After the magistrate's birthday banquet, Nanzi County Magistrate Shifang did not dare to delay for a moment. He took his servants and worked hard, and rushed back to Nanzi County in five days.

As soon as he arrived at the government office, he didn't have time to take a sip of tea first, so he hurriedly summoned Cao Tongpan and asked if anything unusual had happened in the towns and villages below during his absence.
The county magistrate has been away for more than half a month, and only Judge Cao Tong has the highest rank in the entire county government. He is really dedicated to handling government affairs, but the weather is going smoothly, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. Everyone is busy, and there is no time to report anything.
Already?
Even if there is, no matter how important it is, we have to wait until the autumn harvest is over.
"Well, Lord Fu, when you go to the state capital this time, do you have any instructions from Lord Zhizhou?"
Cao Tongpan saw his superior's brows furrowed and looked anxious. He thought he had eaten a meal in the state capital and came back to find trouble, so he became even more cautious about asking questions.
Shifang was so anxious that he could not think of listening to his subordinates talking about him. He immediately shook his sleeves and shouted angrily.
"I'm just asking you if you have anything special to report during this period. Why are you so hesitant?!"
When Cao Tong heard this, he cried out in his heart. Could it be that there was some unjust case in the county and someone went to the state capital to complain?!
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head and answered respectfully, thinking that no matter what happened, he would put himself aside first.
"While the official was away, I was taking care of various things in the county and was very dedicated to my business, but this, nothing really happened during this period."

"If there's anything wrong, it's that the villages and towns have begun the autumn harvest one after another, and the grain collectors and subordinate officials have also been dispatched."
Shifang listened to Cao Tongpan's few words back and forth, but he didn't get to the point at all, and the irritability he had accumulated for several days almost reached its peak.
"That's all! I'll just go and talk about it myself!"
After saying that, he stood up and left again.
"Hey? Hey? County Lord, where are you going!"
Cao Tongfan was baffled by his superior's behavior and went up to question him. Unexpectedly, when he chased him to the yamen gate, he didn't even see anyone. He only looked at the horse's butt that was going away and took a bite.
of dust.
Xiaerli Village, Songlin Town.
The villagers caught fish a few days ago. Through the Five Blessings, they not only saved themselves the trouble of cooking it, but also sold it at a good price. Now they have money in their pockets, and even the busy autumn harvest is smiling.
In the morning when the rice is being harvested, this family will send you white rice and fried pork slices at noon, and that family will send you steamed buns with shredded pork in sauce tomorrow. They are comparing each other overtly and secretly.
It's bright and cheerful.
All thanks to the banker's girl.

Zhuang Er now took over Dafang's paddy field and finished cutting the rice in half a day. The grains were all threshed and dried in the yard yesterday.
Every household in the village was busy, and no one had time to buy tofu door-to-door. It happened that the sellers didn't come to pick up the goods recently, so he thought he would push the cart and go to the town to sell it, so as to earn more.
Pushing a wooden cart, there were four or five boards of soft tofu and old tofu on it, as well as a box of dried tofu, thousands of sheets and other items. Zhuang Er was very happy as he watched the busy figures of the villagers.
Our village is different from before!
At this time, the county magistrate Shifang set out from Nanzi County as if his heart was on fire. He didn't bring any servants with him. He rode fast and arrived at Songling Town two days later. When he arrived, he didn't recruit any officials from the town.
I just looked for a restaurant and asked someone to serve some random meals to fill my stomach before setting off on the road.
"Sir, you look like you are from out of town, so you should try our local specialties!"
The waiter had a sharp eye, and saw that the visitor was about forty years old, but he was riding a big horse. Although he was a little tired, but when he looked closely, the clothes and fabrics were all of high quality. It was obvious that he was a customer who was not short of money.
When Shifang heard the word "specialty", his thoughts changed and he thought to himself, could this specialty refer to rice fish?
So Dangjia said: "If you have any specialties, just bring them up."
The waiter agreed, and hurriedly went down to notify the kitchen. After waiting for a long time, two plates of vegetables and a portion of soup were brought up.

Shifang took a closer look, where was the shadow of the fish?
He couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that Zuo Jin was a liar?
"This is?"
Seeing that the customer was puzzled, the waiter smiled and explained: "These are local specialties, vermicelli mutton pot, and soy sauce stewed tofu. In case you are not used to it, we also have stir-fried pork slices with seasonal vegetables."
"Are you satisfied, sir?"
There are three dishes, two of which I don’t recognize. It’s not an exaggeration to say they are specialties.
Although he didn't see the rice fish, Shifang didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded and dismissed the waiter, and then he immersed himself in eating.
After finishing his meal, he didn't stay too long. He just asked the waiter in the direction of Li Village before setting off.
"Erli Village?"
When the waiter heard this, he looked at Shifang from head to toe again. It wasn't until the magistrate showed displeasure that he smiled and apologized.

"I'm afraid the guest officer came here after hearing the news!"
"I advise you not to waste your time. The feed in Erli Village is never sold to the outside world. Your trip is in vain."
"What feed?"
Shifang was confused by the young boy's robbery. He came to inquire about rice fish. Why didn't anyone here say anything about it? Instead, they said something he couldn't understand at all?
Also, what is this feed?
But before he could ask another question, another guest came to the door. The waiter immediately left him and hurried to greet others.
The county magistrate was not angry either, and thought of simply going to the city gate and looking for someone to inquire.
Sure enough, when he left the city, he only asked the guard guard briefly, and the other party pointed him in the direction without even thinking about it, without wasting any time.
After walking for most of an hour, Shifang looked at the weeds and vines on the road, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was walking in the right direction. Maybe it was because the autumn harvest was approaching, and there was no one on the country road. He couldn't find anyone to ask for directions.
.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward. Fortunately, after a moment of burning incense, he saw a figure pushing a cart in front of him. He was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after him.

"May I ask this brother, is Erli Village this direction?"
Zhuang Er had already heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away. He turned his head and saw that the person asking the question was a middle-aged man riding a horse. He couldn't help but feel strange.
This man is unfamiliar, but he wants to know what Erli Village is doing?
"This is the direction."
When Shifang heard this, he clasped his fists and thanked him, then pressed the horse's belly and continued on his way. Who expected to be called out by the man behind him?
"Brother, what are you going to Erli Village for?"
Shifang thought for a moment, could this person who asked such a question be from Erli Village?
Thinking of this, he pulled the reins again and stopped the horse, "I heard that there are rice and fish in Erli Village. I came here this time just to collect some for trading."
As soon as he said this, Zhuang Er let his guard down.
Now that his Erli Village is rich, there are more or less people with evil intentions making plans, so he just thought about it before asking one more question.
But since this person is here to buy rice and fish, it's better to let him know and save others a wasted trip.
"Brother, you are late. All the rice and fish in our village will be taken away by the Five Fortunes!"
When Zhuang Er said this, there was not only joy on his face, but also a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that he was extremely satisfied with this matter.
When Shifang heard Zhuang Er's words, he finally felt relieved after having been worried for ten days.
Zuo Jin of the Five Blessings was indeed telling the truth. There really is rice and fish in Erli Village!
"Brother, you came too late."
Zhuang Er smiled and showed his white teeth, "Let's go back quickly. The autumn harvest has already begun in the village, and the water in the fields has long been drained. How can we find any fish?"
"this……"
Since Shifang has come this far, he will definitely not leave like this. No matter what, he has to go to Erli Village.
"What about the feed?"

He suddenly thought that the thing mentioned by the waiter just now must be a specialty of this village.
"Feed? Brother, besides fish, do you also want to buy feed?"
"Could it be that he is just like old Liu Tou, who raises animals?"
Zhuang Er asked a question, but Shifang didn't know how to answer. He could only nod his head vaguely.
"Brother, it seems that our family is also engaged in big business. Why don't you come back to the village with me and go find the village chief to talk about this matter."
The drying kiln in the village is running all day long, and the feed output is enough for the breeding factory. The excess is not only supplied to Lao Liutou, but the rest is piled in the warehouse. It is not known whether it will get insect or moldy over time.
It happened that a businessman came here, and if I could sell it to him, it would be the best of both worlds.
