I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 52
If business is so good every day this summer, I will probably be able to save a tael of silver in two months.

Don't be short-sighted when doing business. Zhou Chenyu didn't want to just make money and lose his reputation, so the sugar water he boiled became thicker.

She had breakfast with Baoyu, took the scallion pancakes specially made by Li Xiuju, transported a cart of belongings, and went out in disgrace.

They went out earlier today than yesterday. The two of them walked on the deserted country road. Dogs barked in the deep alleys, and the sounds of children crying and couples murmuring could be heard from the houses.

Zhou Chenyu lit a bamboo torch to illuminate the road ahead, "Baoyu, can you look at the stall alone this morning? I have to go to the Yamen."

Baoyu yawned and looked over in a daze, "Sister, what are you doing at the Yamen?"

Zhou Chenyu touched the pastries in the basket, which were red bean cakes she made with remaining red beans and flour.A smile appeared on her lips, "I want to give you, Team Leader Yang, some delicious food."

Baoyu's eyes widened immediately, and he said disgustedly: "Oh, it's that plate of red bean cakes you don't let me touch."

He groaned in dissatisfaction, "I'm just looking at the stall alone, and I don't have to eat yet. No, I won't do it!"

"What a shameless thing!" Zhou Chenyu patted the other box angrily, "Here, open it and take a look."

Baoyu opened the wooden box dubiously and put six red bean cakes in. He immediately turned from anger to joy, "This is pretty much it."

After settling all the matters for the stall, Zhou Chenyu took the box of specially prepared red bean cakes and rushed to squat in front of the government office.

Although she was a road addict, thanks to that detention, she remembered that the government office of Qingshui Town was in the center of the street. The majestic mansion and solemn and oppressive atmosphere were instantly recognizable.

It was just dawn, there were not many people on the street, and there were two official servants sitting at the porridge shop not far from the government office.

Zhou Chenyu hid in an inconspicuous alley and watched the people from the government office coming in and out. He stared at the resolute and upright figure for about a cup of tea.

Zhou Chenyu picked up the red bean cake and walked out with a smile, "Good morning, Team Leader Yang."

When Yang Xi saw her, his relaxed expression suddenly furrowed his brows, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line, "What are you doing here?"

Of course it's a thigh hug.

Zhou Chenyu saw his frown and did not dare to tell the truth.She hid her true purpose and smiled:
"Team Leader Yang, you helped me before. I have always wanted to repay you, but I didn't find a suitable opportunity. I know that I am just a little girl and can't help you much, so after thinking about it, I made it with my own hands. I’ll give you a box of red bean cakes to try.”

Zhou Chenyu handed the wooden box out with a smile in his eyes: "I just made it this morning."

Yang Xi lowered his eyes and glanced, turned away, and refused coldly: "I have already told you that the matter between you and Qian Rushan is my responsibility, and it should be like this. I will not be rewarded without merit, and I will not take your things. I’ll ask for it, take it.”

She knew he wouldn't want it!

Zhou Chenyu caught up with him and said pitifully, "Bandou Yang, no matter what, this is a civilian girl's wish. If you don't mean anything else, just accept it. If you really have no reason to accept it, Why don't you just treat us as friends? We won't get to know each other without fighting anyway?"

Yang Xi looked down at Zhou Chenyu, who had already shown weakness, with a cold and distant expression filled with inviolable divine power. "There is no need for friends." After saying that, he stepped up the stone steps and strode into the mansion. Inside the office.

"Hey, are you leaving now?" Zhou Chenyu was blocked by the guards in front of the government office, and was left alone in the wind.

In all her life, she has never met such a difficult man.

Neither does this, nor does that.

It really doesn’t add any oil or salt!
"Is this the Waterloo of my life? Can I just watch this big tree fly away?" Zhou Chenyu froze at the door for a long time, then got frustrated and said dejectedly: "It seems that the thigh is also broken. It's not that easy to hug." However, compared with Qian Rushan's brutal violence, this man's sarcastic words were considered gentle.

Zhou Chenyu suddenly chuckled, "If it doesn't work this time, then next time. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can always catch her with your thighs."

Xiao Qi watched her walk away and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "Why did the girl come to see the master again this week? It seems that she is quite persistent, more so than the previous women..."

"What are you mumbling behind you?" Yang Xi asked him coldly. Xiao Qi put away her little gossip and caught up and said, "Master, there was an old man looking for you just now, and he kept calling your name."

Yang Xi immediately raised his eyes, "Where are the others?"

Xiaoqi saw the master's nervous expression and felt that she had done something wrong, "Master, I told him that you haven't come to the government office yet and asked him to stay and wait. He seemed unable to hear and left again."

"Which direction?"

"The alley on the right leads to the shortcut outside the city."

Before Xiao Qi finished speaking, she saw the master walking out quickly.

"Zhou Chenyu, Zhou Chenyu, I didn't expect you to be like this. You used to ignore the men who came to you, and you didn't pursue them for a long time. Now isn't retribution coming?"

Zhou Chenyu shook the red bean cake in his hand. He felt it was hot and wanted to throw it away a few times, but he felt bad when he lost it. After all, it was something he had spent money, effort and effort to make.

"Oh, it's better not to throw it away. It would be a waste to throw it away. I couldn't even eat a while ago. I only made a few money now. You can't forget your roots."

Zhou Chenyu held the wooden box tightly with his fingers and turned into another alley. He was startled by the homeless man squatting on the ground.

"I'm going, I'm scared to death."

Zhou Chenyu cursed secretly, seeing that he was in tatters and was even digging the food that others had dumped on the ground with his hands. In order not to touch the dirt, he could only stick to the wall.

But when I passed by, I saw the man's bony hands exposed outside the skin, and familiar memories came to me. Isn't this an old man begging for food at a candy shop?
She stopped and looked at him, "Are you deaf?"

The man was focused on pulling out the leftover food from the cracks in the rocks and did not respond.

Zhou Chenyu walked over cautiously and waved his hand in front of him, "Hey, don't eat. Look at me."

The old man raised his head to look at the person. When he saw it was her, he smiled and said, "Girl, here is some rice. Eat it."

Zhou Chenyu smelled a rancid smell. Rice would go bad after a night on a hot day. As if he had no sense of taste, Old Man Zhang took out the rice grains from the cracks in the stone slab and stuffed them into his mouth.

Zhou Chenyu almost vomited out what he had eaten in the morning when he saw the flies lingering nearby.

How can this be food for humans?

Eating wild vegetables is better than this.

She glanced at the red bean cake in her hand, held back her nausea, and said, "Old man, don't eat it. It will make your stomach sick. Don't eat it."

"No, I want to eat." Old man Zhang pushed her hand away and worked hard to clasp every grain of rice in the gap.
