Happy peasant girls in space

Chapter 41 The Bully Comes
Day by day, Mai Dalang and Liu Guihua in Wangjia Village have also become the richest man in the village and expert sugar producers from a peasant who was too poor to even have enough to eat.

Now the whole village and even the whole town know that the brown sugar chips from Mai Dalang's family are very popular.

And Mai Dalang and Liu Guihua can get a dividend of about 300 taels of brown sugar tablets from Liang Zhijie's grocery store every month.

Now more than 1000 mu of wasteland has been reclaimed by people, and the foundations and walls of the house at the entrance of the village have been laid.Most of the young and middle-aged men in Wangjia Village came to work for Mai Dalang.

The brothers from Mai's old house also joined the ranks of chopping sugarcane and making sugar. Mai Dalang gave each of them two taels of silver every month.

Many villagers in the village already know that the sweet grass that grows everywhere is called Ganshu, and it can also squeeze out sugar.They all took them back to try, but none of them squeezed out any sugar.

I want to visit Mai Dalang's house, but the door is locked every day.The villagers stopped thinking about it.Resigned to his fate, he went to cut sugar cane every day and sold it to Mai Dalang for a penny and five catties.Mai Dalang bought a lot.

The second day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day. The beams of Mai Dalang's new house were erected today.

Early in the morning, Mai Duoduo and Liang Zhijie rushed over from the county seat.

At three o'clock in the morning, there was a burst of firecrackers "ci li bala". After worshiping the gods of the four directions, the brothers of the Mai family put a beam on it, and threw copper plates and candies from it, and the children in the village rushed to grab it.

Mai Duoduo has helped plan the eleven acres of land. A two-entry house occupies an area of ​​about three acres, with five acres in the front yard and three acres in the backyard.

A large shed of about two acres was built in the front yard for a sugar-pressing workshop, and a separate tile-roofed house was built for sugar boiling.

The remaining land was used to plant flowers and trees, and a two-and-a-half-acre pond sugar was dug in the backyard.Half an acre is reserved for vegetable land.

The entire house is surrounded by a two-and-a-half-meter-high fence.A row of bamboo is planted around the entire wall.

A five-meter-wide gate was opened in the front yard, and a well was dug.The houses and walls are all made of green bricks.Of course Daiwa will build the roof!
After Mai Duoduo walked around the homestead, he and Liang Zhijie returned under the osmanthus tree, and the two sat leisurely at the stone table drinking tea.

The couple are feeding me a mouthful, and I'm feeding you a mouthful, you and I.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, a fleshy face, a snub nose, small eyes, and wearing a blue-Tibetan robe, led a group of little Luoluo into the yard angrily.

"Where is Mai Dalang, come out to me, I have something to do with him."

Liang Zhijie held down Mai Duoduo who was about to stand up, and whispered: "Duoer, you go back to your room. I'll take care of it here."

Mai Duoduo looked at this responsible husband-in-law, and could only nod slightly.

Liang Zhijie stood up and walked towards the group of people, and asked, "What can I do with him? I'm his son-in-law, so please tell me first if you have anything to do!"

The green-robed man glanced sideways, and the "nerd" dressed as a white-faced scholar in front of him teased, "You frail nerd is his son-in-law? Are you sure you can make decisions for him?"

Liang Zhijie was too lazy to talk nonsense to this kind of bully: "Tell me, what do you want to do here today?"

Seeing the icy aura exuded by this frail scholar, the green-robed man froze for a moment, then said, "My brother-in-law is the current county magistrate, Lin Fuchuan. I heard that Mai Dalang in Wangjia Village has a secret recipe for making brown sugar tablets."

"There is a secret recipe, what's the matter with the county magistrate?" Liang Zhijie only then knew that the bully was the brother-in-law of the county magistrate.

"My son came here today and asked him to give the secret recipe to the county magistrate obediently, so as not to suffer!" The man in the green robe said with his lips pursed.

There was a cold light in Liang Zhijie's handsome narrow eyes: "The secret recipe, give it to the county magistrate?"

The green-robed man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes! Be sensible."

"Why?" Liang Zhijie said coldly.

"Why, relying on Mai Dalang's private production of sugar, and not reporting it to the county government, he is guilty of the crime."

The green-robed man looked at Liang Zhijie silently, thinking he was afraid, and said, "My brother-in-law said that Mai Dalang came from a poor family. Don't hold him accountable, just let him hand over the secret recipe."

"Are you sure, you were called by your brother-in-law, not you in his name." Liang Zhijie stared at the man in the green robe and said.

　Thank you for the recommendation ticket of Love Like Meteor, thank you, thank you!
