Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-One: Plain Food and Simple Far

ely.”"That's good, that's good." Old Madam Li knew Zhang Shenyi's temperament well. The old man was too proud to lie, as long as he said it could be cured, then it would be fine.She held her son's han...For a long while, no one spoke in the valley. Finally, Mrs. Cui stepped forward two steps and smiled, "One thousand taels of silver may sound like a lot, but when divided among everyone, it's not that much."

Let Zhou Da Ren worry about this, when the village head and others come back, everyone can get together and discuss how to contribute. 。“That's a drawing too, I'll have to ask the adults for help!”

The other villagers woke up and quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, Zhou sir. For a farmer like us, spending a hundred taels to build a house is already a big deal." 。To suddenly hear that it's a thousand taels, really gave me a fright. 。"Yes, this valley is quite different from our farm courtyard." 。"Thank you, sir/madam, for your trouble." 。Zhou Da Ren is a person who is devoted to technology. His mind wasn't really full of twists and turns. 。He had already heard from Mr. Wen on the road that everyone was fleeing their homes and had no silver. Hearing that it would cost a thousand taels was surprising, and it was natural not to be angry about it. 。"Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely think it over carefully and try my best to spend less money, and make it as beautiful as possible." 。After all, this place is close to Kyoto. When the time comes, it will be those wealthy people who come to play. The hot spring courtyard can't be too shabby. 。Everyone nodded quickly. Just then, Jiaxi and Jia'an ran over and shouted, "Dinner is ready!" 。" Uncle Zhao quickly invited Zhou and his men, "Zhou sir, let's have something to eat first before we get started." 。The countryside offers little of value, please don't find it displeasing. 。" It was I who caused you trouble. 。Both sides were very polite, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious. 。Everyone lives in simple dwellings and cooks over earthen hearths. There's truly nothing much to offer guests. 。Tao Hongying put a lot of thought into making two dishes, one pancake, and one soup. The dishes were stir-fried cabbage wood ear with cured pork belly and cold mixed vegetables. The pancake was made from the five-flower pork that Li Laoer bought back the day before yesterday, chopped up and mixed with dried vegetables, then pan-fried. The soup was vegetable egg drop soup. 。 The white cabbage and black fungus are a visually appealing pairing, and the cold mixed vegetables also look vibrant green, with a refreshing sweet and sour flavor. 。The most impressive dish was the dried vegetable pork patty. The oiliness of the pork belly was absorbed by the dried vegetables, making each bite soft, fresh and fragrant with a hint of saltiness. Paired with a bowl of egg drop soup, it was truly perfect. 。Zhou Da Ren and several others originally thought that what the villagers said about "coarse tea and light meals" was just literally coarse tea and light meals. 。To their surprise, such a desolate valley, inhabited by a group of refugees living in makeshift shelters, would offer them such delicious hospitality. 。Seeing the villagers' bowls filled with sorghum rice porridge and simmered clear cabbage soup, they felt even warmer. 。Even without Mr. Wen's entrustment, they would still do their best to help build the hot spring resort. 。Not for anything else, but for these kind and simple villagers. 。Jia Yin was sitting in Lady Cui's arms at the moment, sharing a pastry with her. She ate with relish, her mouth smeared with oil, and couldn't help but feel proud of her mother's skillful cooking. 。Although Young Master Ye brought some food, and Madam Cui also brought some, there are hundreds of people in the village, and no one is willing to loosen their cheeks and eat a good meal. 。Today's scallion pancakes were made for guests, and besides Mrs. Cui, who was half a guest, there were also Li Lao Tai, Zhao Shu and a few others with injuries, each of whom received one. 。The elderly naturally enjoy eating, but they feel more sorry for the children. They simply make a show of it and give portions to the little ones. 。Mrs. Cui chatted with Old Mrs. Li and others, while Jia Yin ate and daydreamed. 。There are plenty of cabbages and radishes stored in the space. In a few days, when grandma's injury heals and she can move around freely, I can find an opportunity to take them out. I can just make up an excuse that I'm going to exchange them with people in nearby villages. 。The issue at hand, is still the fruit tree saplings in the space nursery. 。At this point, she desperately missed Master Ye. If he were here, he would definitely help. 。After all, at the beginning they paid with silver in one hand and medicine in the other, the transaction was still very smooth. 。Young Master Ye did not ask any questions or show surprise. His calmness and composure made Jia Yin subconsciously feel that he was more trustworthy than her grandmother. 。Grandma was just a peasant old woman, more concerned with her safety and self-preservation. 。But Miss Ye, regardless of her status or knowledge, is capable of shouldering all the dangers and solving all problems. She is currently the best shield. 。Unfortunately, when they first met, Master Ye was still Lord Xinting. Now that he has been promoted to Marquis and is a military marquis commanding troops, he is too busy to be seen. She wanted to catch up with him but couldn't...After lunch, Mr. Zhou measured a lot of detailed data and then took his people to say goodbye. 。The villagers thanked him profusely and escorted him out of the village for a long distance. 。Because they were thinking of Mr. Wen and the village head, everyone stood there for a long time, but unfortunately they still didn't wait for them to show up. 。Uncle Zhao then shouted to everyone to continue up the mountain to clear land. No matter how well-organized the hot springs in the valley were, both sides of the hills had to be tidied up. 。When chopping down trees and weeding, everyone got busy, so they didn't have time to worry about the thousand taels of silver anymore. 。As twilight approached, the sound of approaching horses grew louder and closer. Coincidentally, villagers came down from the mountain and immediately blocked the entrance to the valley, fearing that someone might come to steal the hot springs again. 。As a result, the horse team approached, and it was Miss Ye who jumped down. 。Everyone cheered and rushed forward shouting, "Young Master Ye is back! The Marquis is back!"Jia Yin was squatting by the hearth, keeping her grandmother company as they roasted fire. Hearing the cheers, she was overjoyed. She kicked up her little legs and ran towards them. 。Old Li was afraid that her granddaughter would fall, and wanted to chase after her, but the pain from her shoulder injury made it impossible. She could only call out to her daughter-in-law. 。"Quickly pick up Fuku-chan, don't drop her!"Homei took big strides forward, scooped up his younger sister and hoisted her onto his shoulders. 。Jia Yin grabbed her brother's hair and shouted loudly, "Uncle Ye! Uncle Ye!" Ye Gongzi was talking to villagers when he heard the child's tender voice. He turned his head and smiled. 。He strode through the crowd, going straight to the little girl and carefully kissing her fair cheek. 。“Little girl, I miss you!” “Yeah, yeah!” Jia Yin nodded her head vigorously, her face beaming with seriousness and joy, “I miss you, especially!”Master Ye smiled brightly, “After just a few days apart, our little Fu Niu can speak so clearly now” 。The villagers gathered around him as he sat by the bonfire. Mrs. Cui supported Old Li and they stepped forward to pay their respects. 。Young Master Ye personally helped the old woman sit down. The old woman missed her son and told him about someone stealing the hot spring water earlier. 。Young Master Ye had seen the hot springs in the distance long ago, and said, "I was just at the dock a moment ago, I just disciplined those two petty officials, and I was worried about how you would make your way here..." 。Unexpectedly, a hot spring was found in the desolate wasteland. This is good fortune for our village. 。Don't worry, no one can take it away!"

Everyone who heard this felt reassured, as if they had taken a tranquilizer pill, and their anxiety subsided instantly.

Young Master Ye continued, “As for Mr. Wen and the fourth brother, everyone needn't worry” 。The court's move here already caused a lot of friction, and now our village affair is merely a spark. The court probably has been waiting for this day for a long time. 。So, the result must be good, and tomorrow Lao Si and his friends will be back. 。He held Jiayin on his lap, his expression gentle and his voice firm, making people unable to help but be completely convinced. 。" Li Laotai said with a smile. "The village will be safer that way.""Don't worry, big sister. We're here to look after the village, and everything will be safe and sound." Zhao Shu patted his chest an...
