Wonderful doctor and pretty peasant girl

Chapter 163

On July [-]th, Gaoshi Town, which had been sunny for more than [-] days, finally rained.

After a heavy rain, it represents the official end of this year's drought.

This year's grain will not affect the harvest, and the people in the whole town sing praises to the town yamen.

Mayor Li reported the drought in Gaoshi Town to the county with a solution to the drought, and immediately received a personal interview and commendation from the county magistrate.

"Come here, Mr. Chen, I would like to offer you a toast. Do you know that what you have done is a major event that benefits the country and the people! There are nearly ten thousand mu of fertile land in my town. Once the harvest fails, the loss will be immeasurable! Now there are It’s a good job of you to save your water pump and save the losses! It’s an honor for our whole town to have good villagers like you in Gaoshi Town!”

"Yes, yes, it is the honor of our town to have a capable person like Mr. Chen, and a selfless person like the patriarch and the head of the village!"

Because Gu Qingya is a woman, naturally this matter cannot be publicized, except for the two outsiders, Qiu Nongsi and Mayor Li, who know the truth of this matter, that is, the patriarch surnamed Chen and the chief of Chen Jiatun.

Women do not have the right to be rewarded for meritorious service, so naturally this credit goes to Chen Shi's whole body.

The patriarch, Grandpa, and the head of the Chen family, naturally also had the merit of recommending the report!
Facing the politeness and respect of the mayor, Chen Shiquan, who had never had an account with an official, was still a little scared. Encouraged by the patriarch's grandfather, he drank wine from the mayor and several people in power in the town, one by one. After paying his respects, he sat down.

After a while of wine and dinner, the mayor, on behalf of the county government, rewarded Chen Shiquan with 20 taels of silver, saying that Datong was grateful to him for his great deed.

The patriarch and the head of the village each rewarded ten taels of silver, and also awarded them the best villager award, and then said Datong, meaning that the funds of the yamen are limited, so they can only mean it.

The biggest beneficiaries are naturally these officials.

Even if they can't be promoted, as long as they can keep this position, wouldn't they be popular?
After hearing Chen Shiquan come back and tell the story and the result, Gu Qingya despised the stinginess of Mayor Li very much.

However, she really didn't take this credit to heart.

After all, she didn't design this thing, and even if she made it, she couldn't make money by herself.

At that time, the drought was so urgent, recruiting craftsmen, collecting materials, surveying the land, installing water trucks, all of this, without great ability and team, how can we complete the capacity of several water trucks in two days?
Besides, she doesn't have as much appeal as the town yamen now.

However, Gu Qingya understood very well that this time she was trying to save face and favor to the patriarch and the head of the village.

The patriarch and the head of the village have been commended by the mayor, so naturally no one will dare to take office in the next term.

And she, of course, has an umbrella in the future.

It's not that Gu Qingya is afraid of the Chen family, it's just that there are some things that need to be handled by someone.

This is ancient times, Gu Qingya knew that she did not have the ability to change the rules of this world, so she tried her best not to restrict her by the rules of this world.

In this era of incomplete laws, the words of the patriarch are heaven in the clan.

It was only later that Gu Qingya realized that the patriarch's words were really like the imperial decree of the clan.

So much so that she was rude to the Chen family later on, and the elders of the clan did not come out to criticize, and even spoke up for her.

As soon as Chen Shiquan came back, he handed over the money to Gu Qingya. She didn't want Chen Shiquan to be angry, so she had to accept it.

Count the cash in your hand, although it is not a lot, it can be regarded as a small treasury.

In the lean season, the farmer's food was very poor. Qiu Mingyuan had been away for four or five days and there was no news. The wild game was distributed to Bai Xu and Lan Tong, and the family hadn't eaten meat for two days.

So Gu Qingya went to the town to buy a few catties of pork belly, a few big bones and a pair of pigs and came back.

Chen Wang's stir-fried sauerkraut with pig intestines is a must, but Gu Qingya doesn't know how to handle pig intestines, so she naturally called her fourth aunt.

Seeing her lavish eating and drinking, Mrs. Chen immediately criticized her: "Third girl, don't buy so much meat when you buy offal pigs in the future. People don't have as much meat as you for Chinese New Year."

Gu Qingya smiled: "Fourth aunt, now is the most fundamental time. If the food is too poor at this time, the nutrition in this person's body will not be able to keep up. Besides, it's less than a hundred yuan to spend so much , how many days does it take?"

Knowing that her niece is not in good health, she needs to mend more. After hearing the words, Chen Wang didn't say much. After she finished washing the pork, she called Gu Qingya into the kitchen, and taught her how to tighten her intestines and how to make lung slices. , How to make prunes, vegetables and meat.

After a while, Gu Qingya has mastered the basics, it's just a matter of practice.

Before leaving, Mrs. Chen didn't want the meat she gave, and finally took half a pair of pig intestines and a few slices of pig lungs.

It's not easy to keep the meat in hot weather. Although the dried plums have been fried for a long time before putting the vegetables dry, they can't be left like this, so Gu Qingya put the things in the earthen pot with a bamboo basket and hung them on the well middle.

With a sound of "bang", when Mrs. Chen Wang left the back door and forgot to close it, she saw Mrs. Chen Liu came in like a wind: "I don't even think about your mother if there is delicious food. Are you a child of my Chen family?"

Gu Qing Yaniao didn't even look at her, and quickly put the well cover on, so that the old woman wouldn't spray her saliva into the meat bowl.

"I heard that you bought a large piece of meat. Where is this meat? Hurry up and bring it out in a pot. Let me take it back and let your grandpa taste it too."

"How much money did Mammy give to buy meat for me?"

Chen Liu's face sank: "Third girl, what are you talking about? I have money to buy meat for you? Are you thinking well?"

Gu Qingya sneered: "Then why do you want to eat the meat I bought? Which onion are you?"

Chen Liushi was trembling with anger for an instant, and pointed at Gu Qingya's forehead, almost pointing at her face: "You damn girl, what are you talking about? Why can't I eat the meat you bought? Without my old woman, where would I be?" Is it for you? Hurry up and bring it out to me, are you going to die?"

I really don't know what to say!
Gu Qingya looked at Chen Liushi coldly: "Put away your claws for me, don't forget the pain that day!"

In an instant, Chen Liu's nerves jumped up, as if his wrist was still hurting, and he shook his hands with a ruthless face: "Okay, you damn girl, you are the only one who is stubborn. Okay, you are amazing, don't give me meat." Right? Just wait, I will make you look good!"

Gu Qingya is powerless against Ruanmeng, but she is very excited when dealing with these ruthless people: "Old woman, I'll wait and see how capable you are!"

Gu Qingya didn't take Chen Liushi's threats seriously at all. After annoyed the old woman away, she went back to the house to steam dried plums, vegetables and meat, and cooked rice.

Chen Liushi returned home angrily, Chen Huangshi deliberately asked: "Mother, didn't you ask you to bring back a bowl of meat for dad to taste?"

Chen Liushi glared at Chen Huangshi angrily: "Eat! Eat a fart! That damn girl actually threatened my old woman! One day I will deal with her!"

That damned girl dares to threaten the old woman if she doesn't give her meat to eat?
Chen Huangshi was actually very happy in her heart, but her eyes rolled up...
