Chapter 346: Dazzling Wife

Chapter 346 Show off your wife

He Xiaodie, who led the little boy to find the inn, has returned. In fact, both Yu Zhi and He Xiaodie know very well that there is no inn in Shanyun County that can accommodate so many people.

There are only two inns in Shanyun County. They are not big, but they are enough for Yuzhi to stay temporarily. As for the others, isn't there an open space next to the county government? Let's make do with it first.

It’s not that Yu Zhi is special, it’s that she is a female family member, and with her status, she has already arrived in Shanyun County, so she is really not suitable to hang out with a group of men.

Shiliu mentioned this matter when she was delivering lunch to Wen Jiuxiao and Lan Huanping.

Lan Huanping slapped his forehead and said with some embarrassment: "I am alone, so I don't bother to clean up the inner house at the back. I live in the official office in the front, but I have neglected Madam..." He glanced at Wen Jiuxiao and hesitated.

After a while, he said: "The back part has been in disrepair for a long time. If you want to live in it, it will probably need major repairs."

"It's okay. There are many people here, so the repairs can be made quickly." Wen Jiuxiao waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and called Qingfeng, "Take the people to clean up the back. Please tell me what kind of repairs you can make, Madam."

Then he turned to Lan Huanping and said, "If you want to buy something, please ask Mr. Lan to show you the way."

Lan Huanping turned his head and looked outside. There was no familiar face, which made him feel embarrassed. He wanted to ask Qiao Bo, the doorman, to go, but Qiao Bo didn't speak Mandarin. He had to ask him to call Zhai Yougui, the policeman who lived nearest here.

"Shanyun County is a small town and there are no cases. Everyone is idle in the yamen every day, so the old man made the decision and asked them all to go back. If anything happens, call them again." Lan Huanping explained with some embarrassment.

Of course, there is another important reason that Lan Huanping is embarrassed to say, and that is that the yamen is too poor. In a prosperous place, the catchers in the yamen can only make two or three taels of silver a month. No matter how poor they are, they can only make one tael. But.

In Shanyun County, sometimes they could get two to three hundred cash, and sometimes they could get dozens of cash. Lan Huanping squeezed this out of his own salary.

How could he support his family with such little money? He had no choice but to ask them to find another job when the yamen was free. Otherwise, no one would be willing to work as a police officer.

Zhai Yougui was helping others build a house. When he heard that Master Lan was looking for him, he dusted off his clothes and came over, "Sir, are you looking for the younger one?"

Lan Huanping looked kindly and nodded to Wen Jiuxiao, "This is the new magistrate of our Shanyun County, Mr. Wen. He is new here and is not familiar with everything in the city. He led the steward to buy some things.

"

"Hey, I obey." Zhai Yougui is tall and burly. He has a simple and honest face, but he is actually very shrewd. He bows to Wen Jiuxiao, "Little Zhai Yougui has met Mr. Wen."

Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "It's time for Zhai to arrest you."

Zhai Yougui said quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare." He lowered his head, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest. The new county magistrate was obviously very young and spoke very politely, but his aura was extremely powerful, making people laugh.

Don't dare to be the slightest bit lazy.

After lunch, Wen Jiuxiao and Lan Huanping continued to hand over various official duties.

Yu Zhi directed people to repair the house, put in new tiles, new windows, new doors, clean the house, and put on new window paper. Look at the walls, forget it, just paint them inside and out.

The grass in the yard is clean and the ground is leveled. If the houses are not enough for living, then build a few more.

What should I do if there is still not enough room? Yu Zhi asked Qingfeng to ask, "Does the open space next to it belong to the county government?"

Qingfeng quickly asked for instructions and came back, "Back to Madam, County Magistrate Lan said that the open space near the government office belongs to the county government. You can do whatever the third master wants you to do."

That's great! Yu Zhi waved her hand and built staff dormitories. She took a pen and paper and showed it to Qingfeng. The guards and male servants lived in the front, the maids lived in the back, and there was also a family courtyard where the married people lived, a big kitchen... Considering

The guards need to practice, and a martial arts arena needs to be set up.

There are more than 200 people. Everyone performs their duties. Isn't it quick to start work? By evening, Yu Zhi no longer needs to stay in the inn. The main room where she lives has been packed out. Of course, in half a hour

She won't be able to get a bed she's satisfied with, but there's a soft couch, so it's okay to make do.

She still didn't know how long she would stay in Shanyun County in the future, but Yu Zhi didn't want to settle for the bed she wanted to sleep on. She liked the bed her father gave her very much, and wanted to buy another one. It didn't matter if it was small, it was made of wood.

It usually doesn't matter, but it has to be comfortable.

Zhai Yougui was shocked, this, this... He wiped his eyes and looked carefully. He had only led people to buy things a few times, but the inner house had already been completely renewed. The walls were so white and the floor was so smooth.

He looked at the open space next to him again. There were a lot of stones and wood piled up. How could he get all the stones and wood back in such a short time? He was so capable, right? He saw that on that field, whether they were guards or servants, they had so many people on their hands.

Everyone is busy, no one is idle, and no one is lazy.

Zhai Yougui felt his blood boiling as he looked at it. He wanted to join them. Something quietly arose in his heart. Somehow, he felt that maybe the new magistrate would bring big changes to Shanyun County.

He felt hot in his heart and quickly went to find his agents. The new county magistrate's people had already done it. As locals, they couldn't lag behind, right?

Yu Zhi was instructing people to dig the foundation. She didn't know whether people in ancient times laid foundations when building houses. Anyway, in modern times, when building a house, you need to lay a foundation, so that the built house will be strong and not easy to collapse.

"First pull the thread to see if it is straight, draw the line, and dig along the line." I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running, and it looks like this. As for the details, leave it to those who know the ropes.

The kitchen in the inner house was also cleaned up and the stove was rebuilt. However, the kitchen was too small, with only three stoves, and could not feed so many people. Moreover, the weather was so hot that there was no shortage of water.

It was too late to build a new kitchen, so Yu Zhi had people build a stove in the open air. One large pot was used to heat hot water, two large pots were used for cooking, two more pots were reserved for steaming steamed buns, and one large pot was used for cooking.

, six stoves in a row, quite neat.

So for dinner that day, everyone had two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, soft big white steamed buns, and fresh bamboo shoot soup. Of course, smelling the light of Jiuxiao and Lan Huanping touching the remaining branches,

What I eat is Xiao Zao.

Yu Zhi cooks it himself, so I have a good impression of it. Yu Zhi never finds anything troublesome.

"Zhuo Jing's craftsmanship is just home-cooked side dishes, and I would like to ask Mr. Lan to appreciate it." Wen Jiuxiao said modestly, but his expression was full of pride. His family Zhi Zhi just felt sorry for him, so as soon as he settled down, he would cook the dishes himself to reward him.

he.

No matter how stupid Lan Huanping was, he could still hear his showing off. Is it really okay to show off his wife in front of a lonely old man like him? It seems like no one has a wife. He will be able to leave office and return to his hometown soon, and then he will be able to live happily ever after.

My wife cooked the food.

Although it is a home-cooked meal, Yu Zhi's cooking skills are really good, and several dishes are very delicious, especially for Lan Huanping, who always has a clear soup that is not watery. This is simply too delicious.

What should I do? Praise! Everyone has already shown off. How ignorant would he be if he didn’t praise him? He is an old man who is not annoying.

Wen Jiuxiao felt even more proud!
