Chapter 517 Chu Chu is drunk
"Is twenty thousand kilograms enough?" Chu Chu was a little worried and tentatively looked at Brother Jue's expression.
She didn't feel bad about the food. She had wanted to donate it. Now if she could donate it in the name of her in-laws and uncle, she would be happy to do so. She would just stock it up if there wasn't enough space in the future.
Now I am just worried that if I release too much, it will exceed my uncle's ability and make people suspicious and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Where are the green vegetables? This is what is most needed now." Jiao Zhongjue still looked at Chu Chu. She had mentioned to herself many times that vegetables grew too fast due to the space.
Shangguan couldn't understand this operation. He thought he was asking the question, but he must have disliked the lack of things, so he quickly replied: "Now there are two Zhuangzi who can pick vegetables, but even if we don't have it at home, They don’t even give it away in the restaurant, and they can only send out two carts a day at most.”
Jiao Zhongjue waved his hand towards him to tell him to be silent, but looked at Chu Chu and said, "There are a total of sixteen villages in that area. Can each village pull a cart of vegetables a day?"
Shangguan didn't dare to speak anymore, and looked at Chu Chu along Jiao Zhongjue's eyes. He found that everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Chu, and they all placed their hopes on Miss Chu Chu. He didn't know what it meant. Could it be that Lord Shun Guo The lady from the mansion has great powers?
"Okay." Chu Chu's voice was clear and she answered neatly. All those who stood up to listen attentively sat back down again.
After receiving Chu Chu's affirmative answer, Jiao Zhongjue turned his attention to Shangguan Zhi: "After dinner, I will ask Zimo to take you to the Yamen to find Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhong.
You say that starting from tomorrow, we will haul three thousand kilograms of vegetables to the sixteen villages along the river every day, one cart for each village.
As for food, tell them to donate a total of 30,000 catties, of which 10,000 catties will be donated to Weizhou County. You will also be responsible for pulling them to the Yamen these days.
The other 20,000 kilograms were donated to Xiangzhou County Government and asked them to arrange for someone to receive it. We will deliver it in three days. "
After hearing this, Shangguan was shaking a little and his face turned a little blue. He cautiously discussed with Jiao Zhongjue: "How about converting the 20,000 kilograms of grain into silver? It's true that even if you have money now, you can't buy that much grain. It’s just green vegetables…”
"You empty a farm where vegetables are grown, throw the key to Zimo, and send people to fetch vegetables every day at dawn."
He looked at Zimo and asked Shangguan Zhi: "Do you have an empty house in Xiangzhou County?"
Seeing that Shangguan Zhi hadn't reacted yet, and fearing that he would misunderstand, Zimo quickly reminded him: "If there is no empty house, find a way to rent a house that can store 20,000 kilograms of grain. Then just give me the key. You don't need to do anything else." No matter what, just do as Crown Prince Jue says, Master will not make things difficult for you."
Seeing that his uncle was still in a daze, no one could react to this situation. Grandma Yan sighed and told him: "Chu Chu and Crown Prince Jue are helping my uncle! Jiangnan is rich and can donate tens of thousands of kilograms of grain." I'm afraid there are quite a few wealthy households, but it would be different if they donated 30,000 catties.
My uncle-in-law, just do what Crown Prince Jue said. It’s all for the sake of the people of Xiangzhou County, so don’t bear any burden. "
Seeing that Chu Chu also nodded to him, Shangguan Zhi quickly stood up and knelt down towards Jiao Zhongjue.
"Uncle Shangguan, there's no need to thank me. That's Chu Chu's intention. If you want to thank her, feel free to thank her."
The Shangguan turned around and wanted to kneel down to them again.
Grandma Yan quickly called to Zimo, who helped Shangguan stand up straight.
Grandma Yan also said: "We are all members of our own family, so my in-laws and uncles do not need to be polite."
She asked him to sit down again, and then Grandma Yan told Jiao Zhongjue that her in-laws had invited them to come over for a banquet.
"I can't get along with His Highness the Twelve." Even if you didn't want to think about it, you knew that His Highness Twelve would not condescend to go to a merchant's house. It would be better for Jiao Zhongjue to avoid suspicion himself, after all, his identity is there.
Jiao Zhongjue thought for a while and told Shangguan Zhi: "But my uncle can send us a few tables of food that day and send them to the government office."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan knew that it was giving him a chance to show his kindness in front of the adults. He quickly wanted to kneel down and thank him again, but this time Grandma Yan stopped him.
Jiao Zhongjue warned him: "Cook some special dishes from Xiangzhou County, but don't embarrass me with any delicacies."
Shangguan Zhi quickly nodded in agreement, thinking about what fresh ingredients he would have in the morning.
Not long after, the food was served, and Chu Chu also made a jar of good wine. However, Shangguan insisted on not drinking, saying that he and Zimo would go to the Yamen later and had to arrange the carriage and horses immediately, for fear that drinking would cause trouble. .
After Zimo and Shangguan left, Brother Jue drank two glasses of fruit wine with his grandma. He tried a few sips by himself first. Jiao Zhongjue saw that it was sour and sweet but didn't taste like alcohol, so he didn't stop Chu Chu and let her drink a few sips. .
Unexpectedly, Chu Chu became confused when she spoke soon, and kept pulling Jiao Zhongjue to lecture her.
"Brother Jue was still fun when he was in the capital, but now he always has a straight face and can't do this or that. Does it bother you?"
"Look at your long face. Huahua said it's called a poker face. Do you know? If you keep acting like this, I won't stay with you anymore."
"I still like the original brother Jue. When we were in Taohua Village, Fu Bao would catch fish whenever he wanted. Even when it was getting dark, he would go up to the mountain with Fu Bao. He would take Fu Bao on a boat ride in the capital and eat wild duck eggs together. , Hehe, it seems that Brother Jue’s birthday is coming soon... "
Chu Chu kept spinning in circles and mouthing non-stop. Grandma Yan was dazzled by looking at her. She knew that nothing would happen if she was just smelling of alcohol. She also had a headache when she coughed. She could only close her eyes and listen to her fuss, otherwise I felt dizzy even with my eyes open.
Jiao Zhongjue found this kind of Chu Chu very novel and cute.
He was just afraid that she would fall and eventually circle her in front of him.
Strangely enough, Chu Chu didn't look for anyone, but when she saw Jiao Zhongjue, she pulled her and touched his face directly.
His face was so painful from being pulled by Chu Chu, his nose was pinched, and his ears were pulled. Anyway, he was just not idle and showed no martial ethics at all.
Grandma Yan and Qiu Li stood beside her and grinned in pain for him. Jiao Zhongjue was not angry either. He gently hugged her to his chest and let her vent. If she hadn't been drunk, Chu Chu would have gradually lost her temper according to the rules in the past year. Why are you so close to him?
When Zimo came back and saw the prince coaxing the young lady, he would always say the same words: "Why is Chuchu uncomfortable? Does Chuchu have a headache? Yes, yes, yes, it's Brother Jue's fault."
He didn't know whether the young lady had a headache, but the master's pleasant words and bewildered expression gave him a headache.
When Chu Chu had had enough trouble and was sleepy again, Jiao Zhongjue did not rely on other people's hands and carefully picked her up to the backyard and put her on grandma's bed.
Then she watched Qiuli wipe her face, hands and feet with hot water, and saw the little one sleeping with her arms and legs spread out on the quilt, and then she left with peace of mind.
