Chapter 39 Getting Paid

He sat down with a warm and low eyebrow: "Thank you, sir."

Before finding out the details, Wen Nuan restrained her words and deeds vigorously.

After all, this is a dynasty where power is supreme, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Qi Wenli saw Nuan Nuan's restraint, and smiled: "Miss Nuan Nuan, I know that you are going to Anping County, so just speak up if you have something to say."

"Sir, please speak."

"I heard that you have dug two wells in the outskirts of Anping County. I wonder if you can help me to see if there is a suitable place to dig a well inside and outside Lianzhou City?"

Qi Wenli glanced at Nuan Nuan and said, "Of course, I won't let Nu Nuan's help for nothing."

Wen Nuan suddenly raised her bright phoenix eyes: "Is there a reward?"

Qi Wenli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and made a promise: "If the well can really be drilled, I will reward Miss Nuannuan."

Of course, even if he couldn't type it out, he wouldn't let the little girl go for nothing.

"What reward?" Wen Nuan asked.

Looking at the little girl in front of him whose behavior was very different from the beginning, Qi Wenli laughed: "What reward does Nuan Nuan want?"

Nuan Nuan thought about it, and suddenly felt that she seemed very rich now.

If you want food, you have food, if you want silver, you have silver.

For a moment, he couldn't think of what kind of reward to ask Qi Wenli for.

Seeing Nu Nuan thought about it for a long time, Qi Wenli smiled again: "Is food okay? Or is it money?"

"No need, no need, Lord Grain should be reserved for the refugees outside the city to cook porridge, and no money is needed." Wen Nuan said: "If you really want to dig a well, Lord, let me kill two pigs."

When they got home, the house should be completed, and it happened to use this pork to make a feast for the big guys.

Before the pig arrived, Wen Nuan was already planning to get up.

After hearing her words, Qi Wenli felt that the girl in front of him was sincere and kind: "Okay, if you really dig a well, I will give you five pigs!"

He had learned a while ago that because of the lack of water, it was getting harder and harder to find pigweed. Farmers in the city killed their pigs early on. Those pigs were not big enough, and it was a pity that they were not yet ready for slaughter.

Even if he tried to control it again and again, the price of meat in the city was still rising. If there was water, let alone five pigs, ten pigs would not be too much for this little girl.

Wen Nuan was afraid that her family would be worried if she and her fellow villagers didn't go back for a long time, so that afternoon, she marked out two plots of land in Lianzhou City where wells might be drilled, and led people to plot one on the outskirts of the south city and one on the outskirts of the east city.

It was already dark when Wen Nuan and the villagers met. She came back on a horse and brought the three pigs that Qi Wenli had ordered to kill for her.

Before getting off the carriage, she quietly put two of the bags of meat and bones into the space, replacing it with a bag of freshwater fish and a bag of shrimp.

Seeing Wen Nuan coming back with all his beard and tail, Da Lang's heart finally returned to its original place.

Liao Yong opened the sack and took a look, his eyes almost fell out of shock: "Are these meat and fish sent by the magistrate?"

Nuan Nuan smiled: "It's the reward from the magistrate."

The villagers looked envious.

The village head also said to his wife: "Nuan Nuan is a lucky child."

"No."

Da Lang also gasped: "Master Zhifu really has a lot of money, but with so much fish and meat, I'm afraid it won't last in this weather."

"It won't be broken." Nuannuan planned to wait until everyone had gone to bed before making another move: "Everyone didn't eat at night, I bought some seasoning and salt before I left the city, and asked my aunts to take a few big bones to make soup, and then kill them." Grill and eat some fish and shrimp."

Looking at the food, Nuan knew that it hadn't been touched, presumably to save food.

"How did you do that?" The folks immediately refused: "This is a reward from the magistrate. You should take it home and eat it slowly, otherwise it will be fine if it is marinated or made into bacon."

It was not easy enough for this child to bring them so much food and water, how could they eat these fish and meat again?
"It's okay, there are so many." Nuan Nuan said and gave her lobby brother a look.

Da Lang understood, so he persuaded Liao Yong a few words. Liao Yong then asked a few women to cook the soup, and then called a few men to help kill the fish.

Killing fish requires water, but save the rest of the water, it should be able to last as long as Anping County.

Before dawn the next day, the folks who had enough to eat and drink set off.

After walking for a while, Da Lang took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Wen Nuan: "It's the leftover grilled shrimp from last night, peeled off the shell, eat it."

On the way back last night, Nuan quietly took a piece of steamed fish from the space cafeteria in the carriage to eat, so the big guy didn’t eat any more fish when he grilled the fish. He only drank a bowl of big bone soup and ate a few shrimps, Dalang I thought she liked shrimp.

Nuannuan couldn't help laughing at the shrimp wrapped in a small square cloth.

The eldest brother is so considerate and considerate, the future sister-in-law is blessed.

Four days later in the afternoon, a group of people marched through the gate of Anping County to the suburbs.

The Wen family was very excited when they saw the villagers. Seeing that many villagers were missing from the team in Qing'ao Village, Mr. Wen looked a little sad.

But I haven't seen him for ten days. It seems that Mr. Wen and the villagers have not seen each other for more than ten years, and they have endless words to talk about.

After a few days of recuperation, Mrs. Wen was full of energy again. She took Nuan's hand and complained: "You went to pick up the village chief alone and they didn't tell me. Your mother said that you should come back yesterday. Your grandpa and I are talking about letting your second and third brothers find you."

Wen Nuan told Mrs. Wen that the magistrate asked her to go back to help and gave her a reward. Mrs. Wen was both relieved and distressed: "Are you tired from rushing so fast?"

"No." Wen Nuan saw that his house had been built, took old lady Wen's arm, saw his mother Luo looking at him eagerly, and took her mother's arm with the other hand: "Auntie and Auntie Come with me to see our new house."

When it comes to the new house, Luo's face is full of satisfaction: "Our house is built according to what you said. It is bright and practical. After seeing it, your uncle and uncle plan to build it according to our house. They said that we will also build two big kangs. In winter, when the farming is slack, the whole family sits on the hot kang chatting, it’s beautiful to think about.”

In the middle of the new house is a spacious living room, with two bedrooms on the left and right sides, and a large yard in front. On one side of the yard is a kitchen and a bathroom, and on the other side are firewood and utility rooms.

"Your father said that the yard is so big, and we plan to build a vegetable field on the left side. If we can raise poultry in the future, we can build a chicken fence in the corner next to the wall, and the rest of the field is used to dry grain..."

Mrs. Luo was chatting with her daughter about her expectations for the future, when Mrs. Su walked in with a solemn face: "Nuan Nuan, the magistrate of Anping is here!"

A few days ago, the magistrate of Anping asked Huang Ping to bring them food and meat, Mrs. Su's expression was obviously wrong.

Wen Nuan calmly said to his grandmother and mother: "Grandma, Grandma, wait for me in the house, I will come whenever I go."
