Chapter 362 Preparing for the Banquet

In the afternoon, the confiscators came back with several large carts full.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and all the officials of the county government were there, even the handymen who cooked, cleaned and drove the cars.Chen Fan asked people to put things on the ground one by one.

"Hand in all these flashy things." Chen Fan pointed to those vase ornaments, no matter how expensive they were, she didn't care about them, so why not send them directly to the capital to show her attitude.Whoever she wants to give a gift to, has a lot of things in her hand.

Chen Fan asked people to take away a few complicated and expensive jewelry for handing in, pointing to the remaining large amount of jewelry and said: "These jewelry are for your family to wear, come and choose two."

For a moment no one dared to step forward.

The former county magistrate ransacked wantonly, but never regarded his subordinates as human beings.The confidants benefit from the situation, but others can only be scolded, bullied and threatened.Today, I suddenly have the opportunity to get some light, which is an honor and a restriction.

Chen Fan took the two nearest pieces of jewelry casually, and glanced at everyone: "Do you want me to deliver both to you? What I give may not be what you want."

She looked at the county magistrate, who swallowed and stepped forward to choose a jade bracelet and a boxwood comb.

Someone started and things went well.Officials prefer bracelets or bead strings, which are made of solid materials and not conspicuous when worn.It seems that they know it all.

The handymen looked at the shining jewelry, their lips trembling with excitement: "We have it too?"

"Both." Chen Fan nodded.

Trembling, they chose the one they liked, and happily returned to their original positions, and couldn't help touching and looking at it.

Chen Fan looked at the remaining flashy Bu Yao forehead earrings, lowered his head and smiled.

She distributed two copper coins to each of them, and said: "Part of the money is handed over, and the other part is left in the county government for disaster relief and peace of the people, and for building bridges and roads, all of which must be recorded."

She didn't give out gold and silver ingots, she handed over a small portion and kept most of it.

Those who had to hand in the Zhangci registration, Chen Fan looked at the master book to register those who remained in the county government.

The county magistrate called all those people into the room and said solemnly: "Don't go around to get the things you got today."

Most of them nodded vigorously.

"You guys, hurry up and restrain yourself. Don't go out like this." The county magistrate looked at the handymen, the excitement on their faces hadn't completely subsided.

The handymen were startled and straightened their expressions.

The county magistrate looked at everyone: "Everyone has seen your lord's methods today. As soon as she came, she beat a yamen servant and killed a local snake. She is not an ordinary woman. Her husband and her subordinates are not simple. Everyone If she made a mistake, she will definitely not forgive lightly."

Everyone was stunned and their expressions became serious.

"But your lord is generous, follow your lord well, she will definitely not let us suffer."

Everyone agrees.Although the ten days were very busy, the days were really nourishing.The handymen worked hard for ten days of cleaning, repairing and moving, and they all got a lot of rewards.

Chen Fan returned to the backyard after get off work, took a sip of water: "I'm really tired today."

Zhang Ci chuckled: "Your Excellency, you have worked hard, and you are exhausted."

"The next step is to invite all the villages to have a meeting, announce the subsidy policy, and confirm the list. The field matters need to be dealt with, and after summer planting and summer harvest, labor labor will begin."

Zhang Ci nodded: "Send someone to notify them tomorrow and tell them to prepare the roster and field register, and come over for a meeting on November."

Chen Fan added tea to him: "How many people will there be for the banquet on the twelfth night?"

"It was agreed that all of them will come, even if they are only descendants, there are quite a few people on the list. There seems to be not enough manpower in the mansion."

"You have eaten at so many restaurants, which one can host this banquet?"

Zhang Ci said: "Fumanlou, Huibinlou and Xiangyalou are the largest of the three, and they are more experienced in holding large-scale banquets. If Steward Feng is not here tonight, he should be there tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will go to those three with him. The shopkeeper, let’s talk about the banquet, whether it’s this time or in the future, they will have the opportunity. It just happens to prompt them to compete healthy and pay attention to the taste of the food and the quality of the service.”

Chen Fan nodded: "Each family has their signature dishes, and the Fuchu kitchen is sufficient, so the three families share the dishes and pastries, is that okay?"

"There are advantages and disadvantages to this. After all, coordination is required. Let's talk to them in detail tomorrow and see how they choose."

"Now the rice planting has already started, the rice seedlings..." Her words were interrupted by Zhang Ci: "Ma'am, it is time to get off work, I will go talk to the county magistrate about the rice seedlings tomorrow, let's talk about our own affairs now, Play the piano for the children."

Chen Fan smiled and snuggled into his arms: "Can the child understand?" He also pays attention to prenatal education.

"I can understand it. The most important thing is that when the mother plays the piano, she is in a peaceful state of mind, and the fetus is also in a peaceful mood."

"Then it's fine for me to hug my husband, and I don't need to play the piano. Or, husband playing the piano?"

"I play the flute, you play the qin, the qin and the zither sing together."

Just after eating, Steward Feng and his wife Huang Qin arrived with tired faces.Chen Fan hurriedly ordered the dinner to be served, and looked at them worriedly: "Are you all in good health? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Feng An shook his head: "Thank you Madam for your concern, everything is fine for Laonu and Jiannei."

Mo Jian and the others were very happy, and gathered around to look at Steward Feng.

Butler Feng looked at them: "Let us two old bones finish the meal first, and then talk about what you want to talk about. Look at Mo Jian's excited look, you want to pick me up when you see me, right?"

Mo Jian chuckled: "You are a seasoned old man. We will probably go out often in the future. We can rest assured that you are here."

After Feng An and his wife finished their meal, they talked about the situation at Magistrate Feng's side.It turned out that they had already run to the north and came here again.

"Master is in good health, you don't have to worry, it's just that you're a little thinner, it makes you feel distressed." Feng An really felt distressed.

"The master is already thin, so he is skinny and skinny?" Mo Jian was very angry.

Zhang Ci reassured them: "It's not so serious. My father used to look thin, but his body is still relatively strong. The journey is exhausting, and he is new to the north, so he will gradually come back. How is the situation over there?"

"Don't worry, my lord, many of my subordinates have gone." Feng An still called County Magistrate Feng the master, and Zhang Ci as the son, "Master's safety can still be guaranteed, and someone will take good care of him. There is also a steady stream of all kinds of supplies. The earth has transported a lot."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"Diao has already run back and forth, and he can deliver the letter later." Feng An said again.Mo Jian and the others were refreshed.

Feng An glanced at them: "You all came to Yuanshuo County, who is left in the capital?"

Mo Jian giggled: "Don't worry, the people over there are all powerful. If they are not powerful, they will still be covered by the Feng family. We were the first to follow the young master, and we will follow this time. Madam is more familiar with it. .”

It's true, Chen Fan is quite familiar with ink paper and the others.
