Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

Chapter 107 - 107 Finding Fault


107 Finding Fault

The Lantern Festival had passed, and the streets of the county town were no longer as popular as they had been during the New Year. However, there were still some signs of the New Year. The spring festival couplets on the door were bright red that had not been weathered by the wind and rain.

She followed the little wolf into the county office without any obstruction. When the officers saw her, they greeted her with a smile, “Miss Jian, Happy New Year!”

Jian Qingqing smiled and replied, “Happy New Year.”

Seeing Jian Qingqing arrive, Ming Zhiyan put down his pen and went up to her. He asked, “Miss Jian, what’s the matter?”

Jian Qingqing smiled and asked, “Sir, don’t you think you’ve forgotten something?”

Ming Zhiyan looked at her in confusion. “Hmm?”

Jian Qingqing reminded him, “In a few days, we’ll start digging the land.”

Ming Zhiyan suddenly understood and explained, “I was thinking of going tomorrow, but I didn’t know Miss Jian was in such a hurry.”

“It’s good that you remember. The main thing is that many people have started to move the soil these few days. They’re afraid that if it’s too late, they’ll plant their own crops.”

After saying that, Jian Qingqing said her goodbyes. “Then I’ll wait for Lord Ming to come tomorrow. Goodbye, Lord Ming.”

“Miss Jian, wait a moment.”

Ming Zhiyan suddenly called out to her, Jian Qingqing turned around in confusion. “Lord Ming, is there anything else?”

Ming Zhiyan was a little hesitant. He said, “A few days ago, the Emperor sent an army to help Miss Jian grow high-yield grain. What does Miss Jian want to do with them?”

“Ah?”

Jian Qingqing looked at him in a daze. Her mind seemed to be unable to process what he was saying. What did he mean? It should not be as simple as it seemed… right?

Ming Zhiyan explained again, “I told His Majesty about the high yield of grain. He was very happy and valued the high yield of grain, so he sent a team of 200 people to help.”

Jian Qingqing finally understood. She was a little speechless.

No way! Why did he send such a big army? If he sent an expert who knew how to grow grain, she would still be able to accept it, but a whole army? Could they help her farm?

She refused, “No, I don’t think so. If you arrange for them to work in the county office, I don’t the space for so many people to live. Feeding them is also a problem. Besides, with the officers and soldiers here, the villagers will feel uncomfortable.”

Ming Zhiyan said gently, “These are not problems. The county office can hire people to make meals for them. As for the accommodation, just let them come back and live here. They can do any kind of work. If Miss Jian needs anything, just tell them. If you don’t accept it, it might be hard to explain to His Majesty.”

Hearing this, Jian Qingqing could only helplessly say, “Alright then, ask them to change into casual clothes before they come. When the time comes, I will tell the villagers that they are the workers that I invited.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded in agreement.

After leaving the county office, Jian Qingqing planned to go to the food stall to arrange some work. Today was the first day of work after the new year, and there were many jobs that needed her to preside over.

Just as she arrived outside the food stall, she heard a shrill voice shouting from inside, “You bunch of lowlifes, do you know who I am! How dare you stop me! Be careful that I don’t lock you all up in jail!”

The shopkeeper Jian Qingqing invited replied in a neutral manner, “Miss, no matter who you are or what your status is, you have to make an appointment to come to our restaurant to eat hotpot. Today’s appointment is already full. If you want to eat, you can make an appointment for three days later.”

The girl was flustered and exasperated. “Let me tell you, this sister beside me is the daughter of the prefect of Cairo City! If you offend us, you will not be able to bear the consequences! Quickly invite us in!”
