Chapter 74: Master Bao: Worthy of Being a Couple

"boom"

"Did I hear it right?"

"Did I hear correctly what the noble man from the Zhao family said?"

"That's right!"

“I heard it clearly too.”

"This"

“It’s sent.”

"If it's true, it will be easier for us to get through this year!"

As soon as Zhao Shi finished speaking, the two hundred people in the three courtyards immediately looked incredulous and asked the people around them.

Finally, the old woman said something that resonated with the people around her, and they all said, "Yes, if it's true, it will be easier for us to get through this year."

"Yes, yes, maybe the kid can even get a cotton coat this winter!"

Yes, get through it.

It is summer now and there is no drought or flood. We can survive even if we go outside the city to dig wild vegetables. But in winter, it will be like the gates of hell.

Once winter comes, whether you can survive it depends entirely on fate.

Sometimes, a person would go to bed at night and be frozen stiff the next morning.

When a snowstorm occurs, the population of the entire Anpingfang will be reduced by at least 20%.

The mortality rate is especially high among children and the elderly.

"Sir, can we old ladies do it?" At this time, an old woman who was trembling as she walked asked.

"can!"

"I only look at the goods here, no matter who made them!"

Zhao Shi nodded in confirmation.

"That's great, that's great, thank you so much, thank you so much!" the old woman thanked repeatedly.

At his age, he is essentially a useless person in this world. Even when fleeing famine, he is one of the first people to be abandoned.

Even on ordinary days, the best and driest meals are reserved for the men and children in the family.

Of course she can do needlework and embroidery.

But no one bought it.

People from big families have taboos. If they use an old woman, what if she dies one day? Would you let them use things made by a dead person?

For the same price, wouldn’t it be better to use young people’s?

"However." Zhao Shi spoke again at this time. As soon as the two words "however" came out, these people's hearts instantly lifted, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

Zhao Shi did not keep them in suspense. After everyone had focused, he said, "I think Ling'er has explained the conditions for entering the Zhao family workshop!"

"I've said it before, this is what we should do. Even if you don't ask for it, we will set up a tablet for you at home!" the old woman said immediately.

After saying this, he glanced at the people around him.

She seems to be ready to fight with anyone who has a problem with her.

Not only her, but many old ladies also have the same expression.

Although they didn't know the purpose of the Zhao family's actions, it did not cause any harm to them.
Besides, it is normal for the master's family to have many rules, and other families have even more rules.
"You don't need a longevity tablet!" Zhao Shi shook his head, and the smile on his face disappeared. He said with a serious expression, "I know you are surprised by this request, but I do this to tell you that the Zhao family has men and ancestral spirits. At the same time, you should also know that it is the Zhao family that feeds you. Don't think that the Zhao family is easy to bully or fool just because there are only two women in the Zhao family."

Many people were shocked when they heard what Zhao Shi said.

yes! !
The Zhao family today is not without support. The ancestral spirit alone is enough to allow the Zhao family to survive in this chaotic world.

Are you doing some tricks behind the scenes?
Who knows if we are under the surveillance of the ancestral spirits?
In an instant, many people who had little thoughts put those little thoughts away.

After Zhao Shi finished speaking, the courtyard fell into an eerie silence. He did not speak, but waited quietly for a while before putting on a smile again on his face and said, "Of course, you can rest assured. Now the Zhao family's ancestral spirit barrier can only cover our own home. The two courtyards on the left and right are not within the coverage of the ancestral spirit barrier!"

After hearing what Zhao Shi said, the women were obviously relieved.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be monitored all the time.

"Little fox!" At the gate of the Zhao family, Bao Ye, who had originally planned to take charge, couldn't help but mutter to himself after watching Zhao Shi's performance.

He knew that his worries were in vain.

In some ways, no one has been able to grasp this little fox.

These women are even worse.

If Zhao Shi wasn't there, the Zhao family would probably be bullied to death by these women.

In this world, even women are not simple. If they think you are easy to bully, they will bully you to death. He was just afraid that Jiang Ling and Zhao Yan would be kind-hearted and cause unnecessary trouble.

There are kind-hearted people, but they are only relatively kind-hearted. It is estimated that truly kind-hearted people would not be alive today.

Although Jiang Ling and Zhao Yan have not had an easy time in recent years, with the foundation of several generations, the tavern business is still pretty good. Compared with ordinary families, it is considered good, and naturally they have not experienced the filthiness of the lowest class of people.

So, Mr. Bao thought about taking charge.

I just happened to see how Zhao Shi controlled these women.

It can be said that from the very beginning, when Zhao Shi chatted with Erniu's wife about family matters, these women were brought into his rhythm.

The means are fully revealed in the words.

After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Linger and his figure slowly disappeared.

"Dear neighbors, if any of you have finished embroidery or needlework, you can bring it out now. However, when you need to work in the future, you must do it in the courtyards on the left and right. Work starts at Chenshi and ends at Youshi. You need to worship before and after work. Those who can accept it can stay, and those who can't accept it can go home now!"

Jiang Linger was not a stage-fearing person, and she spoke after Zhao Shi disappeared.

After saying that, Jiang Linger slapped her forehead, as if she remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, if you have children to take care of, or bring children to work, the Zhao family can arrange a meal of porridge at noon, only for the children, but these children need to worship the Zhao family's ancestors before the meal, and thank the ancestors for the food!"

"Also, the Zhao family will hire two cooks to help the children make porridge at noon. Those who don't know how to do needlework will be given priority. Sister-in-law of the Erniu family, I wonder if you can do it?"

Bao Ye was watching from the side.

I have to sigh, these two are really a perfect couple. Now Jiang Linger has learned Zhao Shi's tricks of taking advantage of others. As soon as she tasted the sweetness, she learned another trick and almost completed 80% of it.

Especially the last one, which can basically control everyone.

Although it was just one meal of thin porridge, most of the families in Anpingfang now have two meals a day. Even so, only the men who work at home can eat something solid, while the women and children have to eat clear soup and porridge.

You can hear the swaying sound when you walk.

The children all have big bellies and thin necks, and some are swollen all over. It’s okay now and nothing can be seen. But if they continue to only have one meal in the winter, it will not just be one or two bowls of thin porridge, but their lives, very likely the lives of entire families.

Don’t you care about the adults?

this is necessary!
Once you get involved, a good thing might turn into a bad thing.

All the women in the yard were stunned, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Mr. Zhao, are you telling the truth?" an old woman asked in disbelief.

unbelievable!

You know, nowadays men do heavy work, such as smashing stones and mining, and they don’t have to worry about food. Now the Zhao family actually provides meals for their children?

How could they believe it?

"Of course it's true. The Zhao family has never broken their promise!"

Jiang Linger said in a decisive tone.

Ever since she learned about her family's origins, Jiang Linger now attaches great importance to the Zhao family's reputation.

Nothing is more important than the Zhao family's reputation.

"Thank you. Thank you, sir."

After hearing what Jiang Linger said, the old woman knelt down facing the Zhao family's ancestral hall.

"Thank you, noble man!"

"Little dog, kneel down quickly and thank the noble man, okay?"

When the others saw this, they also immediately knelt down in front of the Zhao family's ancestral hall. Those who had children even pulled their children to kneel down.
