now that things have come to this, don't panic. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. If there's any shame, it's me."
The worst that could happen is that you'd be mocked and then get into a fight.
The county magistrate sighed silently in his heart. He was worried about the development of Xianchuan County, while the young master was worried about whether he would lose face.
But the fact that the young master could say this at the critical moment is much better than the county magistrate who could only pass the blame before.
At this time, a voice came from the carriage behind: "Zhou Huaining, do you have any brains? You brought us to the mountains because you are afraid that we don't know how poor your county is!"
"Hahaha..." A loud laugh was heard.
"Hey, son, wait for your father!" Zhou Huaining was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"My two lords! Look outside quickly!" Wu Yong shouted from the front.
"What are you looking at! Stop the car, I want to fight with them first!" Zhou Huaining said unhappily.
The county magistrate was already worried and immediately lifted the curtain.
I can’t close my mouth after seeing this!
"How beautiful! So many lanterns, lighting up all the way to the horizon!" Wu Yong couldn't stop praising. "This atmosphere is no less impressive than the ten-mile-long streets of the capital!"
Zhou Huaining laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying, "I knew that Heihe Village would never let me down!"
"Master, that's not what you said just now!" Wu Yong ruthlessly exposed him, "You've been worried about being embarrassed!"
Zhou Huaining was in a good mood, "Xiao Jiuer won't embarrass me, I am her favorite uncle!"
"Look, is there a house in front?!"
The county magistrate stood up excitedly, "Are they all densely packed with houses? Am I dazzled?!
"Am I dreaming?"
