The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 354 Guess

Zhulan went to the kitchen just now, there are only firewood, pots and other kitchen supplies in the kitchen, Wu Chun didn't buy any food for food, this is because she knew she would bring food.

Zhu Lan said: "Go and see if your sister-in-law has finished counting the food. After counting, ask her to move all the meat and vegetables brought from the capital to the kitchen. It's getting late and prepare the food first."

Zhulan counted the number of people eating, Zhou and Yang's family, and the generals brought by Wu Chun to help with the transportation, there were almost five tables of meals.

Fortunately, she knew that Lizhou City lacked everything, and she had enough preparations.

She bought a lot of sausages in the capital, plus the bacon that Mrs. Li learned to make in winter, she really brought a lot of meat here.

Yes, there are also hens and roosters. I bought a lot of hens in Chuanzhou just to lay eggs and eat them. After traveling for a few days, among the 30 hens, eight of them died and were eaten. Twenty-two have been placed, and the rest are listless and will wait for a few days.

Arriving at the new home was really busy, Zhulan put her things in order, locked the things that should be locked, and when everything was packed, she went to the west wing of the yard, which she reserved as a warehouse, where the capital city was kept. The gifts received, the silver and copper coins exchanged, etc., are all kept in the family property.

She checked again to make sure it was correct, then locked the door of the wing room, and then went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Li. The kitchen of this house is a small independent courtyard. Before she entered the yard, Mrs. Li's voice of instructing Xinghua was quite loud. Look at this The voice is really like a big lady.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming in, Mrs. Li rushed forward to meet her, "Mother, are your things in order?"

"Well, have you weighed all the meals for tonight?"

Mrs. Li snapped her fat fingers and said: "The staple food is cornmeal steamed buns, six dishes, five dishes and one soup, sausage, bacon fried with bracken, cabbage fried fungus, potato stew, spicy cabbage fried meat, and the last cabbage soup."

She also wants to make some good ones, but the things at home are really limited, and the meat is the wild boar bought at the fellow's house yesterday, and there are only six or seven catties left in total.

Zhulan felt that the food was pretty good. Lizhou City is not a capital city, and they can sell everything they want to eat. Now that Lizhou City is short of food, don't even think about eating meat.

Zhulan said to Mrs. Li: "The courtyard facing the gate of the main courtyard is for you to live in the big room, and you can move all your belongings there in a while!"

Mrs. Li was very happy. She was walking around after counting the food just now. The yards opposite the main courtyard were the best ones. "Thank you, mother."

Seeing her daughter looking at her, Zhulan

"Do you also want to have your own yard?"

Xuehan wants to live in a courtyard by herself, but she is also afraid, especially in a strange house, even if there is a shock of sting.

Zhulan saw Xuehan's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I won't be afraid to match you with a few girls when my mother buys some servants in a few days."

Xuehan squinted her eyes, she would not be afraid if there were too many people, "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan stood there for a while, and the two sisters-in-law and their daughters-in-law came to help with the cooking. This time, Zhulan didn't refuse. The family was really busy and lacked people.

When Wu Chun came back, it was dark, and when Zhou Shuren came back, it was over, it was dark.

Except for the boys of the Wu generation, the Yang family all ate and washed first and then rested, and the generals brought by Wu Chun also ate first. In the Zhou family, Zhulan asked Mrs. Li to take the children and Xuehan to eat.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back to eat together.

Zhou Shuren came back exhausted, took a shower and sat down, "I drank a lot of water all afternoon, and my stomach is growling, don't look at me, Wu Chun, you all sit down."

Wu Chun sat down, "Uncle finished handing over? Will the food be released tomorrow?"

Zhou Shuren ate a few mouthfuls of food before saying: "The handover is over. Tomorrow, the officials will go to the counties to notify them to pick up the food. By the way, let the counties re-register their population and change their household registrations. They will also record the situation of each household. I can do it too." Know more clearly about the situation in Lizhou."

Wu Chun was also starving. He had been craving meat for a long time. The sausage was delicious, and he took another sip of wine, "Uncle, the food you brought today looks like a lot, and it's really not much to distribute to the counties."

Zhou Shuren also knew, "There are still two food teams that haven't arrived. Let's divide them up to ease the situation. I have plans for the rest."

Wu Chun stopped asking, and said with a smile: "Uncle has worked hard all the way, I will respect uncle."

Zhou Shuren's heart fell to the ground when he arrived in Lizhou City, "Okay."

In the capital, the emperor flipped through the letter in his hand, and then gave it to the prince, "Look at it!"

The prince browsed quickly, and said with a chuckle: "No wonder Mr. Zhou asked Father for the right to control the silver. Mr. Zhou is very smart, and fifty thousand taels of silver can do things beyond fifty thousand taels of silver."

The emperor is also in a good mood, he saw the right person, and he is even more happy that not only Zhou Shuren's money has been broken into petals, but also that Zhou Shuren is sincere for the people, "Now I am looking forward to the future of Lizhou managed by our Master Zhou."

The grandfather thought to himself, and he was also looking forward to it, and then thought: "Father, in the future, we can follow Master Zhou's method by sending ministers to relieve disasters."

The emperor nodded. It was really stupid to send money directly in the past. The money was deducted layer by layer in the hands of officials, and it was really not much used on the victims. In the end, it is still up to the minister to serve the people, "You sort it out and write a note for me."

Prince, "Yes."

"Go down."

After the prince resigned, he still held the letter in his hand, and his steps were much lighter. He was really looking forward to what surprises Mr. Zhou would have!

In Lizhou, after dinner, Zhou Shuren and Zhulan lay down on the kang after washing up. They were obviously very tired, but they couldn't fall asleep.

Zhulan asked softly, "What rules do you have in mind?"

Zhou Shuren said: "There are a lot of regulations, but we just have to come here for everything. The first batch of food is distributed urgently. When the second and third batches of food arrive, I'm not going to let the common people pick them up for free."

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren have been calculating how to get more food and how to maximize the use of money. This is the first time to ask Zhou Shuren about the rules in his heart. After hearing what Zhou Shuren said, Zhulan pondered for a while and said : "Are you going to build something?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "The one who knows me is also my wife."

Zhulan snorted in her heart, it's easy to guess, okay, "Don't be poor, what do you want to repair?"

Zhou Shuren couldn't fall asleep when he saw the bamboo orchid, so he sat up and lit a candle, took the bag he brought back, pulled over the kang table and took out the map: "This is the detailed map of Lizhou City, take a look and guess what I want to do? "
