Zhou Mingzhu muttered, with a look of pity on his face.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to do with Dani?" Bu Fan asked curiously.
"It's not like there's anything wrong. It's just that the soap workshop is on holiday recently and there's nothing to do at home. I just wanted to chat with Dani when I had nothing to do!" Zhou Mingzhu shrugged.
"It's true of you that you managed to rest for a few days, but you feel too free!" Bu Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I can't help it. I just work hard. If I don't work for a day, I feel bad!" Zhou Mingzhu sighed, looking like I was having a hard time.
"Well, you're working hard anyway, why don't you become the dean of the academy?" Bu Fan's eyes lit up.
"hehe!!"
Zhou Mingzhu twitched the corners of her mouth, sat at the table generously, and took out the cakes from the bamboo basket.
"Village chief, try the pastries I made myself."
Bu Fan was not polite. He reached out and picked up a mung bean cake and took a bite. It tasted really good.
"It's strange, why didn't I see the little monkey and the little pig?"
Zhou Mingzhu looked around and saw that there were only a small white donkey and a big ox in the yard, and couldn't help but wonder.
"They're hanging out!"
They said they were going to play, but actually the little monkey and the little pig were practicing in Tianyan Space.
"That's a pity, I also brought them bananas!" Zhou Mingzhu put the bananas on the table and said regretfully.
"It's okay, just keep it until they come back and I'll give it to them." Bu Fan said with a smile.
"That's okay. Since Dani wants to teach little Lu Ren her homework, then don't bother her. It's the same as talking to the village chief. I just have something to tell you!!"
Zhou Mingzhu also picked up the mung bean cake on the table and started eating it.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Bu Fan was curious.
"I plan to build two workshops in the back mountain after the year!" Zhou Mingzhu said mysteriously and in a low voice.
"Is it cement and red bricks?"
Bu Fan took a bite of the mung bean cake in his hand.
He had long known that Zhou Mingzhu secretly recruited several female disciples from the academy to work on cement and red bricks.
"The village chief knows everything well and can't hide anything from you. Speaking of the completion of these two workshops, not only do I have a share, but Xiaocao, the others, and the academy also have a share!"
Zhou Mingzhu gave a thumbs up.
"Why does the academy also have a share?"
Bu Fan was a little surprised.
The cement and red bricks are really good things nowadays.
Nowadays, most of the ground is made of dirt roads, which cannot withstand wind and rain.
Just like that extraordinary road outside the village.
When it was first repaired, the road surface was smooth.
But after so many years of exposure to the sun and rain, the road was already full of potholes.
However, paving roads with bricks and stones, or fired clay, with some eggs and glutinous rice paste added, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the cost is high, and it cannot be used on a large scale.
But cement is different. It is low-cost, can pave roads, and strengthen dams and city walls. It can be used together with red bricks. It is cheap and fast.
Now that I think about it, Zhou Mingzhu didn't just buy the back mountain just to raise chickens and plant fruit trees.
"You are quite generous, but as the saying goes, no reward comes without reward. I appreciate your kindness."
Bu Fan shook his head.
Whether it is cement or red bricks, they will definitely bring extremely generous benefits in the future.
Ordinary people would give up their interests as generously as Zhou Mingzhu.
"Who said that the academy has no merit? It is said that the cement and red bricks were all developed by Xiaocao and the others. Of course, the academy must be included in this, and I only contributed money to become a shareholder."
Zhou Mingzhu waved her hands and said indifferently, "Village chief, don't be polite to me. What relationship do I have with you? Isn't it worth two small workshops?"
"Let me explain in advance, I have nothing to do with you. At most, it's just a relationship between the village chief and the villagers." Bu Fan interrupted.
"Village Chief, you are not interesting enough. You have wiped it clean and don't want to admit it." Zhou Mingzhu covered her mouth, looking sad.
"Stop it, I just ate your food for a few months, why do you say it so ambiguously? Besides, I also taught you for several months?" Bu Fan said speechlessly.
"That's right, we also have a master-disciple relationship!" Zhou Mingzhu suddenly smiled playfully.
Afterwards, after some excuses, Bu Fan had no choice but to accept Zhou Mingzhu's gift.
"By the way, village chief, I also plan to pour cement on all the roads in the village after the year to build the most beautiful new countryside in Wei Dynasty!"
Zhou Mingzhu raised her chin, puffed out her chest, and spoke impassionedly.
"This cost is not small!" Bu Fan was stunned.
"This little money is nothing!" Zhou Mingzhu waved her hand and said proudly.
"This won't work. Since we have to build the road again, I will definitely not let you go out alone. When that happens, I will visit the old village chief and the heads of the various clans in the village and propose to them the road construction!"
Bu Fan shook his head.
In fact, he was quite envious of Zhou Mingzhu.
Live the way he wants to live.
It's a pity that this is a world of fairies and demons.
"fair enough!"
Although Zhou Mingzhu is generous, she does not care about trivial matters.
"Village Chief, I've talked to you so much about my affairs, now it's your turn, right?" Zhou Mingzhu thought of something and smiled.
"What can I talk about?" Bu Fan shrugged.
"It's been almost a year since you and Dani got married, right?" Zhou Mingzhu raised her eyebrows.
"Not a year!" Bu Fan corrected.
"That's about right. Think about it, you and Dani have been married for almost a year, and Dani's belly hasn't moved at all. Village Chief, you can't..."
After a pause, Zhou Mingzhu looked at him with a strange expression.
"I have no problem!" Bu Fan added: "Dani has no problem either!"
"It's really no problem?" Zhou Mingzhu raised her voice.
"Do you think I have a problem?" Bu Fan was speechless and asked.
"I'm not Dani, how would I know? You have to ask Dani about this!" Zhou Mingzhu said seriously.
Bu Fan: "..."
He actually couldn't keep up with Zhou Mingzhu's thinking for a while.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Dani walked out of the house and couldn't help but wonder when she heard Zhou Mingzhu mentioning her.
"I'm asking your husband..."
Zhou Mingzhu was about to speak when she was interrupted by Bu Fan, "That's enough, I'm going to be banned!"
"Village chief, don't be nervous, I'm just telling Dani about building roads!" Zhou Mingzhu blinked, looking innocent.
The corners of Bu Fan's mouth twitched.
Daqing was teased by Zhou Mingzhu just now.
"Building roads? That's a good thing!" Dani said with a smile.
"Who says otherwise? As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only with good roads can the village have a future!" Zhou Mingzhu said with high spirits.
Seeing that the two women were chatting happily, Bu Fan didn't feel like interrupting, so he stood up and said,
"You guys talk, I'll go find the old village chief and talk to him about building the cement road!"
"Don't be in such a hurry, right? You can talk tomorrow." Zhou Mingzhu said with a surprised expression.
"It's okay, I have to say it sooner or later anyway!"
Bu Fan shook his head.
Dani knew that he was going to the old village chief's house, so she hurried back to the house to prepare some gifts for him to bring to Wang Changgui.
After all, when visiting someone else's home, it would be rude to leave empty-handed.
Bu Fan likes the way Dani worries about him.
After receiving the gift, he rode the little white donkey down the mountain.
