After being forced to raise a tyrannical prince, I was stalked insane

Chapter 279 No one knows that chestnuts can be eaten?

Luo Qingqing didn't expect these people to smash the ancestral hall...

Fortunately, I still know some sense of propriety, and there is no place to smash the enshrining tablet, otherwise I am afraid there is no way to fix this matter.

This is the ancient times where the clan is the sky...

"This matter is indeed my fault. I did not restrain them well." Luo Qingqing said sincerely.

Only then did everyone relax a bit, and they couldn't even blame you entirely.

There's no way, the potatoes haven't been planted yet, and they don't want to have a deadlock with Luo Qingqing...

Otherwise, if she patted her butt and left in a fit of anger, wouldn't they be the ones who would be dumbfounded?
People don't have to worry about food and clothing!
What's more, the grain seeds are gone, and they can't say they have no responsibility...

Even, it is very likely that this grain was stolen by one of them!
Luo Qingqing knew that the best way to appease these people was to promise benefits, so she said generously and directly: "This matter is my crime of laxity. It just so happens that I have always had an idea before. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to expand the ancestral hall in our village! All the repair costs will be borne by me alone.”

When everyone heard it, they were all shocked.

Immediately, a huge discussion erupted.

Among them, the most excited one is Muramasa! !
To be able to renovate the village ancestral hall during his lifetime and during his tenure is a glorious thing! !
Even if it is written in the village chronicle in the future, it is still possible!
Regarding this, he couldn't help being cautious: "Qingqing, what you said is true? Are you really willing to pay for the renovation of the ancestral hall in the village?"

As he said that, he also said: "In fact, to be honest, you can't completely blame your servants for this incident. We are somewhat at fault for the ancestral hall being smashed into such a state."

That's right...

The ancestral hall was smashed like this, basically because of the fighting between them.

If Luo Qingqing hadn't said that he was willing to pay for the renovation of the ancestral hall, they would have agreed and blamed these servants for all their faults.

But now, people say that they are willing to pay for the construction of the ancestral hall. If they still behave like this, it will be somewhat unreasonable!

"Anyway, they did it."

Luo Qingqing smiled and said: "Then, as their master, I should compensate them for what they damaged."

These words made most people in the village panic with embarrassment!
They don't even want compensation!They all agreed to shirk responsibility!

"Besides, I was born in Luojia Village and grew up in Luojia Village. Now I should do something for Luojia Village!"

Luo Qingqing said kindly: "So the villager should not be polite to me, you should have a good discussion with the clan elders and the big guys in the village to see how the new ancestral hall should be rebuilt? Is it a new one? Choose a place, or just renovate and expand on the current location?"

Muramasa was so excited that his face turned red.

After a while, he restrained himself and said, "We need to have a good discussion, so that's the deal?"

Luo Qingqing smiled and nodded.

"That's it, let's talk about the loss of grain seeds!" She said with a smile on her face.

All of a sudden, Muramasa and the others turned into bitter faces again.

"It's really time to talk about it!" The village is biting the bullet, filled with righteous indignation: "Let me know which bastard stole the grain seeds in the village, and I will definitely punish him severely!"

Luo Qingqing smiled and corrected him: "It's not the grain seeds of the village, these are my grain seeds."

The villager was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's yours. When I find out who stole your grain seeds, I will definitely punish them severely."

He prayed silently in his heart, but he must not be some bastard in his own family.

"If you ask me, we may not be able to find anything if we just check it out." Luo Qingqing said.

Murata panicked for a moment: "Then, according to your wishes?"

"I think it's better to report to the officials." Luo Qingqing said lightly: "Let the people from the yamen come and investigate. After all, they are professionals in this field, and it will be more effective than our random search without a clue."

"No! Can't report to the official!!"

Except for Muramasa, many people objected emotionally!

"That's right, we can't report to the officials. We are just ordinary people. If we report to the officials, it doesn't matter whether we are justified or not, whether we are guilty or not, we will all be made things difficult for us!"

Everyone objected, and some even scolded: "Which bastard stole the grain, why don't you come forward and admit it quickly, are you satisfied if you let everyone take the blame for you!"

"Yeah! Whoever took it, quickly stand up and admit it."

Everyone scolded very fiercely, as if they would become suspects if they scolded a little less.

Luo Qingqing yelled for silence, and after everyone stopped quarreling, she looked at them calmly and said, "Since everyone disagrees with reporting to the official, let me ask a few questions for the time being."

She looked around the crowd: "If everyone is willing to cooperate well, it's not that I can't think about it, and I won't report to the authorities to pursue this matter."

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone said: "You can ask whatever you want! We will say everything we know!"

As long as you don't send them to the officials!

There are two mouths under the official characters, who knows if they will be said to be guilty even if they are not guilty?
Wouldn't there be no reason to go by then?
Luo Qingqing nodded and hummed, then picked up a chestnut, and asked everyone: "Where did this thing come from, does anyone know?"

"Prickly balls? There are a lot of them in the mountains and forests near us. Every autumn, a lot of them will fall on the ground. Occasionally, someone will pick up a basket or two and take them home as firewood."

Someone said: "But this thing is not very easy to burn, and gradually no one is willing to pick it up."

Luo Qingqing was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the chestnut in her hand and wondered for a while whether it was a chestnut or not.

"You all picked this thing up and burned it at home, why didn't you think about eating it?" She asked puzzled.

I even wondered if the chestnuts in this world are actually inedible?is poisonous?
"Crazy, who would eat this thing?" Someone looked at Luo Qingqing in confusion, as if looking at a monster: "This thing is full of thorns on the outside, even if you peel it off, it's just a black core." ...you can't eat it at all!"

Luo Qingqing: ...

Then you haven't thought about peeling off the black core and eating the chestnut kernels inside?
No one really thought about it...

Almost everyone thought that the thorny shell on the outside of this thing was the fruit, and the chestnut inside was the core, and no one thought of eating the nuts inside the core.

"Some people have tried to eat the kernels in it, but they are not very tasty. Later, we were afraid of poison, so we stopped eating them indiscriminately." Someone said.

Eat raw chestnut kernels...

Isn't it normal that it doesn't taste good?

Luo Qingqing didn't say anything else, she didn't even know how to eat, it was good for her!
