Chu Qing just felt that letting Gan be Chu Yuan's daughter-in-law didn't seem strong enough.

First of all, the two of them haven't developed further yet. Gan Lai seems to be in love and doesn't want to think in that direction.

Secondly, Chu Yuan’s self-indulgence over the years has gone a bit “out of shape” and is difficult to control.

"You're right!" Chu Qing suddenly agreed with Chu Yuan: "You should go too! Just have someone at home to accompany me!"

Chu Yuan: "Ah? Well...boss, since you are going back with Xiaobao, I can stay home. That girl Gan Lai is too careless to do anything..."

Humph! I can’t cure you, you little one!

………………

Xiaobao did not return to Chuzhai in Jizhou, but followed You Zhenghang to Huai'an County.

"You have to entertain me well! You are treated like a high-class person in my house!" Xiaobao said.

You Zhenghang rolled his eyes at him: "Come on! Your family doesn't even allow a servant to follow you, so I have to do everything by myself! It's just a waste of time every day. I'm trapped in the house and can't get out.

!”

Xiaobao doesn't mind either: "Okay, whatever you want, I can collect this year's dried vegetables and sauces from other counties first!"

You Zhenghang: "..."

Why do I feel like someone has poked my weak side?

Xiaobao invested in his father's Huai'an County.

You Zhenghang couldn't let Xiaobao have the upper hand and retorted: "I don't bother to argue with you. I spend all my time poaching doors and stealing holes to make a little money!"

Xiaobao: "Oh, you go ahead and I'll go talk to Uncle You about how to help people make a little money."

You Zhenghang: "I'm afraid of you! Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a comfortable stay."

Huaian County has spent more than half a year of busy and fulfilling life.

All men, women and children were busy.

Young and middle-aged men are responsible for the work in each household; middle-aged and elderly men are busy weaving baskets and doing carpentry; in addition to housework, women are also sewing, knitting, spinning and weaving.

The grandmothers in the family also dry vegetables, make sauces, process offal, etc.

Even children are following adults around.

The younger generation with more flexible minds integrated several tasks and assigned them to the villagers, forming the most primitive "assembly line", allowing everyone to work less and earn more money.

The magistrate even made notices of sauce recipes and mechanical drawings and posted them everywhere. As long as they were made according to the drawings and passed inspection, they would be taken away and settled on the spot.

It was rare for You Zhenghang to see his father's brows unfurled and his smile full; his mother also changed from being introverted and gentle to becoming more and more cheerful, courageous, and less visible to others.

After not being at home for several months, You Zhenghang wanted to talk to his mother and feel her tender care, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles:

"Hang'er, you go play first. Mother has to go to the bookstore. Your father is anxious to get the drawings."

"Sorry, Hang'er, mother will come find you after settling this account."

"How about after dinner? Mother has some work on her hands now..."

You Zhenghang suddenly felt that Xiaobao's mother was really kind and never refused Xiaobao's intimacy.

"Chun understands, you and your mother are so clingy every day, don't you think it's too much? Just like unweaned children!" You Zhenghang said.

Xiaobao sneered: "Auntie, I don't have time to talk to you anymore?"

You Zhenghang was exposed and felt a little ashamed: "My mother and I are not like you and your mother! My mother is dignified, gentle, elegant and virtuous..."

Xiaobao: "I know! My aunt is actively following my mother's lead and dares to show her face to benefit the people."

You Zhenghang: "My mother is not showing off, she is just helping my father share the burden!"

Xiaobao: "Is there a difference? You are talking about the purpose, I am talking about the process!"

You Zhenghang: "..."

It’s so heartbreaking!

Xiaobao patted You Zhenghang on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Hang'er, you are not young anymore. You are already twelve, and you will be thirteen during the Chinese New Year. If you live in the country, you have reached the age to discuss marriage. Why can't you grow up?

What? Can’t you find something to do by yourself, instead of having to pester Auntie? "

You Zhenghang got goosebumps all over his body and tried his best to shake off Xiaobao's hand: "Who are you calling 'Hang'er'? Is that what you can call?"

Xiaobao: "Tch! My aunt is ignoring you. I told you what I should say to you for my aunt. Why don't you appreciate it at all?"

Xiaobao took You Zhenghang like this every day, wandering around to inspect the raw material processing progress of his "food court" while trying to annoy You Zhenghang when he had nothing to say.

You Zhenghang had to help Xiaobao keep accounts, and he had to endure all kinds of weird smells to check the semi-finished products.

"You used your hand to pinch your nose, so how can you read it?" Xiaobao knocked off You Zhenghang's hand that was covering his nose.

"What the hell is this? It smells worse than a toilet!" You Zhenghang pointed at a wooden barrel angrily.

Inside the barrel were pig intestines that had been cleaned by the butcher's wife. They were pink, white, wrinkled and piled into a wooden barrel. What a smell!

Xiaobao: "Stinks worse than the toilet? I think it smells delicious when you eat it!"

You Zhenghang: "Impossible! How could I eat such disgusting things?"

Xiaobao started to pick off his fingers one by one: "When you eat the stir-fried sausage, you say, 'It's golden and crispy, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.'

'Long-lasting'; when eating dry-stirred pork sausage, you said 'deep red in color, tough in texture and spicy in flavor'..."

You Zhenghang couldn't believe it: "You, you, you, you tricked me into eating such disgusting things!"

Xiaobao: "Don't bring anything like this. It's incredibly cheap and yet you're so good! You've eaten all the good stuff, and you still cursed me after it's over!"

Then he said to the butcher's wife: "Did you hear that, aunt? It's too smelly! Did your man drink the wine given to you to wash your intestines? I won't accept your intestines, they're not up to standard!"

The butcher's wife put her hands on her waist and said, "What's going on? I've cleaned it up for you and you're just torturing me for fun if you say you won't take it away?"

Next to it is the rack and table for decomposing pork, and the knives of different shapes on them are quite sharp.

Although this is Xiaobao's first time patrolling here, he is not unfamiliar here.

There are boys from the Chu family in Huai'an County who are responsible for teaching production, purchasing various finished and semi-finished products, and keeping records of what is distributed to which villages.

Every time, they would tell Xiaobao in detail who made what kind of goods, who was responsible for which goods, and which village contracted for how many kinds of work.

Who is in charge of which family, and which family has what fun? Xiaobao records them all in his notebook of anecdotes.

The notebooks are all loose-leaf notebooks that Chu Qing cut and bound with his own hands.

It can be said that Xiaobao's grasp of the people's livelihood in the villages and towns in Huai'an County is no worse than that of You Zhenghang's father.

So when he smelled the fishy smell of pig intestines in the barrel, he knew that their house had not been cleaned carefully as required.

But it was Xiaobao's first time here, and he was a child. You Zhenghang was not very old either. In order not to disturb the villagers, Xiaobao's guards were all dressed up as farmers and scattered outside the yard, so there were only the two of them in the backyard of the butcher's house.

There are three butcher ladies.

Now the butcher's wife is calling the shots, and Xiaobao has a headache.

The notebook only recorded that the butcher was an honest, honest man who loved drinking, and that his wife was a quick-working woman, not that she was so unruly.

It depends on who is right.

For the boys of the Chu family, all of them have served as soldiers and killed enemies, have a strong spirit, and are still adults. Naturally, the butcher lady can do whatever they are told, and it is very convenient.

But right now, what is there to fear about two children who don’t have all their fur?

A man relies on his clothes, and a horse relies on its saddle. Looking at the clothes these two children don't look like rich young men, they might just be little bastards working part-time.

She gave all the liquor she received to her natal brothers and did not use it to wash her large intestine.

If it's not useful, then it's useless. It wasn't used before. Besides, who used to eat this stuff? It was always sold with lean meat.
