Chapter 36:

"Frying the stove..."
"This matter..."
Chen Banxian said to Lin Yuan with difficulty: "It will take some time."
They can't do it without frying the stove.
Lin Yuan got the fake jade that could almost be faked, and he was in a good mood, so he said: "This is not anxious, but the prescription of the fire
medicine can't be slack, you have to work harder."
Chen Banxian: "This is natural, we have to rely on you, the owner."
Lin Yuan waved his hand: "You don't have to say flattery. Doing your own affairs will always benefit you."
The reward for making jade has already been given to them.
Everyone was rewarded with a bamboo rat, and the kitchen was ordered by them.
In the absence of meat, this reward is very attractive.
Jiang Guang left two days later. When he came, he brought a cart of medicinal materials. When he left, he took away only the huge fake jade. Chen Baisong and others naturally followed Jiang Guang. After all, they took the job. , It is related to the fact that there is only half a month's food in the stockade.
Now Chen Baisong and the bandits and bandit dens near their place have long been taken by them.
If you want to have a full stomach, you can only find a way to catch up.
"Occasionally, it's okay, let's come and have a look." Lin Yuan said to Chen Baisong.
Chen Baisong nodded, he turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Master, if you have anything, call me, this is where I am."
After speaking, he handed a map drawn on linen cloth, and Chen Baisong pointed to a place and said, "This is where I am."
Lin Yuan solemnly put away the map. It seems that there are many talented people under Chen Baisong's hands. Normal people can't draw such a map.
"Master, treasure it." Chen Baisong clasped his fist.
Lin Yuan smiled at him: "You too, be careful all the way."
The nurse was watching from a distance, covering her mouth with her hand, fearing she might howl in the next second.
"When the child grows up, he will always leave." Yang said softly beside him.
The nurse wiped her tears: "The servant girl just didn't expect that he grew up so fast."
Chen Baisong's arrival seemed to be a trivial episode, but it did make Lin Yuan feel much better.
After the beginning of the spring, there were more and more things in Zhuangzi. Although the city wall was built, the land reclamation continued. They almost opened up all the wasteland around.
Liang Er wiped a hand of sweat from his forehead, holding a in his hand with a smile on his face, and said to the third son next to him, "I don't know what to eat today."
Sanzi gasped for a second, "I don't know, but there must be multi-grain steamed buns."
Liang Er said: "I don't know who was the critics today."
Nowadays, Zhuangzi judges an outstanding laborer every day. This person’s food will be much better than others. He can eat a bowl of white rice and a cup of stewed vegetables. The stewed vegetables not only contain vegetables, but also meat, they are full of oil and water, and It is not restricted to eat in the cafeteria, even if it is taken away.
Therefore, the degree of enthusiasm for land reclamation is very high.
Of course Liang Er worked very hard, but he looked at his progress and found that there were many people who were faster than him. Now he is a little slack.
"It's not us anyway." The third son had envy in his eyes. "If only I had that much strength, I would definitely be able to eat meat every day."
"The best judges in recent days are all iron heads." Liang Er looked at the iron heads who were plowing the land.
Tie Tou is a stupid big man, he doesn't talk to people much, he always works by himself. He has a relative in the Zhuangzi who is his only sister. All the rewards he has received these days are brought back to the dormitory. Give it to my sister.
His sister was born in poor health, so he always did more work alone, lest her sister be disliked.
"Tietou! You occasionally relax, give us a chance!" Liang Er shouted towards Tietou.
Tietou stopped and looked around, wondering who was calling him. After seeing Liang Er's, he muffled and said, "No."
Liang Er said angrily to the third son: "This man is really stubborn. He has eaten special meals for so many days."
The third son comforted: "Don't be angry, the girl is not healthy."
Liang Er: "I don't have a girl to bully, right?"
The third son whispered: "You don't have to be so desperate if you have a girl."
That night, Tietou was the same as the previous few days, carrying white rice and stewed vegetables, and his honest and honest face finally showed an invisible smile.
"Brother." Tietou's sister does not have a big name, only the nickname Xiaohua, which is very local. In the village, girls from nine out of ten households are called Xiaohua.
Tietou put the stewed vegetables and rice on the table, then his awkward body held his sister to the table in a gentle and considerate manner: "Hurry up and eat."
Xiao Hua has been eating for several days, but now she is still very greedy when she sees these braised vegetables. The most greedy one is the bowl of white rice. She swallowed and whispered, "Have you eaten yet?"
Tietou: "I have eaten it. This is what I brought back for you."
Xiao Hua smiled at Tietou. She didn't doubt Tietou's words and took the chopsticks to eat.
"Brother, eat a piece of meat." Xiaohua clamped the meat to Tietou's mouth, and Tietou opened her mouth to take a bite.
The long-lost meat taste invaded
occupied his taste buds, Tietou took a deep breath, and rubbed Xiaohua's head: "You raise your body, Brother tells you to eat meat every day."
Xiaohua nodded vigorously.
She likes her current life. She doesn’t have to worry about where she will sleep tomorrow, she doesn’t have to worry about being hungry. She still remembers that when they first fled, Mingming only sold himself, so she would be able to find the master’s house because she was sick with her. , So no one has been willing to sell their brother and sister.
They still had a place to stay after they met the owner.
"I really want to get more and more angry." Liang Er returned to the dormitory and complained to the third son. "He has rated so many Tianyou in a row. What if I don't comment for a few days, if I can't beat him, I I must teach him a lesson!"
The third son turned over and didn't want to talk to Liang Er very much. Although it is difficult for them to judge the best, they can eat meat every seven days.
Of course, meat is never too much, but when many people can't even eat their stomachs, it is not easy for them to not go hungry.
The third reminded: "You can't fight with arms in Zhuangzi. If you are discovered, you will be locked in a dungeon."
The so-called dungeon is actually a cellar remodeled and is not tortured, but the dungeon has no light. It is a veritable small black room. After being locked in, there is no sound or light.
No one has been in so far.
But no one in Zhuangzi wanted to go in and try.
Liang Er immediately persuaded him and said in a low voice, "I don't have to teach him a lesson. Look at it. I will definitely surpass him tomorrow."
The third son didn't believe it: "I'll go to bed first."
The roommates also smiled and said, "Liang Er, you will have to work hard tomorrow. We don't dare to fight with him because of his desperate posture."
Liang Er went to sleep full of confidence, preparing to let Tie Dan know how good he was tomorrow.
however--
"The iron head is simply not a human!" Liang Er wickedly threw the into the ground.
The person next to him laughed at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to show him good looks yesterday? You gave up so soon?"
Liang Er also felt ashamed to give up and could only bite the bullet and go on.
At the end of the evening, Liang Er glanced at the iron-headed ground, knowing that he must be laughed at by his companions today.
When announcing the selection of the best candidates, Liang Er absent-mindedly wondered if he wanted to quietly make some croton in the iron head's rice tonight.
"Today's outstanding laborers are: Tietou, Liang Er." Jiang Gui explained after announcing the candidate, "Tietou has worked hard and has been excellent for several days. After we considered it, it is now second. You can also enjoy the same treatment as the first place."
The people underneath all looked happy. After all, defeating Tietou was impossible, and they were almost giving up slack.
But the second one can still be contested.
When the crowd dispersed, Liang Er stood still thinking.
The third son urged: "Why are you standing stupidly? Don't go to the cafeteria?"
Liang Er walked to the third son and asked, "Do you know where to get Croton?"
Third son: "Why do you want crotons? If you eat that stuff, you have to pull it. No matter how much you eat, it's useless. Maybe you will die."
There are also examples of eating croton and eating dead people.
Liang Er whispered: "I'm going to get some iron head."
The third son's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?!"
Liang Er: "So I can take the first place and eat white rice and stewed vegetables, and I will share half of you at that time."
The third son had a complicated face: "You can eat it now."
Liang Er: "What are you kidding? You didn't mean to tell me to grab the iron head? I can't beat him."
The third son sighed, "I mean, you can go to the kitchen to ask for white rice and stewed vegetables in an open manner."
Liang Er was shocked: "Why?!"
The third son looked at Liang Er who really didn't know, and he was very playful: "The boss said, you can fight tonight if you want to eat. Didn't you hear Jiang Guanshi just now?"
Liang Er suspicious: "I really didn't listen carefully..."
He was just thinking about how he could defeat Iron Head.
Third son: "I will take you there."
The third son took Liang Er to the canteen. Now the canteen is full of people. They are having dinner while chatting. Because it is still cold in early spring, there are charcoal braziers in all four corners of the room, and there are too many people. You can feel a rush of heat when you go in, and it is very warm.
The women who were cooking were sitting behind the stage, chatting while cooking.
"This is my brother, Liang Er. He wants white rice and stewed vegetables." The third son said to the woman who served the meal.
The woman received the notice before, and two of them were rewarded today, so the stewed vegetables and rice were already prepared and kept warm. At this moment, when someone came to get them, they passed them naturally.
"Remember to take the bowl and cup back after eating, or eat it in the cafeteria." The woman reminded.
Liang Er, who was holding the wooden dinner plate, was still a little at a loss, wondering what happened.
He looked around and found that everyone was eating ordinary multi-grain steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables. No one had white rice or meat.
Liang Er looked at the three sons vigilantly: "The owner certainly didn't say anything to eat, don't lie to me."
The three sons laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, why are you so silly hahahahaha, you should really look at your expression just now."
Liang Er looked at the third son with an unkind expression, but he was reluctant to put down the food he was holding.
The third son said after laughing enough, "Gang said, because the iron head has always been the first, so you can get rewards for the second in the future. You are the second today, so you can also get it."
Liang Er stood there, dull for a while before reacting.
He took the dinner plate and found an empty seat to sit down, looked at the whole bowl of white rice and stewed vegetables, and took his chopsticks while swallowing.
The third son was also greedy, so he slapped his share of multi-grain steamed buns and vegetables and sat opposite Liang Er: "Can you give me a piece of meat?"
Liang Er's chopsticks stirred in the stew, and a lot of meat could be seen.
So Liang Er said generously: "Eat."
The third son is not welcome, and just grabbed the biggest piece of meat he saw.
Lin Yuan was observing Chen Banxian's research office at this time-anyway, Lin Yuan didn't want to call this room an alchemy room.
Chen Banxian said a little nervously beside Lin Yuan: "Actually, I fry the stove once, but it doesn't fry according to the recipe before frying the stove."
There are no precise measurement tools at this time, and every match depends on the feel. There are many uncertain factors, and Lin Yuan can understand it.
"Is there enough stuff?" Lin Yuan asked.
Chen Banxian: "Enough is enough, we don't use much each time, but it's better to prepare early."
Still have to send someone to buy.
I don't know that there are no towns around to buy it.
Lin Yuan could only call Zhu Yuanzhang, tell him and Brother Dao to go out, lead a team with one person, and ask Chen Banxian to tell them what they need.
"We are all gone..." Zhu Yuanzhang still has some worries, "There are not many people in Zhuangzi."
After all, all they took away were labor.
Lin Yuan said: "Now the city wall has been built. There are not many people left, but they add up to a lot. There is also food in Zhuangzi. Even if it is really in danger, it will be enough to support it. So you go out this time. If you haven’t bought what you need, you have to rush back."
Communication and transportation are now inconvenient, so we can only make budgets and appointments.
In ten days, even if the bandits really come over, they can hold it.
As long as it is not an official army.
If it were, Lin Yuan could only admit that he was unlucky. After all, once the official army arrived, even if Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao were in Zhuangzi, they wouldn't have much use.
Lin Yuan said so, Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao could only leave with someone.
They have to pretend to be ordinary people, not to buy too much each time, and buy in batches so as not to be targeted.
It's been ten years.
Lin Yuan sighed leisurely while looking at the back of them leaving.
The time left for him is really running out.
If by the end of this year, the number of people in Zhuangzi cannot exceed 1,000, he really can't do anything. Maybe he can only take people to join the Red Scarf Army.
Recruiting troops is imminent.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, but he didn't know the details, and he didn't dare to let it in easily.
Even if Chen Bosong had such a close relationship with the original owner, Lin Yuan didn't trust him completely.
Ah... I'm going crazy.
Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the two and two who were cleaning up the house, staring in a daze.
The two and two felt that there was a line of sight behind him, and he saw his whole body numb. Turning around, he found that his young master was looking at him intently, and asked uncomfortably: "Young master? What are you doing looking at me? Up?"
Lin Yuan sighed.
Two and two became more nervous: "Did something happen? Master, don't keep talking, it's scary."
Lin Yuan: "You said, if I think less, will it be easier?"
Two and two knew that their young master was ill. They picked up the rag and continued to wipe the dust. While wiping, they said, "Master, you are a big business now, so you don't think about it a little bit more easily. If something happens, you will not be at ease. "
Lin Yuan continued to sigh, "What you said makes sense."
Two or two: "Master, if you think about this, you might as well think about what to eat tomorrow."
Lin Yuan waved his hand: "Anyway, it has been the same every day recently, so I don't have to think about it."
Two or two: "Master, why don't you think about the major events in your life?"
Lin Yuan didn't react for a while: "What's the big event? The big event in life?"
Two and two sighed: "You are all this age, if you change before, I should see your son."
Lin Yuan: "..."
Two and two whispered: "My lord is also talking about this recently. It's a pity that it's too remote here. I can't find the right girl. It's better to arrange two rooms for you first."
Lin Yuan's face blushed instantly, he turned his head and said, "This..."
Two and two winked and said, "Master, man."
Lin Yuan reached out and pushed Er Liang's head away: "Speak as you speak, don't get so close."
"Forget it." Lin Yuan rejected the proposal after careful consideration.
Although it is a common room, in the eyes of a modern-educated person like Lin Yuan, he is actually no different from his wife, doing housework for himself and having children.
Although not a wife in legal terms, Lin Yuan couldn't pass this hurdle.
Besides, what should he do when he finds a wife when he really gets married?
Ask a few women to live under one roof?
He felt that he probably didn't have the ability of Long Aotian in the novel, and he would definitely be enemies from all sides. If there is another battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he can say Gubai early.
Two and two can't believe it: "Master, you have to forget it? You have seventeen now?"
Lin Yuan became angry with embarrassment: "Twenty-two, you want you to tell my father, anyway, I can't, you ask me again, and I will punish you to clean the bucket."
Two or two closed their mouths, stretched out their hands, and made a motion of pinching their mouths.
"Speaking of Gongtong..." Lin Yuan's thoughts were taken astray, "I think Zhuangzi really needs a toilet, and he can accumulate fertilizer."
Although the people in Zhuangzi also save fat on their own, most of them still go to the wild, not much.
Two or two heard Lin Yuan mention fat, the whole person's expression was hard to say.
He didn't know who told the young master about fat.
Hearing the young master's serious mention of fat accumulation, his three views were shocked.
In the eyes of two or two, my young master shouldn't know these things.
Lin Yuan: "What is your expression?"
Two and two sniffed: "Master, two and two did not take care of you!"
Lin Yuan: "..."
After listening to Erliang's explanation, Lin Yuan was deeply impressed by Erliang's brain circuit.
But you can't let go of repairing the toilet.
Lin Yuan immediately summoned his staff to start digging the toilet.
The toilet is also simple. It is a modern farm toilet in the 1960s and 1970s. Dig a deep pit and cover it with two thick wooden boards. If you are afraid of falling, you can use bricks to make it. Dig aside.
As soon as Lin Yuan gave the order, the people in Zhuangzi started to work in full swing.
After all, it’s a good job to have meat.
Although—everyone thinks digging a toilet is unnecessary.
But it's not called a toilet, it's called Gongsuo now.
"The boss is worthy of being the boss. You can make tricks when you just shit."
"That is, I used to think that the master of the landlord had a pail of courtesy, but I didn't expect to have to build a special house for courtesy, and have to dig such a deep hole."
"I even said that I put a bucket outside, and I have to wash my hands after I go out."
"The owner also asks people to find a prescription for scratch paper, to make scratch paper to wipe the fart
stock."
"Hey, it really is the owner. The fart
stocks are more expensive than ordinary people. Like us, it's okay to wipe the leaves?"
"I heard that the masters use silk and satin."
"... Those old men who wipe fart
stocks are worth more than we wiped fart
stocks for a lifetime."
Everyone reached a consensus and felt that the of the masters were all valuable farts.
The toilet was repaired very quickly. Two toilets came out in two or three days, one for men and one for women. Lin Yuan also drew signs outside because everyone was illiterate. In order for them not to go to the wrong toilet, Lin Yuan was there. A was painted in the men's bathroom and a flower in the women's bathroom.
This will make it clear.
The main thing is to draw skirts and pants-this year, men also wear skirts.
Although in the strict sense it cannot be called a skirt.
Naturally, Lin Yuan didn't know that his fart stocks were very valuable. He only knew that it would be much more convenient once he had a toilet. At least he didn't have to worry about walking in the Zhuangzi. If he stepped into a pit, the pit was buried in gold.
Many people now go to the toilet only if they have to be supervised. Many people don't bother to take a few steps at night.
Later, Lin Yuan had no choice but to report to each other.
The informant is not in Gong’s office. After verification, the informant can get a piece of bacon as a reward, and the informant will eat one less meal the next day.
Punishment measures and incentive measures come out.
People report it every day.
At first, I was busy for a few days, and then some people suffered, and some people had the sweetness, and they went to the Gongsuo honestly.
Now that the rectification began, Lin Yuan decided to rectify everything that could be rectified in one go.
For example, you can't drink raw water, you can go to the cafeteria to drink the water every day.
Don't throw things casually, gather together every day and bury them at a distance.
Fortunately, with Gong Suo's experience, the following things were implemented very quickly, and the people in Zhuangzi did not have any opinions or adverse reactions.
While Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he gave himself a like in his heart.
After having no other ideas, Lin Yuan began to think about how to recruit troops and buy horses every day.
Otherwise...just go to rob a few bandit stockades?
Anyway, I also grabbed a bit of experience, and the people who grabbed it have also figured out how to adjust
teach.
Or to find the poor who are desperate?
Let's discuss it after Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao come back.
