Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 404: I like Miss Shen's chapter. We believe in her.

Qi Xi grabbed the man who was speaking vulgar words and laughing happily with his mouth wide open, and slapped him twice in the face with two loud slaps.

He was furious and said in a low voice, "Keep your mouth shut. You are not allowed to talk nonsense and make irresponsible comments about Miss Shen."

"The county magistrate specifically asked the young lady to prepare the food."

"Ms. Shen's Fengnian Restaurant is also quite famous in Anping County. It is your blessing that you can eat the food she cooks."

The man was not short and looked strong.

However, he was subdued by Qi Xi, who was thin and half a head shorter than him, and was slapped in the face.

Although the hit was not severe, everyone heard the two crisp sounds.

Most of the people around me are acquaintances, so I have no time to save face.

The man's face suddenly turned the color of liver, whether from being beaten or embarrassed, and he shouted anxiously, "Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me? I'll fight you to death."

Qi Xi chuckled twice, and with some clever moves, I don't know what technique he used, he twisted and pulled his hands and dislocated the man's jaw in an instant.

The man screamed in pain, but could no longer utter a single curse.

He was whimpering in his mouth and had no time to drink 7-Up.

He held his chin with both hands, opened his mouth wide, drooled, and squatted on the ground in a miserable state.

When the people around saw that Tian Daniu, who was always known for his brute force, was subdued easily, they dared not act presumptuously again.

Someone helped Tian Daniu, who was drooling all over, up, while others hurriedly admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy to Lu Lang and the others.

Seeing that he was almost shocked, Lu Lang nodded to Qi Xi.

Qi Xi reluctantly stepped forward and twisted and pushed it again. With a slight "click" sound, Tian Daniu's jaw was put back in place.

Tian Daniu lost face and suffered a great loss this time, but when he saw Qi Xi's smiling face, he felt a chill in his heart and dared not say anything.

Shen Yu had seen the skills of 7-Up before.

I wasn't surprised to see him show off his skills at this time.

He was just a little annoyed that these farmers spoke too roughly, while he was still concentrating on selling firewood and making money to supplement his food.

But then I thought, these people don't know exactly how much their food expenses are, and the work they do is heavy, so some complaints are inevitable.

Seeing that a group of people were looking at Lu Lang with angry expressions but dared not speak, Lu Lang stopped explaining, but there was still some anger in his eyes.

He looked at this group of people, wondering whether he should announce their immediate disbandment and start work tomorrow.

Shen Yu felt that it would be better to explain it clearly. If both parties started working with misunderstandings, problems would easily arise.

She took a step forward, bowed to everyone, and said in a crisp voice: "Brothers and uncles, please don't be angry."

"I feel that you are not only doing heavy work, but also having to chop extra firewood. This is us exploiting you in various ways."

"Let me do the math for you. Listen to me."

"If you are okay with having three meals a day like this, you can accept it."

"Then it's okay not to chop wood. This will save me a lot of trouble."

"We can make hats with our heads, and buy as much food as we have money."

Shen Yu's voice was crisp and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

She gave examples one by one to explain clearly how much food could be cooked if one had only fifty coins a day, and how much food could be cooked if twenty more coins were added.

Then he said, "We only have this much money. You can discuss among yourselves whether you want to chop the firewood that comes every day."

"It's very cold, let's hurry up, otherwise everyone will get cold."

Among this group of people, there are newcomers who are serving as officers for the first time, as well as veterans who have served as officers several times and have gained experience.

They gathered together to discuss it and pushed the leader.

The man came out boldly and asked, "Miss Shen, is what you said true?"

"Can you really spend all the money you earn on food without cutting a penny?"

"But don't say one thing and do another, like that cook before, who talked a lot of nonsense and finally fooled us with black flour cakes mixed with chaff and sand."

Someone hiding in the crowd added another shout.

Shen Yu looked solemn and said seriously: "Of course, I am the same as everyone else. I came here because the county magistrate specifically asked me to come and take charge."

"I have my own restaurant. Although it's not big, the daily income is enough to live on. I'm not here just to make some money."

"I just hope that you can eat well and stay warm, work hard, and quickly finish this winter's work so that we can all go home earlier."

"It's nice to spend the winter by the stove, drinking a bowl of hot noodle soup."

What Shen Yu said was much more soothing than the cold orders from Lu Lang and the others.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they thought about the roaring fire and steaming food at home.

Someone said, "I like what Miss Shen said. Let's believe her for once and finish the work quickly so we can go home."

"Work will officially begin tomorrow. I promise to chop a large bundle of firewood and bring it along on the way."

"We are all men in our prime, why would we waste such little strength?"

"Miss Shen even thought of ways to sell firewood so that we could have enough food to eat."

"If we are not willing to chop a bundle of wood, we are no better than girls."

Everyone was excited by this and shouted at the same time: "Wang Dazhuang, look at what you can do."

"If you can do it, so can we. Who is worse than a girl?"

"We can chop wood, too. We promise we can chop more wood than you can."

At one time, everyone expressed their determination.

Shen Yu just had a faint smile on his face, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Finally, I convinced these strong men. If they refused to do it, I couldn't force them to chop wood. At that time, I would only be able to cook as much as I had.

Lu Lang and Master Qian were watching from the side and saw that Shen Yu convinced everyone with just a few words, and things finally had a satisfactory result.

They couldn't help but look at each other, with admiration in their eyes.

After convincing everyone, the rest of the things became easy. Lu Lang told everyone the time to gather tomorrow, then waved and asked everyone to go home.

Shen Yu still followed Lu Lang and the others and took the car back to the county government office.

Arriving at the gate of the county government office, Lu Lang pointed to a large mule cart with a wide body and a fence around it and said to Shen Yu, "This is the cart used by the county government office to transport materials to the canal."

"There are three in total. This is one of them. You will use it every morning."

"Liushun is an excellent driver, so I'll let him take care of this mule cart."

"Every morning, after delivering firewood and buying food, we just need to wait for Liushun to come back at noon and bring the car over."
