After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 112 Come Back Tomorrow

Sure enough, when Shen Tang arrived, he saw a few disheveled young men with weak limbs and sweat all over their bodies.

There is no trace of the high spirits he had when he first arrived.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. You all came here in a hurry today. Shen Tang didn't have time to go to the town to book a restaurant. I can only ask you to have a simple meal at my humble abode."

When the teenagers saw Shen Tang say this, their eyes lit up.

In fact, they regretted it a long time ago. Why did they accept such a task?

But when they saw the people around them busy and enthusiastic, they really couldn't open their mouths to say that they quit.

Moreover, we learned from the surrounding people that this road was not built by the government, but was funded by Shen Tang.

These people also volunteered to help build the road.

Remember what these people said:

"The county marquis is willing to pay, so we can't just sit there and watch. We should contribute a little bit."

"How can a person be so unsatisfied?"

"You don't know that the Renmin Road you were on was also repaired a few days ago."

"It used to take half a day to walk up the rugged mountain road, but now it's much easier, and I can save most of the time!"

"I never thought in my life that there would be such a good road right next to my home."

A bluestone brick costs only a few cents, but tens of thousands of bluestone bricks on a road are no small sum.

Although they are uneducated and unskilled in their daily lives, if they were in their shoes, they would definitely not be willing to pay such a large sum of money to build a road.

And I heard that Shen Tang planned to split the soap factory in Shenjia Village into several surrounding villages.

I originally thought that Shen Tang was just a businessman seeking profit, but when I heard about the treatment of the workers in the Shenjia Village Soap Factory, I was secretly surprised.

There were holidays during festivals and holidays, gifts and clothes were given out, and the wages were very high. A worker's annual wages could be as much as that of a small shop owner.

Not only that, if there is a wedding or funeral in the workers' family, they can also ask for leave, and I heard that Shen Tang will even give them some money.

This seems to be different from the cunning businessmen they imagined.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Tang doesn't seem to be a bad person.

Shen Tang didn't know whether some people had changed their opinion of her, but she noticed that the way they looked at her was different.

I thought it was just a few young masters who were tired after an afternoon of hard work.

On the way back, they followed Shen Tang and kept looking at the girl who was much younger than them.

Shen Tang is so different from those girls in the boudoir in Beijing.

When I was in the capital, I could only hear about Shen Tang from my family, but it was only after I came to Shenjia Village that I realized that there really was such a unique woman in the world.

She seemed to be unconcerned about worldly views on women. She established workshops, built roads, separated her family and relatives, published poetry collections, and grew thousands of kilograms of rice. Now she was starting to grow late rice, which she had never heard of before.

Any one of these things, taken alone, would be a big deal, but she didn't seem to be proud of it at all.

There was a sense that she was naturally so extraordinary and indifferent, as if nothing could cause any disturbance in her eyes.

Perhaps, they really made the right decision to come to Jiangnan this time.

"It smells so good, can you smell it?"

Wei Ming loved delicious food, and now he was starving. When he smelled the food, he felt even hungrier.

Everyone had smelled it early in the morning, but no one spoke up.

"Alright, gentlemen, go in and wash your faces and hands, and we'll be ready for dinner soon."

Shen Tang led everyone into the yard, where there were several water tanks.

When Shen Yan heard this, he took out a small basin.

"If you brothers don't mind, please use Ayan's basin first."

Shen Tang also nodded.

"We don't have many visitors at home on weekdays, so please make do with it."

As he said this, he took out a few new handkerchiefs.

There was a trace of shame on everyone's face. They thought it was not because there were not many guests, but because not many people washed their faces in her house.

The teenagers didn't mind. They rubbed Ayan's head and took the basin.

"Ayan, right? I didn't use your basin for nothing. Here, this jade pendant is my thank you gift."

Zhu Yi pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Shen Yan's hand.

Seeing this, the others took off their belongings and stuffed them into the child's hands.

Shen Yan was at a loss as to what to do with these people's actions. He was stunned for a moment and could only look at Shen Tang.

"Brothers said to give it to you, just keep it."

Shen Tang spoke, and the child pulled the things closer to his arms.

"Thank you, brothers."

These things were nothing to these rich kids, so Shen Tang asked Shen Yan to help. After all, her family also bought a lot of vegetables today.

Several people washed up with several basins of black water and felt a little embarrassed.

Finally, it was Liu who called out for dinner, and everyone finally sat down.

There were about ten people sitting around a table, and there was no separation between men and women.

However, these young men felt a little restrained when they saw Liu, Shen Tang, and Shen Qingqing, mother and daughter, sitting together.

In Beijing, not to mention men and women sitting at the same table, even sitting separately they have to be separated by quite a distance. Some families with strict rules even have to use screens to separate them.

"Farmers, we don't care about food. Aren't you hungry?"

After hearing this, Wei Ming quickly sat down, and the others followed suit.

The dishes are very rich. Although they don’t look as good as those in restaurants, the smell is enough to whet your appetite.

"Mmmmm! Delicious, so delicious! Auntie's cooking skills are amazing!"

These ribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I don’t know what’s used in them, but they are ridiculously fragrant.

The taste is better than even the restaurants in Beijing!

The others looked at Wei Ming and naturally didn't believe it, cursing him in their hearts.

This kid seems to be quiet and honest on weekdays, but he is actually good at pleasing people!

Until the chopsticks enter your mouth!

"Auntie, you have such skills that you can open a restaurant!"

"Yes! It's so delicious!"

I never thought that an ordinary village woman would have such a good skill.

Liu couldn't help laughing when she saw these young men picking up the dishes quickly.

My daughter said that they looked like playboys, but how could a playboy be so good at praising others while eating!

"Eat more, eat more! Shen Tang has been spoiled by us. You guys should go today to build the road, but don't go tomorrow. You look like you've never suffered hardship before. Your family will be heartbroken if they see you when you get home!"

"Well, it's not hard, it's not hard, we'll go again tomorrow!"

Wei Ming answered with a smile while picking up some food.

It wasn't until someone touched my leg that I realized I had said the wrong thing.

"Yes, it's just road construction. It's not hard, not hard at all."

What a pig teammate!

Don't think before you speak! Your brain is occupied by food, right?

But what can I do? The words have already been said.

The others could only nod in agreement.

Shen Tang and Liu Shi didn't expect that these people would go, and they looked at each other.

Oh, forget it. I can only go to Magistrate Lin tomorrow to find out the situation.

After one meal, several people ate until their bellies were full.

After drinking a cup, everyone took a carriage back to the inn in town.
