Chapter 62 A Sincere Invitation
Chapter 62 A sincere invitation
Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu
It is unprecedented to have cooked meat to eat.
No one said anything. For the sake of meat, they all moved patiently to the western suburbs.
From a distance, they could smell the aroma of barbecue. When they got closer, they saw rows of roasted whole lambs.
When the sheep roaster saw them, he immediately showed a bright face and said, "Come here, fellow villagers, the mutton is just cooked. Come over and eat it while it's hot."
If you look closely, you will see that these enthusiastic and thoughtful roast sheep guys are all laborers recruited by Li Yewu.
All 200,000 people stopped what they were doing today and started working as volunteers. Their mission was to entertain these 800,000 people with drinks and meat.
The refugees were completely confused about the situation, and as soon as they got closer, they were stuffed with a large piece of meat.
Everyone was flattered and took the meat like puppets, biting into their mouths with a groan.
After taking a bite of cumin mutton, people were stunned.
It’s not like they’ve never eaten roasted meat before, but! They’ve never tasted such delicious roasted meat!
I don’t know what was sprinkled on it, but it completely covered up the smell of the mutton, and even enhanced its taste, making it more delicious than ever before.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of oil in your mouth, fragrant on your lips and teeth, and endless aftertaste... After one bite, you forget about your worries and sorrows, and all you can see is this unique bite of roasted lamb.
Everyone didn't know that what they were tasting now was a unique skill learned from a big roast sheep town run by Li Yewu.
Although people have made in-depth research on food since ancient times, many spices were not discovered in ancient times.
For example, in Taihe City, people rely entirely on handouts for food, so how can they bother to study the taste of food?
As for the wine shops, the people who entertained the most were probably bandits and gangsters.
These people in the world seem to be free to grudge and grudge freely, but in fact many of them have only been traveling in Taihe Prefecture their whole lives and have never gone out, let alone see the world.
So I don’t have much research or contribution on food.
Taihe Prefecture and even Dachu as a whole do not have high requirements for taste bud enjoyment, and the meaning of food is only to satisfy the hunger.
However, as a dream town soul designer, she is well aware of the happiness that food can bring to people.
So she worked tirelessly in the past few days, recruiting a bunch of children to help her find spices, and after unremitting efforts, she made roast lamb full of modern taste.
Don't despise modern tastes.
After all, modern tastes are condensed from the culinary essence of thousands of years of ancient people. The richness of the taste is as advanced as science and technology. It is absolutely delicious that the ancients could not have imagined.
No, everyone who received the roast lamb went crazy eating it.
When everyone was eating happily, Li Yewu asked people to distribute the money and bags of rice to the refugees.
For a time, there was money, food and meat, and everyone felt like they were in a dream. Everyone's nervousness and vigilance finally relaxed, and they were in the mood to look around.
This piece of farmland finally fell into everyone's sight.
At this time, people were surprised to realize that the deserted fields covered with weeds had been repaired at some point.
All the weeds are gone, and all that is exposed is fertile land.
Moreover, these lands are planned very well, and they are as square as tofu.
There are many canals among these tofu blocks, but there is no water in the canals at this time, but if you look closely, you will find that each field has a water outlet. As long as the canal is diverted from the Chu River, water should be able to enter.
To put it bluntly, who among these refugees is not a farmer? They are all master farmers. They can tell whether the fields are fertile or not, and whether they can be taken care of well in the future by looking at the ditches.
I have to say that these farmlands are really well planned, and the paths on the fields extend in all directions, some are large and some are small.
Whether it's planting rice, harvesting, plowing or driving cattle, it's very convenient.
And you can see the village from a distance.
For a moment, everyone was eager to take a look, but they couldn't move.
"If you have nothing to do, go and take a look. There are no owners available to visit these houses for the time being."
The corvees noticed everyone's hesitation and encouraged them to take a look.
In this way, everyone started to move forward half-heartedly.
…
Yuehua Village, the dream village praised countless times by Governor Cui, is located on the banks of the Dachu River.
This village is not big, with a total of two hundred households. The houses are scattered here in an orderly manner. Each household has two yards, front and back. There are stone tables and benches, trees, and farm tools in the front yard. The children are here.
Playing and reading, the adults are drying millet and doing farm work here, and the big yellow dog sticks out its tongue by the den...
The house is made of wood and has two floors, with a separate hut and a total of 10 kitchens. The whole family can live in a bright, dry and comfortable place...
There is an open space across the corridor, which can be used as a small vegetable garden. Facing the sparkling river, you can grow some of your favorite vegetables. If you don't finish them, you can sell them in Taihe City...
Everyone didn't know why, looking at these houses, they unconsciously sketched out what it would be like to live here...
While the adults were obsessed with the imagination given by these courtyards, the children spoke first.
"Dad, this house is so beautiful. I really want to live in it."
"Mom, I like it here, can we stay?"
…
The children's questions gradually brought the adults who had been lost in reverie back to their senses. They glanced at the children awkwardly and said hurriedly: "This is not our house, let's go."
As he said that, he pulled the child away.
At this moment, the sound of gongs was heard outside, each sound faster than the last, and everyone walked outside unconsciously.
Only then did I realize that it was the princess who had arrived. She was signaling for everyone to gather because she had something to say.
Although everyone was wary of Li Yewu, at this juncture, they could only cooperate and go over to see what she was going to do.
I saw the princess walking up to the high platform with a smile. There was no arrogance on her face, only the kindness of the girl next door: "Has everyone eaten?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a while before nodding awkwardly: "I'm full... I'm full."
"That's good, everyone must have received the last benefit.
Prince Chang's Mansion is really unable to continue to support this huge welfare expenditure, so it can only regretfully close it. From today on, the era of slum relief has officially come to an end. This roast mutton meal is a farewell feast for everyone."
Everyone twitched their lips, with expected expressions on their faces.
"However, don't be disappointed. Today's farewell is not the end, but a new beginning.
I think you have already visited Yuehua Village and Rizhao Village. This is the new safe haven I want to provide you.
Taking advantage of this opportunity for everyone to gather together, I would like to formally introduce to you the welfare policy and overall structure of the Taihe City Rural Demonstration Base Project!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What was the princess saying? Why couldn't they understand a word?
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll just focus on the core content and preach it.
These two villages are prepared for everyone. As long as you submit an application for return to cultivated land, each household can be allocated a house and 50 acres of land. You will enjoy the "double exemption and full income" policy, that is, three years of farm rent and no land rent.
