Chapter 271 Detachable Pavilion
But as soon as he said this, he immediately received the village head's death gaze, which was like a sharp sword. "What's the matter, kid, are you still going to eat as much as you want?"
"Zhuangtou, you, you, when did you come back?" Caught by the village head, several people panicked in an instant and immediately asked stutteringly.
"If I don't come back, you guys will definitely make a scene!" The village head put his hands on his hips, glared at them, and scolded, "Have you forgotten the rules I taught you every day? The princess is here, and you dare to be so presumptuous!"
One of them replied cautiously: "Zhuangtou, we, we just smelled this fragrance so good that we couldn't help it."
The head of the village snorted coldly: "Can't help it? Then you have to endure it! The princess hasn't spoken yet, and you dare to lose your composure."
The other person quickly admitted his mistake: "Zhuangtou, we know we were wrong and we won't do it again."
The village head still had a sullen face: "It's good that you know you are wrong, just be honest!"
Chu Ci also noticed the strangeness of the village head. She walked over with a kind smile on her face and said softly, "Don't blame them, village head. This bacon rice is made for everyone to enjoy together. There is no need to be so strict."
The village head hurriedly bowed and said, "Princess, these guys don't know the rules. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Chu Ci waved his hand gently and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has worked hard. Let's enjoy this bacon rice today and be happy."
When the farmers heard this, they were delighted and thanked her one after another: "Thank you, Princess! You are truly kind-hearted!"
Chu Ci did not accept the farmers' gratitude calmly, but waved her jade hand lightly and said solemnly: "No, no, no, this bacon rice is not given to you for free."
When the farmers heard this, they were stunned. Some even became suspicious and began to guess Chu Ci's intention.
Chu Ci then took a deep breath and continued with a smile: "After eating this bacon rice, when we raise pigs in the future, you must not be lazy. I am looking forward to the pigs in our farm being raised to be fat and strong, and then this princess will be able to benefit greatly."
After a short pause, Chu Ci looked at everyone earnestly and said, "Of course, this princess will not treat you unfairly. Regardless of other things, you can still live a life without lack of meat."
"No shortage of meat?" How many people in this world dare to make such a promise?
So, some people could no longer hold back and asked boldly, "My Lady Princess, is this the bacon we have today?"
"It's not just bacon. Once the pigs are well raised, fresh meat can be fried, stewed, steamed, fried, etc. There are many ways to cook it."
"The leftovers can be made into bacon, sausage, dried meat, or meat jerky..."
Chu Ci describes with great enthusiasm the wide variety of pork products, which, combined with the rich aroma of bacon rice, are extremely tempting.
The sounds of the people present swallowing could no longer be concealed, and they rose and fell, like a symphony of hunger.
Qianxue and Qianyan looked at each other and saw a deep smile in each other's eyes. "It's done--"
Afterwards, Qianxue opened the lid of the pot of bacon rice, and the rich aroma instantly filled the air amid the steam. Qianyan shouted loudly, "The bacon rice is ready, everyone line up to get some!"
Everyone present was eager and full of expectations, but no one rushed to get the food. Instead, they looked at Chu Ci at the same time as if they had telepathic connection.
Their eyes were filled with anxiety and restraint. They just waited quietly until Chu Ci nodded in approval with a gentle smile. Only then did they feel relieved and, following Qian Yan's instructions, lined up in an orderly manner to get their meals.
Chu Ci just watched from the side for a while and saw that although the farmers were anxious inside and their faces were full of desire for delicious food, none of them cut in line or played tricks.
Even those lively and active children were well restrained by their elders and stood obediently in the line.
After seeing the harmonious and orderly scene he wanted to see, Chu Ci felt that there was no need to stay any longer. After all, if he really stood here and watched, everyone would probably be too nervous to eat well.
So, Chu Ci raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "Husband, you see, everyone has been busy for a long time, and I believe everyone is hungry now. Why don't we go and eat, so as not to waste this delicious bacon rice."
Fan Jingrui naturally would not object to Chu Ci's proposal, but gently greeted his two sisters.
Upon seeing this, the village head lady quickly asked her clever little son to run to Chu Ci and the others to lead the way, "My Lady Princess, the pavilion is ready, all the nobles, please come this way!"
Chu Ci hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now he looked in the direction pointed by the youngest son of the village head, and saw an exquisite pavilion standing there.
The pavilion has flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail is handled just right, showing the wonders of ingenuity.
Chu Ci was filled with amazement, his thoughts flying, and he couldn't help but think: If in the previous life, such an ingenious object would be a national treasure, and it would definitely be carefully preserved in a museum for everyone to admire.
Now? This beautiful pavilion is his private property.
But since this pavilion can be assembled and built at any time, can the wooden house also be assembled and built?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci turned his head slightly and asked gently: "Little guy, do you know who the craftsman who made this pavilion is from our village?"
"I know, I know. It's Uncle Song. I'll call him over right away."
As he said that, the housekeeper's youngest son turned around and was about to run, but was stopped by Chu Ci. "No need, go back and eat! After dinner, ask the uncle Song you mentioned to come over."
"Yes, I'll listen to the princess." Although the youngest son of the village head responded like this, as soon as he returned, he couldn't wait to tell his parents about Chu Ci's request.
Song Zhuangtou naturally did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly found the carpenter Song Qingnan with his bowl in hand. "Old Song, eat something quickly. After you finish eating, go to the princess's place and wait. It looks like your good days are coming, Old Song."
Zhuangtou said with a happy face, his eyes full of envy and expectation for Song Qingnan.
Song Qingnan was not stupid. He immediately understood what the village head meant and said hurriedly, "Old Zhang, this is all thanks to you for telling me in time. I will definitely thank you someday."
After saying that, Song Qingnan didn't dare to delay. He quickly shoveled the rice in the bowl into his mouth, then wiped his mouth and trotted all the way to the pavilion where Chu Ci and the others were.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, no matter in which world or era, the Chinese people are always very capable."
