Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

The so-called takeout was to send the food from the restaurant to the guests’ houses so that the guests could enjoy the delicious food at home leisurely. They did not have to worry about the curfew or their image being damaged.

Every delivery man was registered. When they received the goods and delivered them, they had to stamp them with the seal issued by the government. This way, both parties were more at ease. They could find the source immediately if anything went wrong.

“Therefore, I have to say this first. You have to consider it carefully before taking on the job. If you accidentally break someone’s things, you have to compensate them.”

Hearing this, everyone started to hesitate again. After about 30% of the people left, the remaining people had firm gazes. At this moment, the bailiffs added under Xiaoxlao’s signal, “But you can rest assured that not all the ingredients can be taken out. We’ll tell those shop owners first that they’ll still be in charge of expensive ingredients like shark’s fin and bird’s nest. They will also avoid using too expensive cutlery when sending them out.”

To put it bluntly, this takeaway business was launched by Xiaoxiao to relieve the pressure of supper. What was more suitable to be delivered than crayfish?

As long as there was an iron pot that could be covered tightly, regardless of whether it was the garlic paste Thirteen Spices crayfish or the steamed and stir-fried egg yolk crayfish, it would still be steaming when the lid was lifted at the customer’s house. It was very difficult not to be tempted.

The originally weak supper business was lively again. The shopkeepers continued to smile until their eyes couldn’t be seen. They were all very grateful to “Miss Ning”, who had suggested the delivery method. Hence, when this girl came to ask them if they wanted to add a new convenient and fast supper, everyone expressed their willingness to hear the details.

Xiaoxiao gathered these people together and had a happy tasting meeting. The charcoal oven and various ingredients that she had prepared long ago were placed on the spot. Then, a wonderful fragrance wafted into everyone’s noses.

That’s right, what Xiaoxiao wanted to cook was barbecue.

Ah Da and Ah He—the herdsman who had a deep relationship with their sheep—ate more than 30 spicy mutton skewers with tears in their eyes. Then, they contacted their companions and asked them to prepare more sheep to send into the pass.

The other herdsmen who had just received the news felt that the two of them were daydreaming. However, when the real money was in their hands and they exchanged it for food that could prevent them from starving in the winter, everyone immediately rubbed their palms together and fought for the opportunity.

“That’s strange. Haven’t the people behind the pass ever been used to mutton? We were talking about strong-smelling meat. Why do they suddenly want it so much?”

“I don’t know. I heard from Ah Da and the others that a farmer made some spices. When they sprinkled it on the mutton, there was no smell at all. It was even fragrant and strange. The two of them couldn’t stop eating. Now, they drool when they herd sheep.”

“Those two bastards didn’t know to bring some back…”

Mrs. Shen did not expect Xiaoxiao to start a new business after she bought milk for her. Now, almost all the restaurants had set up carbon stoves to sell barbecue. Roasted lamb skewers were the most common and sold the best. The rest, such as roasted vegetables, roasted mushrooms, roasted eggplant, and so on, were in short supply because of the cheap price.

In this way, the troublesome green prawns became takeout, and the fast and convenient barbecue became a new hobby. Let’s talk about the fragrance of meat on the way home after work at night. Who couldn’t resist the temptation of 1,2,3 4,5,6,7,8 or 9 skewers?

One skewer of mutton cost two copper coins, two skewers of roasted vegetables cost one copper coin. They worked diligently for the entire day. It was not too much to occasionally improve their food quality at night, right? The key was that this price was not expensive! Compared to the meat dishes in the restaurant that cost dozens of copper coins a serving, the mutton skewers were simply too worth it. If word got out, they would also be someone who ate meat every day. How showy!

County Magistrate Shen looked at the prosperous streets and thought that the harvest that was secretly cultivated by the Shen Family would be shocking in a few months. He felt that the whole world was wonderful.

The adviser, who knew the inside story, secretly said to him, “The refugees are properly settled and can get along with the local people. The taxes and food in Xijiang County will increase greatly in the coming year. Lord, with your political achievements, there’s hope for your promotion!”

County Magistrate Shen shook his head. “I’ve only been in Xijiang County for a short time. I’m not in a hurry to be promoted. I’m already satisfied to see the people living and working well.”

Speaking of which, this was all thanks to that girl from the Ning Family.

The appearance of new rice seeds, the stability of the refugees, the brisk business of the restaurants, and the pots recently sold by the blacksmith were all facilitated by her. Could this girl be his lucky star?

Just as he was thinking, someone came to report that Young Master Li was visiting again. County Magistrate Shen was about to say that he was not here, when the usually polite boy came in himself.

“Uncle.” After bowing to County Magistrate Shen, Li Muyan said, “I know that the Li Family has done very bad things to Miss Ning. It’s only right for you and Aunt to blame me, but I really want to apologize sincerely. Can you help me?”

He had already wanted to apologize to Xiaoxiao several times, but Xiaoxiao did not want to see him. Every time he rushed to Xiaoxiao’s place, the latter had already left a step ahead. He could not stay at her house and wait, so he could only come to ask for help.

County Magistrate Shen sighed. “Little Girl Ning lent you the ginseng and helped the genius doctor to save your grandmother. Instead of treating her as a distinguished guest, you guys repaid kindness with ingratitude and allowed a servant to bully her. If my son did this, I would definitely beat him to death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tianci ran in excitedly. “Father, haven’t you always treated Cousin like your biological son?! With our relationship, we’re definitely biologically related!” After saying that, he even handed over a feather duster that he had taken out at some point in time.

County Magistrate Shen was speechless.

Li Muyan was speechless.

After sending Shen Tianci away, County Magistrate Shen saw that Li Muyan was really distressed and really wanted to apologize, so he said slowly, “Actually, there is a way.”

Li Muyan looked up abruptly. “Uncle, please tell me. Even if you really beat me up, I won’t fight back.”

Although he was really tempted, County Magistrate Shen still talked about business seriously. “Do you know that your grandmother has a herbal shop that no one is allowed to touch? It used to be a pawn shop?”

Li Muyan had an impression of it. County Magistrate Shen asked him, “Can you find anything about the pawnshop now?”

He had already ordered people to investigate carefully. There were no bandits nearby when Xiaoxiao came to Fortune Village for a few years. Even so, he was still at ease with Li Muyan’s character. He said, “Old Madam of the Ning Family sold Little Girl Ning’s mother’s dowry a few years ago. Among them were the belongings of their elders. They wanted to get them back.”

Xiaoxiao was going to think of a way to find the jade pendant when she was free, but County Magistrate Shen asked her for it mysteriously and asked without any mystery. “Guess who wants to help you find something?”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at the sky. “I guess it’s a kind person who doesn’t want to reveal his name and doesn’t ask for anything in return, let alone apologize.”

County Magistrate Shen could only ask his wife’s nephew to pray for mercy himself..
